Chu Chen boarded the Swift Eagle and set off towards Food is Heaven.
A mont later, Chu Chen appeared inside a private room on the second floor.
At this mont, the sound of high heels clacking on the ground ca from outside the room, and then the door was slowly pushed open.
A girl wearing a black form-fitting long dress, paired with black high heels, with a beautifully made-up face appeared, looking extrely beautiful.
Chu Chen couldn’t help but be taken aback as he looked at the girl, clearly dazzled by her.
"Ming Yue, please have a seat." Chu Chen said with a gentlemanly smile as he pulled out a chair.
Ji Mingyue nodded politely and sat down slowly, then smiled and asked, "Tell , you didn’t call here just for dinner, right?"
Chu Chen replied with a smile, "Isn’t it a bit of a mood-killer to ask so directly?"
"Co on, we’re so familiar with each other. Just say what you have to say."
"No rush, it’s dinner ti anyway, let’s talk as we eat."
He had invited Ji Mingyue to discuss a cooperation, so he naturally needed to be a bit more lavish.
Soon, the table was filled with a dozen delicious dishes, both at and vegetarian.
These dishes were the signature offerings of Food is Heaven, all made with ingredients imbued with Star Power, and naturally, the price was quite beautiful as well.
Ji Mingyue looked at the sumptuous dishes and said with a smile, "Oh, you’re so generous today, which is rare."
Chu Chen wasn’t embarrassed by this, but instead smiled and said, "These are all for you, go ahead and try them."
Unable to refuse him, Ji Mingyue picked up her chopsticks and started tasting the dishes.
After eating her fill, Ji Mingyue put down her chopsticks and smiled at Chu Chen, "Now you can tell what you really want from ."
Seeing that she’d eaten well, Chu Chen then smiled and said, "The main reason I called you out today is to discuss a cooperation."
"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation are you talking about?" Ji Mingyue asked sowhat surprised.
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen repeated his idea of wanting to open a slaughterhouse.
Ji Mingyue asked in confusion, "Why do you want to open a slaughterhouse?"
Chu Chen’s expression didn’t change at all upon hearing this, as he had already prepared an answer for this question.
He imdiately said in a deep voice, "Lei Yao is actually a Guardian Beast with a ntal issue. When it was just born..."
Chu Chen crafted an incredibly tragic story for Lei Yao.
Ji Mingyue was moved to tears as she listened; she wiped the corners of her eyes and said hoarsely, "Are you sure this thod can help Lei Yao with its ntal problem?"
"Of course, I’m not opening the slaughterhouse just for Lei Yao’s ntal problem. My mother is preparing a botanical garden and needs a lot of Star Beast blood to cultivate plants, and Lei Yao can cultivate Evil Qi through killing, allowing it to resist mind control skills, which could yield unexpected results in battle," Chu Chen added in a low voice.
In reality, only relying on the story he concocted could he fool Ji Mingyue, but the Ji Family becoming one of the top three families, Elder Ji’s wisdom is unquestionable.
What he said afterward was actually all true—mixing truth and lies makes it harder for people to discern.
Chu Chen knew well that these reasons wouldn’t fool Elder Ji.
However, due to past relations, Elder Ji would still lend a hand to help him.
Chu Chen never considered himself above using such connections.
He could pay back in kind after his strength increases in the future.
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. Don’t worry about this matter. I’ll talk to Grandpa when I get back, I’m sure he’ll help you."
"Then I’ll leave it to you."
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Ji Mingyue quickly departed.
At eight in the evening, Ji Family.
Ji Jingfeng put down the docunts in his hand, rubbed his sowhat sore eyes, and was about to take a break.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Jingfeng, hearing the knock, said sowhat helplessly, "Co in."
The door opened, and upon seeing that it was his granddaughter, Ji Jingfeng imdiately changed his deanor.
He looked at Ji Mingyue with a doting smile and said, "Co sit over here, have you finished your cultivation classes?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue nodded with a smile, "All done."
"Alright, now tell , why have you co to see ?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue didn’t state the reason, but instead acted coyly, "Grandpa, I’ve missed you, so I just wanted to co and see you."
"Haha, of course, you can, I have a eting soon, so if you have anything to say, you should say it quickly."
Ji Mingyue showed a hint of an awkward smile upon hearing this.
She hemd and hawed, "It’s nothing big, just that Chu Chen asked for a small favor."
Ji Jingfeng showed imdiate interest upon hearing this and promptly asked, "Oh, tell about it."
Ji Mingyue imdiately recounted the whole matter word for word.
Ji Jingfeng did not respond upon hearing this; he tapped his fingers on the table as though pondering sothing.
For him, this matter was just a trivial issue.
He wasn’t weighing the pros and cons, but rather pondering Chu Chen’s implausible reasoning.
Recently, Chu Chen demonstrated his prowess in the Secret Realm, saving more than a dozen geniuses. Now, many wealthy and influential figures in Celestial Star City hope to ally with him, aning he could use these connections to pursue more profitable ventures.
There must be a secret behind this matter involving Chu Chen.
However, his choice to approach their Ji Family indicated his trust in them.
After pondering for a mont, Ji Jingfeng said, "Chu Chen saved you again in the Secret Realm this ti. It seems the Chu Family really is your lucky star, our Ji Family always repays favors, so naturally, I will assist in this matter."
Upon hearing this, Ji Mingyue was imdiately overjoyed. She quickly ca beside Ji Jingfeng and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, you’re the best!"
Ji Jingfeng laughed heartily and said, "Haha, you’re my dear granddaughter, if I’m not good to you, who else would I be good to?"
A mont later, Ji Mingyue left the room with a joyous stride.
Seeing his granddaughter leave, Ji Jingfeng then dialed a number.
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed smartly in a suit appeared before Ji Jingfeng, wearing gold-rimd glasses and neatly combed hair, the epito of an industry elite.
"Master," the middle-aged man said respectfully.
"Hmm, I rember we have a slaughterhouse among our assets, right?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly replied, "Yes, Master, the slaughterhouse profits about a million annually."
Ji Jingfeng frowned upon hearing this, "How many Star Beasts can it slaughter daily, and where is it located?"
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly, and he quickly answered, "Master, the slaughterhouse is relatively small, slaughtering over fifty Star Beasts daily, and it’s located on the outskirts of the city."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingfeng said solemnly, "We have a plot of land near the Cyan Dragon Daoist School. Move the slaughterhouse there and expand its scale. This matter is rather urgent, make sure to follow it closely and implent it quickly."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly nodded in agreent.
Although he didn’t understand why the Patriarch was so focused on this matter, his job was to implent it promptly.
Ji Jingfeng’s thoughts were simple: either he doesn’t help, or when he helps, he ensures the other party rembers it well.
It’s important to note that the land near the Cyan Dragon Daoist School is extrely valuable, and opening a slaughterhouse in such a pri location is entirely wasteful.
