"Huh? What did you just say?!" Qin Wei asked, her initial surprise sharpening into intense focus. She placed down the complex political documents she was reviewing, her gaze fixed on Qin Li with a slight frown.
"I... I kind of told Sir Alex I have four extra invitations cards to the auction... when I don't have them, Sister," Qin Li confessed, the words tumbling out in a rush of anxiety and desperation.
"Please, you are the only one that can help me! I can't appear dishonest to a Fourth Order powerhouse who just showered me with wealth."
He quickly retrieved the heavy bag of gold Sunny had given him and placed it ceremoniously on the ground before Qin Wei's desk. "This here is 50,000 gold coins, Sir Alex gave it to me as a gift, just like that. So please, I don't want to be embarrassed tomorrow without any cards. Please! If you do this, I will do anything you ask, Sister." He pleaded, his vulnerability a deliberate tool to secure her help.
