Leveling Up With My Pet - Chapter 417 Liu Yong's Gift !

In the bustling heart of the capital city, Brother Yong and Ding Wen reunited after a long absence. The familiarity and camaraderie between them echoed in the warm embrace of their greeting.

“Brother Yong, is there something you want to give me?” Ding Wen inquired, his curiosity piqued.

A sly smile danced on Brother Liu Yong’s lips as he replied, “Indeed, my friend, I have a gift for you. But, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow when you visit my office.”

Ding Wen couldn’t help but playfully guess, “Could it be an antique, Brother Yong? You know how much I cherish such treasures.”

Liu Yong, ever the enigmatic friend, chuckled and deftly deflected, “No need to guess, my friend. Come, join me in savoring this delightful seafood feast.”

And indeed, the seafood spread before them was a testament to luxury. Some of the ingredients had been procured by Liu Yong, while the Zhangji Seafood Restaurant had lent their culinary expertise to transform them into a delectable array of dishes.

Liu Yong reminisced about their last fishing expedition, where they had caught a colossal tuna weighing several hundred catties. His eyes sparkled as he revealed, “Ding Wen, this sashimi is exquisite, and the fish bone soup is nothing short of ambrosial. Next time we venture to sea, you shall accompany me, and together we’ll aim for another mighty tuna.”

Ding Wen’s face lit up with excitement. “Absolutely, Brother Yong! Count me in. Just give me a call, and I’ll be ready.”

As the evening wore on, the two friends engaged in lively conversation, discussing Ding Wen’s plans as he took on the role of an assistant to the president.

“Starting as the assistant to the president right from the beginning, that’s impressive!” Liu Yong exclaimed.

The pleasant dinner conversation continued for over an hour, leaving them both satisfied and content.

The following day, within the hallowed halls of Liu Yong’s office, a significant moment awaited. Huang Guang, an esteemed colleague, entered bearing two carefully wrapped batteries, their gleaming presence indicative of something groundbreaking.

“Brother Yong, here are the batteries you requested,” Huang Guang announced his tone a blend of pride and dedication.

Liu Yong accepted the batteries with a radiant smile, appreciating the effort put into their presentation. “Huang Guang, you’ve truly outdone yourself. This packaging is splendid!”

Huang Guang modestly replied, “Brother Yong, you mentioned giving them away, so I thought they deserved an elegant presentation.”

Diminutive yet powerful batteries rested within a meticulously crafted gift box. Having perfected the production process, Liu Yong’s team, alongside Hu Nan and others, were now focusing on large-scale industrial production of these graphene-aluminum batteries. The future looked promising.

After a brief report on the battery project, Huang Guang turned to Liu Yong for guidance, inquiring, “Brother Yong, we’ve either completed the patent applications for the graphene-aluminum battery or are in the process. Should we announce this groundbreaking product to the public?”

Liu Yong pondered for a moment before responding, “Let’s hold off for a bit longer. There may be no need for a product launch event at all.”

Liu Yong was confident that the quality and benefits of their batteries would speak for themselves, especially with Qingyun International’s mobile phones incorporating them. It was a silent yet potent advertisement that would soon capture the market’s attention.

With this in mind, Liu Yong decided to delay any product launch plans. Aligning with his leader’s wisdom, Huang Guang dismissed the notion of a grand unveiling.

After Huang Guang’s departure, Ding Wen entered the office, greeted by Liu Yong’s warm welcome.

“Brother Yong, I’m here!” Ding Wen beamed.

Liu Yong presented the two batteries in their exquisite packaging, handing them to Ding Wen. “These are a gift for you.”

Ding Wen accepted the gift with gratitude. “I’ll examine them later, but anything from you, Brother Yong, is cherished.”

With their business concluded, Liu Yong inquired about Ding Wen’s flight details, offering to drive him to the airport. Ding Wen, however, had arranged transportation, and they parted ways with promises to meet again soon.

Ding Wen returned to his family in the capital as the day transitioned into evening. Bi Qingyun, his father, had left work early and was engrossed in reading the newspaper when his son’s cheerful arrival disrupted his concentration.n)/0𝐕𝑒𝓵𝑩1n

“Dad, Mom, I’m back!” Ding Wen announced with joy.

His mother embraced him warmly, while Bi Qingyun nodded and acknowledged his son. Dinner was prepared, and as they gathered around the table, even Ding Wen’s elder brother had rushed home to partake in the family reunion.

“Dad, I’ve come back to join forces with you, father and sons united,” Ding Wen declared with determination.

Bi Qingyun, concerned for his son’s academic pursuits, inquired about his plans. Ding Wen explained, “I’m in my senior year, and my classes have wrapped up. Now it’s time for internships and working on my graduation thesis. The school has approved my application, and I’ll be ready for the defense.”

The family celebrated their reunion with a hearty meal, followed by tea, TV, and heartwarming conversations. The topic naturally drifted towards the transition to domestic lithium batteries in Qingyun International’s products.

Bi Qingyun confirmed their decision, “We’ll soon switch to domestic batteries. We have enough imported stock to last for a few more months.”

Ding Wen’s elder brother chimed in, “The quality of domestic lithium batteries has improved significantly. I don’t foresee any major issues in transitioning to them.”

Amid these discussions, Ding Wen couldn’t help but bring up the topic of mobile phone batteries. “Dad, are we really going to use domestic batteries exclusively?”

Bi Qingyun confirmed their decision once more, while Ding Wen’s elder brother added, “Domestic lithium batteries have become quite reliable, almost on par with their imported counterparts. We should be fine.”

With their minds made up, they continued their family bonding, sharing gifts and stories from Ding Wen’s recent journey. When Ding Wen revealed a box from Brother Yong, it piqued their curiosity.

“Ding Wen, this is a gift from Brother Yong, right?” his elder brother inquired.

Ding Wen nodded, and with everyone’s eyes upon him, he carefully unveiled the contents of the box.

To everyone’s surprise, nestled within was not the gold or jade they had anticipated, but two mobile phone batteries—gifts from Brother Liu Yong.
