Chapter 789: It Turns Out to Be an Old Acquaintance
This is bullying, and no matter how good-tempered a person is, they cannot endure it, let alone Shi Youxuan, who was never good-tempered, and Sheng Hanyu, who is even less so.
The couple sat in the car with their child, and Zichen felt very aggrieved: "Mom and Dad, what did we do wrong? Why did that lady just now treat us like that?"
Shi Youxuan: "Baby, we didn't do anything wrong. The reason some people bully others isn't because you are wrong, but simply because you look easy to bully."
Sheng Zichen: "Mom, I don't understand."
That's right, his age is not yet enough to understand the complex and ever-changing relationships between adults.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, as long as he can see it clearly!
Shi Youxuan took out some food for the child, letting him be quiet and well-behaved for a while.
Then she took out her laptop, and before she could even open it, her husband handed the zoo's information to her.
Having been a couple for many years, the two had a highly compatible rapport; she didn't need to say what she wanted to do, as he already knew and had it prepared.
There were no issues with the legal representative of the wildlife park.
But the General Manager's name looked a bit familiar—Jiao Enyu!
Who is that?
She only felt it looked familiar and hadn't remembered yet, but Sheng Hanyu had.
He reminded her: "Heh, it's an old friend. Do you remember the person who was introduced to 'Alisha' when we were in L Country? The one in the silk business."
"Oh! I know, I know, my god! So it's him, how did he come to Jiangzhou?"
Shi Youxuan suddenly realized and remembered.
Back then, Sheng Hanyu was disguised as "Alisha" and stayed by her side; in order to give "Alisha" a place to settle down, she had asked some ladies to introduce a boyfriend to "Alisha."
This Jiao Enyu was one of them, and he was also a distant cousin of Lady Qi.
Jiao Enyu was too petty and had malicious intentions; when the blind date failed, he wanted to ruin "Alisha," and in the end, he was messed with by Sheng Hanyu until he couldn't even survive in L Country. She didn't know where he had gone, but she hadn't expected to run into him in Jiangzhou after so many years.
Enemies often cross paths; that is probably what this is.
"Husband, let's talk to him properly, or maybe apologize? As long as he agrees to return the white wolf to us, that's fine."
Shi Youxuan is not like she was when she was young and hot-headed; she is much calmer now, and if taking a step back can lead to a wider world, that is also fine.
Sheng Hanyu shook his head: "You're overthinking it. For some people, retreating is useless; you must make them feel pain for it to be effective."
She felt her husband made sense, so she nodded: "Okay, you're right, but what are you going to do?"
Sheng Hanyu: "Very simple, just wait."
He dialed a number, and the other side answered quickly: "Hello, who is this?" A lazy voice, sounding distant and indifferent.
"Chairman Zhang, hello, I am Sheng Hanyu of Dingsheng."
"Chairman Sheng? Hello, hello, you actually took the initiative to call me?" The other side seemed very excited, and the voice changed immediately, carrying unconcealable joy.
The two had met at a bidding conference, where Chairman Zhang had tried every possible way to get close to Sheng Hanyu, but had failed.
That Sheng Hanyu could take the initiative to call him this time was something he wouldn't even dare to dream of; he was overjoyed.
Sheng Hanyu: "Yes, I have something to ask of you. You have a few white wolves in your zoo that my wife likes very much, and she wants to buy them. I don't know if you..."
"A gift!"
Chairman Zhang was exceptionally straightforward: "What buying or not buying? It is the good fortune of the wolves and my good fortune that you have taken a fancy to the white wolves in my zoo. It is you doing me, Zhang, a favor. When do you want them?"
Sheng Hanyu: "I am at the entrance of your zoo."
"I will be there in half an hour."
Hanging up the phone, Shi Youxuan gave her husband a thumbs up: "You are still the best."
"Learn from me." Her husband was very proud.
He would not go directly to trouble Jiao Enyu, nor would he go to trouble that female staff member.
Because their statuses were not equal.
Furthermore, people with vastly different statuses have no real interest relationship because the distance between them is too great, which leads to a lack of awe.
It is different when he speaks directly to the Chairman of the wildlife park.
The Chairman's net worth is far from Sheng Hanyu's, but if he stands on his tiptoes, he can still reach a little; using three white wolves as a gift is a rare and sought-after opportunity for him.
And once the Chairman makes a decision, those below him dare not have any objections.
Jiao Enyu received a call from the Chairman, ordering him to roll to the zoo entrance immediately.
When he saw the family of three, the expression on his face was colorful and quite a sight.
He was very unwilling.
But there was nothing he could do.
The Chairman arrived, grabbed Jiao Enyu by the collar, and brought him before Sheng Hanyu: "Apologize to Chairman Sheng and the Chairman's Wife."
Even if he had a thousand reasons to refuse, he could only comply at this moment.
"Chairman Sheng, Chairman's Wife, I'm sorry, I was wrong."
The female staff member also came down and apologized obediently, her attitude extremely pious.
Every sentence pushed the blame onto the General Manager, and she felt extremely aggrieved.
The couple didn't even look at them directly and demanded to see the white wolf immediately.
The family of three was taken to the place where the wolves were kept.
Dabai was on the verge of death, its body thin as a skeleton.
Seeing Sheng Hanyu, it didn't even have the strength to lift its eyelids; it just lifted them to look at them once, then slowly closed them again.
Xiaobai stuck affectionately to Shi Youxuan's side, rubbing its head against her leg, as if saying: Why did you only just come?
Shi Youxuan hugged Xiaobai's neck and gently stroked its back with her hand, telling Xiaobai not to be afraid, as she had come to take their family of three away from here.
A veterinarian was invited, who said that Dabai had a heart ailment, and heart ailments must be cured with heart medicine; other methods would be useless for it.
Shi Youxuan stroked the fur on Dabai's neck, which had originally been soft and smooth, but was now dry and lusterless.
She said softly, "Good, we are here to save you. Eat something; you need to eat to have the strength to return to the Forest..."
Her words worked; Dabai struggled, attempting to stand up, but it had no strength in its body and failed after several efforts.
The zookeeper brought over a large basin of meat porridge, but fearing the meat might be hard to digest, they had specifically boiled a pot of meat porridge.
Bai Lang looked at Sheng Hanyu, its gaze filled with suspicion, not daring to eat.
"You, come here!"
Sheng Hanyu signaled for Jiao Enyu to come over and pointed at the porridge basin: "You eat two mouthfuls first; it needs to know there is no poison before it can feel at ease."
Jiao Enyu:...
Asking him, a dignified General Manager, to taste-test for a wolf?
This is intolerable.
"Chairman, this isn't appropriate, is it..." He looked at the Chairman as if for help; if this precedent were set today, how would he establish authority in front of his employees in the future? He would have no prestige left at all.
"Hurry up and eat, why are you dawdling?"
The Chairman had already spoken, so he had no choice but to comply.
The edges of the wolf's basin were not clean; there were dried food scraps from previous meals that hadn't been washed off, and the porridge was poured directly inside, looking disgusting.
"Ugh—"
"Ugh—"
Before he even started eating, just looking at the basin made him feel nauseous.
Furthermore, the wolf enclosure reeked everywhere, and the smell of several scents mixed together was extremely foul; it was truly impossible to eat!
However, he still bit the bullet, scooped a mouthful of meat porridge from the middle of the basin, and swallowed it.
