Chapter 113

"Woo!"

"Squeak!"

After Xiao Yi packed up his things, the little lynx and Huang Mao, these two little guys, also ran back.

As for the two Arctic ground squirrels, they turned and disappeared from Xiao Yi's sight.

Regarding this scene, Xiao Yi didn't find anything strange.

In fact, this matched Xiao Yi's initial prediction.

The little lynx definitely wouldn't be willing to leave; after all, the scent of those two lynx furs was too attractive to it.

As for Huang Mao, that little thing, perhaps it stayed to look after this little lynx.

After all, Huang Mao was indeed quite good to this little guy; one could see this from the fact that it dared to jump down from the tree to block Xiao Yi.

Actually, after its two brothers arrived, Huang Mao had struggled in its heart.

Following Xiao Yi meant inevitably facing those two black bears that it feared.

But Xiao Yi's home, apart from those two bears, was too wonderful in every other way.

There was no slaughter of the wilderness, and there was no worry about food or drink.

Most importantly, the place where they lived was just like the warm summer of the wilderness, which Huang Mao liked very much.

Of course, more importantly, out of an animal's most instinctive intuition, when Xiao Yi faced them, Huang Mao didn't feel any killing intent from Xiao Yi.

Otherwise, no matter what, Huang Mao would have found a way to take the little lynx and run away.

Before Huang Mao returned, it even invited its two little brothers to come and mooch food and drink with Xiao Yi.

But clearly, Huang Mao's two little brothers feared Xiao Yi, this human, to the marrow of their bones.

They directly rejected Huang Mao's invitation, and after expressing their wish for its return, they hurried away.

Of course, Xiao Yi naturally didn't know the little thoughts of Huang Mao, this little thing.

If he knew, he would definitely kick this little thing away.

Does he really think his place is a stray animal rescue center?

Of course, if those two Arctic ground squirrels really intended to hang out with him, Xiao Yi...

But according to Xiao Yi's current mentality and personality, he would only send them all to the pot to play.

Raising four guys at home now had actually made Xiao Yi feel physically and mentally exhausted, and he was even prepared to chase the bears away.

If he raised any more, that would be Xiao Yi looking for trouble for himself.

A lazy guy like Xiao Yi would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.

Moreover, Xiao Yi was not a lover of any animal; in his previous life, he had never raised pets like cats or dogs.

The reason he was willing to raise these guys now was more just to relieve boredom.

Raising too many would be too noisy, which would instead make Xiao Yi unhappy, and he might even slaughter them all then.

"Let's go, today we'll head straight to the capital; the folks at Note should have arranged everything, right? It's been a long time since I participated in this kind of program."

At this moment, inside a luxurious and elegant villa in Taiwan, two people were drinking tea and chatting.

A man who had put on some weight took the lead and said with a smile.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man sitting next to him couldn't help but tease with a smile:

"Isn't it because you've become lazy yourself over these years? Otherwise, where would the market for those little fresh meats be now?"

"Don't say that; these words easily offend people. I'm just at an age where I'm taking care of my family, doing what I think I should do."

"I knew you would say that. The response from Note has already been arranged. But Brother Zhou, are we really not considering the invitation from Speed Hand?"

"The conditions they offered are very sincere—a one-hundred-million appearance fee, which is twice what Note gave us!"

"Reject it! Have you forgotten the reason why we were willing to take this program this time?"

"I know, I know, you're doing this to return the favor to President Ming of Note!"

"It's just a bit of a pity. Besides, there's actually no conflict in time between the two; Speed Hand said they don't mind you appearing on their program after participating in Note's. Speed Hand is willing to wait for you."

"There's nothing to regret. Note and Speed Hand are already in competition, and the two programs are extremely similar; it's clear they are trying to block their opponent."

"If we take Note's project and then take Speed Hand's, it's equivalent to us being two-faced, ruining our own reputation and character. This loss cannot be recovered by just one hundred million."

"You're right. This matter was indeed my lack of consideration. I will politely decline Speed Hand."

The two people speaking at this moment were the Heavenly King Zhou Luocheng and his manager Zhao Liqing, who had been with him for many years.

Hearing Zhou Luocheng say this, Zhao Liqing spoke directly.

Zhao Liqing valued the one hundred million offered by Speed Hand, but he understood the primary and secondary relationship between himself and the man in front of him even better.

This was also the main reason why Zhao Liqing had been able to remain as his manager for so many years.

As for President Qi of Speed Hand, he could only say he had tried his best to lobby.

Moreover, he hadn't given Speed Hand any guarantees at the time, but President Qi would still have to remember this favor.

"The nanny car is already prepared outside; let's head out now!"

At this moment, Zhao Liqing said to Zhou Luocheng with a smile. Hearing this, Zhou Luocheng didn't say anything more and walked toward the outside first.

Actually, the same situation was happening with Zhang Huixin in Yiyang.

As the undisputed national-level female singer in the mainland, Zhang Huixin's musical achievements might not be comparable to Zhou Luocheng's.

But as the head of a national-level song and dance troupe and an artist with military rank, she was also a top-tier existence in the entire literary and art world.

"Reject the invitation from Speed Hand!"

After Zhou Luocheng's side rejected Speed Hand's invitation, Zhang Huixin also spoke to her business manager.

The reason was actually similar to Zhou Luocheng's. No artist who could reach this position was simple.

Accepting Speed Hand's invitation, while not necessarily offending Note, would inevitably make Note feel uncomfortable. Zhou Luocheng understood, and Zhang Huixin could naturally see it clearly.

But if she didn't accept Speed Hand's invitation, Speed Hand couldn't say anything; after all, China has always valued the principle of first come, first served.

Moreover, at their status, they basically wouldn't accept programs randomly.

The reason she accepted this program was actually the same as Zhou Luocheng's—just to return a favor.

Having just returned a favor, how could a woman as transparent as Zhang Huixin do something as stupid as offending someone else?

Hearing this, the woman who was Zhang Huixin's manager didn't say anything more.

After responding, she turned and went to handle it.

Decisiveness had always been Zhang Huixin's style of doing things, so the people around her were the same.

As for the Note program group at this time, they were also making active preparations.

The program's popularity had actually reached its peak; if they wanted to make another breakthrough, they inevitably needed to borrow external forces.

And the arrival of Zhou Luocheng and Zhang Huixin was the best choice for Note.

Both of them had huge fan bases across all age groups, and both hadn't participated in variety shows for many years.

It was believed that their arrival would inevitably attract some people who didn't usually watch live broadcasts.

For this reason, Note had also formulated corresponding publicity, which had already been implemented across the entire network three days ago.

And the effect was quite good; many people were leaving messages on Note's official account.

Even the staff inside Note were very excited after learning of the two's arrival; one could imagine how the internet was at this moment.

If ten years is an era, the two's fans are concentrated in three eras, spanning several eras.
