Chapter 821 - 820: For the Sake of Business
Fang Yushan’s face darkened because he knew Tian Zhi was right. Beisitian had never come forward to publicly declare her identity from the start, and her reasons for doing so were almost certainly to avoid disturbing the Military Department and others.The young Great Power, rumored to be extremely arrogant, showed an attitude of calmness and composure, making Fang Yushan’s impression of Beisitian vastly different in an instant.
He understood that Beisitian was not intentionally being low-key because there was no need; he could roughly guess her purpose for coming, which was to assist Commander Luo.
As for the reason Beisitian was treated so rudely, Fang Yushan had a hunch. Although Zhan Lanqi hid it well, the intention could still be perceived.
Zhan Lanqi just realized the gravity of the situation now. She knew things were not going well because, if it were an ordinary family, even if the patriarch was slighted she would not be terrified, but now the one being slighted was the patriarch of the Qingyu School!
The weight of that was different!
More so, Zhan Lanqi intentionally slighted Beisitian, allocating her a room in a very poor location — the one furthest from the elevator, and the room’s structure compared to other rooms had some flaws, as it had two steps inside, making it appear less open.
In short, the accommodations provided to Beisitian were the worst out of the Mystic Doctor facilities. Zhan Lanqi just wanted her to understand her status, but she never expected that her status was beyond her imagination.
If Zhan Lanqi were not in this circle, perhaps she wouldn’t be so clear about the existence of the Qingyu School, but because she deeply understood what identity and status meant in this circle, she’s truly becoming anxious, especially seeing Grandpa Chu being so courteous to Beisitian, her legs were feeling weak.
Fang Yushan, having been a general for many years, despite not having this be the first misuse of personnel, found this instance the most embarrassing!
Fang Yushan casually glanced at Zhan Lanqi, and she immediately felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her, chilling her from head to toe.
She knew that on this path, it was not merely about being here... It shouldn’t be this way; she simply didn’t know Beisitian’s identity!
Yes, she didn’t know. Beisitian, that arrogant woman, simply didn’t tell her; she must have deliberately withheld it to make her look foolish and embarrassed!
Like most people, Zhan Lanqi had a common flaw of looking for a ’culprit’ when making mistakes and unwilling to bear the responsibility.
Beisitian became her ’culprit’ first and foremost.
But that thought was merely her own, as outsiders would see the situation as it truly was.
Fang Yushan refrained from immediately holding Zhan Lanqi accountable because he considered her other status, the Great Power of the Ancient Wood School was here; he couldn’t disregard them.
Besides, if he held Zhan Lanqi accountable because of Beisitian, then the Ancient Wood School might develop a grudge against the Qingyu School.
This mission itself was quite challenging; he couldn’t add more obstacles himself.
Being the Great General, having seen his share of storms, Fang Yushan thought a lot in a moment and personally apologized to Beisitian, which showed considerable respect to Qingyu.
Beisitian smiled faintly. It was indeed the Military Department’s neglect, but given that the person now was Luo Xudong’s superior, she wouldn’t display too much negative emotion.
"General Fang, there’s no need to worry about it. I am here for business."
Beisitian’s words left Fang Yushan feeling somewhat embarrassed, as her remark indirectly expressed dissatisfaction, yet told him she wouldn’t fuss over it, for the sake of business!
Having said this, Fang Yushan did not pursue the matter further, though the Military Department would certainly give Beisitian an explanation for these events.
Beisitian glanced at Zhan Lanqi and said calmly, "You call me sister-in-law, and I’ll give you some advice: focus your mind on one matter, and you’ll achieve success."
Focus your mind on one matter...
Zhan Lanqi froze, her face suddenly turned red, as Beisitian had seen through her thoughts but had done nothing about it!
She wasn’t foolish; a little thought revealed the reason, Beisitian simply didn’t care about her at all!
Zhan Lanqi couldn’t articulate her feelings. Her cheerfulness was all a front; inside, she was quite competitive, wanting everyone to see her as the best and most trustworthy, but her personality prevented her from gaining others’ closeness and trust.
Her talent and abilities also prevented her from gaining widespread recognition among most people around.
Though it was painful, she had never been ignored like this before, never!
Beisitian wasn’t the type to suffer losses without reason; if an ant crawled onto your shoe, would you think it was stepping on your foot?
To Beisitian, Zhan Lanqi was just that jumping ant, having no impact on her at all, hence finding it quite unnecessary to waste time dealing with her.
Like now, there was no need for further actions; merely revealing her identity to everyone was enough to render all Zhan Lanqi’s past efforts meaningless and reduce her importance in the Military Department.
Although Chu Zhicheng arrived later, he noticed things weren’t right. His impression of Zhan Lanqi wasn’t deep; he only knew that she should be a junior of the School who entered the Military Department, a long-term strategy of the patriarch, and also a backup plan.
However, clearly now, the Military Department would no longer heavily utilize Zhan Lanqi; a single mistake here could have serious consequences.
It’s fortunate that Beisitian is generous and not a person who fusses over every little thing, otherwise, with issues between the Military Department and Qingyu, beyond the current task, future problems could arise.
Lin Yunping, standing at the back, furrowed his brows; given Beisitian’s status, she shouldn’t be so petty, should she?
However, Chu Zhicheng didn’t say anything, and neither did Lin Yunping.
After the initial shock, Lin Yunping was calm again. He was studying Beisitian closely, yet found it difficult to associate her with being a Great Power.
Especially given their ages were similar, Beisitian appeared even younger, looking delicate and beautiful; some might even believe she was of a younger generation, making it hard for him to fully accept Beisitian’s identity unless he directly witnessed her abilities.
Recently, he heard a new term, ’hype’.
Although this term is typically used for entertainment performers, it’s not impossible for young people like Beisitian to resort to such methods.
After all, even if Beisitian began learning from the womb, it wouldn’t seem feasible to achieve such accomplishments in her twenties.
