127: The driving force behind career ambition is actually threats

Currently, the platform's fan growth still seems to be maintaining a slight increase, seemingly not touching the platform's algorithm for traffic.

So, Li Qinghe hadn't encountered the treatment of drawing multiple prizes at once for a long time.

With only one lottery chance, Li Qinghe was still a little curious about the unknown.

After confirming in his mind, Li Qinghe sighed as he looked at the "I'm a Passerby" glasses that popped up in his mind; he had already received one before.

Now another one arrived. It seemed to have no effect.

On second thought, if he had more fans in the future...

If it reached the level of millions or tens of millions, his face and Nguyen Thi Linh's faces would all become familiar to the fans.

At that time, going out would become a nuisance.

Li Qinghe suddenly felt a bit wistful.

The moment he saw the glasses, he thought he had too many, but now, on second thought, he began to feel he had too few.

Human desires are just that complex and changeable.

Yesterday, he spent the entire day with Vu Linh Huong, and today, she had already flown to the neighboring country of China with Hanoi's foreign affairs delegation.

So, this morning belonged to Head Maid Hoang Dang Minh Thu.

Li Qinghe had already arranged to meet her at the villa in Tay Ho District that the system provided.

Because it was much farther from Cau Giay District than the house in Hoan Kiem District, Li Qinghe mostly still lived in the house by Hoan Kiem Lake.

Because yesterday, when Hoang Dang Minh Thu left, her little eyes held a hint of resentment.

Li Qinghe, keenly aware of this, intended to give her some compensation.

So today, he specifically arranged to meet at the villa in Tay Ho District, in a relatively unfamiliar environment, which could better stimulate the feelings between a couple.

Li Qinghe first went to Ba Dinh District to pick up Hoang Dang Minh Thu and then headed straight for Tay Ho District.

Upon seeing the simple European-style villa, Hoang Dang Minh Thu's eyes were already filled with smiles.

Li Qinghe took her on a tour of both floors, and it was evident that Hoang Dang Minh Thu was very pleased with the place.

She usually lived in an apartment near the beauty salon in Ba Dinh District.

Before following Li Qinghe, her life trajectory was very simple, basically from apartment to beauty salon, beauty salon to apartment, and going home once every few months.

After following Li Qinghe, her scope of activity expanded greatly.

In other words, Hoang Dang Minh Thu was much freer than before.

Today, Hoang Dang Minh Thu was clearly dressed up, with a fitted dark blue floral dress accentuating her beautiful figure.

A pair of 10-centimeter high heels made her already slender legs appear even longer and more alluring; at 1.67 meters, she didn't seem much shorter than Li Qinghe.

Hoang Dang Minh Thu

This was the second time Li Qinghe had taken her out.

She had also been to the villa of Vu Linh Huong's family.

Although it was more luxurious and spacious than the villa in front of them.

But for Hoang Dang Minh Thu, this villa made her feel more at ease, allowing her to feel her vibrant self.

She didn't need to observe one person's expression and then another's.

Because there was no one else here, she only needed to please Li Qinghe.

"Brother Qinghe, I miss you so much," Hoang Dang Minh Thu half-reclined on the European-style sofa in the living room, extending her hands towards Li Qinghe, her eyes already misty.

"Oh, then where exactly do you miss me?" Li Xinghe gently sat beside her, smiling warmly at her.

"Everywhere," Hoang Dang Minh Thu's hands, upon reaching Li Qinghe's shoulders, immediately hooked around his neck, pulling herself onto him.

Just as Li Xinghe was about to lean down, Hoang Dang Minh Thu quickly called for a pause.

"Brother Qinghe, wait for me, don't wrinkle my clothes."

Watching Hoang Dang Minh Thu meticulously fold her dress and place it neatly on one side of the sofa.

Li Qinghe merely watched her do all this with curiosity.

He wondered where Vu Linh Huong's family inherited their traditions from, raising a modern girl to be completely like an ancient Head Maid.

She was well-educated, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and proficient in beauty treatments and massage.

Anyone who saw her without knowing would surely think she was a young lady from a prominent family.

Because yesterday they only held hands and chatted.

So, today, Hoang Dang Minh Thu didn't say too many polite words.

She hung herself around Li Qinghe's neck and didn't come down again.

Li Qinghe also knew that Hoang Dang Minh Thu missed him quite intensely.

Very considerately, he first let Hoang Dang Minh Thu guess which Greek deity was painted on the ceiling.

Hoang Dang Minh Thu couldn't guess the answer no matter what, rolling her eyes at her own ignorance.

She planned to strengthen her studies and supplement her knowledge in various aspects after returning.

Li Qinghe saw that she hadn't guessed the answer and felt very sad, so he hugged her tightly.

However, he forgot that his physical fitness was five times that of an ordinary person, and this hug almost suffocated Hoang Dang Minh Thu.

To break free from Li Qinghe's suffocating embrace, Hoang Dang Minh Thu thrashed her feet on the sofa, almost getting cramps.

"Qing... Brother Qinghe, gen... gently, I'm almost out of breath."

Hearing Hoang Dang Minh Thu's breathless complaint, Li Qinghe suddenly released her.

After experiencing Li Qinghe's inhuman strength, Hoang Dang Minh Thu lay back on the sofa with a look of relief.

Lingering longing needed a strong remedy, and she now felt completely comfortable.

"Brother Qinghe, do you know? Mr. Wu was going to arrange for people to investigate you in China, but Lingxiang Jie blocked them all."

Upon hearing this, Li Qinghe realized that Vu Van Nghia was actually preparing to send people to investigate his family's situation, which was a bit excessive.

He seemed like a decent person when they met face-to-face, but he didn't expect the outwardly honest man to cause trouble behind his back; thankfully, Vu Linh Huong stopped him.

It seems he still needs to work hard on making videos to gain more fans and draw more causality weapons for self-defense, at least to prevent others from acting rashly.

What can make people not dare to act rashly is either ultimate power, wealth comparable to a nation, or mysterious abilities that inspire fear.

Li Qinghe currently had neither of the first two.

For the latter, Li Qinghe had already mastered a powerful causality weapon like "Draw a Circle and Curse You," but this thing couldn't be used lightly.

"Also, Mr. Wu asked me to bring this to you; it's the fee for filming the promotional short film at California Gym last time. Mr. Wu said not to worry, he has handled all other expenses, just accept it."

Hoang Dang Minh Thu got up and took a cash check from the bag she brought.

Li Qinghe took it and saw, good heavens, this powerful brother-in-law was quite generous.

The most he had earned from commercial orders was 2 billion vietnamese dong, but Vu Van Nghia gave him 7.5 billion vietnamese dong this time, nearly 2 million dragon country currency.

Indeed, money earned through legitimate channels feels righteous to spend. To give so much for a short film, does this money feel like an apology?

He'd have to ask Vu Linh Huong properly when she returned.

He remembered Vu Linh Huong saying that her family basically wouldn't accept benefits to avoid giving opponents a weakness to exploit.

Her family's wealth was earned through legitimate trade, finance, technology, and real estate.

Of course, it's understandable to use policies appropriately to earn more money; after all, if you don't earn this money, someone else will.

Compared to those who resell Vietnam's state assets, corruption and bribery are much better.

Yesterday, while boating on West Lake with Vu Linh Huong, the two had an in-depth discussion about some matters.

Li Qinghe then learned that Vu Linh Huong directly or indirectly owned five high-end beauty salons in Hanoi and represented seven or eight foreign high-end cosmetic brands in the three best shopping malls.

In other words, when people bought high-end cosmetics in Hanoi's major shopping malls, a portion of that money went to Vu Linh Huong.

And these were just the tip of the iceberg of the Wu Family in Vietnam, industries set up for the girls in the family to earn pocket money.

After an in-depth discussion with Hoang Dang Minh Thu, Li Qinghe took her, now neatly dressed again, to shoot an episode of "Charming Girlfriend in the Villa."

With the help of the future smart camera, Hoang Dang Minh Thu's clingy, almost stringy gaze was captured vividly.

He believed the old brothers would definitely like this kind of work.

Additionally, tonight he was taking three experienced drivers to Jiaopen Street to experience the charm of Vietnamese KTV. Li Qinghe, who was originally not too concerned, now became serious.

With the help of the future smart camera, he had to shoot an exhilarating experience video.
