Chapter 3274 — A Whimsical Notion
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
But things were different now. Without this money, there would be none to buy automatic medicinal cauldrons, and so Chairman He had come in person to Conch Group to conduct the drug transaction.
Naturally, Chairman He was a peak late Heaven Rank Great Perfection expert, which was why he dared to come alone. Anyone else would truly not have dared set foot here! Yet it was also precisely because the Overseas Cultivators Association was powerful—and because this was their first time doing business with Conch Group—that the general manager was so cautious. Fearing the other side might turn on them and swallow them whole, he had decided to hold the transaction at Conch Group's headquarters.
"Very well. Since we both understand the situation, there's no need for further talk," the general manager said. "Chairman He, shall we proceed with the transaction now?"
"Yes, that works." He Dantou nodded. "But first, I ought to be allowed to inspect the goods, no?"
"Naturally, no problem." The general manager nodded. Inspecting goods before buying was a rule observed in nearly all transactions—goods first, payment after. There was nothing unusual about that.
With that, the general manager beckoned to Fanny. "Fanny, go and bring out the goods."
"Yes, boss," Fanny said with a nod, then turned and went into the office's inner room.
"Let me help you," Wei Zhao said hurriedly, seizing the opportunity.
He had already observed earlier that in the outer part of the general manager's office there was no safe. Clearly no one would place a safe holding documents in the outer room; it would always be kept in a place inside the office beyond the reach of outsiders.
Fanny raised no objection, letting Wei Zhao follow her into the inner room. The general manager, too, saw nothing improper about it. Secretary Lu's elder sister was one of his concubines and had already borne him a son, so his trust in Secretary Lu was in no way inferior to that in Fanny.
Moreover, Secretary Lu had always been an eager, diligent young man—otherwise, even as a brother-in-law, the general manager might not have thought highly enough of him to entrust him with important tasks and arrange for him to learn at Lute's side, all in preparation for higher positions in the future.
Wei Zhao and Fanny entered the inner room together, and Wei Zhao spotted at a glance the safe near the desk. Unfortunately, this safe employed dual verification—password and fingerprint—both of which were required.
Of course, Wei Zhao could simply crack it by force, but that was certainly not an option now. Fanny was present, and even if she were not, there would be no time.
What to do? How could he get his hands on that yellow document inside the safe? If only he could retrieve objects from a distance—just by thinking of it, he could take the yellow document from the safe. How wonderful that would be!
Eh? A sudden inspiration struck Wei Zhao! His jade pendant… he wondered whether it could accomplish this.
Ordinarily, when Wei Zhao stored things in the jade pendant's space, he used his willpower. If he saw an object before him, he need only think of storing it in the pendant's space, and the object would slip smoothly inside—no need for him to lift a finger.
Now, then—if Wei Zhao thought of the yellow folder inside the safe, could he make that folder enter the jade pendant's space as well?
