The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 38: Who Got Triggered

On the other end of the phone, Liu Kai, who had previously fantasized about becoming the Qiao family’s son-in-law, was so agitated that his voice broke: "How is it you? How did it come to you?"

Chen Danyan, who dreamed of becoming the president’s wife, was shocked and gritted her teeth: "Xu Ying, how did you get so damn lucky?"

The duo’s loud outburst on the other end of the phone made Xu Ying hold the phone a bit farther from her face with a look of disdain.

She even considered calling Ning Zexi to see the regretful looks on their faces right now.

On the other end of the line, Liu Wenxuan coldly questioned: "Xu Ying, did you find Qiao Yuxi and deliberately not tell us to take all the credit for yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Danyan became even more exasperated: "Alright, alright, I get it now!

"You mocked me back then for wanting to become a president’s wife, yet it turns out you’re the truly cunning one. You’re probably sticking to Qiao Yuxi now, looking for a chance to climb up to President Qiao, aren’t you?"

"Xu Ying, you’re so selfish! If we had gone over to help, Yu Xi would have received better assistance." Liu Kai self-righteously said: "With a guy watching over Yu Xi, she’d feel more secure too."

Xu Ying: ???

Not bros?

You’re already calling her Yu Xi like that?

"Which sewer’s cover wasn’t closed properly to let you crawl out?"

Xu Ying had guessed that the three blockheads would regret not coming to support her, but she didn’t expect their brains to still not dry up under the desert sun.

"I already gave you a heads-up, it’s you who didn’t believe me."

"And I didn’t even see any living person. If I got there and found no one, wouldn’t you accuse me of fooling you?"

Xu Ying retorted unceremoniously.

"After sending you a voice message, I rushed to chase the vulture and then was busy giving emergency aid to Qiao Yuxi, so I had no time to bother with you! Besides, telling you is useless; you’re miles away from me."

"Aren’t you three veterinarians yourself? Looks like a doctor can’t heal themselves!"

Upon finishing her sentence, Xu Ying heard Qiao Yanli beside her chuckle aloud.

Xu Ying widened her eyes; the other’s loud outburst had evidently made Qiao Yanli hear the conversation clearly.

"I’m sorry to have embarrassed you."

Xu Ying quickly covered the receiver: "Stop it, guys!"

How embarrassing!

But fortunately, she’s not the embarrassed one!

——"What? Did we hit too close to home, leaving you angry out of shame..."

Xu Ying was ready to hang up when Qiao Yanli pulled the phone out of her hand and addressed Chen Danyan and the rest who were breaking down on the other end:

"I don’t know what mindset prompted your comments, but please stop slandering Miss Xu."

The moment Qiao Yanli’s voice came through, the other end went silent like a chicken.

"Slandering is illegal. Miss Xu, as our intended partner, is under the legal protection of Comet Technology’s legal team."

Xu Ying’s eyes widened. Intended partner, what is this situation?

"Also, as a patient’s relative, I think Miss Xu’s aid was timely and effective, and she took good care of my niece. I’m very grateful, so you don’t have to worry. Thank you."

"Just focus on your own jobs."

After hanging up, Qiao Yanli returned the phone to Xu Ying.

Holding her phone, Xu Ying felt utterly relieved!

Wow, having someone back you up feels awesome!

She wondered about the reactions of those three blockheads upon hearing Qiao Yanli speak; their expressions must be priceless!

Xu Ying suppressed her smile, apologetically: "I apologize, Mr. Qiao, for embarrassing you."

"No worries."

Qiao Yanli shook his head, and with his long, jade-like fingers, pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose: "They are the ones who should be embarrassed."

At this time, on the other side of the desert management area, Chen Danyan and the other two were dumbfounded, staring at the disconnected phone, faces filled with horror.

Chen Danyan’s face was already flushed a beet red, and it took her a while to find her voice: "The man who took the call just now was... Qiao Yuxi’s uncle, Comet Technology’s CEO, Qiao Yanli?"

Liu Kai swallowed a gulp of air, thoroughly cowardly: "Then he heard everything we just said?"

Ning Zexi reclaimed his phone from Chen Danyan, entirely unconcerned: "He definitely heard it all; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things."

He had shouted loudly on purpose earlier for these three to hear.

The trio had pulled little tricks while he was driving and hid Xu Ying’s plea for help.

Now, it was truly reaping what they’d sowed!

Missing out on a chance to be the savior of the Qiao family’s young miss, aren’t they going to regret it for life?

Even waking up in the middle of the night, they might slap themselves a couple of times.

Moreover, they embarrassed themselves in front of Qiao Yanli!

Satisfying!

Having served as a driver for two days, Ning Zexi felt thoroughly pleased with himself. Seeing the trio’s pale faces, he laughed joyfully: "Alright, now it’s double happiness: the vulture is found, and the person is found; let’s all go back home to our respective mothers."

Back in the car, Ning Zexi shared Xu Ying’s triumphant news with Director Kuang.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Director Kuang had been dozing off, but upon hearing the news, he perked up, shocked: "The two major tasks assigned have both been completed by Xu Ying today?"

If he had been there to supervise, he might have had some credit, but being two hundred kilometers away left him with nothing substantial!

"Got it, let’s head back."

Ning Zexi cheekily asked, knowing full well: "Director Kuang, aren’t you happy that these two troublesome matters have been resolved smoothly?"

"Happy, happy indeed."

"Xiao Xu has achieved so much, there’s no need to write anything."

Kuang Ming forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, robbing him of his usual road trip sermons to young people, leaving him speechless for the entire journey.

In the car with five people, only Ning Zexi cheerfully hummed a tune during the return trip while the usually chatty others became suddenly introverted.

After concluding the vulture matriarch’s check-up, Xu Ying recalled Qiao Yanli’s earlier words, puzzled: "Mr. Qiao, what did you mean earlier by saying I’m an intended partner of your Comet Technology?"

"We at Comet Technology are planning to initiate a public welfare project to plant trees in the desert."

Qiao Yanli pursed his lips: "We wish to appoint Miss Xu as an intermediary to facilitate communication with the authorities."

Xu Ying’s small face showed a moment of astonishment; being entrusted with such a large public welfare project is practically a client bringing in business opportunities!

Qiao Yanli: "Not sure about Miss Xu’s view on this, no need to answer me now; I can wait for a reply."

Xu Ying nodded quickly: "Alright, I will report this to Director Yi and the others!"

The vultures, having had their fill, now had round bellies, their bead-like eyes gleaming at Xu Ying.

[Head Rescuer, where are we going next?]

"To my rescue station."

Xu Ying turned to the large vulture: "Can the vulture matriarch still fly now?"

[My wife says she has strength to fly after eating; I’ll lead her over slowly.]

Seeing Xu Ying interact with the chattering vultures, Qiao Yanli asked, "You can understand what they’re saying?"

Xu Ying gave a slight nod: "Yes, I’m a Beast Language Communication Master, an expert level one."

"Now I’ve become good friends with the vultures!"

Qiao Yanli exchanged a glance with his assistant.

Xu Ying told the vultures which direction to fly: "Let’s all move to the 032 rescue station first! I’ll contact the Raptor Protection Center staff to arrange follow-up."

After speaking, Xu Ying turned to leave. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Qiao Yanli held onto her sleeve: "Where are you going?"
