“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?
