Lanqi was sitting there processing documents, in her blonde state. Krillin had heard the employees say that the chairman they saw always seemed to be blonde. It looked like Lanqi had always maintained the image of a strong businesswoman at the company, he thought.
"Lanqi, long time no see." Krillin greeted her.
When Lanqi saw Krillin, she somehow pulled out a gun and swept it toward him. "Die, you bastard! You've had a great time being a hands-off boss."
Krillin smiled faintly and did not dodge. The aura around him automatically stopped the bullets, preventing them from advancing even an inch.
Yawn... "Sorry, Xiaolin." Gentle Lanqi apologized for what had just happened.
"It's fine. I should be the one apologizing. After all, I haven't really managed the company." Krillin gave an awkward smile.
Next, Lanqi wanted to explain the company's operations to Krillin.
Krillin waved his hand. "No need. Just tell me how much money we've made. You can handle what the company does. I'll just take the dividends." He spoke with a serious expression.
Just sitting back and collecting dividends—this was the best. Running a business was way too troublesome!
"Alright then. Overall, in the past two-plus months, the company's total sales have reached 30 billion, with total profits of 28 billion. Of that, 20 billion has been used to expand our locations, and the company currently has 5 billion in working capital." Lanqi explained carefully.
Krillin knew the food industry made money, but he had not known it was this absurdly profitable... It was just like a certain university cafeteria from his previous life.
Handing the business to Lanqi had truly been a wise choice. One was meticulous, the other domineering. Put together, she was practically the Dragon Ball version of Dong Mingzhu. Krillin could not help admiring his own decision.
System: "Pah! I've never seen anyone so narcissistic."
"Lanqi, don't you think the company name is... is..." Krillin said awkwardly.
"What's wrong? I think it's great. Simple and clear." Lanqi looked puzzled.
"I just feel that it's a bit too generic. It doesn't have any distinctive character. It would be easy for others to imitate us in the future."
Lanqi thought it made some sense after hearing that. "Change the name?"
Krillin was delighted. She finally understood what I meant. That was hard.
"What should we call it?" Lanqi pondered.
"Haidilao! It's simple, clear, and distinctive." Krillin chuckled. This did not count as copyright infringement, did it?
Lanqi's eyes lit up. "Good name. Then we'll call it Haidilao!"
"Then let me tell you about Haidilao's development philosophy: uphold the belief that customers are gods... uphold a development philosophy centered on serving customers..." Krillin said mysteriously.
Half an hour passed.
"It can actually be developed like this? This... this..." Lanqi seemed frightened by such unconventional ideas.
"You can't go wrong listening to me."
An hour later, Krillin headed toward the security department. There was now 500 million in cash in his account, and the shareholding had changed to 49% for Krillin and 51% for Lanqi. From then on, Krillin would only collect dividends. Haha, I smiled smugly, smiled smugly.
He had heard that Fanyu had been promoted to security department manager. Since he was here, he might as well check on that honest kid. Krillin came to Fanyu's office and found him working at his desk. Compared to two months ago, he had lost some of his youthful immaturity and gained a little more maturity.
Fanyu seemed to sense someone watching him and looked up. He happened to spot Krillin, rubbed his eyes, and upon realizing he had not mistaken him, hurried over and shouted excitedly, "Boss! Boss! When did you come back?"
Fanyu had always been grateful to Krillin. If not for his boss, he would probably have starved to death on the streets.
"I just got here today. How is it? Have you adjusted to the job?" Krillin asked with a smile.
Fanyu nodded, then explained, "Because the company has started offshore farming, I no longer need to dive into the sea to catch things. Master Mutian said I was suited for a security position, so Sister Lanqi arranged for me to work here."
Master Mutian's eye was still as sharp as ever. He must have seen that Fanyu was a good seed for martial arts, Krillin thought.
"Work hard. You're a good kid," Krillin said to Fanyu.
Fanyu hesitated, unsure how to say it. But considering that Krillin might leave soon and he would not see him again for a long time, Fanyu gathered his courage and said, "Please accept me as your disciple, Boss. I want to learn the Martial Way."
It was something Krillin had expected, but he still asked, "Why don't you take Master Mutian as your master? Master Mutian is the God of Martial Arts."
"I wanted to, but Master Mutian said that his last two closed-door disciples were Boss and Goku, and that he would not accept any more disciples." Fanyu looked at him expectantly.
"So that's how it is." Krillin pondered. In truth, he had already anticipated this outcome.
As Fanyu watched Krillin think, his heart pounded faster with unease. He shouted again, "Please accept me as your disciple!" Then Fanyu knelt before Krillin.
Krillin laughed. "Alright, I agree. From now on, you are my founding disciple."
Upon hearing that, Fanyu happily kowtowed to Krillin and repeatedly said, "Thank you, Boss. Thank you, Boss."
Krillin smiled. "Still calling me Boss?"
"Yes, Master."
The moment Fanyu became his disciple, the system sent a notification: An Earthling has become a disciple. The Master-Disciple System can be activated. Activate?
"What's it for?" Krillin asked.
After activation, each disciple you accept may have their Earthling Limit broken through three times for free. After that, the host may spend twice their own energy to help them break through their limits. After a limit is broken through, the host will gain a corresponding large amount of energy. Once they break through to the fifth level, they may graduate. The host will receive the title Peaches and Plums Fill the World. Please explore the specific functions yourself.
Three free breakthroughs? Couldn't I take in lots of disciples and cultivate a large batch of powerful Earthlings?
Ding. A system loophole has been detected and repaired. Current disciple slots available: 1.
Clap clap, I...
Even without this master-disciple function, Krillin had planned to accept Fanyu as his disciple. When Krillin saw Fanyu, how could he not remember his own experiences before taking Master Mutian as his master?
"Fanyu, get up. Since you have become my disciple, you need to understand that our school belongs to the Turtle School. Master Mutian is your grandmaster, and Goku is your martial uncle. Goku can call Master Roshi Grandpa, but you must call him Grandmaster. Respect your elders, understand?"
"This disciple understands," Fanyu said respectfully.
Although he had begun learning the Martial Way, he could not abandon this job. He needed to earn money properly and support a family in the future. Starting tomorrow, take a month off first. I'll teach you how to train.
Fanyu nodded.
"Go home and get some rest. Training starts tomorrow." With that, Krillin left.
"Goodbye, Master." Fanyu was extremely excited. The thought of tomorrow's training made his blood boil.
Krillin had never trained anyone before, so it seemed he would have to go back and seek advice from Master Mutian. Unfortunately, Master Mutian had gone wild the moment he entered the city, and Krillin truly had no idea where he had run off to flirt.
Krillin found it a little difficult, but then hardened his heart. Could a living person really be choked to death by shit? I'll just do it this way.
The next day, the two arrived at Central Plaza as promised.
"Listen carefully. The essence of the Turtle School is to eat well, drink well, rest well, and study well."
Fanyu listened intently, afraid of missing even a single word.
First, deliver packages. Deliver the packages in front of you to their respective recipients within two hours.
Then came construction site work, swimming with sharks, studying hard...
Half a month later, "Come, your master will first teach you how to fly."
Two days later, "Come, Solar Flare..."
A week later, "Lastly, your master will teach you his signature technique, Kamehameha... First, say it like this: Ka... me... ha... me... ha!" After a month of hellish training, Fanyu had improved greatly. Time: Era 756
Name: Fanyu Age: 16 Race: Earthling Battle Power: 50 Skills: Kamehameha, Solar Flare, Afterimage Technique, Flight Technique. Training Limit: 800 Battle Power
"Your master has already taught you everything that needs to be taught. The rest depends on your own comprehension. You can't work for the time being, so let me set a goal for you."
"Set out from here and travel on foot to Korin Tower. Climb Korin Tower and tell Karin that I sent you. Then have Karin guide you. After that, follow Karin's arrangements. Do you understand?"
"Is there really an immortal?" Fanyu asked excitedly.
"Whether there is or not, you'll have to explore it yourself. Everything is unknown."
"Yes, Master."
