After the dust settled, Zhang Lisheng asked Maddie to file the documents and stood up from the office chair. He extended his hand and said, "Mr. Edward, may we have a pleasant cooperation."
"No, boss. You can call me Edward directly now. I'm hired by you, not cooperating with you." Edward immediately entered the role of LS 'chief legal officer and said tactfully, "I've recently heard that a few large slaughterhouses near New York are ready to join forces to sue the new LS Slaughterhouse for monopolizing the industry.
Although these guys are just struggling on their deathbed, it'll be more or less troublesome if the lawsuit is successful. If you allow it, I'm planning to join forces with Charlie during this period of time and focus on breaking their alliance. "
"Please call me Lisheng directly then.
Edward, since you said that those large slaughterhouses are already struggling on their deathbed, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get them to give up the idea of suing us. "
"Give them a dignified way out and buy the slaughtering machines that are about to become scrap iron in their factories. In short, give them some benefits and those operators will betray their shareholders.
Don't worry, Mr. Lisheng, leave everything to me. I'm an expert in this, "Charlie, who was by the side, said to Zhang Lisheng confidently with a smile.
"Oh, it seems like you're very confident, Mr. Charlie. Okay, work for me well then. Let me see if you really have the qualities of a top professional manager," The young man was stunned and said with a hint.
Charlie's eyes lit up. Just when he was going to say a few more words while the iron was still hot, Tina called downstairs and reported, "Mr. Lisheng, the gentlemen from the National Farmers Union have arrived."
"Invite them up."
"Yes."
A few seconds later, a few middle-aged men wearing shabby suits who looked weather-beaten walked into Zhang Lisheng's office with two to three lawyers.
The young man had seen too many of such faces in the past six months and had long mastered the trick of dealing with them.
A warm welcoming expression appeared on his face as he first expressed his welcome. Then, when both parties had finished discussing the conditions and the only thing left was to sign a contract, he performed his obligations skillfully.
In less than an hour, he had increased the daily income of the factory by about 3,500 dollars. Not only that, but he had also become the director of the National Farmers Union in seven farming towns as well.
However, even though the young man was agile, it was already evening by the time he sent the farm owners away. A strong wind was blowing, and the dense raindrops hit the glass wall silently, splashing water everywhere.
Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Edward said, "Lisheng, it's Friday today. My wife and daughter will be waiting for me to have dinner at home. If you don't have any other orders, I'd like to take my leave first."
"If you don't have any other instructions, I plan to take my leave too, Mr. Lisheng," Charlie also stood up from his chair and bid farewell to Zhang Lisheng.
Goodbye, Mr. Charlie. Goodbye, Edward. " Zhang Lisheng waved his hand with a smile and watched their silhouettes disappear out of the door. He muttered to himself, "Two cunning fellows, but they're still worth using."
As he spoke, the young man stood up and walked to the window to look at the lightning and thunder. He sighed and dialed his mother's number.
"Mom, I'm still at the factory. The weather in the suburbs is terrible. I'm afraid I can't make it back to the city tonight."
"Oh baby, the weather in Brooklyn is terrible too. There have been a few lightning strikes in the sky, and the electricity at home has been cut off.
If you can't make it back, you can stay at the factory. Is there anything to eat there? "
"Of course! I have a refrigerator full of food, and I even have a microwave, oven, pot, and natural gas. You don't have to worry about me being hungry at all."
"That's great! Remember, if the weather turns better tomorrow, don't be late for school. Your conduct this semester …"
Upon hearing that Lili might start to nag for a long time, Zhang Lisheng took the phone far away. "Don't worry mom, I'll pay attention to it … Oh, the signal!
The signal is jammed! Your voice has become very unclear! I'll hang up first, mom! See you tomorrow! "He hastily hung up the phone.
After using a ridiculous little trick to get rid of his mother's lecture, the young man turned around and planned to get himself something to eat. All of a sudden, he realized that Maddie was standing at the stairway looking at him awkwardly.
"M-Mr. Lisheng, I just wanted to ask if there's anything else. If there's nothing else, I'll get off work now.
Also, I have compulsory classes tomorrow morning and afternoon, so I might not be able to come to the factory. "
"I understand. You can get off work now, Tina.
Oh, I forgot to ask you these few days. How's your father's illness? "
"He's already passed the most dangerous period. The Belgian doctor said that if there's no change in the situation after a period of time, he can be discharged from the hospital and go back home. It's all thanks to you …"
"You've already thanked me many times. Oh yeah, the weather is terrible today. Do you have the confidence to drive home? If you feel that it's dangerous, why don't you stay in the office overnight like me?"
Girls were naturally sensitive to some things. Maddie blushed and shook her head. "There's no need for that. I'll drive away. The weather is much worse than this. It's no problem."
"Oh, is that so? Goodbye then!"
Upon hearing Zhang Lisheng's straightforward farewell, a vague disappointment appeared on the girl's face again. "Do you need me to send you home?"
"No need. I've already told my mom that I won't go back today."
"Is that so? Goodbye then, Mr. Lisheng!" Maddie replied and turned around to go downstairs slowly. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, walked to the refrigerator in the corner of the office and took out a few pieces of hamburger meat and bread slices before throwing them into the microwave.
When he was about to start the microwave, a thick bolt of lightning in the sky struck straight into the open space on the beach outside the slaughterhouse. After a loud roar, all of the lights in the entire factory went out at once.
Such a situation where there was a complete loss of light was very rare for a slaughterhouse that had two lines in the factory and still had a backup diesel generator to supply power in case of emergency.
At the same time when the lights went out, Zhang Lisheng felt as though the lightning had flashed past his ears directly. He was so shocked that he staggered and fell to the ground.
His face was pale as his body lay stiffly in the dark for a long time. Only then did he slowly climb up from the carpet.
Due to the reason that he had read many ancient books and allusions about witchcraft, the young man naturally had an epiphany. He staggered to the glass wall of the office facing the sea and pushed gently with his hand. To his surprise, a floor-to-ceiling window that was as tall as a person was pushed out from the glass wall that seemed to be one.
In an instant, the wind and rain poured into the office, causing the documents on the table to fly everywhere. After the raindrops drenched the owner of the office, they flowed all over the expensive cashmere carpet that was laid on the floor.
In the face of the storm, Zhang Lisheng clenched his teeth and stood still. Wiping his cheeks that were full of rain with his hands, he clenched his fists nervously and commanded Island Dragon that was hiding in the factory to jump out of the factory and reveal itself before leaping into the air.
The wizard gu's body passed through the wind and rain and disappeared in the air over 20 meters high before falling into the sea. The young man was stunned for a moment. "It's not Island Dragon." Then, he commanded Mountoad to jump out of the backpack that was placed under the desk and did the same thing like Island Dragon. In the end, nothing happened at all.
After two failed attempts, Zhang Lisheng pondered over it and felt that it could not be Kyuuko that he had just refined no matter what.
For this reason, he used his hand to block the wind and rain in front of him and took a deep breath. Mustering his spirit, he commanded Crocodragon that was hiding in the trench under the slaughterhouse to turn invisible and dive into the sea using the 'connect' spell.
The instant the wizard gu entered the sea, he could faintly feel that the wizard gu that originally needed steam to take in air and soar into the sky could soar freely in the storm. For this reason, he tried to command Crocodragon to soar into the sky.
To his surprise, the wizard gu really did what Zhang Lisheng had imagined. It climbed up along with the rain and wriggled its body in the dark as it wandered in the rain.
Another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. With the help of the dazzling lightning, the young man was dumbstruck to see that the body of Crocodragon that had been soaked in the sea of blood in the trench of the factory for half a year had become much thinner, revealing the appearance of a snake's body.
A layer of light green soft scales had also faintly appeared on the thick skin that did not have scales initially. Two long whiskers were hanging from its mouth and there were two big bumps on the top of its head. Its appearance was already very different from before.
"A wyrmdragon can create clouds and fog when it obtains water and soar into space …" Upon seeing Crocodragon's new appearance, Zhang Lisheng could not help but mutter, "Wyrmdragon, wyrmdragon …"
The wyrmdragon that the young man mentioned often appeared together in the ancient Chinese people. In fact, it was the name of a legendary mythical creature at different ages. It was called a wyrmdragon when it was young and a dragon when it grew up.
However, even though the wyrmdragon and the dragon were different ages of the same creature, both of them were evil and righteous in the Chinese people's hearts. They had a different nature.
The dragon represented the sacred imperial power and the power to rule the four seas, while the wyrmdragon represented the power to stir up trouble and swamp thousands of miles away. For this reason, it was also known as the evil dragon.
When Zhang Lisheng saw the wyrmdragon's embryonic form, he understood that the protagonist who was going to undergo the evolution of life essence, or rather, be struck by lightning today, was Crocodragon.
The instant this thought appeared in his mind, a few bolts of lightning pierced through the sky. One of them hit the Crocodragon's body hard, creating countless sparks that evaporated the water around the wizard gu, causing its flesh to split open.
The wizard gu's soul had long been dispersed. It was essentially a wizard's artifact that was controlled by its mind. After the Crocodragon was struck by lightning, Zhang Lisheng felt that it had lost control and fell into the sea.
Zhang Lisheng seemed to be able to smell the burnt stench of the wizard gu. In the dark rainy night, Zhang Lisheng clenched his teeth and wiped off the rainwater on his face in vain again. He took a few deep breaths and opened his mouth to spit out a gust of black mist.
If one were to take a closer look at the mist, they would see that it was made up of tiny droplets of blood. It drifted into the wind and rain and slowly extended before fading away. When it flew out of the factory's wall, it had already turned into a faint reddish-black color and swayed in the wind before entering the sea.
