Chapter 157 An Unexpected Assistant Selection

Director Yi showed Xu Ying the names on the list: "You can choose one of the animal rescuers currently helping out at the rescue station headquarters to be your assistant."

In the desert region, animal rescuers whose rescue stations are close to headquarters are the first choice for headquarters to dispatch manpower.

Moreover, these animal rescuers have a hidden perk: they can drive for a few tens of minutes to the headquarters canteen for a free meal to improve their diet.

"Who do you want to help you with?"

Xu Ying's gaze swept across the list of names, finally landing on the name "Liu Kai": "Director Yi! I want Liu Kai to be my assistant!"

Xu Ying's choice surprised Director Yi.

He clearly remembered that the two of them had never gotten along from the beginning, and Liu Kai had a lot of opinions about Xu Ying. Their bet on Ling Yu's competition had also caused quite a stir in the colleagues' group.

Director Yi's surprise was obvious: "I thought you would choose Zhuo Yi and the others."

If she were to choose a partner or collaborator, Xu Ying would definitely choose someone with whom she has a good relationship and a tacit understanding.

But we're choosing an assistant now!

Isn't an assistant just someone who follows her orders?

That means choosing subordinates who will do the dirty and hard work!

How could Xu Ying bear to harm those kind-hearted animal rescuers!

Animal rescuers like these should definitely be reserved for small animals!
Such a great opportunity, of course, is to take it upon herself to deal with the colleague who has been targeting her and to reorganize the workplace.

Xu Ying smiled slightly, her large, dark eyes gleaming with cunning.

She cleared her throat: "I think there's been some misunderstanding between Comrade Liu Kai and me. I want to clear things up and ease the tension between colleagues, so I specifically chose him this time."

Xu Ying spoke earnestly, her eyes revealing a desire and sincerity to ease tensions with her colleagues: "We all work in the same desert, we are one big family, and I don't want to have any major conflicts with my comrades who are fighting alongside me."

His words were righteous and awe-inspiring, demonstrating a remarkable sense of vision.

Director Yi was very surprised to hear Xu Ying's words: "Good child, you are so sensible."

"On the other hand, Liu Kai, who is three years older than you, has not made any progress in all these years of working in the desert. He just daydreams all day long."

Director Yi shook his head: "I'll inform him right away. He'll pack his things and leave with you after lunch today."

Fearing that Xu Ying might be bullied by the elderly at the shelter again, he added, "I will earnestly remind him to cooperate with your work unconditionally!"

Xu Ying flashed a big smile: "Okay, Director Yi, thank you for your help!"

After seeing Director Yi off, Xu Ying's smile grew wider and wider. Hehe, now he could command his underlings at will!

"what?!"

"I'll be Xu Ying's assistant?"

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Liu Kai's surprised scream nearly lifted the roof off the cafeteria after hearing Director Yi's announcement.

Liu Kai, who used to be in the public eye, seized the opportunity to show off.

But these past few days have been eerily quiet.

After Ling Yu broke the world record in the competition.

He didn't post on WeChat Moments or appear in any work groups, avoiding contact with many people. Every time he came to headquarters to report for duty, he did so furtively.

Liu Kai, who used to be the most enthusiastic about eating, would even eat at off-peak times in the cafeteria and eat the leftovers.

Same today.

Because Aunt Bao in the cafeteria had a bad impression of Liu Kai, he didn't get extra food even though he arrived late.

As Liu Kai rummaged through his bowl of vegetables, wondering when this period of secrecy would finally end, Director Yi delivered an even heavier blow.

With trembling, angry hands, Liu Kai made a voice call to Director Yi: "Director Yi, can I refuse this job assignment?"

"Do you have any legitimate reason to refuse?" Director Yi retorted to Liu Kai with a single sentence.

"If you don't perform well this time, I'll transfer you to the newly opened rescue station on the edge of the desert."

Liu Kai felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing those words.

What?! He's being exiled for poor performance?!
Good heavens! Is this Xu Ying poisonous?
After the meal, Liu Kai reluctantly carried his bag and went to report to Xu Ying.

Because he ate dinner late, Liu Kai's lunch break was squeezed out.

"Xu Ying, why did you choose me?"

Liu Kai gritted his teeth.

He suddenly had a disgusting idea for Xu Ying.

"You made a bet with me and even chose me as your assistant, do you have feelings for me?"

Liu Kai grinned crookedly, licking his teeth with his tongue, revealing what he considered to be the greasiest expression.

Xu Ying looked at Liu Kai expressionlessly: "I don't think you're a smart person. Why don't you eat some rat poison? If you die, it'll prove you're a rat."

"You still owe me two thousand trees, don't forget."

"Now all the staff in the desert rescue area know that until you achieve your goal, everyone will remind you of something when they see you."

Liu Kai's expression immediately deflated, like a balloon that had been pricked with a needle.

Xu Ying smiled kindly and politely: "If you think I'm interested in you, then fine. I'll choose you for any job from now on. I also look forward to having you in front of me all the time."

Xu Ying patted his sand motorcycle.

"Aren't you eyeing my motorcycle? Go for it! What are you waiting for, Assistant Liu?"

When Liu Kai saw Xu Ying's car, he felt a little better. At least he could ride in a car instead of having to drive his motorcycle himself!

However, Xu Ying's next words made him stop in his tracks as he was getting into the car.

"I might drive fast because I'm in a hurry, and the road will be very bumpy."

"You vomited five hundred on the car."

"Cleaning fee".

"I'll just ride my own motorcycle."

Liu Kai silently withdrew his foot, which was about to get into the car.

Xu Ying's motorcycle driving skills are so good that everyone at the rescue station headquarters knows it.

Xu Ying had many ways to mess with him. If he sat on it, he felt like his brains would be shaken up like a lemon tea.

endure.

Anyway, the investigation at Crescent Oasis will only take a day or two.

In order to avoid being sent to a new rescue station on the edge of the desert, I just need to endure this day or two.

Filled with resentment, Liu Kai followed Xu Ying on his little motorcycle.

Rushing to investigate Crescent Oasis, Xu Ying didn't have time to bother Liu Kai on the way.

After driving for almost two hours through the desert following the navigation, Xu Ying and his companion arrived near the Crescent Oasis.

Seeing that the map showed that they would pass Crescent Lake, a seasonal lake in Crescent Oasis, after driving another 2 kilometers, Xu Ying said to Liu Kai, "Wait a minute, let's stop near Crescent Lake."

Lakes are a huge attraction for small animals in the desert, and she might be able to find a few animal volunteers willing to donate blood.
