After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor
Chapter 54: Good intentions? Premeditated?
"I agree that Admiral Zhi Ge should serve as Miss Alice's temporary guardian."
Baili Zhui, who broke in unexpectedly, once again made his position clear.
"This……"
Seeing someone hesitate, Baili Zhui immediately spoke up: "However, the Interstellar Act stipulates that when a female is not accompanied by a partner or guardian, she must be accompanied by at least three male orcs for close protection, so..."
"I think that even if it is a temporary guardian, we still need to find two more outstanding males to protect Miss Alice. Is that right? Admiral Zhi Ge."
Baili Zhui changed the subject and actually ambushed him here.
Zhi Ge was not angry, but replied calmly, "Yes, after confirming the first temporary guardian, the female can choose the second temporary guardian within 120 hours. If the time limit is exceeded, the system will automatically select and assign the second temporary guardian. If the female is not satisfied with the candidate assigned by the system, she can file a complaint after 72 hours and change to a new temporary guardian."
"General Zhige remembers it very clearly!" Baili Zhui teased.
"What do you think, Lord Baili?" Zhi Ge took the initiative.
Instead of beating around the bush, it is better to come straight to the point and lay all your plans out in the open.
Baili Zhui also had this intention. The opinions he proposed next would be unanimously recognized by all the senior executives present.
"I think it would be better to hold a press conference. On the one hand, it would make the current situation of the females public and restore the image of the senior management."
"On the other hand, you can recommend outstanding males from your family to attend the dinner after the press conference. They will also be included in the candidate list of temporary guardians for Miss Alice to choose personally."
"What do you think of this proposal?"
Baili Zhui's words are well-reasoned and there is nothing flawed in them.
"Let's do it!" Zhi Ge spoke first and expressed his agreement.
If he spoke out against it now, Baili Zhui would certainly ask him to come up with a solution to the problem. However, judging from the current situation, it would be better to go with the flow and save the face and prestige of the top leaders first to avoid exacerbating the conflict with the people.
As for what Baili Zhui was up to, Zhi Ge didn't care. All he had to do was protect the safety of the females.
Seeing this, the others also echoed -
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"I have no opinion!"
"I……"
After a unanimous decision by all the senior executives present, a press conference will be held in three days, at which the specific situation of the female and the identity of Zhige’s temporary guardian will be announced.
In addition, a debut dinner for the female will be held after the press conference, with the aim of recruiting outstanding single males from all walks of life to serve as the other two temporary guardians of the female.
……
When the news reached Laurel Manor, Pushik was preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Originally, the housekeeper didn't allow him to enter the kitchen. In addition, females have a respected status in this world. If a female who has never done housework is asked to cook for a male, it would be a heinous crime.
However, the butler could not overcome Pu Xike's insistence, especially when the other party said that he wanted to repay Zhi Ge who saved him in this insignificant way. The butler hesitated again and again and finally chose to compromise.
This is not "insignificant" at all! It's more like a blessing to be able to let a female wash her hands and cook soup. I'm afraid it's worth it in this life.
The housekeeper began to look forward to what expression his master would have if he knew that the young lady had prepared tonight's dinner.
However, one thing that puzzled the butler was...
"Miss Alice, can you cook?"
Pu Xike nodded and said that he could cook some simple home-cooked dishes.
The conditions in Laurel Manor are much better than those in the restricted area, but the food is still mainly nutrient solution, but they are all high-quality nutrient solution, and the taste is much better than Lyon's biological weapons.
Occasionally the manor would provide some fruits or meat, but the methods were too monotonous. After all, cooking ingredients with spices or condiments was knowledge and technology mastered by ancient humans.
Pushik initially thought that this group of orcs had not evolved completely, causing their bodies to be unable to absorb certain human foods. However, when she saw Leon (a canine orc) could actually drink coffee, she dispelled this idea.
Therefore, the main reason why orcs can't cook is that they simply can't understand the recipes of ancient humans -
For example, in the recipe from an ancient oriental country on Blue Star, words such as "appropriate amount", "one large spoonful", "three small spoonfuls", and "add as appropriate" are used to prevent others from stealing their skills. To this day, the orcs have not been able to replicate the legendary delicacies of ancient humans.
Of course, there are also relatively simple cuisines like Western cuisine and Kaiseki cuisine, but Western cuisine always focuses on the original taste of the ingredients, which is no different from eating raw meat; while Kaiseki cuisine pays too much attention to refinement and is more like a work of art than food.
This is why orcs rarely cook, because it is either too difficult or the food they cook does not suit their taste.
Over time, the ancient humans' way of eating was quickly abandoned, and the orcs instead enjoyed the nutrient solution that was simple and could quickly fill them up.
In pursuit of a higher quality of life, nutrient solutions have also learned to innovate and are no longer satisfied with simply replenishing the energy needed by organisms.
Although the nutrient solution of Laurel Manor was carefully prepared by the housekeeper and served in exquisite glasses like cocktails for people to enjoy, she was "unlucky" to enjoy such flashy technology and hard work. Although it tasted much better than Leon's biological weapons, she would rather spend time making a dish that people can eat.
As for the so-called reward to stop the war, it was of course all lies to the housekeeper. I don’t know why this world keeps such a close eye on females, even entering the kitchen is like going to the battlefield.
When Zhi Ge came back from the meeting, it was already sunset.
Hal ran out to greet him like a dog that smelled its master's scent, and kept on saying, "Boss, we're in for a treat tonight!"
Zhi Ge was puzzled, but was urged by Hal to come to the restaurant.
Pu Xike, who was arranging the dishes, saw the people who had just returned and immediately called out, "Come on! Dinner is ready!"
Hal couldn't wait any longer and pulled Zhige to his seat, "Boss, you have to taste Miss Alice's cooking."
When he heard that Pu Xike had made dinner, Zhi Ge frowned and asked angrily, "What's going on? How could you let a female enter the kitchen?"
"Well..." Hal was speechless for a moment.
Although Pushik asked her to cook the meal herself, it was already a foregone conclusion that a female would be allowed into the kitchen.
Seeing this, Pushik immediately interrupted and came to Hal's rescue: "Don't blame them, this is all my request."
"Miss..." Hal gave her a grateful look.
But Zhi Ge thought that letting females into the kitchen to cook was a dereliction of duty for males, and that he should lead by example. "I'm sorry, Miss! I didn't discipline my subordinates well, and I'm causing you trouble."
Pu Xike really hates the behavior of males who take females too seriously. They are not fragile. Can their lives be threatened just by cooking a meal?
"Zhi Ge, I don't think there is any trouble. So, you don't have to ask people to protect me overly." Pu Xike looked at the man with unexpectedly firm eyes.
Zhi Ge was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Hal admired Pushik for being a female, yet she had such a strong spirit that could leave the boss speechless.
"Then let's eat! Everyone has been busy all day and must be hungry." Pu Xike changed the subject in time to avoid making the atmosphere too awkward.
"Great!"
Hal couldn't wait any longer. How could he resist facing a table full of delicious food?
"Delicious~" Hal stuffed a mouthful of greasy barbecue into his mouth, his face full of happiness.
Upon hearing this, Zhige and Said also tasted Pushik's cooking. They had to say, it was indeed much more delicious than the nutrient solution.
Even though some of them had eaten normal food before, they had never tasted such a rich flavor. They couldn't help but whet their appetites and started eating.
