Chapter 513: Proposal

Gu Qingquan thought, fortunately she calmed down halfway and came back on her own.

Otherwise, this contrast makes her seem a little reckless.

Gu Qingquan coughed dryly, bypassed his original plan, and asked Si Linglong, "So what are you going to do?"

After a pause, he added, "How to collect the money from the... masses?"

Want to rob?

She can help.

She has a knife.

Si Linglong didn't know what Gu Qingquan was thinking behind his cold and sullen appearance, so she just said, "That's a good question. It's well known that the quickest way to raise money is to hold a charity auction."

"Auction?" Gu Qingquan had been obsessed with martial arts since he was young. He didn't pay much attention to the activities of the ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families, but he vaguely knew what an auction was.

Then Si Linglong said, "But I am a nobody now, so it is impossible for me to organize a charity auction on my own. I need Sister Quan to help me."

Gu Qingquan's expression was slightly solemn.

How can I help?

Tie them up one by one?

It's a little difficult, but he can do it.

"Okay, I'll help." Gu Qingquan responded very seriously.

Si Linglong didn't know that the help she was talking about was not the same as the help her sister Quan mentioned. Upon hearing this, she moved closer to Gu Qingquan in a rather servile manner, speaking in a sweet and obedient voice.

"Sister Quan, you are so nice."

A smile flashed across Gu Qingquan's cold face, and then he responded to Si Linglong seriously, "You are also very good."

After a pause, he remembered that she had complained about him calling her Guipin Zhaoyi, which was unfamiliar. After thinking for a while, he called her, "Linglong."

Si Linglong was stunned at first, but then she reacted and suddenly jumped up from the chair, her expression full of excitement and disbelief.

"Sister Quan, you called my name!"

[Ahhh, Sister Quan called me Linglong! ! ]

【It sounds really nice! 】

[Today I am calling her Linglong, but it is clearly Linglong sister. Although this name is a bit sticky, as long as it is my sister Quan who calls me, I can respond! ]

Gu Qingquan: …

No way, don't even think about it.

Si Linglong briefly told Gu Qingquan about her thoughts.

"To put it simply, this charity auction will invite not only the celebrities from the noble families in Yongjing, but also the wealthy merchants and their families in the city. However, I am just a small Zhaoyi, and I come from a merchant family. Many noble families may not be willing to pay attention to me. Sister Quan is different."

Si Linglong said, "You are the most senior person in the harem, and you come from a prominent family. If you take charge, it will definitely be more effective."

Si Linglong spoke truthfully, but Gu Qingquan felt uncomfortable hearing it.

She knew that many concubines from prominent families in the palace looked down on Linglong's background, but even so, the fact that she was the emperor's favorite was enough to make her surpass everyone else in the palace.

"I can help you draft invitations to those famous families, but since this is your idea, you should be in charge. I will not steal your credit and honor."

Gu Qingquan spoke seriously and earnestly. Si Linglong felt a little warm in her heart, but she smiled, "Nothing has been accomplished yet, how can you get credit and honor? I understand Sister Quan's intentions, but in this matter, who will host it is not the point. The point is to achieve the result we want first."

She can put her own things up for auction because no matter what her background is, as long as she is favored now, those people will be willing to spend a lot of money on these things, and her preferences will even be regarded as fashion in the market.

This is also why she was so confident in giving the recipe to Si Jinyu and even asked her to promote it as the same fine product used by the empress in the palace.

Because of the mystery coming from the palace, it has always attracted many common people.

But that’s all.

Si Linglong was not confident enough to think that just because A Yue liked her, everyone would respect her and respond to her calls. She did not have that qualification yet.

This is realistic, but it is also true.

Gu Qingquan looked at the smile in Si Linglong's eyes. Just as she said, she cared about the outcome of things, not the fame and fortune.

No, maybe it’s not that she doesn’t care. If she can get a good reputation, who would mind? It’s just that when the two cannot coexist, she chooses to get the result of this matter done.

Gu Qingquan did not continue to respond to her, but only looked at her deeply. After a while, he suddenly stood up and took her hand, "Compared to me, there is someone in the harem who is more suitable for this role."

Before Si Linglong could react, she was dragged out of Yuxiu Palace by her sister Quan.

Looking at the direction she was pulling him in, her delicate little face was full of complex expressions.

[I suddenly have a very bad feeling...]
