Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Tang Li quickly threw the rest of the meat into the cage, wiped her oily hands on her apron, and then slowly took out her phone.

When she saw that it was a message from Ji Yongjun on the screen, her eyes lit up instantly, and a smile immediately spread across her face.

In the video, Wang Yuyu's valley-shaking roar, his swift running down the mountain, and especially his domineering appearance amidst the wind and snow when he "descended the mountain like a tiger," made Tang Li's eyebrows dance and her mouth almost reach her ears.

She laughed loudly, "Hahaha! What a spirit! What energy! No wonder it's a secure job! Looks like we might see a chubby little tiger cub next year!"

She pointed at her phone screen, as if talking to Wang Yuyu, and pumped her fist: "Go for it, Iron Rice Bowl! Try your best to win back the beautiful tiger and bring me a litter of tiger cubs!"

Five days later.

At the ridge, a familiar yellow figure returned, cursing and swearing.

Wang Yuyu flicked its tail, its steps heavy and furious. Without looking back, it crossed the ridge and plunged into its familiar territory, growling and howling as if venting its anger.

"I'm so angry! Tang Li is such a liar! How dare she cheat me!"

He cursed Tang Li in his mind, "I'm never coming to this lousy place in the north again, I have to stay far, far away from it!"

"Next time we meet, I'm going to tear all her clothes to shreds, make her pay for this! I'll teach her a lesson for messing with me!"

"Also, I need to ask her for a few dozen more pounds of meat to replenish my strength! I'm not this tired even when I'm patrolling my territory normally. These past few days fighting those three stinky tigers have almost completely drained me!"

"Damn it! How could I have believed her nonsense! She must have known all along that I'd be seduced by that tigress, and deliberately lured me here! That scheming woman!"

"I'm so angry, so angry..."

Cursing and swearing all the way across the frozen river, Wang Yuyu found a snowdrift sheltered from the wind, lay down on the snow beside it, and panted heavily.

He planned to rest for a while, and once he recovered, he would go hunting to make up for the huge energy he had expended over the past few days.

But just two minutes after I lay down, a slight buzzing sound came from a distance.

Wang Yuyu suddenly raised her head, her amber eyes scanning the sky warily.

A drone was flying towards him, and once it reached his head, it hovered there, refusing to leave.

"Hmm? Why aren't you leaving?"

Wang Yu frowned, her ears pressed tightly to her scalp, every muscle in her body tense. "Is it from a protected area? Or poached?"

He began to have doubts: "No matter which one it is, it's not a good thing."

"Just to be safe, I'd better leave quickly. What if they're poachers watching me, waiting for an opportunity to strike? Then I'm finished!"

Thinking of this, Wang Yu immediately stood up, turned around, and disappeared into the dense woods next to him.

He wanted to use the dense trees as cover to shake off the drone's tracking from the sky.

He hadn't run far when he suddenly remembered the tracking ball he'd thrown on the northern ridge, and immediately felt a pang of regret: "Sigh, if only the ball were still with me, the people at the research base could have spotted the drone directly, and I wouldn't have had to worry about the rest!"

Wang Yuyu wandered around in the woods, deliberately choosing to walk in places with dense foliage, but the drone overhead seemed to have eyes, always following him closely, no matter how hard he tried to shake it off.

"Damn it! I'm not leaving!"

Wang Yuyu abruptly stopped, turned around, and stared intently at the drone overhead, her eyes filled with rage. "I want to see what the person behind this is up to!"

He simply lay down under a thick pine tree, raised his head slightly, and stared intently at the drone in the sky, patiently waiting to see what would happen next.

After a stalemate of more than forty minutes, Wang Yuyu suddenly heard an even more intense buzzing sound coming from the horizon.

He immediately stood up alertly, hid behind a tree trunk, and only showed half of his head to observe.

Looking up, he saw four drones carrying four bulging objects flying towards him.

After the drone flew over his head and hovered steadily for a moment, it dropped the object it was hanging on, then turned and left with a "buzz".

Four lumps landed on the snow, making "plop plop" sounds.

Wang Yuyu sniffed the air and a strong, delicious smell of blood wafted towards him.

"Meat?" He was stunned, his face full of doubt. "Is it a gift for me?"

Just as he was hesitating whether to go forward, a round little ball suddenly stood up from the snow next to him, and the camera on top of it was pointed precisely at him.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Li's voice, tinged with obvious laughter, rang out: "A secure job! A secure job! Dinner's ready! Stop hiding, come out and eat!"

Hearing Tang Li's teasing voice, Wang Yuyu instantly flew into a rage, his fur standing on end: "Damn it! I knew it was you! You know everything! You've definitely been spying on me from the shadows! You're making a fool of me, aren't you!"

"A secure job, come out here!" Tang Li's voice was laced with laughter, still enticing him. "This is all fresh venison, specially made to nourish your body. You must have been exhausted these past few days, right?"

Wang Yuyu, with a dark, tiger-like face, emerged from behind the tree trunk.

He ignored the venison on the ground, walked straight to the small ball, raised his heavy tiger paw, and stomped on the camera with a "thud," pushing the camera back into the ball.

Inside the research base, the computer screen that had been displaying Wang Yuyu's image suddenly went black.

Tang Li stared at the black screen, then helplessly looked up at the researchers beside her, shrugging, "Alright, this little tyrant is angry!"

Ji Yongjun chuckled and patted Tang Li on the shoulder, teasingly saying, "Little Tang, judging by his 'iron rice bowl' attitude, you'd better watch out next time you meet! He's not petty, and he holds grudges!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Li's face instantly darkened, and she glared at Ji Yongjun, saying, "Uncle Ji, you're setting me up!"

"We clearly agreed that we'd share the responsibility, so why are you now denying it after you've done your job?"

"Really?" Ji Yongjun asked, feigning surprise, but with a smile on his face. "I don't recall saying that."

He paused, then added, "Xiao Tang, it's useless for you to tell me all this. The key is whether you believe in the 'iron rice bowl' (guaranteed job)!"

"Uncle Ji!" Tang Li shouted angrily, her voice rising several decibels, "You were the one who told me there was a tigress north of the Iron Rice Bowl Territory!"

"Otherwise, how would an ordinary citizen like me know so much! You can't use me as a shield!"

"Hahaha..." The researchers around them all laughed heartily, each one looking on with amusement.

Ji Yongjun remained unmoved, still smiling as he said, "Then go explain it to Iron Rice Bowl (a nickname for a job seeker), and see if he'll believe you."
