After hanging up the phone on his watch, Li Ran practiced magic for a while, and then Li Ran took Xiaobai back to the city defense department.
"Xiaobai, I have something to do. How about I take you back first?" Li Ran said, touching the little axe on his shoulder.
"Stinky Xiaoran, you promised not to leave me, humph..." The little white tiger said in a voice transmission with bared teeth.
"Uh, did I promise that? Why don't I remember it..." When Li Ran wanted to argue, he saw the little white tiger stretch out its right claw, and then sharp claws appeared from it, so he had to give up.
"I'm really helpless. Xiaobai, you just have to be obedient. It will only take a short time. After we're done, I'll go home to pick you up, okay?" Li Ran said helplessly.
It took Li Ran a long time to deal with the little white tiger and send it home, and then he flew towards the Sea God Palace alone.
…
Poseidon Palace.
When Li Ran arrived here, he saw from afar the general manager of the Sea God Palace branch waiting here, and next to him stood a chubby boy.
After the Shanghai Shrine party ended last night, Li Ran was asked by the general manager to have a private chat, and he did not refuse. After all, the general manager treated him to a free meal and it would not take up much time.
There was not much communication between the two sides. The person in charge of the Poseidon Palace branch requested a meeting with Li Ran, as if he had something to say. After Li Ran agreed, the two sides agreed to meet in three days.
But for some reason, he hurriedly contacted Li Ran this morning. He originally wanted to pick up Li Ran in person to show his sincerity, but was rejected by Li Ran. After all, he was not in the city.
Seeing Li Ran coming, the two men came forward with smiles on their faces. The slightly plump young man in the lead stretched out his right hand and shook it towards Li Ran with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Martial God! I apologize for not welcoming you from afar! I wanted to pick you up directly, but I didn't expect you to be training outside the city at this time. It really makes me ashamed. I wish I could work half as hard as you do!"
Li Ran also smiled and shook hands, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality last night. I was just in the mood, so I have to work harder!"
"Haha, you're too modest. No one who ranks first on the comprehensive list is not hardworking. It's really a shame to have you here today!
Oh, by the way, Your Excellency Wushen, my name is Hai Zian, and I’m the person in charge of the Zhehang Haishen Palace branch. You can just call me Zian. Come, let’s go in first!”
The atmosphere was harmonious. Li Ran followed Hai Zian to a secret VIP meeting room. Hai Zian then brewed two cups of tea and handed one to Li Ran with a smile, saying,
"God of War, this is the spiritual tea I brought from home. It is a strange spiritual tea grown in the depths of the ocean. Please try it..."
"Just call me Li Ran, it's awkward to call me Martial God..." Li Ran said as he took a sip of tea. Actually, he wanted to drink it in one gulp, but after all, he still had to pay attention to his image here.
"Brother Ran, let me call you that. You are older than me anyway, so it's quite appropriate to call you that, haha!" Hai Zian smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits, looking very much like the fat guy in TV dramas who has a kind face but a dagger hidden in his smile.
"How is it, Brother Ran?" Hai Zian asked.
"The taste of the sea is so refreshing, so intoxicating, so relaxing, so unforgettable..." Li Ran still likes this tea very much:
"By the way, just say whatever you want to say. No need to be so polite!" Li Ran took another sip and asked directly.
Hearing Li Ran's words, the little fat man quickly said:
"That's right. This will make things awkward. I don't like beating around the bush. This time, I just want to ask Brother Ran for a favor. Of course, I'll pay you a fee: one million contribution points plus 10% of the profits from the Zhehang Sea God Palace branch!"
"Oh, what's the matter? You are so generous. Such a large sum of money is more than enough to hire a high-level expert, right?" Li Ran was a little tempted.
When Hai Zian saw that Li Ran was moved, his heart also became lively.
You should know that the geniuses at the top of the list basically come from wealthy families and have no shortage of skills and resources!
After all, those who can reach that kind of strength at the same level cannot be truly born as commoners. They must have been accepted as disciples by powerful people since childhood, or have joined a major force.
He was just trying it. Even if it didn't work, it was a rare opportunity to have a good relationship with such a monster.
Hai Zian said with a smile: "Brother Ran, do you know our Sea God Palace?"
Li Ran shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I've only been practicing for a short time and haven't paid much attention to these things."
For some reason, Hai Zian felt that Li Ran was showing off and couldn't even find a good excuse. What did he mean by he had only been practicing for a short time?
Doesn’t this mean that without much practice, he has already become the number one second-level person in the entire Blue Star?
Hai Zian was complaining madly in his heart, but he kept smiling on the surface and said:
"Then let me tell you, Brother Ran. My Sea God Palace is one of the top ten forces in China and one of the top 100 forces in the world. Although ordinary people think we are a chain enterprise, we are actually a family group that spans various fields!"
Li Ran also became interested: "Oh?"
Seeing Li Ran's interest, Hai Zian continued, "Take the branch I'm in charge of as an example. It's not just the Poseidon Palace Hotel; it's just our iconic building!
We also engage in various businesses such as elixirs, spiritual tools, technology, spaceships, transportation, etc.!"
Hai Zian's words shocked Li Ran. He suppressed his inner restlessness, raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Such a huge force, and you actually want to give me 10%? What do you want to do? Tell me, although I am short of money, but..."
Hai Zian also took a sip of tea, and suddenly a silly smile appeared on his chubby face. He said, "Brother Ran, I'm telling you this, please don't laugh at me!"
"You say!" Li Ran said you have successfully attracted my attention!
Hai Zian said with some embarrassment but with great determination: "I want to be in control of my own life! I don't want to marry into another country!"
"Puff..." It wasn't that Li Ran couldn't help himself, it was just that he hadn't expected it. He had imagined that Hai Zian was trying to fight for the position of Patriarch for the family, and he had also thought about recruiting him as his follower, but he had never imagined it would be like this...
Hai Zian seemed to have been prepared. He held up the spiritual energy passport to protect himself, and then controlled the spiritual energy to pour the tea sprayed by Li Ran into the dilaki bucket in the distance. His skillful move was heartbreaking.
"Yes... I'm sorry, Zi'an, I didn't mean it..." Li Ran said embarrassedly.
Hai Zian propped his chin up with both hands and said depressedly: "It's okay, I'm used to it. It happens every time, but it's unavoidable. Brother Ran, do you think it's funny too?"
"It's really not that funny, just a little shocking..." Li Ran said seriously.
"Alas..." The little fat man sighed: "I, Hai Zian, would rather die than marry!"
"Why!" Li Ran asked curiously, "Is the woman on the marriage party unsightly?"
