What is he doing here?
The Blood Refinement Hall surnamed Lu was taken aback.
Before he could react, Sun Gui had already stood up and gone to greet him, immediately offering the big shot tea with a fawning smile on his face.
"My God of Wealth, what brings you here?"
"Whether it's family matters, national affairs, or world affairs, of course I should lend a hand."
Li Mo took the tea and took a sip.
What else could he be here for? To invest, of course!
How much return on investment is expected from this grand event hosted by the Great Yu?
Strangely enough, many of the beauties on the Hundred Flowers Ranking knew him.
"Oh? Then Hengtong Trading Firm won't get involved. Brother, just let us know if you need anything. We may not have money, but we can still help you if you need manpower."
Sun Gui decisively gave up.
Li Mo smiled and said to him, "Then I'll have to trouble Manager Sun. There really is a place where I need your help."
None of the wealthy businessmen present had ever witnessed such a scene.
Xiao Li is now a household name throughout the land.
However, most people only know him as a prodigy, a young genius, and someone who is truly lucky for his wife...
What does it mean that Sun Gui calls him the God of Wealth?
They quickly realized what it meant...
"Well, gentlemen, hosting the Hundred Flowers Festival is a major national event, so naturally it must be a grand and prosperous affair. This is no small matter, so please be prepared."
"My Money Gang will offer two million taels of silver!"
"The God of Wealth Bank, three million taels, and we'll take care of everything needed for the grand event!"
"The Greenwood is offering ten bottles of Seven-Pattern Spirit Pills, and several fairies who were unwilling to participate in the grand event are also willing to perform at the event in gratitude for the Greenwood Society's favor."
"Hengtong Trading Firm... well... we'll do whatever Brother Li says."
Sun Gui fiddled with his sunglasses, clearly quite pleased with them.
Upon hearing this, everyone was puzzled as to what Hengtong Trading Firm was up to, and they all looked at the young man beside Sun Gui.
The deer, holding a cup of tea, looked towards the stage.
The right to host the event must be firmly held in our hands, otherwise, many troubles will arise.
No matter how much the other party offers, he will...
Li Mo earnestly held up two fingers and made a V-sign.
"What does Young Hero Li mean by this?"
The Minister of Minister of Rites just exchanged glances with Representative Lu; it was a pre-selected person.
No matter how much Li Mo contributes, he can still...
"Double."
"Hmm? Whose double?"
"The three of them combined..."
"... Young Master Duo?"
This unique 'bidding conference' concluded unexpectedly quickly.
A Square of businessmen who usually boasted of their immense wealth and influence emerged somewhat dazed, never imagining that they could be so overwhelmed by money.
Doubling, and all three companies doubling at the same time—these words sound so unfamiliar and cold.
Of course, they weren't the only ones feeling their scalps tingle; Lu Ziqing, the Blood Refinement Hall and representative of the Greenwood, was also on edge.
When Li Mo's mountain of gold crashed to the ground, he knew that even with his connection to the Minister of Rites, there was nothing he could do to reverse the situation.
They gave us way too much.
Who the hell uses "seat" as the unit for gold?!
Aren't you afraid that spending gold will make it worthless?
At dusk, the Cloud-Stepping Tower on the banks of the Jinghe River was brightly lit.
Logically, after the Hidden Dragon Assembly ends, this place should be much quieter, with the Hidden Dragon prodigies who participated going home to their respective families.
But it's still unusually bustling.
"Hey, Brother Bai, Brother Cao, Brother Wu, aren't you guys going back to Yun Province?"
Xiao Qin was taken aback when he saw the Sword City swordsmen returning.
"I suddenly realized that the Imperial Capital has so many beautiful sights, yet I haven't seen them all, which is such a pity."
Wu Chushu, his hands behind his back.
Bai Jinghong clicked her tongue, speechless at him.
Cao Mu shook his head and said, "We were about to leave the city, but as soon as we got to the gate, Wu Chushu saw the notice and decided not to go any further."
What notice?
"A grand gathering of a hundred flowers".
"Eh? Then I'm not leaving either."
Murong Xiao silently put down his luggage, realizing that his weaknesses were still not fully addressed.
Of course, he wasn't alone.
Upon hearing the news of the Hundred Flowers Festival, young talents who were preparing to leave the Imperial Capital gradually reversed their cars into parking spaces and quietly returned to their seats.
At this moment, Li Mo returned, bringing Zhong Zhenyue with him.
She seems to be in a bad mood.
Sitting at the table, I gulped down several mouthfuls of tea, but still couldn't figure it out.
So, he invested in the Great Yu Dynasty and the Hundred Flowers Festival, right?
The system's investment feedback states...
[Congratulations, host! You have successfully invested in Song Baiyue, the Minister of Rites...]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully invested in the Vice Minister of Ministry of Rites...]
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully invested in the Minister of Revenue...]
Why are all the people in the investment feedback section the adults who were there earlier?
This question has kept Little Li silent until now.
It seems that relying on those adults to handle things is unreliable, yet he has now taken over the responsibility for the grand event...
You can only trust your own people.
"Brother Li, you're finally back! How about we don't go back to Purple Sun Prefecture yet?"
Xiao Qin looked utterly helpless.
He didn't really care; the main problem was that the teacher kept nagging in his ear.
Li Mo nodded and said, "Yes, I won't go back for now. There's still the Hundred Flowers Festival."
"Hehe, Brother Li... You already have Cold Fairy at home, why are you still thinking about the grand event?" Wu Chushu looked at him as if he were a heartless and unfaithful scumbag.
"It's a misunderstanding."
"Hmm? So you're staying here...?"
"I am the investor."
"???"
The table fell silent for a moment.
In an instant, the expressions of several people changed from astonishment to silence, and then from silence to obsequiousness.
So...
Brother Li, are you now the sugar daddy of all the beauties?
"Brother Li, you know me."
"I, Wu Chushu, uphold the highest principles of loyalty and righteousness; wherever Brother Li points, I will fight!"
"Please let me help you."
"I know you're very lucky in marriage, but the Hundred Flowers Ranking has over a hundred beauties, and I heard that more than eighty of them are gathered in the Imperial Capital. Even if you had all of them, you couldn't possibly enjoy them all by yourself!"
Besides Huang Donglai, Little Li's friends were all quite enthusiastic.
"Then come on, everyone!"
"Okay! We'll be brothers in our hearts!"
"I'll drink first! For that reason alone, Brother Li will always be my godfather!"
"Brother Li, we became friends through a misunderstanding... but from the very first meeting, I knew we were kindred spirits!"
In no time, even other prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking eagerly signed up.
The scene was too lively.
This attracted the attention of the Imperial Guards patrolling outside at night.
They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Little Li had simply raised his arm in a shout, without actually wearing a yellow robe.
Damn, I thought you were rebelling.
Seeing the enthusiastic response from the crowd, Little Li felt a surge of pride.
"Alright, then let's work together to make this grand flower festival a success, make it bigger and stronger, and create even greater glories!"
"It's just about arranging things perfectly for some stunning women, I'm a pro at it!"
After he finished speaking, he found himself suddenly silent.
The crowd, who had just been reacting enthusiastically, were now silent, looking at him with somewhat uneasy expressions.
To be precise, it was looking behind him.
Do you need my help?
A soft, eerie voice sounded from behind.
