It's the 21st century, how come there are still people selling dragon eggs?

Chapter 67 Can you soothe a dragon? Can you rub a dragon's back?

Upon hearing this question...

"How could that be? I must have been mistaken. It must have just been some kind of long-bodied bird."

Li Chengkun decisively denied it.

You must be mistaken! You must be! There can't be any dragons in this world!

"Oh……"

Seeing his boss's confident declaration, the man nodded thoughtfully.

Sit up straight and fasten your seatbelt.

"Boss, are we going straight to Repulse Bay now?"

"You've already contacted the smuggler, so we can just board the ship, right?"

The man started the car while turning his head to ask a question.

"Just go straight there."

"I definitely can't stay in Donghai City anymore. I'll go to another city and hide for a few years before making any moves."

Li Chengkun waved his hand impatiently and spoke.

Today has been truly unbelievable... First, someone in my own family turned themselves in, then I witnessed a "dragon appearing in the sky," and then my car disappeared...

Donghai City is really weird! Pshaw!

"oh."

Upon hearing Li Chengkun's words, the man nodded in agreement.

The man then stepped on the gas.

...

"Bang!"

After getting out of the car, Yu Xiao casually closed the car door.

I glanced at the deserted construction site around me.

"Yes, I am indeed smart."

"Driving a car and teleporting at high altitudes means you don't have to worry about being seen, and it's also fast. You can get to Repulse Bay in less than ten minutes."

Yu Xiao nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the construction site exit.

Teleportation on flat ground is easily visible, so why not just teleport from the sky?

And I teleported while sitting inside the car...it was so comfortable!

A few minutes later.

"Is that Gu Nianyao you mentioned on the phone earlier?"

Yu Xiao saw a woman in business attire standing in front of his company from afar, and he made a guess.

After waving to Gu Nianyao, Yu Xiao stepped forward.

He had just walked up to Gu Nianyao.

The golden dragon was in a good mood after happily devouring 55 head of cattle.

"?"

"Okay, I knew this guy was just putting on an act for me..."

Looking at the pop-up data panel, Yu Xiao's lips twitched imperceptibly.

Just a moment ago you were looking back every few steps, seemingly reluctant to leave, both angry and aggrieved. Now that you've had a meal, you're in a good mood again, right?

I inwardly scoffed at it.

"Gu Nianyao, right? I'm Yu Xiao, the one who was on the phone with you just now."

Yu Xiao looked up at Gu Nianyao.

Upon hearing this...

"Ah? Oh, I am, I am..."

Gu Nianyao snapped out of her daze and nodded quickly.

So young? Starting a company? Where did this rich kid come from? There are so many cases of rich kids squandering their money on startups, how can there be a rich kid this arrogant?

Gu Nianyao was somewhat puzzled.

But when she thought of herself, Gu Nianyao felt a deep sense of envy.

...

A dozen minutes later.

Zhenlong Consulting Company, a meeting room that was mostly decorated.

"Graduated from Tunghai University..."

Yu Xiao looked at the resume in his hand with a strange expression.

Objectively speaking, Tunghai University is also a first-tier university.

But the two people Yu Xiao had previously "recruited"... one was from MIT, and the other was from Tsinghua University...

Then Tunghai University seems a bit lacking...

Gu Nianyao, sitting across the conference table, heard Yu Xiao's words and saw the strange expression on his face.

"I know this may not be much, but I can really do anything. My strengths are that I can endure hardship and I can accept overtime. Most importantly, I am quick-witted and very eager to learn, really."

"If you think I'm a recent graduate with no work experience, then a probationary period is fine too. During the probationary period, I can only take half the salary... no, a third is fine too!"

Gu Nianyao immediately became a little anxious.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiao looked up and glanced at Gu Nianyao in surprise.

Sigh, it seems the overall environment is getting tougher year by year.

His gaze lingered for a few seconds on the confident yet uneasy expression on Gu Nianyao's face.

"No, I was just saying."

Yu Xiao shook his head and put the resume on the table.

"Let me ask you a question, do you know how to scrub someone's back?"

"? This doesn't mean..."

"Yes, give the dragon a back rub."

"?"

"Do you know how to identify potential customers for dragon eggs, offer consultation services to customers who are currently incubating dragon eggs, and conduct door-to-door consultations with customers who have already hatched dragon chicks?"

"? No, your company is...?"

"True dragon breeding and consultation, what did you think that was?"

"what?"

Gu Nianyao stared wide-eyed at Yu Xiao sitting opposite her.

Wait, isn't this a pet company? I thought the phrase "True Dragon" was just for pretentiousness, since barbers are practically business owners these days...

I hesitated and struggled for a long time.

"Is the dragon you're talking about real? Are you sure it's not special effects or some kind of pet?"

Gu Nianyao spoke cautiously.

"I don't do anything deceitful."

Yu Xiao rolled his eyes.

He paused after saying that.

"Make the dragon happy, rub its back, maintain regular customer relationships, provide customers with consultation on raising real dragons, and also be responsible for finding customers who are interested in buying dragon eggs. To add, because the cost of raising dragon eggs is extremely high, those with a net worth of less than 10 billion are excluded..."

Yu Xiao continued to speak.

As the number of dragon eggs increases, buyers for dragon eggs will inevitably be found all over the world.

Then the employees of these companies will be able to greatly alleviate some of the pressure on Yu Xiao.

However, Gu Nianyao was stunned by what she heard.

What is all this nonsense? The more I listen, the more it sounds like a scam.

"I……"

Gu Nianyao hesitated.

After thinking about it, I remembered the various shell companies and anti-fraud information I had seen on Douyin before.

"I'm sorry, I think I might need to think about it first..."

The next moment, Gu Nianyao raised her head, looked at Yu Xiao, smiled apologetically, and was about to stand up.

Pshaw! Your explanation sounds so mysterious, I can tell it's a scam at a glance!

I'm just having trouble finding a job, is it really necessary to break the law?

However, Gu Nianyao only got halfway through her sentence.

"A minimum of 2 yuan per month, the more you attend, the higher your performance bonus, three days off a week, seven hours a day, fourteen days of paid annual leave, and triple overtime pay."

Yu Xiao sat motionless across the conference table and spoke calmly.

This sentence was said.

Gu Nianyao paused for a moment.

next second.

"Boss, when do we officially start work?"

Gu Nianyao turned her head to look at Yu Xiao and spoke with a serious expression.

Is this the kind of treatment you're getting?

As long as you can guarantee it's not a scam, I'd even praise a dragon for being handsome if he slept next to me!

...

After talking with Gu Nianyao for more than half an hour and giving her some instructions,

Realizing that no one else was applying, Yu Xiao decided to leave after Gu Nianyao left.

After calling An Ming to tell him that he would be going to the research base, Yu Xiao headed towards the abandoned construction site.

"Based on my experience, it's unlikely that no one would believe a job with such a high salary and benefits, since I'm the one paying for it."

"So the reason there haven't been any applicants so far is most likely because their previous companies are making excuses..."

Looking down at the road, Yu Xiao pondered in his heart.

We walked for several minutes.

As Yu Xiao stepped into the abandoned construction site, he looked up, ready to find the location of his car.

"Hurry! Get ready quickly! The Public Security Bureau has already started traffic control! If we're any later, we might not even be able to board the ship!"

"The smuggler is already waiting at Repulse Bay Pier 2, but he's only giving us 35 minutes at most. He'll leave once that time is up!"

A urging voice came from an abandoned building more than 300 meters away to Yu Xiao's ears.
