In the afternoon, Wang Teng arrived at a seafood buffet restaurant as planned on the fourth floor of Yida Plaza.
He scanned the restaurant and saw Lu Zhiqing waving at him. He nodded at her and walked over.
Wang Teng said, “Why are you so early!”
“I’m the one treating, so I have to come early.” Lu Zhiqing pulled her hair back and smiled.
“You’re too polite. Actually, there’s no need to do this. You also answered my queries on the incubation of eggs. Actually, I’ll still have to trouble you in the future.”.
“Let’s stop thanking each other. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask me. Come, let’s take a look at the food first.” Lu Zhiqing passed the menu to Wang Teng.
The two of them ordered some dishes.
The service of this restaurant was fast. The dishes they ordered came continuously. Wang Teng and Lu Zhiqing chatted as they ate the seafood.
Suddenly, Wang Teng heard something and asked in surprise, “Do you know about mutated beasts and star beasts too?”
“Yes. It’s hard to do pet business now. More and more people are raising mutated beasts. They want to appear high-class, so I also have to focus on high-class products related to mutated beasts and star beasts,” Lu Zhiqing said.
“That’s not easy. Mutated beasts and star beasts can be fatal. You are just a normal person. It will be hard for you to handle them.” Wang Teng frowned.
“I know. That’s why I don’t plan to sell large-sized mutated beasts. I’ll target the small ones, and they can only be cubs. Actually, mutated beasts are similar to normal animals. If you start training them when they are cubs, they won’t normally harm their master,” Lu Zhiqing replied.
“Some are naturally ferocious. You need to be careful.” Wang Teng didn’t say much and just reminded her.
“Okay, I will take note of it.” Lu Zhiqing nodded and smiled.
Both of them enjoyed the meal. Wang Teng and Lu Zhiqing’s relationship got slightly closer. In the past, they were just acquaintances, but now, they could be considered friends.
At least Wang Teng felt that he was able to look for Lu Zhiqing and asked about incubation matters more comfortably now.
“If you need any help in the future, you can look for me,” Wang Teng said to Lu Zhiqing before they parted.
“Alright, I won’t be polite with you.” Lu Zhiqing smiled.
She had already witnessed Wang Teng’s ability, so she knew how important this connection was.
After the two of them bade farewell, Wang Teng went back home.
However, he didn’t expect the atmosphere at home to be so strange.
The three principals of the top three martial arts academies in Donghai were sitting in his living room right now, staring at each other awkwardly.
Wang Shengguo and Li Xiumei sat at the side, looking at each other in silence.
Donghai was one of the top few important cities in China. The principals of the top three martial arts academies were not only powerful, but they also held great influence.
You could say that they were part of the upper echelon of Donghai.
You could even say that they had control over the city.
The status of the Wang family was nothing compared to them. It was like the difference between an elephant and an ant.
Hence, Wang Shengguo was in a dilemma. He couldn’t afford to offend any one of them.
When they saw Wang Teng coming home, the two of them heaved a sigh of relief. Wang Shengguo said, “My son is back. Why don’t you all look for him?”
He pushed the burden smoothly without any hesitation.
Wang Teng immediately felt the gazes of the principals landing on him. They were so intense that it felt as though they wanted to peel off his skin.
Cough, cough.
Bosses, I’m not gay!
“Wang Teng, let’s not beat around the bush. Today, the three of us have come for you. You can take a look at our conditions and make a decision.” The principal of Leiting Martial House was an impatient guy. He couldn’t accept indecisive people, so he was very straightforward.
“That’s right. A martial warrior should be decisive. Look at our proposals and choose your academy,” Fu Tiandao agreed and said.
He didn’t mention that Wang Teng was already a martial disciple of Jixin Martial House. After all, martial disciples and martial warriors were different. He wouldn’t use this to confuse Wang Teng.
Also, even if he was a martial warrior of Jixin Martial House, he could still be snatched by other martial academies. Ultimately, it depended on everyone’s conditions.
The one who could give better conditions would be the winner.
Wang Teng was the top scholar of the martial arts exam, and he had become a martial warrior at such a young age. The three principals were determined to get him.
Talents were rare in the martial warriors’ era.
Incredible talents were even rarer.
There were less than ten people in China who were able to become martial warriors at his age. This was the sum of all the recent years combined.
The most important thing was, most of these young people came from martial warrior families. They had ample resources with personal guidance from martial warriors.
Wang Teng couldn’t be compared with them. Also, he was able to kill a star beast not long after he became a martial warrior.
Based on what they knew, only one or two of those talents were able to achieve this. Most of them just followed behind their seniors and gained experience. They didn’t do much.
This was why they had high hopes for Wang Teng’s future.
He had high potential and he was powerful. His background wasn’t very complicated either. Who wouldn’t like him?
Thus, the three of them asked their superiors for the best conditions and benefits they could offer. Bargaining wouldn’t work in this case.
They immediately gave Wang Teng the best they could at the first meeting. It was a game of who was more daring.
Wang Teng smiled when he saw them being so direct and giving the ‘we are very rich, you can ask for anything’ expression.
“Boss, have some tea.”
Wang Teng sat down in front of them and poured tea for them. Then, he asked the question he had in his mind, “Will there be a conflict between the martial arts academy and the school?”
“Don’t worry about this. The school is a public organization. It will not conflict with the interest of the martial arts academy. Even if you apply for a military college where the rules are stringent, we will let you prioritize your college. All these can be written in the proposal. Many powerful warriors in colleges and even the military have their names under our academy,” Fu Tiandao explained.
“That’s right.” Jiang Hong and Gu Hefei nodded in agreement.
Wang Teng nodded. He picked up the three proposals on the table and took a look. The names of the three martial arts academies were written on the top.
He skipped the first proposal that Jixin Martial House prepared and looked at Leiting Martial House’s proposal first.
The principals of Leiting Martial House and Bailian Martial House raised eyebrows immediately.
This was unequal treatment.
It was obvious that Wang Teng preferred Jixin Martial House.
He read their proposals first and left the Jixin Martial House’s proposal for the last.
If the three proposals had similar content, Wang Teng would definitely choose Jixin Martial House.
This was indeed the case. After all, Wang Teng had been training at Jixin Martial House for some time, so he was familiar with the environment there.
Fu Tiandao saw Wang Teng picking up Jixin Martial House’s proposal and reading it silently after he finished scrolling through the other two proposals. He raised his eyebrows at Jiang Hong and Gu Hefei. A confident and delighted smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Jiang Hong and Gu Heifei instantly had a bad feeling.
Wang Teng finally finished reading all the proposals. He put down the proposals in his hand and sighed. Everyone’s gaze landed on him.
“How is it?” Wang Shengguo asked agitatedly. Actually, he really wanted to look at the content of the proposals.
“Mr. Wang can take a look too.” Fu Tiandao smiled and passed the proposals to him.
After Wang Shengguo finished reading them, he knew that Wang Teng probably had already made his decision. If it was him, he would make the same decision too.
“I choose Jixin Martial House.” As expected, Wang Teng said his answer without any hesitation.
