Chapter 48 What does it mean that Sakaki is my dad's best friend?!
Looking at the nickname "AAA Rainbow Group's True Secretary," Li Luochen's first reaction was that it was a sales pitch.
Who in their right mind would put "AAA" at the beginning of their grade?
This isn't on QQ, and she's not on her own contact list, so she won't appear at the top of the list.
But who knows, she might actually have a secret seasoning recipe?
Li Luochen pondered for a moment, then decided to reply.
[Yan Yanyan: Yes, to be clear, the secret is: I have already collected the spicy seasoning. If your message is related to the spicy seasoning, then I cannot accept it.]
[AAA Rainbow Group's True Secretary: Rest assured, since seeing the task you posted, our Rainbow Group has been working tirelessly to find the secret seasoning in the Padiya region.]
[AAA Rainbow Group's True Secretary: What I've found here is a secret recipe: bittering agent. Would you like some, sir?]
[AAA Rainbow Group's True Secretary: Secret Bitter Seasoning.jpg]
The real secretary sent me a photo.
Li Luochen clicked on it and saw that it looked somewhat similar to the secret spicy seasoning, but with green, branch-like leaves.
Judging by its appearance alone, it does indeed match the secret bitter seasoning.
But whether it was true or not, Li Luochen couldn't be sure.
[Yan Yanyan: Ms. Secretary Zhen, how do you intend to sell this seasoning to me?]
[AAA Rainbow Group's Real Secretary: Free of charge, just for you. How about we become friends?]
"?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a big question mark appeared on Li Luochen's forehead.
Free gift?
Is there really such a good thing in the world?
As we all know, free things are the most expensive.
Her nickname is related to the Rainbow Group, which means that the group is paying attention to her...
To be honest, Li Luochen didn't want to get involved with too many companies or groups.
The chain of interests involved is too large, which is actually detrimental to oneself.
If possible, Li Luochen would rather buy the secret recipe, Bitter Flavoring, than obtain this "heavenly treasure" for free.
[Yan Yanyan: Secretary Zhen, you are very kind. However, the secret bitter ingredient is far too precious. I cannot accept such a gift without having done the right to receive it.]
Li Luochen refused outright.
[AAA Rainbow Group's real secretary: Aren't you going to ask me why I gave it to you?]
[Yan Yanyan: Why?]
[AAA Rainbow Group's Secretary: Our group's boss said he'd like to get to know you. You should know who he is; he's Giovanni, the Gym Leader of Viridian City in the Kanto region.]
The moment the real secretary sent the message.
The news about Yulong Ferry arrived almost simultaneously.
[Yulongdu: Nephew, your uncle has investigated thoroughly. This real secretary is Masato, the secretary of Sakaki, the chairman of Rainbow Group.]
[Lance: Giovanni is the Gym Leader of Viridian City. I've had a lot of dealings with him. Although the Viridian Gym is often closed throughout the year, he's diligent and trustworthy in handling Team Rocket matters.]
Li Luochen: ……
Sure enough, before Giovanni broke into the Kanto Alliance, the entire alliance trusted him a great deal.
Li Luochen took a screenshot of his chat history with Zhenniao and sent it along with the message to Yulongdu.
[Yan Yanyan: Screenshot.jpg]
[Yan Yan Yan: Uncle, what do you think? Should I accept it?]
To reiterate, the chain of interests involved is too large for me to handle completely at my current level.
You still need to move your backing, otherwise you'll be the first to be eliminated when Giovanni and the League clash before you've even developed your own power.
[Yu Longdu: Wait for your uncle a moment, I need to ask him something.]
[Yan Yanyan: Okay, I'll reply to Zhen Niao later.]
Li Luochen put down his phone, his expression slightly serious.
The Rockets' boss wants to get to know me?
Is this a show of force to intimidate me, or is it an attempt to use me as a pawn to strike at the alliance and achieve the goal of killing someone with a borrowed knife?
Li Luochen thought about it a lot.
Given Giovanni's ruthless and ambitious persona, he probably knew he had a feud with the Rockets and was trying to use another identity to improve his relationship with them.
If Giovanni's true identity is later revealed, the relationship between the two sides may ease considerably because of this.
This was Li Luochen's guess; otherwise, Sakaki wouldn't have solved his urgent problem for no reason.
……
……
Kanto Region, Quartz Plateau, Alliance Headquarters.
"Gym Leader Sakaki, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Yulongdu dialed Sakaki's number and exchanged pleasantries for a while.
"Not bad, we've arrested some more Team Rocket members recently."
Sakaki's voice came from the other end of the phone: "King Wataru is so busy, why did you suddenly decide to call me today?"
"Didn't I hear from Luo Chen that your secretary said you wanted to get to know him? Didn't Li Fan tell Luo Chen about your relationship with him before he died?"
"Heh, has King Du forgotten that you only recently went to the Eastern Huang region, which is how he found out you're his uncle?"
Sakaki did not answer directly, but indirectly answered Lance by referring to what had happened before.
"Tsk."
Yu Longdu rubbed his temples. Heaven knows how much this couple had been hiding from Li Luochen.
Leaving aside the matter of his fiancée.
Even the fact that he was Li Luochen's uncle was only revealed to Li Luochen after Li Fan and his wife died.
I have no idea what this couple was thinking.
Why do you keep everything from Li Luochen?
"That kid is a real handful. If he had known about our relationship with him beforehand, to use a classic line from a TV drama in the Donghuang region, he probably would have stopped eating beef a long time ago."
Sakaki clearly knew what Li Luochen had done during high school.
He likes these kinds of boisterous young people.
Speaking of which...
If Yin hadn't gotten lost, she and Li Luochen should have gotten along very well, right?
Sakaki on the other end of the phone looked dazed for a moment.
In the end, he was brought back to his senses by Yulongdu's call.
"Master Sakaki, I'll leave the liaison with Li Luochen to you. I'll send him your contact information so he can add you."
"Alright, King Du is very kind."
"You're welcome."
……
……
Rongcheng, Donghuang region.
[Yulong Ferry: Recommended contact person: "Sakaki of the Earth"]
[Yulongdu: This is Sakaki's personal account. Add him when you have time.]
Li Luochen: ? ? ?
No, huh?
Did you give him Sakaki's contact information in the time it takes to make a phone call?
Although I don't know what they talked about, it seems like they wanted me to communicate with Sakaki.
Well, well, I've already declined, it would be impolite not to add it.
Thinking of this.
Li Luochen sent a friend request.
Sakaki passed instantly.
[Yan Yan Yan: Good afternoon, Master Sakaki~]
[Sakaki of the Earth: Nephew Luo Chen, there's no need for such politeness.]
[Sakaki of the Earth: Speaking of which, your father and I were very close friends, like brothers. How about you call me Uncle Sakaki? (Smiling handshake.jpg)]
Li Luochen looked somewhat bewildered in front of the screen.
What do you mean, "Sakaki was my father's best friend"?!
