Chapter 1000: Chapter 997: The Boss Is Awesome!
"Chen Nian... he should be fine, right?"
Ah Qing asked the little fox and then looked at her dad with a slightly uncertain expression.
"What’s the problem? He’s a grown man; it’s not like a mouse could kick him to death. Just get a couple of rabies shots and maybe a tetanus if needed."
Yu Zhenghong waved dismissively, not too concerned. If it weren’t for being old neighbors, he wouldn’t bother with Chen Nian being attacked by a rat.
Everyone said the rat was scared of strangers, don’t touch it, but he just had to tickle its belly.
If you scratch it, it scratches you back, isn’t that logical?
"There’s really a chance of being kicked to death..." Ah Qing mumbled to herself, feeling guilty.
Ah Qing had seen Spirit Beasts fighting, and the strength of Spirit Beasts was no joke.
Yu Zhenghong drove the pickup truck from the airport road to the city hospital, parking it in the lot.
"There are quite a few people, and Mrs. Chen Nian got them all lined up in the ward. You go check on them while I take care of the vaccine bill."
Yu Zhenghong looked exasperated as he grabbed a bag of fruit from the back seat and handed it to Ah Qing to take up to visit Chen Nian.
"Do you need to be hospitalized for rabies shots?" Ah Qing asked her dad with a puzzled look.
"They... I don’t even want to say it. You’ll understand when you see that guy."
Hearing Ah Qing’s question marks, Yu Zhenghong paused, his mouth twitching slightly and rolled his eyes, not wanting to waste his breath complaining about Chen Nian and these city folks.
It can only be said.
Mrs. Chen Nian, who works in the city hospital’s administration, specially arranged a special ward for those city folks.
Before Chen Nian got kicked by the rat, he brought those foreigners to go hiking, and they stumbled over a giant snake.
Whether they were scared or what, they ran out of the mountains crying, and it took three ambulances to get them to the hospital.
With today’s incident, Yu Zhenghong even began to suspect that the ancestors in the ancestral hall were exerting their influence.
Otherwise, it’s hard to explain how all these foreigners came to Changxi Town, and all ended up hospitalized for checkups.
It must be one of our war-heroes ancestors, seeing foreigners entering the village, and decided to act up.
"Let’s go together!"
Ah Qing picked up the fruits, looked at Ansheng with a strange expression, and said.
"Okay..." Ansheng shrugged, with a hint of gossip in his tone.
That guy Chen Nian has been back in Xia Dong for a while and has probably visited Granny Hedgehog and learned about Homeless House and Changxi Town.
Granny must have alerted Homeless House.
So Ansheng was also curious why Chen Nian still got beaten by a rat.
"Is Chen Nian here?"
Ah Qing took the elevator to the sixth floor’s special care ward area as her dad instructed. After peeking into the room through the observation window, she knocked and called out.
"Ah... I’m here."
Lying on the hospital bed browsing his phone, Chen Nian jumped up when he heard Ah Qing’s voice, patted the bed, and called out to the others in the room:
"Hey, everyone, stop sleeping, the sister-in-law is here!"
Chen Nian shouted in French, waking up everyone in the ward, even the mastiffs and the lawyer.
"Is the boss here!?"
The lawyer, looking drowsy, was startled awake, quickly stood up from the bed, looked around the room anxiously, seemingly searching for something.
But then he realized it wasn’t America, so... he didn’t need to put on a suit.
"Show some respect, if you offend the sister-in-law, I’ll send you guys to the club as ducks."
Chen Nian adjusted his T-shirt, skipping happily to the door to open it:
"Sis, aren’t you in school? How did you suddenly come back to Xia Dong..."
Chen Nian opened the door, inviting Ah Qing in while looking at Master Fuli on Ah Qing’s shoulder.
"Come, come! Worship Master Fuli, remember our company’s team logo... the mascot? The mascot’s prototype is this big fox here."
Chen Nian turned seriously, pointing to Master Fuli on Ah Qing’s shoulder, almost revealing his own secret in his excitement.
When Chen Nian survived prison and started his own venture, taking over a gang, he used a family crest that featured a technologized fox head.
"Boss, greetings!"
Some of the gang leaders in the ward hadn’t seen Master Fuli before.
But some former Navy marines were persuaded by Master Fuli and later joined Chen Nian’s gang.
Seeing Master Fuli, they were excited and saluted him properly.
"Ah this..."
Ah Qing took a few steps back, stunned by the foreigners all saluting in unison. frёeωebɳovel.com
"Sis, don’t be scared yet."
Chen Nian said with a big grin, "We used Fox’s head for marketing in America..."
"Those foreigners are really into these gods and spirits, practically made our company go viral, Master Fuli is a symbol of wealth in our team."
"Once our team splits and goes public, I even plan to build a bronze statue of Master Fuli right at the branch entrance to gather fortune."
Chen Nian roughly explained to Ah Qing how he met Master Fuli.
He was waving lucky hands, while Master Fuli went into a store to buy coke.
It was fate; seeing a spiritual beast passing by, he took the opportunity to pray.
As a result, a typhoon blew him to America overnight, where he became general manager, and within a few months, moved up to CEO.
"C...CEO? What does your company do?" Ah Qing asked, genuinely taken aback by Chen Nian.
"Import-export trade, finance, and marketing," Chen Nian introduced confidently, "totally legitimate business! As someone from Changxi Town, I refuse gray and black market temptations, living as lawful citizens."
"That’s amazing!"
Ah Qing initially thought Chen Nian being a CEO meant she needed to protect the little fox, fearing her brother went overseas and unleashed himself, perhaps lending money at high interest.
Now, hearing from Chen Nian it’s legitimate, not involved in cause-and-effect, she relaxed, holding the little fox to herself and offering it for Chen Nian to pet.
"No, no, I’m too dirty, wouldn’t want to soil Master Fuli."
Chen Nian declined, shaking his hands emphatically.
Would petting the fox’s head mean happiness from year-end to New Year’s?
Master Fuli might kick him out coldly otherwise.
"By the way, brother, you guys are..."
They exchanged pleasantries before Ah Qing took a seat at the special ward’s small guest table, grabbed the water Chen Nian handed over, looking quizzically at the bandaged foreigners.
"Don’t mention it, it’s all because of that silly cat," Chen Nian said, glancing around the ward in exasperation.
"I’m working in America, right? And I happened to catch a purebred Maine Coon in Maine to keep."
"That dumb cat’s used to its cozy houses, never saw an inch of nature, kept running into the mountains, and then my buddies ended up looking for the cat and stepped into a snake pit."
Chen Nian bullshitted with a straight face.
He did have a Maine Coon, which was caught, but the silly cat didn’t run into the mountains. freewebnøvel.com
In the town, the cat was firing away, glimpsed that passing black giant snake, and got rolled up the mountain by it, clinging to a tree, cryingly going ’meow meow’.
Subsequently, during the rescue mission, his pals were taught a hard lesson by the black snake, forced to build a wooden temple for it before retrieving the cat.
In Xia Country, Spirit Beasts have fierce territorial instincts.
This Maine Coon, as a foreigner, met Eye King, glared straight into its eyes without bowing or playing dead, still holding a shotgun.
Then... the Maine Coon discovered the true fury of a naturally gifted, wild Spirit Beast.
