“Did you know? On his first day at the Academy, he went into the Secret Realm all by himself and only came back today, after three days. You think his abilities aren’t impressive?”
Shen Mengyao was getting a bit worked up as she spoke.
Although Manager Zhao was just following the rules of the Sky Universe Pavilion, he ended up offending someone who might achieve great things in the future.
This was definitely not a good thing for the Sky Universe Pavilion.
Despite Shen Mengyao’s usual playful demeanor, she took matters concerning the Sky Universe Pavilion very seriously.
Because the Sky Universe Pavilion would be hers in the future.
Once Shen Mengyao graduated from the Vermilion Bird Academy, she could take over the Sky Universe Pavilion directly.
Though she hadn’t fully taken control of the Pavilion yet, she was very dedicated to her future enterprise.
“What? There really is a male student?!”
Manager Zhao looked distressed. How could he have imagined that Ye Ling was actually a student of the Vermilion Bird Academy?
Thinking about it, it made sense. Who would dare to casually forge the Vermilion Bird Academy’s badge? That would be asking for trouble.
It was mainly due to habitual thinking; the Vermilion Bird Academy never recruited male students, and this time they did. How could he have anticipated that?
When it came to business, Shen Mengyao was nothing like a Young Lady but more like a seasoned businesswoman.
With a cold expression, she looked at Manager Zhao and said sternly.
“Old Zhao, go and bring him back immediately. If you offend him and break our Pavilion’s rules because of this, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
As the Young Pavilion Master, she naturally had the authority to dismiss him.
Hearing that he might lose his job if he didn’t bring Ye Ling back, Manager Zhao broke out in a cold sweat.
He hurriedly replied.
“Yes, yes, Young Lady! I’ll bring him back right away and apologize!”
For the sake of his job, he had to act immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Zhao rushed downstairs to chase after Ye Ling.
Could he afford not to go?
His job was so good; if he lost it, where would he find such a good position again?
Moreover, after working hard for so many years to become a manager, losing his position over this would leave him with nowhere to cry.
Although he was a Spirit Tamer with Fourth Rank Sixth Level strength, his abilities were average, and he might never break through to the Fifth Rank in his lifetime.
In the Sacred City, Fourth Rank Spirit Tamers were everywhere. At his age, no place would prioritize hiring him.
With a bitter expression, Manager Zhao felt helpless, having to act according to a young girl’s whims.
But could he say anything? He couldn’t.
Saying anything would likely cost him his position today.
Seeing the flustered Manager Zhao, Shen Mengyao shook her head helplessly, licking the lollipop in her hand, and murmured to herself.
“This Manager Zhao, his perception is still lacking. He doesn’t pay enough attention to the surroundings. He might just remain a manager for life.”
Because of this incident, Manager Zhao’s position in the Sky Universe Pavilion was immediately limited.
Originally, Manager Zhao hoped to climb higher in the future, but judging by Shen Mengyao’s attitude now, there was no need to think about it anymore. It was over!
After leaving the second floor, Ye Ling reached the first floor, ready to leave directly.
Since they weren’t prepared to purchase his materials here, he would have to find another place.
After all, the Sacred City wasn’t the only place where Sky Universe Pavilion bought materials; he could always find another buyer.
“Wait! Please wait!”
Just as Ye Ling was about to step out the door, a familiar voice called out from behind.
Wasn’t this the voice of Manager Zhao who had just spoken to him?
Ye Ling thought Manager Zhao was talking to someone else, so he didn’t stop.
Seeing Ye Ling not slowing down at all, Manager Zhao called out again.
“Young man, please wait!”
Hearing this address, Ye Ling realized that he was indeed being called.
Stopping and turning around, Ye Ling looked expressionlessly at Manager Zhao, who was quickly approaching.
Having been treated dismissively just moments ago, Ye Ling wasn’t about to show him a friendly face now.
Seeing Ye Ling’s expression, Manager Zhao’s heart skipped a beat, and his heart rate slowed for a moment.
He knew he must have said something offensive earlier, and it would be strange if Ye Ling was friendly now.
Approaching with a sheepish smile, Manager Zhao rubbed his hands together and said apologetically.
“Young man, I was quite rude earlier. Please stay! Please stay!”
Being an old hand, Manager Zhao’s ability to read the room was exceptional, and he knew when to bend or stand firm.
After learning Ye Ling’s identity, even though Ye Ling was just a student, Manager Zhao dared not underestimate him in the slightest.
