Wu Fu saw everyone's actions and couldn't sit still in his high chair anymore. He became anxious and cried to get down.
Xia Chujian understood what he meant and picked him up, saying, "Wu Fu, you don't need to give me anything. As long as you're good, and I see your smiling face when I video chat with Aunt every day, I'll be very satisfied."
Wu Fu looked at her with a wronged expression, looking unhappy, which made Xia Chujian want to take out the Feifei Worry-Relieving Fur Zhu Yingying gave her and try it on Wu Fu...
However, Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying were both watching, and Xia Chujian was too embarrassed to do it in front of them.
Wu Fu pouted, but in the end, he listened to Xia Chujian and didn't look for any souvenirs. Instead, he leaned on Xia Chujian's shoulder and rubbed his face against hers.
His little hand wrapped around her neck and accidentally touched Xia Chujian's Other Shore Flower Necklace.
Xia Chujian was startled and quickly said, "Wu Fu, this isn't a toy."
Wu Fu looked at it curiously, nodded his chubby little head, and said, "Pretty!"
"Yes, it's very pretty." Xia Chujian said with a smile, "It's my lucky charm!"
As they were talking, it was already nine o'clock.
Meng Guanghui's Flying Vehicle landed on her family's helipad on time.
Xia Chujian, carrying her tactical backpack, hurried outside.
Just as she was about to get on the Flying Vehicle, San Zong and Si Xi came over.
San Zong handed Xia Chujian a small plastic bag containing several fresh Blood Kirins.
Si Xi also held a plastic bag in his mouth, containing a complete Kong Sang.
Xia Chujian looked at San Zong in surprise.
San Zong whispered, "...They all survived. It's a bumper harvest this year. Even Si Xi's treasures have grown two more!"
Out of a million Blood Kirins, only one has a Kong Sang growing alongside it.
And the Blood Kirin only produces ten plants a year, so it would take 100,000 years to grow a Kong Sang.
But San Zong said that the Kong Sang, which takes 100,000 years to grow, had grown two more this year...
Xia Chujian felt complicated. She looked at San Zong, then at the Small Dog Si Xi jumping on the ground, bent down to pick up Si Xi, rubbed her face against its little head, and said, "San Zong, take care of Si Xi. You take care too."
She looked at San Zong and suddenly realized that San Zong seemed a little different.
"San Zong, have you grown taller?"
She remembered that San Zong was not even up to her shoulder, at most 1.6 meters tall. Now, he was probably 1.65 to 1.67 meters tall? San Zong put his hands behind his back, his fingers fidgeting nervously, and said with an embarrassed smile, "Young Lord, San Zong is only twenty years old, I'm still growing!"
Xia Chujian felt even more complicated. San Zong even had an age...
She seemed to have never thought about this question before.
Xia Chujian felt even more guilty and said in a low voice, "San Zong, take care."
She turned and entered Meng Guanghui's Flying Vehicle.
Meng Guanghui didn't say anything, he started the Flying Vehicle directly. With a whoosh, the Flying Vehicle went straight into the sky, and the gust of wind almost blew the Small Dog Si Xi away.
San Zong quickly grabbed it and turned to avoid the swirling airflow generated by the Flying Vehicle taking off.
Xia Chujian sat in the Flying Vehicle, watching the familiar Manor getting farther and farther away, and felt a strange sense of sadness at parting.
Meng Guanghui then said, "What's wrong? Homesick already?"
When Xia Chujian was in a bad mood, she liked to argue with people, and she was particularly confident: "Is it wrong to be homesick? This is the first time I've been away from home for so long. Chief, do we have to abandon our families once we enter the Special Security Bureau?"
Meng Guanghui frowned: "How are you talking to your Chief? With that tone, I'll put you in solitary confinement right away, you know!"
Xia Chujian said sullenly, "Put me in solitary confinement then, who's afraid of who?"
Meng Guanghui bared his teeth, thinking that with this attitude, going to the Kanli Star Flying Base for special training would really result in solitary confinement!
If he didn't show her how tough it was, she wouldn't know why the Exotic Beast Forest Land of the Far North was so cold!
...
Meng Guanghui was driving a Special Security Bureau exclusive Combat Aircraft. Ten minutes later, they arrived at Sky Harbor, the interstellar Terminal built in the air on Guiyuan Star.
"Put on your mask and come down with me."
Xia Chujian silently put on her mask.
Meng Guanghui and Xia Chujian came down together, and a Special Security Bureau staff member who had been waiting there stepped forward and saluted, "Reporting to the Chief, these are your and your new colleague's credentials. The departure procedures have been completed."
Meng Guanghui nodded, took the credential package, and handed the Flying Vehicle's key card to the staff member, "Okay, we're boarding the starship. Xiao Feng, you drive the Flying Vehicle back."
"Yes, Chief." Xiao Feng saluted again.
Xia Chujian secretly sized him up, so this was one of Meng Guanghui's secretaries, Xiao Feng.
He was a very capable young man, and quite handsome, a little shorter than Meng Guanghui, but still very tall.
Xia Chujian was herself 1.75 meters tall, but this Xiao Feng was still a few centimeters taller than her.
Xia Chujian also nodded to Xiao Feng and strode to catch up with Meng Guanghui.
She discovered that Meng Guanghui didn't have to go through the normal channel, but instead took a special exclusive channel. She didn't even have to take off her mask, and the security personnel let her through.
Xia Chujian's mood became even more complicated.
However, this complicated mood immediately dissipated when she followed Meng Guanghui onto the starship and into the first-class cabin.
She excitedly circled around the spacious suite, saying, "Chief, I didn't expect there to be suites on a starship!"
This suite was about six square meters in size, with two particularly comfortable soft seats, said to be high-tech products that conformed to ergonomics.
A round table was placed between the two seats, with some drinks and snacks scattered on it.
Opposite the soft seats was a dark green display screen, taking up half the wall.
This small suite also had a small bathroom.
The bathroom was just big enough for one person to shower and wash up.
The kitchen was in the area to the left of the soft seats, against the wall. A long table was placed there, with an electric stove, a frying pan, and a stew pot on it.
Above the electric stove on the wall was a device similar to a range hood.
Below the long table was a very small refrigerator, which was empty, probably for passengers to put things in.
At the other end of the long table was a corner sofa, with a low coffee table in front of it.
On the wall opposite the sofa was a large curved display screen, which could play TV shows or movies.
It was like a small one-bedroom apartment.
Xia Chujian said in surprise, "This place is even bigger than the storage room I rented on the first floor of my house back then!"
Meng Guanghui was puzzled, "Why did you rent a storage room on the first floor?"
Xia Chujian said nonchalantly, "I was poor. I sold the house to pay for Aunt's medical expenses, so I had to rent someone else's storage room and lived there for three years."
Meng Guanghui was very surprised, and a feeling of sympathy for Xia Chujian arose in him. He quickly said, "That won't happen again. Our Special Security Bureau has medical insurance and employee dormitories. No matter how bad the conditions are, we won't let you live in a storage room."
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "Thank you, Chief. I will do this job well!"
Meng Guanghui nodded and said, "This starship can perform space jumps, but the distance of each jump is not very far. It will take a total of six jumps, a total of eighteen hours, to reach Kanli Star. You can rest first. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? You can order, the Bureau will reimburse you."
As soon as Xia Chujian heard about reimbursement, she immediately said, "I'm hungry. Is there a menu here?"
Meng Guanghui clicked on the room's controller, and the menu appeared on the curved display screen.
Xia Chujian looked through it one by one, and said with great interest, "They even have noodles here? Then I'll have a bowl of shredded pork noodles. What about you, Chief?"
Meng Guanghui said, "I'll have a pan-fried steak. The steak here is very good."
The way he said it meant he had taken this starship more than once.
Xia Chujian looked at the menu and said, "Can I have two servings? A bowl of shredded pork noodles and a pan-fried steak?"
"Of course, but you have to finish it. If there's any left, you'll have to pay for it yourself." Meng Guanghui said without hesitation.
Xia Chujian quickly said, "I'll definitely finish it!"
She saw that in the menu picture, the pan-fried steak was only a small piece, and the bowl of shredded pork noodles was only palm-sized. She could definitely finish it.
But when her shredded pork noodles and pan-fried steak were delivered, Xia Chujian began to doubt her life.
The proportions were wrong! On the menu, the shredded pork noodles didn't look big, and the pan-fried steak looked like less than two ounces.
But now, the bowl in front of her was at least as big as her head, and the noodles and minced meat inside must have weighed half a kilogram! The pan-fried steak was as long as half her arm...
Xia Chujian's heart was bleeding.
She definitely couldn't finish it, and if she couldn't finish it, she would have to pay for it herself.
She had looked at the bill just now. A bowl of shredded pork noodles cost 50 Beichen Coins, and the pan-fried steak cost 150 Beichen Coins.
If she had to pay for both, it would cost half a month's salary for an average family in Mulan City.
Xia Chujian had a headache and glanced at Meng Guanghui, feeling that he was deliberately trying to trick her.
Meng Guanghui was indeed deliberately trying to trick her, wanting to see her angry but unable to speak out.
Xia Chujian suppressed the urge to vomit blood and first picked up a mouthful of shredded pork noodles with her chopsticks.
The noodles were not bad, thin and chewy, but the minced meat was simply unpalatable, like chewing wood chips.
As for the pan-fried steak, Xia Chujian cut off a small piece and tasted it, then spat it out directly.
She said calmly, "Is this food for humans? Can I return it?"
Meng Guanghui said with a smile, "Of course you can't return it, but aren't you being too picky? These things are quite delicious! Look at the price, it's about the same as the most expensive restaurant in Mulan City."
Xia Chujian took a deep breath, thinking that if she kept eating this kind of stuff for eighteen hours, she would probably get airsick...
Her eyes swept around, and she saw the electric stove and frying pan on the long table to the left of the soft seats, and she immediately had an idea.
Xia Chujian stood up and said with a smile, "Chief, can I use the electric stove and frying pan over there to reprocess this bowl of shredded pork noodles and steak?"
"Oh? You can cook?" Meng Guanghui was surprised. "Can you cook it well?"
Xia Chujian said with a smile, "During the three years when my Aunt was seriously ill and hospitalized, I supported myself. If I couldn't cook, I would have starved to death."
This is the second update. There will be a new update at midnight. Reminder for your Recommendation Tickets!
