[Jiang Xinyue: Mr. Ren, I have thoroughly analyzed all the data for the 'Shadow Demon' project, and everything is normal.]
[Jiang Xinyue: I will keep you updated on the progress of the 'Magic Shadow' software development. I have already sent the detailed information to your email. As for the acquisition of Xinyue Film and Television, I will do my best to cooperate. At the same time, I am also preparing to integrate the resources of Xinyue Media, Nianlun Film and Television, and Dadi Film and Television. I will place the detailed plan in paper form on your desk in a week.]
In addition, regarding some "unhealthy practices" within the company, I will be conducting a one-month rectification campaign. The plan has already been submitted to Vice President Zhang for signature and approval.
[Jiang Xinyue: Also, please ask President Ren to take good care of his health and ensure his own safety.]
Xu Milu looked at the message from the "gold card tycoon" she had just acquired and couldn't help but nod happily.
It's only been less than a week, right? Jiang Xinyue has not only taken over the "Shadow of the Demon" project completely, but also made swift and decisive rectifications to address the problems that have arisen within the company. In terms of efficiency, he is equivalent to one and a half Wang Lans, and in terms of work ability, he is equivalent to ten Zhang Cangs. He is simply the kind of talent that every boss dreams of!
But the tone of that last sentence seemed so strange. Was it because he was afraid that she would be assassinated by the pharmaceutical and film industries?
Xu Milu stroked her chin, seemingly lost in thought.
She's had some free time lately. Firstly, she hasn't been running around all over the world lately, but has been staying in her shop waiting for customers. She's even changed the location for her official transactions to the Mountain and Sea Restaurant, which has significantly improved her transaction efficiency.
Once, when officials from the Chinese government came to trade seeds, they happened to see Hu Silang, who was wearing a fox head, swaggering out. Chen Yuanyu, a seasoned veteran cadre, almost fainted on the spot.
Although it's troublesome to constantly switch to "Ren Honghe's" appearance, for Xu Milu, trouble is better than having her identity exposed.
Because time flows at different speeds in different dimensions, sometimes diners from two different dimensions will arrive at the same time, just like now.
"Damn it! That Milu is so cunning! She opened such a great shop on the nameless island without telling me. If I hadn't seen the news in a food magazine, I would have missed it!"
The elf with silver-white hair had a lively expression, completely unlike the noble elegance she gave off at first glance. She wore a light gray bark-stitched outer garment and a tree-green long skirt, which shimmered with a faint green light as she moved.
Another guest clearly didn't understand why he had suddenly appeared there. His smooth face had a single eye that looked around warily, and his soft, thick snake body was coiled up, its tail striking the ground with a series of crisp "snap" sounds.
"Where is this? Where did the hunt suddenly take us?"
The snake-bodied, human-faced guest was carrying a rather "huge" prey in his mouth. The prey had a horse-faced, human-bodied body, wings on its back, a snake tail, and yellow and black tiger stripes, which was very similar to the horse-bodied, human-faced beast that Xu Milu had seen in the Zhaoyao Mountain range.
"Aaaaaah—it's a centaur!! MiruMiru, come out quick! A madman has brought a dead centaur to your shop and is causing trouble! Aaaaah!"
The moment Lola saw the beast, she jumped up, and a green bow, half the height of a person, quickly appeared in her hand, with a poisoned arrow poised to be fired.
"You are terrible, eat me!"
The snake, quite alert, coiled itself up, nimbly sliding a few times on the ground, and then coiled itself on the roof beam, revealing its sharp fangs.
The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense. Lola's arrow was poised to be released, and the ground's fangs were aimed at Lola's throat. The scene was about to get out of control.
"Wait, wait, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! We're all friends!"
Xu Milu, carrying a basket of fresh vegetables, quickly stopped the two. If her two best friends started attacking each other because of the language barrier, that would be a real blunder.
The elf and the ghost-king simultaneously stopped what they were doing and said in unison:
"Hey? Milu, is this your friend?"
“Of the earth, my friend.”
...
...
After explaining that it was all a misunderstanding, the three of them sat down in the shop to drink freshly squeezed juice. Because Di's body was too soft, Xu Milu and Lola had to manually curl her up so that she could sit in front of the table.
"It's not my fault for misunderstanding. That magical beast looked just too much like a centaur. You've never seen a centaur before, have you? Centaurs generally live in sparsely populated forests on continents without food. Whether they are female or male, they are quite irritable. Once a companion is killed by a human, they will chase that person for thousands of miles until they bleed to death."
The easygoing Lola clearly accepted being from the land of demons; after finishing a glass of iced juice, she even tentatively tried to touch the snakeskin on the ground.
"Wow! Is that really a snake's body?! I've heard that some half-orcs retain some animal characteristics, but this is the first time I've seen it in person! I apologize, but could I touch her tail? Please, please!"
What Lola said sounded like complete gibberish to the locals. She turned to look at Xu Milu, who smiled and explained:
"This is my friend Lola. Like the earth, she's one of the good friends I met on my travels. We've been to many places together. I'll tell you her story when I have time—ah, she just thought you killed some kind of mythical beast and that you were here to cause trouble, which is why she pulled out her weapon at you. She apologized to you."
"That is Shuhu. It tastes very good. It can breathe fire. Eating one end of it can keep you asleep for as long as two rope knots."
The snake flicked its tongue, glanced at Lola's eager hand, and slowly squeezed out another sentence:
"I don't like it, it's too noisy and too ugly."
Xu Milu: "..."
Or maybe we shouldn't translate this sentence?
Elves are a race that values beauty above all else; if this were translated verbatim, wouldn't Lola explode on the spot?
At this point, she suddenly noticed that Lola's original long silver hair had been cut off, leaving only shoulder-length short hair. Although she vaguely guessed what was going on, she still didn't ask.
Lola followed Xu Milu's gaze and looked down, waving her hand knowingly:
"It's nothing! It's just that I was punished by the Elf Queen for losing the Elf Tree seed. She not only stripped me of my title but also removed me from the Knights Order, and I even got laughed at by that guy Overland. I don't care at all!"
No, your speaking speed clearly shows you care a lot.
Xu Milu patted her shoulder and comforted her:
"When you're feeling down, you should eat dishes made with flaming mandolin peppers. We have some freshly arrived live fish today, how about it, want some?"
Upon hearing the word "food," both Lola and Di's eyes lit up simultaneously.
