OK.
Whether it's ugly, annoying, or stupid is another matter, but: "It cost me money."
Qin Sheng pointed to the shoes and hem of her skirt that had been splashed with red wine, and said expressionlessly.
Although the dress and shoes weren't custom-made like Fu Jingheng's suit jacket, they were still the latest limited-edition haute couture from D brand. Moreover, because it was a last-minute need, Gu Yueming paid almost double the price to get them, so they were quite valuable.
Qin Sheng just couldn't understand it. These people, if they didn't like her, could try to get rid of her, but why did they all have to pick on these clothes and shoes? Did they have too much money to burn?
She wouldn't mind helping them calm down.
"It's just a dress and a pair of shoes, I'll pay for it, how much?!"
Ji Qingqing took out her bank card from her handbag, struck what she thought was a very imposing pose, and was about to hand it over when she looked up and saw the girl extending a slender white finger.
"Ten million."
Qin Sheng calmly doubled the price that Gu Yueming was paying.
Ji Qingqing's hand holding the bank card paused, and her beautiful face twisted involuntarily.
"How much?!" she asked incredulously, her voice so sharp it almost cracked.
Qin Sheng glanced at her and repeated, "Ten million."
Ji Qingqing laughed angrily: "Are your clothes and shoes made of gold or something? Everyone has worn haute couture before. You might as well just say you're trying to extort me!"
Qin Sheng said "Oh" and waved. The two security guards from before quickly ran up and stood on either side of Ji Qingqing.
Qin Sheng nodded: "Will you compensate me or not?"
It's blatantly clear: "Don't even think about leaving until you pay up."
Ji Qingqing: "!!!"
I never imagined he was such a timid and quiet person!
"Fine! Fine!" Ji Qingqing nodded vigorously, slammed the bank card in her hand heavily on the table, and said with a sneer, "Ten million it is, but let's see if you have the ability to take it!"
She pointed to the band not far away, raising her chin high: "You can choose any of the instruments over there. If you can beat me at any one of them, I'll pay you ten million!"
Qin Sheng's brows furrowed slightly.
Ji Qingqing saw this and her smile became even more smug: "You don't dare to do it, do you? If you don't have the ability, don't make such exorbitant demands!"
"I'm putting my words here today: if you win, I'll pay you; if you don't want to fight, then keep blocking my way if you dare, otherwise I'll sue your Qin family for illegal imprisonment as soon as we leave!"
Qin Sheng lifted her eyelids and asked for confirmation, "Ten million each?"
Ji Qingqing was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean, ten million for the same thing? I don't understand..."
She was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized what she was saying. She pointed incredulously at Qin Sheng, then at herself: "You want to compete with me in several things?"
Qin Sheng simply hummed in agreement: "Ten million each."
After all, wouldn't it be foolish not to make money when you can?
Qin Sheng thought she was quite smart.
Ji Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She was a graduate of the prestigious Tiandu Conservatory of Music, and had won the title of "Flower of Tianyin" for several consecutive years, making her an absolute star of the school.
Even now, she receives an overwhelming number of entertainment company invitations every year, like snowflakes. It's only because her elders don't allow her to appear in the entertainment industry that she's allowed to; otherwise, she would have been a new generation's queen of pop long ago!
And this is what she wants to do?!
Let's have a competition!
She would have hesitated more than with other things, but musical instruments… Ji Qingqing sneered.
Unless the music god "Mo Shang" personally takes the stage, she has absolutely no fear!
But even though I'm not afraid, there are some things that need to be made clear beforehand: "Let's get this straight, if you beat me, I'll give you ten million, but if you lose, you still have to give me ten million."
"Of course, except for the first one, consider it compensation for your dress and shoes."
His words clearly indicated that he considered himself the victor.
Qin Sheng's expression remained unchanged: "Okay."
Ji Qingqing couldn't suppress her smile any longer, as if she could already see tens of millions more in her account.
She glanced at the instruments on the band's side: piano, bass, violin, harp, saxophone, and guqin—six instruments in total.
Everything else is fine, but she only has a superficial understanding of the guqin.
She rolled her eyes and said in a deliberately generous manner, "Look, we're all wearing evening gowns today, and the costumes and props don't match the guqin. How about we don't play the guqin?"
Qin Sheng glanced at it, paused only briefly, and then agreed: "Okay."
Most of the pieces she plays outside are mainly played on the guqin, and if she were to perform them in public now, it would be easy for people to notice something amiss.
She finally managed to get rid of those people, but unexpectedly, she attracted them again.
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I won't play the saxophone either."
Mom said they are soft and sweet girls, and they wouldn't do strenuous work like playing the saxophone. They should ask their father for the ten million afterwards.
Ji Qingqing was unwilling in her heart, but she had already removed the guqin first, and now that Qin Sheng wanted to remove the saxophone, she couldn't object.
Oh well, I'll just let her off easy!
Ji Qingqing felt that she was a few years older and it wouldn't be right to bully the young girl too much, so she generously said, "You go first."
If she goes first, Qin Sheng probably won't even have the courage to pick up a musical instrument later.
As human beings, we should know when to stop. We can't make money off people and then make them question their existence.
Qin Sheng, who also felt it was wrong to bully others, shook her head: "You go first."
Ji Qingqing wanted to be modest, but looking at the girl's cold and calm face, a nameless anger suddenly rose in her heart, and she immediately said, "I'll go first!"
