After a moment of silence
Jiang Jiang suddenly rushed into the master bedroom and shoved the message bracelet into Jian Luo's hand, saying anxiously, "The Marshal asked you to call him back, hurry up, don't delay!"
Jian Luo was stunned. He said, "But didn't you just say..."
"What are you talking about just now? It's too late!" Jiang Jiang sweatdropped. "Hurry up, Luoluo! What if the Marshal comes looking for you because you didn't reply? Can you bear to see your brother get into trouble? Can you bear it?!"
“…”
You change your face too quickly.
Jian Luo took the bracelet. He really didn't want to fight Lu Shifeng. He really had nothing to say to that inhuman old dragon. Moreover, he felt that Lu Shifeng had nothing to be arrogant about now! It was obviously he who had let him down!
Seeing him hesitate, Jiang Jiang was about to cry: "Luoluo, you have to leave a way for your brother to survive. If the marshal investigates, you may never see me again."
Jian Luo sighed: "It's been a long time since the call was hung up."
Jiang Jiang nodded frantically: "Luoluo, it all depends on you."
Jian Luo walked into the master bedroom, closed the door, and clicked the redial button. The call was connected almost immediately.
Lu Shifeng's voice was calm and leisurely, and also had a magnetic quality: "Hmm?"
Jian Luo originally thought Jiang Jiang was too cowardly, but now it was her turn. She was originally full of anger, but was immediately cowed by the "hmm" sound: "Lu Shifeng? It's me."
Lu Shifeng: "Well, are you done with the shower?"
"I'm done." Jian Luo decided to make a quick decision: "What's going on?"
Stay steady, stay steady.
As long as he keeps steady, there is nothing to be afraid of!
Lu Shifeng's voice was a little cold: "Are you still able to walk?"
“…”
Jian Luo gritted his teeth and said, "Thanks to you, it's okay."
"Yes." Lu Shifeng finally spoke: "I'll ask Secretary Jin to pick you up."
Jian Luo quickly said: "No need!"
He was so stubborn and decisive that Lu Shifeng finally became a little unhappy. The man narrowed his eyes and asked, "Reason?"
It's rare for a man to not understand something.
He has hinted so clearly, and Jian Luo doesn't seem stupid, so how could he not understand what he means?
Jian Luo was surprised: "I have my own home to return to, and I have already resigned from the military."
Lu Shifeng frowned: "Why, the treatment is not good?"
“…”
This is not a question of treatment or not.
This is……
It’s a question of moral integrity, okay?
Jian Luo simply couldn't communicate with this man. He tried to reason with him, "Marshal, regarding what happened last night, I feel... well, since it happened, I'm not some chaste woman who insists you pay compensation. So, let's just part ways amicably. I know you called me to discuss compensation or something, but there's no need. I can handle it myself, really!"
There was an eerie silence on the other end of the phone.
quite a while
Lu Shifeng said, "Don't you want to move out of Anleyuan?"
There is no human being who does not dream of leaving Paradise, a place that is crowded and cramped, where technology is backward and life is inconvenient.
Jian Luo pursed his lips, his brows and eyes turned colder: "Marshal, I cook for you and work for you. I sell food, not sell people. I don't need to get anything through my body. I can understand that what happened last night might be an accident due to your physical discomfort or other reasons. That's it, don't contact me anymore, hang up."
The call was cut off
Jian Luo threw the phone aside.
Jiang Jiang, who was standing beside him, was stunned. He hesitated and said, "Luoluo, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should say it or not."
Jian Luo was suspicious: "What?"
"Well, you might not know this," Jiang Jiang explained. "Housing prices on Dark Star are 500,000 yuan per square meter. If you want to buy a three-bedroom apartment, it'll probably cost around 70 or 80 million yuan. And since you're a human, you're not eligible to buy a house."
“…”
Jian Luo widened his eyes.
"But from what I heard from the Marshal just now, it seems that he wants to give us a suite to rest." Jiang Jiang began his calculations: "The properties under the Marshal's control must be large properties within the first ring of the Imperial Palace, starting at 100 million."
…
…
Jian Luo fumbled to find the information bracelet, his eyes red with anger: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Jiang Jiang felt wronged: "You didn't even give me a chance, and I saw that you were so strong-willed that you didn't seem to care much."
I care!
I've already ridden this thing. If I had known it would cost so much money, I would definitely have made some of my money back!
Jian Luo's face was filled with tears. He was filled with regret now. Incomparable regret, complete regret, as if he had missed out on 100 million!
Jiang Jiang comforted him: "Forget it, maybe it's not our destiny."
Jian Luo lay completely like Ge You on the sofa.
Seeing how miserable he was, Jiang Jiang offered, "Okay, take a break and watch some TV. I have some newly imported fruits in my refrigerator. I'd like to give them a try. Most of them are from other planets, and some are from Linggu."
Jian Luo became interested: "Really? Thank you."
Jiang Jiang said you're welcome: "Although you are my employee, you are also my good brother. Let's not be so polite."
Jian Luo smiled slightly.
After a while, Jiang Jiang brought the fruits over. Among them was a soft candy fruit that looked like marshmallow. Jian Luo took a bite and said, "Hmm, a little sour."
Jiang Jiang smiled: "This is produced in abundance in the Dark Star Dragon Valley. Every year at this time of year, the sacred dragon trees there produce a lot of holy dragon fruit."
Jian Luo thought for a moment: "Why this season?"
"Because this season is the mating season for dragons, pregnant females will love to eat Holy Dragon Fruit. This is also because the little dragons need the nutrients from the dragon mother tree, and they rely on this fruit to supplement it." Jiang Jiang explained to him: "Some people on Dark Star are beastmen who can transform into humans, and the other part are single-race people like me."
Jian Luo didn't know much about this world: "It turns out not everyone can turn into an animal."
Jiang Jiang was shocked by his ignorance: "Of course not, the status of the beast tribe is very high. For example, the military leader is from the dragon tribe, the high priest is from the phoenix tribe, and the richest man in our country is a Pixiu. The royal family are all blood tribes."
Jian Luo held the Holy Dragon Fruit and ate it: "That Dark Star person is really powerful."
"Sacred dragon fruit used to be in short supply, and only pregnant women could eat it." Jiang Jiang took one for himself. "But now, we haven't had any cubs for thousands of years, so the sacred dragon fruit is no longer in short supply."
Jian Luo nodded, not quite understanding.
There were only two holy dragon fruits on the table, and now they were gone. Jian Luo thought they were delicious: "Then they should be very cheap, right?"
Jiang Jiang smiled. "I don't know what's going on. The Holy Dragon Fruit trees haven't been blooming much since we didn't have any cubs. But last night, a whole area of Holy Dragon Fruit trees suddenly started blooming. Now that the fruits are ripe, it's easy to buy them."
Jian Luo asked: "How much?"
"Five thousand each." Jiang Jiang pushed up his glasses. "Do you think it tastes good? I think it's just average. It might be because everyone has different tastes. If you want to try it, you can buy it on the official website."
“…”
Five thousand?
Why don't you go and rob the money?
Jian Luo waved his hand: "Forget it, forget it, I won't eat it."
In fact, he was quite tired and couldn't eat anything. Now he was so lazy that he didn't even want to move a finger.
After dinner, I went straight to the master bedroom to rest.
…
next day
Jian Luo returned to his home in Anleyuan. He was upset that he was too tired and forgot to call home. But Su Liang said:
"Secretary Jin called me and said you have work to do and won't be back in the next two days."
Jian Luo was very grateful to Secretary Jin.
In fact, the military is pretty good, except for Lu Shifeng who is cannibalistic.
"Luoluo!"
A voice calling him came from the yard.
Jian Luo came out of the house: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Su Liang turned around with the letter still in his hand and said to Jian Luo, "This seems to be Yuese's acceptance letter. It roughly means that you seem to have passed their professional assessment and can officially work at Yuese."
Jian Luo was delighted: "Really?!"
Su Liang smiled and nodded: "It can't be wrong."
"Great." Jian Luo came over and took the letter: "Did they say how much the monthly salary is?"
“…”
Su Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mom hasn't seen it yet."
Jian Luo went back with the letter by himself. Ever since he resigned from the military, he had been free. Lu Shifeng never contacted him again, and he was busy taking care of his health. He felt so deprived.
After reading Yue Se's salary while sitting on the sofa, Jian Luo was very satisfied with it. The key point was that the letter ended with the following words:
【The qualifications of the trainer have been reviewed】
Jian Luo smiled, which meant that he might soon have the right to grow vegetables and fruits on his own!
Outside
My younger brother and Su Liang were sitting on the sofa outside, watching the news on TV.
The Dark Star Station inside was reporting: "Dragon Valley's Holy Dragon Fruit production has increased. After research, the marketing department has decided to fully open up Holy Dragon Fruit for purchase. The High Priest has also predicted that this year may break the Dark Star's thousand-year curse of no cubs. The blooming of the Holy Dragon Fruit trees is the best sign."
My younger brother was very confused: "Mom, is the holy dragon fruit so delicious?"
"It seems only pregnant women find it delicious." Su Liang had also heard this: "Most people don't like the taste. Even though it's produced on Dark Star, since the people there don't have children, those who aren't pregnant would find the Holy Dragon Fruit unbearably sour and astringent. So it's basically a foreign fruit, meant for pregnant ladies. We locals can't really get it. Besides, who would want to eat it? It's expensive and tastes terrible."
The younger brother nodded, not quite understanding.
Just as she nodded, Jian Luo opened the door and walked out: "Mom, I just bought two boxes of Holy Dragon Fruit online. Did you receive the bill?"
“…”
The room suddenly fell silent
