Chapter 309 Purpose
Sending out this invitation makes the host family look good, and it also makes the person who receives it look good.
Gu Qing, on the other hand, was thinking that if she was going to put on a show, she should do it big, so as to raise her own status and make things easier for what she was about to say.
Gu Qing had no idea that her act was actually quite successful; at least a hundred years from now, people would still be showing off that invitation online.
Given her status and position at that time, there weren't many banquets where he could personally write invitations, so this invitation was offered for a high price.
The three people present were the first to be shocked.
"Qingqing, you, you really surprise me in every way." As Lou Xiaoyu said this, she also thought of the rumors that had circulated online.
Now, in his view, all those previous comments about Gu Qing were rumors.
"Don't worry, Qingqing, I will definitely handle the banquet perfectly."
Both of them knew the importance of this banquet, so they put aside any ulterior motives and wholeheartedly assisted Gu Qing.
At this moment, Yan Anli nervously raised one hand, "Um, I can help."
Gu Qing reached out and pressed his hand down. Seeing his eyes dim, she quickly explained, "You can't show your face in this matter. You have to attend the banquet like the stranger you were last time. It'll be good if you're on the same side as them and cooperate with me."
As Gu Qing spoke, Yan Anli's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
Seeing the two looking at each other, Bo Chuan quietly interjected, "Qingqing, Chengzhi's uncle has also come, along with the An family and other families."
"Hmm! I know, but what does that have to do with me? As the leader, you should just treat them well. As for me, just tell him that I only talk to the woman in charge."
There's no need for everyone else to come and visit; after all, I leveled up through my own hard work.
It wasn't that Gu Qing intentionally offended these people, but rather that the remaining ones were either small families coming to join in the fun, or they had ill intentions and wanted to use their power to get a share of the pie.
If these people get involved, things will be hard to control. That's why I specially invited these families. As long as I can handle them, Gu Qing won't even need to greet the rest of them.
Bo Chuan sent someone to deliver the invitations, while Lou Xiaoyu and I said we were busy preparing dinner. After dinner, those people started getting busy, and even Qi Bai went upstairs to the dressing room to choose clothes and jewelry to wear the next day.
After resting for a while, Gu Qing led her people to the Jin family's residence. Upon arriving at the gate, she was immediately escorted inside by the guards, indicating that Jin Beiwang had anticipated this.
He wasn't wearing a white coat this time; instead, he was wearing a casual Chinese-style short-sleeved shirt with knotted buttons. Upon seeing Gu Qing, he greeted her warmly. "It's an honor to have Purifier Gu Qing here."
"Researcher Jin, you flatter me. I hope you don't mind that I've come to bother you. I'm here today mainly to deliver an invitation. There's a small appreciation event being held at my home tomorrow, and I would be honored if you could attend." Gu Qing placed the carefully wrapped gifts and invitation on the coffee table.
"Not at all. I will definitely attend since it was an invitation from Master Gu. I know your other purpose in coming. I just don't know your decision." He poured Gu Qing some juice, one of the kinds she usually drinks.
It seems this person really knows a lot.
However, he spoke directly, and Gu Qing didn't have time to beat around the bush, so she took a symbolic sip of juice and then smiled at him.
"I already know what you and Achuan were talking about. I'm really sorry that because of the signal problem, our communication was not timely, which caused you to misunderstand."
However, if we continue down this path, you will inevitably feel wronged, so I came here specifically to apologize to you. Let's pretend this never happened.
Jin Beiwang was holding the same juice, about to bring it to his lips, when he heard this and paused, unconsciously clenching his fist.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he took a sip, but it took him a long time to swallow it.
He placed the cup on the coffee table, then a faint smile still played on his lips. "I don't quite understand?"
Gu Qing didn't reply, but her eyes signaled for him to continue.
"Why did you reject me? As far as I know, you've already agreed to marry Yan Anli before the new year. So why can't it be me?"
Hearing his words, Gu Qing twirled the cup between her fingers and spoke frankly. "Researcher Jin, I, Gu Qing, am ambitious. What I want to build is the Gu family, not the Bo family, not the Lou family, not the Yan family, and certainly not the Jin family."
