"Just like you, they assigned me a job."
The job assigned to Xie Yin was similar to that of Jiang Shuyin: to serve as an instructor for the search team, similar to a combat commander.
Jiang Shuyin frowned: "What are the captain and vice-captain doing? I don't know what they're thinking, trying to create a balance of power?"
The task force consists of 67 people, with five people forming a squad leader. Each squad is responsible for a specific area. The squad leader and deputy squad leader manage their respective squads during their shifts. Due to the two-shift system, Zhou Qing and Ma Fuqiang have similar roles, but Zhou Qing is younger, has a stronger background, and is more capable, so he has more influence with the leadership.
The search team is different. First of all, this group is different from the task force. Not all of them are superhumans. Ordinary people make up 90% of them. The remaining superhumans are assigned to the position of squad leader. Most of them do not have management ability and do tasks arbitrarily.
If the task force is considered a regular army, then the search teams are mostly a rabble.
Cao Jing has special abilities and many close brothers, which is how he climbed to the position of captain with great difficulty. During this time, he also benefited from Jiang Shu's influence. However, the search team was still not his personal fiefdom, and he suffered humiliation everywhere. So he simply focused his energy on his family. Anyway, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, he wouldn't lose his position.
Jiang Shuyin also thought of Cao Jing: "I have an acquaintance over there. Cao Jing, the captain of the search team, is my friend Tian He's girlfriend. When you go, tell him my name, and he will definitely cooperate with your work."
Xie Yin replied, "I don't really want to go."
Jiang Shuyin said, "I don't want to go to work either, but it's also very boring at home. When you're at work, you can talk to me about work. Tian He asked me about her boyfriend a while ago, and I said I didn't know. You can help me find out what's going on."
Xie Yin nodded.
He's easy to talk to and easy to coax. As long as you explain things clearly, he's willing to give it a try because of her.
The streetlights came on, casting a faint light on his profile. Xie Yin turned his head away, leaning closer to her. Jiang Shuyin twitched her nostrils, as if she could smell his scent today, as faint as plain water, slightly more humid than the air.
The noise outside was just background music; you couldn't really hear what they were saying, it just accentuated the tranquility inside the car.
As night fell, a few stars appeared in the sky. Jiang Shu got out of the car, stood up and looked up, counting them silently in her mind. Then she smiled and told him, "Only seven stars. When I was a child, there were so many stars in the sky that we couldn't count them all. The darker it got, the more stars there seemed to be. It's a pity we can't see them now."
Xie Yin didn't understand human romance; stars were just celestial bodies visible to the naked eye. However, when he looked up with her, he seemed to find a little bit of feeling.
The two did not separate downstairs. Xie Yin wanted to go to her house for a while, and Jiang Shuyin had no reason to refuse.
Upon entering, Jiang Shuyin saw Qingwu watching TV on the sofa and casually asked, "Where's Grandma?"
"I'm so happy I'm going crazy. I'm asking my great-aunt for advice." Qingwu slumped on the sofa and called out when she saw the people behind her mother, "Father's here too."
Jiang Shu thought she was being spoken to, so she hummed in agreement and went to find her mother.
Zheng Lanxiang was still on the phone, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy, tinged with a hint of shyness: "...I haven't decided yet. He's a really nice guy, and he's good to me too. It's just that I can't say anything about Xiaoyin. He also has a daughter, and I've never met her...Okay, I'll see how his daughter reacts first. If it's not a good match, I won't be with him, and there's no need for Xiaoyin to know...Okay, okay, that's settled then. I'll talk to you later."
She put down her phone, turned around, and was so startled that she leaned back on the bed: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"Weren't you on the phone? What's going on? Did Xiao Youliang confess his feelings?" Jiang Shu led her in and sat down next to her mother.
Zheng Lanxiang hadn't planned to tell her, but now that she'd heard everything, she might as well tell her: "We went to see a performance today, and he proposed to me by the lake in the park. I said I hadn't thought about it...sigh."
Jiang Shuyin remained calm: "Get married if you want, get divorced if it doesn't work out. It's no big deal. Xiao Youliang's daughter can come over another day, and we can have a meal together to discuss this matter. Look how worried you are."
Zheng Lanxiang suddenly turned around and glared at her: "Are you serious?"
Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Really."
This made another thought pop into her mind: where would these two live after they got married?
She felt uncomfortable living together with her mother, and she didn't want her mother to travel back and forth. She also couldn't let Xiao Youliang take her away. So, she decided to buy another apartment, the one upstairs, and combine them into a duplex so they could live together. She would live on the second floor, and the elderly couple would live on the first floor.
The more I think about it, the more reasonable it seems.
The problem is that we might still be short a lot of money.
After dinner, I escorted Xie Yin upstairs. It would have been easy to ask him for money.
But to everyone's surprise, Xie Yin said, "I've used up all my mission points."
"What?" Jiang Shuyin was slightly surprised: "You only bought a car, what did you do with the rest of the money?"
Xie Yin said, "I've invested."
Jiang Shuyin sighed and said, "Alright, alright."
Xie Yin asked her what she wanted to do, and Jiang Shuyin told him. Then Xie Yin asked, "Why don't you live with me?"
Jiang Shuyin's reason was: "The building is too high."
Xie Yin pondered for a moment: "I'll handle this."
That night, Shangguan flew back from the central base and didn't get home until 2 a.m. He didn't use the key to access the elevator directly, but the elevator stopped when it reached the 33rd floor.
The assistant and bodyguard were also startled, their hearts leaping into their throats.
The door opened, and there he was, calmly walking in.
Shangguan composed himself and looked at him calmly: "Did Mr. Xie contact me?"
Xie Yin: "This whole building is yours. I want to move from the 33rd floor to the 2nd floor."
Shangguan chuckled: "The apartment on the second floor is more expensive than the one on the 33rd floor. What benefit do I get from doing this?"
What do you want?
Shangguan suppressed the restless thoughts that arose in his body because of these words, and thought for a moment: "Mr. Xie, are you selling the UO element you have? Just a little bit, and both houses will be yours."
The UO element was used internally for three years before being launched on the market, and its core components were secretly stolen by the Shangguan family.
"Here's one gram for you."
Shangguan quickly mentally calculated that one gram was enough to verify the theory, then they could apply for a patent, and subsequently attract government cooperation...
"make a deal."
