Chapter 179 I Want a Salary Increase
Late in the night, Shi Ying asked the chef and servants at home to prepare a large table of dishes and opened three bottles of good wine.
Shi Ming, Yu Li, Gu Chenyu and the other two had no alcohol tolerance, so they all covered the rims of their glasses with their hands to prevent Shi Ying from pouring more wine in.
There was no way, Shi Ying sighed, turned around and poured a full glass of wine for Ning Yan who was eating frantically with chopsticks.
Then he patted Ning Yan's shoulder and said, "Eat more. If it's not enough, I'll ask them to cook more. They're all chefs I brought from the capital. Isn't it delicious? It tastes like home, right?"
Ning Yan didn't bother to answer, he just kept showing off his rice, saying it was really delicious.
During the years he spent in Beijing, he was keen on finding delicious food everywhere and ate at restaurants of all sizes around the capital, but to be honest, home-cooked meals still have to be eaten at home.
Shi Ying probably really missed home, the food tasted like home cooking.
"You sneaked over here like this, didn't Gu Jiujing send someone to arrest you?"
"No." Ning Yan explained while stuffing food into his mouth, "We ran in front of him, so it doesn't count as sneaking away. Shi Ming just called him, so I guess he doesn't dare to come and catch us."
"Oh, Xiao Shi just called that guy? Did he scold him? Then he really doesn't dare to come and arrest us." Shi Ying stood up and picked up some food for Shi Ming and Yu Lidu, then looked up and asked Shi Ming, "What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything and just hung up."
Shi Ying immediately gave him a thumbs-up and praised him loudly, "Well done! That's how it should be done!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Ning Yan, picked up a dish for him, and used a napkin to wipe the rice grains from his mouth.
Ning Yan immediately stopped showing off his fandom, slightly widened his eyes, and looked at the kind smile that suddenly appeared on Shi Ying's face in confusion and surprise.
After a few seconds of silence, his gaze began to drift towards Shi Ming.
Shi Ming took one look at him, understood, and turned to Shi Ying and said, "He has a girlfriend."
Shi Ying immediately said, "I know, I know. I just feel bad for him for being so tall yet still so thin. I want him to eat more..."
"Sister, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
“…”
Shi Ying glanced at her brother, who looked calm and clear-headed, then looked at Ning Yan, who was about to get up and move a stool to sit next to Shi Ming. She grabbed him and said sincerely, "I can really help you withdraw the wanted warrants. You stole from the armory and molested the princess before..."
Yu Li and Shi Ming turned around at the same time, looked at Ning Yan, who was obviously stunned, frowned, and said in unison: "You have done this before?"
Ning Yan touched his chin and thought carefully, puzzled: "Is there? No? I don't remember."
"Yes." Shi Ying shook his hand and said seriously, "You're number one on the military's blacklist. Members of the royal family and nobles from all over the world are also shunning you like crazy. You're notorious. You're also wanted in South Africa."
Ning Yan was surprised. He only remembered that when he was thrown into the Northern Continent by Kore, he accidentally seduced the prince of the Northern Continent by wearing a skirt, which led to a slight rift between father and son.
Also, he did steal from the armory several times.
I really didn't do anything else.
Shi Ying still held his hand and said solemnly, "Xiao Ning, believe me, I can make sure you live in the sunshine from now on. You don't have to hide like a rat in the gutter anymore!"
Ning Yan looked at her blankly, his mind full of the rats in the gutter. He recalled his life over the past ten years. Living on the edge of a knife was real, as was the bloody storm, but he had never felt like a rat in the gutter.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to run around with a head full of pink hair, and he wouldn't use his real name as a pseudonym.
His only thought was to retire, that is, to escape from 735 and settle down in Beijing to retire.
"What do you mean by living in the sun from now on..."
"It means I have connections to get you a job at the police station or in a mercenary group!"
Ning Yan stared at her blankly, blinking once, and blinking again.
Shi Ying excitedly held up his hands and looked at him lovingly: "From now on, you are a public official, and the new government will provide for your retirement!"
"You can take any weapons from the armory! No more sneaking around! You can wear your police uniform, stand confidently in the sun, and enjoy the envious looks of others!"
Ning Yan lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he asked her, "If I become a police officer, will I no longer be able to steal things?"
Shi Ying: "...What do you think?"
Ning Yan pulled his hand back, picked up his chopsticks and continued eating, muttering, "Then I still prefer being a killer. Civil servants have too many restrictions, and the salary is too low. I can't afford to buy a house or a car, and I can't save enough money to marry a wife."
Shi Ying: “…”
Shi Ying was stunned for a long time, then turned to look at Shi Ming, who was elegantly eating a plate of black caviar and grapefruit curry pudding, and signaled him with her eyes.
Shi Ming glanced at her, then quickly looked away, as if he didn't see her, and lowered his head to continue eating his dessert.
Shi Ying's eyes widened in disbelief, then she quickly turned to Ning Yan, firmly grasped his hand, and said seriously, "I've made the decision. I'll marry Shi Ming to you for free."
Shi Ming looked up and frowned: "?"
Ning Yan turned around, shocked: "!"
Shi Ying patted his hands and said caringly, "Don't worry, no matter how awesome Gu Jiujing is, he's only awesome in Beijing. He can't come here and kill you..."
Shi Ming must have been unable to bear it any longer and interrupted directly: "Sister, just tell me what you want to say."
"The killer currently ranked number one on Continent M's killer list is called K," Shi Ying said immediately. "He suddenly appeared in the past month. He's been like a mad dog, taking orders and killing people all over the world."
"South African head of government Servis was shot dead at his home at 3:09 pm yesterday. Coincidentally, he was a classmate of the Deputy Prime Minister of our new North Continent government."
"Now my immediate superior has given me two weeks to apprehend the man, or I'll be fired, and the Royal Mercenary Corps, which I've only been in charge of for five years, will have to be handed over to someone else."
Ning Yan was a little confused: "I remember that the Royal Mercenary Corps of the Northern Continent directly obeys the orders of the royal family. Does your immediate superior have the right to replace you?"
Shi Ying nodded vigorously: "Yes, he is very powerful!"
Ning Yan thought for a moment and asked him, "So you want me to help you catch that killer named K?"
Shi Ying's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, stood up happily, patted his shoulder heavily, and said loudly: "Yes! That's what I mean!"
"Look, you used to be a killer, a very powerful killer, but now you've changed your ways, right?"
"If you help me take down that lunatic named K, I'll let you join the police force! At the National Crime Investigation Bureau! I'll make you the operations commander! Okay?"
This is not a question of good or bad.
Ning Yan was a little confused and dazed. What was the difference between this and a thief who ended up becoming a policeman?
A thief obviously cannot become a policeman because he cannot pass the political review.
But he is a top killer known to almost all of Continent M, and his final destination is the National Crime Investigation Bureau. And they want him to be the commander of the operation?
This is so scary.
He felt it was too scary and embarrassing to think about working with these police officers and sheriffs who were played like monkeys by him.
Shi Ying saw him staring blankly and said in shock, "You don't want to? You don't even want to do this? What are you not satisfied with? We can discuss it if you are not satisfied."
Ning Yan was not dissatisfied with anything.
In fact, few people become killers voluntarily; most of them do so out of desperation.
Among these people, 90% are those who cannot even get an identity card in the underground slums, and a small number are retired personnel from countries such as South Africa and North Continent M who are seeking secondary employment.
The latter accounts for a very small proportion, perhaps only one or two among hundreds of thousands of people.
The most famous one among them is a retired member of the Northern Continent Royal Mercenary Corps. In just a few years, he rose to the top of the killer list.
As a result, he was accidentally shot by Ning Yan who went out to buy Coke.
It was that shot that allowed Ning Yan, who had controlled the score for several years, to once again top the killer list.
Then, he became famous again, and only then did he return to Continent M to fake his second death.
The result is obvious. His fake death failed, and he was tricked by Morso into becoming Yu Chengbai's wife.
"Do you have any other requests? You can ask for anything! Money, people, a position, anything I can give you!"
"Anything?"
Seeing that there was a chance to reach an agreement, Shi Ying immediately nodded: "Anything is fine!"
Ning Yan smiled and said, "I want a raise."
Shi Ying: “…”
It turns out that you have been in the country for too long. You are thinking about salary increase before you even start working.
It seems that after so many years, cheap labor is still prevalent in the country.
