The young master knew that he had been cheated, but he couldn't say anything because he had shown off his wealth before. If he refused now, wouldn't that be a slap in his own face?
"Let's go." Qi Tongda stood up and adjusted his collar a few times.
It's just a meal, he doesn't need that little money.
…
After dinner.
The group boarded Qi Tongda's flashy red aircraft and took a ride among the tall buildings in the federal center.
It was Qi Tongda’s request.
The young master likes to go for a drive after dinner.
No one had any objection.
Ding Ding
Tu Ran, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, heard her communicator ring. She looked down and saw that it was a work schedule of the Executive Department's External Affairs Group sent to her by Ling.
It clearly says it's working hours now.
"The time we are occupying now... seems to be working hours." Tu Ran glanced at Ye Qingcai who was driving.
The car belongs to Qi Tongda, but the young master never drives himself, so Ye Qingcai takes over.
Ye Qingcai felt a little embarrassed, not knowing how to explain to her, the new member, that he, as the team leader, had led all the members to skip classes. He simply pursed his lips, looked straight ahead, and drove seriously, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Tu Ran: “…”
She looked at the others in the rearview mirror again.
Xiao Miao was looking out the window pretending to be calm.
Qiangzi was playing with a bomb model with his head down.
Young Master Qi held Xiao Miao in his left hand and Qiangzi in his right hand, and looked up at the sky. There was also a skylight on the top of the aircraft, through which he could see the scenery outside.
Zhou Ming occupied the last row alone and lay there sleeping. It was unknown whether he was asleep or not.
Among the people behind him, only Qiu Jian met his gaze.
He said straightforwardly, "I have nothing to do. Instead of staying in the office, I might as well go for a drive outside."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people who were originally busy with their own things said in unison: "Yes!"
Tu Ran: “…” How to put it, she suddenly felt that she was very suitable for this group.
She was still a little worried, "Don't we have to clock in? We haven't clocked in yet..."
"What are you afraid of?" Qi Tongda finally lowered his noble head, looked into the rearview mirror, and stared at Tu Ran. "I have people in the logistics department who are in charge of clocking in. I'll protect you. You won't be absent from work, and your salary and bonus will be paid as usual."
Tu Ran raised her thumbs high and pointed it at Qi Tongda in the back seat, "Young Master is awesome."
Qi Tongda enjoyed Tu Ran's praise. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the wind blowing in from the slightly opened window.
Tu Ran in the front row lowered her head and typed a line of words into the communicator: Didn't you find out? Aren't you going to report it? [Of course I will report it] [But I can only report it to the Logistics Department] [The director of the Logistics Department is Qi Tongda's sister] [Reporting is useless] Tu Ran looked at the lines of words that appeared and disappeared, and for the first time felt the sadness that the omniscient Zero could only remain silent in the human world.
Without any worries, Tu Ran immediately integrated into the situation and enjoyed the moment.
The seven of us walked around for more than an hour, but since there was nothing left to see, we returned to the administrative building.
The car was parked in the underground parking lot of the administrative building, and the group entered the elevator and went to the 72nd floor where the office of the 9th External Affairs Group was located.
The Executive Office headquarters occupies floors 60 to 80 of the Federal Executive Building.
There are five external parking lots within the twenty-story building, where patrol cars are parked for duty.
Returning to the office, Tu Ran took her equipment and called Qiu Jian, "Let's go to the training ground."
"?" Qiu Jian looked at her in confusion.
Zhou Ming, who had already taken out a pillow from the desk at his workstation and was ready to have a good nap, said: So curly? Isn't it lunchtime now?
Although there is no such thing as a lunch break in the executive department, generally speaking, if he has no attendance tasks at this time, he will definitely sleep.
Even if he didn't sleep, he would play games and fight Qi Tongda. In any case, he would never go to the training ground at this time.
Others apparently think so too.
They only go to the training ground on Saturday afternoons.
Tu Ran hadn't realized this yet, and explained, "The team leader asked me to get to know you better. We are both assaulters, and there is no easier way to get to know each other than to go to the training ground together."
Tu Ran has no concept of lunch break.
Since coming into this world, she has been reversing her day and night. She sleeps whenever she has time. As long as she gets six to seven hours of sleep a day, she is busy with other things the rest of the time.
Qiu Jian stood up reluctantly.
Follow her out of the office.
The rest of the people in the office looked at each other in bewilderment. Zhou Ming felt so uncomfortable. He had always looked down on Tu Ran, thinking that she was just a little more talented than him. But what happened just now told him that she was not only more talented than him, but also worked harder than him.
Zhou Ming instantly lost the desire to sleep. He stood up, picked up the pillow and threw it to the cleaning robot, picked up his sniper rifle, and left the office with a stern face.
The remaining four people were confused.
Master Qi, who was planning to catch up on the drama at this time, couldn't sit still any longer and simply turned off the screen, "Fuck! Let's see who can beat who?!"
He took his own reconnaissance equipment and left in a hurry.
Of the three people who stayed behind, Xiao Miao went to the equipment room in the office compartment with a pile of books and began to study in depth. Qiangzi also went to the blasting room on another floor with his newly made bomb.
The remaining Ye Qing looked at the empty office and smiled with relief. Now it seems that Tu Ran joining their External Affairs Group 9 is not entirely a bad thing. At least these members haven't had such a strong sense of competition for a long time.
The team members are all working hard, and as the team leader, he cannot be lazy. He turns on the computer at his workstation and accesses the commander's learning website.
Tu Ran didn't know that her casual action of asking Qiu Jian to train together would actually arouse such a strong sense of competition.
At this time in the training ground, Tu Ran and Qiu Jian were conducting shooting training.
Qiu Jian glanced at Tu Ran's target, which had all hit the center except for the first bullet, and couldn't help asking, "Isn't your shooting ability very poor?"
Tu Ran was changing the magazine and did not even turn her head to reply, "Did Zhou Ming tell you?"
"Yeah." Qiu Jian began to suspect whether Zhou Ming was deliberately belittling Tu Ran.
After thinking about it, based on Zhou Ming's personality, he is very likely to do something like this.
Zhou Ming, who was aiming at a target 800 meters away at the sniper site, touched his nose and asked, "Why is my nose itchy again?"
Tu Ran had already loaded the magazine. His wrist was steady. He aimed at the bull's eye and fired thirteen shots in a row. Eleven of them hit the bull's eye and passed through a hole. The remaining two were also within the ten rings but were slightly off.
Tu Ran was quite satisfied with the result. Compared with her original self, she had made a lot of progress.
"I've been specially trained in this area," she said.
"I always thought you didn't have talent in this area," Qiu Jian said bluntly, "Because Zhou Ming never mentioned anything other than your shooting accuracy, which shows that you are excellent in other aspects. You are excellent in all aspects except shooting, so I subconsciously thought it was because of your talent. Now it seems that you are an all-rounder."
Perhaps it was because Qiu Jian spoke very directly and did not care about his own or the other person's face, so his words of praise seemed more credible.
Tu Ran smiled, the original body was indeed a versatile person.
She? Forget it, she just benefited from the original body's light and tried her best to continue this light.
"Let's go to the simulation room to practice." Tu Ran suggested.
"good."
The two went to the simulation room, selected the scene mode in advance, then changed into simulation suits and put on special simulation glasses. They were immediately immersed in the scene, and as far as the eye could see was an abandoned factory.
The two men's mission is to rescue the hostages in the factory.
Tu Ran led the way and Qiu Jian stayed behind. Gangsters kept popping out from behind the cover and shooting at them. There was no pain when the bullets hit their bodies, but they would be forced to exit the game, which was equivalent to failing a level and having to start over.
This was the first time the two of them worked together, and their level of tacit understanding was clearly lacking.
When Tu Ran was groping forward, Qiu Jian failed to keep up in time, causing Tu Ran's back to be exposed and shot by a bullet. The two were forced to retreat.
"Let's do it again. I'll slow down and you follow me closely." Tu Ran summarized the problems they encountered and entered the simulation world again.
It was the same scene. This time, the two men entered the factory safely and successfully reached the floor where the hostages were.
The hostages' cries for help came from behind the wall.
Tu Ran used a scanner to measure the approximate location of the hostages and robbers, and five dots appeared on the eyepiece.
Four robbers and one hostage.
Judging from the positions, two robbers were guarding by the window, two were guarding behind the door frame, and the hostage was in the middle.
Tu Ran gestured to Qiu Jian behind her: I will go in and deal with the robber behind the door frame first, and attract the firepower of the two robbers by the window. You take the opportunity to sneak attack the two robbers by the window. Do you understand? Qiu Jian paused, a little confused, and finally made an OK gesture.
Tu Ran counted three times silently in her heart and rushed in. The two robbers at the door didn't react in time and were killed by Tu Ran directly. Then the two robbers at the window pointed their guns at Tu Ran.
Tu Ran rolled on the ground and rolled behind a pile of construction waste.
All the robbers' bullets hit behind the waste.
This is the time!
Now the robbers are facing the door sideways. If Qiu Jian seizes this opportunity, he will definitely be able to shoot and kill the two robbers.
Tu Ran has already seen the light of hope.
Unfortunately, she waited for more than ten seconds but didn't hear any gunshots.
The two little red dots on the eyepiece were gradually approaching her.
The green dot of Qiu Jian, representing her teammate, stood motionless behind the wall.
What's going on?
Tu Ran asked directly, "Why don't you come in?!"
"Ah?" Qiu Jian's tone was very confused. "Don't you want to solve it yourself?"
"I'll take care of two, and you can handle the remaining two—"
"Bang!"
A shot in the head.
Tu Ran took off his special simulation glasses and looked at Qiu Jian two meters away with an expressionless face.
Although being shot by a bullet would not hurt in the simulated space, the moment she was shot, the splattered brain matter mixed with red blood was a very real bloody scene, and the experience of being shot in the head made her feel very uncomfortable.
Tu Ran asked patiently, "What do you think my gesture means?"
Qiu Jian repeated her previous gestures and said, "I'll deal with the two people behind the door frame first, and then the two people by the window. You stay here to prevent anyone from attacking from behind."
