Chapter 84: Manager Ma Ning!
Chapter 84: Manager Ma Ning!
Du Cheng felt his whole life shatter in front of his very own two eyes. He turned to look at his last hope, hoping that she would at least say something in his favor. The woman he had been trying so hard to chase must have seen how much effort he had put in order to chase her!!
From the corner of his eyes he saw that Zhu Lan looked at him as if he deserved this treatment. Seeing this Du Cheng felt his heart shatter at that moment and his eyes lost all hopes but then the manager spoke.
"This is the last chance I am giving you. If something like this happens again you would be fired."
The manager's words seemed to have touched his heart at that moment. He looked up and saw him looking at him indifferently but he did not mind. Feeling the pressure disappear, he got up and bowed to the man. The ray of hope he had been hoping for did not come from some girl but the old manager who gave him his job.
"I will never let something like this happen again." He spoke with conviction, after seeing that Zhu Lan did not care about him in the slightest, he felt his world change. Du Cheng made a decision to let go of those feelings and finally became a man.
'Zhu Lan can go to hell, because of her I was about to lose my job and destroy my life. She would not even be affected by that in the slightest but now that I have been given the second chance I won't waste it. I wonder what that boy's name is, he truly changed my life!'
Seeing the fire of determination in the eyes of Du Cheng, the manager was a little surprised but nodded and turned to look at Zhu Lan.
"Since you were the one who finalized the deal you can take 1% commission of the sale you have made." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Zhu Lan could not contain the smile on her face as she heard the news. 1% of the sale meant she would be getting 1,000 low grade spirit stones! To them even a 100 spirit stones was what they earned in a year. Now that she has earned a thousand spirit stones in a day, how can she not be happy? She already started daydreaming about how she would spend the money.
The rest of the workers looked at her with envy and greed in their eyes. She did not notice that the usual lovestruck gaze of a certain man changed to that of an indifferent one. Shao Heng shook his head seeing the reaction of the girl and the rest of the workers and turned to walk back up but then suddenly a voice stopped him in his tracks making him turn to look at its source.
"It's good that you are down here, Shao Heng. We need to talk!"
"Manager Ma Ning!"

[Few Moments Back]
*Creak*
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the woman sitting on a luxurious chair behind the table looked at the source of the sound. Her beautiful looking purple hair covering the side of her face swayed with the subtle movement of her body.
Under her watchful eyes, the old man, who was also the manager of this place until she came entered the room. She came here for inspection and also to find something that could make her boring life less dull.
"Did you call me, young miss?" Ma Ning asked respectfully as he stood in front of the woman. He tried to hide it but there was a trace of fear in the depths of his eyes. "Mhm~ Did you prepare a place for me to stay? I have been living here for a day but I want to have a personal courtyard with a good view." "Don't worry miss, I have saved the best house in the city just for you. It should be available, do you want me to grab the keys?"
Facing the query of the woman, the old man responded with pride and confidence. He received the information regarding her visit a week before she arrived and he decided to save a place for her to stay.
Since he could not use his force to have a house that belonged to the guild. He used his authority as the general manager to increase the price of the property. There was no special place allocated by the guild for the envoys of the main branch except a personal room inside the branch itself.
Just to be safe he decided to prepare a place for whoever was visiting, so that they won't have any inconvenience. He was sure no one in the right mind would buy such an expensive piece of land with no value for cultivation. He secretly praised himself for thinking of a genius idea.
He had not received any news about a fancy rich person or young master visiting the city so he did not think much and placed a random amount on the property.
"Good, You can bring the keys along with some decoration for the house." Hearing that he had already prepared a place for her, the seductive woman nodded in satisfaction. She suddenly thought of something and added.
" Leave the decorations! I will handle them myself."
'who knows what kind of taste this smelly old man has.. It would be better If I did that myself. How much I miss my maid~~'
She started complaining in her head, while the old man was a little confused but did not say anything and left the room.
After leaving the room he made his way towards their shop that sells the deeds to properties their branch owns. It did not take long before he was at the gate of the shop and heard some commotion coming from the inside of the building.
Being a cultivator he could hear some of the words of the man speaking inside from a distance, he realized that the person who was speaking was none other than the manager of the shop and hurriedly walked inside.
He heard him talking about the sale of a property and a bad feeling arose inside his heart. "It's good that you are down here, Shao Heng. We need to talk!"
"Manager Ma Ning?!"
