The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 256 - 255: Seize the Opportunity to Profit from Chaos

Chapter 256: Chapter 255: Seize the Opportunity to Profit from Chaos

Su Zhining walked up to Xu Ying, thinking the seat next to her was empty, only to find a Tibetan Fox with yellowish-brown fur and a square-shaped face occupying it, exuding an air of "Humans these days are so noisy."

"OMG!" Su Zhining’s scream shook the snow off the roof, "What an ugly fox!"

Her cat-eye nails pointed directly at the Tibetan Fox’s face, as if it had been hit by a frying pan, "Did someone sit on this face with their butt?!"

Xu Ying quickly covered the fox’s ears: "Don’t listen, that’s negative criticism!"

The Tibetan Fox lazily flicked its tail, squinting its long eyes to size up Su Zhining, its nose twitching slightly:

[What’s with this reed stick’s taste?]

Su Zhining, being tall and wearing a fluffy short jacket with matching overalls, looked like a reed stick to the fox, given its limited color perception.

[Is this two-legged beast jealous of me sitting next to Little Xu Station Chief and having high online popularity, deliberately trying to put me down?]

Xu Ying tried hard not to laugh, relieved that the Fox Director never got into internal battles.

Xu Ying couldn’t help but explain to the people present, "The Fox Director just has a unique appearance. Its flat square face and large nose are adaptations to the high-altitude low-oxygen environment, with a larger nasal cavity for better breathing."

Su Zhining shook her head, "That face wouldn’t make it in the fox world!"

She then took out her phone and started taking selfies with the Tibetan Fox.

Snap! She posted a picture on Weibo, editing herself to look glamorous, which made the unkempt Fox Director next to her appear even funnier.

However, she captioned it: "Ladies, don’t worry about looks. Even a Tibetan Fox can live off its face."

She also repeated this to the camera, earning her fans’ praises for her "grand perspective."

With the Fox Director in the way, Su Zhining couldn’t sit with Xu Ying in the same frame, so she pouted and looked at the seat next to the Tibetan Fox. She pulled out a disinfectant wipe from her bag: "Good thing I’m prepared."

In the distance, the roar of a turbo engine resounded, and a cobalt blue flash cut through the snow curtain.

A man driving a blue snowmobile sped to the front of the wooden house, shaking its boards with the noise.

The deputy director’s megaphone boomed: "Let’s give a warm welcome to VK team’s ace ADC, three-time champion, and top e-sports celebrity, Lu Jinyu!"

The snowmobile made a sharp drift stop, the snow it kicked up smudging the camera lens.

Lu Jinyu rested one foot on the ground, took off his helmet, his red hair perfectly styled with gel, unchanged. Hanging around his neck was a set of studded headphones.

He patted the hulking customized machine below him, "The latest BRP model, can race even at minus forty degrees."

Lu Jinyu then suddenly turned to look at Xu Ying, "I heard Station Chief Xu has an ATV sand buggy?"

Xu Ying, caught off guard by this sudden mention, nodded blankly, "Yes, I do."

—"What a coincidence."

Lu Jinyu kicked the carbon fiber side guard with the tip of his boot, revealing a nameplate that gleamed coldly, "Mine happens to be twice the price of yours, with the world snowmobile racing championship’s signature."

He dangled the airplane transport tag on the keychain, "Just airlifted this morning from Hai City for the show."

Xu Ying’s eyes lit up: "Oh~ Is it a gift for our Snow Mountain Rescue Station?"

"Our West Mountain Snow Mountain is also planning to set up a large rescue station~"

Lu Jinyu’s cool, handsome expression froze for a second. He chuckled, casually tossed the motorcycle keys to Xu Ying, his tone generous, "During the show’s recording, Little Xu Station Chief can use it at will."

Xu Ying: ...

If it weren’t for the fear of the keys hitting small animals, Xu Ying wouldn’t have bothered catching them. Not gifting it but making such a long speech just to show off his wealth?

Xu Ying’s mouth twitched, an annoyed darkness flashing in her eyes. These young masters and misses love to flaunt their wealth, flashing their money bags in people’s faces. Well, she’d be ungrateful not to take advantage of it.

Lu Jinyu’s fans were already screaming wildly in the live broadcast room.

[Wow, God Lu’s entrance is explosive!]

[The diamond headphones are last year’s National Finals exclusive custom model!]

[Brother Lu’s red hair looks amazing! Even the key-turning move is so cool!]

But many netizens were also speechless, immediately retorted by Lu Jinyu’s fans.

[What’s up with this person, making such a grand introduction of his motorcycle, even mentioning Little Xu Station Chief, I thought he was gifting the bike, but it turns out he was just shaking his money bag for sound effects.]

[What do you know? Our Brother Lu is just like that, and does having money mean you have to donate it? That’s moral coercion!]

Lu Jinyu parked the vehicle and entered the cabin, glancing around the worn walls, his mouth twitching, "Does the program team plan to shoot ’Transfiguration’?"

He casually greeted the people inside: "Hello everyone, I’m e-sports player Lu Jinyu, glad to join the second episode of ’Desert Transformation’, oh no, ’Desert Survival Law’"

Jia Yao’s eyes lit up, getting close: "Wow, Jinyu, is that one of those global limited edition championship headphones?"

Lu Jinyu flashed a professional fake smile, "Oh, you know your stuff, buddy."

He intentionally turned the headphones so the diamond side reflected light into the camera, "But this is our team’s soul and honor, can’t be given away."

Lu Jinyu shrugged slightly with regret, then turned the topic: "I do have a limited edition headset at home I can give you, with my signature on it."

"After the show, send your address to my assistant; I’ll mail it to you."

Lu Jinyu’s lips curled into a playful smirk, his long fingers carelessly unfastening his wristwatch. The black diamond strap reflected cold light in the sun. He purposely swung the watch across the camera in an elegant arc.

"How about wearing this first?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

His voice carried a lazy, teasing timbre, "VK and Chad Miller’s joint model."

Fingertips lightly caressed the finely engraved dial, "Only a bit over eight hundred thousand, just wear it for fun, it’s yours."

Jia Yao’s expression froze, hesitating to reach out, feeling like the guy was shooing away beggars, exuding an air of condescension.

Although Lu Jinyu was wealthier, as a popular male idol, it wasn’t proper for him to beg for things. "No need, no need, I was just amazed by the championship memorabilia."

Jia Yao originally looked forward to fellow male guests appearing, having watched VK team matches, and hoped this episode could turn him and Lu Jinyu into good pals to hype topics together, but now it seemed not worthwhile, his warm face meeting their cold shoulder.

Lu Jinyu raised an eyebrow, leisurely putting the watch back on, the metal clasp clicking softly.

"Oh, that’s how it is, okay then." His tone breezy, a hint of regret, eyes revealing a knowing smile.
