Shi Huaiyu, annoyed, said, “It wasn’t us who provoked them. They were forcibly repairing Shi Yunxiang, and we were just stopping them.”

The administrator frowned and explained, “They saw that Shi Yunxiang is also of Yao descent, so they wanted to communicate. The customs of the Yao are different from ours, the Ren, so you need to learn to understand.”

“Moreover, there’s a reason for this incident. I asked them, and Tianyao University has a breeding tax, so they need to get pregnant and give birth regularly.”

“Several of their colleagues haven’t conceived yet, so they’re inevitably a bit anxious, which is why they pinned Shi Yunxiang to the ground.”

Seeing that Shi Huaiyu and the others still looked unconvinced, the administrator couldn’t help but say, “You students, don’t you understand the school’s difficulties? The cooperation with Tianyao University is something many leaders care about. If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility for it?”

Just then, a Yao on the side shouted, “This matter can’t just be let go. They physically assaulted someone, so there must be compensation.”

“Let that lion Yao come and serve us until we all get pregnant.”

As another conflict was about to erupt, a person walked slowly from outside the construction site, emitting a radiant glow.

On his head was the ranking of 13th in the Qi Refining Department and 44th in the entire school. Behind him were two military certificates.

All the Yao present froze at this sight, then fell into shock.

“Military Qi Refining Engineering Certificate! And Military Civil Engineering Certificate!”

“A Qi Refining noble with dual military certificates!”

“Such… such strong pressure!”

“Why would such a noble come to a construction site? Is he here to eat us?”

With continuous thumping sounds, one after another, the Yao immediately fell to the ground, exposing their bellies, expressing the highest submission to Zhang Yu.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yu thought to himself, “These guys from Tianyao University truly adapt better to the law of the jungle and are more utterly submissive to the strong than Wanfa University.”

The administrator on the side also had a solemn expression upon seeing this, and politely said, “Director Zhang, you’ve arrived?”

Just then, streaks of divine power swept through the air, and several patrol team members had already arrived.

The leading patrol team member was about to ask who called the patrol team here and who was fighting, but in the next instant, his gaze fixed on Zhang Yu.

“This… student Zhang Yu?” The patrol team member said politely, “Is there something going on here?”

Facing someone with dual military certificates and ranked in the top 50 in the entire school, unless the other party actively attacked him, even if they crippled all the students in front of him, he would still need superior permission to arrest them.

Zhang Yu waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. Thank you all for your hard work. Just leave this to us.”

After speaking, he scanned the students from Tianyao University and chuckled, “Right?”

Seeing Zhang Yu’s exposed teeth, the Yao all trembled. One of them said in terror, “Don’t eat me!”

The administrator, watching this scene, couldn’t help but say, “Director Zhang, these are students from Tianyao University. The superiors have instructed us not to provoke conflict…”

In his opinion, Zhang Yu was, after all, a company boss and a student who had transferred to the Qi Refining Department. What if his civil engineering employees suffered a bit of injustice? How could he possibly go against the school’s high-level policies and increase his company’s operational risks?

After all, what kind of boss would risk protecting employees?

However, Zhang Yu, under the administrator’s incredulous gaze, said indifferently, “My company’s employees cannot be bullied casually.”

The administrator’s heart sank, and he thought, “Damn it… what ‘company employees’? I think you’re probably discriminating against the Yao from Tianyao University, a Ren humanitarian.”

On the other side, listening to Zhang Yu’s words and looking at the tall dual certificates behind Zhang Yu, Shi Huaiyu, Ying Xin, Shi Yunxiang, and the others straightened their backs unconsciously at this moment, feeling a sense of gratitude and confidence.

Zhang Yu then looked at the numerous Yao and said, “Get out. If I find you provoking my company’s people again… I’ll eat all of you.”

The numerous Yao screamed in fright and scattered, holding their heads, disappearing from Zhang Yu’s sight in an instant.

The administrator sighed repeatedly at this scene, saying, “Director Zhang… Alas, why bother? It was just a small matter. What if they report it to Tianyao University’s teachers, causing inter-school disputes, and the school’s high-level blames us?”

Zhang Yu ignored the other party and looked at Ying Xin and the three others, saying, “Let’s have a quick meeting. We need to discuss the company’s future arrangements with you. Your workload might increase soon…”

Shi Huaiyu chuckled, “An increased workload is a good thing.”

Ying Xin on the side also nodded. As the company’s worker and accountant, she knew best how generous Zhang Yu had always been with money.

Especially when project payments were stuck several times before, Ying Xin knew that Zhang Yu had paid the wages out of his own pocket.

She believed that even if the workload increased, Zhang Yu would certainly not be stingy with overtime pay or raises.

Shi Yunxiang clenched his fist and said confidently, “It’s perfect. I’ve felt like I haven’t had enough work lately, and I have boundless energy.”

Since joining the company, through the potent medicines provided by Zhang Yu and Le Mulan, coupled with profound cold spiritual power, Shi Yunxiang felt his work efficiency greatly increase while the side effects of the medicines were also suppressed.

Combined with Xiao Qingxuan’s ancient medical treatment and Yu Xinghan’s massages, this multi-pronged approach… even allowed his physique to recuperate during this period. As a result, not only did his income increase, but his body also didn’t suffer wear and tear as in the past; it even became healthier than before.

Of course, Xiao Qingxuan, Yu Xinghan, and Le Mulan also earned a good amount of extra income in the process.

Xiao Qingxuan looked at his company colleagues in front of him. If it were in the past, he would never have dared to charge others for treatment, risking being caught by hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.

He had always treated outsiders for free, but because ancient medicine was generally not trusted, not many people were willing to accept his free treatment.

It wasn’t until after the battle with the Demonic Cult’s Golden Core that he met partners he could trust and charge for treatment.

“This is wrong…”

“We are going deeper and deeper down the path of illegality…”

Xiao Qingxuan told himself this repeatedly, but he always couldn’t help but enjoy the feeling of being in this group, enjoying the feeling of being able to confidently charge for services and build bonds through medical expenses.

“Old man…” Xiao Qingxuan rubbed his head and thought to himself, “The ancient thoughts you left behind really messed me up.”

Next, Zhang Yu arranged for everyone to cooperate with Tianri Huangshen in construction, vowing to fully unleash the earning potential of this Level 20 military-grade puppet.

And seeing Zhang Yu acquire dual certificates and introduce Tianri Huangshen, a military-grade force, to the company, everyone’s enthusiasm also greatly increased, just waiting to work hard and earn a lot of money.

Several days later.

Everything was calm.

Just when Zhang Yu thought that the group of Tianyao University students were not causing trouble, someone asked him about what had happened that day.

Only then did Zhang Yu realize that although those Tianyao University students no longer dared to clash with him, their teachers, upon learning of the incident, raised a fuss and even found a teacher from the Finance Department to complain about Zhang Yu.

Fu Ji said, “Heh, Tianyao University is now playing both sides. It’s probably full of Yao seeking opportunities for benefits, coming to Wanfa University to beg for handouts.”

Just as Zhang Yu was about to figure out a way to resolve the matter himself, he found that silently, the teachers and students of Tianyao stopped making trouble, as if they had been suppressed by a powerful force.

A day later, Zhang Yu learned that Bei Wufeng, the second-ranked person in the Qi Refining Department, had taken action, and the invisible force suppressing the Yao was called Lingbi.

Although he didn’t quite like Bei Wufeng’s method of bribery, Zhang Yu still thanked him.

Bei Wufeng: It’s just a small matter. I understand that you, junior, are young and promising and can’t stand these smelly monsters stirring things up in the university city.

Bei Wufeng: But the big picture is important. Now is a critical moment for the school to win over Tianyao. Any small conflict will become a bargaining chip for them and might cost the school more.

Bei Wufeng: Even if you discriminate against them, at least pretend a little, don’t be too obvious.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, “Does Bei Wufeng think I had a conflict with the Tianyao University students because I discriminate against the Yao? Although I don’t like oddly shaped monsters, when did I ever discriminate?”

“Forget it, discriminating against the Yao… is better than caring for employees.”

Zhang Yu understood that in a desolate place like Kunxu, the latter was far more noticeable and suspicious than the former, even making people wonder if he had joined some demonic cult.

Just then, Bei Wufeng sent another message: Junior, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you.

Bei Wufeng: Can I borrow your Tianri Huangshen?

Zhang Yu was slightly startled, thinking, “Borrow a military-grade puppet? Is that something you can just casually borrow? How is that different from directly lending you my physical body?”

Just as Zhang Yu was thinking of refusing, Bei Wufeng sent another message: 50 Lingbi a day, and I’ll cover all repair costs for any damage.

Zhang Yu was surprised to hear this: “50 Lingbi a day? Damn rich people… Why don’t you also borrow my physical body while you’re at it? Let’s say 100 Lingbi a day.”

Zhang Yu: Okay, when do you need it?

Bei Wufeng: It’s for the next Top Ten League. I’d like to borrow your Tianri Huangshen for a few days during the competition.

Hearing this, Zhang Yu’s recently warmed thoughts instantly cooled down like a bucket of cold water.

Looking at the contract the other party sent, Zhang Yu replied: Sorry, Senior, I can’t lend it.

Bei Wufeng: Junior, if there’s anything in the contract you’re not satisfied with, we can discuss it. It can all be amended.

Zhang Yu: I really can’t lend it.

Bei Wufeng: Oh, I understand. Has Ye Xingli already asked to borrow it from you?

Bei Wufeng: Or Yan Qianji?

Zhang Yu’s heart stirred as he read these messages, and he immediately understood.

“The number of school team members is limited, so do school team members ask non-school team members in the school who own military-grade magic treasures to borrow them?”

“This Bei Wufeng has been showing goodwill to me repeatedly just to borrow my Tianri Huangshen for the Top Ten League.”

Zhang Yu knew that deceiving the other party at this point was meaningless.

After thinking for a moment, he simply stopped hiding it and replied directly: Senior, I also plan to participate in the next Top Ten League, so I can’t lend it to you.
