"It's not impossible for me to sell you. I'll buy you! Just name a price, and we can negotiate."
Bai Lanxin's eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a smile.
When Shen Qiu heard Bai Lanxin's words, he coughed and said.
"Let's talk about borrowing money. Actually, there are places to get 100 billion Alliance Coins."
"Is it true? Where can I find it?"
Bai Lanxin looked at Shen Qiu curiously.
"It's in the Giant City we visited before. As long as it hasn't been cleared by others, it's fine. The only problem is that it's hard to get it back."
Shen Qiu said with some headache, although the gold is depreciating now, after all, the amount of gold in the Giant's treasury is there, as long as it can be moved back, not to mention hundreds of billions of Alliance coins, it would be easy to get tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of Alliance coins.
When Bai Lanxin heard Shen Qiu's words, she smiled silently and said to Shen Qiu.
"Okay, stop thinking about it, I was just joking with you. In fact, the 100 billion must be paid, but it can't be paid by just one person. Under the current circumstances, who can come up with so much money? It's not realistic at all. Therefore, the money was eventually raised by all administrative agencies, major companies, and philanthropists."
"All right."
After hearing Bai Lanxin say this, Shen Qiu didn't say anything more.
"Phew, that's enough. I'm full now. The throwing operation in Black Plains City is over. It's getting late. I should go back and rest."
Bai Lanxin looked at the time on her bracelet and it was already 2 a.m.
"Okay, I'll take you back then."
Shen Qiu said casually.
"You said it, okay!"
When Bai Lanxin heard Shen Qiu said he wanted to give her a gift, she agreed without saying a word. At the same time, she took out a bunch of keys from her pocket and threw them to Shen Qiu.
Shen Qiu took the key and said with a silent smile.
"That's really rude of you!"
"Why be so polite to you? My car is parked over there."
"Let's go."
Shen Qiu didn't say much.
The two walked towards the road ahead and could see a military off-road vehicle parked there in the distance.
"How do you drive this?"
"Why drive those fancy cars? Military off-road vehicles are the most useful now. If you end up in another world while driving them, you might still be able to drive them in a muddy field."
Bai Lanxin said this without any affectation.
"Too."
Shen Qiu nodded.
Not long after, Shen Qiu drove a military off-road vehicle and carried Bai Lanxin towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Bai Lanxin opened the car window, leaned against it, looked at the quiet street outside, and said with some emotion.
"It's been so long, but I'm still not used to the quiet night. It's too lonely. The bustling night scene in the past was better and more comfortable."
“It can’t be helped.”
Shen Qiu smiled and responded.
Gusts of cool wind blew over, ruffling Bai Lanxin's hair, and the two of them chatted intermittently.
…
In the study of the City Lord's Mansion in the City of Clear Sky.
City Lord Bai Shao just put away the document in his hand for approval.
He Yue brought over a cup of warm water and respectfully handed it to City Lord Bai Shao and said.
"City Lord, drink some water and go to bed early. It's very late now."
"Well, I know. Is the girl asleep? If not, give her this document and ask her to deal with it tomorrow morning."
City Lord Bai Shao took the warm water and handed the approved document to He Yue.
After He Yue took the document, he hesitated and replied.
"Miss Bai Lanxin is not at the mansion."
"Where has she been? She's running around everywhere right now, during a busy time."
"It seems like I'm going to meet a friend."
"Meeting friends late at night?"
When City Lord Bai Shao heard this, he frowned slightly, then raised his bracelet and made a video call to Bai Lanxin.
Soon the video call was connected, and Bai Lanxin was seen sitting in the passenger seat, her fair face flushed as she asked.
"Dad? What's going on?"
"It's so late at night, going out to drink. How can you be so rude?"
City Lord Bai Shao suddenly frowned.
"Here~"
Bai Lanxin then turned the camera towards Shen Qiu who was driving.
When Bai Shao saw this, he was also stunned and very surprised, then he hung up the phone.
"What happened to the city lord?"
He Yue asked doubtfully.
"It's okay, I'm going out for a while."
City Lord Bai Shao then stood up and walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
…
Not long after, at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
A military off-road vehicle stopped and Shen Qiu and Bai Lanxin got out.
"We're home now. Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
Bai Lanxin stretched and said to Shen Qiu.
"It's so late, no need."
Shen Qiu smiled and said.
"Yeah, it's so late, why don't you stay at my house tonight."
Bai Lanxin blinked at Shen Qiu and said with a smile.
"No need. I'm very particular about my bed. I'd better go back to sleep."
Just as Shen Qiu and Bai Lanxin exchanged a few words and were about to leave, they saw City Lord Bai Shao's private car drive over and stop in front of them.
Then City Lord Bai Shao opened the car door and got out, looking like he had just returned home. He spoke in a very unexpected tone.
"Mr. Shen Qiu?"
Shen Qiu turned his head and saw City Lord Bai Shao and greeted him quickly.
"City Lord Bai Shao, you're back so late!"
"There have been so many things going on recently. Why are you standing at the door? Don't you know how to invite Mr. Shen Qiu in to sit down? Where is the basic courtesy?"
Bai Shao turned around and scolded Bai Lanxin.
"Please! I've invited you, okay? I have to go home."
Bai Lanxin said helplessly.
"Mr. Shen Qiu, wouldn't you like to sit down for a while?"
"No, it's too late."
Shen Qiu responded awkwardly.
"How about this, I'll take you back."
City Lord Bai Shao said very positively.
"No, I can go back by myself. There's no need to trouble the city lord."
"How can that be possible? How about Bai Lanxin, can you send Shen Qiu back?"
"Ah? Me? I send him back? He just sent me back, okay? If I send him back again, am I not sick?"
Bai Lanxin immediately rolled her eyes.
"How do you talk?"
City Lord Bai Shao was immediately furious.
"Ahem, City Lord Bai Shao is indeed not suitable. I promised to send her back, she sent me back, and I sent her back again. This is a mess! I can go back by myself. There is really no need to go through so much trouble. I'll leave first."
Shen Qiu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He quickly said goodbye and ran away.
"Then take your time and come to my house when you have time."
City Lord Bai Shao hurriedly shouted at Shen Qiu's departing back.
"OK!"
Shen Qiu responded, and hurriedly quickened his pace to leave. He still didn't understand why City Lord Bai Shao was so enthusiastic about him. It wasn't like this before.
After seeing Shen Qiu walking away, Bai Lanxin turned her head and stared at City Lord Bai Shao and said.
"Hey, old man, what's going on here?"
"What's going on? Your friend is coming, what's wrong with me helping you take care of him?"
