Chapter 9: The Heaven and Earth Principle of Scooping Up Oil from Water

  “……”

  Xiaoyao fell silent for a moment before speaking in a daze: "Big sister, how did you end up here? And what's with the injuries on your body?"

  "It's just a small injury, I was just in a fight outside and came to get some medicinal wine to drink. Didn't expect to run into you little scoundrel here trying to swindle people." This beautiful figure is none other than Mo Jia's eldest sister, Mo Yu, and her tone of voice is very casual, after all, this kind of thing is a common occurrence for her.

  "Drinking medicinal liquor..." Xiao Yao was somewhat speechless.

  "Of course, he's been drinking medicinal liquor! Otherwise, how could he have recovered so quickly!" The young lady said directly, "You little scoundrel, I didn't know you were also capable of embezzling funds. Now that I've caught you, have I ruined your good fortune?"

  "As a house servant, if you don't know how to skim the oil from the water, then what's the point?" Xiao Yao replied, seemingly thinking that it was a given for a house servant to know how to do so.

  "With this tone of yours, it seems like being a parasite is a good thing. You're really something else." The young lady took the medicinal wine and drank a few mouthfuls before saying to Xiao Yao.

  "Great sister, it's a good thing to scoop up oil and water!" Xiao Yao replied, as if it were really the case.

  "How can I put it?"

  "Think about it, if we can't make a profit, would we lower the price? In that case, the price would definitely be the original one, and since we want to make a profit, we would definitely lower the price, take some for ourselves, and let our family spend less. This is a win-win situation."

  "This sounds like it makes some sense!" The young lady thought for a moment and agreed with Xiao Yao's reasoning.

  That's right, if there's no oil and water, then the housekeeper won't care about the price, after all, it's all from the master's house!

  "Moreover, because we want to make a profit, this thing will definitely be seriously inspected. If there's a problem and it's discovered, not only will we be punished, but we'll also have to spit the oil back out!"

  "This..."

  "Moreover, bonuses can boost our positivity and motivate us to complete tasks in the shortest time possible!"

  “……”

  "Skim off the oil..."

  "Alright, alright, stop it! If you continue to talk like that, I'll kneel down and beg you to spare my life! You little scamp's eloquence is not bad!!"

  "Thank you for the compliment, Miss! Eloquence is also a skill that our family's servants need to have, so I'll try to improve it bit by bit!"

  “……”

  This kid is too strong, I've never seen a housekeeper like this before. He was caught stealing oil and water, but he can still make the act of stealing sound so great.

  The boss of Huang's pharmacy is going to turn into an idol, with exclamation marks in his eyes!!!

  "Alright, I don't care about you either. As long as it doesn't harm the family's interests, do whatever you want! And what are you doing this time? I remember that Dan Pharmacy has too much stock, so they're supposed to stop for half a year and shouldn't be buying any medicinal materials." The young lady looked at Xiao Yao with some curiosity.

  She had put the matter of scooping up oil and water to one side, after all it wasn't her responsibility. Even if it were her responsibility, Xiangyao's way of scooping up oil and water didn't harm Mo Jia's interests but instead brought benefits to Mo Jia, so it was within the allowed scope.

  No matter what kind of family, they all turn a blind eye to such a gold digger!

  No one would be foolish enough to stop it, as this would only reduce their own interests and also undermine morale.

  This way of scooping up oil and water is a win-win situation, and it can also make things perfect, as long as the host has a good temperament, they won't care about it!!

  When the water is clear, there will be no fish!!

  Of course, you can't be greedy with the oil and water, you have to know when to stop. Xiang Yang did this very well, and it seems like he never let Mo Jia down.

  In his own words, I just use my own ability to earn some benefits that I deserve!!

  "I'm helping Third Young Master with his purchases. He's currently undergoing a medicinal bath to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, hoping to participate in the Dragon Gate Competition." Xīao replied.

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

  "Of course it's important, it's a grand event of the Tianfeng Nation, an opportunity for everyone to make a name for themselves and become famous, it's...". Xīao began to speak about the benefits of the Dragon Gate Competition, something that everyone already knew.

  "Spare me, do you think I don't know these things? Do I need you to remind me?" The young lady said with a bad tone.

  "Ah, I thought you didn't know, otherwise why would you ask?"

  "..., okay, when I didn't ask! Will Third Young Master have any aftereffects from using the medicinal bath?" The young lady returned to the topic at hand, which was what she was concerned about.

  "It won't be a problem, Third Young Master seems to be doing fine and is making good progress, he can achieve his goal!" Xiao Yao replied.

  "Completing the goal... this is really tough!!" The young lady furrowed her brow and took another sip of medicinal wine. Although the medicinal wine didn't taste very good, compared to medicine, she still preferred it a bit more.

  "It's not difficult, right?" Xiao Yao said absent-mindedly.

  "How can it not be difficult, the Dragon Gate Competition is not simple, with so many people participating nationwide!!" The young lady said irritably, while at this time, the others in the Huang family pharmacy were preparing the things that Xiang Yao wanted.

  "Yes, everyone in the world knows that." Xiangyang replied casually while waiting for something.

  "Shouldn't everyone in the world know that all the participants are not ordinary people, and even if he participates, he will still be drowned out." The young lady continued to say.

  "I know!" Xiangyang nodded, but his eyes continued to gaze inside.

  "What else can you say? How could he possibly win!"

  "But Third Young Master only wants to participate in the Dragon Gate Competition, not necessarily to win it. This goal can still be achieved, right?" Xiao Yao replied nonchalantly.

  "Ah......" The young lady was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have always thought that winning the Longmen competition was the goal, "Is this all he wants?"

  "What do you think it is?" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment, looked at the big sister, "Proving one's worth doesn't necessarily require victory, participating is a form of proof. The process is more important than the result!!"

  The young lady fell silent, carefully recalling Xiangyang's words, and in them, she seemed to have gained some insight.

  "Xiao Yao, this is the medicine you wanted, shall we deliver it to you or would you like to arrange for a car yourself?"

  In silence, Huang's pharmacy has already recovered, and they can't wait for the eldest sister to think things through, they still have to continue doing business.

  "I'm fine myself, this time I'll use the company's to come out, you just help me move it up there!!" Xiao Yao said, leading people over.

  "Alright!"

  "Let's go back together!" The young lady chased after Xiao Yao and said.

  "?" Xiaoyao found it a bit strange. Logically speaking, the eldest sister wouldn't return home until nightfall, what happened today?

  "What's wrong, Miss is tired today and wants to go home to rest? Is that not allowed?" The young lady seemed to understand Xiao Yao's words and gave him a glance.

  This glance is not to be underestimated, and I don't know how many people want this charming glance from the young lady. However, Xiao Yao knows that he is not worthy of receiving it, not only because of their difference in status but also because this young lady's "hobbies" are somewhat different.

  "Go ahead, of course! You're the young lady, whatever you say goes. Only thing is, this is a cargo truck, you might not be used to it." said Xiao Yao, he could only drive out a cargo truck after all.

  "It's all right, I don't mind!" The young lady shook her head and said with a smile.

  "Then let's go!" Xiao Yao didn't say anything else. He couldn't possibly ask the young lady to stay behind, and besides, this was originally on their way anyway, what was there to refuse?

  "Little one, where is your snack?" The big sister suddenly remembered the food next to Xiao Yao while on the road. Originally, she wanted to use it to kill some time.

  Eating is very popular, especially among girls, even with big sisters of this type.

  "That foodie seems to have been taken away by someone, never mind it." said Xiao Yao casually.

  "…who was it? Let me go take care of them, they actually dared to grab something that belongs to someone I care about." The young lady got angry.

  Is Xiangyao her person? Literally speaking, yes, it's one of her little homes.

  "I don't know, anyway it's often taken away and comes back at night!" said Xiao Yao carelessly.

  "It seems you don't care about it." The young lady looked at Xiao Yao.

  "I'm not concerned about what that foodie is doing, I think we should be concerned about the person who's taking it away..." Xiao Yao lashed out at the "cow" pulling the cart and said to the young lady.

  "Why?" The young lady looked puzzled.

  "Eating is its only skill, it can just eat and it can keep eating non-stop!" Xiao Yao replied.

  "What's wrong with this one too?" The big sister was still confused.

  "Miss, you're from a wealthy family, so you don't know the concept of not having enough food! Eat it all and it will devour everything, if there's not enough food, it'll even eat furniture or houses..." Xīao Yáo replied with some emotion, surely there must be some unbearable past experiences in between.

  "......" The young lady seemed to understand a bit, but she found it hard to believe that the little thing could eat so much.

  If Xiang Yang knew what Dà Jiě was thinking now, he would definitely say loudly that this glutton can eat things that you can never imagine, and it's completely appropriate to describe him as a bottomless pit.

  ……

  At this time, in a wealthy family in the city, the young lady had just finished her bath and immediately ran to a place to see the lovely little monster she caught today.

  As soon as she entered the door, she saw her mother standing on one side with a pale face, and the little monster she had caught was now eating something with a "ba-da-ba" sound, looking very cute.

  This made the young lady like it even more!!

  She didn't know at this time that this little cutie had a special lethal power...
