Rong Yu entered carrying a large bag of things, her forehead damp with a fine sheen of sweat.
Shi Jing had prepared slippers for him at the door, so he could just go inside.
"Xiao Jing." Rong Yu changed her shoes and entered the room. Seeing that there was another person inside, she nodded in greeting.
"Brother Yu, you're here." Shi Jing introduced the two of them, "Brother Yu, this is my assistant Miao Chen. Miao Chen, this is my friend Rong Yu."
"Hello." Seeing that the person entered familiarly, Miao Chen knew that he was Shi Jing's friend, so he also greeted Rong Yu.
"Hello." Rong Yu nodded in acknowledgment and walked inside with the bag. "You guys go ahead with your work, I'll go to the kitchen to put my things down."
Rongyu didn't disturb them and went into the kitchen to clean up by herself.
Seeing this, Shi Jing went along with him and continued to arrange the matters to be dealt with.
After a while, Rong Yu brought out a plate of sliced fruit. He placed the plate on the table where the two of them were working and said in a low voice, "Have some fruit."
Two small plastic forks are neatly arranged in the fruit bowl.
Miao Chen quickly thanked him.
Shi Jing checked the time; it was just nine o'clock. "Want to take a break? It's still early."
"It's alright. The bones need to be stewed beforehand, otherwise they won't be tender. You go ahead with your work, I'll go in and get busy first." Rong Yu smiled and shook her head, then went back into the kitchen.
Rong Yu closed the glass door as soon as he entered the kitchen, but a slight sound could still be heard.
By noon, the aroma could already be faintly smelled.
Wow, Rong Yu's cooking skills are really good. Just smelling the aroma makes me think it must taste delicious.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and the aroma of food made Shi Jing a little hungry, so she lost her focus on work.
"That's enough for now, we'll finish the rest this afternoon." Shi Jing put down his pen, closed the folder, and forked off a piece of orange to eat.
"Okay." Seeing this, Miao Chen also put away his things. "Then, young boss, I'll head back now..."
"you……"
"Need not."
Two voices rang out one after the other. Shi Jing looked back and saw that Rong Yu had come out.
Rong Yu was wearing an apron he bought during the Lunar New Year, and he was holding a dish he had prepared. He looked every bit the perfect stay-at-home husband.
"We still need to prepare this afternoon, let's eat together."
“This…” Miao Chen looked at Shi Jing and then at Rong Yu, hesitating.
Rong Yu chuckled, "I've made your portion, why don't you stay and eat with us?" She then glanced at Shi Jing, "Is that alright?"
Shi Jing smiled and said, "Of course."
Rong Yu is the one who put in the labor, so she certainly wouldn't refuse to keep her.
"Stay and eat. We'll finish cooking soon enough so you can go home and rest earlier."
Miao Chen agreed.
At noon, Rong Yu stewed bone broth and also specially made a stir-fried pig's blood dish. When the dishes were served, he didn't forget to tease Shi Jing, saying, "Hey, this dish was specially made to replenish blood."
Shi Jing smelled the fragrance and thought it was quite nice.
Miao Chen helped Rong Yu serve the rice and dishes, and soon everything was served. The three of them ate together. Shi Jing was even served a bowl of bone broth, making it seem like a meal for a patient.
After dinner, Shi Jing and Miao Chen finished working on the remaining documents.
She had originally planned to check if there were any suitable investment projects at the research center after finishing up her company affairs, but that matter has been put on hold for now.
Nothing much has been going on lately, so I'll just stay home and rest for a few days.
"If there's anything else at the company, please contact me by phone."
"Okay, little boss."
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Shi Jing added, "Keep an eye on things at the police station for me, especially their online activity, to prevent our opponents from stirring up trouble again."
"Don't worry, the public relations department is keeping an eye on it."
After a brief exchange, Shi Jing told him to go home early. He would need to keep an eye on the case during this time. If someone was targeting her, then the forces behind that person were definitely not clean. What normal person could contact human traffickers to commit a crime?
After the person left, Rong Yu asked worriedly, "Should we hire a bodyguard? The mastermind behind this hasn't been caught yet, and there's no guarantee they won't strike again."
Shi Jing hesitated. She wasn't someone who liked having bodyguards around, and they didn't offer her much freedom. But the safety issue was something she really had to consider.
Unfortunately, the system's enhancement is only temporary. If only...
The little God of Wealth, detecting Shi Jing's thoughts, responded before she could even ask: [Ding! This system is the God of Wealth System; it does not provide any support other than money except in special circumstances. Please be aware!]
[Beep! Security needs detected for the host. The following task is hereby issued: Please assemble a comprehensive security team as soon as possible. Reward: Estimated annual security expenditure of 100 million yuan!]
The little god of wealth acted so quickly, as if he was afraid that Shi Jing would make some unreasonable request, leaving Shi Jing speechless.
While it's true she really wanted to acquire superhuman strength, it's a bit difficult, but isn't the system's speed in shifting blame a bit excessive...?
Okay, strictly speaking, it doesn't count.
The little god of wealth is quite generous.
"Please, I'll contact them right away!"
Although she wanted to increase her strength, the situation didn't allow it, so she had to settle for second best.
At least the security team they hired can protect not only her, but also her company.
Rong Yu was slightly relieved when he saw that she agreed.
"By the way, Brother Yu, I need to ask you to tell Senior Brother Sun that he should continue his research as usual, and I'll visit his lab when I have time."
"Don't worry, I'll handle these things and won't delay his research," Rong Yu comforted him. "On the contrary, you're already injured, so you should rest well."
“Mmm,” Shi Jing nodded repeatedly.
For the next two days, Shi Jing's life was quite routine. Rong Yu would come over on time every morning to cook, and then go back home after preparing dinner in the afternoon. Besides having her cooking taken care of, a housekeeper would come to clean the house at other times, so she could just eat, sleep, and play.
Even her usual early morning exercise has been changed to walking. If it weren't for her daily studies, she would have almost given up.
Two days later, the wound had healed considerably, and at least normal life was no longer affected. When Rong Yu was about to leave after preparing the meal, Shi Jing suggested that Rong Yu no longer needed to run back and forth between the two places.
With the help of others and their care, her life has been very comfortable lately, with beautiful women and delicious food, making her life wonderful.
However, at the same time, Rong Yu was working too hard. It wasn't that Rong Yu wasn't working; on the contrary, he was still working on a project with a research group. It was okay in the short term, but in the long term, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep up.
“I’m not tired, you need to replenish your nutrition.” Rong Yu hesitated, seeing that Shi Jing was very serious about this.
"Still need more supplements? I've gained weight." Shi Jing quickly refused. "Don't worry, Brother Yu, I'm almost fully recovered. Besides, I'm going to the company tomorrow, and I'm going to visit my friends the day after. They'll take care of me."
She had originally planned to go find them after finishing things here, but her injury delayed her.
After Jian Rong and the others learned of her injury, they kept inviting her over. Originally, Tao Yue planned to go home after clearing her head, but her eccentric boyfriend kept pestering her, so Tao Yue decided in a fit of anger not to go back and is still staying with Jian Rong.
"Alright." Rong Yu was a little disappointed, but still accepted Shi Jing's suggestion. "Then be careful when you go out. Once the bodyguards are in place, try to take them with you when you go out."
"Mmm, don't worry. I won't neglect my safety. On the contrary, you should take good care of yourself; you've even lost some weight recently."
Upon hearing Shi Jing's words, Rong Yu smiled and said, "Mm."
After agreeing that he wouldn't need to cook for her the next day, Rong Yu hurried back home.
Watching Rong Yu's departing figure, Shi Jing couldn't help but seem lost in thought.
It seems he really likes me.
