35 -33: Paying Off Debts, Sister’s Shock_2
Suddenly, all the guests went crazy, and the number of reservations for that very night exceeded three hundred.
The price of five gold coins was expensive, but compared to the initial price of three hundred and ninety gold coins today, five gold coins was already a huge bargain, super cost-effective.
Considering the number of reservations, Ye Xiaomao’s clients could at least queue up until next year.
By this time, Lanling had already been completely surrounded by countless beauties and countless gold coins.
Yesterday, it was he who begged others to join the Tianshui City’s Top Nineteen Beauties for a mere fifty gold coins, but not a single person was willing to join.
Today, these ladies were desperately waving their gold coins and gold banknotes.
And it wasn’t just these ladies themselves, but also the proprietors of the brothels behind them, waving even larger gold banknotes, waiting for Suo Lun’s favor, hoping that after his golden touch, it would literally turn to gold.
Of the Tianshui City’s Top Nineteen Beauties, there were still eighteen spots remaining.
And these eighteen spots were no longer fifty gold coins; they had increased tenfold to five hundred gold coins each.
The ones paying were no longer these beauties, but the brothels behind them.
Together, the eighteen spots totaled a whopping nine thousand gold coins.
In the following few hours, Lanling entered an exceedingly difficult beauty selection phase.
Because, although the remaining eighteen spots might not have the sensational effect of Ye Xiaomao, they still needed to have a significant impact, otherwise, it would compromise his own brand.
Lanling’s selection principle was that the candidates didn’t necessarily have to be the most beautiful, but they definitely had to be the most distinctive and most suitable for packaging.
For instance, if you were a woman but looked androgynous with an attractive masculine charm, that could work too.
Or say, if your innocence was as pure as water, you could perfectly fit the Japanese pure, schoolgirl image.
In any case, you had to be distinctive and suitable for packaging.
From midnight to daylight, and then until evening again.
Finally, Lanling secured the remaining eighteen spots, fully accommodating the interests of the largest brothels in the city.
The other ladies who were not selected looked back at Lanling with immense sorrow and regret as they left Yuhua Pavilion, unable to help but turn back after every few steps they took.
Next, Lanling would write a booklet detailing how to package the remaining eighteen beauties, how to style them, what image each would portray, and what talents each should learn, and so on.
Then, this booklet would be handed over to Yi Manman.
From then on, Tianshui City’s Top Nineteen Beauties would introduce a new member each month.
One beauty a month, for a total of a year and a half, until all nineteen beauties had been featured.
In short, the launch of each member of Tianshui City’s Top Nineteen Beauties had to create a sensation and introduce a new fashion trend.
Following that, a true Art Committee would be established, and Yi Manman would become the real chairperson.
The packaging and promotion tasks would then all be entrusted to Yi Manman and the Art Committee.
As for Lanling himself, training in martial arts was even more important; inheriting the title and preserving Tianshui City Territory was the fundamental goal.
…
Finally, everything was over.
Almost at dusk, every brothel lady and Bao’er manager finished their meetings and left Yuhua Pavilion.
After toiling for more than ten hours, Lanling was almost too exhausted to stand, wishing he could just lie down on the ground and fall asleep right there.
However, he couldn’t do that because the deadline for debt repayment had come to its last moments.
Next, it was time to count the money.
Thick stacks of banknotes, each worth a hundred Gold Coins, amounted to well over a hundred pieces.
He had only intended to earn three thousand nine hundred Gold Coins, but he ended up making more than ten thousand.
Thus, Lanling carried a thick stack of banknotes and headed home.
Despite earning over ten thousand Gold Coins this time, he didn’t take all of it with him, only five thousand Gold Coins.
The remaining five thousand were left with Yi Manman as a fund for future activities of the Art Committee.
After all, marketing and promoting the remaining eighteen Beauties would cost a considerable sum.
Although Lanling created the Nineteen Beauties of the Royal City to repay debts, now that it had caused such a sensation, he decided to continue with the venture rather than treating it as a one-off deal.
…
In the evening, Lanling returned home, his face etched with exhaustion.
He saw Suo Ningbing with eyes red from crying and Ye Jingyu with a face of chilled anger.
“I’m sorry, Sister, I came back late.
Things didn’t go quite as expected,” Lanling said.
“It’s good that you’re back.
Why do you look so awful?” Suo Ningbing rushed up to him as soon as she saw him and said softly, “It’s okay if you didn’t raise the money.
We’ll think of another way.
The royal family surely wouldn’t force us to death.”
Lanling glanced over and noticed two creditors, one fat and one thin, already sitting there, looking at him with a smug, chilling smile as if they were hunters watching their prey at the moment before death.
Lanling found it odd.
Hadn’t the uproar caused by Ye Xiaomao in the Royal City reached these two whatsoever?
Otherwise, why would they still have such a complacent demeanor?
“These two creditors have been sitting at our house since early this morning, as if they were afraid we might run away,” Jingyu said coldly.
No wonder, Ye Xiaomao was all the rage last night, but nobody knew it was Suo Lun’s handiwork.
Today, those courtesans and Bao’er had been discussing business with Lanling till evening, so the news of Suo Lun being the mastermind behind the Nineteen Beauties of the Royal City hadn’t yet spread.
Therefore, the two creditors were still completely in the dark.
The Gold Shop owner spoke slowly, “Young Master Suo Lun, the time has come to repay your debts. freёwebnoѵel.com
Of course, if you can’t pay, it’s no matter, but then the two properties you mortgaged will belong to us.”
Lanling sneered, “You have some nerve, intending to bring us to our doom like this.”
The gambling house owner replied with a cold laugh, “Debt repayment is an eternal principle.
When it comes time to do you in, it will be Duke Zhi Ting, not us.”
Lanling said, “So you are certain that I cannot repay these three thousand nine hundred Gold Coins, right?”
The Gold Shop owner smiled wryly, the implication clear.
All the goldsmiths, silver houses, and the noble and wealthy families in the entire Royal City had already received a warning not to lend a single Gold Coin to the Suo family—it would be a miracle if Suo Lun could borrow any money at all.
Therefore, the Suo family was definitely unable to repay the debt.
They were as good as dead!
Then, to the utter shock of the two creditors, Lanling laid out the banknotes in front of them, one by one, and spoke slowly, “A total of four thousand three hundred Gold Coins, including the interest for you.”
After placing the thick stack of forty-three banknotes in front of them, Lanling said indifferently, “By the way, a word of advice—run as fast as you can.
By tomorrow, I plan to have your entire family killed.”
