Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 459: Chapter 343: A New Case, Shooting!

Can Yang Ruoxi cook?

Yang Ruoxi can cook, but Yang Ruoxi cannot cook.

Xu Liang showed a hesitant attitude, but still handed the apron to Yang Ruoxi. Su Yu, standing nearby, seemed to realize something, pursed her lips, but didn’t say anything.

"Here, you give it a try, just don’t blow up the kitchen, renovations can be quite expensive."

Xu Liang gave a reminder.

"Don’t underestimate me!"

Yang Ruoxi took a deep breath, tied the apron around her slim waist, and then walked into the kitchen.

"Bam!"

The door closed, and soon there was a flurry of activity coming from the kitchen.

But then....

"Why do I hear the sound of a saw?!"

Wang Feiyu suddenly snapped to attention, completely awake, a look of doubt on his face as he subconsciously looked toward the kitchen.

Is someone using a saw in the kitchen?

Xia Yao was slightly stunned, then timidly said:

"Why is there the sound of a drill as well..."

A drill and a saw?

What exactly is being done in the kitchen?

No one knew, they just found it odd, and only after a long while did the kitchen door finally open.

"Here, breakfast: tomato and scrambled eggs, nutritious and appetizing!"

Yang Ruoxi came out holding a conspicuous bowl of tomato eggs, her face glowing with a triumphant smile.

Everyone quickly craned their necks to look.

The vivid tomatoes and eggs on the plate, emitting an enticing sheen, resembled a work of art.

There were also some scallions sprinkled on top for garnish, but not too much, keeping it looking clean.

This....

"Looks pretty good!"

Wang Feiyu’s face showed surprise, then he looked at Xu Liang, "Director, why don’t you try it?"

Xu Liang paused.

Just from the appearance, the dish could compete in a cooking show, but as for the taste....

He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, then slowly put it in his mouth.

The rich tomato and egg juices were instantly absorbed by his taste buds.

This taste...

Xu Liang paused, then expressionlessly nodded to those around him.

Wang Feiyu quickly picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

He paused, and also nodded to those around him.

Until...

Until everyone finished eating, and Yang Ruoxi took a bite...

"Ugh~!"

Yang Ruoxi’s delicate face instantly scrunched up, sticking her tongue out.

"Why is it so salty!?"

She exclaimed in shock.

Upon hearing this, the others could no longer hold back and immediately spat out the food, quickly gulping down water.

As for Xu Liang... he didn’t spit it out.

Not because he didn’t want to, but because it had been in his mouth too long and he had already swallowed it....

"Is it pickled? Can you pickle tomato scrambled eggs?"

Xu Liang looked at Yang Ruoxi, commenting with a sigh, "Xiaoyang, you have a talent for cooking."

"But truth be told, I think not cooking would be the best use of your talent."

"Or maybe you could go to Upper City and use this dish to interrogate Young Master Sauce One and Young Master Sauce Two, or just join National Security. I think you’d do quite well with your talent!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruoxi was immediately incredulous.

"It was totally tasty!"

She mumbled with her mouth as she continued to eat, but the intense saltiness overwhelmed her senses as soon as it entered her mouth.

Yang Ruoxi nearly spat it out, but seeing Su Yu watching intently from the side, she forced a smile and endured, saying weakly:

"It’s... quite appetizing with rice."

Saltiness can enhance the appetite, right....

Xu Liang no longer wanted to comment. He sighed, eyes filled with tolerance, and then patted her head. He took the dish for a second round of processing.

A moment later.

The dish was brought back to the table, and only then did everyone finish it cleanly.

After the meal, Su Yu got up and began washing everyone’s bowls and chopsticks.

Seeing this, Xu Liang was speechless, originally intending to wash them himself... he could only smile and say:

"You’re quite considerate, junior sister."

Upon hearing this, the people around agreed, and Su Yu smiled quietly, saying nothing as she wiped her hands and returned to her workstation to start her daily tasks, leaving only Yang Ruoxi.

Yang Ruoxi’s face was slightly flushed, and after a while, she gritted her teeth.

"Chao said my cooking was quite good!"

In the past, when she cooked at home, Wang Chao would praise her as he ate, never having had a reaction like this from everyone.

Of course.

No one else acted like Wang Chao, who would shove food into his mouth and gulp it down like a sink draining.

"Chao, what’s up with Chao?" Xu Liang heard the commotion, stopping just as he was about to step into his office, turning back to look at her quizzically.

"Huh? Oh, it’s nothing, Wang Chao is getting a promotion, quite good actually."

Yang Ruoxi quickly remedied.

Wang Chao... getting a promotion!?

Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, then understood and chuckled.

Honestly, people always say it’s hard to earn merit and get promoted within the system, but Wang Chao never thought so.

He mused, isn’t merit something you can just easily come by!?

Like the steel case, or the human experiment case, isn’t there merit everywhere?

What? You don’t have it?

Why not try aligning with someone, anyway he found a big shot.

So...

Wang Chao got promoted, and it’s a significant one!

"Seems he’s being transferred to Qingshi City? I kind of forgot, but he’s definitely not in Hanhai City... maybe he’s even going to Upper City!" Yang Ruoxi recalled.

Though Hanhai City isn’t doing well, it’s compared to Upper City and Hai City!

Within Lanshan Province, its development is definitely top-tier.

Unless going to manage other areas... Xu Liang thought no one would make Chao a manager.

So, if he’s transferred out of the city and promoted... it must be Qingshi City.

"That’s not bad."

Xu Liang nodded, if Chao could come to Qingshi City... it would be like a meteoric rise.

This implies, the rank is likely at Police Superintendent, and in his twenties, before forty, he can surely climb to a white shirt rank.
