Work Prophet

The Resistance Army achieved an unprecedented victory, and not only did Miss Rabbit reap a great harvest, but other nobles involved in the war were also busy counting their spoils of war.

Besides captives, there were many pieces of armor and weapons, horses, and food, and after consulting everyone's opinions, the Lady decided to send these people and goods back to Green Field first.

However, everyone knew that the war was far from over.

This time, the Wing Tribe's invasion of the west came fiercely, and they had already occupied most of the western lands, forcing many lords to abandon their territories and concentrate their limited forces together.

Now they had only defeated Tristan and his army, successfully defending Green Field, and according to the previous alliance, Miss Rabbit still had to help other lords reclaim their lands.

So many more battles were waiting for them, but for now, the morale of the Resistance Army had changed dramatically from before.

In this battle, they shattered the undefeated myth of the Wing Tribe on the Bratis Continent and defeated their allies on the land. At the same time, the Wing Tribe had also incurred terrible Divine Punishment for angering Saturday.

According to Prophet Merlin, eventually, perhaps less than one-tenth would survive.

Their time for retaliation had come.

......

After getting off work, Li Yu took a shower in the company's shower room. As a Divine Officer, he would normally not be on the front lines.

But this time was different. Worrying that the White Queen couldn't handle the Azure Dragon and the three hundred Wing Clan Warriors' assault, Li Yu set up an ambush with the Firearms Team.

Then, he personally acted as bait, luckily without any mishaps, and the result turned out to be satisfactory.

After his shower, Li Yu came out to find that everyone else in the company had already left, but there was still someone sitting on the couch around the corner, flipping through a photography magazine somewhat absent-mindedly.

Seeing the visitor, Li Yu was a bit surprised, "Why did you come over today?"

"Hai Ge said there is a play for me to act in, so I came over after school," An Yixin put down the magazine in her hand and said.

Li Yu nodded, "How have you been at school recently? Have those people been bothering you?"

An Yixin shook her head, "Thanks to your help last time, Zhang Jingyi and the rest now avoid me from a distance. It's just that lately there have been some rumors, saying that I'm actually a witch."

"A witch?"

"It doesn't matter, this way I actually enjoy the peace, and I don't have to pretend to fit in on normal days. Oh, right..."

While talking, An Yixin opened her school bag and pulled out a gift box, "This is for you."

Li Yu took the gift box, opened it, and found inside a flip-top leather wallet with a brand name, andrea cardone.

"I saw that your wallet was peeling last time, so I bought you a new one," An Yixin added.

Li Yu asked, "How much was this wallet?"

"Not too expensive, just over four hundred."

"Where did you get the money?"

"Don't look at me like that. I've already said I wouldn't steal anymore. This is the salary I earned acting in short dramas here at your place, absolutely clean."

"Then why didn't you keep it for yourself?"

"Because you helped me, I also wanted to repay you."

Li Yu thought for a while then accepted the wallet, "Then just this once, not to be repeated. Come on, I'll drive you home."

"Okay." An Yixin packed her bag and followed Li Yu to the parking lot.

Once Li Yu had started the car, An Yixin sitting in the passenger seat suddenly asked, "Do you have a girlfriend, Uncle?"

"Why do you ask?" Li Yu glanced at An Yixin in the passenger seat.

She replied calmly, "No reason, just making conversation. Otherwise, it would be pretty awkward if neither of us spoke on the way home."

"Yeah," Li Yu said, "buckle your seat belt."

"Is it that Miss Zhang?" An Yixin asked as she clicked her seatbelt into the buckle.

"No."

"Then it must be someone from outside the company. What does she do, and how did you meet her, Uncle?"

"You sure have a lot of questions." Li Yu backed the car out of the parking space and after a moment said, "In a way, she's probably also considered upper management in the company. We met through work."

"I see." An Yixin looked down, fiddling with the dashboard in front of her.

Since the new company wasn't far from the apartment complex where Li Yu stayed, they arrived quickly and didn't talk much afterward.

Li Yu dropped An Yixin off at the entrance to the apartment complex and told her, "Go back and concentrate on your homework."

After he finished, he parked the car in a nearby pay-to-park lot.

When he got home, Li Yu was surprised to find the living room light on and the sound of cooking coming from the kitchen.

Li Yu set down his briefcase and slid open the kitchen door to find his roommate Wang Guowei streaming a video on Bilibili while following along with a cooking tutorial.

"Why are you back so early today, and even in the mood to cook?"

Li Yu peeked into the pot and saw that Wang Guowei was preparing braised beef spine.

"Don't disturb me just now. Where was I?"

Wang Guowei held the spatula and fell into deep thought.

"Sugar and soy sauce?"

"I added those already."

"What about bean paste…"

"Right, bean paste. Where did you put the bean paste you bought before?"

"I used it up the day before yesterday. I haven't had time to restock. Just make do with some soybean paste for now, and if you want it spicy, add some hot sauce. Also, remember to add warm water when you add water later," Li Yu reminded.

"Oh, oh, I know. You go sit down; I'll handle the cooking today," Wang Guowei said, wielding his spatula to shoo Li Yu away.

Li Yu left the kitchen, thinking that Wang Guowei's beef spine needed to stew a while longer, so he took the chance to exercise in the gym.

After showering and returning home, Wang Guowei had just about finished cooking and was serving the dishes onto the table.

Li Yu went over to lend a hand, grabbing a bowl and chopsticks and scooping some rice.

Using an oven mitt, Wang Guowei brought over the final dish of beef spine, carrying both the dish and the pot, and after wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said to Li Yu, "Try my cooking."

"I didn't know you could cook."

"In the internet era, all you need is to follow a tutorial; what's so hard about that? It's just that I don't usually have the time." Wang Guowei took off his mitt and sat down opposite Li Yu.

Li Yu took a piece of beef spine, took a bite, and commented, "The sweet and salty flavor is quite good, but the meat is a bit undercooked. It would be better if it were more tender, but for a beginner, this is already impressive."

"Right?" Wang Guowei seemed in good spirits as he also grabbed a piece and started chewing.

"You still haven't told me what brought on the sudden urge to cook."

"Because I've resigned," said Wang Guowei, leaning back with his legs crossed.

"Do you know what the best period in a job is? It's between the time you submit your resignation and when you officially leave.

"They still pay your salary, but you no longer have to put up with those assholes and coworkers you couldn't stand before, and the moment the clock hits, I'm out of there, not a second later. This feeling is just freaking awesome."
