Pokémon, start your journey from the Donghuang Alliance

"Our department chair is very interested in you and wants to have a good chat with you."

"It was also he who invited you to join the school team."

"Well, let's just have lunch today. We don't have training at noon. Let's find a place to eat and chat."

"I will send you the location when the time comes. Remember to come, our director is also here."

Looking at these pieces of information, Su Yuan felt dizzy.

"Yuan, what does Chen Siyuan want from you? Is he asking you to a duel?"

Zhang Long came over curiously and asked.

"No, he wanted to invite me to join the school team, but I refused. Then he told me not to refuse in a hurry and to find a place to eat and chat at noon."

When Li Ming heard that Chen Siyuan wanted to invite Su Yuan to join the school team, he quickly came up and intervened.

"He wants to invite you to join the school team? This is a good thing. If you join the school team, you can get some subsidies for training Pokémon, which is quite a lot of money."

Liu Zhen, on the other hand, was calmer and asked directly.

"Do you think Su Yuan is the one who is short of money? Have you forgotten what Kodora usually eats?"

"Uh... that's right."

Zhang Long and Li Ming were both silent. They had both seen it with their own eyes, but Dora used metal film as food. Whose Pokémon dared to make it like this?

They also asked Su Yuan where so many metal films came from. Su Yuan directly said that his father was familiar with the steel company and got it at a low price.

Moreover, Su Yuan's novels have also begun to generate income. Although it is not high, it has exceeded the money that most college students can earn, and it is still on the rise.

"So, are you going?"

Compared with these, Liu Zhen was more interested in Su Yuan's decision.

Su Yuan shook his head.

"No, you know me. I'm free and unorganized. What I can't adapt to the most is an organized and disciplined environment. The school team and the like are not suitable for me."

"So you don't plan to treat him to dinner?"

"Well, this has to go."

Su Yuan rubbed his face and said.

"Not only Chen Siyuan and the people from the school team are going to this meal, but also the head of their combat department. The leaders are all there. If I don't go, I will be disrespectful. This is not good.

Moreover, if someone invites me to dinner, why don’t I go? "

"Do you want us to accompany you? Even though we can't do anything, we still need to take action to support the situation."

Su Yuan almost stopped laughing.

"No, I just want to talk about something. I'm not going to make an appointment with them to create a scene. I'll just go by myself after class."

"Ding~ding~ding-dong!"

The bell rang, and Li Zhong closed the textbook and courseware.

"Okay students, that's it for this class. See you in the next class."

"goodbye teacher."

After saying goodbye to the teacher, the students in the class dispersed.

"Classmate Su Yuan, please wait a moment."

Just when Su Yuan was about to go to the appointment, Li Zhong stopped him.

"Director Li, do you have anything to do with me?"

Li Zhong took a good look at Su Yuan and said.

"You can do it, kid. I originally thought you were a good researcher, but I didn't expect you to be so good as a trainer."

Su Yuan knew that Li Zhongshi was talking about the campus competition, so he smiled and scratched his head.

"There, I just had better luck and got a better ranking."

"luck."

Li Zhong smiled.

"You are too humble. Do you know that since our school held the campus competition, our biology department has never entered the finals? You are the first of its kind. The department and I studied it and planned to reward You, what do you want?”

"Ah, reward me, no need. Playing the game itself is of my own free will, and I also lost."

"Winning or losing is not important. What is important is that as the first biology student to reach the finals, you have played a very good motivating role for other students in our department. You deserve the award."

"Rewards or something, well, I'd better not use them, I don't want anything else."

As Su Yuan glanced at the time, Li Zhong noticed Su Yuan's small movements.

"What, are you in a hurry to go somewhere?"

"Well, even if a friend invites me to dinner, it's not too urgent."

"Your friends, didn't they leave first just now?"

"No, it's Chen Siyuan."

Hearing Chen Siyuan's name, Li Zhong raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

"Oh, you and Chen Siyuan are friends?"

"Ah, we just met, so we don't know each other without fighting. Well, Director Li, do you have anything else? They are already waiting over there. It's not good to keep them waiting for a long time."

Li Zhong nodded.

"In that case, you go ahead and talk about it next time when you have time."

"Okay, goodbye Director Li."

After saying goodbye, Su Yuan walked towards the school gate.

"A good character. Even after losing to others, you can still become friends with them."

Li Zhong nodded with satisfaction, then picked up his bag and prepared to return to the office.

As soon as he stepped into the office building, he saw Zhao Xuanzhen, the head of the combat department, walking out with a bag under his arm.

"Director Zhao, where are you going?"

Seeing that it was Li Zhong, Zhao Xuanzhen smiled.

"Nothing, just going out to eat."

"When you go out to eat, don't you usually eat in the school cafeteria? Why do you have time to go out to eat today?"

"Nothing, I just want to change my taste today. Did Director Li just come back from class?"

Li Zhong nodded and patted his bag.

"Yes, Xiao Zhang has something to do at home, so he asked me to teach for a while."

"That's it. Director Li has worked hard in class. Go and rest first. I'll leave first."

After saying that, Zhao Xuanzhen turned around and walked outside.

Looking at Zhao Xuanzhen's back, Li Zhong showed a slightly confused expression.

"It's weird, why is this guy acting weird today."

He had just taken two steps, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. When he went out to eat, he seemed to have thought of something.

"It's bad, this guy isn't poaching, is he?"

Without thinking much, he chased after him. As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, he saw Zhao Xuanzhen driving away from the school.

Li Zhong quickly got into his car and started chasing.

On the other side, Su Yuan took a taxi to the hotel location that Chen Siyuan sent him, got out of the car and took a look.

A large restaurant appeared in front of him.

"Good guy, this guy is really rich, he actually treats guests at a place like this."

Su Yuan knew that this place was the most expensive restaurant near the school. A meal basically cost tens of thousands, but he had never been there. Although his family still has a little money, they can't afford such trouble.

As the saying goes, if someone else treats you to a meal, it will be in vain if you don’t go.

Chapter 35: Poaching

"Classmate Su Yuan!"

As soon as he stepped into the hotel lobby, Su Yuan saw Chen Siyuan, with two acquaintances standing beside him.

Liang Fan and Cao Xinyu, who lost to him in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively.

"Hello, we meet classmate Su Yuan again."

Chen Siyuan extended his right hand in greeting.

Su Yuan shook hands politely and said hello to the other two people.

"Hello everyone, we meet again."

Liang Fan looked at Su Yuan and smiled.

"I played well in the final. I once thought I could beat this guy, but unfortunately I was still a little short."

Su Yuan smiled and spread his hands.

"There's nothing I can do. If you lose, you lose. Are we the only ones today?"

Chen Siyuan nodded.

"Yes, Cao Xinyu and Liang Fan are the two confirmed members of the school team, and they are also one of the main players in the future."

Su Yuan looked at the two of them and nodded.

"It's indeed good. Mariluli and Flying Mantis are both very good Pokémon in battle."

"I called you here today mainly because I hope that everyone can get acquainted with each other."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Su Yuan quickly stopped.

"Wait a minute, didn't I clearly reject you on the phone? I have no intention of joining the school team."

As soon as Su Yuan finished speaking, a rich voice sounded from behind.

"Student Su Yuan, don't refuse in a hurry. There are some things we can talk about slowly."

Zhao Xuanzhen, the head of the combat department, walked in from outside.

"director."

"Hello, director."

Chen Siyuan and the other three greeted Zhao Xuanzhen, and Su Yuan was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"Hello, Director Zhao."

Zhao Xuanzhen looked at Su Yuan and smiled.

"No rush, let's eat first and then chat slowly. Siyuan, is the reserved box ready?"

"Ready."

"Okay, let's go to the box first and then talk."

The four people surrounded Su Yuan. Su Yuan couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.

"Director Zhao, why don't you take me with you when you come to a place like this to eat delicious food?"

Just when Su Yuan felt extremely embarrassed, a familiar voice sounded, and Su Yuan suddenly seemed to be saved.

"Director Li, why are you here?"

When Zhao Xuanzhen saw Li Zhong, his expression suddenly became stiff.

After all, his purpose this time was to poach the biology department, but the director of the department came. What could he do?

"It's nothing. I stopped what Director Zhao said and wanted to come out for a change. After all, the food in the school cafeteria is not as good as here. I didn't expect to meet you just after I entered the door."
