Under Lou Yan’s eloquence, the security guard was convinced and obediently led Lou Yan to the Pet Processing Factory.
When they arrived at the Pet Processing Factory, they happened to see Little He leading a group of people coming over for inspection. Little He frowned when he saw Lou Yan, who was not wearing work clothes, but his eyes lit up when he saw Lou Yan’s face. He eagerly asked the security guard, “Is this a new pet we’ve caught?”
The security guard shook his head. “This is a person who came to apply for a job. He said he wants to become an employee of the Pet Processing Factory.”
Little He’s face fell for a moment, and he turned to ask the middle-level employee beside him, who was wearing a blue shirt, “Is the Pet Processing Factory starting to hire people?”
The middle-level employee was puzzled and nodded, “The Pet Processing Factory is indeed preparing to hire people, but we haven’t posted any announcements yet.”
Little He looked at Lou Yan suspiciously. “We haven’t announced the recruitment to the public yet. How did you know that the Pet Processing Factory is short of staff?”
Of course, it was because he had seen it with his own eyes in the factory workshop before the time rewind.
Lou Yan smiled without saying a word, deliberately glancing at the security guard.
The security guard understood and stepped forward, whispering to Little He, “He is Director Lou’s son.”
“Lou Lin’s son,” Little He said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “no wonder he knows our internal news. But the Pet Processing Factory is not under Lou Lin’s jurisdiction, it’s under mine. Why didn’t you go to apply for a job at the factory managed by Lou Lin instead of coming here to apply for a job at the Pet Processing Factory?”
Lou Yan confidently said, “I have experience in taking care of pets.”
Little He looked at Lou Yan with suspicion. “Really?”
The black-haired youth was about 1.8 meters tall, handsome and eye-catching, with a symmetrical and slender figure. He didn’t look like someone who would be capable of handling pets. Especially compared to the security guard, who was as strong as a bear, Little He doubted whether this youth had the strength to hold onto a leash around a pet’s neck.
“I am an animal trainer,” Lou Yan saw Little He’s distrust of his abilities, but he remained calm and even smiled confidently, as if he were not here to apply for a job, but to interview others as a judge, “I have tamed many unruly pets. Don’t judge me by my appearance. My strength and stamina are not inferior to this security guard’s.”
Little He glanced at Lou Yan, then at the security guard, who was twice as strong as Lou Yan. He pursed his lips, clearly not convinced. But before he could speak, two experimentalists wearing protective suits suddenly rushed out of the Pet Processing Factory in a panic. When they saw Little He, they shouted loudly as if they had seen water to put out a fire, “Director He! The pet on the fourth underground floor has awakened! It is currently trying to break out of the container!”
Little He immediately rushed into the Pet Processing Factory, hastily putting on the protective suit handed to him. “What’s going on? How could it suddenly wake up! Quickly, quickly, quickly, send someone to calm the pet’s emotions first, and then find a way to inject it with drugs to make it sleep! Remember not to harm it. It’s our new cash cow!”
“No, Director Ho!” the experimentalist was sweating profusely, “We’ve tried both methods, but it strongly resists the approach of outsiders. As soon as anyone tries to get close to it, it shows a strong desire to attack. We have no chance to approach it and administer drugs!”
“So many people, and no one has a solution?” Little He was furious.
“Really, no one,” the experimental staff said with a mournful face, “That pet goes berserk, it’s too terrifying… No one dares to approach it anymore.”
At this moment, Little He was also in a panic. “What should we do…”
Suddenly, something crossed his mind, and he turned to point at Lou Yan, taking a desperate measure, “You, you, you, you said you’re a beast tamer, right? I’m giving you a task now. You follow us to calm down a rampaging pet. If you succeed, you’ll be an employee of the Pet Processing Factory from now on!”
Lou Yan raised an eyebrow and said, “Okay,” before taking the protective suit and quickly following them.
The group hurried to the fourth underground level. Even before they entered, Lou Yan heard the hair-raising angry roars emanating from inside, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects being struck.
Lou Yan looked down and noticed the ground trembling slightly due to the pet’s angry roars.
Little He hid behind Lou Yan and the other experimental staff, nervously swallowing his saliva. “Y-you guys should go in.”
Lou Yan took the lead and entered the fourth level, with others following closely behind.
Inside the fourth level, chaos reigned. Thirty to forty workers stood around the huge container, holding various tools, looking helpless. The ground was littered with glass shards and colorful liquids.
In the center container, the massive creature flapped its wings violently, pounding on the glass container in front of it, occasionally emitting a chilling growl.
The glass container already had cracks, and green liquid oozed out from the fissures, dripping onto the floor. The creature’s blood-red eyes stared coldly at everyone present, each strike on the container sending shivers down their spines.
Lou Yan observed the scene with a slight smile, but quickly suppressed his amusement. He carefully walked out of the crowd, approaching the creature step by step.
Others looked at Lou Yan in surprise, whispering among themselves.
“Who is this?”
“I don’t know, what is he trying to do? Is he going to anger it?”
“It seems like he’s brought here by Director He.”
Someone next to Little He nervously asked, “Director He, can this new employee you designated really handle it?”
“How would I know if he can or not,” Little He impatiently rolled his eyes, staring straight at Lou Yan’s back, “He’d better succeed! Even if he doesn’t, it doesn’t matter since he hasn’t formally joined yet.”
As he spoke, Lou Yan had already entered the monster’s line of sight.
To pretend not to know Fu Xuezhou, Lou Yan acted very cautiously. He stretched out one hand in front of him towards Fu Xuezhou, as if to appease his emotions, while the other hand remained by his side to protect himself. He took slow steps forward, staring directly into Fu Xuezhou’s eyes.
“Don’t be angry, little cutie,” Lou Yan whispered softly, “Can you calm down?”
The terrifying creature gradually stopped its rampage, blinking at Lou Yan. Its wings ceased flapping and folded behind its back.
“Very good, keep it up, you’re very obedient, excellent.” Lou Yan praised Fu Xuezhou in his mouth as he quickly moved to a spot about a meter away from the container. Taking advantage of others not paying attention, he raised an eyebrow at Fu Xuezhou and silently smiled, praising him: “Not bad, you’re cooperating very well.”
The creature seemed to find Lou Yan’s behavior strange, tilting its head curiously. Despite its completely mutated appearance, there was a hint of innocence in its expression.
It seemed to be asking: Wife, are you feeling okay?
Why are you calling me ‘little cutie’?
Aren’t you supposed to call me ‘baby’?
…
…What wife, just stop it.
Lou Yan’s eyelid twitched. Without noticing, his foot stepped on the green liquid oozing from the container. The liquid was slippery, causing Lou Yan’s body to sway as if he was about to fall.
“Bang!”
The creature suddenly punched the glass container, not playing around this time. Its fist created a hole in the container. The creature let out an urgent growl, causing everyone’s hearts to tighten.
They could all see that the creature was anxious because of the black-haired youth in front of it.
Fortunately, Lou Yan quickly stabilized himself and reassured the creature, lifting his hand to grab the creature’s hand that was reaching out of the broken container. “Don’t get excited, stay calm. I’m fine, don’t move.”
Saying this, he quickly approached the creature, grabbing its hand that reached out of the broken container. “Don’t get excited, stay calm. I’m fine, listen to me, stay calm.”
Seeing Lou Yan actually calming the creature, Little He was overjoyed. He quickly approached, rubbing his hands together and smiling at Lou Yan, “Wow, you truly are the most amazing beast tamer! You’ve managed to tame our pet so obediently. Excellent! I declare that you are now an employee of our Pet Processing Factory. Given your outstanding performance, I can temporarily assign you as a middle-level staff.”
Saying this, Little He clapped his hands, and someone quickly brought a neatly folded blue work uniform to Lou Yan.
Lou Yan was about to take the uniform when Little He held it back. “But before I give you this uniform, I want you to promise me one thing. From now on, you’ll be responsible for this pet until the auction two days later. During this period, you must ensure its safety and emotional stability. If possible, I hope you can teach it some things that pets should know and maybe even perform something.”
Lou Yan’s smile faded slightly at the way Little He treated Fu Xuezhou like livestock. “Perform? What do you mean?”
“Like jumping through hoops, balancing balls, playing with toys, etc.!” Little He gestured enthusiastically, listing a string of performance routines without a second thought, “Look at its many dangerous… but cute little arms! It can definitely perform a live dance for the audience, showcasing the flexibility of its little arms. And then, look at its wings, ah, they are so ugly yet majestic. You can even tie a leash around its neck and control it to fly around like flying a kite! And its claws, you…”
Little He was talking non-stop while spitting saliva, he became more and more excited as he spoke. He completely ignored the increasingly cold expression on Lou Yan’s face and the murderous intent in his eyes.
After he finished talking, Little He finally stopped, smiling happily, “If you agree to train it, you don’t have to keep it asleep in the solution for the next two days. Of course, if you can succeed in this, I promise to give you credit in front of the big boss and make you the youngest senior employee of our Victory Factory after the auction ends!”
As soon as this was said, everyone present was in an uproar. They looked at Lou Yan with envy and jealousy, their voices of protest and admiration mixed together.
“What? He can actually become a senior employee?”
“He’s only been working for a short while and he can become a senior employee? D*mn it, why didn’t this good opportunity fall on my head!”
“You? Can you tame this terrifying pet?”
Lou Yan smirked, took the blue clothes handed over by Little He, and said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, “Ah, I’d be delighted.”
Afterwards, Lou Yan turned to look at Fu Xuezhou. Fu Xuezhou had been looking down at Lou Yan’s hand holding his arm, but when he felt Lou Yan’s gaze, he slowly raised his head and met Lou Yan’s eyes with a sluggish expression.
The monster had three overlapping pupils in its eyes, which were terrifying and intimidating. But Lou Yan only saw calmness and indifference in them.
The disgusting words spoken by Little He and the discussions of the surrounding employees seemed to be of no concern to him.
Lou Yan turned back to Little He, and the smile on his lips deepened little by little. With his prominent features, this smile was quite dazzling.
“Please look forward to it. On the night of the auction, I promise there will be a very, very exciting performance.”
