The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 130
Chapter 130: Crushing People’s Heart
“What I want to do is to crush their hearts.” Wei Wei slowly looked up as a smiling expression brewed on her thin lips, just like a lovely demonic evil monster…
Phoenix Inn. In a private room on the second floor.
Cheng Xiong led Uncle Zhang upstairs. After seeing that crowd of people, he faced Murong Chang Feng and laughed. “Honored Mister, you’re also here. How are things, has Master Tu Lao been well? Is he still looking for that genius to become his disciple.”
“Master has always been healthy.” Murong Chang Feng’s voice was very flat. “As for other matters, I’m not too clear.”
Cheng Cheng blushed as she stood to one side, cutting into the conversation. “Daddy, it’s not like you don’t know how busy Lord Murong is, yet you’re still questioning him about these things.”
Cheng Xiong glanced at his daughter and understood her thoughts somewhat. Even though their Cheng family could be considered to have a position in the armaments world, to marry into the Murong Prince’s Mansion would still be a far reach on the social ladder.
That’s why he’s quite satisfied that his daughter could further her relationship with Lord Murong and didn’t ask about that matter anymore.
Instead, he continued with the matter at hand and redirected them towards Uncle Zhang. “This is Uncle Zhang, Profound Heavens’ manager. Their boss truly can be called outstanding. So young, yet has already created several tens of armaments. If Master Tu Lao saw this, he definitely would change his mind and not continue to look for whoever that genius was.”
Uncle Zhang stood by the side, neither servile nor overbearing. He possessed the qualities that a manager should have, neither too aggressive, nor too passive. After hearing Elder Cheng’s words, he merely smiled levelly.
“Has Uncle Cheng already met Profound Heavens’ boss?” Helian Jiao Er’s eyes shined. Reportedly, this boss’ whereabouts were a mystery and was extremely difficult to approach. Even what his name or first name was, no one knew. If it was possible to establish a link with Profound Heavens, then, to obtain any armament that she desired in the future, wouldn’t it be as easy as stretching out her hand and grabbing it.
Even if that slut had obtained the armament that Young Master Wu Shuang’s made, so what.
As before, that slut still couldn’t compare to her!
The more Helian Jiao Er thought about it, the more the smile on her face widened. She believed that when the time came, based on the Defense Division’s influence, Profound Heavens’ boss wouldn’t not give her face.
Right now, she only needed Uncle Cheng to help her make the referral…
Helian Jiao Er lifted her head and glanced over at Cheng Xiong.
Cheng Xiong stroked his beard and laughed imposingly. “I’ve already met her. A young girl who surprisingly has such an accomplishment will certainly have boundless prospects in the future.”
“A young girl?” Murong Chang Feng’s handsome face could be considered to be slightly agitated, and the hand holding his teacup faintly paused. “Profound Heavens’ boss is a young girl?”
Not only Murong Chang Feng, even the other aristocratic young men also showed an extremely surprised expression.
They knew Profound Heavens’ influence well.
In their minds, Profound Heavens’ boss must be a very high levelled elder, and at the minimum should be a great master.
However, they honestly couldn’t imagine that Profound Heavens’ boss, to their surprise, would be a young girl!
“Daddy, could that person be an imposter?”
Cheng Cheng’s tone of voice sounded somewhat sour. Originally, she quite worshiped the boss of Profound Heavens, just like how she worshiped Young Master Wu Shuang. However, when she heard that the boss was like her, a young girl, there was a kind of very subtle awareness in her heart. In addition, Lord Murong’s attention was completely snatched away, so Cheng Cheng became even more uneasy. That’s why she had this kind of prejudiced conjecture.
After Uncle Zhang heard this, his eyebrows jumped. “An imposter? According Miss Cheng’s words, then I’m also an imposter?”
“That’s not what I mean at all.” Cheng Cheng glanced at Uncle Zhang indifferently. She’d always looked down upon subordinates. He was but a manager. No matter how outstanding he was, he’s still just a servant. What’s he doing acting so arrogantly.
Cheng Xiong naturally knew his own daughter’s personality and was afraid that she’d offend Uncle Zhang, so he gently reprimanded her at once. “Cheng Er, stop being ill-mannered.”
“I…” Cheng Cheng stretched out her neck and was going to say something.
But was calmly interrupted by Uncle Zhang. “At Profound Heavens, our boss has always been the one in charge. Since Miss Cheng doubts our boss in this way, then in regards to our collaboration, it’s also no longer necessary to continue talks. Elder Cheng, I’ll withdraw first, then.”
“This!” Cheng Xiong couldn’t believe that the business transaction that he’d been working on for three whole days would, because of one or two verbal exchanges, all go down the drain. “Uncle Zhang, Cheng Er is still young. Whatever way she’s offended Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang can say it directly, but don’t, because of these trifles…not talk of working together anymore, all right?”
Uncle Zhang stopped his footsteps and pretended to hide his small smile as he responded. “What is Elder Zhang saying. Miss Cheng is the Cheng family’s treasured daughter and I am only a subordinate. How is there any offense to speak of. It’s just that my boss, this person, is a bit strange. She loves money, but with regards to people who has offended her, she will never work together with them.”
“Offended her?” Cheng Xiong didn’t understand when he heard that and slightly blanked out. “When did I offend her before?” He’d only chanced upon that young lass today.
Uncle Zhang didn’t speak again and instead glanced at Cheng Cheng quite meaningfully as his footsteps continued to depart.
Cheng Cheng wasn’t happy and rudely blocked his path. “I want to see if you dare to leave!”
Uncle Zhang looked up and smiled. “Miss Cheng, what are you planning to do? Threaten me?”
“Only the boss of an armament shop, and so cocky. Your boss doesn’t want to work with us, right? Then I will have the claws removed from the dog she raises and beat it properly!”
After saying that, Cheng Cheng then was going to call some people to come.
Uncle Zhang calmly and composedly glanced at Cheng Xiong. “Elder Cheng, before our boss left, she asked me to send you these words as a present. Cooperation between armament shops is voluntary. This is the rule that the Armament Guild’s Chairman Jing personally established. Everyone must not force or pressure the weak. Especially members of the Armament Guild, who should even more so not abuse their powers. Otherwise, they will forever be expelled from the world of armaments. You are the Vice-Chairman of the Armament Guild, you shouldn’t be unfamiliar with these regulations, right?”
After he finished speaking, Uncle Zhang couldn’t help but admire how his boss had already briefed him on what words to say before leaving. They’re practically the same as a needle that had seen blood, suppressing Cheng Xiong not only so that he didn’t dare to make things difficult for him, but even so that he must respectfully send him back!
Sure enough, Cheng Xiong immediately had Cheng Cheng dragged back, as fury flashed across his whole face. “Making trouble!”
“Daddy!” When had Cheng Cheng ever felt this suffocated or oppressed. Especially when in front of Lord Murong, this made her not have any face left. She was going to say something to redeem herself a little.
Yet Cheng Xiong fiercely gripped her wrist. “Shut up! This father really has spoiled you!” After saying that, he glanced at the servant girl standing by the side. “What are you doing blanking out, hurry up and take the lady away already!”
That servant girl panicked as she answered. “Yes.” and hurriedly went to pull Cheng Cheng. “My Lady.”
“Let me go!” Cheng Cheng’s unwilling voice was heard farther and farther away. “I actually want to ask that one with the last name Zhang. How capable is that boss of his that she won’t even establish an account with my daddy. He….”
