154: Connecting with Tingquan (Part 1)

Because Ting Quan sent a floating screen message, Li Youqian saw it at a glance.

As for driving and playing with a phone being unsafe?

Just kidding, this road is so wide and there are no cars, so it's not unsafe at all!

(Cough cough, playing with your phone while driving violates traffic rules! My benefactors, you must obey traffic rules.)

“No problem, Quan Ge, you can start streaming now, and I’ll connect with you later.”

[(46) Ting Quan Jianbao: “Just call me Ting Quan, I really don’t dare to be called Quan Ge!”]

[(46) Ting Quan Jianbao: “I’m starting the stream now!!”]

[(46) Ting Quan Jianbao gifted streamer - Im Really Rich a carnival * 1 * 2 * 3 .. * 334! (10,020,000 Douyin coins)]

[Congratulations to user - Ting Quan Jianbao for reaching level 57.]

[Oh, stingy Ting Quan is so generous today?]

[Nonsense, with this much traffic tonight, which streamer doesn't want a piece?]

[If it were a small streamer, they could easily gain millions of followers!]

[Even Ting Quan will gain at least 1,000,000 followers tonight.]

Other appraisal streamers saw this move and immediately regretted it, slapping their thighs.

Although the items tonight were definitely the most difficult high-end goods, the traffic they gained was truly satisfying!

Unfortunately, only the brave can enjoy the world first.

[(53) Gu Fang: “To be fair, President Qian’s manor is really big!”]

[(66) MARIO: “This isn’t even a manor anymore… This is already a town.”]

[(60) Yuncheng Oyster: “I believe that as long as I work hard selling oysters, one day, I will also be able to come here and be a security guard.”]

[(70) Abstain From Sex: “I’m very curious, how much do the service staff in President Qian’s house earn per month? Their attitude is too good.”]

[(75) Xiaoyao: “Isn’t that the truth? It’s like serving an emperor.”]

[Huh? Isn’t this Xiaoyao Ge, who used to be Douyin’s number one prankster?]

[Is Xiaoyao Ge back in action?]

[(75) Xiaoyao: “Hmm, I heard there was some fun here, so I came to check it out.”]

“Salary? Actually, it’s not much, 100,000 per month, paid fifteen times a year, and one month of annual leave.”

Li Youqian said calmly, as if stating something utterly ordinary.

He didn't mention his surprise when he first heard these conditions.

[What?! 100,000 a month? Fifteen salaries??]

[Holy cow, forget being a service staff, I’d be a dog!!]

[No, brothers… Forget it, I’m not pretending anymore, I’m willing to be President Qian’s mount!]

[With this job, even if it means living in a big villa and driving a sports car, I’d be willing!]

[Upstairs, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.]

“Hmm… our housekeepers do indeed live in villas.”

“All employee dormitories are three-story small villas.”

“As for transportation, while it’s not sports cars, things like Alphards and Mercedes-Benz business vans are standard grocery-getter vehicles.”

He learned these things while chatting with family members; the deeper he understood the family, the more unfathomable he found them to be.

In fact, what Li Youqian currently saw was just the tip of the iceberg of this colossal family.

“Young Master, turn left ahead and you’ll be there.”

Butler Fu had originally intended to drive, but Li Youqian directly vetoed it.

He hadn’t driven a concept car before, so he naturally wanted to have a thrill.

“Phew~ Finally here.”

Supercars are great in every way, except the seats are too hard, making them very uncomfortable to drive.

Looking at the Hall of Treasures before him, Li Youqian noticed that it was distinctly different from the modern buildings surrounding it.

It was like a pearl meticulously carved by time, exuding a rich ancient charm.

This was a typical ancient pavilion, with upturned eaves, intricate brackets, carved beams, and painted pillars; every detail showcased the exquisite craftsmanship and extraordinary wisdom of the ancients.

Getting closer, one could see that the pavilion’s doors and windows were made of fine wood and carved with exquisite patterns.

Above the main entrance was a plaque, on which three large characters were written in a flowing, powerful script - Hall of Treasures!

“Good day, Young Master, good day, Head Butler.”

The guards at the entrance immediately bowed in greeting when they saw Li Youqian and Butler Fu.

As for Nuo Yi and the others, Li Youqian didn’t need them to follow as long as he didn’t leave the manor.

Even if something unexpected happened, they could arrive instantly given their speed.

Upon entering the Hall of Treasures, Li Youqian didn't find any protective measures; the cultural relics and paintings were just openly displayed on shelves.

“Butler Fu, this is the Hall of Treasures, right??”

Li Youqian asked with some disbelief.

This isn't like in the movies! Shouldn't it be full of traps, where one wrong step leads to a gruesome death?

“That’s right, Young Master, this is the family’s Hall of Treasures.”

“Very few people can come here; they are all core members of the family.”

“Moreover, if an outsider could break in here, whether or not protective measures are installed would no longer matter.”

Butler Fu had one more thing he didn't say, which was that 1,000 tons of TNT explosives were buried beneath the manor.

If the family were to fall, everything in the manor would instantly turn to ashes, absolutely not benefiting any invaders.

It wasn’t that he wanted to hide it from Li Youqian, but Li Youqian was currently live-streaming, and 1,000 tons of TNT explosives were simply too astonishing.

The power of the “Little Boy” back then was only equivalent to 15,000 tons of TNT.

“Hello, President Qian.”

A few minutes after Li Youqian entered the Hall of Treasures, Ting Quan initiated the connection.

“Hello, Quan Ge, Quan Ge, help me take a look, what treasures are here.”

“If there’s anything you’re interested in, I can give you one.”

The Hall of Treasures has a total of 8 floors, and Li Youqian is currently on the first floor.

There are probably a few hundred cultural relics and antiques displayed here.

“Really, President Qian?!”

“Then I, your younger brother, thank you in advance.”

Although Ting Quan connected a bit late, he had been watching Li Youqian’s live stream on his phone the entire time.

Even with just a glimpse, Ting Quan could confirm that the treasures here were all extremely valuable.

“brothers, I won’t be playing any music tonight, alright?”

“There are no songs that can match tonight’s scene anymore.”

If he were to insist on playing music, then spring court snow would resonate throughout the entire night.

“Quan Ge, let’s look at the first item, which is also the only painting hung on the first floor.”

Li Youqian had already noticed those few paintings in the back; the reason he called them one item was because these paintings clearly looked like a set.

“Holy cow! This is Old Qi’s Twelve Landscape Screens!!”

When the camera zoomed in, Ting Quan’s eyes widened instantly.

“The brothers in the live stream might not understand its value.”

“Back then, at the Poly Autumn Auction, this work sold for a sky-high price of nearly one billion!”

Even those who don’t understand cultural relics know the great name of Qi Baishi, Old Qi.

Moreover, the fact that this work sold for a sky-high price of nearly one billion further proved its awesomeness.

[Holy cow, one billion??]

[Oh my goodness, how much is one billion?]

[Suddenly, I feel that President Qian’s spending on Douyin is still too restrained.]

[Isn’t that the truth? He probably just treats it as a first top-up.]
