Lin Tan Tan looked at this guy who looked younger than himself with a bit of curiosity.
These mercenaries were originally coming for her, so even after being caught, she did not contact these people. Of course, Ye Xiao would not agree to her contacting them. However, after such a long period of labor reform and daily observation, some of them are said to have passed the test and are about to be released.
Lin Tan Tan looked around and thought, well, there was no one guarding him, so even though this person was still wearing an anklet that was said to be able to electrocute and blow them away, he should be one of those who passed the test.
The young man pointed at the people arguing in the distance and explained to Lin Tantan, "There's a rule at the base that whoever is responsible for guarding the area in front of the city wall gets to dispose of the spoils or corpses there. We in the Zhengyang Brigade are all guarded by our own people, so the crystal cores are ours, of course. But those areas have probably been guarded by several different groups, so there's been some dispute over their distribution."
Lin Tan Tan nodded and understood, but...our Zhengyang Brigade?
When did they become a gang?
The young man said with a look of dismay, "What a bunch of useless fellows! They're so reluctant when it comes to fighting zombies, but they're always vying for the top spot when it comes to dividing the spoils. They're so bickering over a few petty gains. Sooner or later, they'll be finished. Unlike our Zhengyang Brigade, we're all united and have a bright future. This is all thanks to wise leaders like Captain Ye and Miss Lin." He turned his head, an expression of admiration on his face.
Lin Tantan couldn't help but rub his arms: "...What's this trick? Is this flattery?"
The person standing by couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Wei Jie, aren't we going to calculate your contribution points later and tell you to stay put? What are you doing here?"
Then he turned to Lin Tantan and said, "Miss Lin, don't pay attention to him. He's a slick talker who doesn't have much to say."
Wei Jie gritted his teeth. He had finally found such an opportunity to please the real owner, so why was this person so tactless?
He put his hands on his hips and said, "How did I say anything dishonest? Am I wrong? Isn't the Zhengyang Brigade united? Isn't our Captain Ye wise and powerful? Everyone else suffered heavy casualties during this zombie tide, but the death toll in our Zhengyang Brigade didn't exceed double digits. Is this all thanks to Captain Ye's excellent leadership?"
Lin Tantan's eyes changed when she looked at this guy. She liked to hear people praise Ye Xiao. She said, "Can you tell me in detail, how is Captain Ye a good leader?"
Wei Jie was stunned for a moment, then spoke up immediately, "First of all, this shift rotation is excellent. Everyone has plenty of rest time... Captain Ye leads by example. While others leave after three hours, he stays here all night, patrolling back and forth. He kills any powerful zombies he finds. It's fair to say he single-handedly handles the biggest threats. I've never met such a responsible leader... His abilities are truly powerful. He can both attack and save people. Wherever he is, the people feel at ease, and morale is boosted..."
Wei Jie kept talking about Ye Xiao's good things. Lin Tantan even dragged a small stool over to sit on while listening. He nodded as he listened: "Yeah...yes...does everyone say that about Ye Xiao?...he is very good."
Wei Jie was so exhausted from talking that he was practically praising Ye Xiao to the skies. Seeing Lin Tantan listening with such amusement, he couldn't stop, so he just kept trying to find more words to praise him. He thought to himself, "What the hell is with this face full of fangirls?" Although many people speculated that they might be a couple, this shouldn't be the right reaction if they were truly a couple, right?
After hearing the last part, Lin Tan Tan noticed that Wei Jie was a little stuck, and said with a lingering feeling: "Is that all? What do people say about him privately?"
Wei Jie wiped the sweat from his head and said, "I'll ask more about it later."
Lin Tan Tan nodded: "Okay, then you work hard, I'll come to see you at this time tomorrow."
Wei Jie was stunned. He had taken on a job, but this wasn't the job he wanted.
Lin Tan Tan asked, "I heard people call you Wei Jie? Which Wei or Jie?"
Wei Jie's spirits lifted. Finally, the point had arrived. He said solemnly, "Hello, Miss Lin. Let me introduce myself. My name is Wei Jie, Wei as in Wei Xiaobao, and Jie as in outstanding. It was my fault before. I actually tried to harm you for a small gain... In short, it was my fault. Now I have reformed and deeply recognize my mistakes. I sincerely hope I can do something to apologize to you."
Ask me what I can do for you, ask me what abilities I have, then give me a chance to show myself and use me!
Wei Jie wanted to show something, but because of his identity, even if he performed well in the zombie tide and could regain his freedom, others would definitely be wary of him and exclude him. After much thought, he felt that the most suitable path was to go with Lin Tantan. As long as he could get her favor, all problems would be no problem!
However, Lin Tantan was only wondering who Wei Xiaobao was. Was he a celebrity?
After searching for a long time without finding anything, she said, "You don't need to apologize, just do your job well. Oh, and do you have a good memory? I'll give you a notebook and a pen, and you can write down all the compliments people say about Captain Ye." She patted Wei Jie's shoulder, who was stunned. "Talk to everyone more often and collect more materials, not just about Captain Ye, but others too. I love hearing this, and maybe it will be useful for publicity in the future."
She gave Wei Jie a look that said "do a good job", patted her butt, and left with a bunch of geese and mice.
Wei Jie was stunned for a long time, looking at the two things in his hands. What the hell was going on? It didn't seem to be what he imagined. He went back with a sigh. However, when he returned to the prison courtyard, he found that the atmosphere here was a little wrong. Someone was coming!
In the interrogation room, a woman in her thirties walked out with a thoughtful look on her face. Wei Jie hurried over and asked, "Sister Ni, what did they want to talk to you about?"
Sister Ni looked up, pulled him aside and whispered, "Ye Xiao is here. He has a mission and asked me if I want to do it."
Wei Jie frowned. "What mission? Is it dangerous? I'm telling you, I've been talking to Lin Tantan, and after much deliberation, I think Lin Tantan's path is more promising. With her position in the Zhengyang Squadron, she'll likely have one in the future. As long as she values us, we might be able to borrow one."
He even raised the notebook and pen in his hand to show Sister Ni, but before he could say a few more words, his name was called in the interrogation room, so he had to go in.
A tall man in black clothes and black pants sat behind the table, looking at something in his hand. "Wei Jie, I heard you're a very clever person. You even helped Qin Han get information from people who had contact with the magic machine..." He was halfway through his words when he looked up at what Wei Jie was holding. His eyes became sharp. "Why is this book here with you?"
He recognized the notebook at a glance. He had seen it at Lin Tantan's place. It was the only notebook she had stuffed into the little hamster's space. There was a little bear holding a balloon on the cover. It was the one she had chosen for a long time because it was her favorite cover. She said she wanted to learn painting when she had time, but in the end, he never saw her pick up a pen.
But even if it has never been written, it shouldn't appear in this person's hands.
The look was too unfriendly, and Wei Jie quickly said, "This was given to me by Miss Lin herself." He roughly recounted the conversation between him and Lin Tan Tan. After listening to it, Ye Xiao's mouth twitched. Collecting the good things that everyone said about him?
It's really about what can be done.
He felt funny and a little sweet in his heart, and just looked at the boy indifferently. It was said that the boy was very lively and clever. He originally wanted to ask him if he was willing to do something for him. Since Tan Tan had already taken a fancy to him, forget it.
He said, "Since she asked you to do this, do it well and you can get out."
Wei Jie: “?” It’s that simple. I always feel like I’ve lost some opportunity.
He took two steps when he was suddenly stopped and hurried back. Ye Xiao took out a very ordinary work notebook from somewhere and gave it to him. "Use this to take notes. Keep the one in your hand."
Wei Jie didn't dare to raise any objection. He came to his senses after he came out holding a rough and low-quality notebook. What kind of person is this? He didn't say anything about this weird job content, and he was not even willing to give others a nice notebook!
Seeing that he was distracted, Sister Ni asked him, "Did he tell you about that too? What do you think?"
"What? He didn't say anything?"
"Then why did he call you in? He's already called in a dozen of us who passed the test."
Wei Jie: "..." But Ye Xiao really didn't say anything! So what did he miss?
In the interrogation room, Ye Xiao flipped through the Little Bear notebook to make sure it was not damaged. He stood up with it in his hand and said to Qin Han beside him, "Let me know when they have considered it. Also, starting today, they will provide Cai Chengliang with better food."
"Yes." Qin Han replied, and couldn't help asking, "But is this really okay? Cai Chengliang is crazy and hates us so much, so we just let him go..."
"When he returns to the capital, he won't cause any trouble, so don't worry." Yes, Ye Xiao wanted to let Cai Chengliang go back. He had actually had this idea before. Cai Chengliang was selfish and vicious, and he didn't have any ability, but he had a good identity. He was the grandson of Chen Xing.
Chen Xing was Min Yande's best partner and greatest helper. He had only one daughter, so he loved his grandson very much. However, he also had a nephew who gave birth to a grandnephew for him.
The grandnephew was currently considered Chen Xing's heir, and Chen Xing was quite satisfied with him. But what if Cai Chengliang returned? Would Chen Xing's daughter and son-in-law still be willing to give up the fight? Would Chen Xing continue to unconditionally cultivate his grandnephew?
And at that time, can Chen Xianyi, the nephew who is very close to Min Yande, do nothing?
Furthermore, if they knew that the reason Cai Chengliang was detained here was Min Yande's intention, with the purpose of making Chen Xianyi the only successor to Chen Xing, what would they do?
The fact is of course not so, but it can be made to do so. Ye Xiao doesn't mind accusing Min Yande of meddling in other people's family affairs.
Ye Xiao was not interested in the Chen family's ethical drama. What he wanted was to make Min Yande anxious and anxious. He wanted them to fight among themselves. After all, they were also big bosses. He couldn't just go and kill them. He could still cause them some trouble temporarily.
Ye Xiao was walking while thinking about his own things, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "...Ye Xiao."
He turned his head and saw Lin Tantan standing by the field, waving at him. He then trotted over and asked, "What are you thinking about? You look so preoccupied with your head."
Lin Tan Tan looked at him with a smile: "I saw you seemed to come out of that yard. What's going on? Is someone causing trouble?"
Ye Xiao subconsciously turned his eyes away, not wanting her to see the calculation in his eyes. His plan was not fair and just, nor was it grand enough. He didn't want her to know that he was also a person who would use such conspiratorial and despicable means to plot against others.
