"After all, according to normal logic, ordinary customers who come to a brothel for the first time will generally only spend money on the most basic services, trying it out first. If they feel the service is good, they will start to invest a large sum of money."
"That's exactly what happened."
Gu Qingze nodded in agreement.
"But what we need to do now is to improve our rankings. If we pretend to be a different customer every time and invest a large sum of money, it's not realistic and will only arouse suspicion."
"So... I suggest that we train a few regular big money sponsors for Brother Qingze!"
Song Jinnian said excitedly with bright eyes.
"Cultivate a few regular big money sponsors? Brother Jinnian, what you mean is..."
Gu Qingze glanced at him, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
"That's right, that's what Brother Qingze meant. For example, I will continue to use the same identity I have this time when I come next time."
"Continue using it?"
"Well, because of my high spending this time, the brothel's madam should have some impression of my face."
"After this time, I can pretend to be unsatisfied and become Brother Qingze's regular big money sponsor. That way, any high spending I do later will seem very reasonable."
Song Jinnian paused for a moment and continued.
"Of course, in order to avoid suspicion as much as possible during this period, we have to intersperse some other ordinary guests."
"I can discuss this with Brother Ling Xiao. I'll have him disguise himself as a different kind of guest every time he comes, just like before. I'll become your regular sponsor, and we'll work hard to improve our rankings. We still have twenty days left..."
"Stop for a moment, Brother Jinnian. Although this method is highly feasible and takes the advantages of the previous two plans, the matter of the owner of the Hualou Tower..."
"I know what Brother Qingze is worried about. I've inquired about it in advance. Apart from the first day when I introduced Brother Qingze here, I've never seen the owner of the Flower House before."
"So... I guess there are three possibilities."
Song Jinnian said this solemnly while holding up three fingers.
"The first possibility is that he just came to inspect it unintentionally and then left, but I think this is unlikely."
"The second possibility is that he's planning some big conspiracy and doesn't have time to focus on the superficial business of the flower shop."
"The third possibility..."
As Song Jinnian was speaking, he suddenly leaned close to Gu Qingze's ear and lowered his voice very low.
"The owner of the brothel is so well-connected that he might be monitoring every move of the entire brothel from somewhere!"
After he finished speaking, he showed an expectant expression, wanting to see how scared Gu Qingze would be. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingze looked calm, without even a hint of surprise.
"Brother Jinnian's guess coincides with mine. It's precisely because I'm worried about the third possibility that I've been emphasizing caution to avoid arousing suspicion."
"But if it's really the third possibility, then no matter how cautious Brother Qingze is, it will be useless, right?"
When Song Jinnian heard his words, he spread his hands helplessly and smiled.
"So, what I just said was that I was worried about the third possibility, which is that the brothel owner doesn't have all-powerful hands and eyes, but can monitor some of the brothel's situations."
Gu Qingze answered seriously.
Unexpectedly, after hearing his answer, Song Jinnian laughed.
"Brother Qingze, sometimes being afraid of this and that isn't being cautious, it's being a coward."
Gu Qingze couldn't help but frown when he heard his laughter.
Song Jinnian seemed to have noticed his dissatisfaction, so he put away his smile and spoke seriously.
"Ahem, what I mean is that we have already made a thorough plan. The next step is to implement it seriously. We can't change other external factors, so it's useless to worry about them."
"Yes, I know. Thank you, Brother Jinnian."
Gu Qingze said this suddenly. Although he often said this, he was too serious this time.
Song Jinnian felt a little embarrassed by his stare and turned his head slightly. "Of course, of course. Aren't you and Brother Ling Xiao both my friends? Friends should help each other."
"There's more than just this reason, right? We weren't friends at first?" Gu Qingze asked casually.
"I don't understand what Brother Qingze is saying at all." Song Jinnian raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile.
But Gu Qingze didn't seem to believe it at all. He just stared at him and remained silent.
"Okay, okay, I admit it."
Song Jinnian was a little frightened by his stare and had no choice but to surrender, then put on a serious expression.
"Initially, it was because of Brother Su Han. Because Brother Su Han treated you as friends, that's why I became friends with you. I also want to leave a good impression on the humans around Brother Su Han."
Gu Qingze nodded. Song Jinnian’s words were not unexpected.
"What now?"
"It's the same, but maybe after being together for a long time, some feelings will develop. But Brother Su Han is still the main reason."
Song Jinnian answered without hesitation.
"You are honest."
When Gu Qingze said this, he was very calm, as if he was stating the facts completely.
"Isn't this what Qingze brother wanted? I'm just saying what you wished."
Song Jinnian retorted with a smile, and then teased.
"Brother Qingze, please don't be sad. After all, I'm not a purely good demon. I definitely have some selfish motives, but I will do my best to help you."
