NOVEL NEXT Chapter 216 Just Going to Have a Look
"Willing, of course willing."
Seeing Chen Li's determined attitude and considering that it was beneficial for both parties, Wang Ye readily agreed.
"Good, I knew little junior brother was the best."
Chen Li sent Wang Ye a sparkling look, his tranquil face filled with joy.
After discussing the matter at hand, Wang Ye called out the three foreign youngsters.
As soon as Zhao Tu, Li Shuishui, and God of Wealth Tang came out, they approached Wang Ye and with a thud,
they knelt down before him.
In the stupefied gazes of Wang Ye, Chen Li, and Liu Na, Zhao Tu and the others voiced in unison:
"Greetings, Master!"
"???"
Wang Ye, Chen Li, and Liu Na, seeing Zhao Tu and the others acting this way, were all somewhat confused for a moment.
They had no idea what Zhao Tu and his companions were up to.
Wang Ye glanced over at Xie Lina, and seeing him looking her way, she quickly waved her hands saying, "It wasn't me who told them, I just brought them inside."
Wang Ye, looking at Zhao Tu, Li Shuishui, and God of Wealth Tang, asked somewhat helplessly, "What's all this about?"
Li Shuishui blinked her big eyes: "Paying respects and pledging as disciples, ah. We saw in our studies of Dragon Country's culture that when you pledge to a master, you need to kowtow, and also need... need..."
Li Shuishui's face showed her pondering, clearly unable to remember the other steps.
God of Wealth Tang on the side reminded her, "And pay respects to Confucius."
"Ah yes, to pay respects to Confucius!"
With sudden clarity, Li Shuishui finished her thought, a western face showing joy colored with a sense of achievement.
"Those are old rules, now here in Dragon Country, we do not follow that practice," Wang Ye explained with a hint of resignation, standing up to help Zhao Tu, Li Shuishui, and God of Wealth Tang to their feet, and then seated them on the sofa.
Following that,
with a serious face, Wang Ye said to Zhao Tu, Li Shuishui, and God of Wealth Tang:
"You should know that within the culture passed down through Dragon Country, there are essences and also dregs. Like Traditional Chinese Medicine, as well as frugality, knowing the hard-earned nature of every grain of food—these are the essences of Dragon Country's culture; however, things like fortune-telling and superstitions are considered the dregs."
"And today, the first lesson I'm going to teach you is not about Traditional Chinese Medicine, but how to differentiate within the culture handed down through Dragon Country what is useful and what is not."
"..."
Then, Wang Ye started explaining these matters to Zhao Tu, Li Shuishui, and God of Wealth Tang.
Wang Ye felt that even if he taught them nothing about Traditional Chinese Medicine, he had to let them understand this point.
He could see that these three were deeply interested in the culture of Dragon Country.
If they were to learn some of the dregs and take them back to their own countries, it could lead others to think less of Dragon Country.
Therefore, before that happened, Wang Ye had to ensure they understood what they truly should be learning from Dragon Country.
So that when they returned home, they could choose not to praise Dragon Country,
but absolutely must not give others the impression that Dragon Country was not up to par!
...
For the entire morning, Wang Ye spent his time either discussing serious matters with Chen Li and Liu Na, or talking about these issues with Zhao Tu and the others.
And Zhao Tu and his companions also understood that going to a fortune teller to choose their names was actually a part of feudal superstition.
During lunchtime, Zhao Tu turned his attention to Wang Ye and asked, "Master, since we got this wrong, do we need to change our names in the future?"
Li Shuishui and God of Wealth Tang, too, looked toward Wang Ye.
To tell the truth, all three of them quite liked the names they had picked out.
And over the past few days, they had already gotten used to it.
If Wang Ye were to ask them to change their names now, they would find it somewhat uncomfortable at first.
But if Wang Ye wanted them to change, they would listen to him and obediently change their names.
"Let's not change the names for now, since we've already gotten used to them, let's just continue using them."
Zhao Tu and the other two breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
After the meal, Wang Ye first dropped off Liu Na at the Yun City official guard, then headed to Fang Family Jewelry Store.
Fang Feifei and Su Wanqing were both there at that time.
That afternoon, Wang Ye planned to take Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei to buy a house.
After picking up Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei, Wang Ye took the two of them to the sales department of Jinxiu Villa District, a newly built property in Yun City.
Jinxiu Villa District sales department.
No sooner had Wang Ye arrived at the sales department of Jinxiu Villa District than Zhao Ruoxi was already waiting at the entrance.
Wang Ye had also learned that Zhao Ruoxi was buying a house at the Jinxiu Villa District sales department, which is why he decided to come over and take a look.
"Brother Wang."
Zhao Ruoxi greeted Wang Ye with a smile upon seeing him, revealing two cute dimples.
However, the looks that Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei cast toward Zhao Ruoxi became wary again.
Zhao Ruoxi was very attractive.
Even when standing with Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei, she did not pale in comparison.
"Miss Zhao."
Wang Ye stood between Zhao Ruoxi and Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei, introducing the three to each other.
Upon hearing Wang Ye say that both Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei were his women, a hint of jealousy flashed through Zhao Ruoxi's beautiful eyes.
But soon, her face was covered with a smile.
"We just so happen to have a suitable villa for you here, a five-storied one. It will be spacious enough even if your family were to grow in the future," Zhao Ruoxi said sweetly.
This time.
Aside from Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei, even Wang Ye could detect an underlying insinuation in Zhao Ruoxi's words.
It was as if the extra people Zhao Ruoxi mentioned were not the elderly, not children, not men.
But rather...
Other women.
Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei discreetly pinched Wang Ye in unison.
Though the pinch from Su Wanqing and Fang Feifei did not hurt, Wang Ye still felt a bit aggrieved in his heart.
Why pinch him?
He hadn't been entertaining any other thoughts.
"Cough cough."
Wang Ye coughed twice and said, "Let's go take a look then."
Although he indeed had no such thoughts at the moment,
what the future held was always unknown.
With him being so outstanding,
it was only sensible to prepare for any unexpected turns in the future.
Besides, the extra rooms didn't necessarily have to be for his women. If guests came, couldn't they stay there as well?
