early morning.
Lu Yuan yawned as he walked out of the room, looking like he hadn't slept enough.
He was up until the wee hours last night, and the bed even collapsed, forcing him to spend the night on the sofa. The fact that he was able to open his eyes now was entirely due to his extraordinary willpower.
After washing up, Lu Yuan began to wander around the store.
He arrived at the store in the evening yesterday, preoccupied with the surprise Lu Zeyu had prepared for him, and hadn't had a chance to check out the store's details.
result.
When he saw the empty warehouse, his eyes widened in surprise.
What's going on?
Lu Yuan searched every shelf inside and out, and finally found only two bags of pet food that had become moldy.
"Even if business is bad, it shouldn't be like this, right?"
If you can't sell pet-related products, there's no need to stock up, but you should at least have some food to feed your cubs in the warehouse!
and.
Judging from how moldy this pet food looks, does the store not even have any baby pets?
He strode to the cultivation area and flung open the gate.
really.
There were only two pet cubs in the breeding area, and they looked like they were on their last legs.
Lu Yuan frowned and quickly stepped forward to check on the cub's condition.
Fortunately, neither of the two cubs was sick; they had just been starving for too long and were on the verge of starvation.
Remembering that he still had some pet food stored in the system's warehouse, Lu Yuan immediately took some out and fed it to them.
"What's going on with this store? Not only is there no stock left in the warehouse, but there are only two pet cubs left, and they were almost starved to death. It's obvious that no one has taken care of them for a long time."
Lu Zeyu arrived in Yandu only one day earlier than him, so it couldn't have been the Grand Elder's doing; there must have been a problem with this branch from the beginning.
"well!"
Lu Yuan sighed.
I thought that Yandu was a large city, and Wanshouge's branch would definitely be highly valued. Even if it couldn't make a fortune every day, it could at least maintain basic operating costs, right?
In hindsight, it's not much better than the Yunlei City branch back then!
Could the problem lie with me?
So he's just destined to be a hard worker!
Lu Yuan complained inwardly, but his hands didn't stop moving.
Before long, the two cubs, who had been on the verge of death, had eaten and drunk their fill and regained much of their energy.
"Not bad. Although they're still a bit weak, at least their lives are not in danger. They'll be fine after a few more days of rest." Lu Yuan clapped his hands in satisfaction. "Since we have nothing else to do anyway, why don't we just give these two cubs a mythical baptism?"
After closing the doors and windows of the cultivation area and exchanging some divine power points in the system, Lu Yuan opened the interface for Mythical Baptism.
The two cubs were not of high rank, so Lu Yuan did not intend to baptize them into high-rank cubs. He simply added a few points of divine power, intending to baptize them to the Xuanzhen level of potential and bloodline.
The baptism process was quick.
Lu Yuan was already quite adept at this part of the operation. In just a few minutes, both cubs had completed their baptism, and their potential and bloodline level had increased significantly.
Just as he finished doing these things, Mu Ruxing returned from outside with breakfast.
"Eat these freshly made fried dough sticks while they're hot."
...
After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, Lu Zeyu leisurely strolled into the store.
Seeing Lu Yuan acting as if nothing had happened, she immediately widened her eyes.
"What are you still doing here?!"
Hearing the sound, Lu Yuan looked up and saw Lu Zeyu with a look of disbelief. He chuckled softly.
"Are you surprised to see me? Do you think I should be dead?"
Lu Zeyu suddenly realized what was happening and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no, young master, you're joking. I'm just surprised that you're so hardworking, starting work so early..."
Lu Yuan glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Lu Zeyu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, subconsciously swallowed, and dared not even breathe loudly.
"What are you standing there for? Get to work!"
Seeing Lu Zeyu standing like a pillar at the shop entrance, Lu Yuan shouted angrily.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Watching Lu Zeyu's fleeing figure, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them, before withdrawing his gaze.
Alright, let's keep him here for a few more days.
Let's treat them as free labor, and see what other tricks the Grand Elder can pull.
When he goes to Longteng Academy a month later, it will be the day Lu Zeyu dies!
...
A low-key black luxury sedan stopped outside the pet store.
From the open car door, a long leg wrapped in thin black stockings slowly emerged.
Immediately afterwards, a mature woman dressed in a professional skirt stepped out of the car; her slightly tight-fitting shirt accentuated her stunning figure.
Zhu Jiayi adjusted her glasses, looked up at the signboard above the shop door, and only after confirming that everything was correct did she step into the shop.
Is anyone there?
Welcome!
Lu Yuan put down the ledger in his hand and looked up from behind the counter.
Hello, what do you need?
Zhu Jiayi looked Lu Yuan up and down. "Where's your store manager? I've come to pick up the bull I ordered last month."
"A wild bull?"
Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Of the two remaining cubs in the breeding area, there was indeed a bull cub, but the aura emanating from the woman in front of them had clearly reached the Xuanzhen level, and judging from her clothes and appearance, she was obviously a wealthy person. Why would she need a bull?
Seeing that Lu Yuan was standing still, Zhu Jiayi became a little impatient.
"Hurry up and bring the bull over! The hotel is waiting to cook for us!"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan finally realized what was happening.
So this woman bought the bull to eat!
Although he had heard that the meat of the bull calf was tender and could increase one's spiritual power after eating it, this was the first time he had ever seen someone specifically come to the pet shop to buy it. What kind of business was the previous shop owner doing?!
"I'm sorry, I just took over this pet shop and didn't know that the bull calf had already been reserved. I've just started breeding it, so I'm afraid I can't sell it to you at the original price."
Zhu Jiayi frowned.
The bull is just a mid-tier breed, and its breeding value is not high at all. The fact that the new store manager said this must be because he sees that she is in a hurry to use it and wants to raise the price on the spot.
Zhu Jiayi glanced at Lu Yuan with disdain, her tone slightly cold.
"It's alright, I need it urgently. Bring the bull calf over so I can take a look."
Seeing that the other party was adamant, Lu Yuan had no choice but to go back to the backyard and bring over the bull calf.
"Is this it? It's so skinny!"
Zhu Jiayi sized up the bull calf in front of her.
She did sense a special aura emanating from the bull calf, but she didn't think much of it.
Lu Yuan explained embarrassedly, "It was almost starving to death when I arrived. It's already a miracle that it survived."
Zhu Jiayi frowned slightly and sighed softly.
"Alright, alright, let's leave it at that! I already paid a deposit of one thousand to the previous store manager. Can you calculate how much more money I need?"
Lu Yuan stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Then I'll give you a discount, twenty million it is!"
