I am Lapland’s rat!

Quinn knew that Yajue was a very individual person. He never made excuses for power and wealth, and equally ridiculed all the people he was used to and those he couldn't stand.

It is his character that allows Yajue to maintain a calm perspective on all investment projects, and as an investor he has gradually become a benchmark in the industry.

Even Quinn himself is often criticized by Lord Duck.

And the beast owner named "Little Silver" in front of him - probably the beast owner, Quinn is actually not sure, but after all, when he saw Duck Lord for the first time, he also recognized him as a feathered beast - it was obvious that he was straightforward He despised Ya Jue, but instead of being angry, Ya Jue actually praised Xiao Yin with a smile?

This is the first time Quinn has seen such a situation!

You must know that this should not be the preferential treatment given by Duck Lord to Xiao Yin for the sake of being a fellow beast owner, because Duck Lord has always been willing to demote the rock star "The Great" as the most despicable loser.

Quinn observed Wu Xian carefully and found that the bright silver color on the silver-gray Zarak came from the tips of his crystal-clear fur. The fine and soft fur shone under the light in the box.

Just like the duck feathers.

"What are you looking at? I am so good-looking, Shushu?" Wu Xian rolled his eyes at Quinn. This extremely human look made the gray-haired Perlo stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help laughing.

With this smile, Quinn greeted Wu Xian formally: "Hello, I am Quinn Manfast, nice to meet you."

Wu Xian blinked and looked at Quinn. He realized that this man must be quite old, at least about to enter middle age.

It's just that Quinn's face is well maintained, and he seems to like to laugh. Since Lord Duck entered the box, Quinn has been laughing non-stop.

What is there to say?

People who love to laugh never grow old.

At this time, Yajue was already making arrangements to ask the waiter to serve the appetizers.

It seems that Quinn and Duck Lord should be friends. Even in front of the beast owner, Quinn is not very reserved, but smiles naturally and asks Duck Lord if there is anything he particularly wants to eat.

Of course, when he noticed that Wu Xian was also staring at him, Quinn smiled and said to Wu Xian: "Xiao Yin, what do you want to eat?"

“The signature of this restaurant is its high-quality grilled steaks, which are also served in new or traditional methods such as slow-cooked and red wine braised.”

Ah, it seems that Quinn is still a very kind person.

Wu Xian was very satisfied with Quinn's success. After all, he couldn't speak himself. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably just ask the Yajue who brought Wu Xian here.

"Anyone who asks me to order my food is a good person!"

Wu Xian moved his paws and wrote "I want the same one as you" in Syracuse on the table.

Chapter 15 Duck and Dog

Later, Wu Xian discovered that Quinn was quite edible.

Because after he ordered the same thing, the main dish that was served was enough for two people.

As Quinn said, the signature of this restaurant is its high-quality animal meat.

After Wu Xian finished the appetizer and soup while wearing a small scarf, one of the main dishes served was grilled beef ribs with a strong aroma of black pepper and fruit wood, and the other was a thick, medium-ripe beef rib. Eye-cut steak.

Whether it is beef ribs or ribeye, their surfaces have been grilled to create a beautifully charred layer, and the color and rich fat aroma due to the Maillard reaction are perfect.

When he bites into it after cutting it, the fat particles and strong texture of the meat fibers give Wu Xian a sense of pure satisfaction. It is just right in tenderness and is very easy to swallow when chewing, even without using any sauce. The aroma of the meat itself is also charming enough.

Wu Xian once heard someone say that the tenderer the steak, the better. A truly delicious steak needs a certain chewiness. Obviously the chef of this restaurant knows the secret.

"……good to eat."

Only halfway through eating, Wu Xian was freed from the depressed mood when he heard the news of Lapland's setback, and devoted himself to enjoying the food.

"A rich guy like Duck Jue can handle it. If there is something delicious, he should give it to Shushu."

……

"...How can I put it, Xiaoyin is quite edible."

In the private room, Quinn looked at Wu Xian, who had stuffed two large pieces of meat steak into his stomach, but his body shape had not changed much. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, and then he laughed.

They are not people who like to talk at the dinner table. They focus on the food in front of them as soon as the food is served, and do not start talking again until the snacks are served.

"This is the talent of a successful person." Duck Lord put a piece of lettuce into his duck's mouth with a fork and chewed it twice:

"Quinn, you have to learn this."

Wu Xian glanced at Ya Jue and wiped his mouth and beard with a tissue: "I'm too lazy to edit it, right?"

Quinn said seriously as usual: "No need, because I am a loser."

"Tch." Yajue turned his head away, not very happy.

At this time, Quinn looked at Wu Xian and asked with concern: "Xiao Yin, are you full? Do you need any more food?"

Wu Xian blinked, suddenly feeling flattered.

He quickly wrote "NO" on the dining table to indicate that he was full.

So Quinn laughed happily: "Then do you need anything else? For example, refreshments after meals or hair care?"

"No, no, no, no need." Wu Xian gesticulated with his paws:

"Zhushu, I'm happy as long as I can have enough food!"

Quinn nodded with relief and turned his gaze to the disdainful Lord Duck.

"…A good man."

Wu Xian found that Quinn's personality was completely complementary to that of Ya Jue.

Duck Lord is arrogant, but Quinn likes to care about others; Duck Lord always has a stern face every day, while Quinn always has a puppy smile.

Lord Duck thinks of himself as a winner, while Quinn always responds by thinking of himself as a loser.

This may be the reason why the two of them can become friends.

After the meal, Yajue and Quinn chatted for a while while eating snacks.

Even though Lord Duck had always had a bad attitude towards Quinn, under Quinn's teasing, the two started chatting one by one, ranging from the current situation of Tremont City to the progress of Colombia's pioneering, and from Originium Technology. Related news from Frontier Developments talked about the Tremont government's measures to stabilize small and medium-sized enterprises.

Although Wu Xian could hardly get a word in, he also gained a deeper understanding of the country Colombia from the conversation between the two of them.

During this process, Wu Xian suddenly became curious about Quinn's identity.

How did this gray-haired dog, who calls himself a "loser," perfectly pick up all the topics discussed by the big investor Ya Jue?

Unfortunately, Wu Xian didn't know who Quinn was until the end. Yajue and Quinn chatted until about three o'clock in the afternoon. Then Yajue said that he had a business deal to discuss, called Gopnik, and took Wu Xian with him. Xian left.

……

Yajue escorted Wu Xian to the place where Wu Xian got on the bus. After putting Wu Xian on the street, he waved his wings and said to Wu Xian:

"Young man, if you have a happy meal today, then my favor is over. I have been spending a lot of time in Tremont these days. If you encounter any trouble, you can tell me when we meet next time."

Wu Xian blinked, hesitated, and finally just stretched out his paw and wrote "bye" on the ground.

"Zhushu, I did enjoy my meal today."

He thought for a moment and decided not to tell Lord Duck or Quinn what happened to Lapland.

Although Duck Lord is very friendly to him so far, he has no merits. If Duck Lord helps him solve the trouble, he doesn't know how to repay Duck Lord.

After all, Yajue treats "Xiao Yin" as an equal beast owner. He is not a human who treats Xiaoyin as a pet. Wu Xian has no emotional value to Yajue, even if he is a rat, Wu Xian's His values ​​​​do not allow him to prostitute Yajue for nothing.

Of course, another important reason is that Lapland is not powerless yet. Wu Xian still believes that Lapland can cut off and tear apart all the obstacles in front of her on her own as before.

"Yes." Duck Lord touched the duck's chin with his duck wings. Just as he was about to get in the car, he suddenly turned around and said, "Young man, can you tell me what your ability is?"

"Huh?" Wu Xian was startled.

This is nothing, there are already many people in Syracuse who know what he is capable of.

He pointed his paw at the duck king and chanted: "Rejoice, the duck can talk."

Happy!

"...Huh?" Yajue suddenly noticed something and made a strange sound from his throat, "Young man, you..."

The flat duck didn't continue speaking. Then, his whole neck started to tremble slightly, and then his yellow duck's beak opened slightly -

"Ha-gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Duck Lord laughed loudly!

He laughed so hard that his neck bent comically, his wings flapped wildly on both sides of his body, and his two webbed feet kept taking turns kicking the ground.

"Quack quack quack quack!"

"——Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Duck Lord's laughter attracted the attention of all the people around him!

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”

Yajue laughed loudly and flapped his wings. Before Wu Xian could help him release "Happiness", he turned around and walked towards the car.

"Hahaha, boy, I like this very much, quack quack!"

Duck Lord can even laugh and talk at the same time:

"Then I owe you another favor, hahaha. Next time I have a chance, I'll invite you to the Yan Kingdom's palace to eat the real dragon's state banquet, quack quack!"

Wu Xian shook his beard in surprise, and then watched Ya Jue get into the car with a smile, and asked Gopnik to drive with a smile. Until the car drove far away, Ya Jue's quacking laughter echoed in the air.

"—Quack, quack, quack, quack!"

……

"........."

"...Ah, wait, Lord Duck said he owes Shushu me another favor?"

Chapter No.16 Different paths lead to the same destination

……

After Wu Xian returned home after a full meal, Lapland was still not at home. Perhaps she went to find the officials responsible for reviewing the license application submitted by Lapland as Texas said. .

Wu Xian chatted with Hei Tan and Texas for a while, then lay down on the sofa and took a short nap. It was not until dusk that the sound of a key turning in the keyhole was heard at the entrance, and then the white wolf Returned to her home in Tremont.

Wu Xian, who was drowsily asleep, heard Texas walking out of the room and asking: "How is the situation?"

"Absolutely." Lapland chuckled, "Hahaha, just as I expected."

Texas was silent for a moment.

So Lapland went on to explain: "We know too little about the relationship between these government officials and businessmen. If you want to issue a special equipment use permit, you not only need approval from the Economic Development Bureau and the Urban Planning Bureau, but also You need to conduct a background check and report at the Department of Public Safety, and finally go to the mayor’s office to get a secretary to sign.”

"Those two officials are from the Economic Development Bureau. They said that the application form has now reached the Public Security Bureau and is no longer under their control."

"But you did notice before that Swanov asked them to get the entire permit?" Texas sighed and asked.

Lapland did not answer this question, but said with a sarcastic smile:

"The two film officials said that there will be a private dance hosted by the big businessman Mr. Walter the day after tomorrow to celebrate the coming of age of his daughter, and that officials from the Public Security Bureau will also go there. If I can 'communicate' with them there , maybe you can get 'satisfactory results'."

"In their view, it is a great gift for a Syracusan like me to know about the existence of this ball."

Hearing this, Wu Xian suddenly woke up and looked up at Lapland and Texas.

Lapland's expression was calm, the corners of his mouth were slightly tightened, and his eyes were a little tired.

Same way.

Texas was silent for a while: "... Lapland, you don't have to worry too much, Swanov has to take care of Sophia after all. Moreover, the gap between Stanley Watt and Swanov is just fine The gap between the Bisaluzzo headquarters and the Ians family means that Swanov does not dare to make any mistakes during his ball.”

She calmed down and analyzed the possible dangers of the dance for Lapland:

"Although Swanov set up a trap for you, he probably just wants to deceive you or threaten you to sign some agreement that is not good for you to ensure his status. I believe in your ability, as long as you see through Swanov Nof’s intention, Lapland, you can definitely find a way to crack it.”

Seeing that Lapland was still silent, Texas hesitated and added:

"...You can take Xiaoyin with you."

From Texas' point of view, Lapland should indeed take advantage of the situation.

Under such unfavorable circumstances, as long as she can successfully break the trap set by Swanov for her at the ball, she will be able to start quite quickly. This is at least much better than slowly groping around Tremont on her own. .

Not only can Xiaoyin help Lapland when he is in danger, but he can also use his own inconspicuous advantage to obtain information for Lapland.

She trusted the combination of Lapland and Wu Xian.

But even so, Lapland remained silent for a while, then looked at Wu Xian on the sofa and said, "Xiao Yin, are you willing to go to the dance with me?"
