Chapter 433 A Swarm of Rivals
"That's too polite of you, it makes me feel awkward." Gu Qing wasn't about to go along with his words; she just wanted him to say something!
These guys are trying to trick me, I'm not falling for it.
The people who disembarked from the spaceship were both surprised and impressed.
"There may have been some shortcomings in our hospitality during the early stages of the construction of Azure Star. Please bear with us." Bo Chuan stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Gu Qing, facing the group of people.
He began receiving these people as the chief consort. Several people appreciated his measured approach and admired his good judgment. They also admired Gu Qing's discerning eye.
He thought to himself, "As expected, without a phoenix tree, you can't attract a golden phoenix."
"Our relationship doesn't require any special treatment. Besides, I came here to give you... and also to deliver the exotic plant."
Feng Hongyu believed that his relationship with the two men was stronger than that with the other three, so he spoke more casually.
"Thank you so much for your help. So everyone has prepared accommodations. Let's go and rest for a bit, and then have some lunch here."
Turning around and leading his men out, Feng Hongyu patted Feng Qian on the shoulder as he passed by, then made a series of winks and gestures, almost causing Feng Qian to lose his composure.
"What's wrong with Uncle? Can't you just say what's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss? They don't seem to have any tacit understanding, how am I supposed to guess?"
Finally, deciding to agree regardless, she calmly nodded. Feng Hongyu immediately broke into a doting smile.
The group quickened their pace, chatting politely and tentatively returning to the manor. They first exchanged a large quantity of exotic plants, explaining that they needed them to make fertilizer and cultivate other exotic plants.
Several people showed great interest in the newly cultivated alien plant. Gu Qing said frankly, "It's still in the confidential stage. I will let you know first when it is successfully cultivated, and it will be at a member price! Thank you for your support in posting this task."
After chatting along the way, even a fool would know that these people were trying to get her to do them a favor.
Fortunately, in modern society, people are used to their bosses making grand promises and spouting platitudes.
The group of people, however, did not realize they were being taken advantage of. They all nodded earnestly, "Okay, okay, you must let us know first."
Gu Qing suddenly felt like she was being given a false promise.
After finally finishing their meal, the group returned to their courtyard. Gu Qing threw herself onto the custom-made cloud sofa, experiencing a feeling similar to floating and weightlessness, which made her completely relax.
"What's wrong? Are you tired?" Jin Beiwang pressed down on her shoulders.
"It's not a bad thing that they came; at this critical moment, it's a sign that they're backing us up," Bo Chuan advised.
"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't be so polite and courteous," Gu Qing replied, tilting her head to look at Bo Chuan.
"You've made such a big commotion, why isn't there any sound from your side?"
Bo Chuan took out a plate of fruit and began peeling it. "Father is in charge of it! But he might come over tomorrow or the day after." He hesitated for the last part of his sentence.
Gu Qing patted his hand, then glanced at the others. "Everyone else has done their best, we can't leave you out. We'll give each of you three free spots per year."
The rest will have to wait until my abilities improve. Of course, this includes Qi Bai.
Before the others could speak, she continued, "Don't think that just because you've lost a whole year, you know how many people I've purified. Even now, I've upgraded from alienation to purification."
I also need to take care of the exotic plants I cultivate myself, and I plan to limit it to no more than 70 per year. Unless I can reach S-rank or higher, but if you want to compete, I won't object to the remaining spots as long as you can afford the price.
Bo Chuan took the hand she was patting to support him, and gently kissed it. "What are you saying, Qingqing? We're more than grateful. We know how much these three free spots are worth."
Then he looked at the others and said, "If anyone has any complaints, they can tell me directly. As the first husband, I will mediate this matter."
A slight smile played on his lips, but the meaning behind his words was clear to everyone.
Jin Beiwang rested his chin on her shoulder, his words tinged with aggrieved emotion. "Qingqing, I can already imagine the swarm of rivals that will come after you, including Qi Bai."
