Su Yu let out a helpless sigh.
He didn’t want to explain in too much detail either, but when he thought about it, if he didn’t make things clear on such a gossipy matter, this fellow famous for chatting would probably make it known to the whole school.
And then wouldn’t he be not far from the axe ending?
Best to just forget about Brother Cheng’s ending.
“Business?
That possibility does exist.
I remember that little girl really has been stirring things up outside the school lately, though she hasn’t really made any money, has she?
How did you come up with the idea of doing business with her?”
Xianyun widened her eyes.
Even if Su Yu’s words were true and he really wanted to make money, why partner with anyone but a business novice who hadn’t even achieved modest success?
Xianyun began to suspect her initial guess had been right.
Xianyun even boldly guessed: could it be he wanted to use money to lure Ningguang into doing some…
No!
As a teacher she must correct Su Yu’s mistake!
A forced melon is not sweet.
“So you think she isn’t cut out for business either, Teacher?
But you seem to have forgotten that not long ago I just finished an impossible task.”
Su Yu was somewhat surprised that Xianyun actually knew a fair bit about Ningguang’s situation outside the school, but once he thought of this academy, all the questions were easily solved.
Still, Su Yu was rather curious: since Ningguang’s activities weren’t a secret, had no one noticed her business talent?
But he only mulled it over for a moment before dropping it.
If someone had a discerning eye for talent, what would be left for him?
He’d just be told to go find somewhere cool to hang out.
“An impossible task, huh…
Not just cooking, but even business, you’re this confident?
These are two different fields.
Don’t go taking things for granted.”
Although Xianyun believed Su Yu had the possibility of creating miracles, one person shouldn’t be able to specialize in multiple skills, right?
Thinking so, Xianyun also began to kindly remind Su Yu.
Of course Xianyun wouldn’t know his true identity, nor would she know he had the potential to specialize in countless skills.
Of course, on the premise that the System properly exerted itself.
“It’s not that I’m confident in my business ability.
I’m…
never mind, how about a bet?
We bet that with my help, Ningguang will make a million in revenue this month. This story is hosted at g.com.
If I win the bet, I hope you can recommend Ganyu to work for me.
If I lose, I’ll be at your command, no bargaining, even if you lock me in a small black room and make me cook for you every day, that’s fine too.”
The reason he boldly included Ganyu in the bet was because she was just too appealing.
If he hadn’t walked in just now and caught Xianyun secretly peeking at Ganyu’s social media account, he would have forgotten about Ganyu.
To toil for thousands of years without complaint and without counting wages.
Where else could you find such an excellent workhorse, oh no, employee?
Ningguang plus Ganyu, tsk tsk tsk.
If the plan went smoothly, he could make money lying down in the future, and his career could flourish.
So in other words, could Xianyun be his greatest lucky star?
Not only did she draw out his task, she also acted as a matchmaker between him and Ningguang, even preparing the employee Ganyu for him.
From now on, whoever spoke ill of Xianyun, he’d fight them!
“Go on, go on!
Who wants to lock you in a small black room!
And one month’s time?
A million?
Are you sure it’s Mora and not game coins?
You know, although Academy City is wealthy enough and full of countless opportunities and resources, wanting to build something from scratch and earn a million in such a short time is almost impossible.”
“Only when it’s full of challenges and unknowns does a bet have value.”
Xianyun’s eyes gradually went from shock to calm, and she slowly said: “Alright, since you want to gift me a chance to order you around at will, I’ll accept it.
Of course it absolutely won’t be locking you in a small black room, you can rest assured on that point.”
But no sooner had Xianyun finished speaking than that subtle smile on her face surfaced, becoming more and more obvious, her slender jade hand lightly resting on Su Yu’s ear, as if the peace before her could be torn apart at any moment.
“So, you brat have already confirmed that Ganyu is my disciple?
What guts, daring to use my disciple as a bet!”
Xianyun’s words were somewhat fierce.
Just as Su Yu thought he was about to have his ear twisted, his expression already beginning to distort ahead of time, Xianyun’s tone became calm: “But although the matter of Ganyu being my disciple isn’t known to everyone, it’s indeed not much of a secret either.
It’s not strange that you know.
Even if I lose the bet, that proves your ability to judge people and Ningguang’s business ability are strong enough.
That way, even if my Ganyu goes to work for you, it wouldn’t be a bad place to go.”
“Ah, this child Ganyu, she’s good in every way, just a bit too earnest.
I wanted her to stay at the school to work, but she refused, saying she wants to go out and struggle in society.
But she’s just too naive, and has no social experience.
I’m really afraid she’ll suffer losses.
Oh right, let me tell you about the time Ganyu almost got scammed on her first job.”
Thinking of Ganyu, Xianyun’s hand movements also softened, and she began to knead Su Yu’s head like rolling walnuts, rubbing over and over.
Su Yu didn’t really mind Xianyun’s actions.
Compared to all this trivial stuff, he was more interested in Ganyu’s dark history.
If in the past someone asked Su Yu who was the best chatterbox in Academy City, Su Yu might have said the smooth and shrewd merchant Ningguang, or the wisdom-renowned Nahida, but now, Xianyun was the one everyone looked up to!
Once Xianyun started telling the story, the floodgates of her words opened, the words pouring out like floodwater from an opened gate, spoken at a rapid pace of 310 characters per minute.
In just a few minutes, the story of the fledgling newbie Ganyu nearly getting scammed was told.
“Phew, today’s chat was really enjoyable.
It’s getting late.
Let me look at the class schedule…
Mm, what a coincidence, Ningguang’s class has a cooking class this period.
I’ll just give their cooking teacher a day off, and you go substitute.”
“Thanks then.
By the way, I also want to report something, should be no problem, right?”
Hearing Xianyun’s words, Su Yu was just about to set off immediately, when he suddenly thought of the little interlude outside the door earlier, and with a smile on his face, he looked at Xianyun and said.
“Go on.”
Xianyun was clearly very interested in what Su Yu wanted to say.
Su Yu really had said quite a few remarkable things to her today.
One was confidently taking on Raiden Ei’s cooking instruction, and that one succeeded.
The second was the bet about making a million in a month and about her precious disciple.
And this third matter…
“Ah, I’ve always thought the teachers’ office should be a serious place, but when I came in just now, I heard a classmate gossiping behind someone’s back right outside the door.
As a teacher, shouldn’t you give them a reprimand?”
Knowing that Su Yu’s character wasn’t one to fabricate things from nothing, Xianyun understood his intent, and after a moment’s thought said: “By rights, I wouldn’t do something like you asking me to help you punish a certain person, but…
cough cough, one thing is one thing—gossiping…
it did happen, right?”
Seeing the smile on Xianyun’s face, Su Yu, putting on the look of “you and me, we have this kind of relationship,” lowered his voice and said: “Of course, and that person is Kaeya.”
“Mm, gossiping about a classmate behind their back, that’s not conducive to unity.
As for how to punish, what suggestions do you have?
Should we treat it seriously?”
“No need, no need.
For the punishment, just use the reason that he stepped into the classroom with his left foot tomorrow morning and make him stand as punishment.”
“And if he steps in with his right foot?”
“It’s just a matter of changing a word~”
The big one and the little one exchanged a glance, and then began to laugh.
There was no helping it.
He/she understood me too well!
