Chapter 157: An unexpected assistant

Director Yi showed Xu Ying the names on the list and said, "You can choose an animal rescuer from among those currently helping out at the rescue station headquarters to be your assistant."

In desert areas, animal rescuers whose rescue sites are close to the headquarters are the first choice for the headquarters to dispatch personnel.

Moreover, these animal rescuers have a hidden benefit: they can drive for dozens of minutes to the headquarters cafeteria to eat and improve their diet.

"Who do you want to help you?"

Xu Ying's eyes swept over the names on the list, and finally his finger landed on the word "Liu Kai": "Director Yi! I want Liu Kai to be my assistant!"

Xu Ying's choice was beyond Director Yi's expectations.

He clearly remembered that the two of them had been at odds from the beginning, and Liu Kai had a lot of opinions about Xu Ying. The bet between the two regarding Ling Yu's competition was also a hot topic among colleagues.

Director Yi's face was filled with surprise. "I thought you would choose Zhuo Yi and the others."

If choosing a partner or collaborator, Xu Ying would definitely choose someone with whom he has a good relationship and a tacit understanding.

But now it’s time to choose an assistant!

Doesn’t the assistant just follow her instructions?

That means choosing subordinates to do the dirty and tiring work!

How could Xu Ying bear to harm those animal rescuers with good character and personality!

Of course, such animal rescuers should be left to the little animals~

With such a good opportunity, of course she would choose to deal with the colleagues who have been targeting her and clean up the workplace.

Xu Ying smiled slightly, her big black eyes showing a cunning light.

She cleared her throat and said, "I think there's some misunderstanding between Comrade Liu Kai and me. I want to resolve it and ease our relationship as colleagues, so I chose him this time."

Xu Ying spoke seriously, his eyes revealing a desire and sincerity to ease the tension between colleagues. "We all work together in the desert, we're one big family, and I don't want to have any major conflicts with my comrades who have fought side by side with me."

What he said was righteous and had a special meaning.

Director Yi was very surprised when he heard what Xu Ying said: "Good boy, you are so sensible."

"On the other hand, Liu Kai, who is three years older than you, has made no progress in all these years working in the desert and is always daydreaming."

Director Yi shook his head: "I will inform him immediately. After lunch today, he will pack up and leave with you."

He was afraid that Xu Ying would be bullied by the elderly people in the shelter again, so he added, "I will seriously instruct him to cooperate with your work unconditionally!"

Xu Ying smiled widely: "Okay, Director Yi, I'll leave it to you!"

After seeing Director Yi off, the smile on Xu Ying's face grew wider and wider. Roar, I can now order my subordinates around as I please!

"What?!"

"I'm Xu Ying's assistant?"

At noon in the cafeteria, after hearing Director Yi's notice, Liu Kai screamed in surprise, almost blowing the roof off the cafeteria.

Liu Kai, who used to be active in the sight of his colleagues, took the opportunity to show off.

But it's been quiet these past few days.

After Ling Yu broke the world record in the competition.

He didn't post on WeChat Moments or hang out in various work groups to avoid interacting with many people. He was always sneaky when he came to the headquarters to report and clock in.

Liu Kai, who used to be the most active eater, would even eat during off-peak hours when he came to the cafeteria and eat the leftovers.

The same is true today.

Because the cafeteria lady had a bad impression of Liu Kai, Liu Kai was not given extra meals even if he arrived at the cafeteria late.

When Liu Kai was tucking into a pile of vegetarian dishes in his bowl, wondering when this kind of hidden life would end, Director Yi dealt him an even heavier blow.

Liu Kai made a voice call to Director Yi with his hands trembling with anger: "Director Yi, can I refuse this job arrangement?"

"Do you have any valid reason for refusing?"

Director Yi retorted to Liu Kai with just one sentence.

"If you don't perform well this time, I'll have to transfer you to the new aid station on the edge of the desert."

Liu Kai felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

What? He's going to be exiled for poor performance?!

Oh my god. Is this Xu Ying poisonous?

After dinner, Liu Kai reluctantly carried his bag and reported to Xu Ying.

Because he ate late, Liu Kai even had his lunch break squeezed out.

"Xu Ying, why did you choose me?"

Liu Kai gritted his teeth.

He suddenly thought of an idea to disgust Xu Ying.

"You made a bet with me and chose me as your assistant. Are you interested in me?"

Liu Kai smiled crookedly, licking his teeth with his tongue, revealing what he considered to be the greasy expression.

Xu Ying looked at Liu Kai expressionlessly: "I don't think you have any brains. Why don't you eat some rat poison? If you die, it proves that you are a rat."

"You still owe me two thousand trees, don't forget."

"Now everyone in the desert relief area knows about this. Before you complete your goal, everyone will remind you of something when they see you."

Liu Kai's expression immediately deflated, like a balloon that had been punctured by a needle.

Xu Ying said with a kind yet polite smile: "If you think I'm interested in you, then fine, I'll choose you to do any work in the future. I also look forward to seeing you appear in front of me all the time."

Xu Ying patted his dune bike.

"Aren't you envious of my motorcycle? Go get it. Why are you still standing there? Assistant Liu."

When Liu Kai saw Xu Ying's car, he felt a little better. At least he could sit in the car and didn't have to drive the motorcycle himself!

However, Xu Ying's next words made him stop in his tracks and get into the car.

"I might drive fast if I'm in a hurry, and the road will be very bumpy."

"You vomited five hundred on the car."

"Cleaning fee."

——"I'd better drive my own motorcycle."

Liu Kai silently withdrew his foot that was about to get into the car.

Everyone at the rescue station headquarters now knows how good Xu Ying is at driving a motorcycle.

Xu Ying had many ways to deal with him. If he sat on it, he felt that his brains might be shaken apart like beaten lemon tea.

Tolerate.

Anyway, it only takes a day or two to investigate Crescent Oasis.

In order to avoid being sent to the new rescue station on the edge of the desert, just endure it for a day or two.

Liu Kai, full of resentment, followed Xu Ying on his small motorcycle.

Xu Ying was in a hurry to go to Crescent Oasis for investigation, and he didn't have time to deal with Liu Kai on the way.

After driving in the desert for nearly two hours following the navigation, Xu Ying and his companions arrived near the Crescent Oasis.

The map showed that they would pass Crescent Lake, a seasonal lake in Crescent Oasis, 2 kilometers ahead. Xu Ying said to Liu Kai, "Wait a minute, let's stop near Crescent Lake."

Water sources like lakes are very attractive to small animals in the desert. She might be able to meet a few small animal volunteers who are willing to have their blood drawn.
