Inside the milk tea shop.
"Thank you for your hard work today."
When the boss and the last employee were the only ones in the store, the employee spoke first.
"Uncle too, thank you for your hard work."
The boss replied while looking at the document in his hand.
"Still not resting?"
At an age when he should be enjoying life, he only focuses on work except for sleeping, which is difficult for anyone to do.
Especially after he started preparing for his "intelligence career", he was never seen resting again.
"I still need to look at a few documents. It's okay. You can go back first, uncle."
"There's a loaf of bread left on the shelf. If you're hungry, eat some."
The employee stared at his boss worriedly.
"Yes, uncle."
After the last employee left work, the boss who was left alone was wearing a pair of glasses. Under the dim light, the frameless glasses looked yellow.
"Let me conduct a formal investigation."
That strange voice that hurt my self-esteem can still be clearly heard in my ears.
"You think I can't recognize you?"
Searching and aggregating information is his specialty.
In addition, he has the ability to discern true information from unclear rumors or gossip.
Searching for intelligence is like putting together a puzzle. You slowly find a piece, identify where it comes from, and then put it exactly where it should be. Slowly putting all the pieces together, you can get a complete puzzle.
This kind of information gathering work is very fulfilling.
Snap!
The glasses were casually taken off and thrown around on the table, but the boss was still not satisfied.
He rubbed his face with his two big hands, dry-cleaned it, and sighed deeply.
Then he covered his mouth.
It was as if the scream that was about to burst out was trapped inside.
"What is your true identity?"
Shi Ran was more unexpected than he had imagined.
A few days later.
It's the agreed day.
The sound of the bell as Shi Ran opened the door and went in rang crisply in the empty shop.
Walking into the dark shop, the boss came out from the back.
"Hello."
The boss just helped Shi Ran move the chair away with a stern face.
It was a little different from what Shi Ran knew. He didn't have any documents in his hand and sat opposite Shi Ran with empty hands.
"Would you like something to drink?"
“It seems the store is closed.”
"If you need something to drink, you can."
"No need." Shi Ran looked at him curiously and asked, "Don't you have any documents?"
The boss frowned and said that it seemed that Shi Ran's question hurt his self-esteem.
“Just had to use my brain.”
It’s youth!
The memory is good.
I just don’t know if I’ll forget things as I get older and will start needing documents.
"Boss, I've brought someone with you. Of course, I need to hear your findings before I invite him in."
Shi Ran thought that during this period, he should have investigated her and learned a lot of things, but Shi Ran was very satisfied that he did not kowtow or count down.
"Then let's get started."
Shi Ran clapped his hands and nodded.
"Huh..." The boss sighed and looked directly at Shi Ran. "Thirteen years old, Shi Ran, the only granddaughter of the Shi family and also Shi Chuan's only daughter."
It wasn't Shi Ran who was right in front of him, but a simple investigation subject, and the voice that seemed to be reciting information was very boring.
"He didn't have any special childhood experiences. Unlike the other Shi family members, he was a cautious person. Regarding his mother..." The boss paused. "Can you tell me more?"
Shi Ran lowered her eyes, "As expected, she is amazing. Let's not talk about mother anymore."
To be honest, not too surprised so far.
Because this information can be known with just a little understanding.
"However!" The boss frowned slightly before saying, "Since you appeared in the Shi family, the Shi family and its surroundings have begun to change rapidly. Not only have you gained the favor of the Shi family master, but even Shi Chuan's whereabouts are completely different from before."
Shi Ran listened to the boss's investigation and nodded slightly.
"After living in near seclusion for over thirty years, Shi Chuan suddenly got involved in the family business, partnered with the Song family, and achieved success. A few months later, he started his own business and also invested in charity. He was even honored at a previous celebration. Is this truly his own ability?"
"So...what does the boss think?"
"Although it's like crazy." The boss gritted his teeth and replied, "I think all this is the result of Miss Shi Ran's intervention."
Shi Ran asked, trying to suppress the smile that was about to appear on his lips.
"Isn't that too much? I'm only thirteen years old now."
"So..." The boss paused and clicked his tongue twice, "So this is crazy talk."
“…”
Shi Ran didn't reply, and then heard the boss continue speaking.
"But the information all points to you."
"Why can't I say that my father might be a very smart man? I have been hiding myself before, but I just didn't have the opportunity."
"No!" the boss shook his head decisively. "You might think so at first, but since then, the store's progress has clearly exceeded Shi Chuan's capabilities."
"What about an example?"
"After women's clothing, they expanded into men's and children's clothing. Recently, for your birthday, they released a limited edition and established a high-end production line. According to my investigation, Shi Chuan will not expand so much. At most, they will strengthen the existing foundation. What's more, the Shi family has always been a high-end brand. Why expand from the initial affordable clothing to high-end clothing?"
"Yes, the person behind this is the teacher."
"teacher?"
"Yes, the Shi family's tutor." Shi Ran asked with a smile on his face, "The investigation should be almost complete, Boss, what is your conclusion?"
"At first I thought all of this was done by Miss Shiran, and I really thought it was crazy, since you're only a teenager. If it was a teacher, it would make sense. My conclusion is that the clothing store has achieved its current success under the guidance of the tutor."
Shi Ran listened to his boss's words, nodded slightly, and then said decisively: "I think I won this bet."
"What?"
The boss's face suddenly changed.
"What you said isn't actually wrong, but it's not accurate enough." Shi Ran stood up, hands behind his back, and paced back and forth. "I've always believed you had the ability to discern true intelligence from falsehood, but I didn't expect you to believe me when I mixed a little bit of untruth into my words, and you came to a conclusion that deviated from the truth. Actually, it wasn't a lie, but it changed your conclusion."
The boss stood up excitedly and asked, "What does this mean?"
Shi Ran slowly walked towards the door and said, "This time, I brought someone for you. Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and a person walked in.
