Chapter 213 – Feng shui takes turns, little brother


No matter what Ye Ling is like now, since the Young Lady herself has spoken, Ye Ling's future achievements are bound to be significant.

 

At the same time, Ye Ling is the only male student in the history of Vermilion Bird Academy. Anyone with keen eyes can see that Ye Ling has a promising future.

 

Offending him now would only be making trouble for my own future, wouldn't it?

 

As an old hand, he clearly understood the stakes in this matter.

 

"Oh? Manager Zhao, what do you mean by that? You haven't offended me; it's just that I couldn't prove my identity."

 

At first, he gave me a cold shoulder, but now it's my turn.

 

Fortune turns, and this year it's my turn!

 

Faced with this retort, Manager Zhao was momentarily at a loss for words.

 

He knew that this situation was his own doing, so what could he say now?

 

With an awkward smile on his face, Manager Zhao could only apologize with a forced grin.

 

"Little brother, no, young man, my attitude was poor earlier. I apologize here and now; I failed to recognize a great person.

 

You see, as a magnanimous person, please don't hold it against me, a mere acquaintance. I truly didn't expect that Vermilion Bird Academy would recruit a male student this year.

 

I sincerely hope you won't mind. How about this: I'll increase the purchase price of your materials by ten percent. How does that sound?"

 

Apologies naturally require some sincerity, and he was willing to endure the pain of increasing the price by ten percent.

 

Of course, this extra ten percent in credit points would be deducted from his salary.

 

Thinking about the cost he had to bear made his heart ache.

 

However, compared to his current job, those credit points were nothing.

 

At worst, he could consider it as spending money to avoid disaster and keep his job.

 

Seeing the other party's sincere apology and the offer to purchase his materials at a ten percent premium, Ye Ling thought of the saying, "Only a fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal."

 

Since the other party was so earnest in his request, Ye Ling decided not to press the matter further.

 

After all, he was new here, and offending the Sky Universe Pavilion wouldn't be wise.

 

Thus, Ye Ling nodded expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Alright, seeing your sincerity, let's put this matter to rest. I don't want to pursue it further."

 

In the future, he would have business dealings with the Sky Universe Pavilion, so there was no need to strain the relationship.

 

Hearing that Ye Ling finally forgave him, Manager Zhao's previously anxious heart finally calmed down.

 

He had been wondering what he would do if Ye Ling didn't agree to his proposal. Wouldn't he lose his job?

 

Unexpectedly, Ye Ling didn't press the matter and accepted his apology.

 

With his job secure, Manager Zhao was naturally delighted.

 

"Great, great! Young man, please come this way. Let's continue our discussion and see what materials you have. I'll offer a fair price."

 

With that, Manager Zhao turned with a smile and headed toward the staircase leading to the hall.

 

Ye Ling didn't hesitate and followed him.

 

At this moment, Shen Mengyao had already arrived at the place where Ye Ling and Manager Zhao had been discussing.

 

She was curious about Ye Ling, the only male student at Vermilion Bird Academy.

 

What could have convinced Principal Vermilion Bird to allow Ye Ling to join the academy?

 

This was a question not only Shen Mengyao wanted to know but also all the students at Vermilion Bird Academy.

 

Throughout history, such a situation had never occurred, and Ye Ling was the only exception.

 

For such a legendary figure, Shen Mengyao was eager to meet him.

 

"Hehe! I wonder what kind of person Ye Ling is? He looks quite handsome, but I wonder about his temperament?"

 

Shen Mengyao murmured to herself while sucking on a lollipop, filled with anticipation for their upcoming meeting.

 

"Click!"

 

"Young man, this way, please."

 

At this moment, the door to the reception room suddenly opened, and Manager Zhao led Ye Ling back into the room.

 

As he opened the door, he saw the Young Lady sitting in the main seat.

 

"Young Lady! What are you doing here?"

 

Upon seeing Shen Mengyao, Manager Zhao's expression changed, and he immediately greeted her respectfully.

 

He knew that Shen Mengyao was already displeased with him due to the earlier incident.

 

Now that she appeared here, he naturally suspected that she might be here to give him trouble.

 

If she was, he could only endure it and hope not to lose his job.

 

"Well, come in first. I'll handle this young man's business. You just stand by."

 

Shen Mengyao waved her hand slightly, signaling Manager Zhao to step aside.

 

Hearing that the Young Lady wasn't here to trouble him, Manager Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

 

He quickly responded and stood to the side.

 

"Yes, yes!"

 

In the entire Sky Universe Pavilion, Shen Mengyao was like the sky, and no one dared to defy her orders.

 

Unless they didn't want to work here anymore, otherwise… they would follow orders obediently.
