Chapter 27 Banquet(1/2)
"reunion?"
"Well, sisters Lili, I, Qianqian... will go tomorrow, will you go?"
These people should be Qing'er's good friends. She often attended parties in the past, but this time, she focused on Aunt Qin and asked her for her opinion.
Seeing Qing'er's hopeful gaze, Aunt Qin said to Yixue: "Miss Yi, our Miss will go tomorrow."
After Yi Xue and others left, Aunt Qin specifically explained to Lu Chen: "It's not just for fun to let Qing'er go. You know, relationships are very important in the mall, and such gatherings are inevitable."
Because Aunt Qin and the others only have Lu Chen, the contractor, and in their current situation, they cannot recruit other contractors in a short period of time, so they both value Lu Chen very much.
Lu Chen did not know much about the matter in the mall, so he didn't ask much, just nodded and expressed his understanding.
It seems that Lu Chen is going to go tomorrow. Since he is participating in such an event, Qing'er also wants Lu Chen to support the venue. There is no way. Who said that Qing'er is the only one contractor now?
The villa where Qing'er is located is very large and the layout inside is very delicate. However, Lu Chen has always been not very concerned about the scenery, so he went directly into his room and meditated and practiced. When Qing'er and Aunt Qin arrived here, they were busy all the time, meeting all kinds of people and dealing with all kinds of things.
In his room, Lu Chen also kept shaking perception, so he knew that in one afternoon alone, Qing'er met dozens of people.
Usually, she is not that busy. There are managers in every place to deal with it, and she just controls the general direction.
But now things have changed. She can no longer be the same as before.
It was not until night that Aunt Qin came over and knocked on Lu Chen's door. She came over and did not come empty-handed, but held several small boxes.
"Sir, this is the treasured item you choose."
After opening the boxes and looking at them, Lu Chen nodded with satisfaction.
At that time, Qing'er took out a lot of her father's collection in despair, and Lu Chen was not polite, and he took all the useful things to him.
Lu Chen no longer chose the earth-based object this time, but chose many mining areas. Lu Chen had not given up on his liquid metal. After the Ring of Origin was upgraded, Lu Chen had always wanted to upgrade the liquid metal, but in addition to knowing that swallowing metal can improve it, Lu Chen didn't quite understand what kind of swallowing it can improve it.
After taking several mining areas into his hands, Aunt Qin did not leave immediately, but said: "Miss Yixue may not be simple to invite her tomorrow. She'd better be careful."
I originally thought it was just a scene, but I didn’t expect there was another situation, which made Lu Chen a little interested: “Can you tell me what the situation is specifically about?”
"There are not only ladies and the others who have passed tomorrow, but also some young men. Such gatherings are very common for ladies and the others, but tomorrow there is someone you should pay attention to, Yiping, who is Yixue's brother. But at the same time, he is also Miss Qing'er's fiancé."
"Since he is a fiancé, he shouldn't be unfavorable to your ladies. What else should I pay attention to?" Lu Chen was indeed puzzled this time.
"The engagement was made when I was a child, but when I grew up, Qing'er felt that she was not in harmony with Yiping, so she understood the matter of eliminating the engagement. Qing'er's father also agreed to this matter and mentioned it to the other side. However, before it was completely terminated, Qing'er's father left." When he said this, Aunt Qin sighed a little. Aunt Qin was always sad about Qing'er's father's death, which made Lu Chen feel that there were always some tricks between them.
Of course, Lu Chen would not say these things directly, and he remained silent. Lu Chen continued to Qin Aunt Qin's words and asked: "The Yiping on the opposite side is unwilling to terminate the engagement?"
When he said this, Lu Chen's tone was a little impatient, and he still needed to pay attention to such trivial matters.
"Yeah, I really don't want to." Seeing that Lu Chen didn't pay much attention, Aunt Qin said in a serious tone: "Sir, the situation is a bit special now. Usually, the relationship issues between the two of them are indeed not very important, but now they are different."
"Our family is an oriental family. Some families are more traditional, and some prefer boys over girls. Although the society is open now, there will be no concept of not allowing daughters to accept assets. If the lady has not integrated the inheritance left by her father and then married, the family will give her at most some dowry and will send her away."
"If Yiping works with Uncle Qing'er and Uncle, it will be easy for the lady to get married. This is something you must be careful about."
After listening to Aunt Qin's words, Lu Chen also reacted. He really didn't understand the affairs of the big family.
However, Lu Chen quickly thought of something: "Since that Yiping likes your lady, your lady's father also made a engagement at that time. I believe the Yi family opposite is also a wealthy family. Can they ask them to support your lady?"
Lu Chen has never paid much attention to Qing'er's affairs. All he cares about is the resources he can get.
Aunt Qin could also feel all this, but now no one except Lu Chen is willing to accept the employment of them. Therefore, Lu Chen's indifference must be endured.
"It is a big taboo in the family to let others interfere in their own family business. Even if it succeeds, the old man will drive Miss Qing'er out, so this is absolutely absolutely necessary."
From Aunt Qin's words, Lu Chen felt that he had made a fool of himself and didn't understand the family matters. Lu Chen no longer bothered: "What are you going to do tomorrow? Tell me directly. Do you need to kill him directly or crippled him?"
"Sir, we have no idea of making enemies with the Yi family. You just need to protect the lady and not let her do anything. I'm afraid they will use any deceitful means."
"I understand." As for what the method of making the desolate work is, Lu Chen can also think of it a little.
Seeing that Lu Chen had agreed, Aunt Qin stood up and prepared to leave.
In fact, Aunt Qin did not particularly refuse to marry Yiping. In her opinion, Qing'er always wants to get married, and although she will lose a lot of assets, she will not be too cold to marry the Yi family, the dowry in the family will not be too cold. Moreover, as long as the Yi family maintains a good relationship with the young lady's family, the young lady will not suffer any grievances in the middle.
If Yiping becomes the head of the Yi family, the position of the lady will also increase. In her own family, even if the lady receives all the assets of her father, she will not be able to participate in the competition for the head of the family. In this way, marrying Yiping is the best choice for the sake of profit.
However, the relationship was not forced, and the lady had no feelings for Yiping. She might not be happy to let her marry her. Under her strong opposition, Aunt Qin came over to convince Lu Chen.
But before Aunt Qin left, Lu Chen stopped her: "Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else?"
"Do you still remember the conditions I helped you? The eyes of the rock spider-worm mother and some special metals to collect them."
"Of course we know this, but the gentleman just came and did nothing. Is it a bit too much to ask for so many things?" When he said this, Aunt Qin was already suppressing her anger. She thought Lu Chen was extorting.
Lu Chen also felt the anger of Aunt Qin: "You misunderstood. Of course, I know that I have not made any contribution. It is inappropriate to ask for these things, but I didn't ask you to help me get it immediately. I just asked you to pay attention to the news. It would be not too much to use some channels to inquire about some news."
"It would be OK if I just asked for information. But the little woman was abrupt, so the teacher was considerate. I asked earlier that when the teacher made contributions, we would not be in a hurry." Seeing that Lu Chen didn't ask them to collect as soon as he opened his mouth, Aunt Qin was relieved and apologized to Lu Chen at the same time.
Looking at her leaving figure, Lu Chen was also thinking. After listening to Aunt Qin's words, Lu Chen also had some ideas and asked others to marry Qing'er. Lu Chen absolutely disagrees with her. Now she is helpless and just in control. She is married to others, but Lu Chen is no longer involved in their business.
However, these are still secondary, and everything is mainly about improving strength.
Entering his room, Lu Chen took out the eyes of the insect mother in the nightmare mark.
It is easy to have dangers in mining areas, and Lu Chen dare not use them, but in cities, large-scale battles cannot occur, which gives Lu Chen some security.
This gave Lu Chen the idea of using his eyes, and the most important thing was that he would not be able to use it.
After accepting Qing'er's employment, Lu Chen took the initiative to jump into the vortex of her fighting for family property. Although she was not afraid of the enemies behind Qing'er, she did not have enough strength. Lu Chen could only ensure her safety. She was a bit delusional to fight for the benefits.
Therefore, Lu Chen had to force himself to improve his strength.
"I originally wanted to find a safe place to improve, but now it seems that this may be gone. Opportunities are fleeting, and time doesn't wait for anyone. I hope that Qing'er's enemies are just temptations in the past few days and will not start a sudden attack."
As soon as Lu Chen came, Qing'er's enemy should be mainly tempted, and the situation of attacking should be very small, which gave Lu Chen time to deal with it.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen directly arranged a refining magic array, refining his eyes in the room, and after becoming a high-level contractor, the refining magic array can be drawn by using Lu Chen's blood, but Lu Chen does not need to find other materials.
Although Lu Chen was a little weak after the bloodletting, he sat in the refining town without any rest and started refining.
The moment the formation was opened, a vast and barbaric consciousness rushed into Lu Chen's mind, full of information about the survival of the mother of rock spider insects. Lu Chen was like a bystander watching the growth, feeding, and evolution of the rock spider.
During this process, the understanding of the rock spider about the earth was also spread to Lu Chen's mind, deepening Lu Chen's understanding of the earth.
It took Lu Chen a three-hour dilemma to completely refine his eyes, but after refining, Lu Chen became shocked.
It wasn't that something unexpected happened, but the refining process was too fast this time. When I was serializing Medusa's eyes, Lu Chen used several times more time than this.
While thinking in a daze, Lu Chen waited for the passage of time. After another three hours, Lu Chen's mind calmed down a little.
But Lu Chen did not continue to rest, but did it, took out an eye, and continued to refine it. Since there was not such a big problem, Lu Chen was preparing to refine his eyes more.
The eyes are just external objects on the body, and only by absorbing the perception inside is Lu Chen's own.
Time passed slowly during the refining process of Lu Chen. No one came to disturb Lu Chen for the whole day. It was not until the evening that Lu Chen rubbed his head and stopped.
Now Lu Chen has refined three eyes, and Lu Chen is still very satisfied with this speed, but correspondingly, Lu Chen's headache will last for a while, and it will take two or three hours to calm down.
As for the reason for the stop, Lu Chen has not forgotten what Aunt Qin said yesterday. He is going to accompany Qing'er to the party of those young men and ladies today.
However, before going, Lu Chen had a small conflict with Aunt Qin. Lu Chen had always been wearing a black robe, while Aunt Qin wanted Lu Chen to go in a formal outfit.
Finally, Lu Chen denied Aunt Qin's opinion, that her equipment could allow Lu Chen to fight at any time.
In this way, Lu Chen, wearing a black robe, went with Qing'er, dressed up in a dress. This time, Aunt Qin did not accompany her, but George went with a guard.
The original mercenary captain was also wearing a suit, but when he saw Lu Chen, he wanted to laugh. As an ordinary mercenary, now Qing'er's death soldier, he couldn't bargain like Lu Chen.
Four people, Lu Chen and Qing'er were sitting in the back, while George and another guard were driving in the front, and the difference in status between the two sides could be seen from here.
The journey was safe and sound. They soon stopped at the door of a luxurious hotel. On the way, Lu Chen was still observing the city's defense, but what surprised him was that the place where Qing'er and the others went was very few military guards, and it was not as he imagined that the army gathered.
Lu Chen did not hide this and told Qing'er directly: "There are very few soldiers here, was it the same before?"
Lu Chen's question made Qing'er stunned for a moment. Then she thought for a while and replied to Lu Chen with a little embarrassed look. "The people who come here to have fun are all children of aristocratic families, and some things are invisible. Therefore, the ones who choose a place with fewer troops."
Qing'er's answer made Lu Chen feel a little relieved. The special situation is not that there is no big problem if it has just happened now.
After the three of them went down, George and the other guarded outside, and Lu Chen followed Qing'er into the luxurious hotel.
There have been many people here. As soon as I entered here, many people greeted Qing'er, and Qing'er kept talking and laughing with others.
Lu Chen followed Qing'er like a mute, without saying a word.
Despite this, Lu Chen still attracted a lot of attention. There was no way, Lu Chen was wearing a black robe here too conspicuous.
The black robe, which is very common in the lower level areas, becomes prominent here.
Fortunately, before talking to others, Qing'er introduced Lu Chen: "This is my newly hired contractor."
The contractor is still famous in this real world, but no one takes the initiative to provoke Lu Chen without his eyes.
Listening to Qing'er talking to others made Lu Chen a little annoyed. It was all gossip or gossip, which Lu Chen was not worried at all.
Although Qing'er couldn't see Lu Chen's feeling, she seemed to understand Lu Chen's impatientness and took the initiative to say to Lu Chen: "If you don't like this atmosphere, you can go and have a rest."
"Where is your safety?" After all, after accepting the employment, he still had ambitions in his heart. Lu Chen was still very concerned about Qing'er's safety.
This made Qing'er smile: "I have nothing to do with it, at least there is no problem here. In our circle, unless it is publicly worried about death, we will not take action in public. Compared to violence, we are more accustomed to conspiracy, and assassination is the last resort."
With Qing'er's reminder, Lu Chen no longer followed Qing'er and found a corner to rest. However, Lu Chen's eyes were also paying attention to Qing'er and prevented her from leaving her sight.
Qing'er asked Lu Chen to leave after a few words. In addition to what she said made sense, Lu Chen also had his own ideas. He was a spiritual contractor, not a melee team.
