Chapter 150: Chapter 150: 3 People, 2400 Schemes
Moyu stayed in the Vegetable Garden Dungeon. After Qian Qi’s detailed explanation, it understood the difference between the current world and the dungeon world and became very interested in various dungeons.
New dungeons represent new shiny things. If it can find various rare shiny things, it will also be more competitive than other male Moyu when it comes to getting a mate!
Moyu quickly got addicted to the Vegetable Garden Dungeon, dedicated to finding more fresh shiny things.
Qian Qi checked the magic plants’ growth in the fields, confirmed there were no issues, and then left the dungeon.
Currently, the online information about her is still relatively calm. The Will News Agency used her as a gimmick for traffic, attracting a lot of brain-dead speculation and echoing. Fortunately, she had already handed over the recorded video to Sikong Wang. With his help, the Will News Agency couldn’t stir up too much trouble.
She actually didn’t care much if someone used her as fodder, but she still had the Bright Orphanage behind her. Just for this, she had to be a bit more cautious to avoid dragging the orphanage into a storm as well.
Scratching her messy hair, Qian Qi was about to take a bath when she suddenly noticed quite a few luxury cars parked at the front gate, including hovercars.
"So lively today?" Qian Qi walked towards the dean’s office in surprise. She didn’t see Xiang Wen Yun’s figure through the outer window. It wasn’t until she entered the teaching building that she found out the multipurpose room had been temporarily turned into a reception room.
She stood at the door and eavesdropped for a while, discovering that some people wanted to buy the land of the orphanage, some wanted to adopt children from the Bright Orphanage, and some openly wanted to discuss potion business with her.
"A pack of greedy wolves has arrived..." Qian Qi rubbed her chin and turned to leave the teaching building.
[Aren’t you going to help?] The system was surprised.
"No need."
Qian Qi wanted to see if Xiang Wen Yun could deal with these hungry wolves who came at the slightest hint of an opportunity. After all, she couldn’t stay at the orphanage forever. If Xiang Wen Yun couldn’t handle these, she would have to consider keeping a low profile in the future.
To avoid pushing the orphanage into the limelight like this time.
However, there’s still one person she must meet.
Qian Qi stayed at the corner of the teaching building, and when the person sent by the Awakened Association came out, she whistled.
"Hey~ you~" Qian Qi gestured with her chin, "Come over."
"Qian Qi?" The person brightened up upon seeing Qian Qi and hurried over, "Turns out you’re at the orphanage! Dean Xiang just said you were in the hospital!"
"Just got back, not convenient to see others. Of course, I still have to give face to the Awakened Association." Qian Qi extended her hand, a smile spreading across her face, "How should I address you?"
"I’m the secretary to the president of the Awakened Association, Han Biao." Han Biao quickly shook Qian Qi’s hand, his face breaking into a warm smile, "This time, I’m here to deliver an invitation, to arrange a convenient formal meeting time with you."
Seemingly afraid Qian Qi might think the Awakened Association’s sincerity was less than the Dungeon Association, he emphasized clearly, "The president will personally meet you then."
Qian Qi raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her eyes as she waved her hand and then discreetly withdrew it, "No need, the president must be very busy. I do online transactions with Chairman Tang, so naturally with..."
She patted her head, pretending to have a bad memory, and asked, "What’s your president’s surname again?"
Han Biao was stunned for a moment, giving Qian Qi a thoughtful look, "Our president’s surname is Wei."
"Oh right, President Wei~" The curve of Qian Qi’s mouth deepened, making her little rough face look incredibly eerie, "I’ll give you my Light Brain Number, have President Wei add me when he finds the time."
This..." Han Biao’s expression changed slightly.
It was not just his illusion a moment ago; Qian Qi this girl, she wasn’t as simple as they imagined.
If it were anyone else, they would have long asked for President Wei’s Light Brain Number outright, eager to latch onto the Awakened Association’s connections.
Yet Qian Qi chose the opposite path. Did she guess that President Wei might delay approving the friend request to show her his authority? Or was she showing President Wei her strong stance, that this Frenzy Potion deal must be completely under her control?
"Secretary Han, what are you thinking?" Qian Qi squinted her eyes, smiling merrily.
"Oh, nothing, then please send me your Light Brain Number." Han Biao collected himself, his smile turning a bit less ingratiating and false.
Qian Qi sent over her Light Brain Number and personally saw Han Biao to the orphanage gate. While waiting for him to shut his hovercar’s door, Qian Qi suddenly knocked on the window.
"What’s up?" Han Biao lowered the window, puzzled.
Qian Qi lifted her wrist, pointing at the Light Brain, and grinned, "If I’m not added by midnight, I’ll just sell the potion recipe to the Dungeon Association~"
Han Biao: !!!
What the heck! She’s really sharp! She set the time limit; now they couldn’t deliberately delay a few days to dry Qian Qi out, could they?
Han Biao left the orphanage with the corners of his eyes twitching, while at the entrance, Qian Qi thumbed her nose with a sneer, "Still trying to boss me around?"
They really think I’m just an innocent little white flower? Back in the Otherworld dealing with influential figures, you guys were probably still playing with mud!
...
That night, Wei Bisheng’s friend request came just on time. After agreeing, Qian Qi happily pulled both Chairman Tang and President Wei into a small group chat.
System: [Wow, you’re really wicked...]
"Not at all, three people and 2400 strategies, isn’t it fun?" Qian Qi mischievously stroked an imaginary long beard, chuckling, "Tang Yunde and Wei Bisheng both want to privately reach a deal with me. If promises that are vague aren’t met, I’ll be the one suffering losses."
"Even if I refuse private deals, adhering to the highest bid, if I play tricks and manipulate prices, it’s easy to get both of them to hate me and cause a disaster."
Therefore, letting these two fight it out in the small group while she stays away from the chaos, isn’t it marvelous?
Plus, she could also covertly observe the true strength and relationship of the two parties.
[I am your uncle]: Good evening, Presidents. The starting bid for this auction is 2 sets of B-level Defense Armor. Both of you must be busy normally, so the auction duration will be 28 days. Feel free to place your bids. I will occasionally send messages with bid updates. Three bid calls with no response will finalize the last submitted bid.
[Chairman Tang]: ???
[Wei Bisheng]: ?????
Wait a second? Even the auctioneer’s rule of three bid calls is applied? Wouldn’t they have to keep an eye on this group chat regularly, lest the auction end after Qian Qi announced the third call?
This little girl is too cunning! She’s practically controlling the auction completely!
[I am your uncle]: Auction rules introduction is complete. You may start now; I’m going offline~
After sending the message, Qian Qi went offline directly, ignoring however frantic Tang Yunde and Wei Bisheng might get, and went to sleep.
Left in the small group chat, Tang Yunde and Wei Bisheng looked at each other through the Light Brain.
Two minutes later.
[Chairman Tang]: Two B-level Defense Armors, plus three C-level Defense Armors.
[Wei Bisheng]: Are you actually playing along with her? This group bidding is absurd! I’ll add 30 million more.
[Chairman Tang]: I think it’s quite fair. Do you want to compete with those capitalists for the potion recipe? Those guys are more willing to pay than you and me. I’ll add 20 million more.
[Wei Bisheng]: Ha, in essence, you are a pushover, with no choice but to let others lead you by the nose.
[Chairman Tang]: Not at all, it’s better than you, a dung beetle wearing a mask, shameless.
Neither knew when they stopped bidding and suddenly began to snipe at each other sarcastically.
