'Crap!'
Sure enough, just like Li Tianming expected, Zhao Longfei was secretly monitoring.
'Good thing he didn't say anything.'
In the future they would run into each other all the time, if you talk bad about someone behind their back, it would really be hard to get along then.
'By contrast, Qin Siyang...'
'Hm?'
Li Tianming suddenly discovered that Qin Siyang had his hands folded across his chest, chin lifted, and didn't seem worried at all.
He didn't take Zhao Longfei's reprimand seriously in the slightest.
'Since when did this kid's spine become so stiff?'
Qin Siyang crooked the corner of his mouth, "Principal Zhao, why are you always eavesdropping on others?"
Zhao Longfei's voice continued coming from the speaker, ["Nonsense, this is the Zhao family's special car, isn't it normal that everything is under my control!"]
"Principal Zhao, you know that what I hate most is being controlled, being watched."
Zhao Longfei's tone was indifferent, ["So what?"]
"I hope you can give me, the president of this Chamber of Commerce, a bit more freedom."
["I hope you can give me, the president of this university, a bit more respect!"]
"Principal Zhao, if you talk to me about respect, you're basically asking me to make something out of nothing, that's impossible."
The speaker went silent for a long time.
Even Li Tianming was stunned, he never would've thought in a million years that Qin Siyang would be this tough.
After a while, Zhao Longfei's voice finally came, ["In a couple of days, I'll personally come teach you."]
The calm voice revealed Zhao Longfei's disdain.
Qin Siyang let out another weird laugh, "Principal Zhao, don't force me, otherwise the remaining corpse of the Corrosive Black Centipede in my hand won't be given to South Glory University anymore."
["You… fine. Little Qin, actually whether there is respect or not isn't that important. After all, we are a pragmatic school. And I also reflected a bit, what you said makes sense, I was indeed a bit inappropriate before."]
"Mm, to gain Principal Zhao's approval, I'm extremely grateful."
["Your guest house has already been arranged, you can move in. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just go directly to Secretary Lin, she will help you solve it. I'll send you her contact."]
"Oh, okay."
["Then that's it for now, do you have anything else to say?"]
"Not at the moment. Goodbye."
["Alright, goodbye! When I return to South Glory, I'll take you for a tour of our school!"]
Music once again came from the speaker.
Qin Siyang lightly patted the dust off his clothes and smiled slightly.
Looking at Qin Siyang's proud expression, Li Tianming said helplessly, "Little Qin, do you really have to provoke Zhao Longfei like this?"
"What do you mean provoke, I just blurted out what was on my mind."
Li Tianming waved his hand, "Oh please. Little Qin, today you were able to make Zhao Longfei bow his head because of materials, but what about tomorrow? You can't always produce some unbelievable rare materials every time."
Qin Siyang showed a confident smile, "Maybe I can. Think back to a week ago, did you ever think you'd be holding a bowl of water for me to wash my feet with?"
"Let's not talk about foot washing today."
"I'm just giving you some advice. If you don't leave yourself any way out, and get retaliated by Zhao Longfei in the future, don't say I didn't warn you."
"Old Li, don't worry," Qin Siyang stretched lazily, "People like Zhao Longfei who go crazy at the sight of treasure will have to speak gently to me for the rest of their lives, I don't need any way out."
"You… fine," Seeing that Qin Siyang wouldn't listen to anything and was determined to flaunt his power, Li Tianming didn't say more, "Good advice is wasted on a doomed soul, as long as you're happy."
Anyway, he wouldn't be the one getting retaliated by Zhao Longfei in the future, why worry so much.
Qin Siyang turned his ring slightly so the driver wouldn't hear the next conversation.
"By the way, Old Li, besides the Corrosive Liquid Sac of the Corrosive Black Centipede, what other materials did you need? I kind of forgot."
Li Tianming sighed, "There are still a lot of things I need."
"Tell me."
"A fist-sized Crimson Crystal, inner leaf of a Titan Foxtail Grass, wing of an Ice Crystal Giant Moth, leather armor of a Lava Crocodile, one kilogram of Yellow Silver Star Ore."
Qin Siyang nodded, "Alright, got it. Next time I leave the safe zone, I'll keep an eye out for you."
Li Tianming perfunctorily said, "Okay, got it, thank you."
"Mr. Li, Mr. Qin, we've arrived."
Li Tianming and Qin Siyang got out of the car with their luggage.
The more-than-ten-story-high East Guest House was the most luxurious guest house of South Glory University, built magnificently and generously.
Although it wasn't the first time Qin Siyang had come, he still couldn't help but feel impressed.
Even a guest house was built so extravagantly.
The Zhao family really had deep foundations.
"I've never been to this guest house before. I didn't expect it to be this nice."
"Yeah, it's my first time… eh, Old Li, why did you come to the guest house too? Aren't you renting a place together with Director Zhang and the others?"
"Rent? Who told you Old Zhang and the others are renting?"
Qin Siyang asked in surprise, "Not renting, then where are they living?"
"They all bought houses in full. Only Lu Daoxing, that debtor, is still renting."
"Bought houses? How much money would that cost? Are all of them filthy rich?"
"Are you stupid? They sold their previous houses, added some more money, and then bought new ones. You think everyone's like you, broke and rattling with coins?"
Qin Siyang said with disdain, "Heh, laughing at me like you're so much richer than me. Aren't you also staying in a guest house here?"
"I haven't had time to buy a house yet, so I can only stay in the guest house for a while."
"Wait a minute!"
Qin Siyang quickly put down the luggage in his hand.
"Where did you get the money to buy a house!"
Li Tianming flipped his bangs on top of his head, "Fenghe paid for it, do you have any opinion?"
Qin Siyang thought carefully.
Chen Fenghe's medical skills were extraordinary, she probably did make money more easily than Li Tianming.
If she was willing to spoil Li Tianming, that would indeed work.
"I thought so."
Qin Siyang narrowed his eyes, "You're a guy eating soft rice, and you're still so cocky?"
Li Tianming on the other hand looked completely comfortable with it, "Money kept is of no use, what's wrong with her buying me a house."
"Besides, what I give Fenghe is far more than the money for buying a house."
Qin Siyang had nothing more to say.
The two of them carried their luggage into the guest house and stopped at the front desk.
"Sirs, are you checking in to the guest house? The prices are different for different room types, please choose. To check in, you need to pay one day's fee in advance and one silver coin as a deposit."
Qin Siyang said, "All the rooms on one floor are mine, I don't need to pay."
"Oh, you are Mr. Qin Siyang, Mr. Qin?"
"That's me."
"Alright, Secretary Lin has already given instructions. The entire tenth floor is your floor. According to your request, we've cleared one room for residence. Here is your room card."
"Okay, thank you."
Qin Siyang took the room card and waited on the side for Li Tianming to complete the procedures.
Li Tianming said, "Why are you standing there stunned, go upstairs."
"Aren't you checking in?"
Li Tianming laughed, "One whole floor is yours, why should I waste money? Can't you spare me a room to stay for two days?"
Qin Siyang said calmly, "I didn't know you were staying at the guest house with me, I only told them to clear one room, and the remaining seven rooms are still being rented out."
"Huh? Why?"
"Nonsense, every extra day rented is an extra day's rent, why would I leave the rooms empty! Hurry up and check in. And let me say first, I'm not giving you a discount just because you bought a house in full!"
Li Tianming sighed and reluctantly said, "In that case, let's just squeeze together tonight then."
