Bu Yuan Gui had been feeling a bit sentimental about Bu Yingshu's recent results in the Martial Arts Pavilion, but the moment he heard the first thing his good daughter said, he could only sigh helplessly: "Yingshu, look at your dad—do I look like an Immortal Emperor to you?"
Bu Yingshu sized him up carefully and answered with all seriousness: "You do look a teeny tiny bit like one…"
Bu Yuan Gui couldn't hold back a laugh: "You… ai, Zhang Yu's unlimited salary-raise authority has nothing to do with me."
Bu Yingshu also sighed, thinking to herself, "Ai, of course. How could something like this ever be pinned on my useless dad?"
Then Bu Yingshu pressed on, "Dad, then why do you think Zhang Yu could get unlimited salary-raise authority?"
"I was watching this the moment it happened," Bu Yuan Gui analyzed. "According to reliable intel I have, that raise authority was initially applied for on Zhang Yu's behalf by the Reform Faction's Fa Liuyuan."
