I Have a Dice Left by a God-Chapter 421 - 13: Lin Fei’s Dilemma

Jina can do that, but others can’t. When it comes to connections, who doesn’t have some? Work still needs to be done. Lin Fei could stay and receive Jina’s approval not because of connections. She does her work systematically and with taste, without any hint of noble men’s fussiness and pretentiousness.

She doesn’t speak when there’s nothing, but when communication is needed, her ability is very strong. She always arranges things well, so Jina is happy. Speaking of connections, in her department, Lin Fei stands out in terms of backing, but she’s not arrogant at all.

The relationship between women is very intriguing; if they like each other, everyone has strengths.

Returning to her desk, on the left are stacks of recent Justice Daily editions. Although the three major newspapers focus on different sections, there’s a lot of overlapping content. Resources are limited, and you have to fight for them. Although Jina didn’t say, she didn’t let others go, but took only Lin Fei, which is a way to let her know what she needs to do, or else Jina’s job would be difficult.

Some things don’t need to be said out loud.

Lin Fei’s work is also tough. Normal communication is fine, but the difficulty lies in the fact that some people’s goals aren’t about money, which she’s comprehended very well. Some give hints; some clearly make demands—agree and collaborate, or refuse and say goodbye.

In the arts section, aside from stylish events and new products of noble and wealthy people, it’s about major scholars of the Celestial Principle School, famous painters, writers, and sculptors. There’s a need to change the approach and figure out what else might attract the citizens’ attention.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Fei realized she couldn’t sit idle. Regardless of the other’s attitude, a visit is necessary—it’s part of the job.

Li Xin had nothing to do in the afternoon, wrote a manuscript for a while. To settle in Dragon Capital, he must earn money. It’s not that he can’t carry packages, but it’s definitely not serving anyone—it’s a matter of principle. The Utopia Mountain Enmity Tale must be finished, and Aunt Fei works at the Hex Bird Society, so it should continue to be published.

After finishing a piece, the sky outside turned gray again; autumn in Dragon Capital was windy, but it felt refreshing after blowing over. Checking the time, it’s about time to prepare dinner. He learned a lot of dishes at Hedan and prepared a big table of dishes while humming to himself.

Lin Fei had a busy day with no progress at work. The Justice Daily also offers prices for famous artists, but Lin Fei’s authority is limited, making promises carelessly isn’t possible. Not that there’s no gain, Lin Fei realized a serious issue: the Justice Daily implicitly decided the levels of literary and artists, within the artists’ circle signing with Justice Daily is top tier, Citizen Daily became second tier, and the third tier would go to Bird Flight; this has immense impact—often the issue isn’t just money.

She can’t solve this problem. Kathy provided Lin Fei with a carriage. Initially, Lin Fei refused believing taxis would suffice, but Kathy insisted it could avoid many troubles and enhance safety, so she agreed, finding it indeed convenient. The carriage bore the Church Court’s emblem under the Moon God’s Court; no one dared to provoke it easily.

Lin Fei brought Xueyin home; despite being tired, it didn’t show when at home. Preparing to cook, he saw a table full of rich dinner, of pleasing color, fragrance, and taste, "Ah Xin, did you make all this?"

Xueyin was also incredulously looking at Li Xin; the dishes were exquisite, "Ah Xin, have you become a culinary learner at Hedan?"

"Sort of," Li Xin replied with a smile, "Aunt Fei, Xueyin, wash your hands for dinner, try Hedan cuisine."

"The presentation looks good, but let’s see how it tastes." Lin Fei smiled elegantly.

"I’m not bragging, it’s just below the Gourmet Association level!" Li Xin patted his chest.

Smelling the fragrance, Lin Fei’s suppressed hunger immediately surged; she picked up the chopsticks to taste, instantly the flavor blossomed, and the two beauties started eating ravenously regardless of their image. Despite the speed, Lin Fei maintained elegance—a habit from childhood—even in the Underground City. But Xueyin didn’t care; though Lin Fei tried encouraging elegance, Xueyin could only hold herself for a moment before her little mouth was filled with food, eyes smiling into crescents, "Mom, I don’t want to eat your cooking anymore, I want Ah Xin’s!"

"No can do, Ah Xin has much to do and can’t always cook. Occasionally, if you excel in exams, he can reward you with a meal." Lin Fei said, a little insincere since the food was truly delicious.

"I’m available anytime," Li Xin chuckled, "Aunt Fei, does Lu Shuai often visit?"

"Luo Xue, Lu Shuai, Huerta, and a girl named Fei Ruolin have visited a few times, been quite helpful." Lin Fei laughed, "Doesn’t Luo Xue seem to have some interest in you?"

"Cough, Aunt Fei, don’t say such things; we are Canon Law School comrades, friends."

"Luo Xue kind of looks okay, but she’s ice-cold and uninteresting, doesn’t seem a match for Ah Xin." Xueyin remarked after swallowing her bite.

"Young lady, finish your meal and then homework." Lin Fei glared at little Xueyin, who pouted—always like this, why can’t kids have a say?

She pondered but obediently kept her head down eating... yum, it’s so tasty.

The trio finished the whole table spread, Lin Fei indeed was hungry, and Xueyin ate quite some too. Classes were exhaustingly consuming; more than when underground.

After dinner, Lin Fei asked Li Xin to rest while she cleaned the kitchen. Xueyin was sent to do her homework. Her eyes lingered at the dining table, resembling an abandoned child.

"Xueyin, study hard, if you do well, I’ll take you out this weekend," Li Xin couldn’t help but say.

"Yay, I knew Ah Xin is the best!" Xueyin dashed over for a huge hug kiss to Li Xin.

Lin Fei shook her head with a smile, "Provided you behave well at school, I’ll check with your teachers, also, avoid fighting!"

Xueyin pouted, a bit dissatisfied but didn’t argue.

"Aunt Fei, you can’t simply put it like that. If provoked, stand your ground; if bullied, retaliate if possible, run if necessary—smart ones choose to retreat, tell me later." Li Xin said.

"Don’t worry, Ah Xin. It’s just a bunch of kids unfamiliar with life. A snake can scare them half to death; I’ve plenty of tricks, relax; except for teachers, others are my juniors!" Lin Xueyin boasted, catching sight of Lin Fei’s disapproving hint, she immediately made a swift exit.
