Gu Qiaoqiao's gaze swept around the room, finally landing on a Golden Jade Carving on the Duobao Pavilion on the west wall.
It was something she had given to Elder Luo a few years ago.
The design was very simple, in the shape of two mountain peaks, with a white jade in between the peaks that she carved into the shape of a waterfall.
Though she said it was a gift for Elder Luo, he transferred 200,000 yuan into her bank account at that time.
Gu Qiaoqiao accepted it happily, knowing in her heart that some things require equivalent value for them to be truly effective. In this world, anything that can protect you requires equal value to function properly.
To put it bluntly, if a person wants to eat apples, they must plant an apple tree. If you don't have an apple tree at home, you have to spend money to buy apples. In short, you need to pay equal value to get what you want.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
That's basically the principle.
