71: Entertainment apps cannot be used 24 hours a day
The Governor was very confused; was the joke he told really that trashy?
But if so, how could he explain that Director Wang had laughed until tears came out after hearing his joke?
Looking at it this way, it wasn't that his joke was bad, but rather that Miss Lei's sense of humor was simply too high.
Since Miss Lei didn't like listening to his jokes, he stopped telling them.
He switched to chatting about some interesting anecdotes and observations he had encountered at work.
These true little stories were actually more attractive than stiff jokes; Lei Jun listened with quite some interest this time, occasionally nodding slightly.
Seeing this, the Governor secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Taking advantage of the gap while Lei Jun was chatting with Director Wang, the Governor's secretary discreetly held a phone screen before his eyes, showing a line of text.
“The ‘Moon Goddess's Teardrop’ necklace worn by Miss Lei is valued at thirty-six million yuan.”
Seeing this figure, the Governor of Longcheng's pupils suddenly constricted.
Thirty-six million... for a single necklace!
He was now even more certain that Lei Jun was definitely a princess of a top-tier family in the Dragon Kingdom!
She was someone he couldn't afford to offend!
She was also a powerful connection, someone who could help him become a high-ranking regional official.
Therefore, the matter of promoting the animal protection law must not only be handled well, but it must be done beautifully and with perfection beyond expectations!
...Soon, the dishes were served.
The Governor of Longcheng rose personally, first filling a glass of red wine for himself, then holding the bottle with both hands, he walked very respectfully to Lei Jun's side and carefully poured a little into the wine glass in front of her.
He picked up his own wine glass, leaned forward, and with the most sincere smile on his face, offered a toast to Lei Jun.
“Miss Lei, I toast to you, thank you for gracing us with your presence!”
After saying that, he very boldly drained his glass in one gulp and showed the bottom of the glass to show his sincerity.
Lei Jun actually had no great interest in this kind of social engagement, but considering that the other party was, after all, the highest official in Longcheng and was currently working on her behalf, she had to give him some face.
She took a small sip, which counted as giving the Governor face.
And when the Governor saw that Lei Jun actually drank the wine, he was ecstatic.
He had originally been prepared for Lei Jun not to touch a single drop.
After all, with her status, she didn't need to give anyone face.
He didn't expect Lei Jun to actually drink; this was clearly an acknowledgment of his attitude!
This special honor made him a bit flustered; he immediately filled two more glasses for himself and downed them consecutively.
He didn't even bother to wipe the wine flowing down the corner of his mouth, only thinking of using actions to prove his sincerity.
“Miss Lei, I toast you two more times!”
“Rest assured, when it comes to promoting the legislation, I will absolutely not be ambiguous!”
Seeing him like this, Lei Jun raised her hand to signal: “Alright, the sentiment is received.”
The Governor was stunned.
Miss Lei... Is she concerned about his health?
An indescribable wave of emotion welled up in his heart, bringing tears to his eyes.
Someone of such noble status would actually care about his insignificant feelings... This... what an honor!
This consideration made him feel that all his previous attempts to curry favor were worth it!
He felt the blood all over his body heating up, and his loyalty to Lei Jun instantly soared to the peak.
After three rounds of wine and five courses of food, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
The Governor of Longcheng seized the opportunity, stood up again, and patted his chest vigorously.
“Miss Lei, please rest assured, tomorrow—no, I will arrange it immediately upon my return. The first thing tomorrow morning will be to convene a special meeting to officially launch the legislative promotion work for the ‘longcheng animal protection law’!”
“I will definitely mobilize all resources to implement this law in Longcheng with the fastest speed and the highest standards!”
“I will not let you down!”
Lei Jun smiled faintly and nodded.
From discovering Pet Name had been caught, to learning of Yao Yuan's evil deeds, to worrying that the law could not punish him, there was finally a result.
The Governor's attitude was good; with him personally overseeing it, the implementation of the “animal protection law” should go very smoothly.
In this way, not only could Pet Name be protected, but those cat abusers like Yao Yuan would finally be restrained, and the tragedy of over four thousand cats who died in vain might be reduced from now on.
The look in her eyes as she watched the Governor held a bit more approval.
“It’s been hard on you. Do a good job; this is a deed that accumulates merit.”
Then she turned to Director Wang.
“Director Wang, please also pay more attention to the subsequent coordination work.”
This simple encouragement was like the most effective heart stimulant, making the Governor and Director Wang instantly overjoyed, so excited they almost jumped on the spot.
The Governor felt his political future was bright.
It was worth it!
Everything was worth it!
Director Wang was also shouting in his heart, feeling that he had made the right bet this time.
The banquet ended in an atmosphere where both guests and hosts were happy.
The Governor and Director Wang escorted Lei Jun all the way to the entrance of the “Tingyu Pavilion,” personally opened the car door for her, and shielded her as she sat into the pagani. Only when the sports car's taillights completely disappeared into the night did the two of them heave a long sigh of relief, their faces brimming with uncontrollable, excited smiles... Returning home, Lei Jun changed out of her slightly formal dress and felt much more relaxed.
After playing with Pet Name for a while with Lei Ying and Lei Yue, she then clicked open the system.
The mission list had been refreshed.
【godly tycoon mission: Do not use any entertainment APPs within 24 hours. Mission Reward: 1,000 godly tycoon coins.】
【Entertainment is not a bad thing, but please do not become addicted to it.】
24 hours... without using entertainment APPs?
Lei Jun was stunned.
She understood the meaning of the system's mission; it was to make her better.
But 24 hours without using entertainment APPs would be too uncomfortable.
Lei Jun was lost, feeling very unadjusted.
She didn't know how to spend these boring 24 hours.
Can't scroll through TikTok, can't play games... so hard!
Really unable to think of what to do, Lei Jun decided to first have a nice, long sleep.
That way she could kill one-third of the time; as for the remaining two-thirds, she'd deal with it tomorrow.
Lei Ying and Lei Yue looked at each other in confusion; the Young Lady was going to sleep too early today.
It was only nine o'clock.
As soon as Lei Jun lay on the bed, Pet Name jumped up and affectionately rubbed its head against her hand.
With nothing to do, Lei Jun took this opportunity to concentrate on petting the cat.
The soft and warm touch of the cat came through her fingertips, and listening to its satisfied purring was also a different kind of relaxation.
After playing with the kitten for a while, drowsiness gradually hit, and she fell asleep in a daze.
Pet Name also took the opportunity to crawl into her quilt, snuggling close to her, finding the most comfortable position, and peacefully entering dreamland... At seven o'clock the next morning, Lei Jun was licked awake by Pet Name's little barbed tongue; the little fellow was probably hungry.
After waking up, she found she could no longer fall back asleep.
So she got up to go running with Lei Ying and Lei Yue, completing the daily three-kilometer long-term godly tycoon mission.
