Another World Resort: A Management Journey Starting with Food

Chapter 83

Major General An reacted quickly.

That afternoon, he arranged for the candidate to come to Feng Shuyuan.

"Hello, my name is Ji Lu. I have received orders from Major General An to stay by your side from now on. Please take good care of me."

Looking at the spirited young woman before him, Feng Shuyuan was somewhat puzzled:

"Won't we only need someone to protect me after we set off? I won't encounter any danger in my own resort, will I?"

"Major General An said that we need to get to know each other first to avoid any problems with coordination when we're out in the field."

What Ji Lu didn't say was that An Jingsheng's original words were:

"Don't put on airs when you're with her. Boss Feng is a very important person to us. If she's not satisfied with you, I'll consider replacing you."

Doesn't this make me look like a commodity waiting to be sold?

In An Jingsheng's view, soldiers are required to obey their superiors' orders unconditionally, so he did not think there was anything wrong with what he said.

But Ji Lu clearly didn't think that way.

Before she even arrived, she already harbored a little resentment.

However, she didn't show it either.

"Ah, that's it."

Feng Shuyuan could understand this approach, but she was a little uncomfortable with someone always following her around.

Well, you have to get used to it eventually; after all, it was something you promised.

Feng Shuyuan sighed and extended his hand to Ji Lu:

"Then, please take care of me during these days!"

It seems that this Boss Feng is not a willful person.

Ji Lu grasped Feng Shuyuan's hand.

This task doesn't seem as bad as I imagined.

When do we set off?

On the way to dinner with Ji Lu, Feng Shuyuan asked.

"The major general means that if there are no other problems, we will depart the day after tomorrow, but it mainly depends on when you, Mr. Feng, can prepare the goods."

"I see. Let's set off the day after tomorrow then."

Feng Shuyuan estimated the time in his mind.

Let's take the canned food to them tomorrow morning.

"Sister Yuanyuan!"

Upon hearing this voice, Feng Shuyuan knew who he had encountered.

Sure enough, when she turned around, Shan Shanshan and Ding Ning were smiling and waving at her.

"Huh? Who is this?" Ding Ning came to Feng Shuyuan's side and noticed the person she had never seen before.

"This is the person Major General An assigned to protect me; her name is Ji Lu."

The two little ones looked at Ji Lu, and Ji Lu nodded to them in a friendly manner.

"Sister Yuanyuan, where are you going?"

Shan Shanshan was a little curious.

It seemed like she was hearing for the first time that Feng Shuyuan was leaving Anhua.

Feng Shuyuan then repeated what he had said to Major General An to the two of them.

“I see. Going to the border is indeed very dangerous. The pollution there is very serious, especially for someone like you who has been staying in a low-pollution area for a long time. Your body is more likely to react if you go there.”

Shan Shanshan became a little worried upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, someone's protecting me, isn't that right?"

"Yes, I will ensure Boss Feng's safety."

Before coming here, Ji Lu didn't know why Major General An wanted her to protect this person, and even felt that this person who wanted to go to the border without permission was too reckless.

Her being able to protect her here is merely an order.

Now, after hearing the real reason why Feng Shuyuan was going to the border, she suddenly couldn't speak.

If Boss Feng really went to the border for their sake, then it wouldn't be too much for me to risk my life to protect her.

There are very few people left who truly remember the hardships faced by the border troops, but they don't seem to care.

After all, they were only trying to protect their home, not to gain praise or recognition from others.

But in the end, they also need to gain a sense of recognition.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

It can be said that from the moment Feng Shuyuan revealed her purpose for going to the border, in Ji Lu's mind, protecting Feng Shuyuan was no longer a simple matter of a mission.

"With such a reliable older sister by Yuanyuan's side, it seems we can finally rest assured!"

Ding Ning was adept at reading people's expressions, and after realizing Ji Lu's change, she immediately continued to exert her strength.

To her, Feng Shuyuan was also a unique member of her family.

Therefore, she sincerely hoped that Feng Shuyuan could return safely.

"Okay, you guys are exaggerating."

Feng Shuyuan interrupted the conversation with a smile.

"Let's go, I'll treat you all to a meal!"

They naturally came to Huikelou, the restaurant that Feng Shuyuan frequented most.

There's no way around it; there are fewer people here, and the food is delicious. In a time when Anhua restaurants are always packed, it's really hard to resist.

Feng Shuyuan did not prepare a large table of delicious dishes as he would when entertaining others.

It's just a few simple home-style dishes.

After all, she had no idea there would be so many guests before she arrived.

However, she still sent a message to the kitchen and added a few more meat dishes.

Border troops take a lot of strain on their bodies, so they need to eat some meat to replenish their strength!

This was Ji Lu's first time in such a place.

Their team's discipline prevented them from wandering around.

After arriving in Anwar, they only went out to eat twice.

Both times they happened to be during mealtimes, and the restaurants were packed, so they ate at some roadside stalls, which still amazed them.

So she never expected that on her first day in her new job, she would be able to eat at a restaurant that required reservations well in advance.

Ji Lu sat somewhat awkwardly in the chair, trying her best not to let anyone notice her unusual behavior.

She would be a great asset if sent to the battlefield.

But when she was placed in such a leisurely environment, she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you?"

Feng Shuyuan and Shan Shanshan were chatting when Ding Ning noticed Ji Lu's unusual behavior again.

She crept up to me.

"fine……"

Ji Lu didn't want anyone to see her nervousness.

Ding Ning didn't expose him.

She smiled and tried to get close to Ji Lu.

"Sister Ji Lu, what's your training like...?"

Upon hearing a familiar topic, Ji Lu's brow relaxed.

Before long, she started talking, and Ding Ning listened attentively, nodding occasionally in agreement.

But the moment the dishes were served, all the tension and conversation vanished.

Ji Lu's eyes were only on the fragrant dishes.

Feng Shuyuan ordered six dishes.

In addition to my own braised beef brisket with tomatoes, pan-fried tofu, and smashed cucumber, I also had someone stir-fry shredded pork with garlic sauce, black pepper beef cubes, and braised pork ribs.

Seeing the brightly colored and tempting dishes laid out in front of her, Ji Lu could hardly resist the temptation.

Although she had never eaten it before, her body's instincts encouraged and stimulated her.

Feng Shuyuan noticed Ji Lu's underlying anxiety and stopped keeping her in suspense.

After briefly introducing the dishes and how to use the tableware, she went straight to the point:

"Let's begin our meal!"
