School flower's personal master

Chapter 13006

The Mo father and daughter had a moment of reverie and wanted to add a few more words of praise.

As a result, Zhao Gongming didn't even glance at them again, and strode quickly toward the main hall of the New Heavenly Palace.

Just then, Lin Yi led his men out the door to greet them, cupping his hands in a gesture of respect and saying, "Brother Zhao, your presence is an honor. We are sorry for not welcoming you sooner."

Mo Beibei chuckled to herself as she watched.

Even welcoming a distinguished figure like Elder Zhao requires a certain air of importance. It's said that people from smaller places have an inexplicable sense of pride, and this is certainly true.

How ridiculous!

The next second, she saw Zhao Gongming smile and cup his hands towards Lin Yi, saying, "Young Master Lin, I must thank you properly for this matter; I must thank you in person."

Upon hearing this, the Mo father and daughter stood frozen at the door, both looking completely bewildered.

Given Zhao Gongming's level, what could possibly require him to thank Lin Yi in person?

Lin Yi smiled and waved his hand: "Old Zhao, you're too kind. We're friends, there's no need to make such a fuss over something like this."

The Mo father and daughter were stunned for a moment.

friend?

You're friends with Zhao Gongming?

Given the size of my Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce, we can only be subservient to Elder Zhao Gongming and dare not even call ourselves friends. Where do you get your confidence?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming showed no displeasure whatsoever; instead, he laughed heartily and said, "Indeed, there's no need for friends to be so distant."

The two immediately entered the reception room side by side.

Watching the two figures walk away, Mo Beibei opened her mouth, then rubbed her eyes: "Impossible, right? Am I seeing things? How can Lin Yi be on equal footing with Elder Zhao?"

Arrogant people exist everywhere, and there are even more of them in smaller places, so she wasn't surprised.

The problem is that Zhao Gongming's behavior clearly shows that he fully agrees with this point. His words and actions make it seem as if he has already regarded Lin Yi as someone of the same level as himself.

This is unbelievable from any perspective.

Mr. Mo, standing to the side, swayed and almost fainted on the spot. His mind went completely blank, as if he had been hit on the head with a club.

"No, he probably doesn't have any real relationship with Elder Zhao..."

Boss Mo muttered to himself, "Elder Zhao is definitely just putting on a show, that's for sure!"

It's no wonder he was deceiving himself. If Lin Yi and Zhao Gongming's relationship was truly as it appeared, then his Mo Clan Chamber of Commerce would be in big trouble.

Boss Mo suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly instructed Mo Beibei: "Contact your family immediately and have them allocate sixty pieces of high-level divine equipment from the Chamber of Commerce's inventory and send them over as quickly as possible, do you hear me?"

Mo Beibei was taken aback: "Why? Didn't we agree to stall him a little longer? If he takes it from the Chamber of Commerce's inventory, my family's assessment will be ruined?"

Mr. Mo said with exasperation, "Regardless of the actual relationship between Lin Yi and Elder Zhao, the fact that Elder Zhao speaks to him like this in public shows that his influence is definitely not simple."

"We absolutely cannot afford to offend this person!"

Mo Beibei remained unconvinced: "Isn't it a bit too much, Dad? Aren't you overthinking things?"

Mr. Mo couldn't help but laugh in exasperation: "I hope I'm overthinking it. If so, we can get through this safely. Otherwise, our Mo family might be in big trouble."

Mo Beibei still looked unwilling.

For her, the family assessment was the most important thing, and she didn't want to lose any points no matter what.

Mr. Mo was so angry he wanted to curse. His face darkened as he said, "If things really develop in the worst direction, it's hard to say whether our Mo family can even survive. What's the point of talking about a family assessment?"

"..."

Mo Beibei was frightened by him and had no choice but to do as he said.

Boss Mo steadied himself, forced a fawning smile, and followed into the reception room.

At this moment, Lin Yi had already poured some spiritual tea for Zhao Gongming: "This is a local specialty of our Tianjun County. It can't compare to the top-grade spiritual tea from the Divine Realm, but it has a rare rustic charm. Please try it, Elder Zhao."

Zhao Gongming took a sip, his eyes lighting up: "Not bad, quite interesting. This tea is interesting. I can't have come here for nothing, you have to let me take some back with me."

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "It was prepared for Elder Zhao a long time ago."

Watching the interaction between the two, Boss Mo's heart sank even further.

Judging from their posture, the two are clearly old friends who have known each other for a long time.

He privately urged Mo Beibei, fearing that if it was too late to make amends, it would be too late to save the situation.

Zhao Gongming then asked, "I've already asked Jin Buhuan to book a private room for you at the Immortal Divine Gear auction the day after tomorrow. The location is pretty good. I'll have Jin Buhuan send you the invitation later."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhao."

Lin Yi shook his head with a wry smile: "But we probably won't need it."

Zhao Gongming asked curiously, "Why? Now is the perfect time for you to break through your limits, and the more immortal divine equipment you have, the better."

"If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll get another one."

"Listen to me, the number of Immortal Divine Armor is limited. We should try our best to fight for every piece we can, rather than letting it slip away."

Lin Yi said helplessly, "I understand the reasoning, but even a skilled cook can't cook without rice. I don't even have the most basic bargaining chips right now, so I really can't compete."

Zhao Gongming was somewhat taken aback: "Didn't Jin Buhuan mention before that you had a large batch of mid-level divine equipment that you were going to sell?"

At this point, he suddenly realized what he meant and turned to look at the embarrassed Boss Mo beside him: "What do you mean? What did I tell you before? Does my word not count?"

Boss Mo broke out in a cold sweat and quickly explained with a forced smile, "Elder Zhao, we prepared sixty pieces of high-level divine equipment for Brother Lin Yi to help him exchange for those one thousand one hundred pieces of mid-level divine equipment."

"The deal has been agreed upon, but it's still going through the formalities."

"But don't worry, the process will be completed quickly, and the sixty pieces of high-level divine equipment will arrive today, ensuring that it won't delay Brother Lin Yi's important matter."

Sixty items?

Zhao Gongming's tone changed: "I asked you to give me a good price, and this is the good price you're talking about? One thousand one hundred high-quality mid-level divine equipment, and you only gave me sixty high-level divine equipment. Even the market price alone wouldn't be this much, would it?"

At this moment, Zhang Baiyu added quietly, "It's not sixty pieces. Miss Mo initially said thirty pieces."

Mo Beibei happened to walk in and, seeing this scene, immediately sensed something was wrong. She quickly explained, "I was just saying that casually; I didn't really intend to buy it at that price..."

Zhao Gongming's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Knowing things were going badly, Boss Mo hurriedly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Where are those sixty pieces of high-level divine equipment I asked you to procure? Quickly, bring them out!"

Mo Beibei looked aggrieved: "The Chamber of Commerce just finished a transaction with a major client, and their inventory of high-level divine equipment is almost empty. They don't have sixty pieces at all, not even ten." (End of Chapter)
