Fell in love with
"Oh?" Bai Huan's chopsticks paused, then stopped altogether. He smiled at Yu Debao and said, "If there's something on your mind, Master Yu, just say it straight out. Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy my food."
No wonder, if this man was grateful for saving his dog, he would have settled the bill at that time and parted ways. At most, he would have left a business card and said something like "Little brother, if you need anything in the future, just come find me", which is the style of these big bosses.
Even Yu Debao's fondness for the hunting dog "Gunpowder" has reached an unbearable level, there is no need to lower his posture like this, and he even invited himself to a big meal!
Now that he has said so, Bai Huan finally has some understanding.
"Haha, this matter is simply too easy for you, Bai Xiaodi!"
The boss's face is usually thicker, and Yu Debao is no exception. Seeing Bai Huan's reaction, he quickly gave him a high hat: "What am I doing, you should be clear, little brother."
"What's unclear about that? Bai Huan looked over with a strange gaze: 'Digging at the corners of socialism, and competing with the country for profit.'"
Yu Debao was choked and coughed repeatedly, looking like he could give up on life at any moment.
Although it's true, you should still be more tactful!
For this big boss, since he made a fortune, except for the rich of the same level and the officials within the system, few people dared to directly poke his sore spot, making him neither accept nor decline. Embarrassed, he instead felt a bit of novelty and strangeness, thinking that this kid was interesting.
"Hey, can't say that, I've also made contributions to the country!"
Yu De Bao chuckled and steered the conversation back on track: "Actually, it's like this. One of my exploration teams discovered a vein of ore near Jigongyan recently. The purity and quality are top-notch, but there's an issue..."
Bai Huan swallowed the turtle's skirt in his mouth, then said "Oh" and continued: "The terrain over there is not good, you'll have to put in a lot of effort to explore the reserve problem, see if it's worth developing."
Yu Debao patted his palm and praised: "Bai Xiao is really a clever person, talking to you is effortless! That area is close to the primitive forest terrain. Although the quality of the ore is good, if we don't figure out the reserves and act rashly, we might end up losing money in the end. So I sent a team to survey there for a long time. But who can say clearly about what's going on inside this mountain? What if something unexpected happens..."
"This kind of thing, can't a hunter or even an old villager from the mountains handle it?" Bai Huan was somewhat perplexed.
"Please! In a place like that, how can we not invite the old villagers from the mountains!" Yu Debao sighed twice: "People are no problem, but there are also dogs! Although my Sichuan mastiffs were originally mountain dogs, digging in the old forest is their main job, but they can't help but make some special situations. Just say last time, a few dogs drove the wild boar, and the people behind couldn't keep up in time. When we found them, one dog was seriously injured and died, it didn't break my heart!"
Bai Huang nodded, what Yu De Bao just said was roughly the same as his guess.
Although mountain dogs are first-class hunting dogs and working dogs, they will inevitably encounter sudden situations and may be injured or even die. In this case, based on the owner's love for the dog, it is definitely not possible to let someone take care of it specially, which is not too much out of line.
But now the problem is...
I'm a druid, aren't I? Protecting nature is my code of conduct. How can I assist in exploring mineral deposits? Bai Huan thought left and right, somewhat indecisive.
Should I firmly and sternly refuse?
"Look, little brother is also on holiday now, where to work is not working? What's good about mixing in a pet store, every day is just a small matter, annoying to death! You go help me take care of the dog, salary calculated by day, one day three hundred, and for each dog saved there is additional compensation!" Yu Debao had counted the accounts, don't look at the salary he gave Bai Huan, which was on the same level as the master in the mining team, but compared to the cost of cultivating a top-notch mountain dog, it could be ignored.
It's true, isn't it? Working somewhere is just working, and besides, we're all treating animals anyway.
He made the decision in a flash, now he has no psychological burden. What is called letting go! There must be a let-go to gain! When he saves up enough start-up capital, can't he just return it to Diqiu Jun then?
Some druid's dignity just fell all over the floor.
However, he still had some small doubts: "This, I'm still very curious. Old Boss Yu, since you're so fond of dogs, why do you let your mining team take them out to use? Wouldn't it be better to just hire a hunter, they must have raised dogs already?"
Yu De Bao listened to Bai Huan's question and shook his head with a self-satisfied expression: "As for this, it's not that I'm idle with nothing to do after eating my fill..."
Bai Huan smiled awkwardly and dryly said "heh heh".
Anyone can see that the expression on his face is clearly "it's really hard to say".
Yu De Bao and Bai Huan had been dealing with each other for a while, and roughly understood what kind of moral character this kid was. His face turned black, and he forced himself to pretend he hadn't seen it: "Firstly, it's convenient for my subordinates to explore the mine, and secondly, it can also help cultivate and select hunting dogs. This mountain dog is meant to be released into the mountains for actual combat; just training in the kennel won't achieve anything!"
It turned out that he had this idea, and Bai Huang nodded slightly. It seems that Yu De Bao is not a superficial person who only knows how to raise fighting dogs as a nouveau riche, but rather wants to cultivate his own dogs with regional characteristics, original breed fine hunting dogs.
Well, it's considered one of the more high-end dog breeds.
"How about it, little brother? Come and help me with this, I'll definitely not treat you unfairly!" Seeing that Bai Hua was already showing signs of compromise, Yu De Bao quickly added fuel to the fire: "If this cooperation goes smoothly, I'll invite White Little Brother to my dog farm, and work together with Teacher Zhou on that matter. It's all negotiable. No matter what, working at my dog farm is much better than being a worker in a pet store! How much money do you make from working? At most, it's just over a thousand yuan a month. Helping me take care of the dogs, I'll give you this much in three days, not to mention commissions!"
Yu De Bao has set his sights on Bai Huan's tactics.
He had also repeatedly asked before, how the gunpowder was rescued? Bai Huan would not tell the truth, and fabricated an identity of a hereditary hunter for himself, something about ancestral orthopedics and traumatology, which made Yu Debao stunned.
For a mine owner who is determined to raise the "King of Mountain Dogs" by opening a private kennel, isn't this just like running into a pillow while dozing off, or having a pie fall from the sky and land in his own hands?
Ba Bai Huan was hired into the exploration team, which had both a flattering and an examining meaning.
Yu Debao is up to something, Bai Huan naturally understands, but accepting a job offer once is still acceptable, working under this person for a long time, that's a no-go.
Let the only Druid on earth come and help you raise dogs full-time?
"Alright, since you're being so sincere, boss, I'd be rude to decline again." Bai Huang hesitated for a moment and didn't mention anything about the future: "Let's just cooperate this once, we can discuss other issues after we get out of the mountain, after all, I'm still a student right now."
If Yu De Bao knew Bai Huan's true thoughts, he would definitely spit on this person's face: Student your sister! You've all resigned and still call yourself a student?
Because he didn't know, he happily gave a thumbs up: "Alright, that's quick! I'll stay here and wish you all the best, little brother! Take this card and use it, don't worry, there are only 200,000 to 300,000 yuan on it. I know you're not someone who takes things for free, so I won't put you in a difficult position."
Don't look at Bai Huan shouting "If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you're an idiot", but what he dislikes the most is owing others a favor.
However, for him and Yu Debao, a reward of 20-30 thousand was a relatively reasonable amount, so they accepted it readily.
Just as the two men were about to finalize their business and start clinking glasses, a shrill siren suddenly drifted in from outside, growing louder and closer, shattering the tranquility of the summer afternoon.
This sound was nothing unusual for Yu Debao, he just casually glanced out the window and then put his attention back on the wine table.
Only Bai Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that something had happened at Dongchuang.
Next, whether it's safe to pass this hurdle or be caught by the authoritarian forces, that still depends on one's ability to adapt and respond flexibly.
