“Borrow money?”

When the owner of Da’an Leather Factory heard Ye Guotao’s request, he knitted his eyebrows.

“Yes,” Ye Guotao said with a smile. “I would like to borrow a few tens of thousands of dollars from you to buy my son some Energy Pills. My son became a Top-Level Warrior Apprentice yesterday. If he takes a few more Energy Pills, he might be able to break into the Dark Iron level before the college entrance examination.”

Aside from the factory owner, An Junsheng, there was a young man in the office.

Ye Guotao had seen this young man before. He was An Junsheng’s nephew, and he would often come to his office.

And if he remembered correctly, just like his son, he was a student at the city’s No.3 Senior High School, and his name was An Zhenghao.

However, he didn’t know much else about him.

An Zhenghao, who was sitting on the sofa, looked Ye Guotao up and down before asking abruptly, “Your surname is Ye? Is your son Ye Xuan?”

Ye Guotao’s eyes lit up. “Yes. Do you know my son?”

“Ha. I guess so.”

An Zhenghao chuckled as he leaned against the sofa. He didn’t say anything after that.

However, deep down, he was very puzzled. If Ye Xuan had awakened his Beast Taming aptitude, why would Ye Guotao need to buy Energy Pills for him?

Seeing An Zhenghao’s reaction, An Junsheng raised his eyebrows and shook his head while saying to Ye Guotao, “Guotao, it isn’t that I don’t want to help you. It’s just that I’m also short on money.”

“But...”

Ye Guotao felt dispirited. He was an old employee at the factory. Initially, he’d thought that he wouldn’t have any problems if he came over personally.

He hadn’t expected that he would run into such a situation.

From the looks of it, this An Zhenghao guy had a deep grudge against Ye Xuan.

In that case, it wasn’t really possible for him to borrow money from An Junsheng.

He sighed inwardly.

As a man in the middle of his life, and as the head of his family, it was truly depressing to not have any money when something came up.

“You shouldn’t blame my uncle.”

At that moment, An Zhenghao, who was leaning against the sofa, suddenly raised his head and said, “The factory hasn’t been doing much business nowadays. My uncle just told me that he’s going to lay off some employees.”

“You!” Ye Guotao clenched his fists.

He hadn’t expected this young man before him to be so evil to the core despite his young age.

After learning about his relationship with Ye Xuan, not only had he forbid An Junsheng from lending him money, but he even wanted the man to fire him.

Thud thud.

At that moment, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door to An Junsheng’s office.

An Junsheng raised his head and said, “Come in.”

After a brief moment, a factory employee walked in.

As soon as the employee entered, he looked at Ye Guotao in surprise.

Then, he said to An Junsheng, “Boss, someone from Jiangzhou University is outside looking for Ye Guotao. The person said that his son has awakened his Beast Taming aptitude and has been specially recruited by Jiangzhou University.

“He’s here to arrange a new job for Ye Guotao and his wife.”

Huh?

Ye Guotao’s eyes widened in shock.

At the same time, An Junsheng and An Zhenghao also looked at each other.

Especially An Zhenghao, who knew that Ye Xuan had just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude the day before.

He’d just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude yesterday, and now, he was being specially recruited by Jiangzhou University?

And people from Jiangzhou University had even come here to specially arrange a new job for his parents? How was that possible?

Ye Guotao looked at the employee who had come into the office and couldn’t help but say, “Old Jiang, are you mistaken or something?”

Didn’t his son just become a Top-Level Warrior Apprentice?

How could he have awakened a talent for beast taming and even become a special recruit of Jiangzhou University?

This middle-aged man, who Ye Guotao had addressed as Old Jiang, spoke in rapid-fire sentences. “There’s no mistake. Your wife is already outside. She already called your son and confirmed everything. So, hurry up and go.

“But seriously, how do you not know about your own son’s affairs? Are you sure that you guys gave birth to him?”

“What kind of question is that? If he’s not my son, are you telling me that he’s yours?” Ye Guotao didn’t have time to say anything else. He simply yelled at the man and then hurried outside.

His heart was thumping rapidly.

“Has my son really become a specially enrolled student at Jiangzhou University?” he thought.

After Ye Guotao left, An Junsheng couldn’t help but stare at An Zhenghao.

“Zhenghao? What’s going on? Is that Ye Xuan guy really a Beast Tamer and a specially enrolled student at Jiangzhou University?”

“This... I...”

An Zhenghao mumbled for quite some time before saying, “Ye Xuan just awakened his Beast Taming aptitude yesterday. I thought that since he awakened his talent too late, it can’t be that great.

“About him becoming Jiangzhou University’s specially enrolled student, he didn’t mention anything about it.”

“You!” An Junsheng pointed his finger at An Zhenghao and was unable to speak for a moment.

Even if Jianzhou University hadn’t specially recruited Ye Xuan, and even if Ye Xuan’s aptitude in Beast Taming wasn’t that great, as a Beast Tamer, he’d have an incomparably better future than a Dark Iron Warrior.

An Junsheng couldn’t help but sigh.

How had his elder brother given birth to such a money-losing proposition?

As for An Zhenghao, he was feeling very depressed.

This morning, after he’d learned that Ye Xuan had become a Beast Tamer, he’d felt depressed, which was why he’d taken the day off to come to his uncle’s place and relax.

But he hadn’t expected Ye Xuan to once again strike him a blow even when he was miles away from him.

And this time, the impact was even worse than before.

At that moment, Ye Guotao, who was walking out of the Da’an Leather Factory with Su Yunmeng, and who had received confirmation of the news, couldn’t help but say furiously, “That stinky brat. We need to teach him a lesson when we get home. How could he not tell us about such a big thing?

However, he couldn’t contain his smile.

After all, it was Jiangzhou University they were talking about.

Even if the current Jiangzhou University wasn’t what it used to be, it was still one of the best universities in the entire Jiangzhou prefecture.

Now that his own child had become Jiangzhou University’s specially admitted student, it was only natural for him to feel extremely excited.

Beside him, Su Yunmeng also said fiercely with a smile from ear to ear, “Yeah, we should teach him a lesson!”

...

At about three in the afternoon, Nong Lejia greeted Ye Xuan and said, “Ye Xuan, let’s go. I’ll take you home. You can watch those videos later.”

Ye Xuan looked away from the virtual screen in front of him and said quickly, “That won’t be necessary, Brother Lejia. I’ll call a cab.”

He felt that he had learned a lot today.

After watching numerous combat videos of Ancient Wood Elves, he now knew how inferior he was.

However, these videos had also made his blood surge in excitement.

Through watching them, he foresaw his future self and all that he could accomplish.

“What do mean by ‘not necessary’? Starting today, taking you home is my daily task.” Nong Lejia chuckled. “I’m still looking forward to gaining some bragging rights when you become stronger in the future. Remember to not let riches or honors change you.”

“Alright then.” Ye Xuan smiled helplessly.

At the same time, as he was thinking about going home, he couldn’t help but think about the phone call he’d received earlier that day from his mother, who’d wanted to confirm the news.

“Well, this is a good thing after all. I bet they already have a cooked meal waiting for me at home,” Ye Xuan thought to himself.

Awakening the aptitude of Beast Taming, becoming a specially admitted student of Jiangzhou University, arranging his parents a new and easy job; this could already be considered a triple surprise.
