The next morning.
After Luka ruled out options such as cafes, bars, restaurants, and movie theaters, Xia Ye finally had to meet her in the "Lightning Debt Collection" conference room.
When she arrived at the appointed place, Luca, who was always on time, did not show up. Xia Ye was not in a hurry, she randomly picked a chair and sat down, and picked up the crystal ball.
"Please... please use tea..."
She looked up and found a nervous girl standing in front of her, holding a cup of black tea in her hand. Judging from the uniform on her body, she was an employee of "Lightning Debt Collection".
"Oh, just leave it there." Xia Ye pointed to the table, then lowered his head and looked at the crystal ball.
"Well, well... Sister Luca said before she left that if she came back late, she must have been delayed by a commissioned task. Let me entertain you..."
"It's okay, I'll just wait, you go and do your work." Xia Ye said with a smile and started looking at the crystal ball again.
But the girl still stayed in front of her and refused to leave: "Excuse me...are you, Sir Xia Ye, right?"
"Well, just call me Xia Ye."
The girl's eyes lit up: "Then, can I ask you a question?"
Xia Ye nodded.
"Will you buy Sister Luca as a pet?"
What the hell kind of problem is this?
However, Xia Ye still answered frankly: "No."
"Really not?"
"real."
"Oh..." There was a sigh of joy and disappointment outside the conference room door.
"What's going on?" Xia Ye pointed to the door and asked.
The girl scratched her face in embarrassment: "Hey~ Everyone is very curious. The company has rumored that Sister Luca and you have an unusual relationship, so they pushed me out to ask you."
"Why is that you?"
"Because I am the most junior in the company..." the girl said dejectedly, but then cheered up: "But is it true that you have a good relationship with Sister Luca?"
Xia Ye thought for a while and replied: "It's good. It was my first time to go to the pet market and she took me there..."
The girl was speechless, and there was another "Oh" sound outside the door.
"...But even if we have a good relationship, it only means that we are friends. Where did the rumors about this pet come from?" Xia Ye asked curiously.
"But don't you, Sir Xia Ye, like pets very much? For example, you bought the chairman of 'Yuan Ship Leasing'. So everyone is also very concerned about this matter. If Sister Luka is really bought, many people will I can’t bear to part with her, after all, she is the best partner in the company to everyone.”
"That's a rumor. I didn't buy the chairman of Yuan Ship Leasing as a pet." Xia Ye hurriedly denied it.
"Huh? But Sir Xia Ye has already invested in the 'Ocean Ship Leasing', right? I've seen the news~"
"This... is indeed true."
The girl smiled and stopped talking, looking at her with an expression of "that's okay".
"It's really not like that. It's just a pure business investment." Xia Ye explained again.
"I understand... A big guy on the Internet has popularized science. Is this called 'reasonable fee avoidance'? After all, according to the "Pet Transaction Law", high-priced pet transactions require a large fee for 'ether exploration'. So the big witches in the upper city often use other methods to avoid..."
Is there such a routine? Xia Ye was an eye-opener.
Seeing that the other party was speaking eloquently, she felt that even if she jumped into the etheric sea, she wouldn't be able to cleanse herself...and there seemed to be no need to cleanse herself. It's boring to wait here anyway, why don't we all chat together.
"Wait," she interrupted.
"Eh?"
"Why don't you just call everyone outside the door in? Or... do you think I'm scary?" Xia Ye pointed at himself with a smile.
"No!" The girl waved her hands hurriedly, "It would be better to say that Sir Xia Ye is completely different from the great witch I imagined!"
Because that's not what I am... Xia Ye thought to herself.
At the same time, people waiting at the door of the conference room to watch the excitement rushed in.
Therefore, Master Xia Ye, the great witch from Uptown, the focus of recent gossip news, pet lover and beluga hunter, came to inspect the "Lightning Debt Collection" this morning and held employee discussions with company employees. The meeting was held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere, and both parties had an in-depth exchange of views on the gossip about Luka and Xia Ye.
…
Xia Ye feels that she has gained quite a lot. Speaking of which, every time I met Luka before, they were talking about business, and Luka was a person of few words, so after knowing her for so long, Xia Ye still didn't understand many things about her.
After today's in-depth exchange, she finally learned many things that Luka had never mentioned in the past.
For example, "Lightning Leasing" is a partnership with a total of six partners. In addition to being a "director-level debt collector," Luca also has another more important identity-she is one of the partners.
In order to avoid internal friction, the six partners are each responsible for different industries. For example, Luca is mainly responsible for the debt collection business in the whaling and shipbuilding industries in Xiacheng District.
According to everyone, although Luka looks very serious on the surface, she is actually very tolerant to her subordinates, so everyone likes to hang out with her. If it weren't for the dangerous debt collection business in the whaling industry, high commissions and low commissions, they would "jump" to work for Luka. I'm afraid there will be more people.
…
When Luka opened the door, she thought she had entered the wrong conference room.
But the next second, she saw Xia Ye.
The white-haired girl was sitting in the middle of the conference table. Both sides were filled with employees who were supposed to be at work. Because there were not enough seats, even the chairs in the booths were pulled into the conference room. Everyone gathered around and listened to Xia Ye's talk about the ether in the ether. Story of sea adventure:
"At that time, I was surrounded by thousands of seven-leafed beasts. Although the 'Thunder Feather' could kill hundreds of them at one time, the remaining ones continued to come up. Finally, a seven-leafed beast bit me Immediately afterwards, more arms rushed forward and tore my body apart. If it weren’t for the mark that you sister Luca branded on my stomach... yes, it was the one that forced me to leave in the bathroom, I would You'll be dead that time..."
"you……"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone.
"...If you leave the meeting room within ten seconds, it will not be counted as absenteeism."
Everyone turned around and found Luca standing at the door of the conference room, looking at them expressionlessly.
In less than ten seconds, Xia Ye was the only one left in the conference room.
Xia Ye didn't care, and greeted Luka with a smile: "You are finally back!"
"Well, the other party was a little tricky and it took a little longer than expected." Luka said as he randomly picked a seat and sat down.
Xia Ye looked at it and found that there were indeed several damages on the other party's clothes, and even a strand of neat long black hair had been cut off.
"You said yesterday that there have been more commissions recently?" she asked.
"Well, speaking of which, this matter is related to you."
"Huh?"
"There have been more people going out to hunt whales recently, and there are many new people among them. The reason is that you captured the beluga some time ago, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention to the whaling industry, plus you published Many people were inspired by that speech and rushed into the etheric sea regardless of whether they had the ability or not..."
Xia Ye probably guessed what Luka was going to say.
Sure enough, the other party continued: "Of course they all failed. Some people died directly in the etheric sea, and many of them escaped by chance. However, they had to face debt collection from their creditors immediately, so more people have gone bankrupt recently. A lot, our commissions have increased.”
"That's great!" Xia Ye cheered.
Luca: "..."
"I just need a lot of bankrupt people right now. If the plan goes well, in the future, bankrupt people will have a third option besides death and becoming pets, and your work should become a lot easier," she explained.
"Third option?"
"Well, they can also turn into cat witches."
