Chapter 199 - 199 199 Building Owner is Somewhat Disappointed

Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Building Owner is Somewhat Disappointed Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Building Owner is Somewhat Disappointed Donglin First Building, within the secure warehouse!

“Jing Yan, after repeated accounting with Tang Jun, the manager, the total value of the resources you’re about to sell amounts to 183,500 Spirit Stones,” Qin Yu said to Jing Yan with a smile.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in a blue robe.

This man was Tang Jun, the manager of our First Floor warehouse.

One mustn’t underestimate the warehouse manager; in the Donglin First Building, the status of the manager is by no means inferior to that of a supervisor.

The position of a warehouse manager here is probably comparable to that of the treasure vault managers of various families.

The presence of Tang Jun in the transaction between Qin Yu and Jing Yan was also to avoid any underhanded issues.

With Tang Jun acting as a witness, their transaction did not violate any rules of the First Floor.

Of course, the price Qin Yu offered Jing Yan was also the highest purchasing price within the rules.

After all, the resources sold by Jing Yan were large in volume, and offering a high price was a normal practice.

“What?

You want to purchase so many Spirit Grass resources?”

After Jing Yan handed a densely written white paper to Qin Yu, Qin Yu was once again shocked.

“Jing Yan, why do you need so much Spirit Grass?

Is it for the Jing Family’s procurement?” Qin Yu asked, full of confusion.

If he remembered correctly, the Jing Family had just completed a large procurement not long ago.

Typically, a family only makes such a large purchase once a year.

Since they had just made a significant purchase recently, why was Jing Yan purchasing Spirit Grass worth over 100,000 Spirit Stones now?

“Manager Qin Yu, I need these Spirit Grass for my own use, not for the family.

I need them for preparing medicines,” Jing Yan honestly revealed, as there was nothing to hide.

His Pill Tower was soon to make a name in Donglin City, and there was no need for any discretion about that.

“Jing Yan, you mean you are a Pharmacist, capable of preparing medicines?” Qin Yu exclaimed, his mouth agape.

Even Tang Jun looked at Jing Yan with a face full of surprise.

Not only did Jing Yan possess an awe-inspiring talent in Martial Arts, but he could also prepare medicines?

At such a young age of seventeen?

“Correct!” Jing Yan nodded in affirmation.

Hearing Jing Yan admit he could prepare medicines, both Qin Yu and Tang Jun gasped lightly.

However, even if Jing Yan was a Pharmacist, did he need to purchase so much Spirit Grass at once?

Normally, a Pharmacist purchasing several thousand Spirit Stones’ worth of Spirit Grass in one go was considered a lot.

Yet, Jing Yan was purchasing Spirit Grass worth over 100,000 Spirit Stones.

How long would it take to use so much Spirit Grass?

Yet Qin Yu did not try to persuade Jing Yan otherwise.

Since he had plenty of Spirit Stones, even buying so much Spirit Grass was his own business.

Moreover, Spirit Grass as a resource was always in demand, almost never depreciating.

Its sales were stable at all times; even in great turmoil, the demand for Spirit Grass would only skyrocket, never be impacted.

The total value of the medicines Jing Yan intended to purchase was a staggering 133,500 Spirit Stones.

These Spirit Grasses were of low grade, cheap in price, and together with the favorable purchasing price Qin Yu offered, the quantity was astonishing.

Jing Yan surely wouldn’t need to carry out a second Spirit Grass purchase anytime soon.

After storing all the purchased Spirit Grass, Jing Yan also received a Spirit Stone Gold Card with a limit of 50,000.

This transaction had thus come to a satisfactory conclusion.

“Manager Qin Yu!”

At that moment, a voice came from outside the treasure vault.

“Hmm?” Qin Yu frowned slightly upon hearing the voice, which he recognized as likely belonging to the captain of the Guard Team.

The Guard Captain did not have the authority to enter the treasure vault, so he had to call Qin Yu from outside.

Jing Yan, following Qin Yu, also left the treasury.

Since the transaction was over, there was no need to stay any longer.

Manager Tang Jun also followed them out.

“What is it?” Qin Yu looked at the Guard Captain.

“Manager Qin Yu, the Lord Building Owner asks for your presence,” the Guard Captain said, his gaze lingering on Jing Yan for a moment before responding to Qin Yu.

“Oh?” Qin Yu’s eyebrows knitted slightly.

The Building Owner was the most powerful person in the Donglin First Building, appointed by the City Lord himself to manage Donglin First Building.

However, it was rare for the Building Owner, Zhong Chongyao, to summon supervisors unless there was something very important to discuss.

Therefore, the Guard Captain’s sudden message about the Building Owner requesting his presence caught Qin Yu off guard.

“I’ll go right now!” Qin Yu quickly stated.

“Manager Qin Yu, be prepared, as Manager Wang Yan had just met with the Building Owner before you were summoned.

It seems to be related to Young Master Jing Yan entering the secure area of the warehouse,” the Guard Captain hesitated a moment but still whispered.

“Hmm?” Hearing this, Jing Yan’s expression suddenly focused.

Initially, being summoned by the building owner of the First Floor had nothing to do with Jing Yan, who was planning on saying goodbye to Qin Yu.

However, the guard captain now mentioned that the summoning of Qin Yu was related to their entry into the warehouse, thus linking the matter to him as well.

Qin Yu’s mouth curled into a slight cold sneer upon hearing the name Wang Yan.

Instantly, he associated it with many thoughts, guessing that Wang Yan was likely seeking to use this situation to strike at him.

However, he had not violated any rules of the First Floor.

“I understand, thank you for the reminder!” Qin Yu thanked the guard captain with a gesture of courtesy.

“I will go with you, Supervisor Qin Yu!” Jing Yan immediately said.

Since this involved him, it seemed inappropriate to just leave.

Although Jing Yan had not interacted with Supervisor Wang Yan before, he could still guess at this moment that she seemed to want to use him to strike at Supervisor Qin Yu.

In this short time, Jing Yan’s impression of Wang Yan had plummeted dramatically.

“Jing Yan, you might not understand this Wang Yan yet!” On the way to the building owner’s room, Qin Yu introduced Wang Yan to Jing Yan, “This person, just like me in the First Floor, is a supervisor.

She has close ties with the Zhao Family, and this time she might not only be targeting me but also you.”

“Again the Zhao Family!” Jing Yan’s mouth twitched slightly.

The Zhao Family was the premier family of Donglin City, with enormous power and deep connections in all aspects, and naturally, it was normal for them to have intersections with the personnel inside the First Floor.

Knowing Wang Yan’s close relationship with the Zhao Family, Jing Yan’s view of her became even worse.

Soon, Jing Yan and Qin Yu reached the room where the building owner was.

Supervisor Wang Yan was indeed inside, and the moment she saw Qin Yu and Jing Yan enter, a triumphant light flashed in her eyes.

“Greetings, Lord Building Owner!” Qin Yu greeted the figure sitting upright across from him.

This person was Zhong Chongyao, the building owner of the First Floor, a martial artist of the Innate Peak Realm.

Jing Yan also sharply observed this person.

This building owner looked quite old, yet vibrant, with a profound gaze and a calm expression.

“Lord Building Owner!” Jing Yan bowed slightly with a gesture of courtesy.

“Please, sit, Young Master Jing Yan!” Zhong Chongyao unexpectedly stood up and gestured for Jing Yan to take a seat.

“Thank you!” Jing Yan expressed his gratitude and then sat down on one side by himself.

Supervisor Wang Yan’s brow immediately furrowed, as Jing Yan, from the moment he entered the room, had only initially glanced at her and then completely ignored her.

This made Wang Yan very uncomfortable.

She was a supervisor in the First Floor, and normally many people would curry favor with her.

But Jing Yan seemed to not give her any face, not even greeting her, clearly not considering her important at all.

The proud Wang Yan was, of course, very uncomfortable.

“Hmph, a petty person reveling in a small position!” Wang Yan snorted arrogantly.

Jing Yan’s face changed immediately.

Although Wang Yan did not specify names, who couldn’t hear that she was targeting him?

Jing Yan glanced around and stared coldly at Wang Yan, this woman was really annoying!

“Supervisor Qin Yu, as a supervisor of our Donglin First Floor, you should be aware of the rules here, right?” Wang Yan aggressively questioned Qin Yu before even the building owner could ask.

“Of course, I know the rules,” Qin Yu looked at Wang Yan indifferently.

He also knew why Wang Yan was so eager to strike at him.

The desire for the Deputy Building Owner position had been very strong for Wang Yan, already apparent two to three months ago.

“Since you know the rules, yet you lead by breaking them, don’t you think your actions are inappropriate?

As a supervisor, you should be setting an example, not leading by violating the rules.

Is that not setting a bad example for others?” Wang Yan’s gaze was sharp.

“Lord Building Owner, I believe that Qin Yu is no longer suitable for the supervisor position, please make a fair judgment, Lord!” Wang Yan then turned and spoke solemnly to the building owner Zhong Chongyao.

In fact, she knew it wasn’t likely that just because of this mistake by Qin Yu, she could pull him down from his supervisor position.

After all, Qin Yu had been a supervisor at the First Floor for a long time, and had the deep trust of the building owner.

Just leading someone to the warehouse wasn’t enough to pull him down from the supervisor position.

Knowing it was unlikely, she still voiced it out as a strategy.

Even if the building owner wouldn’t strip Qin Yu of the supervisor role, it surely wouldn’t be easy to support him for the Deputy Building Owner position now, right?

At this critical moment, Qin Yu had given her such a handle, and she was very pleased with herself.

If it were her, she wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.

“Supervisor Qin Yu, do you have anything to say?” Zhong Chongyao looked towards Qin Yu.

He was also somewhat disappointed.

The selection for the Deputy Building Owner was to be announced soon.

Deep down, Zhong Chongyao was inclined towards Qin Yu for the position, and he had even submitted Qin Yu’s name as the first candidate to the City Lord.

But now, Qin Yu had made a mistake, and it seemed unlikely that he would be considered for the position of Deputy Building Owner.
