Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 19

Chapter 19: Selling lessons to teach others how to make money will surely mean no loss.

“The money is in hand~.”

“Zhi Long, where do you want to go?”

In the room, the shopkeeper was excited and planned to leave. Similarly, the handsome scholar smiled at the little snake crawling out of his arms.

“Young Master… Will the plan you give him succeed?”

Long Zhi didn’t know trade or business and didn’t understand the core of Bai Yu’s strategy.

She couldn’t help but ask, “If the strategy is so powerful, why doesn’t he implement it himself?”

Bai Yu shrugged, “A good strategy needs a good executor, and if it fails, it’s the problem of the saddle and the executor.”

“Ideally, my horse and strategies are good, and failure would be the fault of the saddle and executor.”

“Even if it doesn’t work, if he learns something, it’s not too bad!”

Shopkeeper Li could become the city’s largest restaurant if the plan goes well. However, Bai Yu couldn’t guarantee the strategy’s success in an ancient environment. His strategies, while clear in theory, may face challenges in execution.

Shopkeeper Li was impressed, but Bai Yu was cautious, stating success depended on the executor. Bai Yu intimidated shopkeeper Li, who imagined the benefits and a bright future. However, the impact of minor details could be overlooked. Their deal concluded, and Bai Yu felt disconnected from the outcome.

Long Zhi thought, “Sure enough, the son is a bad guy!”

“Zhi Long, let me ask you, what is my purpose?”

Bai Yu took out a stack of banknotes, saying, “The strategy’s success doesn’t matter to me. I just need him to believe and pay me.”

“The rest is irrelevant to me!”

“Wait for him to succeed or fail… I’ve already left~.”

Investing and implementing by yourself may result in losses or failure. It’s not guaranteed to make money. But selling lessons to teach others to make money is a sure way not to lose!

Bai Yu understood this deeply.

“You said you didn’t lie…”

The pure little snake coquettishly complained to the young master.

Bai Yu smiled, “Zhi Long, there is a paradox here.”

“If a compulsive liar says, ‘I never deceive people,’ is that statement true or false?”

“This statement is a lie, but for a deceiver, lies are their truth, aligning with their persona!”

“So, the statement ‘I never deceive people’ has no basis for credibility.”

Long Zhi: ???

The little snake said, “It’s so itchy. My brain is about to grow out!”

Bai Yu extended his hand, and the little snake climbed onto his wrist.

Bai Yu smiled, “I never lied to you~ Zhi Long!”

“Well…”

The little snake felt her heart beating faster for some reason.

“Then… don’t lie to me, my lord!”

“Good!”

“Real?”

“Fake.”

Long Zhi: …

The son is a bad guy!

“Guest officer and shopkeeper Li asked me to deliver what you requested!”

While chatting, knocks on the door were heard, and a waiter delivered a chicken wing. A bit confused, the waiter wondered why the troublemaker was treated as a distinguished guest. Today, the shopkeeper returned excitedly and ordered to present a chick.

“Okay, thank you for your hard work!”

Bai Yu took the chick, looking completely different from yesterday’s rude appearance.

The waiter excused himself, “Uh… oh, you are busy, I’m leaving!”

“Go ahead.”

Bai Yu brought the chicken in, placed it on the table, and asked Long Zhi with a playful smile, “Zhi Long, do you think there will be any benefits if I eat it?”

“Is it more delicious than regular chicken?” He teased.

The chicken, seemingly understanding Bai Yu’s intentions, clucked in panic and fled around the house. At the same time, only the hint that Bai Yu felt appeared in his mind.
