???
Frowning, Chen Yu hurried to the door.
Were they fighting?
Did Lia perhaps think the Elton family had a grudge against him and wanted to vent his anger on his behalf?
Thinking about Lia's brain,
He actually seemed capable of doing such a thing.
"How did they start fighting?" Chen Yu was full of disbelief. Nuo Yi shrugged, "I don't know. It seems the person who came had a conflict with that silly boy Lia, and Lia's attitude was very unfriendly from the moment they met."
Huh?!
Chen Yu frowned, somewhat confused.
It shouldn't be like this.
The Chief Financial Officer held the reins of the Tatum Kingdom's wealth. As a mercantile clan, the Elton family inevitably had to rely on the Chief Financial Officer for their livelihood. From Chen Yu's understanding of Fuhua Elton, the clansmen he educated would not do something so foolish.
Let alone a clansman, even Roni Elton might not dare to provoke this second-generation heir, Lia.
Unable to figure it out, Chen Yu glanced at the little devil.
"What are you looking at me for? I can't do anything about this."
The little devil spread his hands. Chen Yu also frowned and walked to the door. Before he could even push it open, he heard Lia's agitated scolding from outside.
"Get lost, this young master doesn't have time to deal with you today." Lia's tone was full of impatience. "I've already booked this restaurant. I'm hosting distinguished guests inside. Stop coming here to cause trouble for me."
No matter how Lia shouted, the other party simply replied with two flat words.
"Move aside."
"Can't you understand? How can people from your academy communicate so poorly!" Lia shouted unpleasantly. "Didn't I tell you that I'm hosting distinguished guests here? Can't you understand human language and get out of this restaurant intelligently... out."
Chen Yu, standing at the door, tensed.
The Academy?
The person who came was not from the Elton family, but from the Academy.
Immediately, Chen Yu glanced at the little devil. Not long ago, the two of them had discussed matters related to the Academy, and now, someone from the Academy had suddenly appeared.
The little devil remained silent but gave Chen Yu a look.
Chen Yu nodded slightly.
Chen Yu understood the meaning of that look, which was for him to listen further.
"Distinguished guests? What distinguished guests could you possibly have?" The scholar from the Academy outside scoffed disdainfully. "You are just a spoiled brat relying on your father's blessings. Do you really have any distinguished guests? I'm too lazy to meet your usual cronies. I'm here on a mission. If you're smart, you'll get out of the way. If you delay the Academy's business, do you think your Chief Financial Officer father can protect you?"
"You're threatening me?!"
Lia instantly exploded. Chen Yu, standing in the room, also pushed the door open, just in time to see Lia grabbing the scholar's collar.
Sensing the door being pushed open, Lia also turned his head.
"Sir, why are you out? Did I disturb you? I'll take this ignorant brat elsewhere." Lia said with a fawning smile, his hand still tightly gripping the scholar's collar. "Hurry up and come with me."
The scholar, who was being grabbed, had a sudden change of expression upon seeing Chen Yu.
He looked at Lia with great interest,
Remaining completely still, no matter how much Lia pulled, as if his feet were rooted to the ground.
"Lia, is he the distinguished guest you mentioned?"
The scholar raised his eyebrows with a smile, looking at Chen Yu.
"You'd better be respectful." Lia tightly gripped his collar and threatened in a low voice, "You can't afford to provoke this person. Let alone you, even your teacher can't. Don't cause trouble for me. I really don't have the mood to argue with you pedantic scholars right now."
"He is who I'm looking for."
The scholar whispered, and Lia, who was still holding his clothes, was instantly stunned.
"What?"
"Let me go. I'm looking for your distinguished guest." The scholar seemed too lazy to waste words with Lia and turned to look at Chen Yu, who was standing behind him. "Sir, I have been entrusted by my master to seek you out."
"Why are you looking for me?"
Upon learning that the scholar was looking for him, Chen Yu, standing at the door, frowned slightly.
"Are you sure you want to say some things in front of him?" The scholar subtly nudged with his lips, and Lia also frowned and snorted, "What do you mean by that? Why can't you say it in front of me? I'm telling you, Sir treats me..."
"Lia, let him go."
Before Lia could finish speaking, Chen Yu interrupted him.
Lia naturally obeyed Chen Yu's words. Hearing Chen Yu tell him to let go, Lia, although displeased with the scholar, could only glare at him hatefully and release his hand.
The scholar, now free, lightly patted his collar.
After tidying his creased collar and adjusting his hair bun, and once he had tidied himself up, he then walked towards Chen Yu. Along the way, he disdainfully pushed Lia aside and nodded slightly at Chen Yu.
"Bellor."
"Hello." Chen Yu nodded slightly. "May I ask why you are looking for me?"
The scholar silently looked at Chen Yu, tilting his head slightly to glance at Lia.
Chen Yu understood.
He turned and walked into the room.
The scholar followed Chen Yu into the room. Lia tried to follow but was stopped by Nuo Yi.
"It's none of your business. Hurry up and urge that Elton family. How long have they been waiting? If that Sir gets impatient, your life will be forfeit. Don't you know what you should be doing?"
"Yes, yes, you're right."
From furious a moment ago, Lia turned and walked out. The watch on his wrist pulsed with blue light, and before long, he could be heard cursing loudly.
"What the hell are you doing? Didn't I tell you to contact the Elton family? Why haven't I seen them yet? Do you still want this job, or should I just set you free!"
"Ha?!"
"You've already contacted the Elton family, and they've agreed to come? Does it take traversing mountains and rivers to get from Sky City to my restaurant? It's been half an hour, and they're still not here. Even if they were cripples, they should have arrived by now?"
"You know you need to urge them, so why are you still standing there?!"
"Still not hurrying to urge them!"
Lia shouted in exasperation. His life was now firmly in the hands of that Sir. If he genuinely delayed that Sir's affairs, and that Sir, displeased, took it out on him, how suffocating would that be?
Reincarnation is a skill.
Being able to be born into the Chief Financial Officer's family was something he had begged for with his head bowed.
He absolutely couldn't die so miserably.
"I must say, this Sir is truly extraordinary. Even a strange place like the Academy treats him so courteously." Lia couldn't help but click his tongue and shake his head, sighing softly. "As expected, he's a capable person. I'd better behave myself!"
