Gu Qingcheng didn't care at all whether her neighbors were top-notch or not, nor did she pay attention to what they were criticizing.
When she learned that the person outside was Ma Yong, she put on her veil without delay and opened the door.
"The General's arrival has brought honor to my humble abode."
She greeted Ma Yong with a smile.
Ma Yong glanced at Gu Qingcheng's eyes and saw that her eyebrows were curved. She was not angry at all about what happened in the morning, nor did she vent her anger on others. He let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Ms. Gu is a sensible person.
"Ms. Gu, haha, I never come to your temple for no reason."
Ma Yong laughed and tested the issue in a joking tone.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed, "General, you're joking. When we were in the county, you helped us several times. My mother and I are incredibly grateful."
"If you need anything, just tell me!"
Gu Qingcheng thought about it on the way back.
She can help with Ma Yong’s matter.
It wasn't that she took the opportunity to show off, or felt that she had won the friendship of the two foreigners, Bayer and Felix.
But through her contact with these foreigners at the horse farm, Gu Qingcheng had some understanding of the temperament of these foreigners.
These people look very gentlemanly and treat their friends sincerely.
But deep down they are all concerned about their own interests.
As long as they can gain benefits, they are good friends!
Ma Yong wants Western weapons, while Bayer, Felix and others want money!
Perhaps in the eyes of many Chinese people of this era, foreigners, with the support of a powerful motherland, seem to be very rich and are superior people.
Actually, it is not.
Just like Mr. Bayer, he has a good social status and economic income in China.
But why is he still so obsessed with horse racing?
Apart from interest, is there no reason for money?
Gu Qingcheng could see clearly that after she helped Bayer win a horse race, the serious gentleman from Country D's eyes were full of fanaticism.
And Mr. Felix, it is also very obvious that he is "arrogant at first and respectful later".
for what?
Of course it’s the word money.
As their ancients said, "Man dies for money."
No matter how "noble" a person is, he cannot escape the desire for yellow and white things!
Warlords like Ma Yong had money but couldn't buy weapons.
First of all, they really have no connections.
Secondly, they have a wrong understanding of foreigners.
I always feel that foreigners are not short of money, and it seems too materialistic to talk about money all the time.
Gu Qingcheng can help with both of these matters, so Ma Yong’s problem is naturally not a problem!
After figuring out all the key points, Gu Qingcheng, contrary to her hesitation at the racecourse, became very positive.
Ma Yong misunderstood and thought that Gu Qingcheng really cared about his "favor" to her, so he was willing to help her even though it was difficult.
"Ms. Gu!"
This person is truly sincere.
She is so grateful and must be a good woman with affection and righteousness.
With a control group like Miss Chen, Ma Yong felt that Gu Qingcheng was more reliable.
However, now is not the time to talk about this.
The most important thing is to establish relations with foreigners and then buy sufficient weapons.
He has enough brothers under his command, but he lacks weapons.
If the weapons are in place, hmph, Warlord—
Ma Yong concealed his surging ambition, with a pleading look in his eyes, "Since Ms. Gu has said so, I won't be shy."
"I think with your intelligence, Ms. Gu, you can see that I want to make friends with Mr. Felix."
"He's Mr. Bach's personal physician. Mr. Bach is a big businessman. Not only does he resell machinery, he also has connections in the military of Country D..."
Ma Yong told Gu Qingcheng in detail what he had heard from Miss Chen.
Huh?
That Miss Chen isn't completely useless.
At least he got some useful information from her.
Not bad, not bad. My Western food and coffee were not in vain. I finally got some of my money back.
Gu Qingcheng nodded, "General, I understand what you mean."
The only reason I got to know Mr. Felix was to have him act as an introducer.
The person Ma Yong really wanted to curry favor with was Mr. Bach.
"General, you should have heard me at the stables. I have an appointment with Mr. Bayer and Mr. Felix."
Gu Qingcheng said softly.
Ma Yong nodded quickly and said, "Yes, we will go to the horse farm tomorrow." He was also planning to go.
"Tomorrow at the races, I'll find a chance to connect you with Mr. Felix."
Gu Qingcheng finally gave a clear attitude.
"Yes! That's what I mean!"
Ma Yong laughed heartily, still looking carefree and innocent.
But then he added, "If I could treat Mr. Felix to a meal, haha, that would be even better!"
Chinese people have always had the habit of "talking business" at the dinner table.
Banquets and the like can indeed bring people closer together.
As a lady from an aristocratic family, Gu Qingcheng knew how to host banquets and entertain guests, which was a skill she had acquired since childhood.
only--
"Dinner is fine. General, how would you like to treat me, and on what occasion?"
Gu Qingcheng is familiar with ancient etiquette, but is not very proficient in Western etiquette of this era.
However, even if Gu Qingcheng learned it, if she were asked to host a banquet, she would still prefer the "Chinese style".
Firstly, this is something you are good at, so you cannot "play up your weaknesses and avoid your strengths";
Secondly, the ancient indigenous Gu Qingcheng could not say "what is national is also global".
