Chapter 33 Monster Breeder Consultan (1/2)
These few days were tiring, so Gao Peng decided to take a proper rest. He curled up in bed and wrapped his blanket around him, becoming like a huge furry ball.
In the early morning, the sounds of hawkers peddling their wares could be heard from the window.
Quite a number of them had already started their day's work, adding a bit of liveliness to the world.
Ding ding dong dong… The jarring sound of an alarm came from beside the pillow. Along with the sound, vibrations were also felt from the pillow.
A hand reached out from under the blankets and accurately grabbed the phone. With a click, the alarm sound went off.
Only after a few minutes of silence did Gao Peng get out of the blanket. He sat up and yawned. His hair was messy like a bird's nest.
”Ah this won't do. If I don't work I won't be able to afford feeding those two heavy eaters.” Gao Peng rubbed away the crusty stuff from his eyes.
Then he got out of bed, got dressed, washed up and prepared breakfast.
Clang, clang, clang-
Rhythmic knocking sounds came from the living room.
Gao Peng turned around to look while frying his egg. The corners of his mouth twitched.
In the living room, Da Zi had its food basin in its mouth and was staring expectantly at him. Its two maxillae were like a pair of chopsticks, hitting against the edge of the basin, making loud clanging sounds.
The food basin was empty, with nothing inside.
”Wait a while,” Gao Peng motioned Da Zi to keep still.
With a flip of the pan, the egg flipped over and sizzled. A fragrant aroma filled the air.
Quickly, Gao Peng removed the lid from the pot on another stove. His radish and spare rib soup was boiling inside. He turned off the fire and sprinkled some chopped green onions on top.
The green onion fragrance and meat aroma mixed wonderfully together. Gao Peng motioned Da Zi over with his hand, ”Come here.”
Da Zi tottered over with its food basin and stared with wide eyes as its master put all the radishes and spare ribs into the basin.
Gao Peng looked at the leftover soup in the pot. He would make a bowl of delicious pork rib soup noodles with this.
…
”Boss.” Xun Quanquan was already at the reception when Gao Peng arrived.
Gao Peng nodded his head in reply and went into his office.
Slightly past 10am, Gao Peng suddenly received a call from an unknown number.
”Hello?” Gao Peng was a little suspicious. There were few people who knew his number.
”Little boss, it's me, Ma Jian.”
Gao Peng finally realized what was going on. It was the rich Mr. Ma.
The bold and forthright manner in which Ma Jian parted with his money during his last visit left a deep impression on Gao Peng. Ma Jian did not even think twice about paying ten times the normal consultation fees.
”Little boss, I said before that I have another Familiar that I hoped you could help me with right? Do you have time for me today?”
”Yes, I do have free time. Please come over,” Gao Peng said, nodding his head.
”Alright!” Ma Jian happily put down the phone.
After putting down the phone, Gao Peng saved Ma Jian's number. The contact read: Big Money Ma.
Gao Peng's office was relatively large. His office desk was placed along the side of a floor-to-ceiling window, allowing the sunlight to shine onto the desk, outlining Gao Peng's shadow.
Knock-knock-knock. The sound of door knocking came from outside his office.
That's quick, Gao Peng thought with surprise. He had only put down the phone less than ten minutes ago. Did that guy live within the city center?
”Come in,” said Gao Peng.
”Hello,” said a middle-aged man in a simple grey suit and gold-rimmed glasses as he stepped into the office.
The middle-aged man was surprised to see that Gao Peng was such a young man at first. But almost immediately after, his good upbringing prevented him from showing any inappropriate expressions on his face.
”You are Mr. Gao, I presume? I am the general manager of BlueShield Protection Company. My name is Liu Senlin.”
