Chen Xi originally wanted Captain Chong to transfer the bonus directly to him, but seeing that he was hesitant and seemed to have something else to say, he had no choice but to make an appointment with him.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Xi arrived at the Meet the Cafe as scheduled.
Through the glass, I saw Chongdu sitting alone in a window seat. He was darker and thinner than when we first met, but his overall face looked pretty good.
Happy events bring joy to people! Spending money is also a pleasure!
Chen Xi smiled, opened the door and walked in.
"You're here quite early!"
Captain Chong wasn't surprised at all. He looked up and smiled politely, "We just got here. Would you like a drink?"
He waved to the waiter.
Chenxi likes sweets, so she ordered a sweet macchiato coffee.
Chen Xi knew this store. She had often come here before the original owner's family went bankrupt. It was a good place to check in and have a date.
The things are just a bit expensive, I didn't expect the Chongqing team is quite rich.
Chen Xi glanced at the surroundings and said casually, "It seems that after the promotion, the salary is very generous."
Captain Chong raised his eyebrows slightly, "Not bad, mainly because your family owns a mine. But you're still as amazing as ever. You only need one glance to tell that I got a promotion."
Just at this moment, the coffee and dessert that Chenxi ordered arrived. Chongdu placed them in front of her and made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Xi didn't hesitate and directly scooped a big spoonful into his mouth. His mouth was filled with sweet taste and his mood became cheerful.
Captain Chong's mouth curled up unconsciously, and he held back the words he was about to say, quietly watching the master savor the food.
After a while, Chen Xi wiped the corner of his mouth and raised his eyelashes slightly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Captain Chong was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He looked away, coughed awkwardly, and said, "I have a friend who wants you to go see him. Do you have time?"
Chen Xi pouted and looked at me. It was no problem. As long as the money was in place, I would squeeze out time for you even if I didn't have it. But...
"You don't think you can bribe me with this dessert, do you?"
"Hahaha...."
Captain Chong laughed and explained, "How could that be possible? My friend is willing to pay this amount if you go! It will double the problem solved."
Chen Xi opened her eyes wide and counted the fingers he stretched out.
"fifty thousand?"
"Be bolder and add two more zeros."
Chen Xi stood up happily and urged: "Let's go, I have time today."
Unexpectedly, this captain was really a money giver. He gave her some money every time they met.
money? ? ? ?
Yes, money???
Chen Xi stopped at the door and turned back to say to Team Chong: "I still haven't received the bonus you mentioned."
Captain Chong originally thought she had forgotten something, but he didn't expect it to be this. He smiled helplessly and said, "Let's talk about it in the car later."
Chen Xi nodded, agreeing.
Chongdu walked in front to lead the way, opened the passenger door for Chenxi, watched everyone get in the car before closing the door, walked to the driver's seat and sat in.
The tall off-road vehicles were driving steadily on the road. Although there were many cars, the drivers' driving skills were quite good. They braked steadily and drove through the road without any drag.
After driving out of the congested area, Chen Xi felt that the environment in front of him was very familiar. It was not until he saw the iconic building that he suddenly realized that this was the way back to his rental house.
"Aren't you going to help your friend?" she asked Captain Chong in confusion.
Captain Chong looked ahead and explained calmly, "No rush. Go back and get ready. I'll pick you up tomorrow. It's a bit late today."
Chen Xi thought for a moment and didn't say anything.
"I'm going to take up my new post in Beijing in a few days. This time, it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to solve two major cases in a row."
Captain Chong thought about the reason for his promotion and felt that he should thank Chenxi.
Chen Xi leaned back in his seat and smiled nonchalantly when he heard this. "This is what you deserve. Even if it wasn't me, you would have been promoted. It would just take another two or three years."
Chen Xi was not talking nonsense. When he first met Captain Chong in the director's office, he found that the palace of official career above his forehead was flat, plump and clear, and his forehead, forehead, center, base, nose root, eyebrows and eyes were all without defects. He was sure to have a smooth career and be honored in the future, and his descendants would benefit from it.
Moreover, his forehead, the sun and moon corners, the longevity corners and the nose root are plump, smooth and without defects. His regular facial features show that he is an upright official, otherwise Chen Xi would not have sent prisoners to him again and again.
Having said that, if it weren't for Chen Xi's accurate intelligence, his brothers would have suffered heavy casualties, and it would have been impossible to solve the case with zero casualties and in such a short time.
"Thank you after all." The captain braked the car, looked at Chen Xi, and solemnly took out a card and handed it to him. "This is a little gift from me. It contains the 300,000 yuan bonus from the government and the 500,000 yuan I deposited this morning. This is what I earned over the years, not what the housekeeper took."
Chen Xi was excited, but she couldn't let anyone see that she was a money-grubber, so she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Captain Chong felt that the other side of the card was tightly wrapped. He pulled it but couldn't budge, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.
He is truly a money-grubber!
“Puff.”
"Sorry, I'm a little itchy." Captain Chong thought of a foolproof method and said, "It's not much. I understand the rules of your industry. There must be a cause for every effect. Since I became your cause, the promotion and salary increase, then this money is the result I should pay."
When Chen Xi heard this, it seemed to be true. Although she never paid much attention to cause and effect, since the other party said so, she had to nod in agreement and pulled the card over.
