"What's the matter with a sense of accomplishment inexplicably?"
Seeing Tang Youxin running into the alley, Xia Xu suddenly shook his head dumbfounded.
It is more difficult to stuff Xiaobai with money than to scam money from others. Successfully stuffing money with a flicker gave him a sense of accomplishment inexplicably.
"Youxin is back, why is it so late today? Has the teacher delayed the class?"
"Hey, little girl, I just saw it, who was the little boy on the mouth just now, isn't he talking about friends?"
"Why, Aunt Zhou, don't talk nonsense"
Accompanied by some neighbours' greetings and jokes, Tang Youxin's slow walk changed to a trot, shyly ran to the middle of the alley, and got into a small shop with a shabby 'square noodle' sign.
This time Xia Xu can be regarded as understanding how she ate buns and steamed buns all day long. It turned out that the family products were self-produced and sold.
chuckled again, Xia Xu retracted his gaze, and he got in a taxi and went home.
...
No words for a night.
The next day, Saturday.
Since Yang Bowen had already been asked to come to work at eight o'clock, Xia Xu, the boss, naturally had to go there and open the door earlier, and arrived at the store at half past seven.
But some people came earlier than him.
Tang Youxin had already waited at the door of the store early, but she couldn't get in because she didn't have the key. She squatted on the doorstep. The cold morning mist brought her shoulders to shiver with chills in the morning.
But at this moment, Tang Youxin's attire really surprised Xia Xu. This was the first time he saw Xiao Baihua take off her school uniform and put on casual clothes.
A pure white dress that is not very new. It is simple and has no unnecessary embellishments, but it sets off her temperament vividly, just as he habitually calls it-a pure and delicate little white flower.
No, with the appearance of swaying in the wind and the toughness that seems to be weak but from the bones, perhaps the legendary snow lotus that grows by nature is a more suitable title.
Tang Youxin, who was squatting down, saw Xia Xu's shoes coming into view, and then realized that someone was coming and raised her head hurriedly.
happened to look at Xia Xu's aggressive gaze when she raised her head. Her white and delicate face added a touch of rosy, so cute that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.
"Didn't you say that you will come over at eight o'clock? Why are you here so early, and you can't get in, so you're freezing here."
Xia Xu's grotesque gesture is about to knock Tang Youxin on the forehead.
The latter immediately hugged his head and squatted defense, but he did not wait for the expected knock to fall.
"Come in quickly, still squatting there."
It turned out that Xia Xu had already reached the door at this time, took out the key and quickly opened the store door.
"Oh..."
Tang Youxin gave a 'oh' and walked over, but when she got up she picked up a small plastic bag from her arms and knees, Ai Ai struggled for a while after entering the door, and finally handed it to Xia Xu: "Here."
"Bun? Did you make it?"
Xia Xu took it and saw that it turned out to be a few buns, which she thought she had brought from her home.
"No, my father did it."
Tang Youxin shook her head, and added: "Just...just by the way, I brought you breakfast."
"That's a pity, I want to eat yours even more."
Xia Xu said regretfully, provoke Xiao Baihua who was embarrassed and shy, went to the corner to pick up the broom and mop, pretending to not hear, and continued the unfinished cleaning yesterday.
Tang Youxin cleaned up, and Xia Xu also cleaned up the internal furniture, and threw all the unnecessary metal stoves, tables, chairs and benches to the garbage recycling station of the community.
After a while, Yang Bowen joined in, and after some busy work, the store was basically cleaned up.
"Boss, what am I doing now?"
After a short break, Yang Bowen looked at Xia Xu, with a little intention to ask for it.
The reason for this is that it is not good to be idle in front of the boss, and the other is that he is eager to try his 'talent'. After all, he is not here to clean up as a cleaner.
"The main skills of a detective are detection, tracking, and intelligence gathering. These skills are very strong, but they do not require much theoretical knowledge if they are just basic."
Xia Xu understood what he meant, and said, "Of course, the skills and theories that should be learned still have to be learned. I will buy you some professional learning materials later.
But Yang Ge, you are very talented, and you are actually very good at these. Basically, you can have a good performance as long as you think hard and play as usual. Therefore, I prefer to let you exercise directly in actual combat.
I believe you should and urgently need to verify what I said yesterday and your own talent, right? "
Yang Bowen was stunned after hearing this, and hesitated: "Direct actual combat? Boss, do you mean to let me solve the case directly?"
"No, this is called commission in the words of a private investigator. Complete the client's commission."
Xia Xu corrected his wording, and then said: "Don't worry, it's not for you to do difficult and dangerous things, but for you to find someone who can find the best. It doesn't matter if you don't find it Just practice your hands and be familiar with the business."
"That's okay, boss, I'm fine. Tell me who you want to call."
Yang Bowen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Although he believed in Xia Xu's words yesterday and his salary was impressive enough, he would still be a little daunted by Ye Gonghao if he was asked to conduct difficult and dangerous business as soon as he came up.
"This person is called Zhang Jianmin. I will mark his approximate address and activity area for you later. In addition, you may be able to start with Xue Mingjie, the owner of the Mingjie noodle restaurant at the entrance of Star City Third Middle School. Arrested..."
Xia Xu said that it was a simple task for a hands-on test, but in fact, there was a highlight as soon as he came up, and he handed the most urgent and difficult task to Yang Bowen.
This is a natural scout. Even without any experience and skills, its thinking mode, ability to deal with people, and observation ability will not disappear and be born out of thin air. It can always be used countless times stronger than ordinary people.
What's more, as he said, even if he fails, there is no loss. Zhang Jianmin is not a dangerous person. If he can't find it, he can't find it. It's pure practice.
Sending out Yang Bowen, who was a novice, Xia Xu didn't dare to hold too much hope for this kind of behavior like finding a needle in a haystack. He also planned to go out to find the old man on the construction site.
If Zhang Jianmin can't find it, if he missed it, he would have missed it. After all, it's still unclear whether there is any benefit to catch. Although Xia Xu is unwilling, he is not too regretful, but the old man on the construction site should have a leak that is likely to be picked up. If he missed it, he would be so angry.
Besides, if Zhang Jianmin can be guided back to this part of the plot, finding the old man at the construction site, the core character of the second act, will also mean that he has found the protagonist Zhang Jianmin in disguise.
