Chapter 580: Chapter 580: Regarding the Destination_1
Two hours later, all seven people who had been drinking were present.
The most outrageous one had tossed and turned for almost two hours.
But he was impressive in his own right, usually able to last an hour or so.
After making some comparisons, Li Qing realized that this cup of elixir had enhanced their sexual abilities by about an hour on their original basis, whether it was stamina or firmness, each aspect had reached its own limits.
In other words, even if they took more elixirs in the future, such limits would probably be hard to break.
Unless his physical fitness improved, his endurance would follow suit.
After discussing with Lü Zong, they decided to observe for a month.
These seven people were given paid leave to act as guinea pigs, playing around in this place every day.
There was no set time; whenever they wanted to do it, they could do it anytime, to see how long the effects of this cup of alcohol would last.
After settling this matter, Li Qing left the Lü Family Restaurant with a check for two million four hundred thousand.
It was Li Qing’s first time seeing a check, having no idea how to use it, and Lü Zong had to teach him before he understood.
He went to the bank to convert the check into a balance in his card, and then Li Qing called Qi Mengru to ask where she was.
"I’m looking at houses, do you want to come over and take a look?" Mengru said on the phone.
Li Qing vaguely remembered Mengru casually mentioning this at some time and was surprised that she had acted so quickly.
"Okay, send me the location!"
Following the location sent by Mengru, Li Qing rushed to a new residential area on the outskirts of the city, next to a villa area by the mountains and water.
As Li Qing rode his tricycle there, Mengru, in a long dress and windbreaker, was waiting by the roadside.
That slender figure, stunning face, standing by the road with the autumn leaves, was simply a beautifully picturesque scene.
Li Qing nearly couldn’t take his eyes off her.
Although he was already familiar with this woman’s body, from a distance, she was still breathtakingly beautiful.
That formidable presence still made her feel somewhat unapproachable.
"Sometimes I truly admire my own dumb luck." Li Qing chuckled self-deprecatingly.
How did he deserve to be surrounded by so many beauties?
If such a truth were to spread, there would probably be countless people who would want to beat him to death.
"Why did you suddenly think of looking at houses today?" Li Qing parked his tricycle by the road and asked with a smile.
"Winter is coming; it’s time to build a nest!" Mengru said with a beaming smile, linking arms with Li Qing.
"I think since I’ve decided, I might as well get it done sooner rather than later, and it’s not so convenient for me to keep living on campus."
Li Qing nodded, "Indeed, it’s not very convenient. Every time I go into the school, I have to give a pack of cigarettes."
"Why’s that?" Mengru asked in surprise.
"The gatekeeper uncle won’t let me in!" Li Qing said.
Mengru couldn’t help but smile, "I had forgotten about that. Our gatekeeper uncle, who has been incorruptible all his life, is no longer incorruptible, huh?"
"A pack of cigarettes to make things easier is no big deal," Li Qing said.
The two of them talked and laughed as they walked into the sales office.
"I’ve been looking at this property for a while now, and the villa area above is owned by the same boss, who used to visit my family quite often. If we decide to buy, we could probably get a pretty good discount." Mengru said with a laugh.
"Why not just buy a villa in the area above, I feel that place is really nice," Li Qing said.
He had no interest in high-rise buildings, the only place in Tongcheng he had liked after looking around was that villa district by the mountain and water.
"But that place is expensive, a set will cost at least a million, and it’s actually not very convenient," Qi Mengru said.
"If you are set on a villa, then I suggest we go a bit further and buy a manor."
Li Qing asked in surprise, "Are there manors in Tongcheng?"
"Yes, over at Shili Yi, a farmhouse manor," said Qi Mengru, "There are many farm resorts at Shili Yi, with great scenery and plenty of land, including ponds. Whatever type of house we want, we could build it ourselves later on."
"So it’s at Shili Yi," Li Qing mused with a nod.
The thought of that place suddenly had him intrigued.
He had heard of Shili Yi, which was a tourist spot in Tongcheng, with a wetland reserve not far away.
The place could truly boast of mountains, water, and scenery, making it a great spot for leisure and retirement.
Compared to Sanhe Town, where Li Qing’s home was, one was in the south and the other in the north; the distance was roughly the same.
However, due to the river flowing through Shili Yi, the difference in topography and scenery between the two sides was night and day.
"But if we move there, won’t commuting to work be inconvenient for you?" Li Qing asked.
"It’s about the same, less than thirty kilometers back and forth; it won’t take much time," Qi Mengru said.
Li Qing was feeling indecisive.
He was genuinely drawn to Shili Yi, but buying a manor there was not much different from building one in the village.
It was all the same, in the village.
Seeing Li Qing’s conflicted face, Qi Mengru laughed and said, "Are you reluctant to leave the village behind?"
"The main thing is I still have business in the village, and I can’t just abandon what I have going on the surface," Li Qing said.
Though selling Elixir had made him quite a fortune, it wasn’t something that could be publicized.
"What’s the problem? You just go and collect the medicine when it’s time!" Qi Mengru said with a laugh, "If we buy a manor at Shili Yi, we’re only moving our residence from the north to the south. And most importantly, you won’t have to worry about village gossip; you can live however you want."
"If it really comes to it, you can even buy two manors, one to live in, and the other to run something like a farm resort as a cover."
"Moreover, Shili Yi is bound to develop in the future; there has already been planning for that area."
"Let’s go, to Shili Yi!" Li Qing decisively made up his mind.
"Good!" Qi Mengru responded with a beaming smile.
She seemed to be very much in harmony with her husband in this moment.
Meanwhile, the three sales consultants who had eagerly approached earlier stared dumbfounded as Li Qing and Qi Mengru turned to leave.
"Did they... just come here to chat?"
"Stop looking, they definitely can’t afford it. Don’t listen to their bragging; that guy came on a trike."
"But the woman drove a luxury car."
"...Beautiful woman with a beast, probably the woman is rich."
"But that guy actually looks pretty handsome, and it seems like he’s not just a kept man either."
Just as the three sales consultants were gabbing away with each other about gossip, Li Qing and Qi Mengru suddenly returned.
