Chen Yao slept well, but Xu Zhi did not.
After taking a shower, he applied a thick layer of ointment to his chin and neck before lying down on the bed.
But after lying down, he kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Even though his body was extremely tired and his mind was tense all day and needed to relax, he still couldn't fall asleep.
......
the next day.
Chen Yao and Xu Zhi met at the agreed place.
Seeing the obvious Band-Aids on his jaw and neck, Chen Yao asked with concern, "Those marks haven't gone away yet?"
Xu Zhi's expression was relatively calm: "Well, it hasn't disappeared."
Chen Yao pursed her lips and coughed lightly uncomfortably.
Xu Zhi looked up at her and handed her the menu.
With her attention diverted, Chen Yao's discomfort dissipated a little.
While eating, Xu Zhi suddenly asked Chen Yao: "What do you do for a living?"
Chen Yao, who is drinking juice:?
When she was suddenly asked this, she was indeed stunned for a moment.
"I......"
Thinking of her position and identity in the security organization, and her identity as a lurker beside Zhou Cheng, and then her identity as an unemployed vagrant assigned to her by Zhou Cheng to complete the mission, she paused for a moment.
"Is it inconvenient to say?" Xu Zhi asked.
"No." Chen Yao raised her head slightly, smiled at him, and said half-seriously, "My job is probably... an assistant. And it's not quite the same as an ordinary assistant. It's more like a part-time job. The work content is generally quite scattered. I do some work when there is work, and I'm idle when there is no work."
Xu Zhi was a little surprised. He originally thought that with her skills, she would work in a martial arts gym or something like that, but he didn't expect it to be such an unrelated type of job.
So what was the kind of cooperation that she wanted to negotiate with him for when she found him?
Then, he heard Chen Yao continue, "Speaking of this, Mr. Xu, I was thinking of asking you, do you need a sparring partner? Someone who's decently skilled, has good stamina, and is dedicated to their work."
Xu Zhi quickly understood what she meant. "You mean, yourself? You want to be a sparring partner?"
Chen Yao nodded, her eyes full of sincerity, "Yes."
Xu Zhi looked at her and after a moment's silence, he said, "So, this is the cooperation you wanted to discuss at the beginning?"
Chen Yao: "Well, because I know you are preparing for an important match later, I thought you might need a sparring partner. And if I am not mistaken, your left hand is far inferior to your right hand in terms of power control and flexibility. In this regard, I believe you are also eager to achieve a breakthrough quickly, right?"
Xu Zhi's expression had changed slightly, and there was a bit more inquiry and vigilance in his eyes when he looked at her.
Chen Yao continued calmly: "If I say that I can help you with this, do you believe it?"
Xu Zhi's hand holding the cutlery suddenly clenched, "What... do you want? Or rather, what do you want me to do for you in exchange?"
Chen Yao smiled. It was easy and effortless to talk to someone who understood things at once. "I want you to help me check something."
Xu Zhi's first thought was: "Is it related to the sale of gold?"
Chen Yao forked a piece of pineapple into her mouth and nodded.
