Ye Bai was quite satisfied as well. He had not expected that even after he bid 900,000, Zhao Wuji would transfer the Breeding House operating license to him.
This operating license had been issued over a year ago and still had more than three years left on its validity period.
The transfer could be filed through an online electronic application. With Zhao Wuji's cooperation, it was basically approved in seconds.
Otherwise, Ye Bai would have had to apply for a new Breeding House operating license. The license for his previous Breeding House was also about to expire.
Using an existing transfer was far easier than submitting a fresh application.
If he had gone through the application process, it would not have been completed in less than ten days to half a month. Especially if someone decided to throw a wrench in the works, it would take even longer.
Besides, the Breeding House's large equipment had all been personally bought by Zhao Wuji, and it was ninety percent new.
Considering that disposing of the equipment would also cost him depreciation fees, Zhao Wuji thought it over and left everything to Ye Bai.
He had struck it rich. For 900,000, he had bought so much stuff, and the house came with permanent property rights. Under normal circumstances, even 1.5 million would not have bought it, let alone with all this equipment thrown in.
"Now that we've bought the house, let's hurry up and clean it. We'll move in tonight."
Ye Bai found some time to return to Fangyuan Pet House and packed everything up.
Since Da Hui cleaned the Breeding House until not a speck of dust remained every day, the landlord probably would not inspect every nook and cranny with a flashlight when they returned the rental.
He stored the pet beasts in the Breeding House one after another into the Beast Cards he had prepared, then carefully took down the Fangyuan Pet House signboard.
This signboard had weathered wind and frost, but it was the symbol of Fangyuan Pet House. It had also been carved from fine Yellow Pear Wood.
Father Ye had once said that this signboard was the root of the Ye Family. Even if they took nothing else, they absolutely had to take the signboard.
Only with the signboard was there Fangyuan Pet House.
Once everything was packed, Ye Bai took Da Hui and headed toward their new home.
Not long after Ye Bai left, a luxurious car drove in. He Qingyuan got out with his nose covered, seeming deeply disgusted by the surrounding environment.
"Steward Wang, is this the place?"
A bird-type pet beast the size of a soccer ball appeared on He Qingyuan's shoulder.
The bird-type pet beast was grayish-black all over. It had the savage eyes of an eagle, a sharp beak, and astonishingly Sharp Claws that could tear a wound into a person in an instant.
This was the Gale Sparrow the Lineage had found for He Qingyuan after he abandoned the Boxing Rabbit.
It was a darling of the wind, coming and going like the wind.
"Haha, Ye Bai, thanks to you, I was able to obtain such an outstanding pet beast."
He Qingyuan could hardly wait to see Ye Bai being swept out the door.
"Steward Wang, notify Ye Bai. We're terminating the lease early. We'll transfer the breach-of-contract compensation to him in advance. I want to leave him no fault to find."
Steward Wang nodded. He took out his phone and called Ye Bai using the number left behind by the previous homeowner.
Beep beep beep, beep beep beep.
Ye Bai suddenly saw an unfamiliar number calling him. "Hello?"
An aged voice came through the phone. "May I ask if you're Ye Bai? I need to give you money—"
Before Steward Wang could finish, Ye Bai decided it was a scam call.
Ye Bai quickly replied, "I don't have it, I'm not him, you've got the wrong number."
Then he hung up.
"Hehe, good thing I was alert."
Most unfamiliar calls were either sales calls or scam calls. Once you gave them an opening, they would never stop. It was better to refuse cleanly and decisively, cutting off their hopes.
That also saved the scammers from wasting so much breath only to fail to swindle a single cent from him.
Beep beep beep.
Steward Wang held his phone with a face full of black lines.
"I called him. He said he wasn't Ye Bai, then hung up on me."
The two looked at each other. He Qingyuan took out the phone number he had gotten from a classmate, and when they compared them, it was right!
At once, the two were baffled. They could not make head or tail of it.
"Steward Wang, keep calling. I refuse to believe he won't answer."
He Qingyuan gritted his teeth and continued.
Steward Wang could only make another dozen or twenty calls, but no one ever answered.
Then he suddenly thought of something. Could his number have been blocked?
"Young Master, could it be that my number has been blocked?"
He Qingyuan flew into a rage. "Blocked? How dare he? We're his landlords, and he won't answer, is that it?"
"Steward Wang, write Ye Bai a text message and explain it clearly. We're the new landlords, and for certain reasons, we need to take back the house early."
"Not only will we pay the breach-of-contract compensation, we'll return his deposit too. But his belongings will be cleared out by me today."
"We're very sorry, but he'll have to find another rental."
He Qingyuan smiled darkly. "When that time comes, I want to see him scrambling everywhere for a place to live."
Steward Wang asked curiously, "Won't he pull some strings and stay in the school dormitory?"
He Qingyuan shook his head confidently. "Anyone else might, but he won't. He's used to being a lone wolf, and once he moves into a dormitory, there'll be no one to take care of his pet beasts."
"He loves the pet beasts in his Breeding House very much, especially that Gray Night Chinchilla."
"I remember the special operating license for Ye Bai's Breeding House will expire soon too. When the time comes, find a way to have the relevant departments put a chokehold on it."
"Once the license expires, the pet beasts in his hands will be illegal."
"We'll also have grounds to seize those pet beasts."
He Qingyuan's face was filled with viciousness. "Ye Bai, my Resource Box wasn't so easy to take."
"You made me lose all face. I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life miserable."
Steward Wang looked at He Qingyuan's ferocious face and silently cursed him in his heart as a madman.
Ye Bai soon received a bank transfer. He silently checked the transfer note and felt somewhat embarrassed. He had actually blocked the new landlord.
How disrespectful, how disrespectful!
The new landlord had even kindly told him to clear out his belongings, and had sent over both the breach-of-contract compensation and the deposit.
What a good person. He had thought it was a scam call. At the very least, he ought to slap himself a few times in apology.
The previous landlord had been a rather troublesome little old man, known as the Grandet of the modern age. Ye Bai had only managed to keep him in check by relying on his parents' status as Pet Beast Masters.
Ye Bai had thought he would have to battle that Grandet for several rounds before getting his deposit back.
Ye Bai happily headed toward his new home. There really were many good people in this world.
After arriving at the new home, Ye Bai released all the pet beasts.
Da Hui looked at the dusty room, fetched a bucket and rag, while the Chameleon Lizard and Thunder Pig pulled out the weeds in the yard.
The Sunflowers were placed on the third-floor balcony.
Pairs of white Birds of Paradise held rags and carefully wiped the high windows.
Little Ice Shell leaped out of the pool and sprayed forth a trickling stream.
Lightning Cat used his sharp claws to tear open the packed boxes.
Clucking Chicken flapped its wings and flew onto the roof. It crowed loudly, looking full of thriving vitality.
