Jon's expression darkened as he looked at the man who spoke coldly, "If you don't want to, you don't have to show up, but Li Shu's appearance has made a great contribution to the Star Beasts. You are not allowed to insult a hero like this!"
"What kind of hero is he!" The man's outburst was like a broken jar, and he glared at Li Shu fiercely. "Because of him, we keepers are on the verge of unemployment every day. Because of him, we can't hold our heads up in front of the star beasts. They always look at us with a bit of contempt, always comparing us to this guy!"
"What did we do wrong to deserve this? Even worse, we've lost our jobs because of his plants!"
The people who work in the prison have backgrounds not much different from Li Shu's. They don't have a good social status, are orphans, and are unwilling to live on the poor maintenance allowance every day, so they come to work in the prison.
But now such a lucrative job is about to disappear because of Li Shu's plants. How can they not hate it!
Although the other breeders in the conference room did not speak, their depressed expressions made it very easy to see the obscurity in each other's eyes. Like this breeder, they also had some dissatisfaction in their hearts.
Li Shu now finally confirmed what the warden said. What he did was beneficial to some people, but harmful to others.
Faced with such a situation, Li Shu didn't know what to do.
However, after seeing everyone's attitude and understanding everyone's thoughts, the warden looked at them with some disapproval, "So, you are excluding your colleagues for this reason?"
He glared at them angrily. "Since you're worried about getting fired, you could have come to me and discussed it. Besides, when did I ever say I was going to fire you? Even if there aren't any Star Beasts with excessive danger rates in the future, we can still work together on other projects. But no matter what you do, as long as I have a job, I won't abandon you. But your performance today has really disappointed me!"
The keeper who had stood up heard this and instantly felt guilty. "Warden, I'm sorry. I was wrong."
"You shouldn't apologize to me, but to the people who were hurt by you!"
The breeder paused for a moment before turning to look at Hongshu. He took a deep breath and looked at Li Shu seriously, "Mr. Li, I'm so sorry!"
Li Shu smiled and said, "I understand."
He understood the other person's resentment and dissatisfaction, but he knew that understanding was one thing, and forgiveness was another. He had endured this person's anger for no reason, and he could not generously forgive him just because he apologized.
The breeder seemed to have heard the hidden meaning of Li Shu's words, and his face turned pale.
Seeing this, Jon couldn't help but sigh, then he asked the breeder to sit down and talked about some precautions for the day before adjourning the meeting.
After the meeting, the warden called Li Shu to his office again. "Warden, is there anything else?"
"It's true that something's up." The warden sighed softly before continuing, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will come tomorrow to confer your title upon you, but because the timing is so rushed and unexpected, your clothes haven't been made yet. So, would you like to go out with me tonight and have some clothes made for you tomorrow?"
Li Shu frowned, feeling somewhat suspicious. Although his former country was not an empire, he had some understanding of such a system. If one wanted to promote a person, he would have to give him at least ten days to half a month to prepare, and there were also things like the arrangement of the venue, which all needed to be arranged in advance.
It takes about half a month to get from Emperor Star to Lido Planet. If the other party can land tomorrow, it means that they should have set off half a month ago. They could have presented this news at that time.
But they didn't, and only notified us today, which gave Li Shu a bad feeling.
So, when faced with the warden's invitation, he refused without hesitation. He smiled and explained, "Warden, no thanks. I'll just wear my work clothes. After all, the Crown Prince didn't notify us in advance. If we prepare too much, the Crown Prince might misunderstand that we've wanted this title for a long time. Then the Empire will misunderstand us. So, just in case, it's better for us to keep it as it is."
Hearing this, Qiao En looked at him with a complicated expression, "Li Shu, do you know something?"
"Know what?" Li Shu looked at the warden with some confusion, not quite understanding what he meant.
The warden didn't say anything, just shook his head and let Li Shu leave.
Li Shu didn't say much, turned around and left the office building.
Arriving on the street, Li Shu smiled and greeted Huo Wei, "Waiting here alone, isn't it very boring?"
"It's okay. I can listen to the interstellar news. It's okay."
Huo Wei replied nonchalantly, then asked, "By the way, what meeting did you have today?"
"Nothing much." Li Shu said nonchalantly, "The warden just told us that our empire's crown prince is coming, and he even said he would confer a title on me."
After hearing what Li Shu said, Huo Wei's face instantly turned gloomy. "Qiao Lu Si is coming?"
"That should be the name." He heard Howie's tone, with surprise still flashing in his eyes, "Do you know him?"
Without waiting for Huo Wei to speak, he nodded first, "Yes, you are the marshal and he is the prince, it is normal for you to know each other."
At this point, Li Shu's eyes flickered with excitement. "By the way, can you tell me what your relationship with the prince is like?"
"Not very good." Huo Wei said coldly, "But you'd better not have too much contact with him. I'm worried that he will kill you."
There was a hint of coldness in Xuelang's voice. Li Shu saw this and the curiosity in his eyes became more intense. You know, he has known Huo Wei for such a long time. Although he looks cold on weekdays, he is actually more indifferent and apathetic. This is the first time he has seen such disgust on his face when he mentioned someone.
But just as he was about to continue asking, Li Shu interrupted what he was about to say without hesitation and said in a deep voice, "We are going back."
Li Shu: "..."
He sighed, then clicked a button, letting the car drive automatically back to the staff dormitory.
