Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

Chapter 74 The Zhao Family
Dust Dawn's Shanghai branch, top-floor office.

If Jiang Ya and Lin Jiayu were here, they would be absolutely astonished by the office's layout.

Comparing the penthouse offices in Shanghai and Bocheng, one finds that they are not entirely unrelated, but rather identical.

The office furnishings and items were exactly the same as those in the Bocheng office.

Actually, the design of this office was proposed by Mo Xie herself.

He was used to the way his old office looked, and he was afraid he would feel a little uncomfortable if it suddenly changed.

Mo Xie stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with her hands in her pockets, overlooking the Huangpu River.

Sunlight spills onto the river, shimmering like starlight and creating captivating ripples.

At the same time, you can also get a close look at the famous magic association in China—the Oriental Pearl Mage Tower.

Jiang Ting stood behind him, reporting on matters related to the Shanghai branch.

Mo Xie nodded from time to time, and frowned from time to time, making it unclear what his true feelings were.

"Chen Xi's first auction house in Shanghai officially opened a month ago. Would the owner like to go and take a look in person?"

"Okay, we can go take a look this afternoon."

Mo Xie nodded in agreement; he also wanted to go and investigate in person.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Please come in."

A female employee walked in and greeted her.

"Hello, boss. Hello, Mr. Jiang."

"Xiao Qian, you can't call me General Manager Jiang in front of the boss. You must add the word 'Agent' before it. That's the rule."

Jiang Ting, with a stern face, gave the female employee a serious instruction.

The female employee named Xiaoqian first glanced cautiously at Mo Xie's back, and when she saw that the boss didn't say anything, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay...acting as General Manager Jiang."

Jiang Ting nodded and looked at Mo Xie.

Mo Xie didn't turn around, but continued to admire the scenery outside the window, and said.

"No need to be so rigid, just call me by my usual name, I don't mind."

"No, rules are rules, and this is a matter of respect for the boss."

Jiang Ting shook her head, sticking to her beliefs.

I don't remember when this rule came about...

Mo Xie nodded, then turned to ask the female employee, Xiao Qian.

"Is there a problem?"

"Oh, the CEO of the Zhao Group knows that the boss is in Shanghai today and insists on seeing the boss. He's already in the reception room."

The CEO of the Zhao Group?
We're already in the reception room?!

Mo Xie was startled, but remained expressionless and nodded slightly.

"Okay, I understand. You may leave now."

After the female employee left, Jiang Ting led Mo Xie to the reception room.

Two people were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

One of them was a middle-aged man dressed in a suit and tie, with an air of confidence that suggested he was in control; he was clearly a successful person.

A young man sat next to the middle-aged man in a suit.

The young man had long, slightly permed curly hair and was dressed in trendy brand clothes, making him look quite handsome.

He was sitting with his legs crossed, engrossed in his phone, perhaps trying to flirt with some girl.

The footsteps grew louder as they approached, and the middle-aged man burst into laughter as he greeted Mo Xie upon seeing him enter.

"Hahaha! Kid Mo, it wasn't easy to get you to come to Shanghai!"

"Uncle Zhao, it's been a long time."

Mo Xie smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands firmly with the middle-aged man.

"Long time no see! You have to come to my house for dinner tonight. Your Aunt Bai has been talking about you for ages, saying she wants to let you taste her cooking!"

The middle-aged man patted Mo Xie on the shoulder and said with a smile.

The middle-aged man was none other than Zhao Yuzheng, the patriarch of the Zhao family and chairman of the Zhao Group!

After exchanging a few words with Zhao Yuzheng, Mo Xie looked at the young man behind him.

Zhao Yuzheng followed his gaze and then remembered that he had another son. "I almost forgot about you. Let me introduce you. This is the person I brought you to meet today, Mo Xie, the boss behind Chen Xi."

Zhao Yuzheng patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder and introduced him.

Feeling the weight on his shoulder, Zhao Manyan snapped out of his daze.

Even though she had accepted the truth, she still felt a little unreal and looked at Mo Xie with a puzzled expression.

"You're the world's most popular singer, the Evil Emperor? You're the handsome man with unparalleled looks? You're the mysterious boss behind Chen Xi?"

Zhao Manyan asked three questions in a row, leaving Mo Xie stunned.

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly spoke.

"If...the person you're talking about is correct, then it must be me."

"What nonsense are you spouting, kid? I'm warning you, don't let anyone know that Mo Xie is Boss Chen Xi!"

Zhao Yuzheng pointed at Zhao Manyan and solemnly warned him.

"I know, I'm not someone who can't tell what's important. But when I compare, I feel like I'm not your biological son."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuzheng immediately bristled and glared.

"If you could start your own company and make it big like Mo, I would give you half of my fortune and treat you like royalty."

Zhao Manyan fell silent instantly. He was indeed no match for Mo Xie, even his most prized handsome appearance was overshadowed.

Zhao Yuzheng turned his head and smiled apologetically at Mo Xie.

"Young Mo, this is my good-for-nothing son, Zhao Manyan. I apologize for bringing him here without your permission."

"The Zhao Group has helped us so much, and Chen Xi hasn't even had a chance to repay them yet, so why would she care about such a small thing?"

"That's good. My son is hard to discipline, so please bear with him."

Mo Xie smiled and shook his head, then stepped forward and extended his hand to Zhao Man, introducing himself.

"Hello, my name is Mo Xie."

Zhao Manyan was slightly taken aback when he saw the outstretched hand.

Without thinking too much, he reached out and shook hands with her.

"Hello, my name is Zhao Manyan."

Zhao Yuzheng looked at the two young men and nodded with satisfaction.

"Young Mo, what are your plans for today?"

"I'll probably go to Chenxi's auction house to take a look, but I need to find out the specifics."

“That’s perfect. Manyan is very familiar with Shanghai. Let him take you there. The two young people will have common topics to talk about.”

Zhao Yuzheng's eyes lit up, and he made the suggestion.

"Well, I don't mind..."

"Alright, it's settled then. Manyan, remember to bring Moye home tonight."

At Zhao Yuzheng's suggestion, Mo Xie and Zhao Manyan went to the auction house together.

In the car, Zhao Manyan took the initiative to start the conversation. He was also a very outgoing person, and he and Mo Xie became sworn brothers shortly after they met.

"Brother Moye, what type of magic did you awaken in high school?"

"do not you know?"

Mo Xie asked in confusion, "Shouldn't the fact that I awakened the lightning element have been exposed online long ago?"

"Oh, I don't really care about things on the internet."

"Yes, I understand. I've awakened the lightning element."

"Lightning element... Why is fate so unfair to me, making me awaken a Light element!"

Upon learning that Mo Xie had awakened the lightning element while he himself was the light element, Zhao Manyan immediately scratched his head in frustration.

But he didn't notice that Mo Xie's eyes had changed and his brows were furrowed.

"Um...excuse me, how old are you this year?"

"Sixteen years old, I'll be a junior in high school next semester, so I should be the same age as you."

The timeline... seems to be messed up.
