Chapter 248 Tang Ruyan, the Temporary Employee!

At the store.

That day, Song Lu told Su Ping that the ad had been published, with promotional campaigns launched across all channels. Since then, Su Ping had been prepared for an increase in business.

Su Ping had invested heavily in the various promotional campaigns, totaling two to three hundred million. The public couldn’t overlook those ads.

“Joanna alone won’t do.”

Su Ping remembered the long lines of students outside his store after his business became popular in the Phoenix Peak Academy. He had been swamped back then.

Right at that moment, another girl that he could use as a helper sprang to mind.

-Tang Ruyan, the one he had captured in the Mysterious Realm.

Su Ping had detained her in the scroll, and he had not had the time to deal with her just yet. Su Ping’s original plan with Tang Ruyan was to take her back to learn about the Tang Family from her. At the moment, it just so happened that she could offer some help.

As for the fact that people might find out that he was keeping her prisoner...

It was no longer a source of worry for Su Ping. After all, apart from the protection provided by the dragon king’s soul, the Little Skeleton’s combat strength had gone over 10. The average titled battle pet warriors could no longer threaten his life. Only legendary battle pet warriors could harm him.

Also, as long as he was within the scope of his store, not even legendary battle pet warriors could show up and hurt him.

The entire continent merely had two legendary battle pet warriors. Su Ping was confident that the Tang Family had nothing to do with either of the two legendary battle pet warriors. Even if they did, he wouldn’t be afraid.

“What? You want me to work for you in your store?”

Inside the scroll, Tang Ruyan was shocked by Su Ping’s words, even before she had a second to be glad over the fact that the scroll had been opened for the first time in forever.

This man was telling me to work for him as an attendant?

She would have to work for free and without a contract? Fine. She didn’t mind about the contract, per se. That being said, she was the future family head of the Tang Family. How dare Su Ping make her an attendant?

To receive customers?

Who deserved to be served by her?

Why was Su Ping not afraid that people would see her? What if the Tang Family found out? Wasn’t Su Ping afraid of the consequences?

Su Ping replied, “You heard me. I run a store, and I need more people working for me. You can help me out for the time being.”

“You...” Tang Ruyan was enraged. His words were full of contempt.

Still, she held back the urge to throw a tantrum. Working at the store implied that she could finally leave the scroll.

That was a chance for her to escape.

She wondered if Su Ping had lost his mind. He had captured her, imprisoning her there, and just then he was daring to let her out. He was seeking his doom.

“No problem.”

Tang Ruyan agreed readily. “What kind of store? Who do I have to serve?”

“Just average customers. I run a pet store.”

“Average... customers?”.

Su Ping said nothing more. He unfolded the scroll to let Tang Ruyan out.

Tang Ruyan felt the environment change, and the next thing she knew, she felt weightless. She was inside a spacious room by the time she felt her feet on the ground again.

A moment later, she realized that another girl was standing next to her.

She was attractive!

Joanna’s beauty had conquered yet another girl.

Tang Ruyan was losing herself in Joanna’s good looks. Why was she so charming? Tang Ruyan thought she was pretty. However, compared to this girl with the golden hair, Tang Ruyan suddenly began to be ashamed of herself.

“This is my store. I will get you an outfit later. Your job is to keep track of the store orders and welcome our guests. If the customers ask for pet food, you will help in fetching and offering it to them. You will also take customer’s pets to the pet room.”

Su Ping gave a brief account of her job scope.

Tang Ruyan was confused. What was that?

She had never imagined that a guy as horrific as Su Ping could be running a store, a shabby one at that. He didn’t have any employees. How poor would he have to be to ask her to fill in as an employee?

“Who is this?”

Tang Ruyan looked at the golden-hair girl in confusion.

“Same as you. But, she is a formal employee. You are not,” Su Ping answered casually.

Tang Ruyan had already concocted some theory about this golden-hair girl. Still, she didn’t know how to respond to Su Ping’s reply. Was there even any difference between a formal employee and a temporary employee there? It wasn’t like she cared about being a formal employee. Tang Ruyan looked at the golden-hair girl, feeling sorry for her. She thought that Su Ping had abducted her because of her pretty looks. As such, Tang Ruyan felt she could sympathize with the girl.

Joanna darted a glance at Tang Ruyan, having already lost interest in her since she was nothing more than a human being.

Joanna was a bit happy that Su Ping mentioned that she was a formal employee. She would have been angry if this weak human being were a formal employee just like her. She was a goddess. She could accept the fact that she was an employee there, but she could never have a human being as a co-worker.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’m going to run away?” Tang Ruyan asked Su Ping. She had been baffled by this.

Su Ping answered coldly, “You cannot. Joanna, keep an eye on her. If she runs, break her legs.”

Joanna frowned and said to Tang Ruyan. “You heard him. Behave and save me the trouble of doing something that boring.” Tang Ruyan was stunned still.

Su Ping’s level of confidence was unexpected. The more unbelievable fact was that, judging by Su Ping’s words, this golden-hair girl was more powerful than she was.

Tang Ruyan’s friendly feeling toward this golden-haired girl disappeared straight away. “Don’t make it sound like you can do that. I won’t leave. But if I wanted to, there is nothing you can do to stop me.” Tang Ruyan sneered.

Joanna frowned, “Are you courting death?”

Because of Su Ping’s requests, Joanna would usually refrain from revealing her full strength, at least on the surface. Tang Ruyan could not tell Joanna’s strength and power level.

Tang Ruyan raised her eyebrows, “Do you want a match to find out?”

True, it was usual for men not to yield to another man. But, the competition between the fairer sex could be even more intense.

Su Ping cast a glance at Tang Ruyan speechlessly. How hot-headed this girl was.

“Don’t upset Joanna. Not even your dad can defeat her. She can crush titled battle pet warriors with one finger. I suggest you stop messing with her,” Su Ping cautioned Tang Ruyan.

Tang Ruyan could not believe this.

Joanna could crush titled battle pet warriors to death with one finger?

Could anyone do this?

Affirmative!

However, people that were capable of that level of strength would be those like Venerable the Blade, who were one step away from becoming legendary battle pet warriors, or, actual legendary battle pet warriors! Was this golden-hair girl someone like that? Tang Ruyan found it hard to believe. After all, this girl seemed to be her age. The girl couldn’t possess such powers, even if she had started cultivating since she was a fetus.

“Give me your phone. Stay in the store and do your job. If you perform well, I will think about letting you go,” Su Ping said. Tang Ruyan raised her eyebrows. She knew that Su Ping was worried about her contacting her family.

Hmm.

Tang Ruyan sneered. Reluctantly, she took her phone and gave it to Su Ping.

“Don’t think I can’t contact my family without this! So stupid!” Tang Ruyan grinned. She was sure that the end of Su Ping was coming. Besides, she believed that someone was bound to recognize her, given her fame and that she would be in charge of receiving customers.

By then, news that she was there would spread out and reach the Tang Family. Afterward, Su Ping would have to face the fury from the Tang Family, and they would level this store to the ground!

The more she thought of that possibility, the happier she was. A smile had climbed to her face without her knowing.

“Joanna, teach her how the work is done here. If we have too many customers, you can go to the pet room and set up the pets in the nursing pens,” Su Ping said.

Joanna was an official employee of the store. With Su Ping’s permission, Joanna had the authority to use some of the store functions, such as the nursing pens and the pet storing space.

Joanna nodded.

Tang Ruyan kept a straight face. Inside, she promised herself that she would viciously retaliate against Su Ping the day she was freed!

Thanks to the extensive promotion, the Pixie Pet Store went viral within a day.

That night, Su Ping saw a huge crowd gathering outside his store. He was happy that he had released Tang Ruyan that day. Otherwise, Joanna would have been overwhelmed if she was by herself.

Tang Ruyan waited at the door. She was sporting the business wear that Su Ping had ordered for her. The clothes accentuated her slender body and highlighted her stunning presence.

Tang Ruyan was full of hope as she looked at the people walking around the store; she could already smell the beautiful scent of freedom.
