Chapter 543: Chapter 543: Will the Sky be Clear Tomorrow?

Having received a definite answer, Li Yebai felt awkward for a moment, but then he promptly agreed.

"Being Zhuge Qingqing’s junior means I can swagger through Wolong Town? Doesn’t that mean I could just win by lying down?"

Winning or losing didn’t matter; what mattered was the experience of being a junior.

Li Yebai convinced himself, and as for whether other people believed it or not, he didn’t care.

After deciding to acknowledge Zhuge Qingqing as his boss, he perked up, "Boss, are you really the top person in Wolong Town?"

Zhuge Qingqing gave him a look, "Isn’t that a dumb question you’re asking?"

The elder who had spoken before said, "Miss Zhuge in our Wolong Town is certainly someone whose word is law."

"If you don’t believe it, feel free to raise any doubts."

Li Yebai cleared his throat, "It’s not a big issue, just a small problem that I was hoping you all could help with."

"What problem?"

Zhuge Qingqing asked eagerly, "Does it have something to do with Sister Fairy? If Sister Fairy has a problem, please feel free to enslave me!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Did it have to sound so suggestive?

But Zhuge Qingqing didn’t see any issue with what she said and looked eagerly at Shi Yaoguang, waiting for her to speak.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t keep them in suspense and simply raised the paper box in her hand.

Only then did everyone notice the "Dian Nan noodles" she was holding.

Looking at the noodles in her hand, Zhuge Qingqing narrowed her eyes, "What is this?"

Shi Yaoguang opened the paper box to reveal a snow-white Phoenix model inside.

This Phoenix was crafted from edible materials and only needed the final step to be complete.

Li Yebai couldn’t wait to say, "We plan to sell this Phoenix; we just don’t know for how much."

Upon hearing this, the elder next to Zhuge Qingqing immediately spoke up, "How much do you want for it?"

Seeing him speak up, Li Yebai was curious, "You want it?"

The elder nodded vigorously.

The lifelike appearance of the Phoenix clearly showed extraordinary craftsmanship.

Even as food, there are levels of rarity and preciousness.

Moreover...

It just so happened there was an opportunity to use the Phoenix.

Indeed, it was quite fortunate.

Tomorrow is Wolong Town’s annual Flower Appreciation Festival.

Someone important specially came to attend.

Since guests are here, entertaining them is a must.

He had been worried about not being a good host, but with this Phoenix, there would be no fear of losing face for Wolong Town.

He had come to find Zhuge Qingqing mainly to inquire about the food preparations for tomorrow.

Now, with the opportunity presenting itself, he certainly wouldn’t miss it.

After listening to the elder, Li Yebai also felt it was quite a coincidence.

He turned to ask Shi Yaoguang for her opinion, "Yaoguang, what do you think?"

Shi Yaoguang said, "It can be sold."

As she spoke, she gave Li Yebai an encouraging look, "How much you can negotiate for depends on you, I believe in you."

Feeling entrusted with an important task, Li Yebai puffed up his chest, hypnotizing himself, "That’s right, I can definitely do it, believe in me!"

With that, he started to haggle with the elder.

After a tug of war, the Phoenix Shi Yaoguang had was bought by the elder for thirty thousand.

Not just Li Yebai, even Shi Yaoguang was somewhat surprised.

It wasn’t that she thought the Phoenix wasn’t worth the price.

But the cost of living in Wolong Town was not high.

After entering the restaurant, Shi Yaoguang also took note of the surroundings, originally expecting that getting three thousand would be good enough.

The elderly man was willing to offer thirty thousand for the Phoenix, but he actually had another condition.

That was to have Shi Yaoguang produce a finished dish.

The elder wanted to use the Phoenix for the next day’s meal, and naturally, he sought perfection for the banquet.

Shi Yaoguang could understand that and naturally agreed.

So, in the presence of Shi Yiqing and Min Zekai’s team, Shi Yaoguang and Li Yebai received a ten thousand yuan deposit.

The remaining twenty thousand would be paid by the old man upon completion of the dish.

Even just the deposit had already crushed all the celebrity guests of the reality show.

Barrage:

"Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit, did I see that right? Ten thousand yuan in hand?"

"Reality show crew: I was still too naïve!"

"Did the crew arrange for everyone to earn their own money at the beginning because they wanted to make it difficult for the guests? It’s not even evening yet, and the Blue Team has already made so much money, a total of thirty thousand! With this kind of cash, the Blue Team can live it up all week, right?"

"Hahaha, just look at the Yellow Team’s expression, Shi Yiqing’s face is all twisted."

"Attention, attention, this is not a drill, and it’s not a slimming filter either, Shi Yiqing really twisted her nose in anger hahahaha..."

"If it were me, I’d be mad too."

"The comparison is just too tragic, but I can’t help but laugh, the Yellow Team is really miserable."

...

Li Yebai casually negotiated the price with the old man and began feeling a bit of remorse.

If he’d known the Phoenix would sell so easily, he wouldn’t have recognized a boss.

Even though he knew that acknowledging a boss would be a humorous point when broadcasted, but...

On closer inspection of Zhuge Qingqing, he felt that he had been too rash.

After thinking it over, he finally made up his mind.

"I’ve made up my mind!"

Everyone looked at him in unison, "What have you decided?"

Li Yebai chuckled with a sly expression, "I’ve decided to leave the organization."

"What do you mean?"

Li Yebai looked at Zhuge Qingqing, "Let’s just do away with the boss and subordinate relationship."

Zhuge Qingqing was puzzled, "Why?"

Li Yebai fanned himself with the ten thousand yuan in his hand and said smugly, "Because I’m now a rich man!"

"My mom said not to be friends with poor people!"

At this statement, there was a moment of silence on set.

Zhuge Qingqing looked at him with a face that said she was looking at an idiot, "Your mom told you not to befriend poor people, but what does that have to do with me?"

Li Yebai was about to call her poor.

But...

Upon a closer look at the clothes on Zhuge Qingqing, he couldn’t bring himself to say that Zhuge Qingqing was poor.

Though he was a person mixed up in the entertainment industry,

But...

He wasn’t the kind of person in the industry who had saved a lot of money and could afford to splurge recklessly.

At least, when compared to Zhuge Qingqing’s lavish designer outfits, he was somewhat lacking.

So, it embarrased him to call Zhuge Qingqing poor.

However, since he had brought it up, it seemed improper not to continue.

After some thought, he decided to bravely press on.

"Ahem." Li Yebai cleared his throat and said, "Actually, I feel like our fate has run its course..."

Zhuge Qingqing rolled her eyes, "If you don’t want to acknowledge me as your boss, just say it. I won’t force you."

With that, she turned to Shi Yaoguang, "Sister Fairy, do you have time tomorrow?"

The topic changed so quickly that Li Yebai was still somewhat baffled, "So you’ve moved on from my broken promise already?"
