Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Qinling Forest Ranger
Walk into the hall.
Chen Yuan poured tea for Zhou Xu and Song Guohao, while the driver Liu stood outside. Chen Weiyi was in the kitchen handling Spirit Fish, preparing a sumptuous full fish feast for the esteemed guests.
“Zhou… Zhou? Mister Zhou?”
Looking at Chen Yuan who was contemplating the address, Zhou Xu smiled slightly: “We’re not that far apart in age. Just call me Zhou.”
“Zhou, are you also a Beastmaster?” Chen Yuan seizes the opportunity for more information.
Zhou Xu nodded: “Sort of, I only know the basics of Beast Taming Knowledge and contracted a Pet Beast with no combat abilities; I’m completely clueless in combat and cultivation.”
“Zhou, you’re too humble,” Chen Yuan said.
As a functionary of the Beastmaster Association, there must be outstanding qualifications.
Moreover, he had previously made light remarks about Spark and Cola, although it seemed flattering, he surely understood this field.
After a casual chat, Zhou Xu finally got to the main point: “Chen Yuan, you know that our Beastmaster Association has just been established, and faces many issues, one of which urgently needs solving is a lack of personnel.”
Chen Yuan sat up straight, looking directly at them.
“Your performance this time was outstanding, it caught the attention and praise of the higher-ups. The president is very pleased and originally thought to coordinate with Station Chief Song to change your organizational status and let you work in the city.” Zhou Xu’s tone was gentle, unhurried.
Song Guohao nodded slightly, while Chen Yuan remained silent.
Zhou Xu’s voice continued to echo in the hall: “After learning about your inconveniences and difficulties, the president was very understanding and decided to take a different approach.”
Chen Yuan sat up straight.
“Come be an advisor for our Association.” Zhou Xu looked at Chen Yuan, his originally gentle gaze now somewhat intense, like a treasure hunter seeing the treasure, like Cola seeing Cola.
“Advisor?” Chen Yuan looked puzzled.
“Yes.” Zhou Xu nodded, retracting his intense gaze, patiently explaining, “Simply put, it’s transferring your organizational relationship under the Association’s name, but still keeping you in Xuanhe Village.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan got interested.
Noticing the subtle change in Chen Yuan’s expression, Zhou Xu smiled slightly: “Your work content is also simple, just take care of this mountain.”
Saying this, Zhou Xu gazed deeply out the window at the distant hills.
“This mountain?” Chen Yuan was stunned.
Zhou Xu nodded: “Yes, this mountain spanning over a thousand kilometers east to west, this Qinling.”
Chen Yuan fell silent.
“Qinling is more important than you might imagine. Our Baokun City is adjacent to Qinling and must be looked after at all costs.” Zhou Xu’s voice was gentle yet strong, with reflections of light under the frames of his glasses.
“This is the most important order from the higher-ups to the Baokun City Beastmaster Association. We will gather all possible strengths to ensure this task is completed smoothly.”
“How should I specifically proceed?” Chen Yuan was somewhat moved and quickly asked.
“You know about Forest Rangers?” Zhou Xu asked.
Chen Yuan nodded.
“In this new era, traditional Forest Rangers can no longer meet the needs of the times. We need new Forest Rangers to help the country guard Qinling.”
“Though this responsibility may seem dispensable, it is vital.”
“Keep in mind that Qinling is a treasure trove that holds numerous rare resources…”
Chen Yuan nodded silently, this was precisely the fundamental reason he chose to stay in Qinling.
“If you notice any unusual movements in Qinling, report to the Association promptly.”
“Do I need to do anything else?” Chen Yuan pondered for a moment before continuing to ask.
Zhou Xu said without hesitation: “Basically no, at most contribute when the Association issues emergency tasks.”
Chen Yuan nodded, ceasing his inquiries.
Song Guohao couldn’t help but ask: “Secretary Zhou, according to your description, aren’t some responsibilities of our Wildlife Rescue Station overlapping with Chen Yuan’s?”
Zhou Xu shook his head with a smile: “No, you continue to patrol the forest and rescue animals. If something unresolved arises, seek Chen Yuan’s help.”
Upon hearing this, Song Guohao clicked his tongue in amazement.
“How about it? Would you like to be this advisor?” Zhou Xu turned to look at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan no longer hesitated, stood up solemnly, and said: “Thank you to the president and the Association for valuing me. I should be able to fulfill this role.”
“Good, good, good.” Zhou Xu’s face broke into a wide smile, standing up to shake hands with Chen Yuan, he announced, “After returning, I’ll transfer your organizational relationship.”
“Then congratulations, Advisor Chen.”
The two of them engaged in deep exchanges regarding the advisor’s responsibilities and rights, pausing the conversation when Chen Weiyi came over with dishes.
“We won’t be staying for dinner.” Zhou Xu stood up, his face all smiles.
“How come, this meal was specially made for you.” Chen Weiyi frowned.
Zhou Xu smiled slightly: “To be honest, I’d love to eat it, but the situation is special.”
He paused briefly and sighed: “The Association was just established, and all kinds of issues need coordination, all sorts of troubles need handling, really can’t be freed.”
“Traveling so far to Xuanhe Village, if it weren’t for Chen Yuan being so outstanding, I wouldn’t have left the office.”
“We’ll have to save it for next time when I have a chance.”
“Liu, let’s go.”
After some pulling, Zhou Xu added Chen Yuan’s contact information and left by car.
“Song, since Zhou left, let’s eat.”
The three of them sat down without formality and began eating.
“Secretary Zhou thinks highly of you.” Song Guohao suddenly spoke.
Chen Yuan suddenly lifted his head but remained silent.
Song Guohao continued: “The higher-ups are very focused on Xuanhe Village, and combined with your current exceptional performance, staying in Xuanhe Village has become the optimal choice.”
Chen Yuan nodded thoughtfully and smiled: “Perhaps Song’s status might also rise.”
Song Guohao first sighed, then shook his head: “I no longer have expectations for these, just hope Xuanhe Village has fewer troubles, fewer disturbances in Qinling.”
“By the way, although you’re not in the Wildlife Rescue Station anymore, I have a small request.” Song Guohao pursed his lips, speaking hesitantly.
Chen Yuan replied without hesitation: “Song, feel free to ask. As long as I can help, I will.”
Song Guohao, no longer hesitating, smiled and spoke: “Just guide the young ones in our rescue station, teach them how to raise and train Pet Beasts.”
“Our rescue station will inevitably deal with wild Pet Beasts and must find ways to enhance capabilities.”
Chen Yuan decisively nodded: “It’s within my duties, count on me.”
After eating and drinking their fill, Song Guohao departed.
Chen Yuan tidied the dishes, pondering a question while washing them: “Why didn’t Zhou ask how I knew about the advancement conditions?”
“Isn’t this question the most important one?”
Unable to figure it out, Chen Yuan shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore.
He looked out the window—an old man was considering where to hang a plaque, Cola was lying on the ground sunbathing, and Spark soared in mid-air.
It’s another ordinary day.
