The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3496 Searching

The scene was extremely awkward at one point, and one could hear everyone swallowing their saliva.

Of course, the most irritating sound was the sound of Li Menglong chewing food. He never gave up taking advantage.

  After all, we are negotiating a big deal. What's wrong with eating the fruit ordered by the other party?

"Is there a problem? How about I pay for the fruit separately?"

  Li Menglong reflected on himself for a moment and thought that maybe the problem lay with him?

He was only half right. He did have a problem, but it was definitely not these plates of fruit. Which good person would buy gold by the pound?

At least the manager on the other side had never seen this kind of person, so he couldn't help but confirm it again and again. Maybe he had heard it wrong?

"Why, can't you buy so much? I don't really understand. This is my first time buying this stuff."

Li Menglong spoke quite politely, but this politeness seemed more like showing off.

The first time he came to buy gold, he directly bought several kilograms. Does he dare to post this conversation online to see what comments the public will give?

It is estimated that Li Menglong will be drowned in saliva. Showing off wealth also requires means and methods, and he undoubtedly chose the worst one.

Fortunately, Xu Xian was still there, and she couldn't let Li Menglong really take action.

  Although she is the ultimate beneficiary, it is impossible for her to accept a gift of this magnitude, even if it comes from Li Menglong's kindness!

This is a matter of principle and there can be no change in the slightest!

Besides, gifts should be given in return. Now that she has received the gold from Li Menglong, what will Xu Xian give him next time? Will she give him a house directly?

A gift of this size is far beyond her ability to bear, so Li Menglong should stop joking here.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? Are you questioning my sincerity?" Li Menglong shook off Xu Xian's hand: "Just buy ten kilograms and pay now!"

Seeing that Li Menglong was about to do it for real, Xu Xian didn't know how to stop him for a moment. After all, the mouth was on Li Menglong's head. Was she supposed to speak for him?

However, their argument was interrupted by the manager on the opposite side, because now it was not a question of whether Li Menglong could pay, but that there was simply not enough gold available here.

And let alone today, it may not be possible to gather them in a short period of time. Of course, the premise is that Li Menglong has to take it out in physical form.

"Such a big bank can't even raise ten kilograms? You are not kidding me, right?" Li Menglong had enough reasons to express his doubt.

But the other party is also speechless. It is like a company's working capital, the gap between it and its real assets is far greater than ordinary people imagine.

Moreover, the main function of the bank is not to buy and sell gold, and Li Menglong is an individual. In short, his requirements are difficult to meet.

Now it was Xu Xian's turn to take action. She gestured to Li Menglong to go aside and eat fruit quietly, and she would be responsible for the subsequent negotiations.

In the end, Xu Xian chose 100-gram gold bars and bought ten at once.

  To be honest, the total price is not as scary as Xu Xian imagined. Maybe it’s because she doesn’t come into contact with it very often, or maybe her income is too high?

However, when the gold bars were taken out, Xu Xian quickly became addicted to them. No wonder so many people have liked this thing from ancient times to the present. It really has a unique beauty.

It’s not that Xu Xian hasn’t bought gold before. She also has a collection of various related jewelry, and each piece is exceptionally exquisite and intricate.

But although these gold bars in front of us are dull and simple, they have a kind of beauty that touches the heart.

Even when Xu Xian actually touched the real thing, her hands couldn't help but tremble. This shouldn't be considered too embarrassing for her, right?

Because it is a cooperative bank, the payment is relatively simple. Li Menglong only needs to make a phone call to the company's finance department.

Overall, it was a very pleasant shopping experience, both for Li Menglong who treated the guests and Xu Xian who received the gifts.

By the way, Li Menglong has given Xu Xian many gifts, but he never thought that the little girl's aesthetic taste was so direct.

This has pointed him in the right direction. Whenever he needs to give a gift in the future, he can just buy gold.

It's simple and saves trouble, and most importantly, it's enough to maintain its value. To put it bluntly, once Xu Xian goes bankrupt in the future, these gold bars secretly hidden will be enough for her to live on for a while.

Xu Xian doesn't know about Li Menglong's simple and crude idea yet. If she knew, she would definitely smile happily and encourage Li Menglong to give more gifts.

She is now playing with the gold bar in her hands. Normally, metal should only feel cold to the touch, but Xu Xian always feels warm in her hands and heart.

She even had the urge to keep the gold for herself, even if it was just to keep it for a few days.

  Xu Xian is "thinking about" the girls, and the girls haven't forgotten her!

It is said that under Yoona's strong pleading, the girls did designate a series of plans, the core purpose of which was to make Li Menglong die more completely.

Of course, these are all said to Yoona. They themselves don’t intend to take it too seriously. After all, it’s tiring to move.

So they waited for the end of get off work and dealt with it in front of Yoona, which was considered as fulfilling their responsibilities as sisters.

However, while they were waiting, they actually received some gossip that the second floor was already empty.

The specific source of the information was what Panny heard on the way to the bathroom, which was just casual chat among colleagues.

But Tiffany didn't take it as a joke. Besides, it was just one floor away. She could just run down and take a look.

The result naturally surprised her. How could she see anyone on the second floor? So did she remember the time wrong?

After confirming it several times, Panny finally concluded that it was Li Menglong who led the escape.

  In order to make it easier for him to leave quickly, he even let the entire second floor go off work with him. Wasn't his investment too great?

Tiffany even thought that this was not necessary at all. They were not that scary, right? Or did Lee Moon-ryong overestimate Yoona's status in their hearts?

In short, Panny quickly shared the news with the sisters upstairs. Everyone was at a loss for a moment and felt that this escape was extremely ridiculous.

They decided to find out the specific details first, such as when Li Menglong left and whether there was any hidden secret.

It would have been better if they didn't inquire. They soon learned that Li Menglong asked the company to pay money, and the amount was not small.

  Considering Li Menglong's past spending habits, this money was probably not spent on himself, so did he leave early just to choose gifts for them?

I have to say that this conclusion is in line with the girls' expectations. They even remained reserved for a while:

"It's totally unnecessary. We are all so familiar with each other, why are you still wasting money?" "It's good enough that you have the thought. Treating us to a meal is enough. Why buy gifts?"

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate if we didn't want it? Or should we give Li Menglong some face?"

The girls' performance was not just for themselves. After they said this, their colleagues around them were quite envious.

Although we still don’t know what Li Menglong bought, and we’re not even very optimistic about his vision, at least the price is here.

If someone spent so much money to prepare a surprise for them, they would be so touched that they would cry.

Fortunately, the girls' tear threshold is relatively high, and they were just being polite without thinking of refusing.

  At most, he was exempted from possible punishment. I believe Yoona wouldn't be able to find any fault with it, right?

The group of people returned home happily, feeling happy about having signed for the gifts, but it seemed they were still a little slow.

Li Menglong and Xu Xian have been back for quite some time. To be honest, the girls were a little surprised to see them at home.

After all, Li Menglong was theoretically seeking refuge. Even with the gifts as a buffer, wouldn't he be a little nervous?

  Now he is lying on the sofa quite comfortably. Is he trying to express something? Is he deciding that the gifts he picked are enough to please them?

After all, they are well-informed and it is difficult for them to be satisfied with ordinary gifts. Li Menglong had better have this expectation.

In fact, Li Menglong didn't want to come back, but he couldn't persuade Xu Xian. The little girl insisted that it was not safe to take the gold away and she had to return home to feel at ease.

Li Menglong tried to persuade Xu Xian for a long time, but she remained unmoved.

What else can he do now? Send Xu Xian back to Canada and then go out and wander around by himself?

If this is the end result, then why did he spend so much money to buy Xu Xian a gift, because is she pretty?

  In Li Menglong's opinion, all the gold belonged to Xu Xian. Even if he bought nine of them, was there any reason to share them with the other girls?

So now he has a mentality of giving up everything. Anyway, he weighs more than 100 pounds, so let the girls do whatever they want.

Originally, he thought they would be impatient to take action, but they were much more rational than Li Menglong imagined.

"Don't be in such a hurry to get up. Keep relaxing. Let's go upstairs and change clothes. It will take at least ten minutes. Should that be enough?"

Kim Taeyeon took the initiative to reveal their plan to Lee Moon-ryong, but why did she say this? Was it to make him think before taking action?

  But Li Menglong couldn’t figure out where this inexplicable kindness from them came from. Could it be that they appreciated his action of escaping early?

This is information asymmetry. The girls thought he was preparing a surprise downstairs. After all, the gift cost so much money, so Li Menglong's emotional value must be satisfied.

Even as they were changing clothes upstairs, they kept reminding each other that even if they were not particularly satisfied with the gifts, they should try to appear happy.

This is what smart women should do. After all, they are looking forward to the next similar event and must not let Li Menglong become discouraged.

After nearly twenty minutes of hesitation, the girls finally came down, but it seemed that there was no change on the first floor, including the place where Li Menglong was lying.

But the girls quickly convinced themselves: Li Menglong must have done this on purpose. Did he want them to find the gifts themselves?

This way of giving gifts is really unique, and the girls are already eager to try it.

However, before they start looking for her, they still need to confirm Xu Xian's location. Why haven't they seen the little girl since they came in?

"Who knows where he's hiding? You can look under the bed, in the closet, or maybe in the refrigerator?" Li Menglong answered irresponsibly.

These words were a clear hint to the girls that he had indeed hidden the gifts, and even Xu Xian was an "accomplice".

Fortunately, the room was not that big, so they were confident that they could find the gifts.

Then there was a carpet search. They either lay on the ground and looked around, or wrinkled their noses and kept sniffing the air. Some even took out thermal imaging cameras...

In short, the girls tried their best, but the results were not satisfactory. They did find some things, but they didn't look like gifts at all.

"Did you buy this imported milk powder? It's expired..."

The girls looked at the pile of rubbish on the ground and always felt that it was their work, but was just forgotten in some corner.

It seems that there is another possibility, that is, Li Menglong is completely unprepared and everything is just their wishful thinking.

Although this result is not what they want to see, they have to face the reality now. Is Li Menglong sure he is not looking for death?

Just when the girls were hesitating whether to fight to the death, Xu Xian, who was obsessed with the impact of gold, finally came to her senses.

She didn't hide on purpose. She squatted in the bathroom the whole time. She always felt that it was safest to watch the baby in such a place.

As a result, I saw this tense scene as soon as I came out. What is going on?

"You go ask him, we are blind to believe that he prepared gifts for us. We might as well believe that tomorrow is the end of the world!" the girls said angrily.

  Just one simple sentence made Xu Xian understand the current problem. It was also very easy to solve, just divide the gold, but why was she so hesitant?

Xu Xian thought that she was not a stingy person, and she had given expensive gifts to girls in the past. It seemed that the problem lay with the gold. This thing was poisonous and could alienate people’s feelings!

It shouldn't be difficult to choose between gold and girls, but Xu Xian was inexplicably hesitant.

  Xu Xian's "constipated" look actually aroused the girls' interest. This little girl has a secret, why doesn't she share it with the sisters? Does she think they are not worthy?

As the girls approached, Xu Xian subconsciously put her hands behind her back, but this action was more like a hint to the girls, pointing out the problem to them.

So they came over tacitly, some spoke directly to distract Xu Xian's attention, while others approached quietly from the side. With this kind of cooperation, Xu Xian's little trick was soon exposed in front of everyone.

"What is this? Why is it so dazzling..."
