Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 609 - 37: The Victor Is Justice_2

```

"Just tell her that you are now the master of Baichuan City, and then steer the conversation to food. Remember, just talk about food. There's no need to discuss anything else."

Li Xiaoyu seemed to catch on to something as she said:

"This deer is good at cooking?"

"Yes."

"But even if it can understand what I'm saying, I don't understand deer language."

"Then bring Tang Gazi... no, don't bring Tang Gazi either."

"Why not?"

"If you don't understand, then just don't understand. Just keep asking questions without needing answers, and then just let loose with your culinary skills in front of her."

"But... wouldn't that be hurting someone?" Li Xiaoyu felt a bit embarrassed. She actually knew her own cooking level.

"If all the chefs in the world thought they were hurting people before they improved their cooking skills, there would be no way to make progress in the culinary arts."

"Why bring Tang Suoye?"

"On one hand, to protect you, and on the other, I'm taking one of the two foodies with me, so only she will be left."

Li Xiaoyu instantly understood, thinking fortunately Tang Suoye didn't hear this.

Tang Xian thought that Tang Suoye, like Tang Xiaojiu, was the type who, even if they complained about the food not tasting good, would still eat a lot. They are the most suitable candidates for practicing one's cooking skills.

"So what exactly is the situation?"

"Nothing much, just to improve your diet a bit. If that deer gets so frustrated by your clumsy cooking that it turns into a human form, remember to let Akasi notify me from the mining area."

Tang Xian also thought of this on the spot, maybe Li Xiaoyu's nature would hit it off with the white deer?

One protects Baichuan City from behind the scenes, the other administers it openly.

Especially a female chef who is still learning and has much to improve in all aspects of cooking.

In a situation where they don't share a language, Li Xiaoyu also can't hear demoralizing words like "what does it have to do with you or with me."

Tang Xian thought it was brilliant and looked forward to hearing some good news when he returned from the mining area.

Li Xiaoyu quietly took note of Tang Xian's requests. Although she found them strange, seeing Tang Xian's expectant look made her think it must be an interesting affair.

After parting with Li Xiaoyu, Tang Xian went to find Zhong Xiuxiu. It wasn't for anything in particular, Xiuxiu lived close to Xiaoyu, but that was about it.

It wasn't that Xiaoyu was unfriendly to Xiuxiu, but that the lives of two scientists were extremely dull.

Zhong Xiuxiu was someone who liked to live life according to routines.

For example, she would wake up at 6:20 a.m. without deviating more than thirty seconds.

She would invariably finish washing up and getting ready before 6:40 a.m.

Not just with time, but also with measurements, she was equally precise, strictly controlling the specifications, net weight, and temperature of her daily nutritional meals.

Naturally, such a girl would be considered an oddity, but fortunately, Shang Lu really liked this approach.

Tang Xian just looked from a distance, watching Shang Lu studying plants in the yard and Xiuxiu dissecting a frog.

People accustomed to living by strict routines typically don't like surprises.

So Tang Xian didn't go over to say anything, as there was no need for another farewell since he was leaving early the next morning.

...

...

Ju Mang's efficiency was astonishing. By the following morning, he had listed all the detailed information on several hundred species, the Evolution Zone as well as the undisclosed results of Origin and the Eye of Nature without any omission.

Tang Xian had no doubt about Ju Mang's concealment, because intelligent people are clear that once a chain of interests is formed, it's pointless to outsmart each other.

The most critical thing is that those who hold this knowledge will always be able to grasp even more of it.

Carrying a backpack, Tang Xiaojiu looked listless. Yuan Wu worried he might slow others down; he didn't quite understand why Tang Xian had brought him along.

He also had no idea what adventures awaited him in the mining area.

He was quite nervous, hoping he wouldn't really hold Tang Xian and Tang Xiaojiu back.

At the moment of departure, Xiaoyu still appeared quite calm, slowly straightening out Tang Xian's clothes.

She remembered what Qiao Shanshan had said, when a cat rubs its owner's face with its head, it releases pheromones, making the cat feel exceptionally comfortable. By analogy, in human behavior, this would be like straightening the collar of a beloved person before parting.

Farewells are bitter, but seeing that Tang Xian didn't resist, Xiaoyu also felt sweet.

However, Tang Xian didn't know these subtleties, and Xiaoyu was aware that he didn't.

She knew the reason Tang Xian was heading to the mining area was because the enemy was too strong, and he needed to improve himself. After thinking for a long time, she said:

"I don't like saying goodbye as if it were life or death. I hope you're just going on a long trip and that you'll come back, and then there won't be anything in this world that makes you need to leave your beloved place for a very long time."

Tang Xian remembered the words he had shared with Bai Mansheng before. Instead of hoping to live and die together with her, better to hope for unbeatable strength.

Xiaoyu wasn't there at the time, but often this little "idiot's" mind was on the same frequency as his.

Tang Xian nodded, but that was his nature all along—the heavier the atmosphere of departure became, the more indifferent he seemed.

Qing JiuYu still remembered the first time she parted from Tang Xian, and how calm he appeared. It was the same this time.

Tang Xian gave a faint response and was ready to leave.

But then he saw a fleeting look of disappointment in Xiaoyu's eyes, hesitated for a moment, and thought this nonchalance wasn't appropriate.

So, in front of everyone, he embraced Xiaoyu. She was very petite, her head just reaching Tang Xian's chest.
