Pet King - Chapter 179

Chapter 179
Everyone noticed the confident smile on Li Yuanfei’s face . His confidence seemed to be emotionally contagious . That was 120% of confidence, no doubt at all .


Why is he so confident? That was a question in everyone’s mind .
Most of the reporters had attended such ceremonies many times . In one hand, they could finish their work; on the other hand, the cash gift was very attractive… They had seen many owners of huge enterprises . They all faked confidence in such situations . The reporters were bright; they could tell who was really confident and who was not .
Li Yuanfei was the real confident one .
After the opening, he looked down to the audience from above, as if he was their majesty the King .
"Welcome, everyone, to this ceremony . This is very important to us . I assure you this is going to be a ceremony full of fun!" There weren’t any notes in his hands . His speech was spontaneous .
"In this ceremony, we are here not only to celebrate our brand-new headquarters building, but also to reveal the new logo of our company . "
Oh? The reporters started whispering .
A new company logo? That was interesting .
The old logo of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket was a big golden star with a line of small stars in a curve . It was not special, but it was a good logo . What would a good logo look like?
"I think," a reporter said to Yu quietly, "They might pick an animal as a logo . They are a pet store, right?"
Qian Tong responded, "I agree . Is it going to be a cat or a dog?"
"It might be a lion or a tiger, the king of all animals . It is mighty and powerful, a great fit to Stars Pet’s position in the industry . "
Yu said, "It might be a dragon, which is even more powerful?"
Qian Tong and the reporter both agreed that it couldn’t be a dragon .
Li Yuanfei successfully made everyone curious . He smiled, walked over to the red cloth, and landed his hand on the red cloth .
Every reporter and cameraman all focused on the red cloth .
"Here, I present to you… the new logo of Stars Pet Chain Supermarket!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled off the red cloth .
Hundreds of people’s eyes landed on the mascot .
Silence .
After a short period of silence, people started murmuring to each other .
"What the heck is it?"
"Is it a… cat? It looks like a cat…"
"I don’t think it is a cat…"
"This is so difficult…"
The reporters were not the only ones to whom the logo was revealed to for the first time . Many of the lower-level staff members had never seen it before either .
The people’s reactions were all within Li Yuanfei’s expectation .
In fact, this logo was the subject of a heated discussion within higher management because it was not clear what it was or meant .
"Okay," he looked at his watch, "It is about time . I have to catch a flight . Our PR manager will take care of you guys…"
The PR manager walked up to the podium right away .
Li Yuanfei walked towards his Cadillac limousine .
The driver was waiting by the door and opened the door for the boss .
Li Yuanfei sat inside the car, stretched, and made himself comfortable .
Bang! Bang!
Someone knocked at the window .


At a glance, Li Yuanfei saw that it was the senior manager from the company’s legal department .
He opened up a small gap .
"What is it?" He asked .
"Something went wrong in the franchise store in Binhai city . The owner is a suspect for hiring someone for intentional assault . He was arrested and we are handling this matter," The manager knew his boss well enough so he was brief and to the point .
"Binhai city?" Li Yuanfei was surprised . Didn’t the game send a tip about detecting an elfin in Binhai city?
Was it a coincidence? It had to be .

He waved, meaning that he got it . He didn’t need to give any instruction . If he had to take care of everything, then many people would lose their jobs .
He closed the window .
"Go to the airport," he said to the driver .
The Cadillac started slowly . After closing the window, the car was completely quiet; even the PR manager’s speech was blocked outside the window .
Li Yuanfei had more important issues to think about… the chance to meet with the Secretary of Commerce was hard to come by . He had to fetch this opportunity to impress him . Everything could be prepared on the plane .
Turning on his cellphone, he quickly grasped the news .
It was almost Single Day sale festival, the biggest online sale event in the country . Many e-commerce tycoons were getting ready to roll up their sleeves .
Of course, every year, the two big rivals were in a fierce competition .
Since he knew that they were players of the game, he comprehended the news from a brand-new perspective .
There was a sarcastic smile on his face .
Grey dog in the east and black cat from the sky?


Rubbish!
Next to him, a cat was resting on the beautiful genuine leather seat . There was a big smile on its face .
He petted it and then turned on the game .

[Unlocked History]:
On October 1st, 1999, the fifth generation RMB was officially launched . It gradually replaced the fourth generation RMB and had become the major currency in the country . It had become something the Chinese were familiar with .
After more than a decade, someone surprisingly found that there were a few weird-looking cats hiding on the notes .
No one knew how those cat patents appeared on the notes . Maybe it was an anti-fraudulent mark? Maybe it was because of something else . . .
China was growing more powerful day by day . RMB had become one of the major currencies in east Asia, southeast Asia and even throughout the whole world .
Many people longed for, worshipped and had faith in RMB .
In a short time since the fifth generation RMB launched, the bowing cat collected a stunning faithful power which took other Elfins thousands of years to collect .
Under fanatical faithful and worship powers, the bowing cat turned into an Elfin .
It was the most powerful Maneki-neko in the legendary grade . It was granted a goddess status . However, it was downgraded half a grade due to the unstable nature and uncertainty of currency .
[Unlocked Real Name]: The fifth generation RMB material cat from ancient times
The building with a perfect RMB note ratio was disappearing from the rear mirrors as the car drove far .
He noticed there was a note under his feet, so he picked it up . His shoes were clean so the note was very clean . It looked almost brand-new – in fact, it was brand-new .
There were some more 100 Yuan notes scattered inside the car . Those notes were not there before he got out of the limo . Also, besides him, no one had gotten in the vehicle .
He picked up all the magical notes and rolled them in a black case . He was very familiar with this, as if he had done it a thousand times .
Half-closing his eyes, he started to rest .
In the meeting in Beijing, he really wanted to meet the other two players . He would’ve enjoyed seeing their desperate and terrified faces . He was so ready for that moment .
He didn’t really need to capture other Elfins, which was a waste of his time .
He was not interested in the Pet King Battle, which was hilarious and meaningless to him .
His Maneki-neko was unbeatable because it perfectly represented RMB .
Except…he opened his eyes, pulled out his cell phone and searched something .
Launch date of the fourth generation RMB: April 27, 1987 .
Launch date of the fifth generation RMB: October, 1999 .
Worries somewhat came up in his heart . He locked the cell phone .
Currency was not stable and was uncertain…
I need to resolve all the problems before that happens…
