It's already the 21st century, and I just found the imperial seal

A gray Jeep Wrangler traversed through towering mountains and finally slowly drove across the vast grasslands.

"Wow--"

"This is my first time visiting the grasslands in spring, they're so beautiful!"

In the back seat, sisters Ye Simeng and Ye Siyu excitedly leaned against the car window, admiring the beautiful scenery outside.

Blue sky and white clouds, boundless sky and earth.

The withered grass of winter has now been renewed with new green, which is very eye-catching.

In the distance, you can occasionally see cattle and sheep grazing on the grass, while their owners lie leisurely to the side, enjoying the gentle breeze and the rising sun.

Ye Siyu leaned her head closer to the driver's seat. "Honey, how much longer until we get there?"

Su Yu glanced at the navigation map as he drove, "There are still more than 20 kilometers to go."

Ye Siyu pouted, "I really want to go down and take some beautiful photos right now."

Ye Simeng placed one hand on her younger sister's thigh and gently pinched it, as if to remind her, or perhaps to warn her, "When we get to our destination, you can take pictures however you want!"

Warninged by her sister, Ye Siyu blinked innocently and picked up a small dog lying nearby. "Xiaobai, look at the scenery outside, it's so beautiful!"

The little white dog gazed at the scenery outside, a look of rapt delight appearing in its eyes. "Woof woof woof—"

"Ha ha--"

Ye Siyu couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You think it's beautiful too, don't you?"

Ye Simeng also picked up her puppy, "Linglong, isn't it pretty outside?"

A little spotted dog looked at the scene outside and barked a few times.

Listening to the two sisters talking behind him, Su Yu drove attentively.

This time, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to bring anyone else along, so he brought the Ye sisters with him.

While buying gyrfalcons, you can also take the opportunity to travel and relax.

He was almost at his destination, and he was still a little excited.

Big Yellow was sleeping on the passenger seat. He dreamed of leading a pack of horses, with a yellow dog on his left and a falcon on his right, wearing a brocade hat and a sable coat, and riding a thousand riders across the plains!
Of course, there are no Thousand Riders, but we can make do with Thousand Dogs.

As we drew closer to our destination, a city nestled on the grassland came into view.

At an intersection, Zhou Xiaoqiang and his girlfriend were waiting when the gray Jeep Wrangler slowly pulled up.

Rolling down the car window, Su Yu smiled and waved, "Xiao Qiang!"

Zhou Xiaoqiang jogged over, his face full of respect, and said, "President Su!"

Upon seeing the big boss, Li Yan blushed slightly and looked a little shy. "President Su!"

After being reminded by her fiancé, she ignored the two women in the car behind her and pretended nothing was wrong.

Of course, she was still somewhat surprised.

Because she knew these two women, who were minor internet celebrities with hundreds of thousands of followers.

I never expected her to be involved with her own boss. No wonder she lives in a villa and drives a luxury car.

"You're on your honeymoon before you've even had your wedding."

Su Yu smiled and said, "I'll be your witness when you get married on the 26th. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Zhou Xiaoqiang was slightly stunned, then overjoyed, "Thank you, President Su!"

Li Yan was also excited and said, "Thank you, President Su."

Their boss is so rich and powerful.

It is certainly a blessing for them to be their witnesses.

No wonder her fiancé is so loyal to the big boss, and she gets scolded for even the slightest complaint.

From now on, no matter how busy her fiancé is, she will never complain again!

"The sun is quite strong outside, and the ultraviolet rays are very intense."

Simply displaying his boss-like demeanor, Su Yu smiled and said, "You guys drive the car, let's go to the hotel first and talk."

Zhou Xiaoqiang also drove his Tank 300 and took the lead.

They arrived early, having naturally booked a hotel for the boss.

In the passenger seat, Li Yan was somewhat excited, "I didn't know the boss was so kind and easy to talk to."

"A scholar will die for one who understands him."

Zhou Xiaoqiang smiled and said, "The boss has been good to me, so I will work even harder."

Suddenly, Li Yan asked, "Was the money for our wedding, the money for the house and the car, given to us by our boss?"

I asked my fiancé last time, but he wouldn't tell me.

Zhou Xiaoqiang directly addressed his fiancée's question this time, saying, "When I went to Africa this time, President Su gave me a settlement allowance of five million yuan."

Li Yan suddenly became worried, "Won't it be dangerous?"

Zhou Xiaoqiang knew that women were all talk and no action. "Sitting at home isn't dangerous, are you going to give me money to spend?"

Li Yan pouted, "Wasn't I worried about you?"

"That's five million!"

Zhou Xiaoqiang sighed, "Do you think everyone has this opportunity?"

"After I went there, I earned five million every year!"

Upon learning her fiancé's actual salary, Li Yan couldn't help but lick her lips slightly. "Wouldn't that add up to fifty million over ten years? Twenty years would be a small goal?"

Zhou Xiaoqiang glanced at his girlfriend and said calmly, "It won't take twenty years, five at most!"

"Five years?"

Li Yan reacted quickly, "President Su is going to give you a raise?"

Zhou Xiaoqiang said, "I'm not telling you about my affairs because I'm afraid you'll go around telling everyone."

Li Yan was extremely excited, "Brother Qiang, I promise I won't tell anyone."

"President Su told me personally."

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xiaoqiang continued, "I made five million in the first year, ten million in the second, twenty million in the third, forty million in the fourth, and eighty million in the fifth!"

Her fiancé's salary doubled?

Li Yan was completely stunned.

I also developed a sincere admiration for my boss's courage and vision.

Such boldness and vision are simply unheard of and unseen.

A boss like that, who wouldn't die for someone who understands him, is simply unworthy of the trust and treatment he's received.

Of course, she also felt a sense of crisis, "Brother Qiang, now that you have money, you won't abandon me, will you?"

"If I wanted to get rid of you, I would have done so long ago."

Zhou Xiaoqiang laughed and said, "You followed me when I was penniless, so how could I not want you?"

"I'll go over there first and get familiar with the area, then I'll bring you over too."

"I initially thought you were a good person and an official, so I wanted to try getting to know you."

Li Yan chuckled, "I never expected that you would be so highly regarded by the boss in just six months."

After a pause, she couldn't help but ask, "How is your manager?"

“Brother You is more capable than me. He is meticulous and mature in his work. He is in charge of the security company and is highly trusted by President Su.”

Zhou Xiaoqiang said, "It's just a matter of risk and reward. His salary and benefits are definitely not as high as mine."

Li Yan smiled smugly, "Back then, Manager Lei asked a few of us to come here for blind dates, but none of them liked Manager Li. They're probably regretting it to death now."

"Back then, Brother You was indeed a bit unkempt, and coupled with being in the sun every day, his skin became old and dark."

Zhou Xiaoqiang shook his head. "It's normal that no woman is interested in him."

"But now Brother You has a girlfriend, and we'll probably get married this year."

As they approached the hotel, he instructed his fiancée, "I'm going out with President Su for a bit. You stay in the hotel and don't go anywhere."

Li Yan knew her fiancé had something very important to do, so she said, "You don't need to worry about me, I'll just stay at the hotel."

Zhou Xiaoqiang continued, "Also, don't tell anyone about anything concerning President Su."

"Brother Qiang, don't worry, I'm not stupid."

Li Yan nodded vigorously. "Although I can't help you much, I definitely won't hold you back."

Following Zhou Xiaoqiang to the hotel, Su Yu parked the car steadily in the parking space.

His approach to his capable subordinate was, of course, to make empty promises.

Five million in the first year, ten million in the second year, twenty million in the third year, forty million in the fourth year, and eighty million in the fifth year.

All of this depends on the fact that you must persevere until the fifth year.

If you can't even last five years, how can you talk about 80 million?

Moreover, as time goes by, Zhou Xiaoqiang's power grows, so it's normal to appropriately improve his treatment.

If everything goes smoothly, he will ultimately offer his capable subordinate an annual salary of one billion.

A billion-dollar annual salary?

Seems like a lot.

But not many.

It's just RMB, not US dollars.

For someone in charge of an overseas base, an annual salary of one billion RMB is really not high at all.

Just look at the people in China who earn over a billion yuan a year, and you'll know what kind of roles they play.

Of course, those people have powerful backgrounds.

Zhou Xiaoqiang had nothing. He had to risk his life for everything.

Upon arriving at the hotel room, we found ourselves in the presidential suite, a standard accommodation for successful individuals.
Su Yu didn't delay, letting the two sisters rest and adjust before he went out for a while.

With him by his side, Dahuang looked like a mighty beast.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he put a leash on Dahuang.

After so many days of development, Dahuang's size is now almost the same as a Tibetan Mastiff.

He walks with a fierce look on his face and an imposing aura.

After going downstairs, Zhou Xiaoqiang was already waiting in the parking lot.

"Mr. Su!"

"I've already contacted the seller, and the transaction will take place in half an hour."

Su Yu didn't say anything, he just casually tossed a suitcase over.

Zhou Xiaoqiang took the suitcase, knowing it contained money. "Then you wait for me at that intersection. I'll go and bring the gyrfalcon back."

Su Yu nodded. "I trust you to handle things."

As the boss, he certainly wouldn't do something like a direct transaction.

If anything happens, Zhou Xiaoqiang will take the blame.

When Zhou Xiaoqiang drove back to the intersection, his car turned into a side road.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon meeting place, a Great Wall pickup truck was parked there, with three people inside.

It wasn't the first time they'd met; Zhou Xiaoqiang got off the bus carrying his suitcase.

Neither side spoke, remaining sufficiently vigilant.

Zhou Xiaoqiang opened the suitcase, which was filled with stacks of red banknotes, making the three men's eyes widen in astonishment.

They deliberately placed a cage on the ground, inside which was a gyrfalcon!

Having already inspected the goods, Zhou Xiaoqiang simply checked the condition of the gyrfalcon in the cage before handing the box over. "My boss said this transaction was very pleasant, and if you have any more good goods in the future, we can continue to trade."

Feeling the heavy weight of the suitcase, the person making the transaction quickly counted the amount, and after confirming it was exactly three million, a smile appeared on their face.

"Your boss has plenty of money, and we have plenty of good products."

"This was a very pleasant transaction, and I look forward to the next one!"

As he spoke, he extended a hand to express his desire to continue the collaboration.

Zhou Xiaoqiang smiled and shook hands with the other party. "I'm going abroad next month. If you have any good goods then, my friend will come to trade with you."

"We brothers value money, not people. As long as the money is real, it doesn't matter who comes."

The man lightly flicked his sunglasses. "If your boss is interested, he can give us a name, and we'll take care of it for you!"

Zhou Xiaoqiang nodded, "I'll tell my boss!"

Without stopping, both groups, having achieved their goals, got into the car.

Tank 300 drove in one direction, while Great Wall pickup truck drove in another.

Upon reaching the fork in the road, Tank 300 slowly approached.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Xiaoqiang placed the iron cage on the back seat of the Wrangler.

Without saying a word, he returned to the Tank 300 and slowly drove away.

Su Yu didn't say anything, but started the car and drove to a deserted place.

He stopped the car and looked back at the gyrfalcon behind him, its eyes filled with resentment and defiance.

Its head resembled a piece of tempered black iron, with solidified flames dancing in its golden eyes. Layers of iron-gray feathers overlapped, each carrying the cold gleam forged by the north wind.

Although it was the first time I had seen one, it was indeed a fine bird!
"By imperial decree, Da Dong is appointed as a Ninth-Rank Iron Eagle Warrior!"

"The Emperor bestows upon Da Dong the title of Rank 9 Iron Eagle Warrior, consuming 10,000 points of luck."

[Name: Da Dong]

Age: Three years old

[Official Rank: Ninth Grade Iron Eagle Warrior]

[Aura: Pale Yellow]

[Destiny Chart: Broken Army Star in Life Palace, Seven Killings Star in Heavenly Stem]

[Today's Fortune: A chance to change your destiny and achieve great success]

Po Jun in the Life Palace: Arrogant and unruly, with an unyielding character, good at overcoming difficulties, charging into battle, breaking through and then rebuilding, capable of becoming a general and being ennobled!
Seven Killings appearing in the Heavenly Stem: A born general, with hidden brilliance. A life of military service, achieving merit through action. Like gold forged in the furnace, it becomes valuable when perfected, but breaks when overheated.

Good destiny!

As expected of the Iron Eagle Warriors!
The Iron Eagle Warriors were a powerful weapon for the Qin state to dominate the world.

The Qin state had 200,000 elite troops, but the Iron Eagle Warriors numbered only 1,600.

It can be said that the Iron Eagle Warriors are the elite of the elite.

After the imperial decree was issued, Su Yu went to see the gyrfalcon again.

Her eyes still held a wary look, but the way she looked at him had softened considerably.

Without further ado, Su Yu got out of the car with a smile.

Remove the iron cage from the back and then open it.

"Go!"

"The sky is your true stage!"

"Spread your wings and soar!"

With his shouts, the gyrfalcon struggled to escape from its cage, staggering forward and flapping its wings incessantly.

"Xiao——"

With a sound like the clash of metal, the gyrfalcon, after rushing forward for more than twenty meters, finally flapped its wings and took flight.

Having regained its freedom, it was filled with excitement.

Its dark blue tail feathers are arranged like arrows, shimmering with an indigo metallic sheen in the sunlight.

When it raises its head, the white feathers on its throat resemble an unsheathed dagger, ready to sever the prey's arteries at any moment.

Su Yu watched for a while, seeing the gyrfalcon circling him in mid-air, and smiled as he stretched out a hand.

The gyrfalcon circled twice more before slowly landing and settling steadily on his arm.

Although it weighed only a little over two pounds, it landed with considerable force, stirring up strong winds and raising dust everywhere.

Su Yu gently stroked its head, slowly calming it down.

The gyrfalcon stopped flapping its wings, and its gaze towards him held a newfound trust!
Su Yu took out a small piece of meat and fed it to the creature. After it had eaten its fill, Su Yu let it go.

The sky is its true home, not the place to bind its wings.

A mysterious guidance will tell Da Dong his location.

It will come when you need it.

……

A Great Wall pickup truck was driving across the vast grassland.

There were three people in the car, all of them looking excited.

Having just exchanged the captured gyrfalcon for three million, the three were quite excited.

"Brother Bear!"

One of them said, "Let's find a place to have a drink later, and then find some pretty girls to have some fun with!"

"According to the old rules, you will each receive 500,000."

Xiong Ge laughed and said, "With 500,000 yuan, you can do whatever you want!"

Knowing that his boss wouldn't go, the younger brother didn't force him. "Then I'll go with Lao Bu."

If you make money, you should spend it.

Otherwise, what's the point of making money?
But when he casually looked up, he noticed a black dot in the sky.

He quickly took out his binoculars and looked, and exclaimed in surprise, "I saw another gyrfalcon!"

Xiong Ge slammed on the brakes, and the Great Wall pickup truck came to a stop.

He grabbed the binoculars and examined them closely. "How come this gyrfalcon looks exactly like the one we just sold?"

Upon hearing this, the other two also took out their binoculars from the car and began to observe.

"Hey--"

"It really is!"

"It's almost exactly the same as the one we sell?"

"Could it be that the boss accidentally let it escape?"

Xiong Ge hesitated for a second, then said, "Why don't you call that person and ask what's going on?"

"The gyrfalcon has run away, so I'm not returning your money!"

"We can cooperate if needed."

The underling laughed and said, "I'll call and ask right away."

Before they could even dial the number, the gyrfalcon flew over their heads.

"Snapped--"

A huge clump of bird droppings landed right on their Great Wall pickup truck, instantly exploding and splattering all three of them.

Very fresh!
