123: Nguyen Thi Trinh was also arranged to go to school
Tonight's entertainment was still to welcome Nguyen Thi Trinh's arrival, and everyone interacting and entertaining together would help her quickly integrate into the team.
They played poker for most of the night, starting with Vietnamese rules, with the girls taking turns as dealer, but as some of the players grew tired.
The card table began to lean towards dragon country currency's 'Fight the Landlord' rules. Taking advantage of his opponents' lack of focus, Li Qinghe frequently called 'Landlord'.
Playing alone against three others, this was a winner-takes-all rule, and Li Qinghe repeatedly succeeded.
By the end, the girls involved in the poker game were all confused, holding hands of cards and not knowing what to play. Only then did Li Qinghe let them off, and everyone quickly washed up and went to sleep...
"Brother, wake up for breakfast."
Li Qinghe sprang up at Nguyen Thi Linh's gentle call. Da Mi Fan, Two Rice Grains, and the new Rice Noodles had gotten up early to make breakfast.
Besides Rice Noodles and spring rolls, there were also crab cakes brought back from Xiangyang County, paired with the liver pâté they had brought.
A hearty breakfast was ready.
"A Ling, today you take A Trinh to register for a language training class at the university."
Before sitting down to eat, Li Qinghe gave each of the three girls 100 million vietnamese dong as pocket money.
Two neatly stacked piles of banknotes were placed in front of them. Nguyen Thi Linh and A Ying were already used to it, but Nguyen Thi Trinh's eyes widened.
Li Qinghe had given her family 200 million vietnamese dong, which she felt was an enormous sum she had never seen before.
She never expected that after following Li Qinghe, her pocket money alone would be 100 million at once. What was the 200 million given to her family then?
This once again refreshed Nguyen Thi Trinh's impression of Li Qinghe. It turned out her man was so rich.
As Nguyen Thi Trinh thought about it, her heart swelled with joy.
Her father, whose eyes were only on money, would surely never have imagined that the 200 million vietnamese dong he received for her was just pocket money for Li Qinghe.
Fortunately, her father didn't know Li Qinghe was this wealthy, otherwise he would surely have greedily demanded more money from Li Qinghe.
For Nguyen Thi Trinh, whose happiness was almost ruined by her father, even throwing this money into the water would be better than giving it to him.
Nguyen Thi Trinh carefully put the huge sum into her shoulder bag. It would come in handy today for paying tuition when she registered for the language training class at Hanoi University.
In a way, she could also be considered to have attended university.
However, Nguyen Thi Trinh was very open-minded about this. She had originally failed to get into university due to poor grades. Now, learning at a university from a different perspective could be considered fulfilling a dream.
Moreover, she was learning Chinese. After mastering it, she would be able to communicate smoothly with Li Qinghe in Chinese. This prospect filled Nguyen Thi Trinh with motivation.
A Ying's school was a bit further, so Li Qinghe urged everyone to eat breakfast quickly so Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh could go out with A Ying and travel part of the way together.
Under Li Qinghe's lead, the family quickly finished breakfast. The young women washed all the dishes and put them into the sterilizer.
Three small motorcycles of different colors drove onto the road one after another. The three beautiful girls made early morning commuters pause in surprise.
Standing downstairs, watching the three beautiful motorcycles carrying three beautiful girls leave, Li Qinghe returned to his studio and leisurely uploaded one of the Ao Dai 'electronic girlfriend' videos he had filmed in Nguyen Family Bay.
This time, he uploaded the video of Nguyen Thi Trinh. Although this girl wasn't as beautiful as Nguyen Thi Linh and A Ying, Li Qinghe still liked her for her clean and simple charm.
What he liked was that kind of cleanliness, not yet contaminated by the outside world.
Of course, her looks were not unpleasant, her figure was good, and coupled with that pure feeling, this was what Li Qinghe liked.
If both her looks and figure weren't up to par, no matter how pure she was, would Li Qinghe pay her any mind?
Looking at his account, which was just a dozen or so followers shy of 240,000, Li Qinghe no longer felt that urgency. He should be able to do another prize draw today.
Ever since he learned that even advertising on Kuaidou couldn't make his account gain followers quickly, he had steadily maintained his account's update frequency.
Anyway, his current daily income was already very ideal. Earning 240,000 a day was more profitable than some small companies. Over seven million dragon country currency a month – what more could he ask for?
Moreover, by continuously updating videos with the help of the future intelligent camera, he might hit a trend at some point and gain a million followers overnight.
Since he had future technology, even the computer editing work was saved, and Li Qinghe had more time for leisure.
When he was studying, Li Qinghe was also a gaming enthusiast, but in the few months he had been in Vietnam, he had been so busy that he hadn't had time to settle down and play a few games.
The computer setup in the entertainment room provided by the system was top-notch, capable of running any large game smoothly.
Li Qinghe first sent out a few messages, then downloaded PUBG on his computer, logged into the Vietnamese server, and plunged into battle with a random four-person squad.
Because of Li Qinghe's fluent Vietnamese, his teammates here didn't suspect he was a foreigner at all, and they cooperated very happily.
Just as Li Qinghe was dominating the game with his superhuman reaction speed, Vu Linh Huong's message came back.
The noblewoman knew Li Qinghe had gone to Nghe An, so when she woke up and saw Li Qinghe's message saying he brought back some local specialties for her, while local products from all over Vietnam weren't rare for someone of her status, this time it was a gift from Li Qinghe, making its meaning uniquely different.
She happily arranged to meet at a French restaurant in Hanoi.
As a former French colony, Hanoi had quite a few high-end French restaurants.
However, truly Michelin-starred ones were not that many.
Vu Linh Huong told Li Qinghe that there were only three Michelin one-star French restaurants in all of Hanoi, and the one they were meeting at today was the most representative.
After all, given the noblewoman's family background, she still had a great need for small romantic gestures.
Vu Linh Huong informed Li Qinghe that the French name of this restaurant was "Octagon Anise," a unique feature specially created by the chef and owner of this French restaurant.
Interestingly, this French restaurant was located in a small alley in Hoan Kiem District, full of a bustling, down-to-earth atmosphere.
Being in Hoan Kiem District meant it was very convenient for Li Qinghe to get there, while Vu Linh Huong would need to come from Ba Dinh District.
Their meeting time wasn't set too early, 11:30 AM, just right for lunch, and after a leisurely meal, it would be afternoon.
Li Qinghe saw that it was still early, so he continued to battle with his teammates on the computer, securing one victory after another.
Around 11 o'clock, Li Qinghe exited the game, returned to his room, and changed into a business-casual outfit.
Some restaurant environments had certain dress code requirements, so Li Qinghe didn't want to have to buy clothes nearby at the last minute.
He drove to the restaurant in just over ten minutes, arriving well before the agreed time.
Vu Linh Huong hadn't arrived yet, but Head Maid Hoang Dang Minh Thu was already there.
"Brother Qinghe, Lingxiang Jie will be here shortly."
Seeing Li Qinghe arrive, Hoang Dang Minh Thu, outwardly composed, joyfully stepped forward and quickly pulled out a chair for him to sit.
This was her only man, a master she had to serve well, both for his sake and her own.
Today, Hoang Dang Minh Thu was also dressed formally with a touch of casualness. A well-fitting long-sleeved dress beautifully accentuated her curves, and her slender, long legs conveyed endless allure as she moved.
