Chapter 93 Corn Juice

After replying to the message, Jian Ning received 'intelligence' worth two meals' a few seconds later.

"The higher-ups intend to demolish Huayue Villa and what kind of reconstruction project they want to build. They might send someone to negotiate with you in a few days."

Yichen Technology has always had its eye on Huayue Villa. Today, they happened to be having dinner with some government officials, who did them a favor by revealing the news in advance, meaning that Yichen Technology should not consider that place anymore.

Jian Ning was not surprised when she saw the message from Xiao Heqi.

Su Shijian's matter is under investigation. Even without her spiritual energy gathering array, Huayue Manor can be considered a natural spiritual eye, bubbling with spiritual energy, though not much.

Even a small amount of spiritual energy is enough to make the herbs here more effective than those grown elsewhere.

This point has been reached in Su Shih-chien's comparative experiments over the years.

Now that the authorities know about this, they will definitely want to take it over for their own use and secretly develop this place.

However, she wasn't worried.

There's always a way out; worrying beforehand is just unnecessary internal conflict.

Jian Ning replied, "I understand."

She yawned wearily; she had originally planned to practice her new spell.

I was so tired that I put down my phone and went to bed.

the next day.

A renowned top lawyer from Beicheng issued a lawyer's letter stating that, entrusted by Jian Ning, he has collected evidence against users with IDs such as 'Plant Lover' and 'Gaoshan' for spreading rumors, and will use legal means to defend his innocence and rights.

Jian Ning was still asleep when the lawyer's letter was sent.

Later, I was woken up by the vibration of my phone.

She reached for her phone, groggily opened her eyes, glanced at the caller ID—it was Nan Nan calling—and swiped right to answer.

"Hey, Nan Nan."

Hearing her languid voice, Zhang Nan said, "I knew you'd sleep in so late last night, so I waited until noon to call you. I didn't expect..."

Jian Ning chuckled and continued, "I didn't expect that I still wouldn't get up."

Zhang Nan earnestly advised, "Ningning, try not to stay up too late. It's bad for your health. Let me tell you, someone in our crew stayed up all night playing games, and the next day he suddenly fainted. He just collapsed right in front of me, it scared me to death."

Jian Ning rolled over in bed, her eyes still closed, and replied in a slow and unhurried tone, "Okay, I know, my dear Zhang Mama."

Zhang Nan didn't forget the important matter of making the call.

She had seen the lawyer's letter and sent a message to Ningning, but Ningning didn't reply. She deliberately waited until noon to make the call.

She said, "I saw that bastard Gu Yan hiding like a coward. But there are still a lot of doubts online. Fortunately, you've learned your lesson this time and know to hire a lawyer to sue. At least that will make those who dare to spread rumors about you think twice about the consequences."

Jian Ning knew it was a lawyer arranged by Xiao Heqi, and replied, "Mm."

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Nan, while cracking sunflower seeds, asked slowly, "But how do you know Yichen Technology's lawyer? I saw some gossip online saying that this lawyer is Yichen Technology's winning formula, has never lost, and doesn't take outside cases."

Jian Ning slightly opened her eyes, thought for a moment, and realized that to explain clearly, she had to start from the Xie family's recognition of their kinship. So, she simply said, "It's a long story."

Zhang Nan: "Then make it short."

Jian Ning: "Okay, to put it simply, I know someone from Yichen Technology, and he's willing to help me."

“That’s not right.” Zhang Nan uttered two words, “I know everyone around you, how do you know people from Yichen Technology?”

Jian Ning paused for a moment.

Zhang Nan's voice suddenly rose, "Aaaaaah! The sky has fallen! I've only been acting for a short time, and my best friend already has someone else by her side! I didn't even know!"

Jian Ning chuckled and coaxed her gently, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'll tell you slowly when you come back."

Zhang Nan didn't even want to eat sunflower seeds anymore. "I really wish I could sprout a pair of wings right now."

The two chatted for a bit more, and Zhang Nan urged her to get up quickly and make lunch so she wouldn't get a stomachache from hunger.

Jian Ning hung up the phone and got up to wash up.

I went downstairs and made myself a hot and sweet corn juice.

She drank while sighing.

This stuff tastes so much better than coffee; I can't understand why I used to love coffee so much.

When she first moved into the resort, she experienced severe withdrawal symptoms and occasionally had a strong craving for coffee. However, because she was too lazy to make it herself and ordering coffee would incur an extra six yuan delivery fee, she simply gave up and stopped drinking it altogether.

Over time, her coffee addiction subsided. Now, this rich and fragrant corn juice has become her new favorite.

She hummed a light and cheerful tune as she made herself a pot of braised pork ribs, carrots, and corn with rice.

Blanch the pork ribs in advance to remove any unpleasant smell, then add seasonings and simmer for 20 minutes.

Next, pour the ribs and sauce into the rinsed rice, add corn kernels, diced carrots, and fresh green peas.

Green peas must be freshly shelled to be fragrant; frozen green peas won't work, as they won't have the fresh, sweet flavor of beans.

Next, stir it well with a spoon and press the cook button.

Half an hour later, the simple and delicious braised pork ribs rice was ready.

As soon as the rice cooker was opened, a rich aroma wafted out with the steam.

Jian Ning has always preferred spicy food, but she can eat three big bowls of this completely non-spicy braised rice in one meal.

You can imagine how delicious it is.

Jian Ning stirred the rice with a spoon until it was evenly mixed before scooping it into a large rice bowl.

She took a pair of chopsticks and carried the bowl to the yard.

When you eat alone, there aren't as many rules as you might think, and you don't have to eat at the table.

She sat under the eaves, holding a large rice bowl, stretching her legs out into the sunlight.

The weather has been fluctuating lately, sometimes a bit chilly. On these rare sunny days, the sun doesn't feel scorching like in summer; it's quite comfortable.

She held the bowl and began to eat heartily.

The little Border Collie lay down next to Jian Ning's chair, occasionally raising its little head to look at the ribs she was holding with her chopsticks.

The fur around the dog's mouth was unknowingly stained with glistening saliva.

Saliva dripped down its fur, forming a long, silvery thread that fell to the ground.

Why isn't the owner looking at it!
The little Border Collie was getting impatient. It deliberately raised its head to look ahead, then wagged its tail and slapped it against the chair where its owner was sitting.

Jian Ning finally lowered her head, and the little Border Collie took the opportunity to turn its head to look at its owner, drool still dripping from the corner of its mouth.

That's a pretty clear hint, isn't it?

Jian Ning knew exactly what the puppy was thinking, and said, "This won't do, it's too salty. I'll buy some spare ribs tomorrow, a lot of them, and boil them in plain water for you."

"Ow~"

It didn't mean anything; it was just that the greedy Border Collie had never eaten meat and bones before, and it barked angrily.

Jian Ning patted its head.

Teacher Su once taught her that she should be stricter with her spirit beasts, and that spirit beasts should not lose their temper with their masters.

In the cultivation world, there are examples of people who fail to properly discipline their contracted spirit beasts and spoil them, leading to the spirit beasts causing trouble.

Jian Ning thought that she was probably the kind of person in the cultivation world who would spoil spirit beasts.

As long as the issues aren't too outrageous, sometimes spirit beasts have their own personalities. Only by not having their edges smoothed out can they remain true to themselves.

Jian Ning convinced herself.

The little Border Collie whined and whined like a child who hadn't gotten any candy.

Jian Ning coaxed it a couple of times, then picked up its favorite fluorescent ball and tossed it into the grass.

The puppy's mood immediately improved. It happily went to fetch the ball, then obediently ran back and brought it to Jian Ning's side, gazing at her expectantly.

"Woof~" Master, again.

The child is still young, so let's spoil him/her.

Jian Ning resignedly ate her meal while playing ball with the dog.

She had just tossed the ball out again when the doorbell rang.

She didn't make any appointments with anyone today.

I wonder who it is this time.
