Chapter 257 Borrowing A Pet

“Boss, please don’t misunderstand.”

When Liu Ping saw Su Ping’s ruminative expression, his face changed slightly. He said at once, “I am indeed from the Liu family. But the Liu family has many branches. Our family has been separated from Liu Yuan for several generations and our relations are distant. I have no ill intentions here. I promise!”

Su Ping looked at him deeply and said indifferently, “It doesn’t matter if you have a deep relationship or not; you are my customer if you pay. As long as you don’t break my rules, everything will be fine.”

Liu Ping heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. “Boss, I like your straightforwardness!”

Su Ping didn’t say anything else. He called Tang Ruyan and got her to take the Shadow away.

Tang Ruyan had already pricked up her ears to listen to their conversation. When she heard the youth say something about his Liu family, she immediately guessed that he might be a descendant of a big family clan. She immediately approached them with a smile on her face, thinking that he was at least a descendant of a reputable family. Even if one had never eaten pork before, one should have seen pigs run before, right? He should have heard something about her, right?

She knew that she was considered one of the best among the younger generation of the large families in the Subcontinent District.

“Hello, please give me your pet.”

Tang Ruyan’s heart was filled with joy, but she pretended to be cold. This was her usual expression when she was outside all year round, so it was easy to recognize her.

Liu Ping looked over and was shocked.

Tang Ruyan was delighted to see his expression.

Liu Ping turned to Su Ping and exclaimed, “Boss, where did you find this attendant? She’s so beautiful!”

He had been intimidated by the Inferno Dragon at the entrance and had not carefully observed this store. He had not expected that apart from having top-grade pets, even the service staff members were of the highest quality!

With such good looks, she could definitely debut as a celebrity! Su Ping glanced at Tang Ruyan and said, “I picked her up by the roadside and made do with her.”

Liu Ping was startled. He gave Su Ping a thumbs up. “Nice!”

Tang Ruyan listened to the two of them from the side. Dark clouds gathered above her head, and she almost went berserk.

She bit her lip when she saw Su Ping’s askew gaze. She felt that Su Ping had seen through her intentions. That casual glance had a hint of warning. She was peeved.

What are you looking at!

I’ve been standing here for so long. What kind of customers are you attracting with this shabby shop of yours? None of them have any acumen. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have done this!

She stomped her feet, turned around and dragged the Shadow away.

The Shadow was a little reluctant to part with its master, but it sensed that the creature pulling it was extremely terrifying, and it could only look at its master with tears in its eyes as it bade him farewell.

After sending a mental thought to comfort his Shadow, Liu Ping waved his hand and said his goodbyes.

After watching the Shadow leave, Liu Ping

ed to Su Ping and said, “Boss, please take care of Shadow. If you need my help, feel free to look for me. This is my number.”

Su Ping nodded. He just had to register the contact number in the customers’ records.

Liu Ping hesitated for a moment, but he still wrote it down. Although he was young, he had many titles on him. Apart from being a battle pet warrior, he also had a position as a manager in his family branch’s company. His contact details were usually kept secret.

Su Ping took a few glances and put away the customers’ record book. “I will feed your Shadow some pet food during the training process, according to the situation. The pet food expenses are clearly priced. There will be video recordings during the feeding process. Come over tomorrow and see the results of the first phase of training.”

Liu Ping was well aware of the numerous procedures of the “top 10” combo. He had also read the list of pet food used by Su Ping’s store.

Although the price of the pet food was extremely expensive, they were part of the combo’s price. He had no choice but to accept it. After all, no matter what, the maximum he would pay was 30 million. Even if he had to spend 30 million to exchange for a spot, he would have profited from it.

This way, his status in the clan would rise to a whole new level, and his alloted resources would be greatly increased, the benefits far exceeding 30 million. “No problem. I’ll come over tomorrow?”

Liu Ping was a little surprised. How much time was there between today and tomorrow? How could he see the training effects in such a short time?

“Yes, tomorrow.” Su Ping nodded.

Liu Ping took a few glances at Su Ping. He nodded after confirming that he was not joking. “Okay, I’ll wait for you tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

After sending Liu Ping off, Su Ping continued to entertain the customers behind him.

Su Lingyue leaned over and asked curiously, “Brother, that person is from the Liu family? Who is Liu Yuan that he was speaking of?”

As Su Ping registered a customer, he said, “The owner of Primo.”

“The owner of Primo?” Su Lingyue was surprised. She had heard of this large chain store numerous times. Moreover, they had just competed with them; they had crushed them with discounts.

“How did you know?” Su Lingyue looked at Su Ping strangely. They had never interacted with Primo before, so how could Su Ping pay attention to this? Even though they had just competed, Su Ping had been busy registering the customers. How could he have time to check?

“I searched online. How else would I know?” Su Ping snapped. “When did you investigate it?” “Yesterday.” “Yesterday?”

Su Lingyue was shocked.

Yesterday, Mu Shuangwan’s endorsement advertisement hadn’t been released yet, and the store hadn’t been officially promoted. How could Su Ping have thought about investigating Primo?

Could it be that Su Ping had expected to have a conflict with this store today?!

She looked at Su Ping suspiciously. Since when did this guy become so smart? Can he divine the future?

DIL

Su Ping ignored Su Lingyue. He told her to play elsewhere and not disturb him.

Su Lingyue pursed her lips and returned to the lounge in a huff. She then went online and continued to pay attention to what was happening online. If anything were to happen, she could warn Su Ping in time.

At the Liu family manor.

This was the Liu family’s headquarters. Although it was called a house, it was actually a large garden.

It took more than ten minutes to circle the place in a sports car. The Liu residence was located in the Uptown’s most luxurious Dragon Head District.

At this moment, a luxury car sped into the Liu residence.

Following the winding garden scenery, it circled around the waterfall and artificial rockery, the pond, and arrived at an exquisite villa.

There was a rush of greenery outside the villa. The villa looked like an ancient wooden house. A few guards wearing green battle armor stood at the entrance. They were the Liu family’s most elite Blue Dragon Guard. They were very powerful; each of them was an advanced battle pet warrior!

The luxury car stopped.

Liu Yuan walked out of the vehicle.

“I want to see the clan master, please pass the message.”

“Wait a moment.”

The guard turned around and entered the wooden villa.

A moment later, the guard came out and gestured to Liu Yuan. “The clan master is waiting for you inside.”

Liu Yuan tidied his clothes slightly and entered the villa. He went up the wooden stairs to the second floor and saw a white-haired old man sitting in a pavilion upstairs. He was drinking tea and playing chess.

The one playing chess with the white-haired old man was a purple-shirted old man. He was short, but his face was ruddy. His long and narrow eyes flashed with sharpness from time to time.

Liu Yuan’s expression changed slightly when he saw the purple-shirted elder. He hurriedly said, “Greetings Clan Master and Senior Purple Dragon.”

The purple-shirted old man turned his head slightly and glanced at him. His expression was gentle as he said, “Ah, Liu Yuan.”

“Senior, I wish you the best in health,” said Liu Yuan immediately.

The clan master was staring intently at the chessboard. His brows furrowed even more tightly. After a moment, he suddenly loosened the chess piece in his hand and coughed lightly. He turned to Liu Yuan and said, “Why are you here this late?”

Liu Yuan glanced at the purple-shirted old man next to him. He hesitated for a moment and said, “Clan Master, I would like to borrow your pet.”

“Oh?”

The clan master raised his eyebrows and said, “Borrow my pet? Do you want to fight with others? Is it the Mu family or the Qin family?”

Liu Yuan looked a little embarrassed as he said, “I’m not fighting with others. I’m borrowing your pet to help preside over the situation in the store. The Elite League is about to begin, and all the shops in the base city are doing their best to show their might. The competition is huge, so I…”
