"The King."
"I have to go out to run some errands, so I'll leave the shop in your care."
"Don't forget what I told you before: move the cubs from the backyard breeding area to the front hall and arrange them properly."
Lu Yuan straightened his black casual suit and gave instructions to Wang Ye.
"clear!"
Wang Ye nodded solemnly, then grinned and leaned closer.
"Boss, you're dressed so smartly, are you going to see a girl?"
Lu Yuan rolled his eyes at him.
"I'm going to take care of some important business!"
He and Zhao Qianqian had arranged to go today to complete the procedures for opening an online store. Since it involved the public image of the Divine Beast Pavilion, they naturally had to dress more formally.
Seeing that it was almost time, Lu Yuan and Wang Ye said goodbye and took a taxi to the agreed location.
Ten minutes later.
As soon as Lu Yuan got out of the car, he saw Zhao Qianqian waiting downstairs at the Guangrong Building.
"Manager Lu, over here!"
Lu Yuan strode over and said, "Sorry to have kept you waiting?"
"No, I just arrived too!" Zhao Qianqian laughed. "Did you bring all the documents?"
Lu Yuan nodded, "I've brought everything you asked me to prepare. Shall we go and complete the formalities now?"
At this point, Zhao Qianqian suddenly looked at Lu Yuan with some trepidation.
"Um, Manager Lu..."
"My dad is also at the company. He'd like to meet you first, is that alright?"
Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.
Zhao Qianqian's father is the owner of the Guangrong Building in front of us, and also the current head of the Zhao family.
It is said that...
Since Zhao Qianqian's father became the head of the family, the Zhao family's status in Yunlei City has risen rapidly, and it even shows a tendency to rival the Li, Kong, and Zhou families.
Such an important person wants to see him?
Seeing that Lu Yuan remained silent, Zhao Qianqian thought that her request had displeased him, so she quickly spoke up to explain.
"Manager Lu, please don't misunderstand. I told my dad that I bought Xiao Bingbing from you, so he just wanted to thank you in person and get to know each other."
Lu Yuan chuckled softly.
"You don't need to be so nervous, just lead the way."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qianqian was overjoyed and quickly led Lu Yuan upstairs to the president's office.
Lu Yuan followed slowly behind her, looking completely nonchalant.
In fact, she had already started planning it in her mind.
As the chairman of Guangrong Group, Zhao Qianqian's father must be extremely busy. How could he possibly thank him in person simply because he sold Zhao Qianqian a pet cub?
This kind of excuse can only fool a naive child like Zhao Qianqian.
The other party must have other motives.
But what exactly was the reason...?
He had his suspicions, but he would only know for sure after meeting in person.
"Manager Lu, we've arrived."
I was just thinking about it.
Zhao Qianqian led Lu Yuan to the office door, knocked twice, and then pushed the door open and went inside.
"Dad, I brought Manager Lu with me!"
A middle-aged man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looking down at Yunlei City.
Upon hearing Zhao Qianqian's voice, she turned around and met Lu Yuan's gaze.
"Manager Lu!"
"Welcome, welcome! Please have a seat!"
Lu Yuan accepted Zhao Xiong Yu's invitation to sit down and went straight to the point.
"Mr. Zhao, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhao Xiongyu did not answer immediately, but instead pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Lu Yuan.
"Manager Lu, how about trying the tea I recently sourced?"
Lu Yuan glanced at it, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and sincerely praised it.
"Excellent tea! Mr. Zhao has excellent taste."
Zhao Xiongyu smiled slightly, "If Manager Lu likes them, I can give you some."
Lu Yuan said without any hesitation, "Then thank you, Mr. Zhao."
After thanking them.
Lu Yuan leaned back on the sofa and began to slowly sip his tea.
This tastes much better than the cheap tea in the store.
The reputation of the Divine Beast Pavilion has gradually spread throughout Yunlei City, and the facilities in the store must be upgraded accordingly.
The first thing to do is to change to a better quality tea.
The tea in the store right now is of extremely poor quality!
Seeing Lu Yuan's appearance, Zhao Xiong Yu felt unsure and hesitated, unsure of how to speak.
Lu Yuan lowered his head and gently blew on the tea, his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Mr. Zhao, you want to ask about the pet cubs, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiongyu was startled.
He suddenly looked up.
They met Lu Yuan's all-knowing gaze.
"It seems that Manager Lu has already guessed my thoughts."
Zhao Xiongyu gave a wry smile.
He originally wanted to first get closer to Lu Yuan and gain the upper hand before extracting the secrets of the Divine Beast Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan had already seen through his trick.
"Mr. Zhao, there's no need to beat around the bush. Zhao Qianqian and I are friends. Just ask me directly."
Lu Yuan's expression remained unchanged.
As soon as he entered the office and made eye contact with Zhao Xiongyu, he guessed the purpose of the other party's meeting with him.
really.
The next second, Zhao Xiongyu asked directly:
"Manager Lu, could you tell me where all the pet cubs with divine beast bloodlines in your store come from?"
"Of course I bred them."
Lu Yuan appeared nonchalant, making it impossible to discern the truth behind his words.
"Manager Lu is really joking."
Zhao Xiongyu chuckled lightly, clearly not believing it at all.
He had studied Zhao Qianqian's Ice Crystal Bird in detail.
It was because divine beast blood was forcibly injected into the original species, causing the Ice Crystal Bird to undergo a mutated evolution.
In the Ling'an Continent, the most thorough and professional Beast Taming Breeding Center has tried a similar method of raising divine beast cubs.
It ultimately ended in failure.
However, the Ice Crystal Bird that Lu Yuan sold used the same breeding method, which allowed the bloodline of the divine beast Azure Phoenix to be perfectly integrated with it, and even forcibly increased its potential beyond its level, without producing any adverse side effects.
How could a master who has achieved such amazing accomplishments be a mere twenty-year-old boy?
Even if we take a step back and assume that Lu Yuan really was the one who cultivated the Ice Crystal Bird...
He would then be expelled by the Lu family in the capital to Yunlei City to take over a dilapidated branch.
Shouldn't they have taken the initiative to approach the Beast Taming Center?
At that time, let alone the Lu family in the capital.
Even the highest authority in the Ling'an Continent doesn't dare to touch him easily!
How could they have been forced into such a destitute state?
No matter how I think about it, it doesn't make sense.
“Mr. Zhao, I’m telling the truth. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do.”
Lu Yuan shrugged helplessly.
He was absolutely telling the truth!
But people don't believe him, what can he do?
"Manager Lu, I sincerely wish to meet the master who bred the Ice Crystal Bird. I hope you can help me out. We can discuss anything afterward."
Zhao Xiongyu's attitude was sincere, but his tone left no room for refusal.
As long as they can get in touch with this master, the Zhao family can be completely transformed.
At that time, he would dare to venture into not only a small Yunlei City, but even the capital city!
to this end.
If Lu Yuan is unwilling to cooperate, he wouldn't mind leaving him here to drink a few more cups of tea.
