Chapter 185 Young Master, I Have an Idea
After Oscar finished speaking, Zhu Zhuqing and the other two also stared at Bai Yu with hopeful eyes. Did they want to wear these clothes?
Of course, they didn't want to wear them! Although before, they could have used Bai Yu's name to tell Flender that they couldn't wear these clothes.
But doing so would not only risk them being pointed at by the four substitutes, but also bring shame to Bai Yu, who would be accused of finding three women who didn't respect their teacher.
Therefore, under these circumstances, they forced themselves to endure the disgust and put on the shit-green team uniform.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and the others staring at him, Bai Yu knew that the joking had to stop, otherwise, after the gathering, they would definitely turn against him.
"Dean, these clothes are indeed a bit unsuitable. Not to mention that Xiao Bai and the others are unwilling to wear them; even if they were, it would affect next year's recruitment.
"With the strength of our team, first place might be a stretch, but securing a spot in the top five and striving for the top three is a certainty. So, normally, our academy will become famous this year, and next year's student enrollment is bound to be high.
"But if people don't come because of these clothes, how regrettable would that be? Dean, you need to weigh the pros and cons carefully."
As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, Dai Mubai and the others' eyes lit up. That's right, why hadn't they thought of that excuse?
If they had thought of it earlier, wouldn't they have already dealt with that stingy old man? Look at his conflicted shoehorn face now, it's truly a sight for sore eyes!
Flender was indeed very conflicted at this moment. He had planned everything, only thinking about saving money and earning money, and truly hadn't considered next year's recruitment.
But Bai Yu was right. With the strength of this group of Little freaks, even if Shrek was a third-rate academy now, it would definitely become famous this year. If he continued with this team uniform, wouldn't it affect future development? He was the Dean now!
"This... sigh, what should I do? The clothes can be changed, but I've already collected the money from those shopkeepers."
"If I go back on my word, the liquidated damages alone could bankrupt me!"
Flender scratched his head, his expression extremely pained. Why had he been so greedy for that little bit of money back then? Now, what's done is done!
Bai Yu waved his hand and chuckled softly.
"Hehe, this is easy. Dean, do you still remember your shop in Soto City? It didn't even have a name, just a mark hanging there."
"But passersby, seeing that mark, would know that what was sold inside was for Spirit Masters."
"Since that's the case, why don't you let them design a mark for their own shops, called a trademark? Then Xiao Bai and the others' clothes won't need words, just a few trademarks embroidered on them."
Flender's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his shoehorn-like face.
"Bai Xiaozi, your method is good. In that case, let Mubai and the others design the team uniform style themselves."
"And I, right now, will go find those shopkeepers and have them design a mark... a trademark for their shops!"
As Flender's words fell, he hurried out. Neither of them discussed what to do if the shops were unwilling.
It wasn't that they wanted to force them, but rather that the shops couldn't possibly be unwilling, because these people weren't sought out by Flender; they came forward themselves.
The Shrek Team's record in the Tiandou Great Spirit Arena over the past two years was evident to all. Apart from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, with whom they had an even win-loss record, all the rest were small fry.
Supported by such strength, Shrek Academy's reputation in Heaven Dou City was already considerable.
And these businesses coming to offer endorsement fees were partly to make their own names known and partly to invest in Shrek Academy.
After all, Spirit Masters also needed work. Investing in Shrek now meant that after the academy's students graduated, these businesses could receive recommendations from the academy and enjoy a certain priority.
Moreover, even if the names were replaced with trademarks, it wouldn't be a loss for them. In an era where everyone used names, their pioneering use of trademarks would also allow them to reap certain benefits.
"Alright, I've solved the problem for you guys. You can go design your team uniforms. Zhuqing, Rongrong, Xiao Wu, you three come with me. It's been a long time since we last met; I'll take you out for a stroll."
Bai Yu looked at Dai Mubai and the others, wearing their shit-green team uniforms, their faces showing a sense of relief. It was abstract no matter how he looked at it, and he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
He then quickly called out to Zhu Zhuqing and the other two, leading them quickly away from the training ground. If he waited any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold it in!
After Bai Yu left, Dai Mubai and the others also quickly departed, returning to their rooms, wanting to change their clothes. They truly didn't want to wear that damn shit-green for another second!
Finally, only Tang San and Tai Long remained in the training ground, their faces gloomy as they watched the backs of Bai Yu and the three girls, wishing they could just kill them.
Over these two years, Tang San had also realized that his Xiao Wu had probably left him and fallen into Bai Yu's embrace.
He had wanted to question Xiao Wu, but he was afraid it would make him even more despairing. If he didn't ask, he could still lie to himself; if he asked, wouldn't it be over directly?
That was his first love in two lives! She was both his cinnabar mole and his white moonlight. How could he bear to let her go!
"Young Master, are we just going to let this guy be so arrogant? Why don't you contact Master Hao Tian, and I'll go find my grandfather, then we'll find an opportunity to get rid of this guy!"
Tai Long moved closer to Tang San, looking at his ugly expression, and with a movement of his big head, he came up with a terrible idea.
Tang San's eyelids twitched, and he gave the fool a slightly speechless look, thinking to himself, if this move worked, would I need you to say it?
Tai Long, that fool, hadn't seen Bai Yu unleash his full power, but Tang San had. With Tai Tan's strength, he wouldn't even be enough for Bai Yu to fight with one hand.
Moreover, two years had passed, and he couldn't say for sure what Bai Yu's strength was now. He didn't want to end up being a hindrance instead of a help.
Most importantly, he couldn't find his father!
"Don't ever mention this again. If that bastard Bai Yu hears it, no one can protect you if he wants to kill you, not even your grandfather!"
"But then again, what exactly does this guy want to do? He clearly knows my identity, so why doesn't he make a move?"
"Is it because he looks down on me? Doesn't care at all? Heh, Bai Yu, since you're not making a move now, you'll definitely regret it later!"
As Tang San finished speaking, his eyes blazed with fire, and his teeth ground together, making a cracking sound.
In his mind, Bai Yu knowing he was Tang Hao's son and not making a move simply meant he looked down on him, treating him like a nobody.
As for why he was so sure that Bai Yu recognized him, this matter had to start two years ago, when Tai Long picked a fight and was knocked unconscious.
When Tai Long woke up, knowing he couldn't defeat Bai Yu, he activated his ancestral secret technique, the 'Call Dad' technique.
He directly called his father, Tai Nuo, but unfortunately, Bai Yu was no longer at Shrek Academy at that time, having gone to the Star Dou Great Forest. Tai Long couldn't find anyone to take revenge on, so he could only vent his anger on Tang San.
