"?"
Upon seeing the clothes Tang Shuang handed him, Xu Shi had a question mark appear on his forehead.
When did you even prepare your clothes?
Good grief, they've been waiting here!
Although this place is simple, it is still the director's office, not a clothing factory. If you just casually pull out a men's uniform, how can we not tell that you came prepared?
He finally understood that all that talk the other party had given him was just a prelude to their real purpose.
So his answer was quite straightforward: "No."
"Why?"
Tang Shuang's hands, full of anticipation, froze in mid-air.
Why wear it?
Xu Shi retorted, "I'm not one of your inspection bureau's people."
"That's why we were talking about this, and I wanted you to give it a try..."
Tang Shuang remained unfazed. "Even though you're dressed up, it doesn't mean you're working for the Inspection Bureau. What are you worried about?"
"You think I'll just wear it because you tell me to?"
Xu Shi didn't give her any face, "I'm not a male dress-up model, unless you have a good reason."
A suitable reason?
Where can I find such a thing?
Tang Shuang was a little embarrassed. If she really had to give a reason, it would be her own selfish desire to add some fun to her lonely nights... After all, the uniform of the Inspection Bureau was indeed well-fitting, and Xu Shi was a clothes hanger with a good figure. Just thinking about it made her know that he would look good in it, so she naturally wanted him to try it on.
But she definitely can't say that out loud; she still has her pride.
But things had come to this point, and she felt it was unfair to let Xu Shi just brush it off like that. So she stared at Xu Shi and began to think about it seriously.
"...Your reason is it? You wait and see."
After thinking it over, she remembered something. She looked away, opened her bracelet, quickly searched through it, and then her eyes lit up. She showed the interface to Xu Shi.
“Well, according to the laws of Night City, all adult males are required to complete at least 120 hours of community service under the supervision of the Inspection Bureau, but the records show that you haven’t.”
Tang Shuang said smugly, "So, you not only have to wear it, but you have to wear it for five days."
"?!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi's eyes widened suddenly.
So you actually managed to come up with a reason?
To be fair, Director Tang wasn't just being unreasonable; there is indeed such a clause in the law. However, not many people actually follow it, and a second-generation scion of a conglomerate like him would certainly not... He's never taken it seriously.
However, not taking it seriously doesn't mean you can ignore it. Generally speaking, you should still inform the inspection bureau, whether it's to give them a heads-up or simply change the file. In any case, it won't cause any major problems.
But his file wasn't changed by Tang Shuang; it was genuinely left there in an "incomplete" state...
What does this tell us?
This means that the person who was responsible for handling these trivial matters for me has also forgotten!
Ah, how can this end!
Su Lin, you can forget about getting your salary this month! It's all gone!
Xu Shi secretly complained that it was really hard to accept that he had been at a disadvantage in his confrontation with Tang Shuang because of this.
Achoo!
Director Su, who was far away at the company, sneezed. Did he catch a cold?
“However, I know that Chairman Xu has been busy with official business recently, so the community service matter can be put on hold for now. Anyway, you've already dragged it out for so long, a little more won't make a difference.”
Tang Shuang smiled, clearly pleased that she had Xu Shi under her thumb, as such opportunities were rare.
"But you still have to wear clothes, it's a way of showing your attitude."
"..."
Xu Shi ignored her official tone, but was too lazy to argue with her about this trivial matter, otherwise it would never end... So he simply took the clothes, casually put on the coat, and said irritably, "Is that enough?"
"What kind of thug style is this?"
Tang Shuang rolled her eyes at him, stepped forward to straighten his clothes, then took a belt and tied it for him, finally putting the hat on his head, "That's more like it."
Looking at Xu Shi, who was all dressed up, she nodded in satisfaction.
Although only half of her body was changed, the effect was undeniable. There wasn't another man in the entire inspection bureau who could pull off this look; he was even more handsome than she had imagined.
Hmph, tonight...
But when she came to her senses, she saw Xu Shi scrutinizing her with a very strange look.
"What's wrong? You're really not dressed right, uh..."
Director Tang was puzzled for a moment before he realized what was going on.
hiss.
She then realized that her contact with Xu Shijian seemed a bit too intimate, that she was too close... Especially since she wasn't short, with a pair of long, straight legs, she was only half a head shorter than Xu Shijian. If she took another step forward, she would be completely pressed against him...
What am I doing?
Her cheeks flushed crimson.
No matter how high the atmosphere had gotten, she still felt that this was a bit too improper, and quickly jumped away as if she had been electrocuted.
"Your uniforms from the Inspection Bureau are so complicated, with so many buttons."
Xu Shi seemed oblivious, continuing to straighten his clothes. "Here, could you please adjust these for me again?"
"Go away, how old are you? Can't you even dress yourself?"
Tang Shuang could easily tell he was teasing her; this guy was a master of playing dumb when he knew the truth...
"I take back what I said about recruiting you into the investigation bureau. If you were actually recruited, you'd be incredibly stupid."
She muttered.
More importantly, she realized that, given Xu Shi's personality, even if he stayed by her side as an ordinary person, he would probably still cause her trouble.
snort.
But thinking about it, she felt relieved. She heard from people in the inspection bureau who had siblings that most younger siblings were like that; they felt uncomfortable if they didn't act up in front of their older siblings every day.
