Chapter 79: Casting a Long Line

  Chapter Seventy-Nine Casting a Long Line

  Happy Spring Festival, continue to update continuously, no holidays, it's very hard to code at this time.

  "It's okay, he seems to be in the Shan Hong magic circle." A woman with a pair of eyes and a regular appearance suddenly said softly. She was Xu Yun, the person in charge of the Shan Hong Monitoring Center. The image magic mark in her hand could clearly show the specific location of people with special identities in the magic circle. As Xiao Hong's medicine boy, Shan Hongyun naturally had a display.

  This is mainly a temporary nine-fold card with a tracking rune, roughly the same as Xiao Hong's warning rune.

  Sang Hongyun didn't say a word, his body leaned back against the chair, and he stretched out his index finger to point at the door.

  Xu Yun nodded in agreement and walked out respectfully.

  At the same time, Xiao Hong was nearing the end of his rampage on the fifth floor, putting big and small packages into his backpack. Even with a 10% discount, Xiao Hong's spending had almost reached one hundred gold.

  Even the salesgirl was stunned, in this place, a one-time consumption of 100 gold coins is not unusual, but it's rare to see someone who looks only eighteen years old, wearing ordinary clothes, without turning red or gasping for breath, consuming so much, and just for a short half an hour.

  "Excuse me... is there anything else you need?" The salesgirl asked softly.

  "Alright." Xiao Hong responded, then exerted himself and put the large backpack on his back.

  "Xiao Hong, Mr. Xiao, Mr. Sang Hongyun has something to discuss with you, please go to the 10th floor, No. 1 elevator entrance and wait, someone will guide you, repeat..."

  Just as Xiao Hong was about to pack up and take a stroll, such a broadcast suddenly echoed throughout the entire Shanghong Magic Pattern Street, instantly attracting the attention of all customers on the street.

  It's common for broadcasts to be made here, but it's rare for Sang Hongyun to personally look for someone. Similarly, those who can make Sang Hongyun want to find them are also not ordinary people.

  Xiao Hong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he was somewhat perplexed by San Hongyun's sudden summons. Although he was cautious in his heart, he didn't have too much vigilance, and his mind kept thinking about what San Hongyun wanted him to do.

  "Miss, where is the place mentioned on the broadcast? Would you mind taking me there?" With the backpack's buckle secured, Xiao Hong fixed his gaze on the salesgirl, his expression calm and even, without a hint of anything out of the ordinary.

  On the other hand, the shopping guide was shocked on the spot. No mistake, she knew that the guy opposite her was Shang Hongyun's medicine boy, but as a medicine boy in Shang Hongyun's place, he was only a marginal person. It is rare for a medicine boy to be summoned by Shang Hongyun himself.

  It can be said that now this shopping guide girl is more and more curious about Xiao Hong's identity.

  However, facing Xiao Hong's request, she still didn't dare to be slow and made a very respectful gesture of invitation to Xiao Hong before starting to lead the way for him.

  The tenth floor mainly sells magic threads and patterned fabrics, each with its own counter, and there are also strict protective measures around it, at first glance, it is an exhibition hall.

  When I arrived at the entrance of elevator No. 1, Xu Yun was already waiting there in person.

  Seeing this scene, the salesgirl was shocked again. Xun Yun was a high-ranking figure to her, and it was rare for the high-level administrator here to personally welcome someone.

  For Xiao Hong, Xu Yun didn't know him, but the No. 1 elevator was exclusively for executives, ordinary people had no chance to use it, seeing the sales lady bringing a young man over here, Xu Yun could guess that this person might be Xiao Hong.

  "Sister, I am Xiao Hong." Coming to Xu Yun's front, Xiao Hong said in a low voice, with polite courtesy in his tone, but not a hint of respect.

  "Follow me." Xu Yun didn't say much either, slightly turned around and led Xiao Hong into the elevator.

  "What does Master Sang want me for?" Xiao Hong asked, feigning curiosity while standing in the elevator, actually trying to gather information and prepare himself mentally before responding.

  "Cooperation." Xǔ Yún replied very simply.

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong did not continue to ask questions, but instead began to think back and forth in his mind, what kind of cooperation was Sang Hongyun referring to? And how should he respond.

  Soon, under Xu Yun's lead, Xiao Hong entered the office, his expression still calm, his arms naturally hanging down, his eyes scanning the room for a moment before focusing on Sang Hongyun at the desk.

  "Master Sang, I don't know what business you have with me?" Xiao Hong slightly bowed his head and asked calmly.

  As for the others in the office, except for Zhao Qing, they couldn't help but take a glance at Xiao Hong. He was wearing ordinary clothes that were not particularly eye-catching - a black short-sleeved vest on top and jeans on the bottom, with a large yellow and black backpack strapped to his back, which was stuffed full to bursting. There wasn't anything special about him, and he looked like any other young person you might see walking down the street.

  "Cooperation." Sang Hongyun also got straight to the point, pointing to the bottle of skin cream on the table and continued: "I'm very interested in this skin cream you've formulated. I think we can cooperate, you hand over the formula to us, and we'll take care of production and sales. We'll split the profits 80-20, what do you say?"

  It can be said that the conditions given by Sang Hongyun are absolutely fair, ensuring that he doesn't lose out while not having the slightest intention of taking advantage of Xiao Hong.

  Xiao Hong, who heard this, although his expression didn't change, but in his heart he was slightly moved. This was absolutely a good suggestion to increase extra income. He just wanted to nod and agree, but his heart moved again.

  Then, Xiao Hongwei smiled slightly and put on a very respectful appearance, saying: "What's the point of dividing or not dividing? Master Sang Hongyun has been kind to me and has pointed out many times. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today. Since Master Sang Hongyun likes my formula, giving it to him is fine, let's just forget about the division of accounts."

  Having said that, Xiao Hong opened the magic bag, carefully unfolded a piece of grass paper and placed it in front of Sang Hongyun with a dignified manner.

  However, the executives present were shocked by Xiao Hong's actions. Zhang looked at Xiao Hong with wide eyes and thought to himself, "Has Xiao Hong gone crazy?"

  It's worth noting that, although it's just a small account of 82 shares, it was personally operated by Sang Hongyun himself, so the second floor is at least worth thousands of dollars. Who would have thought that this little brat would leave so much money untouched?

  Xiang Hongyun was also shocked by Xiao Hong's extremely unusual behavior, he was very clear about the preciousness of Xiao Hong's formula, but he didn't expect that Xiao Hong would become so generous.

  He took a glance at the grass paper on the desk, just one look, and Sang Hongyun was certain that this was real. For a moment, Sang Hongyun couldn't understand why Xiao Hong would do such a thing.

  However, Zhao Qing, who was sitting in a corner of the sofa, felt a sudden shock after his initial astonishment. This was indeed Xiao Hong's benevolent trap! Because he had been with Sang Hongyun for many years, he knew that his master would never owe anyone a favor and would always repay any debts.

  What Xiao Hong did undoubtedly made Sang Hongyun owe him a great favor, and this kind of favor is like a bottomless pit, where no matter how much you repay, it still feels like you haven't repaid enough. In this way, Xiao Hong's indirect demands will far exceed the value brought by his position.

  It was just that no one had expected that in such a short period of time, Xiao Hong's personality would have made such progress. Of course, this kind of analysis couldn't be expressed by Zhao Qing, in other words, there was no way to bring it up.

  That's right, what Zhao Qing thought in his heart was indeed Xiao Hong's idea, but not entirely. There were two other reasons. Firstly, he had previously been in contact with Mrs. Lei, and the Ze Lei family had some minor grievances with Sang Hongyun. At this time, openly cooperating with Sang Hongyun would not be good. Secondly, Xiao Hong had already researched a second-generation moisturizing cream that was slightly better than the current one. The original plan was to phase out the current formula, so wouldn't it be even better to do a favor now?

  "Really... you're just going to send me off like this?" San Hongyun was momentarily stunned by Xiao Hong's actions, perhaps due to being an outsider looking in. He hadn't yet figured out Xiao Hong's intentions. From what he knew of Xiao Hong before, the man was a bit petty and could be quite generous when it suited him, but San Hongyun really couldn't handle this sudden display of generosity.

  "Yes." Xiao Hong nodded and said.

  "Why?" asked Sang Hongyun.

  "It's a kind of repayment, if it weren't for Master Sang's medicine, I probably wouldn't have lived this long. And previously, if it weren't for Master Sang's guidance, this formula wouldn't have been developed either." Xiao Hong said almost without thinking, because he had already thought it through clearly before, and now he was just waiting for Master Sang to take the initiative to give him benefits.

  As soon as Xiao Hong's words came out, the atmosphere in the luxurious room became somewhat eerie. Previously, these people had been considering how to get rid of Xiao Hong, but they never expected him to deliver himself right over. If he was sent away without giving anything in return, Sang Hongyun would inevitably be seen as petty.

  But what exactly to send, everyone still doesn't know yet.

  "Do you know, if this formula is adopted in layers, it will only take two years for you to accumulate several thousand gold coins, enough for you to buy the variant spirit beast's gall." San Hongyun suddenly asked in a low voice.

  "I know, but do you think I still have two years?" Xiao Hong responded in a low voice.

  "Alright, I'll give you a chance to become a Rider soon. Whether you can seize it or not depends on yourself and your luck. In two weeks, the Summer Hunt will begin, and the Shaojiang Group will also participate as a team. I'll give you a spot in the team. If you can bring back a Variant Beast's gallbladder, you can stay behind on your own accord. I'm making this decision myself."

  It can be said that this benefit is as big as the sky, and many people who have no power or are struggling in small forces can join a large team like Shao Jiang to take care of each other, participate in summer hunting, which is their dream come true. If it's said to be small, it's almost equal to nothing, after all, participating in summer hunting requires taking risks, and there's even the risk of death halfway through. More importantly, if they don't encounter variant spirit beasts or are preempted by other forces, then it would be a wasted trip.
