C1415 The Cao Family Is Willing to Pay the Spirit Stones
This time, the source of the disaster had attracted Feng Ming's attention, making him feel very comfortable.
Originally, 100,000 Spirit Stone was not considered the cost of fine wine, but now, he only needed to pay 40,000 Spirit Stone.
Although the person who invited him was Cao Wenfeng, it was not as if he did not give out the Spirit Stone. Xue Yueqing should not care about such details.
Of course, he still had to tell Xue Yueqing in advance. Otherwise, anyone else would be angry.
If he said in advance that he could ask Xue Yueqing for help first, this matter might be over.
Chen Feng and Aa Qing could still say a few good words for him to calm Xue Yueqing down.
If they waited until the dinner time at night to let Xue Yueqing know that he dared to do this, no one would be able to save him when he got angry.
If Xue Yueqing turned around and left, not only would he waste the great opportunity, he would also make Xue Yueqing hate him.
Of course, Blue-robed Shopkeeper was also happy to see it happen. It would naturally be best if he could withdraw the money in advance and take less risks.
He had long guessed that Feng Ming, who acted as the host tonight, would be focusing on Xue Yueqing, but this was his mistake.
The person who would be the host this time was indeed Feng Ming. His goal was to fulfill his promise and apologize to Chen Feng.
As for Xue Yueqing, it was purely on a whim. They had come together.
So the one who was treating was Feng Ming. The focus was not Xue Yueqing, but Chen Feng.
Of course, Feng Ming took Xue Yueqing as his guest. After all, in his heart, Xue Yueqing's status was much higher than Chen Feng's.
Even if he knew that Chen Feng's true identity was much higher than Xue Yueqing's, he would not be able to change this fact.
At least on the surface, Xue Yueqing's identity was more valuable than Chen Feng's. Chen Feng definitely would not reveal his identity and steal Xue Yueqing's limelight.
Of course, these two people would come, so it was not important who was the host and who was the second guest.
Similarly, Cao Wenfeng did not expect that the host of this banquet would be Chen Feng.
Right now, he was happily gathering the elders of the Cao family and telling them about this banquet.
What else could the elders of the Cao family say?
The deposit had already been paid, was there still room for them to shrink back?
Only the identity of the Heyang City's City Lord could suppress their anger. Otherwise, if they spent hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone just to invite beautiful girls, they would be able to blow Cao Wenfeng's head off.
The amount of Spirit Stone stored in the Cao Family was not small, but it was not something Cao Wenfeng could use to chase after women.
If Xue Yueqing did not have the identity of the City Lord, then he would be a prodigal, the kind that could make the ancestors of the Cao family mad.
There was no way back now. Inviting Xue Yueqing to dinner could indeed bring practical benefits, and her reputation would definitely rise.
After tonight, the other families in Heyang City would definitely not dare to look down on the Cao Family anymore. It would save them a lot of trouble.
So, let's gather the Spirit Stone.
There were a hundred thousand Spirit Stone in the feast, and fifty thousand of them were the deposit. Adding the forty thousand Spirit Stone that Feng Ming used to buy wine, it should be enough. However, it was definitely not wrong to prepare more Spirit Stone.
Therefore, the elders of the Cao Family each took out a portion of the Spirit Stone and gathered a hundred thousand, handing it over to Cao Wenfeng.
The extra 50,000 Spirit Stone should be urgently used, so as to avoid not having enough Spirit Stone when paying the bill.
After all, in one night, who knew how many dishes and how much wine they would need to drink?1
After that, the Cao Family sent two elders to the Gourmet Pavilion with Cao Wenfeng.
However, they didn't intend to show their faces. After all, this was the half-way banquet. If the Cao family had too many guests, it would be easy for them to steal the spotlight.
Therefore, it was enough for Cao Wenfeng to represent the Cao family. As long as they could build a good relationship with Cao Wenfeng tonight, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
