"What?" Xu Lin asked back.
"It's nothing." Seeing that Xu Lin didn't want to talk about it, Zhou Pin didn't ask any further questions.
The old lady's screams attracted the attention of the neighbors. Although the villas were far apart, the sound was so penetrating that some curious neighbors came out to investigate.
"Huh? Someone's come to our house."
Xu Lin was looking around with binoculars when she inadvertently caught sight of someone heading towards number 44. Number 44 was the villa where Xu Lin and her family lived.
"Let's go open the door." Zhou Pin got up and prepared to go downstairs.
"You know him?"
"The head of the security department is surnamed Sun."
"Is there anything I need to prepare?" Xu Lin asked.
"Take out the sword you collected before."
Xu Lin thought for a moment, but couldn't remember when she had put away the sword. She could only look in her spatial storage. She found about ten swords in the room where the weapons were kept. Xu Lin was completely confused and couldn't remember when she had put them away.
Among so many swords, Xu Lin picked out one that looked relatively ordinary, put it in a box, and took it downstairs.
Zhou Pin had already welcomed Section Chief Sun into the first-floor living room. When he saw Xu Lin coming downstairs, he introduced her to him.
"Linlin, this is Section Chief Sun from the Security Department."
"Hello, Section Chief Sun," Xu Lin greeted politely.
"Sun Ke, this is my wife, Xu Lin."
"Hello, hello, don't stand, sit down, sit down."
Xu Lin wanted to ask, whose house is this?
After everyone sat down, Zhou Pin handed the sword that Xu Lin had brought to Section Chief Sun.
"Sun Ke, this is the sword I told you about before. Open it and take a look."
Zhou Pin was the same Section Chief Sun he had met during the previous job interview. At that time, the two were evenly matched, with Zhou Pin even slightly better. Section Chief Sun insisted on sending him to the Security Department, but Zhou Pin insisted on going to the Ministry of Science and Technology. In the end, the head of the Ministry of Science and Technology had to step in to get rid of Section Chief Sun.
Although Zhou Pin didn't go to the security department, he and Section Chief Sun became friends. Section Chief Sun often went to the Ministry of Science and Technology to discuss things with him, and the two became familiar with each other over time.
The two had previously discussed weapons during their sparring session. Section Chief Sun mentioned that he liked swords, and Zhou Pin said that he had found one while searching for supplies and would give it to him another day, as keeping it would be a waste. This led to Section Chief Sun's visit.
Section Chief Sun took the sword out of the box, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then drew it from its scabbard.
"What a fine sword! What a fine sword!"
Xu Lin: ...
Zhou Pin glanced at Xu Lin: "Bear with it, you'll get used to it."
After politely declining Section Chief Sun's request to practice swordsmanship, Zhou Pin and Section Chief Sun began to talk about other topics, while Xu Lin went to the kitchen to prepare tea.
"Project 717 is progressing smoothly, all thanks to you!"
When Xu Lin came out of the kitchen with tea, she saw Section Chief Sun patting Zhou Pin on the shoulder and saying...
"It's all thanks to the hard work of my colleagues," Zhou Pin said calmly.
"Look at you, you're being modest. Minister Feng from my family told me all about it."
Minister Feng is the Minister of Science and Technology and also the wife of Section Chief Sun.
"Minister Feng, you flatter me," Zhou Pin said.
"Ring ring..." Just as Section Chief Sun was about to speak, the communicator rang.
"Hey! I'm off today, you can look for Deputy Liang."
"Can't get in touch? Okay, where are you? I'll go check it out."
“Okay, I happen to be nearby, I’ll go take a look.”
After hanging up the communicator, Section Chief Sun said to Zhou Pin, "Zhou, come with me to number 43."
He turned his head and saw Xu Lin looking at him expectantly.
"Xiao Xu, would you like to come along?"
Xu Lin had been waiting for these words, how could she not go? She loved watching plays, so she quickly nodded.
