Shen Mengyao, who had been scrutinizing Manager Zhao, was very satisfied with his response and couldn’t suppress a smile.
Turning her gaze back to Ye Ling, Shen Mengyao beamed and said, “See, even Old Zhao says so. Ye Ling, from now on, just call me Mengyao. Please don’t add ‘sister’ to it, or it makes me sound old.”
Ye Ling was a bit speechless at Shen Mengyao’s request.
Goodness!
I’m only eighteen, and you’re twenty, yet you don’t want me to call you ‘sister.’ Should I call you ‘little sister’ instead?
But seeing the slightly threatening look in her eyes, Ye Ling decisively said, “Mengyao.”
Ye Ling was here to do business, after all, and couldn’t afford to make things awkward.
It’s just a name, after all, nothing too serious.
Hearing this, Shen Mengyao’s face lit up with joy. “Yes, yes, just call me that from now on. That voice… sounds so nice.”
Who knows what Shen Mengyao was thinking, but she ended up speaking her mind again.
Ye Ling shook his head slightly, feeling a bit helpless. This senior of his really had no filter.
Then, Shen Mengyao finally got to the point. “Alright, Ye Ling, now take out the materials you want to sell. Rest assured, our purchasing prices are fair. To show our sincerity from Sky Universe Pavilion, we’ll buy all your materials at a ten percent premium. Manager Zhao will handle the extra ten percent.”
Hearing words identical to Manager Zhao’s earlier, Ye Ling even suspected they had planned this together.
However, seeing Manager Zhao’s bewildered expression, it was clear he had no idea how the young lady knew what he had just said.
Ye Ling had already agreed earlier, and there was no reason not to now.
He could argue with anything, but there was no need to argue with Federation credit points.
There would be many places in the future where Federation credit points would be needed, so Ye Ling was more than willing to earn a bit more.
“Thank you, Mengyao.”
Ye Ling’s face showed a gentle smile.
This sudden smile made Shen Mengyao blush, and she was momentarily stunned.
Then she murmured to herself, “That smile… is so unfair!”
Though her self-talk was quiet, in the silent meeting room, both Ye Ling and Manager Zhao heard it clearly.
Now, Ye Ling was sure of one thing: this young lady from the Shen family always unconsciously spoke her mind.
But was it necessary to react like this just because of a smile?
As for Manager Zhao, he lowered his head even more, not daring to say a word, fearing he might get caught in the crossfire.
Could it be that the young lady has taken a liking to Brother Ye?!
A bold thought crossed Manager Zhao’s mind.
Feeling he might be overthinking, Manager Zhao quickly shook his head to dismiss the strange idea.
He dared not meddle in the young lady’s affairs, nor did he want to know.
Seeing Shen Mengyao’s flushed and slightly dazed face, Ye Ling cleared his throat.
“Ahem!”
Shen Mengyao snapped back to reality, realizing she had been talking to herself, and her face turned even redder.
She swore she had never been like this before.
What was wrong with her? Why did she become so easily distracted in front of a junior she just met?
Ye Ling then pretended to take out items from his spatial ring.
Of course, these items were actually stored in the system space; the spatial ring was just for show.
“Clatter!”
A large pile of materials clattered onto the meeting room floor, startling Manager Zhao, who had been keeping his head down.
He quickly looked up and, seeing the massive pile of materials, almost fainted from shock.
Goodness!
To bring so many materials at once, and he’s just a new student.
Now, Manager Zhao suddenly wanted to slap himself.
Why did he have to mention a ten percent premium?!
What a jinx!
Thinking about how his credit points were about to fly away, Manager Zhao looked pained, but it was too late for regrets.
Shen Mengyao, who had been pondering her own issues, was stunned at the sight of the heap of materials on the floor.
She could tell that most of these materials were clearly of the Second Rank.
But how could Ye Ling, a newly enrolled student, have obtained so many Second Rank materials?
Could it be… that Ye Ling got them all from a Secret Realm?!
Did Ye Ling go to a Second Rank Secret Realm?!
Realizing this, Shen Mengyao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Ye Ling, as if he were some kind of exquisite treasure.
That blatant gaze made Ye Ling feel a bit overwhelmed.
