Is that really necessary? Its your own family business, the guest that Director Zhao personally went to receive must be very important. If your actions result in them being unable to reach a deal, you wont be able to explain yourself to the clan master either, the woman in the blue dress advised.
Is that any of your concern? Zhao Manyan snapped.
Brother Zhao, lets go to the next cabin. Its not that bad either, Mo Fan advised him.
This is the one. Ask Zhao Youqian to discuss his business in the next cabin. Its not like Im here very often, I can pick whatever cabin I want. I dont really care if its the royal cabin, Im just displeased by your attitude. I can accept it if Zhao Youqian treats me like that, because hes my elder brother, but who do you think you are, asking me to leave? Zhao Manyan cursed her.
The mixed-blooded woman in the blue dress paled when she learned that Zhao Manyan was putting the blame on her. She did not argue with him further, but asked the rest of the staff to move the dishes to the next cabin.
Dont touch my delicious food and drinks, set some up in the next cabin yourself! Zhao Manyan frowned and snapped coldly when he saw the staff trying to move the tables and chairs away too.
The eyes of the mixed-blooded woman flickered with hate, yet she knew it was unwise to argue with Zhao Manyan again. Regardless of what happened, Zhao Manyan was still the second son of the Zhao Clans leader. As hired personnel, it did not matter if she was in the right, she would most likely be punished anyway!
Seeing the look in the womans eyes, Mo Fan grabbed a bunch of grapes and started shoving them into his mouth. He looked at Zhao Manyan curiously and asked, Do you have a grudge against her?
Grudge? Not really, I just dont like my brothers subordinates treating me like he did. If I dont teach them a lesson, they might even forget that my surname is Zhao too! Zhao Manyan spat.
I guess a fuerdai like you does have the right to act arrogantly, but I bet you always get beaten up by your father! Mo Fan chuckled.
That was before, at least Im a representative of the national team now. I no longer eat meals for free, do I? Zhao Manyan said.
No wonder a lazy man like you is surprisingly hardworking lately. If you werent on the national team, I bet you wouldnt even dare vent your frustration on the woman like that, Mo Fan snickered.
Isnt that true? I could endure it if they treated me like that in the past, since its true that I only know how to spend money and pick up chicks. I was up to no good them, but Im now an Advanced Mage, a member on the national team, a future pillar of the country, and a rising star! Perhaps my father would even consider me as his successor, and yet my brothers subordinates thought they could treat me like dirt!? Zhao Manyan huffed.
Whats that womans name? I can tell shes going to complain to your brother, Mo Fan said.
I have no idea, but every person that works for my brother is the same, they all lack a good memory, Zhao Manyan said.
Not long afterwards, Mo Fan heard footsteps walking on the rug outside the cabin. As Mo Fan was a Space Mage, he was fairly sensitive to even the slightest movements.
Judging from the footsteps, it was very likely that Zhao Youqian had received the important guest, and it seemed like the guest was actually a woman. Her footsteps were extremely light, like a noble cat walking past elegantly on the rug.
As Mo Fan expected, the two went into the next room. Mo Fan could vaguely sense the woman in the blue dress whispering something into Zhao Youqians ear. Zhao Youqian hesitated for a moment, before following his guest into the next room.
The VIP guest did not stay too long in the room. She left after a brief conversation.
The woman did not let Zhao Youqian send her off. She left the room on her own, as if she was heading for some other place in the San Marco Auction Hall.
In the next room, Zhao Youqian flung his hand and knocked an ornamental teacup to the floor with a thud.
He hit the cup hard, and it almost smashed into pieces even though it had fallen on the rug.
The waitress felt her heart ache. The cup was worth a few hundred thousand, and it was almost broken!
Do you have the brain of a pig? You knew he came to mess with me, and you still didnt know to invite him into the next room politely? Zhao Youqian rose to his feet and scolded the woman in the blue dress.
I...I didnt know he was your brother, the woman admitted softly.
Youre stupid beyond belief! Even if you never met him in person, you should have seen his photos! Zhao Youqian cursed.
Ive failed you.
She decisively rejected my offer that quickly. I wonder who shes going to work with next, since she didnt agree to work with me. Hopefully its not that old fox Cario! Why is it so hard to read her mind!? Zhao Youqian mumbled to himself. He immediately fell silent as he started pondering about his guests attitude.
The woman in the blue dress was startled. She could not believe that a man who was on a tantrum just a second ago had immediately started to reflect on the meeting with his guest. The way he switched his focus was rather intimidating.
Zhao Manyan came into the room with a gloating grin. Brother, I can tell that you failed to reach a deal just by looking at your face.
Zhao Youqian lifted his gaze and glanced at the teacup on the ground. He instantly smiled, Who the hell knocked the cup onto the ground? Quick, pick it up, it doesnt look good. Oh Zhao Manyan, please dont stir up trouble whenever Im scheduled to meet with an important client. If you cross the line, Ill surely go tell father about it, and you wont be able to spend your allowance as you wish again.
The two rooms dont really differ that much, and judging from how she rejected you so quickly, I bet she never had the intention to work with you right from the beginning. She was just being polite by coming here in person and telling you her decision. It has nothing to do with me, so please dont put the blame on me. Besides, werent you supposed to prepare the room for me since I told you that I was coming over? Zhao Manyan shrugged with the same gloating look.
Fine, youre right that it has nothing to do with you, but since Ive failed to reach a deal, you wont be getting any benefits either. Im afraid the resources allocated to you next month will shrink greatly. Oh, leaving that aside, Ive read your texts. Youre asking for a Soul-grade Lightning Seed? Zhao Youqian said.
Yeah, hes looking for one, and hes the person that provided the Dark Swordmasters corpse, Zhao Manyan said, pointing at Mo Fan.
Zhao Youqian fixed his gaze on Mo Fan without showing any expression.
As a matter of fact, it was the first time that Zhao Youqian had really looked at Mo Fan.
Impressive, able to acquire something like it at your age... a Soul-grade Lightning Seed huh, Ill ask someone to look for one. Ill get it for you if I find it, but I have limited funds for the time being, youll have to transfer me the money first, Zhao Youqian said.
Screw you, do you really think I wont pay? Cant you just pay for it in advance? Zhao Manyan cursed.
You never know, Zhao Youqian chuckled.
Take it, Zhao Manyan shoved a card into Zhao Youqians hands roughly.
Zhao Youqian immediately checked the money inside the card and smacked his lips, Oh Zhao Manyan, when can you be like him and earn me eight hundred and fifty million?
I was born to spend money. I believe the rate that Im spending my money is going to put your ability to earn money to shame, Zhao Manyan replied.
By the way, I heard that youre taking part in the World College Tournament, everyone in Venice has been discussing it. As your brother, I havent been doing my job well looking after you. Ill find the best blacksmith in Venice to forge you a piece of defensive equipment, as a gift to wish you all the best in the tournament, Zhao Youqian said.
Dont worry about it if its only a piece of junk.
The master in Venice only accepts jobs with a hundred million as the minimum unit.
Oh, Ill gladly accept the gift of apology then.
You can think of it as a gift of apology for not treating you seriously. Do your best in the tournament, dont let the clan master think the money invested in you is nothing but a waste, Zhao Youqian said.
Who were you meeting just then? Zhao Manyan switched the topic.
A gorgeous lady, so beautiful that even a man like me is tempted.
Oh? Zhao Manyan raised his brows.
He was extremely familiar with his elder brother. The man had never shown any interest in women, nor was he was interested in men. The only thing that he was interested in was money, especially when a crazy large amount of it was being transferred into his account...
If a woman was beautiful enough to fascinate Zhao Youqian, she had to be a disastrous-level beauty. If Zhao Manyan had known beforehand, he would have waited at the entrance instead. Whenever Zhao Manyan was in a bad mood, he would feel a lot better after seeing a glamorous lady.
Whats her name? Mo Fan asked. A unique scent was lingering in the air in the room. Mo Fan felt it was oddly familiar.
Asharuiya, Zhao Youqian replied, not bothering to hide the identity of his client.
Oh, ok, Mo Fan said and sniffed again.
She is worthy to be my woman. A smile surfaced on Zhao Youqians face.
I can tell that she doesnt even want to talk to you, judging by your words, Zhao Manyan mocked him.
I cant help if thats what you think. Speaking of which, your habit of eating junk food hasnt changed at all. Look at all the girlfriends you had at school, Zhao Youqian replied mockingly, even though he sounded like an elder brother caring about his little brother.
The words immediately infuriated Zhao Manyan.
I heard someone mention to me that the girl from the Mu Clan is also on the national team. If you are really capable, just settle her so the two clans can unite through your marriage. We have the money, and the Mu Clan has the power. We could easily rise as a powerhouse back! Zhao Youqian said.
Are you referring to Mu Ningxue? Zhao Manyan was startled.
Mu Ningxue? Are you being serious? Even the Zhou Clan doesnt dare to take her, I forgot what the other girls name was...
Mu Tingying? Mo Fan hinted.
Yes, thats her; settle her, and youll be doing the clan a great favor even if you happen to embarrass yourself in the World College Tournament, Zhao Youqian told him.
I wouldnt want her, even if she volunteered! Zhao Manyan rejected instantly.
