The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Despite Shen Humeng's "enthusiastic" invitation, Lu Yuan still declined.

Although he had mentally prepared himself to marry Shen Humeng and even become a good father, he was not yet mentally prepared to sleep with Shen Humeng.

They will definitely get married, and maybe they'll sleep together after marriage, but that's after they're married.

In addition, Lu Yuan did not go back to the fourth family's house to sleep. Don't forget that there is a Suiling there, and he was afraid that Suiling would attack him at night.

No, if he goes back, Sui Ling will definitely ambush him that night.

So I simply found a guest room in the main house and spent the night in a daze.

The next morning, Lu Yuan got up and went downstairs.

Shen Humeng had already gotten up and was playing with Lu Bei. Although little Lu Bei was only one year old, he could already run, and even seemed to be "walking with great speed," which was probably due to his high blood energy.

Breakfast was ready, and there were only the three of them, just like a harmonious family of three.

As for Shen Qiubing, she went to the Star Dou Squad base at dawn. Actually, there was no need to rush; it almost felt like she was deliberately avoiding Lu Yuan.

While eating breakfast, Lu Yuan pondered how the Star Dou Squad was doing during his year-long absence. He needed to find time to go back and check on them before returning to base.

After all, they are all geniuses among geniuses, and it would be best if they could be recruited to our ranks.

"Son-in-law."

Just as they finished breakfast, Shen Fuyue's butler came in.

"The people from the guild hall have arrived. Please come over."

"They're chasing us so closely. Fine, tell them I'll come over after I finish eating."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly, then picked up little Lu Bei and played with him.

After playing for more than an hour, it was already past nine in the morning. Lu Yuan tidied his clothes before going out.

After taking only a few steps, a middle-aged man with the strength of a two-star warrior walked over.

"Marine General, I've come to take you to the clubhouse."

"Is it that I don't have a car, or that the Lu family doesn't have a car, that you have to come all the way to pick me up?"

"You have made outstanding contributions to the association, and sending a car to pick you up is an affirmation of your achievements."

"Heh, you've got a way with words. Let's go then."

Lu Yuan smiled slightly and nodded.

After an hour's drive in the club's car, we arrived at the Starry Sky Building.

The man took the private elevator from the garage and pressed the button for the 100th floor.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips. If he remembered correctly, the deputy curator's office was on the 100th floor.

It's just unknown whether it's Qin Dingfang or Dugu Chongxiao.

"Marine General, please."

The man pushed open the deputy director's office door and said something.

Lu Yuan stepped inside, and the man closed the door from the outside.

A spacious office, a heavy desk, a slightly overweight middle-aged man wearing glasses, Qin Dingfang.

Yes, the guild has two deputy directors. Qin Dingfang is in charge of administration, personnel, logistics and other aspects, while Dugu Chongxiao is in charge of combat.

Matters concerning the base fall within Qin Dingfang's work scope.

This was, in fact, Lu Yuan's third time meeting Qin Dingfang.

The first time was when Wu Jianming and Lu Diaolong couldn't reach an agreement and brought Lu Yuan to Qin Dingfang for a ruling. The second time was at Shen Fuyue's birthday banquet, where Qin Dingfang, representing the Starry Sky Club, sat at the head table.

"Little Lu is here, please have a seat."

Just like the previous two times, Qin Dingfang, the vice president of the Starry Sky Club, was not at all arrogant and looked just like the uncle next door.

"Thank you, Deputy Curator."

Lu Yuan said something and sat down opposite Qin Dingfang.

"Xiao Lu, you did a great job this time. To be honest, we were quite surprised that you could achieve such great results in just one year."

Qin Ding smiled and, without rambling on, got straight to the topic of the base.

As the saying goes, honest people don't beat around the bush. Besides, Qin Dingfang was also very busy, so he only had ten minutes to talk with Lu Yuan.

"This past year has been very tough for me. I have experienced a lot of hardships and even almost lost my life several times."

Lu Yuan nodded and said with a sigh.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Qin Dingfang's smile froze.

Normally, when your boss acknowledges your work performance, shouldn't you first thank your boss and the company for their support?

Qin Dingfang used this tactic: as long as Lu Yuan expressed his gratitude, he could take the credit to the guild and thus "legitimately" intervene in the base.

But Lu Yuan doesn't play by the rules!

Instead of thanking the leaders and the association, he took all the credit for himself and acted as if it had been a very difficult task.

"Heh, we've all seen the hardships you've endured for the association. Don't worry, Xiao Lu, the association has always been fair and just, with clear rewards and punishments. The association will reward you accordingly for your contributions."

They're all old foxes.

With just a few simple words, Qin Dingfang directly portrayed Lu Yuan's independent entrepreneurship as a company outsourcing.

Of course, Lu Yuan did establish his base outside the city under the guise of the Starry Sky Club. This is also why Dong Pengfei and Suo Mo kept asking Pei Xuan questions.

However, Lu Yuan's base was not within the territory of the Starry Sky Guild's Northern Wilderness influence, and the guild never provided him with any support from beginning to end.

If we have to say, Lu Yuan is a martial artist of the Starry Sky Club, at least for now, but the base belongs to Lu Yuan himself.

"If you don't work hard for your own career, do you expect others to help you?"

Lu Yuan smiled seemingly innocently, then put on an apologetic expression.

"To be honest, I've been busy with my own things all year, and I'm already very grateful that the association didn't expel me."

"..."

Looking at Lu Yuan's pretentious act, Qin Dingfang frowned slightly and checked the time.

With seven minutes left, there was no time to waste rambling on with Lu Yuan.

"Since you're a smart person, I'll just be frank."

Qin Dingfang's face turned serious, and his tone became solemn.

"You are a martial artist from the Starry Sky Guild, and you built that base in the name of the Starry Sky Guild. Therefore, the Starry Sky Guild has the right to take it back."

"This isn't just taking back the guild hall; it's outright robbery!"

"Lu Yuan!"

"I'm here!"

Faced with the enraged Qin Dingfang, Lu Yuan's voice suddenly rose a few decibels.

He dared to go to the meeting alone today because he wasn't afraid of the guild using its power to intimidate people.

Seeing Lu Yuan's fearless demeanor, Qin Dingfang frowned secretly again.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger; a child is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, so he has to work harder on his side. He sighed helplessly inwardly.

"Don't think that just because you have the support of the Shen family, you can ignore the opinions of the guild. Don't forget that Shen Fuyue is the Grand Elder of the guild, and on matters of principle, he must stand on the side of the guild."

"Deputy Director, I think you've misunderstood something. I don't rely on the Shen family; I'm relying solely on myself now."

Lu Yuan's expression was serious, and his words were firm and resolute.

"Ambitious."

Qin Dingfang smiled, a hint of disdain in his smile.

"Do you think you can stand up to the guild on your own?"

"Give it a try."

"It's easy to give it a try, but the association values ​​talent and doesn't really want to let you down like this."

Qin Dingfang leaned back slightly, resting against the back of his chair.

"I have other things to do later, so I'll just tell you directly: the association will send someone over to oversee the development of your base!"
