The atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

As smart as Jian Luo was, she keenly sensed that something was wrong. Oh no, could it be that Lu Shifeng actually doesn't like the type of secretary Jin?

It was too late to undo what had been done, so Jian Luo had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Actually, well, we don't need Secretary Jin."

…

Lu Shifeng sat down next to him and glanced at him: "You are quite good at matchmaking. How about I open a marriage agency for you?"

He is indeed angry.

Jian Luo quickly said, "No, no, no, I was just saying it casually. Marshal, please be magnanimous and don't make a fuss about it."

The young man beside him turned off the bracelet on the information terminal and subconsciously shrank back, just like a snail that would retreat into its shell at the slightest touch.

Lu Shifeng discovered that Jian Luo's temper seemed to be quite easy to get along with, but it was actually an illusion. Jian Luo was like a little snail inside. If he was hurt, he would immediately retreat into his shell and isolate himself.

Lu Shifeng changed the subject: "Why do you still call me Marshal?"

?

Jian Luo choked: "Is there a problem?"

There was a moment of silence in the air, and Lu Shifeng had to change his tone to make it clear: "You are Xiaolong's mother, you don't have to be like everyone else."

Jian Luo never expected to have such an honor!

He stroked his chin and asked sincerely, "Then what should I call you?"

The Marshal didn't seem to be particular: "What do you want to be called?"

"Hmm..." Jian Luo fell into deep thought. It was tiring to use his brain. If he didn't call him Marshal, he couldn't just call Lu Shifeng, right?

No, no, this would seem like an act of disobedience!

That's called time sealing?

It feels so awkward!

Jian fell to the bed and tossed and turned, feeling extremely entangled. Finally, he clapped his hands and said, "I'll call you Brother Long!"

“…”

Lu Shifeng was silent: "Where did you get this inspiration?"

"Isn't it great?" Jian Luo sat cross-legged on the bed, his face full of excitement: "No one should call you that."

Of course not, how could there be someone who is so bad at naming?

Besides, who would dare to call Lu Shifeng a brother, or even "Brother Long"? Why don't you go and become sworn brothers?

The Marshal was very dissatisfied with this title.

Jian Luo said, "I feel that calling me Brother Long is very intimate. Every time I call you that, I will remember my savior who saved me from danger. I will always remember Brother Long's reliability!"

…

Lu Shifeng swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth to dislike the name and changed it to: "Whatever you want."

The matter was settled, and Jian Luo was contented as he prepared to take a shower. He took off his message bracelet and placed it on the bed. "I didn't go home today, and I've left a message for my mother. If she sends any messages later, please reply for me."

Lu Shifeng responded slowly, and Jian Luo then jumped away.

The dragon race actually doesn't need a lot of sleep, but humans are different. Humans are a race that will collapse if they don't sleep for a night. The Marshal lay slowly on the bed, flipping through the book in his hand. The information bracelet next to him made a "ding dong" sound, and as expected, a voice came.

Lu Shifeng frowned slightly, picked up his phone and saw the message:

[Luoluo, I just forgot to confirm something with you. Didn't we agree on a place? But there are a lot of forked roads there. Which one should we meet at?]

The sincere questions are very touching.

Lu Shifeng narrowed his eyes and did not help Jian Luo make a decision. Instead, he put the information bracelet aside and chose to continue reading.

But they were very persistent.

Jiang Jiang sent another message: "There will be a lot of people at this time tomorrow. Please tell me first so I can book the train and restaurant."

"What style of meal do you like?"

"The weather isn't going to be good tomorrow, so please be careful before you come. How about I pick you up?"

The endless stream of messages finally cracked the Marshal's composure. Patiently exhausted, he picked up the message bracelet and replied concisely: "He's taking a shower."

…

There was silence for a long time, and then they escaped.

The next day.

When Jian Luo woke up in the morning, the Marshal had not left yet, which was very strange. Usually Lu Shifeng had a lot of things to do, but he would move quietly so as not to wake him up. What he didn't expect was that today the Marshal would also be lazy in bed!

Jian Luo sat up: "Aren't you busy today?"

Lu Shifeng was getting dressed. Seeing Jian Luo wake up, he said calmly, "Well, there's not much to deal with today. I'll take you to work."

I see.

Jian Luo then slowly stood up, stretched, and looked at the sun outside: "No, because of what happened yesterday, the pepper seeds need to be sent for inspection to see if they have been tampered with. This is Wang Heng's business, and I won't use them until this afternoon."

It just so happened that Lu Shifeng was waiting for this.

The Marshal pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Going to Phoenix Terrace for class this morning?"

“…”

Jian Luo choked: "No."

Lu Shifeng looked at him: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

As long as he doesn't have to go to class, it'll be fine. Jian Luo quickly gave an address and said, "I have an appointment to discuss something. Just drop me off there."

Lu Shifeng buttoned up his military uniform and said nonchalantly, "Is that the colleague you mentioned last time?"

Jian Luo nodded: "That's right!"

Thinking of the message that the Marshal had helped him reply last night, Jian Luo smiled: "Maybe we can say hello to each other when we meet later. It seems that you two are quite destined to meet."

Lu Shifeng said noncommittally, "Is it fate that we exchange messages?"

“…”

It was just as Jiang Jiang said. At this time, the road was really congested. When Jian Luo got off the car, he was already half an hour late than the agreed time.

Because parking on the road was not allowed for too long, Jiang Jiang could only go to the restaurant to wait, so he still couldn't see Lu Shifeng, and Jian Luo went alone.

Jian landed in the restaurant and waved at him: "Jiang Jiang!"

Jiang Jiang, who had been waiting anxiously, hurried over: "Luoluo, you're finally here. I was wondering what to do if something goes wrong."

Jian Luo smiled shyly.

The restaurant's ambiance was quite nice. Jiang Jiang had already ordered the dishes. As soon as Jian Luo sat down, she heard Jiang Jiang say, "Luoluo, I brought the contract with you. It's the one you bought shares in. The contract with the anchor you signed with Jinjiang is up for renewal, so I've prepared a contract for you. The profit split remains the same: 70% for you and 30% for me. But I have a small request. Do you agree?"

Jian Luo: "Tell me about it."

"It's nothing, actually." Jiang Jiang sighed. "Because the time of your live broadcast is not fixed each time, I know you have a job in real life and you may be busy, so you may not be able to fix a time. What I'm thinking is, if possible, can you see if you can fix the time of the live broadcast twice a week, so that it will be convenient for fans to wait?"

Jian Luo thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes I have emergencies so I can't have a fixed time. So, I'll try to have at least three live broadcasts a week, and then I'll announce the live broadcast time on my Star Network account as appropriate. Is that okay with you?"

Because of Zaizai, he really couldn't guarantee a certain time when he would be free. If there was any emergency and he had to miss the show, that was not what Jian Luo wanted to see.

Jiang Jiang didn't embarrass him, but agreed readily: "Okay!"

The two of them signed the contract very readily. Jian Luo went over the general content himself. In fact, before coming, Lu Shifeng told him to read the contract carefully to avoid any traps. Although they were friends, he still had to be more careful. After all, if some of the terms in the contract could not be guaranteed to be fulfilled, it would not be good for anyone in the end.

After finishing his work, Jiang Jiang began to think outside the box: "Luoluo, let me ask you..."

Jian Luo said happily: "You say."

"That one." Jiang Jiang looked around at Jian Luo. To be honest, Jian Luo's physique was really small compared to the generally tall and strong figures of the Dark Star people. He hesitated and said, "I'm a little curious, can you really stand being with the Marshal..."

…

The air suddenly fell into silence.

After a while.

Jian Luo picked up a vegetable and put it into Jiang Jiang's bowl: "Let's eat."

"……oh."

This meal became inexplicably unpleasant because of the last question. After finishing his meal, Jian Luo went back to the planting base. When he came to work before, basically no one looked at him straight in the eye, and some even looked at him with strange eyes that looked down on him from beginning to end. But now it is different.

Director Li waited at the door for a long time and finally saw Jian Luo: "Luoluo!"

Jian Luo paused: "Director Li."

"Finally, you've arrived." Director Li enthusiastically took his hand and said, "The pepper seeds from that batch have been monitored, and there are no problems."

Jian Luo nodded: "That's good."

Director Li followed him and sighed deeply, "I'm truly sorry about what happened earlier. It was also our negligence. The last batch of pepper seeds was sent for testing, and the results were very good. It's clear that you, Luoluo, are very capable. We've unanimously decided to upgrade your star rating and allocate a separate shed for you to manage."

In Anleyuan, people are divided into different star levels.

Starting from one star and two stars, the higher the star rating, the stronger the person's ability. However, it is not so easy to upgrade the star rating or earn money. If you do not have a certain level of strength, you will definitely suffer.

Jian Luo was surprised: "Are you sure you want to upgrade my star rating?"

Director Li was afraid that he was being modest: "If you hadn't discovered the seed problem in time, we would have suffered even greater losses."

…

Jian Luo touched his chin, but finally declined: "Thank you for your kindness, but for the time being, I will only take this batch of chili peppers from the shed. If there are any new products from Phoenix TV in the future, I will consider it again."

Director Li didn't want to agree. Seeing Jian Luo was about to refuse, he quickly said, "Then I'll leave a shed for you, okay?"

Jian Luo still shook his head. Just when he was about to say something, he suddenly thought of a problem. Although the land outside was expensive, the local prices and land prices in Anleyuan were not expensive at all. Since he wanted to open a factory in the future, why not directly approve the land from Anleyuan?

Thinking of this, Jian Luo seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up. He said, "I'll think about it again. Thank you for your advice."

Director Li was very happy: "Okay, okay."

After discussing this matter, everyone was happy. Back in the shed, the young people inside had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Jane lagging behind, their expressions varied, but they all came out:

"Brother Jian, I'm sorry."

"We didn't know what kind of person Jiang Kang was."

"Fortunately, we discovered it early."

Jian Luo lowered the door of the shed: "There's no need to talk about this now. I'm in charge of this shed and all of you. If anything goes wrong with the personnel, the responsibility lies with me."

The younger ones didn't dare to say a word. After what happened with Jiang Kang, no one dared to challenge Jian Luo anymore.

Jian Luo said directly: "The pepper seeds have been inspected and brought in. The new group can start now. This is the last batch of peppers I will be overseeing. While I'm still here, you should quickly start practicing. If there are any problems in the future, we will have to discuss it online."

Everyone nodded.

Jian Luo held a small meeting and gave everyone a general overview of the difficulties encountered in recent days. After everyone took notes, he gave some instructions on precautions before leaving. If this batch of new peppers is healthy, they should be put on the market.

During the afternoon break, Jian Luo sat in a rocking chair in the shed and ate snacks. Next to him were several employees who were also taking a break.

"Sister Qing, are you really pregnant?"

Someone asked first.

Jian Luo was stunned and looked at the little girl. She saw Wang Qingqing holding her stomach with a happy smile on her face: "Yeah, I just found out yesterday."

Jian Luo said: "Congratulations."

Wang Qingqing said softly: "Thank you, but don't worry, Brother Jian, I will definitely continue to work hard."

Jian Luo nodded: "Come on."

Everyone continued talking about the topic of children, such as where the child will go to school after he is born, where to buy diapers and other things, and whether the child might be a boy or a girl, and what he will be named in the future.

Although there are many topics about the hardships of life, most of them are positive and optimistic.

As they chatted, the young man half-jokingly said, "Sister Qingqing, you can hardly tell you're pregnant with this belly. Look at Brother Jian, he's really getting more and more blessed. I thought he was a little thin before, but now he's got a belly when he lies down. If I didn't know the truth, I would have thought he was pregnant!"

“…”

No, you don't know the truth.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingqing glanced at Jian Luo. This look made Jian Luo nervous, but she smiled and said, "Luoluo shouldn't be pregnant. I've never seen a pregnant woman in such good condition. If she was showing, she would have been three or four months pregnant, which is when the reaction is most intense. But he's full of energy and nothing's wrong."

The others nodded in agreement.

Jian Luo nodded helplessly: "Yes, I just gained weight. If I get even fatter later, please be more tolerant."

Everyone burst into laughter.

evening.

After Jian Luo returned, he couldn't help but think back to what Wang Qingqing and the others said. He felt that it made quite a lot of sense. He had reacted quite strongly before, so how come he suddenly became fine during this period of time?

Jian Luo took the initiative to flip through the textbook, hoping to find the answer in the ocean of knowledge. Finally, he found a detailed explanation on the page of "Must Know":

[The reaction time during pregnancy varies between different races, and the reaction time of the dragon race also varies depending on the mother.]

Jian Luo was shocked. Doesn't this mean that it's not time yet?

"Squeak."

When Lu Shifeng came in from outside, he saw Jian Luo lying on the bed, staring at the book with a surprised expression. The Marshal raised his eyebrows: "What are you reading?"

Jian Luo sighed: "I was wondering when your son would bother me."

Lu Shifeng sat down next to him: "Relax, think about the bright side."

Jian Luo couldn't help but be curious: "For example?"

"For example, it might start tomorrow."

“…”

Jian Luo, who was not comforted at all, really wanted to kick Lu Shifeng. Lying on the bed, thinking about this and that, he suddenly thought of a question: "Hey, Brother Long, have you ever thought about giving the cub a name?"

Lu Shifeng paused, a rare look of confusion on his handsome face. Finally, his gaze fell on Jian Luo: "Have you finished?"

Jian Luo turned over: "I think we can come up with a nickname first."

Lu Shifeng actually showed some interest. He leaned against the bed, his posture lazy and said, "Tell me about it."

"Hmm... let me think about it." Jian Luo asked curiously, "What characters do you dragons usually use when naming? I'll just follow the local customs."

Lu Shifeng agreed with him: "The Dragon Clan has both major surnames and minor surnames. Major surnames are assigned to individuals. For example, my surname is Lu, which is a major surname. Minor surnames are basically all named Long or Tian."

Jian Luo nodded: "Then why don't we think of a nickname first!"

Lu Shifeng looked at him: "Do you have any ideas?"

"Hmm..." Jian Luo thought over and over again, hoping to give the baby a more domineering name so that he wouldn't lose at the starting line. After thinking for a long time, he slowly said, "Long Batian, what do you think?"

The author has something to say: Baby: It’s okay, hmm.
