"Is this just drunken talk, Brother Huang?" With the alcohol going to his head, Yezi seed a bit bolder than usual. Since he joined Huang’s Breeding, he had been diligently working on breeding matters, maintaining a good reputation both publicly and privately.
Yezi’s face flushed, and he unsteadily placed his hand on Huang Tengchong’s shoulder.
"Truth cos out when you’re drunk; I’m speaking from the heart right now, kiddo. Whatever you want, just ask. Our brotherhood is so close that we can even share won, let alone anything else," Huang Tengchong burped, and ixin, who was nearby, turned pale upon hearing this and hurriedly took a sip of her drink. It felt like a thousand knives twisting in her stomach.
"Look at what you’re saying, Brother Huang, it’s really nothing big. I just want to ask for a few days off for the New Year," Yezi giggled foolishly, his eyes catching the siblings’ ixin and her brother’s fleeting change of expression from the corner of his eye.
"I thought it was sothing serious. It’s just leave; it’s simple. Tell secretly, did you make plans with your girlfriend? Bring her out soti; she’s been hidden away for so long. Are you afraid I’d steal her from you?" Huang Tengchong had seed to highly value Yezi these past months, introducing him as his own brother in public and behind closed doors, yet he never let his guard down.
How did Huang Tengchong make his fortune? It was by swallowing up all of Uncle Lu’s assets. The more such a person, the smaller and more vigilant his heart. Huang Tengchong suspected so connection between Yezi and Uncle Lu, and was always wary, only allowing him to get involved in breeding hairy crabs and secretly checking on Yezi’s background.
Yezi is from an ethnic minority in the Southwest, his family dealing in small jewelry and pigeon breeding, carrying with him a red-haired pigeon he brought from ho.
His family in the Southwest of Guizhou are all still there, including a one-year-old little sister. He ca to Beijing alone to find his childhood sweetheart, a girlfriend. But his luck had been bad, he didn’t find his girlfriend upon arrival in Beijing; instead, her family looked down on him, prompting him to strive to make sothing of himself.
The information above did not vary much from what Huang Tengchong had people find out, so he believed most of it, though he wondered sotis, since Yezi was quite handso and should have had no trouble with won. Many of the younger female staff at Huang’s Breeding desire the ’old cow eating young grass’ scenario, but he showed no interest. Could it be that his little girlfriend really held such allure?
"Brother Huang, you’re joking again. Over the New Year, I just want to go out, buy so goods, and send them back ho," Yezi, reeking of alcohol, excused himself, claiming he couldn’t handle his liquor and hastened to leave the hotel.
When he returned to the independent apartnt that Huang Tengchong had rented for him, Yezi turned on the tap and splashed his face with cold water, sobering up a bit.
"It’s been half a year, and Huang Tengchong hasn’t shown any slip." The mont Yezi found out the CEO of Huang’s was Huang Tengchong, who was ntioned in Fiji, he decided to infiltrate Huang’s Breeding. Huang Tengchong still hadn’t trusted him completely, till now revealing nothing about the Feng Bird, "It’s almost New Year, Xiao Xian must be going ho too, I need to find a chance to et her."
Since he left Uncle Lu and followed Huang Tengchong, Yezi only visited the Agricultural Specialty Store once. Before he could explain himself, he was chased out by an elder surnad Mao, who cursed him as an ungrateful wretch. It seems everyone at the Agricultural Specialty Store shares the sa view as Elder Mao. If the news reached Xiao Xian, who knows what she would think.
"No wonder Old Man Fei said, humans are the most unfathomable animals. Especially these city folks, all insincere, despising for being unsuccessful, and accusing of ingratitude. Once I take over Huang’s and find the Feng Bird, they’ll have nothing to say," Yezi leaned back on the sofa, eyes closed, his hand rubbing the Star Rhinoceros Ring.
This ring had been in his possession for over half a year. The alcohol-numbed brain first clouded over, disconnecting from the apartnt’s environnt, and the first thing to erge was a swarm of wasps he had tad in the dense forest. The wasps buzzed incessantly around Yezi.
The Star Rhinoceros Stone is only the size of a fingernail, but it harbors a type of beast Yezi had never seen before in his life. The background of the Star Rhinoceros Stone is an uneven surface, seemingly part of a location on the Beast Star.
