Chapter 314: Chapter 304 Confidential Work

Shitou couldn’t help but find it amusing when he thought about how Master Mi had almost dropped his jaw in shock at the time.

"It is said that he closely guarded the recipe all by himself, in the name of secrecy, and he hadn’t even passed it on to his own son. Apart from the most common herb which was directly harvested to feed the ducks, he personally went to the pharmacies in the city to buy the other herbs, ground them into powder, and secretly mixed them into the feed."

"So apart from Mrs. Mi knowing that something else was mixed into the duck feed, no one else had the slightest clue. Even when cooking the ducks, the powdered herbs were mixed with the seasonings, and he would only prepare roughly the amount needed each time, preferring to dispose of any leftovers rather than keeping them."

"Such secrecy is indeed tight enough. But doesn’t he fear that if something happened to him, the secret recipe would be lost forever?"

After listening, Lu Yun couldn’t help but shake her head, "That day, I thought that since it’s a family secret recipe, Master Mi wouldn’t let others see through it easily, and indeed it is so. I just didn’t expect him to guard it so closely, even to the extent of not revealing anything to his own son. However, it’s fortunate that it was so, otherwise he would have really suffered a huge loss this time. Imagine if Yang Yu and her son really sold their so-called secret recipe, it could have scammed a lot of people. In the end, if she made a dirty run for it, I doubt she herself would end up well. But they deserve it, brought upon by their own doing. And as for those who think about taking advantage without much cost, aiming to buy a secret recipe that’s someone’s livelihood for a small price, they don’t deserve sympathy either."

"That’s very true. And luckily, Master Mi and his family have already decided to sell their house and land and leave, otherwise those who bought a fake recipe might still trouble them."

Shitou, having seen all sorts of people, had a deep understanding of how irrational some people’s thought processes could be, "The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty are revered, actually prevails in human society as well. It just doesn’t seem as apparent in places with a more developed legal system."

"It’s an unavoidable situation, as those who fall behind get beaten down. When dealing with unreasonable people, it’s usually the weaker ones who suffer."

With a sigh, Lu Yun thought about why she had encouraged her parents from the beginning of her life to start their own business, striving to bring their family from the lower strata of society towards the middle and upper levels of the pyramid.

In the end, it was all for the wellbeing of her own children and grandchildren.

Shitou and Lu Yun exchanged their thoughts for a while before Lu Yun said, "That’s why, to avoid unnecessary trouble, the next time Master Mi returns to finalize the paperwork to disown Mi Dahu, remind dad to send a lawyer and bodyguards back with them so they don’t get caught up in the mess all over again."

"That’s a good point, don’t worry, I’ll remember," Shitou nodded and then suddenly changed the subject, "The former logistics director was fired."

"..."

Lu Yun was puzzled for a moment and raised her eyebrows at Shitou, "It hasn’t been long, wasn’t that person just recently transferred here?"

"Didn’t you have a very strong reaction to the meals that day?" Shitou said, smiling meaningfully.

"It can’t be just because of my reaction that day, right? When have my little reactions taken on such importance? I didn’t even specifically mention it to you, did I?" muttered Lu Yun.

"You have been an important figure for a while now. Besides, had it not been for your strong reaction that day, drawing the attention of the higher-ups, it wouldn’t have been so quick and smooth to deal with those people. In the end, that logistics director was just being put out to take the fall..."

While playing with Lu Yun’s black hair, Shitou quietly shared the deep-hidden inside story with her, which was nothing more than a standoff between camps. Lu Yun listened until she felt sleepy. Seeing her lack of interest, Shitou only touched on it lightly and didn’t go on.

"Does that mean, in fact, my every move, every word and action, are reported to Su Qiaoling and Wen Shan?"

Lu Yun had no interest in these camp squabbles, but she couldn’t ignore her own privacy concerns. However, she knew it was futile to ask such a question; it was already clear that expecting to maintain privacy was wishful thinking.

"This is also part of their job, and besides, there are others secretly protecting you as well. Look outside," Shitou nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun immediately quieted her mind, her spiritual power expanding outward to envelop the vicinity, and she quickly discovered three hidden posts in the family compound.

"In such cold weather," she shook her head helplessly, "my own self-protection abilities aren’t bad, you know? It looks like we need to upgrade soon. In the future, we’ll need to create a spiritual power shield for everything, otherwise I’ll have to start worrying now whether they’ll use their spiritual skills on us. Like if someone had seen us just now, would we still be alive? And when entering the space..."

"...How could I forget about this?"

Shitou and Lu Yun stared at each other, both feeling extremely uncomfortable at the thought that someone might have seen them in their earlier state.

"Hehe, don’t you know that in the future world there’s actually a material that can block the surveillance of spiritual power?"

Seeing Shitou’s somewhat dazed expression, Lu Yun couldn’t help but laugh, "That material isn’t hard to find. It can be extracted from common ore, and as long as it’s mixed in the right proportion, it can be used. Later on, you can blend it directly into paint and apply it to walls, or even weave it into fabric to make curtains..."

"That’s good then. Since that’s the case, let’s hurry up and make some. This could also be a great business opportunity." Shitou finally relaxed and couldn’t resist pinching Lu Yun’s nose with a smile, "You’re so naughty."

Knowing how to solve the problem but still scaring people, isn’t that being naughty?

"Didn’t you think of it yourself? Why blame me?"

Lu Yun dodged with a coy laugh, not admitting that she had also just thought of it. Shitou was right; the market for future construction materials with spiritual power insulation held huge potential. Otherwise, privacy would be nonexistent everywhere.

"The day after tomorrow, the furniture and New Year goods that mom and dad prepared for us will be delivered," Shitou remembered to mention.

"Speaking of which, I should start working tomorrow. Wouldn’t it seem too irresponsible to ask for a day off right after that?" Lu Yun asked with a smile.

"You don’t need to take a day off. I’ll have someone move the furniture directly into the house. You can decide how to arrange it when you come back in the evening," Shitou said casually. There was no need for Lu Yun to stay at home, as she wouldn’t be able to help with moving the furniture anyway.

"Let’s sleep now. I’ll take you to work on your first day tomorrow."

"Mm."

The next day, when Lu Yun and Shitou woke up and saw it was still early, they got out of bed, freshened up, and instead of leaving their room, they directly entered the space.

As soon as they entered the space, Mu Pei promptly appeared before them and saluted.

"We’re just coming in for a casual stroll, you go about your business. In the future, unless we call for you, you don’t have to appear before us if there’s nothing important," Lu Yun waved Mu Pei away and said.
