I Just Won't Play By The Book

Chapter 196 An Immortal Descended to Mortal World 1

At night, Ye Fan arrived at the newly opened theatre in Jiyuan Town. The scene in front of him was completely different from what Boss Yan had described in the afternoon. There was a long line in front of the theatre, enough to fill the entire theatre.

“Mr. Song’s idea is very useful.”

This made Ye Fan think about the idea that Mr. Song had given Boss Yan. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that unique Mr. Song’s idea was.

From what he knew, the purpose of running a business was to make money. He had to think of ways to make money. Cutting corner and selling inferior products were things that businessmen loved to do.

As for giving stuff away for free, Ye Fan had never heard of it before.

But as long as the theater was filled up with people, even if Boss Yan had to give some peanuts for free, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.

“Mr. Song is really amazing…”

Sighing in his heart, Ye Fan was about to leave, but he felt that Mr. Song’s idea was not just for this purpose.

Ye Fan could not buy a ticket, so he could only sit at the tea stall outside for four hours until the theater was dismissed.

Seeing that all the guests had left, Ye Fan was just about to go in and ask Boss Yan when he saw a person running out of the theater in a hurry and heading straight for the Taoju Inn.

That person was Boss Yan.

Therefore, Ye Fan paid for the tea and followed boss Yan back to the Taoju Inn.

Once Boss Yan stepped into the lobby, he quickly found Gu Qinghuan. He went up and bowed to Gu Qinghuan, saying loudly, “Sir, you are really a god!”

The surrounding guests had heard someone praised Boss Song many times, so they kept enjoying their meal and did not mind their conversation.

Ye Fan was the only one listening carefully from behind.

“Sir, you’re amazing. Even at our first day, our teahouse had never been so lively. When those people heard that we’re giving something for free, they all rushed here.”

Gu Qinghuan nodded and said with a smile, “I’m glad that it worked out.”

“Your trick is really brilliant! Although I gave away my peanuts for free, I sold hundreds of cups of flower tea today, which is more than all the cups I’ve sold since I opened my shop.”

Ye Fan suddenly understood after hearing that. Eating too many peanuts would make one thirsty. When thirsty, one would naturally want to drink tea, but tea… was not free. Moreover, the profit of tea was much higher than peanuts.

“Mr. Song is really a god…”

Ye Fan had seen it with his own eyes before. Mr. Song had told Boss Yan about this method in an instant without even thinking about it. However, this method was really successful and had helped Boss Yan a lot.

Seeing Boss Yan bow profusely, Ye Fan silently turned around and left the Taoju Inn.

At this moment, he yearned even more for the recognition of these three outstanding people. He also yearned even more for himself to become like them.

Three days passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the agreement.

Looking at Ye Fan standing in front of him, Luo Wenzhou asked, “Have you thought of the answer?”

Taking a deep breath, Ye Fan looked straight at Luo Wenzhou and shook his head. “No, I couldn’t figure it out.”

Luo Wenzhou was stunned for a moment. He really didn’t expect Ye Fan to give such an answer.

Without waiting for him to continue asking, Ye Fan said again, “I can feel that the three of you are guiding me with your heart, trying to let me understand what power is, but I’m really stupid. After comprehending for three days, I still haven’t truly understood it, so I don’t know how to answer the question you gave me.”

“This… is really unexpected.”

Luo Wenzhou recalled what his master had told him previously. As long as Ye Fan didn’t reply that he became stronger for the sake of revenge, then he would be considered to have passed the test. However, Ye Fan didn’t give an answer at all, then did he let Ye Fan pass or not?

Seeing that Luo Wenzhou didn’t speak for a long time, Ye Fan suddenly bowed deeply and said, “Although I haven’t found the answer, I still beg the three of you to give me a chance to continue listening to everyone’s teachings. I believe that sooner or later, I will understand what power is. I will also understand how I should use it after I possess

it.”

Luo Wenzhou blinked his eyes twice. He felt that this could be considered an answer and believed that his master would be satisfied.

Therefore, he nodded and said, “Your answer is not bad. Wait for me at the east gate tomorrow.”

After saying that, he patted Ye Fan’s shoulder and turned around to leave.

When Luo Wenzhou left, Ye Fan felt that his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his breathing was also getting faster and faster.

“I… I succeeded?”

For the past three days, Ye Fan could barely eat or sleep. He was still unable to decipher what the three gentlemen wanted to teach him. He did not think that he would be recognized with a made-up answer.

So, he decided to answer honestly and tell the three gentlemen that although he was very stupid, he was willing to learn.

This was already the best answer he could come up with, but this answer was actually a little opportunistic, so he was very worried that Mr. Lin would leave after criticizing him.

If things really turned out like that, Ye Fan believed that he would definitely break down, because he did not know when the next time such an opportunity would come again.

Now that he heard Mr. Lin approve of his answer, Ye Fan waved his fist happily.

“I succeeded!”

At the end of the second day, Ye Fan was unusually nervous. He slowly arrived at the east gate. He did not know what would happen next, but he knew that from today onwards, his life would once again undergo a huge change.

“Ye Fan.”
