Chapter 478 Sky Lanterns (2)
Even Zhu Yeer was surprised at her own behaviour, of course everyone else was too. There were many people who worked with Zhu Yeer here and they all knew she was the classic little lady boss.
She was a girl who took over her familys business and assets at ten years old, even successfully expanding their wealth. Zhu Yeer was a businesswoman who bore huge potential, you can imagine how capable she is.
Upon meeting her, many people had one realisation: age wasnt a problem at all, sometimes it all came down to determination and focus.
It was a rare sight to see such a powerful businesswoman act like a child her age indeed.
Just call me Brother. Whats up? Ye Lang didnt answer her question because he didnt want to lie to a child.
Brother, can you tell me where you bought this bear? Zhu Yeer seemed to also not care about his name- all she cared about was the teddy in her arms.
I got someone to make it for me! What do you think? Isnt it adorable? answered Ye Lang. This bear was one he ordered to be custom-made for him when he couldnt think of ways to spend his money.
So that means you didnt buy it, you imagined it to life! Zhu Yeers eyes shone as she grabbed his arm excitedly.
I guess, he nodded.
Brother, can I manufacture this teddy bear and sell it, can I? she asked very honestly. The potential market for this bear was huge, she knew many girls would like it.
Ye Langs previous toy required alchemy so she couldnt manufacture that. However, this teddy bear was different. All it needed were very common materials.
Sure. He nodded. It was a very common toy anyway- at least when he was on Earth, in his previous life.
Hehe, deal! Brother, Ill definitely give you your share when I earn the profit! she said.
Its fine, I dont like the idea of sharing profit. Ive got enough money already, refused Ye Lang. Im meeting another girl soon, you should go play.
Ye Lang needed Zhu Yeer to leave so he could look for Li Yue. The art of seduction he was going to use on Li Yue wasnt something the little girl should watch.
No, I want to go too! I want to talk to her too! she cried as she tugged on his sleeve. Unfortunately, Zhu Yeer did not want to leave.
Many people were stunned by her actions. Was this the Boss Zhu they knew? She was acting like a regular little-girl-next-door.
Go away, Im going to get myself a chick, what good will having a kid with me do? Ye Lang said very honestly without even attempting to beat around the bush.
Wow. To chase away your little sister -wait, the girl was Boss Zhu- to flirt with a girl. What nerve.
Many were impressed by his honesty though.
I want to learn too. I have many admirers, you know, she said.
Are you joking? asked Ye Lang as he regarded her from head to toe.
Its true! Im very capable! cried Zhu Yeer, frustrated. It was obvious he was unimpressed.
It was true, there were many people who wanted her hand because of her capabilities and wealth. She was a powerful businesswoman who brought a failing business back to life within 5 years, then even expanded it so quickly it could rival a kingdoms wealth.
Alright, you must be Your admirers must be snotty little kids, yes? he asked with a grin.
Zhu Yeer remained silent, she was humiliated! In the past, she wouldve raged at him but she didnt this time.
Zhu Yeer wondered why she was behaving so oddly today. Why did this boy from the fox tribe feel so comfortable? As if he was her own brother? Other than the thirteenth prince from the Ye family years ago, no one gave her the same feeling.
With this sense of comfort, she was reverting back to her inner child and saying things she couldnt believe she said.
Ye Lang was in a dilemma now. Hed originally attended this festival to get to know a girl better. Now he had this little kid he couldnt shake off.
And just like that, till the end of the Full Moon Festival, Ye Lang did not have any opportunity to talk to Li Yue. Zhu Yeer dragged him along to light the lanterns, they even played carnival games
Sigh, I guess Ill just treat today as a day out with a little sister.
Come, Ill teach you something fun. These lanterns are getting very boring. Ye Lang had already given up his plans and decided to keep her company.
What is it? she asked excitedly. She was now a full-fledged child.
When they saw Zhu Yeer like this, many people secretly felt happy for her. Although the Zhu Yeer they knew was capable, she lacked the sense of innocence because shed never been able to have a proper childhood.
Ye Langs presence today brought her playfulness out again. As a child her age should.
Find a lighter lantern. Yep, this one looks good. Remove all the useless attachments on top then glue the top shut. Then light it. Ye Lang talked as he modified the lantern.
?? Zhu Yeer didnt understand what he was doing. Brother, this lanterns bald. Its ugly
It doesnt matter if its ugly. You wouldnt be able to see it anyway. The most important thing is that it can fly Ye Lang said with a smile. He was making a Sky Lantern- also known as a Kongming Lantern.
Fly? Youre saying the lantern can fly? she asked in surprise.
Yep, this is a Sky Lantern! Ye Lang lighted the Sky Lantern hed just made. When it accumulated enough hot air inside, the lantern slowly ascended into the skies right before everyones eyes.
Woah! Its flying! Brother, it really is flying! she squealed excitedly.
Hmmph, whats so impressive about it? Its just alchemy, huffed someone on the side, thinking hed used an alchemy technique.
This isnt anything impressive. Its not alchemy, hot air rises. Thats the only principle, explained Ye Lang mildly.
Youre lying.
Ye Lang could care less about the strangers opinion. He turned around. Go big or go home. Lets make all the lanterns fly, itd be so pretty!
Alright! Ive got heaps of them in stock and we never really knew what to do with them anyway said Zhu Yeer, accidentally revealing the fact that shed organised this festival because she had unsold stock.
