Chapter 18 Entrustment
While Su Ming was speechless, Qiao Ai was also speechless, and she felt a deep sense of powerlessness about her companions' IQ.
"Xiaodao! You idiot! I told you to slash..." Maybe she felt that Xiaodao's idiot behavior made her too embarrassed. Her anger towards Su Ming temporarily moved to Xiaodao, and she kept shaking out a lot of rebukes.
However, it seemed that the curiosity that had been left with little outside world was consumed by the actions just now. Xiaodao walked to his small corner in three or two steps, sat down cross-legged, and began to polish the steel knife in his hand again. He looked completely deaf about Qiao Ai's words.
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry..." First, I was so angry that I was very angry by Su Ming, and then I was helpless by her subordinates. This dismal reality was placed in front of Qiao Ai, which seemed to break the girl's fragile nerves. The little head that was suppressed by Xia Xi was almost stuck to the ground, as if she could not detect any pain. She "bang bang-" hit the floor, complaining indignantly, and had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only gain some sense of balance from herself through self-abuse.
The scene in front of her was a bit too cruel, which made Su Ming couldn't help but wonder whether he should stop her and apologize by the way, but just hesitation was no longer needed.
"Be good--" Xia Xi stretched out her hand and coaxed her puppy to touch Qiao Ai's little head. She said a word in a soft and comforting voice, but it was unexpectedly effective.
"Woo--Sister Xia Xi..." The moment when Xia Xi let go of her, Qiao Ai rushed into Xia Xi's arms like a bird returning to her nest. From the perspective of Su Ming's bystander, this sincere feeling came a little deeper than that of an ordinary mother and daughter.
Although the four people in front of me don’t look very much like the earthlings, and although the strange performances that followed one after another seemed to be more dramatic performances, I had an inexplicable feeling of warmth, and it was always a bit regretful to leave like this.
Unconsciously, as if he was finding a reason for staying for himself, Su Ming couldn't help asking what he thought was presumptuous: "If it's convenient, I can explain what the two million mentioned before meant? It's a bit embarrassed to say that at this stage, I still care about the profits more."
Su Ming bluntly expressed his purpose. In his opinion, such an approach can make communication between the two parties more efficient.
"Oh? You heard what you said just now?" Xia Xi did not rush to answer Su Ming's question, but instead raised her head with interest and looked directly at Su Ming. After receiving a positive answer, the smile on her face looked even brighter.
"In fact, it's not something worth keeping confidential." Xia Xi did not hesitate at all. While Su Ming nodded, he explained to him, "The Ministry of Defense sent invitation letters to the entire Shidu Garage Area yesterday, and it is tentatively scheduled to hold a security meeting at the General Office of the Ministry of Defense tomorrow afternoon. At that time, a commission with a bounty of up to two million will be issued. However, the security companies participating in the meeting will have to send at least five more members of the task force, and the situation here... you should know too!"
Although the bounty of two million is not the highest ever, it is definitely a considerable income for any security company, not to mention a small company like Black Flame that cannot even be used on the table. The minimum configuration of the five task force members fully explains why Qiao Ai and the others were eager to join.
But, just say this kind of thing! Su Ming couldn't figure out what these treacherous people were thinking.
"So, what is the content of the commission?" Su Ming did not respond immediately, but added another question and continued to ask.
This attitude has won Xia Xi's recognition look. When he is in urgent need of money, facing the temptation of two million yuan in huge sums of money, he can still maintain cautious and rational thinking, which is indeed a calm personality.
"I'm sorry, we also want to know about this. The Ministry of Defense did not release it immediately. It seems that the content of the commission may involve some confidentiality in it." Xia Xi explained patiently, then paused for a moment and continued to say to Su Ming, "If you are interested in participating in the action, regarding the distribution of income..."
Xia Xi hesitated for a moment, but did not speak out on his own initiative, but gently shook Qiao Ai in her arms. Speaking of which, the person in charge of the Heiyan Security Company was still Qiao Ai. In such matters, at least she should respect her opinions.
"Huh? What's wrong, Sister Xia Xi-" Qiao Ai came out of her arms with a blank look on her face. After all, when Su Ming and Xia Xi were negotiating, she didn't listen to a word.
"When it comes to the issue of income distribution, if Mr. Su Ming is willing to participate in the action..." As if Qiao Ai's condition was already numb, Xia Xi calmly repeated what he said just now.
"Hey...hehe...two million! My two million! Ah--" Qiao Ai, who was attracted by the word "reward" in Xia Xi's mouth and fell into a strange fantasy again, let out a soft cry after the soft flesh on his slender waist was twisted by 180°, and then he came back to his senses.
"Cough--if you participate, the commission will be completed, I will give it to you..." Finally remembering her position as the Black Flame Security Manager, she coughed twice, looked right, stared at Su Ming for a while, then raised her chin, stretched out one hand in a very atmospheric manner, and five green jade-like fingers stood up in front of Su Ming.
For a moment, Su Ming felt that he had to correct his understanding of this girl. He probably belonged to the kind of person who was greedy but not stingy and was particularly considerate to his subordinates. But from Xia Xi's slightly surprised expression, it seemed that he had misunderstood something...
"Half-in--" Qiao Ai said very neatly, his voice was particularly loud, and made Su Ming question his values with confidence, but in the end he had to doubt whether this girl with thick lines was still ashamed.
"Bang--" A crisp slap helped Su Ming complete the complaints sharply, and he no longer needed to speak.
Xia Xi hugged her arms and frowned slightly. The gentle smile that had been hanging on her face became stiff. Her fair and delicate skin made the slender veins that were beating on her forehead more obvious, which indeed showed her headache at the moment.
"Sister Xia Xi..."
When asked about the reason, after a glance from Xia Xi, the excess saliva that was secreted with tension was swallowed back into Qiao Ai's stomach.
"Kneeling—Sitting—" Xia Xi narrowed her eyes, and there was a rare reproachful tone in her mouth.
"Yes..." At this moment, Qiao Ai, who even felt a little unnecessary when he breathed, had no unnecessary movements, quickly put his legs in place and sat upright on it. He was so good that he was so good that he was.
However, it seems that it is not the time to deal with her now. Xia Xi turned her head and spoke to Su Ming: "For the sake of the first cooperation, if Mr. Su Ming does play a sufficient role in the mission, then the reward will be given to you 30%..."
"Three...30%!" Qiao Ai, who had already knelt down, seemed to be still dissatisfied with his situation and screamed out.
Xia Xi turned her head and looked, from Su Ming's perspective, it was impossible to see it intuitively, but in short, Qiao Ai's reaction in the next second was - pressing her fingers against the ground, leaning over and buzzing her head, and muttering loudly: "I'm sorry, I'm wrong! I'm sorry, I'm wrong..."
Looking back, Xia Xi's face had a smile that made people feel like spring breeze. But for some reason, Su Ming felt chilling.
"I don't know if Mr. Su Ming is satisfied with this plan?"
"No problem, I accept it!" Su Ming wiped the cold sweat that did not exist on his forehead, which was to relieve the inexplicable psychological pressure. He raised his hands and simply agreed to the proposal. Then he stretched out one hand and spoke to Xia Xi, "Then, please take care of me for the time being, get to know me again, and call me Su Ming."
"Xia Xi——" Xia Xi returned the gift politely and pointed to the other three people and introduced, "Ahu, Xiaodao, and Qiao Ai..."
"Ah---arrived!"
Qiao Ai, who was keeping her forehead against the ground, heard that she was named, and instantly felt like a frightened cat, almost even her hair was standing up, and she responded in panic.
Completely ignoring her neurotic reaction, Xia Xi continued, "Although I don't know if it's its real name, everyone calls each other that. In short - welcome to join the Black Flame Police!"
"Honored!"
...
In short, the decision to join Black Flame has been temporarily finalized.
For most of the remaining time during the day, Su Ming was just learning about civilian security with Xia Xi, and it seemed that she had asked Su Ming's blessing, which made Xia Xi not have time to pay more attention to her Qiao Ai, so her favorability increased a lot in an instant. Of course, it was also possible that she was not as vengeful as a character!
As new members join this grand event, they naturally proposed to go out for dinner. Although they were a little concerned about Su Su, it was an invitation to the first party after all, and Su Ming himself was still the protagonist, so it was naturally not easy to refuse.
At the wine table, Ah Hu still had that shy personality and didn't even want to drink too much wine. Although Xiaodao refused to anyone poured into the cup, he still didn't say a word and took out his steel knife from time to time to time and sharpen it.
On the contrary, the two girls were unexpectedly let go, and Su Ming was a little dizzy when they were drunk. A few completely different people formed the environment but were somewhat harmonious.
But it is precisely because of this that people are most likely to ignore the passage of time. Therefore, when Su Ming noticed that he only told a few people's numbers and the newly purchased mobile phone vibrated, he had a bad premonition.
"I won't come back! I'll die to show you!"
