Starting with the Broken-Winged Frost Butterfly: Beast Taming

Three days later, the disabled shelter was completely shut down, and Zhang Fei officially joined Super Burning Life.

Zhu Ran, whose fan base has surged to 23, interviewed hundreds of people before finally finalizing the initial personnel structure of the company.

"Best wishes, sir."

As Zhu Ran entered the base, two clear and melodious voices rang out simultaneously.

At the reception desk in the lobby, two sisters with similar looks and sweet smiles stood side by side. One wore a red dress, and the other a blue dress. One was warm and the other was cool, making them particularly eye-catching.

Ouyang Xiang, Ouyang Yu.

Their pets are also twins, a pair of grey sun parrots. When they see someone approaching, one of them shouts "Handsome guy, howl!" in a clear and loud voice, while the other provides accompaniment with cheerful music that is inherently funny.

"Everyone, please be informed that there will be a meeting at 10:00 AM. Today is the first day that everyone is present. Please give a brief self-introduction."

"Okay, Mr. Zhu."

10 o'clock sharp.

Twenty-one people gathered in the conference room.

In addition, there were more than thirty pet beasts, some from the Fate Contract Card and some from the Sealing Card, who looked around somewhat uneasily.

"President Zhu."

Everyone stood up to greet them.

Countless gazes swept over Zhu Ran's incredibly young face, secretly glancing at the broken-winged frost butterfly behind him.

I heard that this was the pet that made Mr. Zhu famous.

In reality, it was indeed even more refreshing and cool than it appeared on camera.

"Please sit down."

Zhu Ran smiled and sat down first.

"Clatter".

Shizuka, Nobita, Gian, Suneo, Dorami, and Doraemon, the six adorable little tigers, lined up and jumped onto the conference table, their heart-shaped eyes slightly widened as they curiously observed their soon-to-be colleagues.

"My name is Ying Zhuangjing, currently the head of the finance department, and I am thirty-five years old..."

"My name is He Hui. I graduated from Jingbao University and am currently the head of the warehouse department..."

"I am Shi Lanzhi, the sales manager. I previously worked at a toy factory, and I hope to grow together with everyone in the future..."

Of the six departments, the head of the human resources department is currently vacant, while the head of the other five departments has been appointed.

However, even among supervisors, there are differences in ability and status.

The most important department is naturally the "feeding department".

Liang Baizhou and Zhang Fei serve as the director and deputy director, respectively, while four cleaners serve as department members, and the remaining departments provide comprehensive support.

Secondly, Xu Jianjun, the head of the security department, is one of the few second-life beast tamers in the company.

He is a veteran who served on the border in his youth and has extensive combat experience.

The main responsibilities of the security department are to ensure order at the base and to fully protect the personal safety of the company's employees. Whether it is a tiger cub escaping and injuring someone, or an external pet intruding, they must respond promptly.

"I hereby promise that the Little Tiger Breeding Base is just the first project of our Super Burning Life."

"In the future, those of you who grow with the company will be given the title of 'veteran,' and your salaries and benefits will be fully aligned with the industry's top standards!"

Usually, at this point, the empty promises are about done.

But Zhu Ran disliked empty formalities and added:

"Every year I will allocate no less than 10% of the project profits as year-end bonuses for all employees. Manager Ying, you will follow up on the relevant matters."

These words were like a bombshell.

Finance Department Manager Ying Zhuangjing and Sales Department Manager Shi Lanzhi deal with money all day long, how could they not know?

The company's core product, "Little Tiger," has not yet been officially sold to the public, but its price of 388,000 yuan has not only failed to anger consumers, but has instead attracted a huge following, which is quite remarkable.

The cost of the baby tiger, based on the assessment criteria for senior breeders, is capped at 70,000 for material expenses.

The enormous profits in the middle are enough to make countless small and medium-sized companies envious.

"I understand," Ying Zhuangjing said respectfully.

The others held their breath, unable to resist letting their imaginations run wild.

If things proceed as planned, the little tiger is destined to make the company a fortune.

A 10% dividend would certainly amount to less than seven figures.

Besides, it's only the beginning of the year.

There is still almost a whole year to work hard.

Is it possible for the total year-end bonus to exceed five million?

The thought of this made everyone's heart skip a beat.

Meeting adjourned.

Zhu Ran led Xiao Die Die and four adorable little tigers back to his boss's office.

Liang Baizhou also has an office, although it's a bit small, only about 100 square meters, but everyone calls him President Liang. This experience still makes him feel a little smug today.

"President Zhu is so decisive. If he hadn't just made empty promises, but actually kept his word, I would have been willing to work 997 all year round."

"Would Superburning Life's valuation really break ten million within a month? Mr. Zhu is only in his early twenties, and his net worth is already in the eight figures?"

As soon as the two left, the remaining employees, who had not yet dispersed, couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

"bite--"

Zhu Ran and Liang Baizhou suddenly received a text message.

"Uncle Zhu, check your phone! A notification has arrived!"

Liang Baizhou banged on the door.

In a moment of urgency, instead of "President Zhu," he blurted out the more natural "Master Zhu."

[The Secret Realm Trial is about to begin. Given your senior-level Species Evolution major, we recommend that you register and participate, and make the necessary preparations in advance.]

Zhu Ran stared at her phone screen, speechless.

The bustling life in Chixia City sometimes makes him forget the true nature of this era.

This era has never been a peaceful one.

Behind the peaceful and tranquil life are the nation, the soldiers, and the adventurers... If it weren't for them expanding the territory and guarding the borders, how would the billions of people in Yanxu Kingdom have time to play fighting eagles, raise cute pets, or follow celebrities and watch dramas?

"Zhu Ran, are you participating in the secret realm training? Although you can decline in principle, it would be a pity to miss it."

In the "Strategic Partners" group, Shang Yunying @Zhu Ran.

In the office, Liang Baizhou was also staring at Zhu Ran, clearly waiting for his decision.

"babble?"

Xuexi looked on with curiosity. Why was she so serious? What exactly was this secret realm?

"Secret realms, also known as 'other-dimensional spaces,' are small worlds connected to the main world."

Zhu Ran murmured:

"They often contain a dazzling array of rare and precious materials, or even all sorts of bizarre and extraordinary species."

"However, behind every opportunity lies an endless danger."

"With the emergence of each new secret realm, the battle pet masters who go to explore and conquer it always suffer heavy casualties..."

Xuexi: (ᗜ˰ᗜ)

That sounds terrifying!

Although Xi is very skilled, she lacks practical experience.

No problem, Xi is ready to escape. When it comes to speed, we're the professionals!

If all else fails, then we'll just have to get rid of Fat Tiger. He's got a lot of meat on him, so he should be able to attract a wave of enemies...

Shizuka/Nobita/Suneo: ദ്ദി˶ｰ̀֊ｰ́)✧

Gian: (ಥ_ಥ)

"It's not actually that serious."

Seeing the exchange between the children, Zhu Ran's brows relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face.

"We're not going there to explore new lands, but to gain experience and broaden our horizons."

"The vast majority of breeders and researchers will never step out of the city limits in their entire lives."

"But Zhongdu University is the tenth ranked university in Yanxu Kingdom, and its standards are far higher than the norm."

"For example, the battle pet trainers in the Battle Academy, after advancing to the second life in their third year, will gradually explore the desolate areas outside the city, explore secret realms, and participate in the most realistic and bloody battles."

"As for our research institutes, engineering schools, business schools... the university doesn't want us to be hothouse flowers. Even if we don't go to the battlefield or the front lines in the future, we should see the outside world in our lifetime so that we won't be complacent, lose ourselves in the illusion of peace, and forget the cruel nature of the times."
