Chapter 009: It is Only Natural to Take Advantage of Opportunities

Xiaoyao seems a bit strange; logically speaking, the young lady would not return home before dark. What is going on today

Indeed, if there is no profit to be made, then the servants would not concern themselves with the prices, as they are using their master's resources anyway

This made the young lady like it even more

Miss, you are in a wealthy family, so you are unaware of the concept of food scarcity! If it eats everything, something will happen. If there is not enough food, it will even consume furniture and houses... Xiaoyao replied with some emotion, indicating that there must be some painful experiences in between.

... ...

This ... ...

"Eating is the only skill I possess; I can eat endlessly!" replied Xiaoyao

This fellow is quite impressive; it is my first time encountering such a servant. Caught while trying to profit illicitly, yet he can still speak of this endeavor in such grand terms

Of course, one should not be greedy when taking advantage of opportunities; moderation is key. In this regard, Xiaoyao has done exceptionally well, and it seems he has never allowed the Mo family to suffer losses.

The method of taking advantage in a carefree manner is a mutually beneficial affair, and it can also lead to the perfect completion of tasks. As long as the host possesses a certain grace, they will not concern themselves with it

I am assisting the Third Young Master with procurement; he is currently undergoing a medicinal bath, aiming for a breakthrough in a short period, in hopes of participating in the Longmen Competition

Of course it is important, as it is a grand event of the Tianfeng Kingdom, an opportunity for everyone to make a name for themselves, a chance for everyone... " Xiaoyao began to speak about the benefits of the Longmen Competition, which is a well-known fact.

This glance is quite extraordinary; one cannot fathom how many people desire the enchanting gaze of the young lady. However, Xiaoyao is well aware that he is not fortunate enough to enjoy it. This is not only due to the disparity in their social statuses, but more importantly, it is because this young lady has some rather unique "interests and hobbies".

Is Xiaoyao her person? Literally speaking, yes, he is her little servant

"It's not difficult, is it?" said Xiaoyao, in a carefree manner.

"No, it seems that the Third Young Master has no issues and is progressing smoothly; he will achieve his goals!" replied Xiaoyao

Isn't it true that people all over the world should also know that each participant is not an ordinary person? Even if he participates, he will still be overshadowed

"Concerned about what that glutton is doing, I believe the focus should be on the one who took it away..." The carefree one cracked the whip on the "ox" pulling the cart and replied to the young lady.

In the silence, the items at the Huang Family Pharmacy were ready, and they could not wait for the young lady to make up her mind; they still had business to attend to

If Xiaoyao were to know the young lady's current thoughts, he would certainly exclaim that Chichi is indeed a foodie, capable of consuming things that you could never imagine. It is entirely appropriate to describe him with the term "bottomless pit".

The young lady seems to have understood a bit, but she finds it hard to believe how much that little thing can consume

You don't seem to care about it, do you? The young lady looked at Xiaoyao

It's nothing, I don't mind at all! The young lady shook her head and said with a smile

I can manage on my own this time; I will use the public resources, and you just need to help me carry it up!" Xiaoyao replied, leading the group over.

Okay

I see! However, Xiaoyao nodded and continued to gaze at the contents inside the book.

Alright, I won't interfere with you; as long as it does not harm the family's interests, you can do as you please! Also, what are you doing this time? I remember that the inventory at the elixir shop is too high, so it should be closed for half a year, and there shouldn't be any need to procure medicinal materials.

Ah... the young lady was taken aback; it seemed that her habitual way of thinking led her to believe that winning the Longmen Competition was the only goal. "Is this all he wants?"

"What are you looking at? Today, I am tired and want to go home to rest, is that not permissible?" The young lady seemed to understand Xiaoyao's words and cast a glance at him.

"Of course, it's to drink medicinal wine; otherwise, how could one recover!" The young lady said directly, "Kid, so you also know how to take advantage of opportunities, huh? Now that I've seen it, have I ruined your good fortune?"

In his own words, I am simply using my own abilities to earn some benefits that I rightfully deserve

"That glutton seems to have been taken away by someone. Don't worry about it," said Xiaoyao casually.

No one would be foolish enough to intervene, as this would only diminish their own interests while also undermining morale

The young lady fell silent, carefully reflecting on the words of the carefree one, and within them, she seemed to have gained insight

"... ... , by whom? Let me take them down, how dare they seize my belongings." The young lady was furious

At this moment, in a wealthy household in the city, the young lady had just finished her bath and immediately ran to a place to see a cute little magical beast she had caught today

Drinking medicinal liquor... Xie Yao was somewhat at a loss for words

Furthermore, because we aim to profit from this, we will certainly conduct a thorough examination of this matter. Otherwise, if any issues are discovered, not only will there be penalties, but we will also have to return the profits.

Enough, stop talking! If you continue, I will kneel down and beg you to share the benefits! You have quite a way with words!

Thank you, Miss Xie, for your praise. Eloquence is also a skill required of a steward, so I possess a little of it

As soon as she entered the room, she saw her mother standing to the side with a pale face, while the little demon beast she had caught was now munching away, looking quite adorable.

Ah, I thought the young lady was unaware; otherwise, why would she ask?

"Consider this: if there were no opportunity for profit, would we negotiate the price? In that case, the price would certainly remain the same. However, since we aim to gain some benefit, we will definitely drive the price down, allowing ourselves to gain a little and enabling our family to spend less. This is a mutually beneficial situation" explained Xiaoyao.

I don't know, it often gets taken away, but it comes back at night!" said Xiaoyao nonchalantly.

At this moment, she still did not know that this little cutie possessed a special kind of destructive power

At the same time, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish

As a steward, how can one manage if they do not know how to take advantage of opportunities? Xiaoyao replied, seemingly under the impression that a steward must certainly know how to seize such opportunities.

"Of course, it can be done! You are a young lady, so whatever you say goes. However, this is a truck, and you might not be accustomed to it," said Xiaoyao, as he naturally drove out the truck.

Moreover, oil and water can enhance our motivation, enabling us to complete tasks in the shortest possible time

"It's just a small injury, I just got into a fight outside and came to have some medicinal liquor. I didn't expect to run into you here trying to take advantage of the situation." This beautiful figure is Mo Yu, the young lady of the Mo family, and her tone is quite casual, as this kind of thing is just a routine matter for her

... ...

... ...

to take advantage of a situation

"Young man, where is that little foodie of yours?" The young lady suddenly remembered the little eater beside Xiaoyao while on the road. Originally, she intended to use the little eater to pass the time.

The proprietor of the Huang Family Pharmacy is about to elevate Xiaoyao to the status of an idol, with exclamation marks filling his eyes

I still don't quite understand, what is the matter with this? The young lady remains very confused

"... ... , very well, as if I never asked! Will the Third Young Master experience any side effects from the medicinal bath?" The young lady returned to the main topic, as this was her concern.

How could it not be difficult? The Longmen competition is not simple; countless people from all over the country are participating!" the young lady said irritably, while the others at the Huang family's pharmacy were preparing the items that Xiaoyao needed.

Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment before blankly saying: "Miss, how did you end up here, and what happened to the injuries on your body?"

Eating is very popular, especially among girls, even those of the upper class.

Regardless of the type of family, they all turn a blind eye to such opportunities for personal gain

Why? The young lady was somewhat puzzled

"Miss, it is certainly a good thing to take advantage of opportunities!" replied Xiaoyao, as if there were indeed some truth to it

"Stop it, do I not know about these matters you mentioned? Do I need you to remind me?" Miss Yamato from the bookstore said irritably

This seems to make some sense! The young lady pondered for a moment and acknowledged the reasoning of Xiaoyao

Then let's go! Xiaoyao said nothing more; it was impossible for him to ask the young lady to stay behind. Moreover, this was originally a matter of convenience, so what was there to refuse?

"Xiaoyao, I will go back with you!" The young lady caught up with Xiaoyao and said

Then what else can you say? How could he possibly win

Indeed, this is known by people all over the world, " replied Xiaoyao casually while waiting for something.

However, the Third Young Master only wishes to participate in the Longmen Competition, not necessarily to win it. This goal is still achievable, isn't it?" replied Xiaoyao nonchalantly

... ... ''

Completing the objective... This is quite difficult! The young lady frowned slightly and took another sip of the medicinal wine. Although the medicinal wine was not particularly pleasant, she still preferred it over the medicine itself.

Xiaoyao, here are the medicinal herbs you requested. Should we deliver them to you, or will you arrange for transportation yourself

What do you think it is? "Xiao Yao paused for a moment, glanced at the young lady, 'Proving one's worth does not necessarily require victory. Just participating is a form of proof. The process is more important than the outcome!'"

How should I put it

"Is the Longmen Competition really that important?" The young lady seemed to be speaking to herself.

She has set aside the matter of taking advantage of the situation, after all, it is not her responsibility. Even if it were her responsibility, the kind of opportunism that does not harm the interests of the Mo family, but rather helps to secure benefits for them, falls within the permissible range.

"Your tone suggests that taking advantage of others is a good thing; you really are something else." The young lady took the medicinal wine, drank a few sips, and then spoke to Xiaoyao.
