Elf: Hard work pays off, and I became Giovanni.

"Little Lu... is truly remarkable!"

When Lu Chen sat down, the unfamiliar old man next to Grandpa Tian said something directly.

"Um... this old gentleman?"

"Your surname is Li, so just call me Old Man Li!"

Tian Guoping clearly didn't want to pay attention to Li Jiande, his gaze quite impatient.

"Ahem, Lao Tian, ​​at least give Lao Li some face in front of the younger generation." Zhang Yuwen smoothed things over between the two, then looked at Lu Chen and said, "This is the president of our Dragon Kingdom Elf Association headquarters."

The Grand Master!?

Such a big background!

Lu Chen was slightly startled and nodded slightly to Li Jiande in greeting: "Grandpa Li."

"Hmm..." Li Jiande's gaze was gentle, looking at Lu Chen as if he were his own nephew.

Suddenly, he smiled slowly and said, "Lu Chen, I arranged the mission in the Chengping Secret Realm. Luckily, you were able to return unharmed, otherwise, given Lao Tian's temper, he would have given me a good beating!"

"I apologize to you here first..."

Done.

He then slowly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Lu Chen.

Saw this scene.

Lu Chen dared not accept such a grand gesture and quickly stepped forward to help Li Jiande up: "Grandpa Li, you flatter me!"

"You don't blame me?"

“This…” Lu Chen glanced at Tian Guoping beside him, then said embarrassedly, “Actually, I didn’t encounter any danger at all in the Chengping Secret Realm.”

after that.

Lu Chen briefly recounted his encounter in the Chengping Secret Realm, omitting some of the dangerous battles, mainly to reassure the older generation.

"So, the Peaceful Secret Realm will reopen later?"

"Well, we might need that person's approval at that time..." Lu Chen told a little lie out of 'necessity'.

After all, even if he claimed to be the ruler of peace, most of the people present probably wouldn't believe him.

"It's good that it can be opened!" Li Jiande breathed a sigh of relief.

As the president of the Pokémon Association headquarters.

The problems that China is currently facing are like a house riddled with holes.

If a large, resource-rich secret realm like the Peaceful Secret Realm encounters problems, the entire northern part of the Dragon Kingdom will face a shortage of resources.

"By the way, Xiao Lu, why don't you start a company sometime?"

After hearing about the current situation.

Xie Changqing also shared his thoughts.

"Since that lord knows you, why don't we set up a company in your name to mine resources in the Chengping Secret Realm? The Dragon Kingdom will still buy them at cost price, how about that?"

“That’s right!” Zhang Yuwen slapped his thigh, his face flushed from taking a couple of sips of wine, and said excitedly, “During my years in the league, quite a few people did the same thing.”

"Once the announcement is made, those with ill intentions who want to enter the secret realm and cause trouble again will need to be investigated by us..."

"That's a good idea, Lu Chen, why don't you consider it?"

Old Master Tian, ​​who had been silent, slowly spoke up at this moment.

He certainly understood the key point.

"Oh well!"

Seeing that almost all of his seniors supported him, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile wryly and agree.

After all, starting a company was his original idea.

Unexpectedly, it was achieved under these circumstances.

"Since it's all decided, Changqing, you'll take charge of Xiao Lu's company. We old folks won't get involved..."

"It's settled then! Lu Chen, head over there. It's too much trouble for you to have dinner with us old fogies!"

The look of disgust on Old Li and Old Tian's faces has lessened somewhat by now.

After figuring out the crux of the matter, they all let Lu Chen go and stopped accompanying them.

"Ah."

Lu Chen smiled and didn't mind, then walked lightly to Lu Yao and the others.

Take a long breath.

Regardless, the scene just now was all from the older generation.

Being watched by so many older people must have put a lot of pressure on him.

"came back?"

As soon as she walked to his side, Lu Yao's gaze instantly shifted to Lu Chen, and she carefully helped him take off his backpack.

Then she moved aside and made room for Lu Chen.

"Boss!"

"team leader!"

"Lu Chen!"

"Junior brother~!"

"..."

Looking at the large table full of people, Lu Chen's smile was particularly relaxed.

Then he looked at Si Zhenzhen and said, "Zhenzhen, why don't you come and be my secretary after the college entrance exam?"

"...You really think of me as your secretary?!"

"Well, you have experience, don't you? I just discussed it with Old Tian and Uncle Xie, and we'll start a company after the college entrance exams..."

"I will think about it!"

Si Zhenzhen rolled her eyes at Lu Chen, her expression unreadable.

Upon hearing that Lu Chen was going to start a company, Xie Anran jumped up and ran to Lu Chen's side with her hands raised.

"Junior, you've already started your own company, why don't you let your senior be the CEO?"

"Senior, you've had too much to drink again~"

"I didn't! Okay, okay!"

Clinging to Xie Anran, Lu Chen could only look at Xie Qinyi with a wry smile.

Here, she's probably the only one who can tame this drunkard.

"Xie Anran!"

"Huh?! Qinyi?"

"Come and sit down!"

"Oh~"

After being scolded by his younger sister, Lu Chen couldn't help but smile.

However, his gaze then turned to Xie Qinyi, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Qinyi, how about you take over as the future CEO of the company?"

"I?"

"Yes, you have experience handling things in Chengdu, so you should be able to learn quickly."

"Well... I'll give it a try."

Xie Qinyi nodded; she hadn't expected Lu Chen to put her in charge of the company.

"No! We did everything, what did you do?!"

Looking at Lu Chen's attitude of being a hands-off manager.

Si Zhenzhen immediately realized something was wrong.

"Ahem, I'll be the boss!"

"The boss doesn't need to manage things!"

Have you ever seen a boss who sits in an office all day?

"..."

That makes perfect sense, and there's no reason to refute it!

"Haha, Lu Chen, how about arranging a position for our Su Na too?"

"Of course! Sister Su, you can come if you'd like!"

Lu Chen had originally planned to have Su Na come and help.

After all, people with superpowers are incredibly useful when it comes to helping with business.

"Then I'll be waiting!"

Su Jie smiled when she heard Lu Chen's words.

Seeing her older sister's expression, Suna couldn't help but pout.

Ah!

grown ups!

"Let's not discuss this now..."

Seeing that the topic seemed to have gone astray, Li Qing stepped in at the right moment to steer the conversation, saying, "Today, Lu Chen and his team finished their group matches, and the preliminary round participants for each major region have also been decided. Qinyi, tell your 087 sister to drink less..."

"Tomorrow's preliminary round will be another tough battle!"

Speaking of the match.
