Chapter 76: Planning to Take Over the Eastern Zoo, Meeting

Xiao Ai's office was at the end of the corridor behind the central office. The long corridor was lined with conference rooms, guest rooms, and break rooms at intervals.

Near Xiao Ai's office were the independent functional areas like the finance room, data room, and archives.

Zeng Shen knocked gently, then unlocked the door and entered Xiao Ai's office.

Seeing Zeng Shen, Xiao Ai immediately stood up with a smile and said, "Master, what brings you here unexpectedly? Is there something you need me to do?"

"Can't I just come to see you?" Zeng Shen replied with a smile, looking at the red and green stock lines on her laptop. "You're trading stocks?"

"The group's new city project and the prefab food factory require substantial investment, so I'm managing the funds a bit to increase Longshen Group's stock value. Later, I'll sell some shares to raise money for various materials," Xiao Ai explained.

"If we need money urgently, we can also sell some of the green emeralds abroad," Zeng Shen suggested, then shared his reason for visiting.

Xiao Ai smiled gently and said, "Master wants to take a little break, huh?"

"Ha ha, something like that," Zeng Shen laughed heartily.

Xiao Ai closed her laptop screen, saying, "Let's find a corner to move the hive to my Divine Energy Vehicle. Then I'll get someone to work on separating the wild hive. Once it's ready, I'll let you know so we can move it to the divine realm in batches."

"Alright."

Zeng Shen nodded, wrapping an arm around Xiao Ai's soft waist as they walked out.

As they entered the central office, Sun Li was about to stand up to regain some face by berating Zeng Shen.

But seeing Zeng Shen with his arm around their CEO, Xiao Ai, as they passed through the office, her mouth fell open in disbelief.

Zeng Shen, the so-called "poor guy," was with the CEO!

Her mind raced, imagining an incredible story of a poor boy and a domineering, wealthy CEO.

She suddenly recalled her earlier words to Zeng Shen, her face turning pale with fear of being fired by Xiao Ai at his behest.

She panicked, not wanting to leave such a well-paying job with excellent benefits, close to home and with minimal work.

She had bragged about it to her friends just yesterday.

What if they found out she was fired?

Zeng Shen paid no mind to Sun Li's concerns. After all, they lived in different worlds.

Once downstairs, he and Xiao Ai each drove a silver and a white RV toward the eastern outskirts.

Before long, they stopped in a secluded forest.

After ensuring no one was around, Zeng Shen transferred the iron barrel hive from his Divine Energy Vehicle to Xiao Ai's RV.

The hive grew agitated, buzzing to attack Xiao Ai, but Zeng Shen quickly calmed them, instructing them to obey Xiao Ai.

He then opened the divine realm's door, placing the hornet family he had tamed into the realm before closing it.

After finishing the task, Zeng Shen leaned out of the RV window, asking Xiao Ai, who was about to board her RV, "Where do you plan to place this iron barrel hive?"

"There's a flower field in the eastern zoo," Xiao Ai replied.

"Will they allow it?"

"They won't, but their poor management has led them to rent it out. I plan to negotiate with the director to take it over, announcing a temporary closure for renovation. In reality, it'll be used as a new city shelter, with an underground tunnel connecting to the zoo when the parking lot is built."

"Sounds good. Let's head back," Zeng Shen agreed.

Xiao Ai nodded, "See you tonight, Master."

"Yes, meet at the newly opened 'Good Again' restaurant near the studio. Message me when you're on your way," Zeng Shen reminded her.

"Got it. Oh, and remember to bring a hangover pill tonight."

"Sure."

Zeng Shen nodded, watching Xiao Ai drive away before leaving the forest himself.

He pondered where to go next, deciding to head west to scout for new intelligent species information.

Of course, if he encountered Huang Ziliang and his gang, he wouldn't mind changing his appearance to give them a surprise.

Hours later, having found no new intelligent species or the gang, Zeng Shen bought a hangover pill from a pharmacy and drove to the studio building.

Arriving at the Juling Building, he messaged Li Yuqing that he had arrived, then stood by the car waiting.

Soon, a youthful, elegantly dressed figure appeared before him, catching his eye.

It was none other than Li Yuqing.

She wore a light yellow spaghetti strap dress, the delicate fabric hugging her slender, tall frame, accentuating her curves.

Her slightly curled hair cascaded over her bare shoulders, like snow lotus buds blooming shyly.

Below the hem, her long, slender legs wore silver low-heeled sandals.

The smooth skin of her feet glowed under the lights, her toes like pearls, arranged neatly and invitingly.

Noticing Zeng Shen admiring her carefully chosen outfit, Li Yuqing tilted her back slightly, playfully flicking her hair, her bright eyes twinkling like clear lakes as she teasingly asked, "Do I look good, hubby?"

Zeng Shen snapped back to reality, "Yes, beautiful, like a water fairy."

"Uh," Li Yuqing feigned offense, playfully pretending to hit him, "Are you calling me fickle?"

"Ha ha, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that," Zeng Shen dodged slightly, wrapping an arm around her slender waist.

"Alright, enough teasing. Xiao Ai is punctual and probably already there. Let's go."

"Okay, let's go," Li Yuqing said, resting her head against him as they walked to the restaurant.

Inside the 'Good Again' restaurant, they headed straight to room 888.

The door was ajar.

Pushing it open, Zeng Shen was momentarily stunned.

Xiao Ai had clearly dressed up too.

She wore a pale pink bodycon dress that looked striking against her skin.

The smooth fabric hugged her curves, highlighting her shapely figure, like a finely crafted piece of jade.

Her long, white legs were exposed, reminiscent of elegantly carved ivory columns.

Li Yuqing's eyes sparkled at Xiao Ai's appearance.

Seeing Zeng Shen enter, Xiao Ai stood gracefully, a hint of amusement in her gaze. "I thought I'd been stood up, Shen."

"Sorry, traffic," Zeng Shen fibbed.
