Chapter 017 The Fifth Largest Intelligence Organization
"Hey, is the hour off work?"
"Yeah, time to get off work."
In the evening, Shi Yue led Shi Qiu Shui back to the slum. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Yao Dazui running around with a handful of melon seeds. He greeted Yao Dazui politely and prepared to go home, but before he could take a step, Yao Dazui grabbed his arm.
"Hey, Shi Yue, is there a thief in the factory warehouse?"
Shi Yue twitched his lips and thought to himself, Yao Dazui is indeed a trustworthy person. She knows everything that happened in the factory during the day before it even gets dark.
Shi Qiushui, standing aside, glanced at Yao Dazui calmly. Was Yao Dazui's intelligence skills so terrifying?!
You know, her father, as a member of the security department, only found out about the theft in the factory not long ago. She didn't expect that Yao Dazui would also know about it so quickly!
Seeing that Shi Yue didn't reply, Yao Dazui continued, "I also heard that the thief is from our factory. Shi Yue, do you think that's true?"
Shi Yue: "Aunt Yao, where did you hear this? I don't even know about this."
This was not because he lied to Yao Dazui, but the security department was not sure whether the thief was an outsider or an employee of the factory.
Yao Dazui said, "Hey, you're still lying to me? It's all over the factory. Old Sun from your security department suspected someone in the warehouse was a thief, so he called all the warehouse employees in for a lecture. He even got into an argument with the warehouse supervisor, Xue, about it."
She curled her lips and said, "I know Old Sun. Although he has a bad temper, he is not a fool. Since he suspects the people in the warehouse, the thief must be related to them."
Shi Qiu Shui: It’s so terrifying, so terrifying!
As an aunt who doesn't work in the factory, Yao Dazui actually knows the personalities of the factory employees very well. Isn't this terrifying enough!
At this time, Shi Qiu Shui didn't know that "Xicheng Aunties" like Yao Dazui, like the "Chaoyang Masses", were later known as the world's fifth largest ace intelligence organization.
Shi Yue didn't notice his daughter's expression. He scratched his head in shock. The news of the quarrel between Sun Guodong and Manager Xue had spread to the compound?
This is really, really don't know what to say to him...
He restrained his expression and said seriously, "Oh, Aunt Yao, you can't say that. I did ask everyone in the warehouse one by one. That was because there was a thief in the warehouse. I asked them if they had any clues about the thief, not because I suspected them of being the thief."
After all, there are no clues or evidence at the moment. Even if you suspect that the warehouse employee is the thief, you can't just say it carelessly. Otherwise, if you find out that the thief is not from the warehouse, it will be troublesome.
Yao Dazui curled his lips again and said, "Alright then, if you say you're not the one who suspects the warehouse, then you're not."
She then turned curious and inquired, "Hey, your security department has been investigating for a day. Did they find out who the thief is?"
"No!" Shi Yue pretended to be worried and said, "I'm worried about this very thing. I've searched the warehouse from top to bottom, left to right, and found no clues about the thief."
It's fake. He's actually not worried about this at all.
Although the security department was indeed upset because they couldn't catch the thief, what did this have to do with Shi Yue?
He was just a poor, helpless newcomer who was ostracized by everyone in the security department. He couldn't even say a word about what was happening in the security department, and the people in the security department didn't want to take him with them to catch thieves, so why should he be so anxious about this?
Shi Qiu Shui curled his lips and said nothing.
How could she not know what kind of person her father was? He was definitely not someone who would be upset about work. He probably said this just to show others that he was a good comrade who loved his work.
But Yao Dazui didn't know Shi Yue's true thoughts. He just felt that the kid was pitiful. He encountered this incident right after he was demobilized. He must be worried that he would be criticized by his superiors if he couldn't catch the thief.
She patted Shi Yue's shoulder and said soothingly, "Don't worry, Xiaoshi. You're not the only one in the Security Department. Even if you can't catch the thief, if the higher-ups want to blame you, there's Zhao Hui, the Section Chief, to take the blame. It won't be you who will be blamed."
Zhao Hui, who was still working overtime at the factory: ???
Why does my nose feel a little itchy? Is someone talking about him?
Turning his gaze back to the compound, Yao Dazui was still comforting Shi Yue: "Besides, it's just a thief, what's there to worry about? Auntie, I'll help you figure out a solution. Let's just catch him and that's it."
"Hey, why do I seem to see a cow flying in the sky? Oh, it turns out it was you, Yao Dazui, who blew it up!" As soon as Yao Dazui finished speaking, a sarcastic voice sounded.
Shi Yue, Shi Qiu Shui and Yao Dazui turned around at the same time and found that it was Gao Cuifen who spoke.
Gao Cuifen, her face bruised and battered, leaned forward and taunted, "You're such a braggart! You brag as much as you can, right? You're even helping people catch thieves, Yao Dazui. Don't you take yourself too seriously?"
Yao Dazui puffed out his chest and said, "Why, Gao Cuifen, are you so dissatisfied? He's just a thief. It's not like I haven't caught him before. During the Chinese New Year last year, I caught the thief who stole your bacon!"
"Bah!" Gao Cuifen spat. "You're really good at flattering yourself. What did you mean you caught him? Wasn't it just that the thief was throwing away the garbage when you happened to see him?"
"Isn't it because I was sharp-eyed and saw the half-eaten bacon in his trash can, and then recognized that it was the one you made!" Yao Dazui argued with Gao Cuifen without admitting defeat.
Gao Cuifen: "Then if I run into him, I'll be able to recognize that the bacon is mine!"
Yao Dazui: "Who told you not to touch him?"
Gao Cuifen: "You are just lucky!"
Yao Dazui didn't think she was just lucky. She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, then suddenly thought of something. She suppressed her aggressive aura and said with a smile, "Yeah, I was just lucky to have run into that thief. Actually, if we talk about catching that thief, the biggest contributor has to be you, Gao Cuifen. After all, if your bacon hadn't been so unpalatable, so unpalatable that the thief took a bite and threw the rest into the trash can, I wouldn't have noticed."
Gao Cuifen was so angry at her words that she looked like a compliment but secretly insulted him that her face turned pale. "You, you, you..."
Yao Dazui said, "Hey, Lao Gao, to be honest, I'm quite curious about how bad your cured meat tastes. How about this, I'll buy you a piece of pork belly this year, and you can pickle some for me to try?"
"You wish!" Gao Cuifen finally caught her breath and glared, "I won't make bacon for you!"
It takes a lot of seasoning to pickle bacon, so she won't spend the time and money to pickle bacon for Yao Dazui!
Fearing that Yao Dazui would really pester her and ask her to pickle bacon, Gao Cuifen hurriedly turned around and went home, saying only, "I'm going home to cook. I won't chat with you anymore!"
"Wait!" Yao Dazui rolled her eyes. She thought she couldn't tell what Gao Cuifen was thinking, and she didn't really want to eat the bacon that Gao Cuifen had pickled!
She turned to Shi Yue and said, "Don't take what your Aunt Gao said to heart. She's just jealous of my outstanding abilities."
When she said this, her expression was very proud, as if she felt that being envied was a kind of affirmation of herself.
She said, "Don't worry about catching the thief. I'll keep an eye on him for you. I'll let you know if I have any clues."
Shi Yue nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, thank you, Aunt Yao."
Yao Dazui: "I'll take care of this, don't worry!"
After thanking Yao Dazui again, Shi Yue led Shi Qiu Shui back home. After entering the house, he still found the matter a bit funny. On the contrary, Shi Qiu Shui next to him had a stern face and said seriously.
"Dad, be serious. Look at Aunt Yao, and then look at yourself!"
Shi Yue pinched Shi Qiushui's round face and teased her, "Huh? What's wrong with me?"
Shi Qiushui: "You don't take your work seriously at all! Aunt Yao was eager to catch a thief when she heard about it, but you, you're not proactive at all!"
She chattered, "Didn't you tell me on the way back that Uncle Zhao promised you guys a reward if we caught the thief? Why are you still not motivated at all?"
Shi Yue patted Shi Qiushui's little head and said, "What kind of rewards can you give as a leader? It's either a teacup, a towel, or a letter of praise. What's the point of these things?"
He's not stupid. If there really is a reward, how can he not be active? He's not active at all now, and it's because he asked around and found out that the rewards the factory usually gives out are just these worthless little things.
Shi Qiushui was stunned for a moment. "Well, then, you should be more proactive. Try your best to catch the thief and let the higher-ups see your ability. Maybe you'll get a chance to be promoted in the future."
"Wow, it seems you are still thinking about giving me a promotion?" Shi Yue pinched Shi Qiu Shui's little face in revenge. This girl hasn't given up on wanting her father to become Jacky Cheung.
He laughed slyly, "Didn't I tell you to give up on letting me work so hard? Just work hard on your own and get into a good university in the future!"
"Oh! You!" Shi Qiu Shui pouted and sighed in annoyance, feeling deeply that her father was the most difficult parent she had ever taught!
Huh? I didn't expect Mr. Kobayashi's catchphrase to be so appropriate here.
Shi Yue: "Hey, girl, what are you daydreaming about again?"
Shi Qiu Shui frowned, looked at him and said nothing.
Shi Yue: "Okay, girl, stop being in a daze. Tell me, what are we going to eat for dinner? Hey, why don't you come with me to a small restaurant to have a look? That way I don't have to pack up the food."
Shi Qiushui originally wanted to use Yao Dazui to motivate her father, but when she heard her father talking about food, her attention was instantly distracted. She said in a crisp, baby voice, "I want to eat spicy chicken rice! The spicy chicken you had the other day!"
She still remembers her father saying that spicy chicken is delicious!
Shi Yue: "Okay, let's go..."
When Shi Yue led Shi Qiu Shui out of the house again, Yao Dazui was no longer in the yard. He didn't know whether she had gone home to cook or had really gone to investigate the thief.
Shi Yue shook his head and didn't take this matter to heart. He didn't think that Yao Dazui could find any clues about the thief. Little did he know that a few days later, he really caught the damn thief with the help of Yao Dazui.
Of course, that’s a story for later.
