Phoenix patted Tang Fei on the shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, once we are at New Star, I’ve got your back."
Tang Fei bowed deeply and replied, "Thank you, Your Highness."
"General Tang, please rise," Phoenix gestured with her hand.
Tang Fei stood up, and the two exchanged smiles.
That sense of camaraderie from fighting side by side and solving puzzles together was truly wonderful.
Tang Fei pointed at the documents on the table and said, "I haven’t signed them, I left them for you to sign."
Phoenix was about to persuade him otherwise, but seeing the half-smiling, half-mocking look in Tang Fei’s eyes, she instantly understood his intention and said, "Okay, I’ll hold on to them for you. Whenever it’s appropriate, I’ll hand them over to you."
Phoenix also understood that Tang Fei couldn’t sign.
If Tang Fei were to take over the vast Yan family’s assets, it would indeed be too shocking. He had only been at New Star for a few days, and had suddenly attained financial freedom?
What would the people of Phoenix City think of him then? What would the Emperor of the Empire think?
Who could truly rest easy with a man so cunning and manipulative close to the Princess?
Phoenix taking over would not cause such troubles as she was, after all, the Empire Princess. Manipulating a situation to gain some wealth for herself—that would not come as a surprise, would it?
Whether it was cunning manipulation or her status as a princess, executing this "transaction" would not surprise anyone.
The only downside was that the Princess’s reputation might suffer, earning her a reputation for being ruthless and vengeful...
"Why make distinctions between us?" Tang Fei waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "If it weren’t for your protection, who would even consider me? This should rightfully be yours."
"What’s meant to be yours will be yours. I won’t dispute these things with you," Phoenix said, her heartbeat quickening from Tang Fei’s words "Why make distinctions between us?" His blunt way of speaking... Was it intentional or not...
Who used to dare to talk to her ?
On New Star, the other noble heirs were desperately trying to show their cultured and scholarly demeanor in front of her, but he was just desperately flaunting his unrefined and uncultured nature.
"Alright," Tang Fei nodded, "then let’s save it for Little Fatty to use for getting married."
"And you?" asked Phoenix.
"With my devastatingly handsome looks, do I need to spend money to get married? Anyone marrying me would have to bring along a house, a car, and rings..."
Phoenix pulled out two transparent cards from her pocket and said, "These are your and Little Fatty’s identity cards, the information has already been entered into the Empire’s database, you can check it online..."
Phoenix extended her right hand to Tang Fei and said, "Mr. Tang Fei, congratulations, from today on, you are a citizen of New Star."
Tang Fei grasped Phoenix’s hand and said, "No, I belong to Phoenix."
"Am I not a man of the Phoenix Empire?" Tang Fei exclaimed, "Where did you register my nationality?"
Enjoying the Little Princess’s embarrassed state was indeed quite amusing.
Phoenix glared at Tang Fei and said, "Get ready with Little Fatty, I’ll take you both to the school for the assessment..."
Seeing the skeptical look in Tang Fei and Little Fatty’s eyes, Phoenix awkwardly explained, "The school has agreed to provide admission slots, provided you both pass the assessment criteria set for transfer students..."
Phoenix was also secretly annoyed inside. Shang Xiulin was an old fox who was impervious to influence. Despite using every trick in her book, she couldn’t convince him to let Tang Fei and Little Fatty enroll directly.
Once all this was over, she’d see how she’d deal with him...
She’d have to talk badly about him in front of his wife every day.
