Second marriage [Zerg]
Chapter 60
When Ning Bai arrived home, Chu An was cooking in the kitchen.
The two smart butlers stood at the door of the kitchen and looked in stupidly, as if they couldn't figure out why a strange male insect appeared to occupy the workplace that originally belonged to them.
The long-lost food aroma wafted into Ning Bai's nostrils, and Ning Bai relaxed all over. He drove the smart housekeeper away, knocked lightly on the kitchen door, and walked in.
"My lord, let me help you."
Chu An heard Ning Bai's voice, stopped what he was doing, and turned his head.
He wanted to ask something, but Ning Bai looked at him eagerly and joyfully, with some ambiguous anxiety hidden in his bright and sincere eyes, Chu An hesitated for a moment, but still pressed what he wanted to say in his heart.
"Dinner is almost ready, take it to the restaurant for me."
"Yes." Ning Bai said obediently.
The Xinju restaurant is spacious, and the decoration is particularly warm and romantic. A small light pink peony is placed in the middle of the dining table, which is very poetic and elegant.
Chu An and Ning Bai sat on both sides of the dining table, eating quietly.
They seemed to be waiting for the other to speak first, but the meal was almost over, and no one broke the silence first.
finally--
Chu An: "Mikas..."
Ning Bai: "Mikas..."
Chu An said: "You speak first."
Ning Bai smiled: "You should talk about it first."
Chu An nodded: "Well, after you went out, Mikas came to see me at home. We chatted for a while."
"I happened to meet him when I was going out." Ning Bai showed a clear smile, "He should come to you to ask about Yiluo's situation."
"you know?"
Ning Bai said: "I am too familiar with that kid. He said that he came to you because he liked your works. I don't believe it at all. How could he like reading books? It must be because you just came back from K12, so he wanted to ask Yi Luo situation, after all, he and Ilo are best friends."
"Indeed, he saw the news of the strike in the mining area and was worried that Ilo would be injured in the strike."
"Yiluo...is he okay?" Ning Bai sighed, "I will solve the problem of his sentence, but it will take a while. Recently, it is just the cusp of the storm, so it is not easy to intervene."
"Ning Bai..."
"Xiong Lord, I know what you want to say," Ning Bai interrupted Chu An, "but I promised Yiluo that I wouldn't let him die. The mining area is too dangerous. Whether it's the working environment or the social environment, I would rather him be A criminal lives lowly to the end of his life, and I don't want him to die in the mine like my father-in-law, or... carrying the banner of resistance to die under the gunfire of the nobles."
Chu An looked into Ning Bai's eyes gently: "I understand your thoughts, but have you asked him what he means?"
"I understand him." Ning Bai said with certainty.
Chu An smiled and shook his head, and pushed Ning Bai a cup of nectar drink: "You have really lost weight recently, eat more. Is the pharmaceutical factory busy?"
Ning Bai paused while holding the cup.
"I remember you said that two scientific research institutions were organized to promote the improvement of psychotropic drugs. Has there been any progress?"
"There are a few..." Ning Bai was vague, looked at Chu An's expression, and then explained further, "Now it will basically not affect the fertility of female insects."
"Very good. When do you plan to disclose the technology?" Chu An asked again.
"..." Ning Bai was silent for a moment, then raised his head to look into Chu An's eyes, "Xiong Lord, now is not the time."
"Hmm." Chu An was noncommittal.
"Master," Ning Bai looked at Chu An's calm expression, and said eagerly, "There may be chaos for a while, can you postpone your travel plan, rest at home first, or write a new novel? How about a sequel to Kissing a Star?"
"Ning Bai, I hope you don't interfere with my work."
"...Yes," Ning Bai lowered his eyes and whispered, "I'm sorry."
After the meal, Chu An ran to the attic to tidy up his studio.
When he bought the house, he mentioned to Ning Bai that he would use the attic of the villa as his own workshop. Ning Bai kept it in mind and bought him a whole new set of office equipment.
Needless to say, bookcases, tables and chairs, and various electronic devices, Ning Bai even made a keyboard for Chu An.
It's not a virtual keyboard with an optical computer, but a mechanical keyboard that Chu An used to use before.
Each key shaft is made by Ning Bai himself, and the keycaps are also polished one by one by him with special materials.
The keyboard is equipped with a psychic force sensing device. When Chu An approaches the keyboard, the lights under the keys will be lit up. With Chu An's movements, a romantic and warm sea of stars will appear on the keyboard.
Ning Bai engraved Chu An's name on the upper left corner of the keyboard, but the strong and beautiful brushstrokes have a lingering and sentimental charm. Chu An used his fingertips to draw the meticulously carved notches, imagining Ning Bai sitting upright. Serious look at the desk.
Ning Bai...
Chu An put down the keyboard, opened the door and went out, but saw Ning Bai standing by the wall.
The attic space is cramped, his tall figure is squeezed between the wall and the ceiling, and his blond hair rubs against the edge of the ceiling, making him look pitiful.
Chu An walked over and took his hand: "Why are you standing here?"
"I'm afraid to disturb you, and I'm afraid you need help..."
Chu An raised his hand to mess up his hair, stared at his twinkling eyes, then pressed the back of his head, and kissed Ning Bai a long kiss.
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."
Ning Bai wiped off the wet marks on the corner of his mouth, and smiled shyly: "As long as you like it..."
Chu An didn't let him finish speaking, and sealed his lips again.
……
The next day, Ning Bai went to work early as usual, Chu An sat at the dining table and had breakfast, and opened the Xingwang forum as in the past.
Today's hottest post on the Zatan version.
"Long time to see you, the males have also organized a protest!"
The text of the post reads: The Commercial Street Chamber of Commerce in Xiacheng District organized a strike today. Almost all the vendors in the commercial street participated.
The comments below are mixed.
"Get out of the headline party, this is a strike on a commercial street, and it's not a male protest."
"I thought it was because the female insect organization was too rampant recently, forcing the male insects to come out and make a sound. Haha, sooner or later there will be such a day."
"The males have to show some face, you have taken all the benefits, so why not be dissatisfied."
"The commercial street in Xiacheng District has been very pushy in recent years..."
"Could it be related to...?"
"Riddle guessing is prohibited on the forum!"
"It's not surprising. There are a lot of mom-and-pop shops over there. It's normal for males to show up to protest. After all, even if they are caught by the police, males will be punished lightly, but females may not be."
"Unless the low-level males are weak and sick, they all have to work, otherwise how can they support their families."
"I heard that there is a new job that is very good recently. Only males can do it. It is easy to make a lot of money. It just needs to check the identity."
"The current taxes and fees are really high. 80.00% of my family's business profits are paid in taxes, and I haven't seen more thieves caught by the police."
"Last time I saw the council's bidding announcement, a municipal lighting project cost tens of billions of coins, tsk tsk, I don't know which dark planet is going to be lit."
Chu An looked at the photos in the post, there were many faces he had seen before.
Male worms in shabby clothes stood at the corner of the commercial street, holding a sign saying "Cut taxes and fees, benefit the people", staring indifferently at the dark sky of the insect star.
"But what's the use of going on strike at the commercial street in Xiacheng District? Isn't Central Street singing and dancing?"
"It's just that the inferior Zerg are making things difficult for each other."
"This kind of thing always has to be picked. Don't the shops on Central Avenue not have these exorbitant taxes? Just wait and see."
After breakfast, Chu An had no taste. He was about to go to the commercial street after packing up the dishes, when a message came from the communicator——
A new letter arrived in the reader's mailbox of his column.
The name of the letter is "Female Self-improvement Association". The wording of the letter is elegant and well-organized, which is completely different from the impressions that Chu An received from miners from all over the world.
It was written in the letter that everyone in the association read Mr. Chu An’s column and was deeply touched and inspired. After learning that Mr. Chu An returned home recently, they wanted to meet and talk with Mr. Chu An. They also wanted to carry out some useful activities. The actions of strength promote the self-reliance and self-improvement of the majority of female insects.
Chu An searched for the name of this club on Starnet, and the first search result was a press release about Ning Bai's participation in the "Female Self-improvement Reading Club".
The president of the association is named Landa, the owner of Alice's dessert shop, a C-level female, she started working as a helper in the cake shop when she was a teenager, and later started from scratch, creating her own dessert shop and brand, following the principle of small but refined, There is only one store in the prime location of Central Avenue.
Recently, under the leadership of Ning Bai, Landa won a voting seat in the parliament through difficult general elections.
He is the first female society leader to receive a formal seat in the Council.Other female groups, large and small, regard his "Female Self-improvement Association" as the greatest example of affirmative action.
Landa, who became a congressman, still maintained his true colors as a pastry chef. Chu An saw that in the news, he was wearing a pastry chef's white work clothes, standing in front of a wide variety of desserts and drinks and smiling at customers.
Chu An thought for a while, and quickly wrote a reply: "I received the letter. I'm free recently. Let's make an appointment for an interview."
……
At the same time, Ning Bai saw Erwin's cousin again in his spacious office.
"Have you considered it?" Ning Bai raised his head from the complicated documents and showed a slight smile to the female official of the Drug Inspection Bureau.
"We held a family meeting specifically for your suggestion," the cousin sat across from Ning Bai's desk, lowering his voice, "We have a basis for cooperation, Admiral Ning Bai, I hope you can forgive my frankness .”
"Of course, I have always been honest with my partners. This is the headquarters building of the Second Army. If I am not honest with you, you may not be able to get out of this door." Ning Bai snorted, "Please tell me, you guys What was the outcome of the meeting?"
The female took a deep breath, calmed down, and then continued, "You want to legalize the psychotropic drugs for females and include them in medical insurance. We can help you with these, but..."
He paused, staring at Ning Bai's expression: "But you want to share the whole set of technology with us, can you?"
"Sharing?" Ning Bai smiled, "You got a full set of technology, and then kicked me away, or even killed me, produced and sold it yourself, and made money from the entire industry chain, so what will I earn? The monopoly position is bought at a high price, and the money in the national medical insurance system cannot fill your wallets, can it?"
"...No, no, that's not what I mean, of course I still want to cooperate with you."
"Do you think I will believe you?" The smile on Ning Bai's face turned cold, "It's getting late, please go back, I have other visitors."
At this time, the intercom phone on the desk rang.
Ning Bai openly connected the phone in front of Erwin's cousin, not afraid that he would hear what was on the phone.
I only heard the report from the guards outside, the general, a son of Wen Sen's family has been waiting in the lounge for a long time.
"Invite him to come in." Ning Bai said, looking at the female sitting opposite him again and again, and sneered, "The young master of Wensen's family likes to drink honey milk tea, go and pour out the black tea and replace it with a new drink."
The phone hung up, and Erwin's cousin stood up in a daze.
"Admiral, please..."
Before he finished speaking, the young master of the Wensen family rushed in from the door.
"Ning Bai, the business we discussed last time..."
Ning Bai made a silent gesture to him, and then politely extended his hand to Erwin's cousin.
"Please, don't send."
The author has something to say:
There is another update today, it may be later.
The two smart butlers stood at the door of the kitchen and looked in stupidly, as if they couldn't figure out why a strange male insect appeared to occupy the workplace that originally belonged to them.
The long-lost food aroma wafted into Ning Bai's nostrils, and Ning Bai relaxed all over. He drove the smart housekeeper away, knocked lightly on the kitchen door, and walked in.
