Chapter 2040 The Three Relaxing Male Leads

And so, peaceful days came.

Lu Chengwen, Long Aotian, and Zhao Ritian, each with a new profession.

Zhao Ritian was complained about in the kitchen every day, and the head chef scolded him every day because he always stole food, and he was always caught red-handed.

The chef didn't scold him for stealing, but rather for the way he stole it, which was so brainless. It was almost a sarcastic remark, like, "So what if I stole it? What are you going to do about it?"

However, Zhao Ritian has a good temper and knows he's cheating, so he apologizes when caught. He'll just steal again next time.

Go complain to the housekeeper; others may not know, but the housekeeper will!

This old man is here to enjoy a life of luxury and leisure, but he can't let anyone know.

He would always brush it off, saying that the person was a distant relative he had arranged for him to come. When the head chef heard this, he would say, "Have some, have some," and then assign him tasks to do.

At first, I wanted to target him and bully him.

But Zhao Ritian was a hard worker, and he wasn't afraid of hardship or fatigue. After a week, the head chef started to like Zhao Ritian.

The thing about people is that they are the hardest to get along with.

Over time, a person's character and moral qualities will become apparent.

The head chef discovered that Zhao Ritian was just a bit greedy and a bit silly, but apart from those two things, he was fine.

He is very honest and hardworking. The head chef felt regretful, thinking what a good kid he was. If he weren't so naive, he would have even wanted to take him on as an apprentice and pass on his cooking skills to him.

Two weeks later, Zhao Ritian had become one of the people in the kitchen. Many of the maids and talented women who had close ties with the kitchen staff had even become familiar with him and enjoyed joking with him.

Zhao Ritian is simple-minded and always smiles at everyone he meets; he doesn't mind anyone joking with him.

However, they did get into a fight once. There were some bad guys in the kitchen who deliberately messed with Zhao Ritian, and he took it as a joke. Zhao Ritian challenged one of them to a duel.

It's easy to imagine that Zhao Ritian, who was demoted even further, was still an animal!

It would be strange if the kitchen chopper could beat him.

The head chef realized that this kid wasn't stupid after all!

They secretly tested him and discovered a new world.

This kid learns things really fast!

You teach him how to cut things, and he can do it right away. Just tell him how to cut!

The chef even presented him with impossible conditions, conditions that even he himself couldn't meet. He frowned, stared, and pondered for a while before managing to cut it out.

Millimeter-level tool control!

This move amazed the kitchen staff, and the head chef asked him if he knew kung fu.

Zhao Ritian said he knew a little bit, and the head chef was very satisfied. He asked him if he wanted to learn to cook, saying that if he did well, he could send him to a very prestigious culinary competition. After winning a medal, he would have no trouble finding a job and his future would be limitless.

Zhao Ritian absolutely refused to do it!

He blurted out, "What's a grown man like me doing learning this stuff? Serving others? I'm not learning it! I'm not learning it! A real man is served!"

The head chef smashed three spoons on his head, wishing he could push him into the stove pit and cook him.

If you don't want to learn, then don't learn. Who are you insulting?

Later, relying on his cooking process, hey, he could remember it after being told it only once, the order, ingredients, method, amount... all with perfect accuracy.

And if you interrupt him, or ask him again a few days later about what he was taught a few days ago, he will still answer immediately.

So the head chef began to secretly train him.

The head chef discovered that if you don't explicitly tell him to learn to be a chef, but just teach him, he will learn naturally and smoothly.

If you say, "Come on, come on, be my apprentice, I'll teach you how to cook," he shakes his head, making no attempt to hide his contempt for chefs and the profession.

Then the head chef would know what to do.

Anyway, he's an honest kid, and a distant relative of the housekeeper, so I'll do my best to teach him. It's always good to have more skills! Whether he can make a living from this in the future and stop being a handyman depends on his own fate.

……

Long Aotian is also alright.

Long Aotian is actually a very resilient and strong person.

The days spent guarding the Mo family's great formation were actually quite tedious most of the time.

He once led a few people to survive in the wilderness of the Great Formation area for several months, enduring great hardship by eating wind and drinking dew, but he remained steadfast in his beliefs and his spirit never faltered.

Now, he has returned to his old profession as a security guard, and he doesn't feel ashamed at all.

His understanding of the martial arts world was not just about showing off, picking up girls, and having romantic encounters. In his view, true heroes and wise men were those who could maintain their integrity in adversity, remain calm and composed, and not waste their time.

Therefore, Long Aotian, dressed in a security guard uniform, was getting along very well with the security captain.

Of course, he never changed his habit of bragging.

But guess what? The security team fell for it!

Because everyone is bragging.

Some claimed to know kung fu, and were already at the intermediate level, but had no opportunity to use it; others said they had slept with so many women that they could be hauled up by a cart, and that they could change women on average every week.

Some said they knew many important people. They weren't very familiar with the provincial governor, but they had connections with the mayors. They said they didn't keep in touch now because they weren't doing well and didn't want to trouble their friends.

Some people say they have incredible influence in a certain area, and even now, you can eat there for free. Others say they hire nightclubs to pick up girls...

Long Aotian doesn't like to brag about these things.

Long Aotian loved to comment on important figures, saying that the Zhang family member was no good; that person's kung fu was mediocre; that person's talent was average, and that's all they'd amount to in life; that person had some skills, but not much, at most they could only guard people's homes...

However, Long Aotian's loyalty and sense of righteousness towards his "comrades" gradually came to the fore.

A security guard got into trouble. This guy, who usually boasts a lot, was so scared at the crucial moment that he cried and trembled, afraid of being fired by the housekeeper.

When the butler came to question him, Long Aotian thought that apart from bragging, he was actually a pretty honest person and not bad, so he stepped forward and said that he had done it himself.

The butler was speechless when he saw that it was Long Aotian.

After a few words of reproach, the matter was dropped.

From then on, that kid was willing to get close to Long Aotian, offering him cigarettes all the time, calling him "Brother Tian" very affectionately, and even saying that he would protect Long Aotian in the future.

……

Lu Chengwen was in great pain.

He hadn't experienced such a peaceful life in a long time.

I'm so bored I feel restless and restless, it's driving me crazy. My butt is practically growing weeds...

He was in charge of cleaning, specifically tidying up the weapons, swords, spears, halberds, and the like, and regularly wiping them clean; the training grounds also needed to be regularly weeded, swept, and watered...

All three were low-level handymen working outside the Zhang family.

However, the second steward of the outer sect had received special attention from the head steward for these three people.

The head steward claimed to be a distant relative, and instructed the second steward to do the same.

The second steward understood immediately; this was an opportunity to curry favor with the head steward, so he readily obliged.

One day, the second steward thought the security team had been working overtime lately, so he had the kitchen prepare some delicious food to reward them. That's when trouble started.

Zhao Ritian was arrogant and thought everyone in the security team was good except for that guy named Xiaotian, who was not allowed to eat.

Long Aotian thought to himself, "You think you can target me just because you have a little power?"

So the two of them started arguing in the restaurant.

Both sides had their supporters, and the kitchen staff and security team all pitched in, and it looked like a big battle was about to break out!

The second steward was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell is going on?!
