The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 153: Double the Joy

In front of the tablet, the ear fox cubs were excitedly flailing their arms and legs: [Ling Yu is greeting us!]

[He posted our group photo, doesn’t that mean the whole world knows about us now?]

"Yes!" Xu Ying teased the little fox’s nose: "The whole world knows about how cute and amazing you all are!"

At the end of the interview, Ling Yu said to the camera: "I would like to take this opportunity to make an appeal to the entire internet."

"Show more tolerance to the athletes and less malice."

"Cruel words feel like winter in June, and the criticism from all sides throughout the year has made me constantly doubt myself."

"If I hadn’t found my guiding star in the desert this time, I wouldn’t have realized my own tremendous potential, and all kinds of pressures would have made me feel like a failure."

"In reality, I discovered untapped talent within me in the desert! That’s when I firmly believed that I was not defeated. But not every athlete can have the same opportunity as I did."

Ling Yu’s appeal made countless people in front of their screens fall silent.

After the interview, the award ceremony was ready.

The contestant from Dragon Country, Ling Yu, once again broke the world record!

During his two-year low period!

Ling Yu walked to the podium and accepted the champion’s wreath and gold medal.

On the lower-ranked podium on the right side, Mann stood there with the silver medal around his neck, which felt like a heavy shackle.

This once invincible champion now looked awkward, his eyes darting around, deliberately avoiding eye contact with anyone.

This time, Ling Yu’s result was a full 0.1 seconds faster than Mann’s world record.

In a speed competition where even a 0.01-second difference can change rankings, this was unprecedented!

Next time, the person most likely to break a new world record would be Ling Yu himself.

And the commentator for CCTV Sports read the commentary with passionate emotion: "The most glorious day in a person’s life is not the day of achieving fame and fortune."

"But rather the day when the desire to challenge life rises from sighs and despair, and courageously steps forward to meet that challenge."

The commentator watched Ling Yu’s journey to this point, knowing well how difficult it had been for him.

"In life, success is fleeting, but failure is the main theme."

"However, how one faces failure divides people into different kinds. Some will be crushed by failure, while others can keep getting up and moving forward."

Ling Yu, wearing the champion’s wreath, stood on the highest podium, watching the Five-Star Red Flag slowly rise in the center of the stadium.

During such a grand event, breaking the world record, besides the national flag, a record flag with "WR" printed on it also rises, both flags parading together, announcing to the world that the new history was created by a contestant from Dragon Country!

When the national anthem played, Ling Yu could no longer control his emotions.

Hot tears rolled down his cheeks, dripping onto the golden medal on his chest.

In the background, the last words of the commentary echoed: "The wind is silenced, the rain is restrained, and Ling Yu has returned."

Coach Zhuang handed a group photo to Ling Yu at the edge of the field and then disappeared after receiving a call.

After Ling Yu finished receiving the award, it was quite a while before Coach Zhuang returned, his face flushed as if he had been drinking.

Ling Yu placed the medal around Coach Zhuang’s neck, "What’s making you so happy?"

"It’s a great piece of good news!"

Coach Zhuang tightly clutched the gold medal on his neck, every syllable of his excitement floating: "Originally, the animal coach training base plan that I submitted with Little Xu Station Chief had gone into oblivion."

"But just less than ten minutes after the competition ended, the big boss from the sports bureau called me."

Coach Zhuang had the feeling of an old tree blossoming, showing anticipation: "The big boss said the plan has already been put on the agenda, they want to discuss with the desert management area to allocate funds to Rescue Station 032 to build a training base."

"Furthermore, they want to work with the Internet Information Office to launch a clean-up campaign, strictly punishing online violence against athletes."

To suggest this to the big boss of the sports bureau and the Internet Information Office, Coach Zhuang had been mentioning this since Ling Yu’s withdrawal when he was scolded online, but his words had not carried much weight.

Now it seems, achievements provide the confidence to speak, only with achievements can one have the right to speak.

Ling Yu gave a heartfelt smile: "That’s great, Little Xu Station Chief will definitely be very happy!"

Funds flowing into the Desert Rescue Zone means that the living conditions of both people and little animals there can improve.

Xu Ying and Ning Zexi were so caught up in happiness that they hadn’t eaten much of their meal, and it was only after the award ceremony ended that they started eating.

Ning Zexi was gobbling up his food, enjoying it so much that he couldn’t help but praise: "Boss, your cooking skills are really amazing! Did you train from a young age?"

Xu Ying paused, nodded, and continued eating.

These culinary skills were honed over two lifetimes, though many of the recipes did come from the original owner’s memories, whose parents had passed away, and was raised by her aunt and uncle, she was tasked with doing various chores from a young age.

Her aunt and uncle lived in her parents’ house, and their standard for raising her was just enough to keep her from starving, while they pampered their own son and daughter.

For college, the original owner relied on a national student loan for tuition and supported herself for living expenses through part-time work, never spending a dime of her aunt and uncle’s money.

But just before she was about to graduate, her aunt and uncle thought she was capable of working and wanted her to pay them two thousand yuan a month as support, which the original owner refused.

During her second-semester senior year internship in Jiang City, they had relatives in Jiang City cause trouble at her workplace, leading to her dismissal during her internship period.

The original owner realized that staying close to her aunt and uncle would never end their unreasonable demands, and since her exam scores were not enough for a comfortable placement, she made up her mind to apply for a position in the desert.

With food and lodging provided, plus travel expenses reimbursed, it was a particularly suitable choice for someone without much savings and needing to repay student loans.

Xu Ying thought that staying away from toxic relatives was the best decision, but the original owner underestimated the harsh desert environment and the treachery of human nature.

Seeing Xu Ying lost her appetite after complimenting her cooking, Ning Zexi asked curiously: "Why aren’t you eating? Lost your appetite?"

"It’s nothing, just recalling some memories."

The house occupied by her aunt and uncle was an old and small one, but letting them live there freely was too easy on them.

A plan needed to be devised.

While they were eating, the sound of a car approaching from a distance and stopping next to the rescue station was heard.

Ning Zexi set down his chopsticks and curiously looked outside the rescue station, asking: "Did you invite someone else for a meal?"

Xu Ying shook her head, stood up, and opened the door to see what’s happening.

As soon as she opened the door, she found Qi Xiao getting down from the driver’s seat of a truck.
