It was already midnight when Zhang Tie returned to the old mansion in Linjiang.
When Zuo Yi carried Bao'er out of the car, she was sleeping soundly with Teck in her arms. The scene of the two little guys with their heads close to each other was simply too cute.
Originally, Zuo Yi wanted to come back earlier. However, Yan Donglai kindly asked him to stay and even asked someone to bring a bed for the little girl to rest. Moreover, the auction of the Wild Wonder items was delayed. Therefore, he did not go home until the auction was over.
Although he came back late, Zuo Yi still gained a lot. He successfully bought five items from the Wild Wonder world.
After returning, he had used up quite a few of the materials he had brought back from the Sadya world. Although these Savage Wondrous items weren't of high grade, they were very suitable for making some low grade rune equipment, and he could save on some high grade materials.
In addition, when Yan Donglai knew that Zuo Yi had set up a company to protect and develop Linjiang Ancient Town, the head of the Yan family was very interested in it and immediately asked to be a part of it.
Zuo Yi estimated that he would invest 10 to 20 billion in Linjiang Ancient Town. He did not rule out the possibility of adding more. According to his plan, the final project did not consider the problem of recovering the investment and realizing profits.
In fact, this project was tailor-made for Bao'er. There was a space for the treasure tree to grow freely and a playground for the little girl to play in. Linjiang Ancient Town was just an accessory.
However, Zuo Yi told Yan Donglai about the future of the company. Yan Donglai still insisted on investing and said that the Yan family would fully support the construction of this project and protect it.
Originally, Zuo Yi asked Wang Yongqiang to complete this project. However, compared to Yan Donglai, Wang Yongqiang's strength was really too weak. The Yan family was the number one family in Jiangnan!
Zuo Yi knew very well that Yan Donglai's enthusiasm was definitely not because he coveted Linjiang Ancient Town. He was not that short-sighted.
What the head of the Yan family really wanted to invest in was Zuo Yi himself.
There was nothing wrong with this. Back when Zuo Yi had been in the world of Sadia, as he had slowly risen from a trainee Knight to a Legend Knight, there had been many people and organizations who had wanted to invest in him.
Zuo Yi accepted some of them, but he rejected some of them.
If Yan Donglai was a person with ulterior motives, then no matter what price he had to pay, he would not be able to move Zuo Yi in the slightest. If he was not beaten to death by Zuo Yi, it would be his ancestors' good deeds.
Although Zuo Yi and Yan Donglai had not known each other for a long time, Zuo Yi admired the character and magnanimity of the Yan family's helmsman. Therefore, he agreed after thinking about it.
Yan Donglai planned to invest one billion yuan first. He only wanted 5% of the shares of the Linjiang Ancient Town Development Company. He would continue to add more later depending on the situation of the construction.
With the addition of the Yan Family, the pressure on Wang Yongqiang would be greatly reduced. The construction speed of the project would definitely be greatly accelerated. In the future, Linjiang Ancient Town would undoubtedly be able to be built even more beautifully.
As for Yan Donglai's investment, it was nothing to Zuo Yi to let him get the return he deserved.
It was a win-win situation.
Carrying the Bao'er home, Zuo Yi did not wake his aunt who was already asleep. He put her on the bed in the bedroom.
After taking off the little girl's shoes, Zuo Yi covered her with a quilt. Then, he lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"Good night, baby."
Sweet dreams tonight.
The next morning, Zuo Yi had just gone to town to buy breakfast when he received a call from Wu Yongjian.
"Did you meet the delegation from the Kingdom of Selis in the West Field last night?"
Wu Yongjian was not denouncing him. He had just received the news. The source of the news was actually Da Xia's Honglu Bureau!
To be precise, it was Da Xia's Honglu Bureau that was denouncing him, the chief officer of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau.
The people from the Honglu Bureau somehow found out Zuo Yi's identity, so they complained to Wu Yongjian.
After all, in name, Zuo Yi was the chief consultant of the Supernatural Management Bureau.
At first, Wu Yongjian was very puzzled. After understanding the situation, he realized the truth of the matter, so he called Zuo Yi.
"I can only say that you did well!"
He chuckled and said, "The people from the Honglu Bureau are the best at using their connections to intimidate others. I'm annoyed just looking at them. The aliens from Selis aren't easy to deal with. They're very scheming."
Aliens …
Zuo Yi chuckled. "Chief Wu, are you under a lot of pressure?"
"What pressure can I be under?"
Wu Yongjian said nonchalantly. "The Selis people admitted defeat, and there were no casualties. The Honglu Bureau has no right to criticize me. If it were the cabinet, it would be more appropriate."
As the chief executive of the Jiangnan Supernatural Management Bureau, Wu Yongjian's position in Da Xia's system was not considered top-notch. However, he was also a Rank A supernatural being, so no one dared to underestimate him.
The only ones who had the right to exercise control over him were the Super Administrative Headquarters and the cabinet. Unless he did something that seriously violated the rules, the people from the Honglu Bureau would just take the blame. There really wasn't much pressure on them.
Of course, the Honglu Bureau could complain to the Super Administrative Headquarters and the cabinet. But just as Wu Yongjian said, the Selis people had already admitted defeat and apologized, so why bother?
Most importantly, Zuo Yi was also a Rank A supernatural being. He was not someone who could be easily suppressed.
Therefore, in Wu Yongjian's opinion, unless the Selis people were unwilling to give up and wanted to get back at him, this matter would have to be handled coldly. At most, Da Xia would give them some polite compensation.
After chatting with Zuo Yi for about ten minutes, Wu Yongjian was probably unable to suppress his curiosity when he asked, "That puppy of yours is a supernatural being, right? It even swallowed someone else's national treasure. The people from the Honglu Bureau said its value was immeasurable. "
Wu Yongjian had met Teck a long time ago and was aware of Zuo Yi's uniqueness. However, he had no intention of probing into Zuo Yi's secret.
This time, Zuo Yi had gone a little overboard, so he could not help but ask.
"Yes."
Zuo Yi smiled and said, "I'm just a little gluttonous."
A little gluttonous …
Who could afford to raise a glutton like that!
Wu Yongjian felt powerless and said, "In any case, don't worry. If the higher-ups put pressure on you, I'll handle it!"
"Thanks."
Although there was no need for it, Zuo Yi was still grateful for Wu Yongjian's support.
In fact, just as Wu Yongjian said, this matter did not cause much of a stir. The Selis Kingdom's delegation stayed in Hangzhou for three days before returning to Beijing.
The Honglu Bureau did not continue to put pressure on Wu Yongjian, nor did they look for Zuo Yi to denounce him. The matter was left unsettled.
A few days later, Wu Yongjian called Zuo Yi again and invited him to come to the Super Administrative Bureau's biological laboratory.
I went out for a meeting today and came back very late, so I only have two chapters to update tonight. Please forgive me.
