The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 257 - 256: Fox Spirits Who Act Cute Have the Best Lives

Chapter 257: Chapter 256: Fox Spirits Who Act Cute Have the Best Lives

Lu Jinyu expected that with Jia Yao’s pride, he wouldn’t accept it, so he gave it away quite generously.

After all, people in the entertainment industry care the most about face, so they can’t accept a gift that seems like charity in front of the camera.

Lu Jinyu casually made a move, and fans went wild.

[Our Brother Lu is really rich and generous, letting Station Chief Xu drive the snowmobile, and gifting an 800,000 watch just like that! This is what a domineering CEO entering reality looks like!]

[Young Master! With a loud boom from the sky, the old servant makes a dazzling entrance!]

[Brother Lu really has team spirit, willing to give away an 800,000 watch rather than the award group’s souvenir. Who’s saying our Brother Lu isn’t committed to e-sports!]

Lu Jinyu furrowed his brows and looked around. The cleanliness obsession of an e-sports player kept him from touching these "antique" wooden benches. He instinctively checked his pocket—it was empty. Tsk, should’ve asked the assistant to bring a pack of disinfectant wipes.

"Here, for you."

A wet wipe with a citrus fragrance was suddenly handed to him. Su Zhining wore a typical elegant smile while her gaze floated towards the filming camera.

Lu Jinyu raised an eyebrow and took the wet wipe, "Thanks."

The live chat exploded instantly.

[Ahhh! Lu Shen touched Zhining’s fingers when taking the wipe!]

[The tsundere young lady X cleanliness-obsessed young master is killing me!]

[The bking e-sports prince X the tsundere diva idol, what a fragrant CP! That eye contact is so sweet and tense!]

Lu Jinyu slowly wiped the bench surface, the smell of disinfectant mixing with citrus in the air. The wet wipe passed over each wooden grain, not missing even the bench’s legs — yet it remained pristine white.

"Looks like the show crew..." Lu Jinyu’s words were left unfinished as a fragrant breeze passed by his side.

Su Zhining gracefully turned and sat directly on the freshly disinfected bench, "Thank you for your service, I’m very satisfied."

The room went silent for three seconds.

Lu Jinyu’s hand remained frozen in mid-air with the wet wipe, as his expression management failed for the first time.

He opened his mouth but ultimately could only squeeze out a puff of air, "You..."

Xu Ying was already enjoying the show from the side. This Su Zhining was even more intriguing than the previous show’s Ming Xueying.

She eagerly anticipated the showdown between these two rich second-generation kids. This way, she wouldn’t have to intervene, and the two would naturally keep each other in check. A magical showdown would be great.

The Tibetan Fox tilted its head: [Fight, fight!]

The fans in the livestream were already fighting.

[No manners!! Our Lu Shen kindly helped her clean the bench!!]

[Some fanbase is blind? Clearly, the prince was showing off first, okay?]

[Haha, seems like the e-sports prince is only fit to spend his life with a keyboard.]

[Isn’t this what the show wants for entertainment effects? Getting angry over such a small matter, how humorless are Lu Jinyu’s fans?]

Yao Yingzhe stepped in to mediate: "Since both guests have arrived, let’s start eating! I’m starving!"

The assistant director saw the show’s effects were spot-on and cheerfully instructed the staff to serve the dishes.

The first dish served by the crew was scallion mushroom beef soup, a large full bowl.

Though it wasn’t presented in the most elegant stainless steel bowl, it certainly had that communal meal vibe. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Xu Ying and Ye Jie were eagerly looking forward to digging in.

Su Zhining’s fingertips hovered over the edge of the enamel bowl for three seconds, showing disdain, "This bowl is so tacky, even my housekeeper wouldn’t use such cheap tableware."

Su Zhining made a call to her assistant, "Hey, Xiao Chen? Bring my celadon lunch box."

"Yes, the one from Christie’s auction."

Five minutes later, the production assistant came rushing in, holding a silk-wrapped purple sandalwood box.

Su Zhining untied the golden silk ribbon with the grace of unwrapping a luxury item, and when the celadon porcelain revealed itself, Ye Jie’s almond eyes widened instantly, "These patterns... Are they hand-carved chrysanthemums?"

She couldn’t help but reach out, though she hesitated before touching it. "It’s like an exhibit in a museum."

"It’s only two hundred thousand." Su Zhining ran her fingers over the porcelain’s raised gold chrysanthemum patterns, "I originally planned to have afternoon tea with it at the top of Snow Mountain."

She deliberately pushed the lunch box towards Lu Jinyu, and the porcelain made a clear sound as it slid across the wooden table.

Lu Jinyu chuckled, "But this porcelain looks really thin, wouldn’t it crack if you use it for soup?"

"My family also bought ten sets of such carved bone china bowls, and once I used it for matsutake soup, it cracked. Now, we only keep them on display."

Su Zhining was taken aback, "Ha, you must’ve bought fakes then."

She glared at Lu Jinyu for spoiling the mood but couldn’t help her concern. She opted to use an enamel bowl for the soup, wiping it inside and out with disinfectant wipes before using it.

Xu Ying held her enamel bowl and was drinking the steaming bone broth heartily.

The steam from the hot soup blurred her eyes and brows but couldn’t hide her satisfied expression.

The Tibetan Fox was drawn by the aroma, nosing around by Xu Ying, trying eagerly to stick its head into her bowl, only to be nudged away by Xu Ying’s elbow: "No, no, this soup has too many seasonings; you can’t drink it."

[Just one sip, one sip won’t hurt!]

Xu Ying refused earnestly, "No, what if you’re allergic to something in the soup?"

The Tibetan Fox, nudged away, persisted in approaching Xu Ying’s bowl, only to be nudged away again.

This back-and-forth repeated, creating a very amusing image.

The sneaky antics of the Tibetan Fox made viewers chuckle.

[Little Xu Station Chief bumping away the fox head makes it look just like my mom not letting me eat snacks hahaha]

[Shocking! It’s too competitive! A nationally protected animal is trying to snatch a grassroots official’s lunch!]

[Oh, you’re so good at writing headlines, you should join the UC shock department.]

[Why is this fox like my dog, so greedy? Is that pancake face because of overeating?]

[Be precise! Our Fox Director is conducting a food safety inspection!]

Once she finished her bowl of soup, Xu Ying had just served herself a second bowl when the Tibetan Fox’s paw placed itself on her knee.

Its narrow fox eyes blinked, and its moist nose was only 0.01 centimeters from her soup bowl.

"Ah, my dear Fox Director..." Xu Ying sighed, setting down her bowl. The spoon clinked crisply against the enamel bowl’s edge, "Director!"

She called out past the camera, "Can you get this big greedy girl a bone broth cooked in plain water? No seasonings."

The stage manager made an OK gesture, and the logistics team got busy right away.

The ears of the Tibetan Fox perked straight up.

"Hear that?" Xu Ying poked its square forehead, "Your special order is on the way, don’t eye mine anymore."

No sooner had her words left her mouth than the Tibetan Fox withdrew its paw, a mysterious smile, seemingly all-knowing, spreading across its face.

The Fox Director’s smile made the viewers lose it.

[Fox Director: How can this not count as a successful ’foxy strategy’?]

[A foxy spirit that’s good at acting cute is the best off~]

The aroma of the bone broth was so enticing that Xu Ying soon drank her bowl dry.

She was wiping her mouth with a napkin when suddenly, with a soft "ding", a shiny object fell at her feet.
