193: The most powerful way of persuasion

Li Qinghe's conditions were quite sincere. A Qian thought for a moment and then proposed a condition: "Then you have to add beauty filters for me and make me look pretty."

Such a condition was incredibly easy for Li Qinghe to fulfill.

It was so easy to achieve his goal. He didn't know if it was because of the ten million vietnamese dong, or because Li Qinghe was too handsome.

Ten million vietnamese dong is roughly 2,700 dragon country currency, which is about the average monthly salary for most ordinary people in Vietnam.

Although A Qian was relatively well-off, receiving a month's salary for an ordinary person still gave her a great sense of accomplishment.

So, she happily reached an agreement with Li Qinghe.

The woman who had just tried to buy the fish sauce for ten million vietnamese dong, seeing that the talking puppy was a lie, simply got up and left.

Several onlookers, seeing the situation, also turned and left. It was another day of being fooled by an internet celebrity.

Li Qinghe's mind raced, and the footage he had just shot was quickly edited and published directly on Kuaidou and TT.

Keeping his promise, he applied several levels of beauty filters for A Qian. The beauty filters from the future camera were much more natural than the effects from current popular apps.

Therefore, A Qian in the video was extremely beautiful, looking not quite like herself, yet with a noticeable resemblance upon closer inspection.

All other passersby were blurred by Li Qinghe with a cloud-like mosaic.

With the future camera, Li Qinghe essentially hired a world-class editor. He could shoot and edit on the fly, creating multiple different versions according to his own ideas.

By releasing this video, Li Qinghe had opened up another avenue. The combination of ventriloquism and vocal mimicry would undoubtedly be a trump card anywhere.

After exchanging Zalo numbers with A Qian and agreeing to meet for coffee sometime, Li Qinghe and A Qian shared a warm hug goodbye.

The two walked in different directions. Li Qinghe planned to shoot another short segment around Hoan Kiem Lake.

Although A Qian's happy dream was shattered, receiving ten million vietnamese dong and a handsome guy's Zalo number meant she hadn't lost out.

Li Qinghe spent the day shooting several segments around Hoan Kiem Lake.

One segment featured a vibrant young loli, who appeared to be a Vietnamese otaku.

Li Qinghe followed beside her, pretending to be the voice of a doll on her person.

This loli's initial reaction was identical to A Qian's.

She also threw the doll on the ground first, and then, under Li Qinghe's persuasion, curiously began to converse with the doll.

Every word and action was filled with the innocence and purity of a young girl.

Finally, when Li Qinghe felt he had enough footage, he stepped out and revealed the truth.

In the end, for the sake of ten million vietnamese dong—or rather, because Li Qinghe was quite handsome—the loli finally broke into a smile.

The world is just that unfair; high attractiveness often leads to being treated gently by others.

Just based on appearance, people will assume you are a good person.

Readers who wake up handsome every day must surely understand this point deeply.

At noon, while shooting a segment, Li Qinghe almost had an accident.

He was following a mother and daughter. The little girl, only two or three years old, was holding a balloon.

When Li Qinghe spoke, imitating the balloon's voice, he startled the little girl, who accidentally let go of the balloon.

As a result, the little girl cried inconsolably, insisting on having the 'talking balloon' back.

Fortunately, there was a balloon vendor nearby. Li Qinghe quickly bought an identical balloon and pretended to have found it by chance.

After speaking a few words to the little girl, he finally managed to calm her down.

After explaining to the parents that he was filming a video skit, the mother was initially very angry.

But she quickly softened her stance in the face of ten million vietnamese dong.

He subsequently shot several more video segments, and overall, the effect was still very good.

All unhappiness and displeasure were smoothed over by the ten million vietnamese dong.

Of course, Li Qinghe's own attractiveness and tall, muscular physique also played a significant role.

His high attractiveness made it easier for him to gain others' favor and closeness.

And his tall, muscular physique effectively suppressed the other party's anger, allowing them to calmly listen to Li Qinghe finish speaking and ultimately accept the ten million vietnamese dong payment.

So, money plus a strong physique equals the most powerful method—of course, this is in places where there is no truth.

Li Qinghe didn't know if his actions were disrupting the market.

Anyway, in Hanoi, he estimated he would only shoot this once.

Next time he went to Saigon to shoot, it would be more appropriate to prepare some valuable small gifts in advance.

For example, the Labubu blind boxes, which are very popular in Southeast Asia, Li Qinghe acquired a batch through legitimate second-hand platforms.

These items could be conveniently carried in a backpack and taken out.

All the blind boxes were sent to Hanoi by air freight, just in time for Li Qinghe's trip to Saigon. These were merely matters of spending a little more money, which was extremely easy for Li Qinghe.

However, Li Qinghe planned to find a partner after arriving in Saigon; otherwise, carrying a backpack by himself would immediately mark him as a foreigner.

Although with his physique and appearance, he clearly wasn't Vietnamese.

But he still tried to dress in a Vietnamese style as much as possible, which made it easier to blend into the crowd.

After finishing all the footage, Li Qinghe first went to Hanoi National University of Education.

Because A Ying's residence was close to Hanoi National University of Education, it was much easier to pack her things.

A Ying had quite a few belongings, but since she was only staying for a while, she didn't need to move everything.

This was because A Ying still had to go to the apartment to make lunch and take a nap during the midday break from classes.

With Li Qinghe's help, A Ying packed her things quite quickly.

While A Ying was packing her things, Nguyen Thi Linh and Nguyen Thi Trinh also rode their motorcycles back to the Hoan Kiem Lake house to pack their belongings.

When Li Qinghe helped A Ying move her belongings to the house on Van Dai Street, Nguyen Thi Linh and her friends had also finished packing.

Li Qinghe drove over directly to pick them up.

Both trips were for moving things, not people.

Because A Ying and Nguyen Thi Linh all had to ride their own small motorcycles over.

After all, Li Qinghe was only one person, and Hanoi University and Hanoi National University of Education were in two different directions.

It was impossible to attend to both at the same time.

So, it was more convenient for them to ride their own small motorcycles and set off separately.

That evening, at Li Qinghe's request, they had a lively hotpot meal in the new house.

Of course, everyone ended up slightly tipsy again.

Nguyen Thi Linh and the others had already grasped the basic rules of playing poker.

They could finally manage to play a somewhat back-and-forth game.

However, they had to concentrate fully on counting cards, which consumed a lot of energy.

The outcome was still the same.

After several days of such fully immersed and exhausting days, Li Qinghe was finally ready to depart for Saigon.

These past few days, Li Qinghe had spent quality time with Nguyen Thi Linh and the others in Hanoi.

He also drove the Wrangler from A Ying's apartment to the house on Van Dai Street.

The Mercedes G63 was also parked there.

Li Qinghe's plan was that once Nguyen Thi Linh and the others learned to drive, these two cars would be for them to practice with.

The day Li Qinghe left for Saigon was no different from usual.

It was just that Nguyen Thi Linh and her friends' posture while riding their motorcycles to school was a little awkward.

Li Qinghe took a Grab to Noi Bai Airport.

First, he picked up the blind boxes that had been air-freighted to the airport.

Hanoi to Saigon is about 1,000 kilometers, with a flight time of about an hour and a half.

Flights were very frequent, so Li Qinghe quickly set foot on the land of Saigon.
