"Clean up the store and get ready to reopen!" Lu Yuan gave the order directly.
Looking at the spirited Lu Yuan, Wang Ye stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Did he hear that right?
Is the young master planning to reopen the business?
How can they rely solely on these three pet animals that they haven't been able to sell even after keeping them in the shop for six months?
Is he crazy, or is the young master crazy?
Lu Yuan frowned when he saw that Wang Ye was standing still and not making any move.
"What are you standing there for? Get to work!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was serious, Wang Ye quickly tried to dissuade him.
"No, no, no, young master, you may be new here and not understand the pet market in Cloud Thunder City. With only the three pets left in the shop, you simply can't attract any customers!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan lowered his head and fell silent.
Wang Ye breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Thankfully, although the young master is a bit naive, he is at least able to listen to advice.
Just when Wang Ye thought Lu Yuan had given up, he saw Lu Yuan quickly write a note and hand it to him.
"Just follow the instructions on the note and go door-to-door to spread the word. Don't worry about anything else."
"But young master..."
"No buts, get on it right now!"
Lu Yuan raised his hand to interrupt Wang Ye, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing and his eyes sweeping over sharply.
"Yes, yes, young master, I'll go right now."
Wang Ye felt an intense sense of oppression for no reason. He subconsciously bent down and responded, then quickly ran away.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after he had run away from the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion.
I never expected that the young master would be so terrifying when he gets angry!
However, he also wanted to know what gave Lu Yuan such confidence that he could revive the dead branch.
Curious, he opened the note Lu Yuan had given him.
But when he saw what was written on the note, he froze on the spot.
Was the young master banished to this remote and impoverished place, Yunlei City, by his main family because he was too foolish?
...
The Li family, one of the four major families in Yunlei City.
Wang Ye stood nervously in the center of the living room, looking at the man sitting on the sofa.
"Master Li, our new manager of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion branch has come all the way from the capital. He happened to hear that the various academies just finished their awakening ceremonies yesterday, so he specially selected a pet beast with extremely high potential to sell. If your young lady hasn't found a suitable pet beast yet, why not come and take a look at our Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion?"
This passage was written by Lu Yuan on a note, and he specifically emphasized that Lu Yuan must convey it word for word.
This was all to highlight that Lu Yuan was a big shot from the capital!
While making the major families of Yunlei City wary of his identity, they also believe that he has excellent pet beasts, and rush to the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion to buy them.
That way he can take the opportunity to make a fortune!
Unexpectedly, Li Wei simply asked indifferently.
"I wonder what kind of pet Manager Lu brought?"
Wang Ye wiped the cold sweat from his brow and answered truthfully.
"Ice type".
Yesterday at the academy's awakening ceremony, Miss Li's awakened beast-taming talent happened to be of the ice attribute.
If the Beast Pavilion really has ice-attribute pets with great potential for sale, it would be a good thing for the Li family.
But……
Li Wei narrowed his eyes.
The probing gaze swept over Wang Ye from head to toe.
A few days ago, Li Wei received special news.
There was a brat at the headquarters of the Beast Pavilion who offended the young master of the Lu family in the capital. However, due to the reputation of the Lu family and the Beast Pavilion, he could not be dismissed directly, so he was reassigned to the branch in Yunlei City.
Under the guise of promoting him to store manager for training, they had actually sent messages to the major powers in Yunlei City, telling them to find a suitable opportunity and reason to get rid of him!
That way, even if something goes wrong, the Lu family and the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion can say that he was incompetent and offended people, so he deserved to die.
So when Wang Ye said he was there on behalf of the new branch manager, Li Wei didn't give him a friendly look.
"Is Manager Lu referring to those three useless pets that the store has been keeping for half a year without being able to sell them?"
Wang Ye lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.
He had no idea what Lu Yuan was really up to.
Seeing his expression, Li Wei snorted disdainfully.
"My Li family isn't one to be taken advantage of. Please leave!"
"Master Li..."
"see a visitor out!"
Wang Ye tried to explain, but Li Wei wouldn't listen and had him thrown out.
Looking at the tightly closed door in front of him, Wang Ye sighed.
well!
What kind of mess is this?!
...
After being expelled from the Li family, Wang Ye visited other families and forces in Yunlei City.
But without exception, they were all kicked out.
They might even have to endure the other party's ridicule and sarcasm.
Wang Ye went from being apprehensive at the beginning, to feeling ashamed later, to now being indifferent to everything.
I'm numb.
...
Lu Yuan worked for half a day and finally managed to pack up the shop and his luggage before dark.
He even fenced off a special area in the backyard to keep his pets, and moved the Ice Crystal Bird and two other pets there.
This also makes it convenient for him to perform mythological baptism at any time without being discovered by others and causing unnecessary trouble.
However, this makes the sales and display area in the front hall look very empty.
Lu Yuan thought that when there were more guests in the future, he could transform it into a reception hall for guests to rest.
While making plans in his mind, Wang Ye dragged his exhausted body into the store.
"I'm back……"
Lu Yuan turned his head to look behind him and found that only Wang Ye was there. The customers who were rushing to buy things that he had imagined did not appear.
"Why are you alone? Aren't there any interested buyers?"
Wang Ye slumped into a chair and shook his head in disappointment.
“I did as you instructed, but…”
Wang recounted everything that had happened to him in detail, emphasizing the inexplicable hostility he felt towards him from various powerful families.
After listening, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
Under normal circumstances, his carefully crafted rhetoric would have been enough to attract the attention of all the major families and forces in Yunlei City to come and investigate.
However, he did not receive the response he expected, which was obviously due to external interference that he was unaware of.
The only people he could think of were the elders in the capital who coveted the position of head of the Lu family.
It seems these people had no intention of giving him a way out!
If they want to expand the branch in the future, they will probably encounter considerable resistance.
Since that's the case, then don't blame him for turning his back on you!
Seeing Lu Yuan's gloomy expression, Wang Ye realized even more that the shop might not be able to stay open. After hesitating for a while, he tried to ask.
"Um... young master, could you please settle my salary for the previous six months?"
Lu Yuan glanced at him and replied frankly.
"I have no money."
Wang Ye: ? ? ?
"But it will be here soon."
Lu Yuan looked up at a sports car that had just parked in front of the store, a slight smile playing on his lips.
A guest has arrived.
