Chapter 788: Dog Eyes Look Down on People, But They Misjudged This Time

~8 min read 1,559 words

Shi Youxuan feared that Dabai had already met with disaster.

Although she did not know why the Bai Lang were in Jiangzhou, thousands of miles away, they must have suffered a great deal and endured much hardship.

Xiaobai turned its head to look behind it, then lay on the ground without moving, its tears never stopping.

Xiaobai kept howling, "Awoo."

Its voice was very anxious and also very aggrieved; it wanted to come out, but the high wire fence was an existence it could not overcome!

"Xiaobai, don't be anxious. I will go find someone to save you all. You stay well; you must stay well and wait for me to return." Shi Youxuan felt as if her heart were being gripped by someone, making her uncomfortable.

"Awoo—"

Xiaobai stopped jumping and looked at Shi Youxuan with longing eyes, its appearance aggrieved, pitiful, and helpless; her heart was about to break.

……

Park Management Office.

They went through a lot of trouble before they finally met the management staff of the wildlife park.

Shi Youxuan: "Hello, I want to buy the Bai Lang. Name your price." Simple and direct, getting straight to the point.

The person in charge of the park management office was a woman around thirty years old, with high cheekbones, triangular eyes, and a thin figure standing straight.

Although her eyes were looking at Shi Youxuan, her chin was held high, looking very disdainful.

The woman snorted through her nose: "Hmph! Nothing better to do? You ran here to play games? And you want to buy Bai Lang? What a big mouth you have; a single hair on their bodies is worth more than you. Can you afford it?"

The woman was a snob.

Shi Youxuan's family of three was dressed very ordinarily today, looking like a middle-class family but definitely not the kind that was super wealthy.

Opening her mouth to buy Bai Lang?

What a big tone.

Shi Youxuan: "You name the price." She did not want to waste any more breath on this snobbish woman; it was not worth it.

However, the other party did not think so.

The woman looked at Shi Youxuan askance, finding her unpleasant no matter how she looked at her.

Although the clothes on this woman did not look like a big brand, her aura was very strong, and she was very beautiful, which was unpleasant.

The principle that like repels like was manifested vividly in this woman.

"Thirty million for three wolves, can you afford it?" She casually called out a price, thinking it would definitely scare Shi Youxuan away.

The three wolves actually only counted as one and a half now.

That male wolf had started a hunger strike since arriving at the zoo and was now on its last breath, not expected to live much longer.

"Fine, just as you said, thirty million!"

Shi Youxuan took out her phone and clicked into her mobile banking: "Account number, I will transfer it to you."

The woman did not give the account number but widened her eyes: "Are you for real?"

"Do you really have thirty million?"

She did not quite believe it.

Because regarding these three wolves, during a meeting last week, the General Manager had been scolded by the Chairman, saying that bringing in these "ancestors" was a waste of money and manpower, losing money and gaining no favor.

If they could really be sold, it would solve a very thorny problem, and this thorny problem was one she had solved herself; perhaps she could get an immediate raise and promotion...

In a flash, she had thought of many, many things.

But Shi Youxuan did not know this; she was already very impatient with the staff member's fussing: "Yes, I have been serious from beginning to end. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, no problem. Please sit down, I will go pour you some tea. Is green tea okay? Our lousy place doesn't have anything good to entertain distinguished guests, please don't mind..."

Seeing that Shi Youxuan could produce the money immediately, the woman's attitude changed 180 degrees instantly.

Her face was full of smiles, and her triangular eyes narrowed into slits.

She was incredibly enthusiastic, diligently offering seats and tea, and even took the snacks she had bought for her own child to give to Sheng Zichen: "The little one is so cute; he looks blessed being so chubby."

"Come, come, little one, have some snacks."

Although Sheng Zichen liked to eat, he was still reserved when outside, knowing that one should not eat things given by strangers, especially things given by someone who changed faces so quickly.

"Thank you, I don't want any."

The person in charge was all smiles: "Please sit for a moment, I'll go make a phone call and report to the General Manager."

"Fine, please go ahead."

The family of three sat in the office waiting, while the woman went happily to report the good news to the General Manager.

"General Manager, good news! Someone wants to buy those three half-dead Bai Lang in the park, and the asking price is thirty million. We've hit the jackpot this time..."

"Who are they?"

Only then did the woman realize that she had been so happy she hadn't asked for their names.

"Go ask."

Although the General Manager was also happy that the "hot potato" was finally going to be offloaded.

He considered more things than his subordinates and had to ask more questions.

The woman returned, and Shi Youxuan, thinking the matter was settled, took out her phone to prepare the transfer.

But she was asked: "May I ask your surname? And what do you do? Our General Manager said that although your price is not low, we cannot sell to just anyone. If you buy them back to abuse the animals, we cannot sell them no matter how much money you offer."

This person was quite clever; the General Manager had not said these things, but she had exaggerated a bit, and the exaggeration was quite complete.

"My name is Shi Youxuan, and my husband is Sheng Hanyu. We have a small company at home that covers many industries, but it does not include dog meat restaurants or circuses." Shi Youxuan reported her name truthfully.

The woman's eyes widened instantly: "Sheng Hanyu? Is that Chairman Sheng of the Dingsheng Group?" The couple kept a low profile and rarely appeared in the news or on television.

But the name "Sheng Hanyu" was known by almost everyone in Jiangzhou, young and old.

"Yes."

Having received a positive answer, she immediately went to report to the General Manager in high spirits.

She had originally expected to receive the praise she anticipated, but instead, she was scolded severely from head to toe.

"You can't sell it, you muddled thing! You want to sell everything—why don't you sell me too? We are a zoo; there is only the logic of buying animals, not selling them. Would you go to a barbershop to buy their scissors or hair dryers?"

"If you don't want to work, get out, you useless thing..."

The woman was scolded for no reason and felt very aggrieved at the same time.

If you don't want to sell, then don't sell; why scold her?

Pushing away the God of Wealth who came to their door—the General Manager must have a hole in his brain.

He indeed had a hole in his brain.

Not only did he refuse to sell, but the General Manager also made an outrageous demand—he wanted her to drive Shi Youxuan and Sheng Hanyu away and not give them a pleasant look!

She was a bit cowardly; after all, the couple had a well-known reputation.

But then she thought again, a local official is not as important as one's immediate superior.

No matter how capable others were, they had no dealings with her, while the General Manager was her direct superior; if she made the General Manager unhappy, she could be fired at any time.

The woman returned again, her expression having returned to the cold-as-frost look from the beginning.

"You should leave; we aren't selling."

"Why?"

Shi Youxuan thought they wanted to raise the price.

After all, raising prices on the spot was nothing new; once they knew their identities and that they were wealthy, it was possible the other party wanted to hike the price.

The woman said impatiently, "How can there be so many whys? Are you a 'hundred thousand whys'? Get out, get out, get out! Don't hinder us from working here."

"How can you be so unreasonable, woman? Do you have any sense of contract? You agreed at first, then went back on your word; even if you go back on your word, there's no need to use malicious language to hurt people, right?"

Shi Youxuan was already very angry by this time, but she was still trying to reason with her.

But it was useless for her to reason alone; the woman would not reason with her and even called the Security Guard to drive them out.

They were not only driven out of the office building but also directly kicked out of the zoo; the family of three couldn't even go to see the Bai Lang anymore.

The family of three was blacklisted by the zoo and forbidden from entering ever again!
