Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Chapter 140 Miss Tong, who is fiercely pampered by the fox girl Zhu Sha

"Director, Miss Zhu Sha, you're back?"

Mr. Du sat upright in his genuine leather executive chair, and smelling the lingering barbecue smokiness on Tong and Zhu Sha, he knew that Miss Zhu Sha had once again taken her beloved Director Tong out for a good meal.

Seriously... how come they don't empty their wallets after eating like this every day?

Dragon Tide Pavilion hasn't paid them any wages this month yet...

It's worth mentioning that with Zhu Sha by his side, Tong now always takes Zhu Sha with him on missions, giving Master Zhu plenty of time to investigate his senior brother and the Black Face of the Thousand Faces Society.

Master Du also took the opportunity to mention some performance-related issues to Zhu. In short, Zhu spent a lot of time on his own affairs and rarely went on missions at Longchao Pavilion. In order to retain his status as an unofficial member of Longchao Pavilion, after weighing the pros and cons, and to avoid causing dissatisfaction among other employees, he had no choice but to stop paying Zhu's salary.

This is roughly the situation. Zhu was completely taken aback by Master Du's manipulation. Since Zhu didn't spend much money normally, still had some travel expenses left over from the money her master gave her before she went down the mountain, and had other ways to make a living besides working part-time at Longchao Pavilion, she readily agreed.

However, Master Du was quite happy with this arrangement—under Zhu Sha's generous care, Director Tong had gained a little weight—she had been so thin and sickly from hunger before that even her slender figure couldn't hide it, but now it was just right.

Having eaten well, drunk well, and dressed warmly, Tong hadn't argued with Master Du about money for a long time. She was full of energy every day, and Master Du seemed to see the shadow of a perfect ox or horse in her, showing Tong a gratified smile every day.

Not only that, Zhu Sha, who wanted to stay at Longchao Pavilion, was also tricked by Tong and Master Du into becoming an unofficial member of Longchao Pavilion—without any salary!

Although Zhu Sha himself didn't think much of the few coins that Longchao Pavilion had given him.

That's a resounding four-way win!

Dragon Tide Pavilion has gained a powerful henchman (Vermilion), and I don't even need to pay her a salary. Tong no longer bothers me with the daily issue of her paycheck, and I've even waived the salary of a long-time employee who's still available at any time (Candle)...

Mr. Du won four times with just one cat!

"Hey! Master Du? Have you eaten today? Why did you call us back in such a hurry? What new task do you have?"

Tong cut to the chase—"Being well-fed every day gives me lots of energy! I want to do any task I have, and I don't feel tired at all!"

Moreover, with cinnabar protecting it, it has absolutely nothing to fear, no matter what level of mission it is!

Because normally, if there are really powerful forces or important figures commissioning something, it wouldn't be the Dragon Tide Pavilion that gets to take it... or they would directly contact Boss Mirage, and it wouldn't end up in Tong's hands.

As they spoke, Zhu Sha moved behind Tong, pressed against her back, rested her chin lazily on Tong's shoulder, and comfortably half-closed her eyes, nuzzling her.

Such intimate gestures happen every day, and Tong has even gotten used to them.

Therefore, she could accept Zhu Sha's six-meal-a-day pampering without any qualms! (Breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, midnight snack + snacks and drinks interspersed throughout the day!)

That vixen, all she does is take advantage of me, the director—what's wrong with me spending a little money from her? It's only natural!

Furthermore, Tong had guessed Zhu Sha's source of income and even overheard her exchanging messages with Min Moyou, sharing their daily lives—so she should definitely spend money on her! Even I, the director, have been treated like that by Min Moyou, so spending his money is perfectly justified! It's only right!

If Min Moyou were to spend money on Tong in person, Tong would probably have to consider something, or she might not be able to let go of the barrier in her heart, as if she were the kind of woman who sells herself for money, which would make her feel very uncomfortable.

But if cinnabar is used as a medium, then spending money becomes completely effortless!

After spending some time together, Zhu Sha helped or rescued Tong on several occasions during his missions and commissions in the Dragon Realm, and the two have formed a deep friendship.

Zhu Sha has also won the title of Director Tong's most beloved little sister, pushing Xiao Guang to the top 2!

Even though Zhu Sha's feelings for her weren't just as simple as those for a close female friend...

Today, Tong and Zhusha are having breakfast outside—yes, breakfast is barbecue! Pure meat barbecue!

However, Master Du called him back with a large, expedited order that required extra payment.

"Naturally. Recently, a bizarre case of a teenage girl disappearing occurred at a subway station in Nakaura Ward..."

Master Du said sternly, "This master will not be attracted by mere fish and meat!"

She wouldn't be jealous just because Hitomi has a pet owner who's willing to spend money on her!

It's not because Boss Shen embezzled all of the latest profits from the pavilion yesterday and used them to bribe the intelligence network that Du is worried about the money!

Meow meow meow! I'm just a little bit envious, but I won't say it out loud!

"The surveillance footage shows that the girl's behavior was exaggerated and bizarre; at times she would squat on the ground, covering her face and crying, and at other times she would arrogantly make strange gestures..."

“These behaviors continued until she disappeared into a blind spot of the subway station’s surveillance cameras, and no one has seen her since.”

"In addition, the missing person is a public figure. She has not appeared for many days, and there is much discussion about it. Some people speculate that she has been kidnapped, while others have found surveillance footage from some streets and suspect that she is possessed."

"The day before yesterday, the person who commissioned this task was a relative of the missing girl. They found Longchao Pavilion through certain channels and commissioned us to investigate the matter,"

"Through our in-depth investigation, we have discovered that the missing girl is a dragon's offspring, therefore..."

That was enough. Master Du handed a poster to Tong, indicating that the person on the poster was the target of this search mission.

Tong took the poster and exclaimed in surprise:

"Wait... This is? Rin?! A figure skater with millions of fans?!"

It's clear that Rin is indeed very famous; even Hitomi knows her!

Actually, it was because Zhu Sha paid her internet bill and upgraded her phone card data plan during this period that Director Tong, who was previously reluctant to spend money on internet access, was able to roam the ocean of the internet and that's how she learned about Rin.

Upon seeing Rin's poster, Hitomi's mind immediately started racing: 'Rin has great looks and a built-in fanbase. If we cast her as the lead in our movie, it'd be guaranteed to be a hit!'

That's right. The strong-willed Hitomi still hopes to make a lot of money on her own and enjoy a good life without any guilt. Even though she has made countless bad movies, she firmly believes that a hit movie will make money much faster. Doesn't that mean that making movies is faster than working yourself to death doing commissions?

"Master Du, there's no need for further words! This lovely young lady must have mistakenly wandered into the Dragon Realm! This director will go and rescue her from this predicament! I will break through that Dragon Realm no matter what!"

"I can't wait any longer! Every minute we delay, my little Rin becomes even more dangerous! Go now! Go immediately! Go right now!"

The director pulled Zhu Sha out of Longchao Pavilion, even forgetting to ask Master Du about the client.

Fortunately, Mr. Du spoke up in time to remind him:

"The client is already waiting in the square closest to our Longchao Pavilion. She is a middle-aged woman. Director, you may go there to meet her and learn more about the situation. Best of luck to both of you."

"Know it--"
