Chapter 44 You're kidding me! (1/2)



[New Ellido Midday News Report:]

Yesterday, during the preparation for demolition work for the city's most anticipated subway project, Vision Industries was embroiled in a scandal jointly exposed by the NGO "Cunning Rabbit House" and the emerging company "White Rabbit Heavy Industry."

According to both sides, the cunning rabbit house discovered by chance that the residents of Canvas Lane, who were promised to be relocated by Vision Industries, had not been dispersed to various locations as stated. Instead, they were being kept under control by Vision Industries' posing as sheriffs, who even used signal jammers to cut off their contact with the outside world.

[The cunning rabbit's house attempted to save the residents of Canvas Lane, but the deeper they went, the clearer it became that Vision Industries was no match for them. Therefore, after discussion, they chose to seek help from White Heavy Industries.]

Upon learning the details of the incident, Bai Zhi Heavy Industry was enraged. Driven by humanitarian principles, they decided to spare no effort to save the residents of Canvas Lane. They not only joined forces with the Cunning Rabbit House to kill the Dead Man, but also led three giant machines to stop Yuanjing Industry's desperate actions.

Now, please follow our reporter to interview the heroes from Kouto House and Shiroi Heavy Industries.

Victoria Home Services Headquarters, second floor.

Ellen lay listlessly on the sofa with a lollipop in her mouth, even though the TV was on full blast and the volume was high.

She showed no interest in watching and lazily scrolled through her phone.

"Hey, I said..."

Eileen suddenly touched her right earphone and said speechlessly, "Do you really have to listen to the news at this time?"

"What else?"

Soon, Fagga's voice came through the headphones, mixed with the sound of chopping vegetables.

He said into the earpiece, "If you're willing to come down and cook, then I can go upstairs, lie on the sofa, and watch the news."

"...Tsk!"

Eileen thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to refute Fagga's words, and in the end she could only click her tongue and give up.

There's no other reason than that with Fagga around, Ellen didn't want to go downstairs to cook.

After all, I know my own capabilities.

Sigh, let's just maintain the status quo then.

Eileen thought: Occasional sacrifices are necessary for delicious food!

He simply wore headphones and acted as a middleman for Fagga.

On one hand, the TV was blasting loudly, making my ears hurt; on the other hand, the sounds of chopping vegetables and sizzling oil in Fagja were so loud that my mouth was watering!

Both are acceptable!

"Hey, Fagga, I have a question for you."

"uh-huh."

Ailian scrolled through her phone screen, reading comments from netizens in the comment section, and asked expressionlessly, "By the way, why would Baizhi Heavy Industry spend five million to buy reputation from us?"

"They're willing to be suckers, and you're still not happy?"

laugh!

The pork, with its alternating layers of fat and lean meat, was dropped into the pot, covering the seasoned ginger and garlic. Immediately, a wisp of white smoke rose from the pot, and Fagga began to toss and stir-fry it.

"I'm asking you a question, be serious!"

Eileen was immediately unhappy upon hearing this. The stick of the lollipop that was sticking out started to wriggle back and forth, and the candy in her mouth made a series of painful cracking sounds.

"Okay, take a look at the news report. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't it say that the subway project will soon hold another bidding process?"

Fagar sighed, paused in his cooking, and gave a helpless smile before explaining to Ellen.

"Yes, I saw it. And then?"

"In the last bidding process, only Vision Industry and Baizhi Heavy Industry met the requirements. Logically, with Vision Industry's financial troubles, Baizhi Heavy Industry should have simply taken its place. So why reopen the bidding process?"

boom!

Fagga threw the chopped chili peppers and dried tofu into the pot, and flames instantly leaped up and burned directly inside!

The oil was bubbling, mingling with the pork and making a sharp popping sound.

Fagar tossed the wok, sending the pork flying and then falling back down. In that moment, he poured in the fermented broad bean paste and Sichuan peppercorn powder, turning the oil fiery red in an instant. The pork, after a few rolls, gradually became glistening and tempting.

Suddenly, Ellen on the second floor propped herself up, tilted her swan-like neck back and sniffed the air. Just as she was about to lift her leg to go downstairs, she abruptly pulled her legs back and sealed herself onto the sofa.

No, no!

Dinner hasn't started yet!

Be patient a little longer, wait half an hour... no, give Fagga another ten minutes!

"Hmm, have you started cooking yet? Miss Eileen, why are you lying on the sofa hugging your legs and tail?"

Eileen suddenly heard a soft, sweet voice. She turned her head and saw that it was Colleen coming down from the third floor, rubbing her eyes.
