"Although the dishes are the same, the grade of the restaurant is different, and the star rating of the chef is also different, so the price... naturally cannot be the same."
After exhaling a large puff of smoke, I replied meaningfully, "Actually, the principle behind this is just like the line of work you're in now!"
"You rent a civilian house in the suburbs for less than two hundred yuan a month, and you wear clothes from street stalls costing tens of yuan to meet clients..."
"The people you come into contact with, besides gamblers who are always hanging out in mahjong parlors, are only migrant workers."
"No matter how beautiful you are or how good your figure is, the market is what it is. If you want to raise prices, no one will come!"
"Compared to you, those women who stay in five-star hotels all year round, wearing hundreds or even thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan worth of high-end clothing to meet clients, who do they meet?"
"You charge five hundred for an overnight stay, they charge five thousand, and often there are extra tips!"
"What is the gap? This, is the gap!"
I paused, then continued, "As the saying goes, make the best use of everything!"
"Since heaven has given you a beautiful face, and you have chosen this profession, then why not think about jumping to a higher-level platform when you are meeting clients?"
Hearing my words, Qin Manli smiled.
However, it was a bitter smile.
"Heh heh! I want to as well! But is reality as easy as you say?"
"Even if I emptied my pockets to spruce myself up now, and then went to a five-star hotel to book a room, without reputation or fame, who would come to patronize me?"
Although Qin Manli's thought process was a bit peculiar, her mind was at least quite clear.
It seemed she had also considered breaking out, but ultimately couldn't due to various reasons.
Since Qin Manli had the desire to earn more money, after meeting me, all the factors that had previously troubled her would cease to exist!
However, I still decided to test her thoroughly first.
After all, in the upcoming plan to retaliate against Luo Qiwen and suppress Baoli Casino, Qin Manli's role was indispensable and irreplaceable.
If her character was questionable, I would have to find another way...
Just as I was thinking about how to test Qin Manli, I saw her eating and asking gossipily, "Handsome, what do you do for a living?"
"You spend tens of thousands of yuan at once, you must not be an ordinary person!"
"By the way, could you be a gigolo, planning to live off a rich woman long-term, or planning to marry her and asking me to deal with her husband?"
"Let me state in advance, meeting clients is meeting clients, but I don't do things that are morally corrupt and destroy families!"
"It's the client's business to seek me out to release their desires, and I won't actively seduce those who are married with children, even if they are rich!"
Hearing this, I was stunned.
It seemed Qin Manli had started to imagine my identity and background again.
Although I was angry that Qin Manli thought I was a gigolo, I secretly admired her words.
As I had predicted, Qin Manli was not the kind of woman who would do anything to earn more money.
Among the seafood merchants, she was considered relatively principled.
If she were someone who would do anything for money, then later, when I dressed her up and introduced her to wealthy bosses who spent money like water, she might betray and sell me out for money.
With that in mind, I directly and resolutely replied, "Don't worry! I will definitely not ask you to actively seduce married men!"
"As for my identity, if you agree to cooperate with me, I will tell you!"
"If you don't agree, then there's no need to know!"
Upon hearing this, after a moment of thought, Qin Manli suddenly nodded and said, "Okay, I agree!"
"As long as you don't ask me to actively seduce married men, and we stick to the original line of work, I'm willing to try being a socialite as you mentioned before!"
Seeing her nod in agreement, after extinguishing the cigarette butt in the ashtray, I lowered my voice and said, "Actually, I am a gambler."
"I need you to set up a game for me to cheat people."
"Moreover, most of the people I cheat are gamblers and addicts, the very kind of people you hate the most! Are you... in or out?"
Originally, when I revealed my identity, Qin Manli's eyes were filled with extreme astonishment, but...
When I mentioned the words gambler and addict, the astonishment in Qin Manli's eyes instantly vanished without a trace.
"Okay! I'm in!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Manli nodded with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Tell me your specific plan."
Pointing to the noisy crowd around us, I replied coldly, "I will tell you the plan, but definitely not now! Also..."
"Since you've agreed to cooperate, I think it's necessary to tell you some rules in advance."
"First, think of a fake name for me! Remember, from now on... the name Qin Manli will have nothing to do with you!"
"Things like mobile phones, ID cards, and bank cards will all be replaced. I'll cover the cost!"
"Second, when I'm not looking for you, don't try to contact me proactively!"
"Finally, no matter who you meet during our cooperation, you must not easily reveal my existence to them!"
"If I find out you can't control your mouth, our cooperation... will be terminated immediately!"
I expected that after I made these demands, with Qin Manli's thought process, she would at least question me endlessly.
But to my surprise, she didn't say a word and readily agreed. wap.kanshuwu.net
If Qin Manli was naturally a chatterbox who liked to get to the bottom of everything, then it would take some time to completely change this bad habit.
But now, it seems this experienced seafood merchant still has some sense in her head.
………………
After dinner, I took Qin Manli to the nearest luxury store – Dior.
The exaggerated arm tattoos, paired with the not-too-flashy clothes in the Dior store, plus her beautiful face, created a strong visual impact.
The saying "clothes make the man" is definitely not just empty talk.
When Qin Manli changed into a set of high-end attire from head to toe and walked up to me, this common hen... had truly transformed into a phoenix flying to a high branch!
The light-colored palace-style long dress, with floral prints and intricate tailoring, instantly elevated her entire demeanor when worn by Qin Manli.
However, clothing alone was not enough.
Next, Yang Liuqing would come into play...
