Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Heh, if you keep babbling on and on, I'll rip your head off and use it as a chamber pot!!"

Xu Xiaobao stood on the conference table, pointed at an old man, and started criticizing him!

The old man was a foreigner, an Italian, and an S-rank beast tamer. However, he was standing, and in front of him sat a long-haired girl. The girl was very beautiful, and her face alone directly demonstrated what "noble" meant.

She sat upright with a smile on her face, looking to be only about 20 years old, with long brown hair that reached her waist.

"Mr. Xu, please don't be so hostile towards us."

"We just want to see Captain Chi. I think we need an explanation regarding the closure of our Esther family's businesses in the Greater Bay Area."

"This is reasonable and compliant with regulations, don't you think?"

The girl didn't seem angry at all; she exuded elegance as she looked at Xu Xiaobao and spoke softly.

"What explanation are you going to give me, young master?"

"If you don't leave, I'll kill you all right now!"

Xu Xiaobao jumped off the table. He was just an S-level Beast Tamer, and he had nothing to fear!

At worst, we'll go to war!

Who isn't an S-class?

"snort!"

"Ignorant brat, do you really think that just because you got lucky and became an S-rank, you can pose a threat to a veteran S-rank like me?"

The old man couldn't stand it any longer and snorted coldly.

"Heh, I'm dying of laughter." Xu Xiaobao sneered in return. "I'm 15 years old this year. If you, you old geezer, saw me when you were 15, you'd be scared to death on the spot!"

"Miss, I don't see anything worth discussing. Chi Hong doesn't dare show himself, so he's sending this brat to take his place!"

"I think we should just take action and clear out any unrelated personnel, then let the factory keep running!"

"I doubt Chi Hong would dare do anything to us!"

The old man ignored Xu Xiaobao. He realized that he couldn't win an argument with Xu Xiaobao at all, and that arguing with Xu Xiaobao would only be humiliating!

"well...."

"It seems there's no way we can have a proper talk. We came with good intentions, but since Captain Chi Hong is unwilling to see us, then..."

"What do you mean by sincerity?" Zhaoxia pushed open the door and quickly walked towards the main seat in the conference room.

"Big brother! You're back!" Xu Xiaobao's eyes lit up. He immediately pulled out the chair at the head of the conference table, and Chaoxia plopped down in it. Then she crossed her arms, rested her chin on them, and looked at the woman.

It's safe to say she's mastered the essence! This smooth and flowing style is something that no one but Chaoxia, who has known Chi Hong for over a decade and has spent every day with him, can imitate so perfectly!

"Um?"

"Big brother, why do you smell so good?"

Xu Xiaobao sniffed and asked in confusion.

"Why are you asking so many questions, kid? That's your sister-in-law's fragrance!!" Chaoxia's face darkened again; she had lost count of how many times she had shown her displeasure today.

"Oh, oh, oh! Big brother, please be careful, your health is the most important thing..." Xu Xiaobao nodded repeatedly, then said as if suddenly realizing something, "You... you've been thoroughly seasoned by your sister-in-law..."

"Damn it!" Zhaoxia exclaimed helplessly. This little brat knows way too much!

The Italian girl stood up, smiling broadly, and extended her hand to Zhaoxia, saying, "Hello, Captain Chi Hong, it's great to meet you today; you are indeed a promising young man."

Seeing how polite the other person was, Chaoxia subconsciously reached out and gave the girl a light handshake, saying, "What are you laughing at, my sister?"

"Hahaha..." Xu Xiaobao laughed until his stomach hurt.

When it comes to resistance to women, if we exclude the sister-in-law, the eldest brother's resistance is probably greater than Xu Xiaobao's!

"Huh? You're laughing at my sister? Sorry, Captain Chi, I don't have a sister."

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sophia Esther."

Sofia shook hands with Chaoxia, and after letting go, she gently rubbed her two fingers together, her expression somewhat strange.

Captain Chi Hong's hands seem to be very well-maintained; their smoothness and suppleness are almost identical to hers...

In short, this is how Sofia felt: It felt so good, I wanted to touch it...

A strange smile curved her lips, and her curiosity about Chi Hong began to grow.

However, what was the dawn's inner turmoil at that moment...?

"Who are you laughing at?"

"That wretched Chi Hong, who knows how many times this kind of 'bad romance' has happened to him outside!"

On the surface, Zhaoxia lowered the brim of her hat and coldly uttered two words, "Nice to meet you."

"What is sincerity?" Asaka asked.

"I'm willing to pay double the tax," Sofia said, holding up one finger.

"What kind of business is she in?"

Zhaoxia looked at Wu Dazhi and asked, she was already getting into the zone.

Wu Dazhi took out a folder, opened it, and placed it in front of Chaoxia.

Zhaoxia looked around and saw that they were all normal industries, nothing excessive.

Moreover, Zhaoxia is different from Chi Hong. Her father, Zhaowen, is a big entrepreneur. She has been deaf and blind since childhood and knows a lot about this kind of thing. Even Zhaowen praised her for being very talented.

After a very professional negotiation, Yuan Qingqing couldn't help but take out her notebook and start taking notes.

"Is the leader really so knowledgeable about this? A genius is a genius. The captain can solve things that ordinary people can't do so easily!" Yuan Qingqing's admiration for Chi Hong increased once again.

Ultimately, Chaoxia helped the Greater Bay Area law enforcement organization reap enormous benefits.

"Captain, the tax is normally handed over to headquarters, but the extra is pocketed, right?" Yuan Qingqing whispered in Chaoxia's ear, covering her mouth with her hand.

She was too close, and Chaoxia didn't dare to speak, remaining silent.

But... embezzling public funds is illegal, you bastard Chi Hong!!

Also, he can't be receiving a salary without working, can he?

"OK! I understand!"

"Just like the previous case of receiving a salary without working, boss, you don't need to say anything, I'll definitely handle it perfectly!!"

Yuan Qingqing nodded, then stepped aside and stopped talking.

Chaoxia's eyes widened, utterly at a loss for words. He really was drawing a salary without working! She could only suppress her urge to complain and give Yuan Qingqing a thumbs up.

"Mr. Chi has truly impressed me."

"Tonight at eight o'clock, at our hotel in the Greater Bay Area, Mr. Chi, would you do me the honor of attending?"

Sophia stood up and extended her hand to Chi Hong again.

As per normal procedure, once a cooperation agreement is reached, it is a basic requirement for one party to host a banquet. Zhaoxia agreed, but she did not shake hands with Sophia.

Instead, he calmly put his hands in his pockets, nodded to Sofia, and indicated his agreement.

"Very well, then I eagerly await Mr. Chi's arrival!"

"Grandpa, let's go."

Sofia stood up, showing no annoyance at Chaoxia for not shaking her hand. Instead, she gave Chaoxia a very elegant lady's bow before leaving.

"Damn, bro, you're giving her way too much credit!"

"You already have a sister-in-law, you can't let this foreign girl seduce you!"

"I thought you'd just kill that old man and then take over his business!"

As soon as Sophia stepped out, Xu Xiaobao said impatiently.

An embarrassed look appeared on Chaoxia's face.

Do they just rob him? Is this how all of Chi Hong's subordinates act, or is this simply Chi Hong's personal style?

However, the first half of what Xu Xiaobao said was very pleasing to the ear, and Zhaoxia liked it very much. She decided that not only Chi Hong, but Zhaoxia herself could also recognize this younger brother.
