Chapter 87: The Young Mistress Starts from the Bottom
In the afternoon, Yaqing drove to St. Freya Academy.
Inside Principal Theresa's office.
"What do you need a dozen tickets for?" Theresa looked at Yaqing suspiciously. "You're not planning to sell them for money, are you?"
Yaqing, sitting on the soft sofa, was speechless.
He was a dignified Schicksal director. Even if he were short on cash, he wouldn't stoop to selling tickets to an all-girls' school festival, would he?
"I'm just planning to bring a few tickets for my housemates," Yaqing explained helplessly.
"You have housemates?" Theresa was dumbfounded.
"Why can't I have housemates?" Yaqing had a dark line on his forehead. "Theresa, I find that you have a bit of a prejudice against me."
"I really can't imagine you having housemates."
"As expected, the prejudices in people's hearts are like a great mountain. No matter how you try to move it, it remains unmoved," Yaqing said, drinking his coffee.
"You're always spouting literature. As expected of a scriptwriter," Theresa suddenly became curious. "I'm quite interested to know what kind of people your housemates are, that they can tolerate you."
Yaqing counted on his fingers. "The three doctors from World Serpent, the famous great chef Kalpas, and also Fu Hua and Senti whom you know, and finally, the world-class singer Eden, and so on."
Theresa's little mouth fell agape.
This wasn't having housemates, was it?
You probably couldn't even rent there without some kind of status.
Theresa finally gave Yaqing the tickets from her cabinet.
"I think, before the sun sets today, I will be grateful to you in my heart, little Theresa."
Before leaving, Yaqing deliberately used Otto's tone to provoke Theresa.
"Get out!" Theresa casually picked up a document from her desk, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it at Yaqing.
Unfortunately, she lacked the strength, and it didn't hit him.
Every time Yaqing deliberately used Otto's tone and voice to provoke Theresa, she was guaranteed to have a major meltdown. It never failed.
Leaving Theresa's office, Yaqing unexpectedly ran into Himeko, who was coming to deliver documents to Theresa.
"Mr. Yaqing, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here to see Principal Theresa for something?" Himeko, without her usual carefree demeanor, was polite like a lady.
"Miss Himeko, I advise you not to go in and disturb Theresa right now," Yaqing cautioned.
Himeko was puzzled.
After advising Himeko, Yaqing prepared to leave.
Himeko felt that Yaqing wouldn't just say that for no reason. She carefully pushed the office door open a crack.
She saw little Theresa with her short legs propped up on the desk, her expression furious, her hands fiercely tearing documents to shreds, like a dragon from a fairy tale that had captured a princess and was now angrily breathing fire.
"That darned Yaqing, I'll never forgive him!!!"
Himeko thought for a moment. It was probably better not to go in.
After leaving Theresa's office, Yaqing didn't rush to leave St. Freya Academy, but went to the commercial district. There was an property he owned there.
The Conqueror of the Sea of Quanta Café was already being decorated for the Spring Festival next weekend. But this had nothing to do with Yaqing. He sat down at the same table where he had talked with Welt Yang last time.
The afternoon sun shone through the glass onto Yaqing's body. Yaqing stirred the sugar and milk into his coffee, propped his head on his hand, and looked out at the busy female students, bored out of his mind.
"Hello, your Black Forest Chocolate Cake, please... hey? Darned old uncle!" Kiana, dressed as a waitress, was quite polite at first, but when she saw it was Yaqing, her smile immediately dropped.
"Kiana, are you working a part-time job?" Yaqing asked.
"No," Kiana sat directly in the seat opposite Yaqing and, without any ceremony, began to eat the chocolate cake he had ordered. She explained, "The Spring Festival is coming up. The academy will organize students to decorate the campus on weekends, and also let students choose a shop to work at for the festival."
Yaqing took a light sip of his coffee. "So you chose this Conqueror of the Sea of Quanta Café?"
"Yeah. The first time this young lady saw this name, I felt it was fated," Kiana said, chocolate sauce all over her mouth.
Yaqing helplessly took out a few tissues and skillfully wiped Kiana's little mouth.
Kiana didn't refuse. Perhaps since she was a child, she had never refused.
"Little Kiana, do you know that this coffee shop is my property?" Yaqing smiled. "Would you say this is like you coming to your own family's business and starting from the bottom?"
Kiana was dumbfounded.
Not far away at the front counter, Raiden Mei, also in a waitress uniform, was making coffee. But she caught a glimpse of the "blissful" Kiana and the man sitting with his back to her, wiping Kiana's mouth.
The ambiguous atmosphere instantly overturned Raiden Mei's vinegar jar.
She walked out from behind the counter, holding a tray.
Raiden Mei walked up behind Yaqing.
"Mei, what are you doing here?" Kiana still didn't know what was happening. Her mind was still stuck on Yaqing saying this coffee shop was his family's property.
"Kiana," Mei's smile was not a smile.
Yaqing turned around and smiled. "So it's Miss Raiden Mei. Long time no see."
The moment she saw it was Yaqing, Mei's vinegar jar instantly turned into embarrassment, her cheeks burning.
"Mei, come, come quickly! Uncle just said this coffee shop is my family's property. Does that mean this young lady can eat and drink whatever she wants?" Kiana waved Mei over to sit next to her.
"This... this isn't right," Mei instinctively sat down next to Kiana.
"What's the matter? Uncle definitely doesn't mind a little thing like this, right?" Kiana stared at Yaqing.
Yaqing was helpless.
When there was nothing, it was "darned old uncle." When there was something, it was "uncle."
"Alright, Kiana, just eat and drink to your heart's content. A property like this, I probably have three more at St. Freya Academy," Yaqing said, ruffling Kiana's head.
"Really?!"
Kiana's eyes shone.
"As long as you attend class properly at the academy and study seriously, uncle can promise you anything," Yaqing smiled.
The moment she heard "study seriously," Kiana instantly deflated.
"By the way, uncle, you're here to get the tickets, right? Then you just sit and wait. I'll go back to the dorm and get them for you," Kiana deliberately changed the subject.
How could Yaqing not notice such a stiff change of subject? He just went along with it.
"No need. Theresa already gave me several tickets. Your few tickets, if you can't give them away, you can give them to the big sisters at the company," Yaqing said.
"Oh right! How could I forget about those big sisters!"
Seeing Kiana like this, Mei's vigilance instantly went up.
"If you're here, then where's Bronya?" Yaqing asked curiously. After all, these three little ones were rarely separated.
"Bronya said she's going home for a bit. And to give the tickets to her family."
...
After leaving St. Freya Academy, Yaqing went straight back to the Courtyard. Because it was still early, everyone at the Courtyard hadn't come back yet. Only Kevin was lying on the sofa like a dead fish.
"I say, you were in this position when I left, and you're still like this now that I'm back," Yaqing was speechless. Kevin hadn't even turned over.
Kevin used his legs to sit up, his arms swaying. "You're finally back. So, did you get the tickets?"
"When I go out, there's nothing I can't get."
"You're bragging!"
"What, you don't believe me?"
"If you've got the guts, go win over Dr. Mobius."
"Hehe," Yaqing didn't speak.
At night, everyone at the Courtyard returned one after another. The busy Chef Kalpas started to get busy again. After making a large table of sumptuous dinner, during the meal, Yaqing told everyone the news.
"Is that the top all-girls' academy in the Far East, St. Freya Academy?" Rin's eyes shone with excitement. Being admitted to St. Freya Academy was also one of her dreams.
"Is it that great? I think it's just a very ordinary university," Senti, who was already studying at St. Freya, scratched her head.
To such a Versailles-flex statement, Rin naturally ignored it.
Yaqing said, "Little Griseo, do you want to go have some fun? It's very lively."
"Mmm, I want to go, Brother Yaqing," a grain of rice was still stuck to the corner of little Griseo's mouth.
"Boring. I don't want to go," Mobius said.
"..." Kosma looked at the tickets in Yaqing's hand, his mind racing.
I want to go too, but should I say it? After all, it's a girls' school. If I say I want to go too, will it be strange? If Brother Kevin and the others see me, will they think I'm childish?
Kosma ultimately didn't speak up.
But Pardofelis saw through him.
"Ah Mo says he wants to go too. Brother Yaqing, can you give me a few more?" Pardofelis's eyes had turned into money signs.
"That's not possible, Pardofelis. The tickets for St. Freya Academy are strictly controlled. Each ticket has a serial number, and it can be traced back to who it was given to. If they're sold, people with ulterior motives might enter the academy."
Yaqing explained to Pardofelis, dispelling her idea of selling the tickets for money.
"Anyone else want to go?" Yaqing asked.
In the final count, except for Mobius, everyone was willing to go. Of course, there was also Kalpas, but no one had asked for his opinion.
"Professor Mobius, just go with us. If you're all alone, you'll be so out of place~?" Elysia hugged Mobius's arm.
Mobius wanted to break free, but found that she couldn't.
"Elysia, let go of me!"
"Doctor, you should just go with us. Otherwise, you'll be so lonely all by yourself in the Courtyard."
Yaqing's persuasion made Mobius's struggle lessen considerably, but she still refused verbally.
"Then this extra ticket of mine, I'll have to return it to Theresa," Yaqing deliberately dangled the ticket in front of Mobius's face.
"I just don't want to waste a ticket," Mobius said, taking the ticket and leaving without looking back.
Elysia couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"By the way, Eden, Principal Theresa asked me to ask you if you could sing a song on stage at the end of the Spring Festival? If it's too much trouble, then it's fine."
"Mmm, it's no trouble. As long as everyone is happy."
Eden looked at everyone in the Courtyard.
