“Zhang Yi, why did President Xu look for you?” When Zhang Yi returned to the lounge of the Security Department, he was surrounded by He Sen and the others. They were very friendly to him now. After all, Zhang Yi had done a great service for the Security Department yesterday.

“Captain He, I’ll treat you to a meal tonight. Let’s go out for a meal!” Zhang Yi had more than 20,000 yuan in his pocket now. 18,000 yuan was left to him by Tu Caihong. It would only be a waste if he did not accept it. He also had a salary of 4,000 yuan. Now that he had money, it was not a big deal to treat his colleagues from the Security Department to a meal. In the future, he would be mingling in the society of Beijing, so it was good to form a good relationship with the people around him.

“Yo, has the sun has risen from the west? Brother Zhang, did you win the lottery? From what I remember, you’ve set yourself a budget of only a few hundred yuan per month on food, right? Wouldn’t treating us to a meal be equivalent to taking your life?” Everyone in the team knew how Zhang Yi was, his extreme frugality. Even the cell phone he used was of an old model. He also rarely went out for snacks or the like. He was very careful with his spendings.

“Hehe, if it were in the past, I wouldn’t treat you guys. Anyhow, today is a happy day! So I have to treat you guys to a meal! Those who aren’t on duty, let’s go. As for those who are on duty, I’ll treat you tomorrow night!” Zhang Yi patted his chest and took out 2,000 yuan for the meal, feeling not even the slightest bit of heartache. After all, his monthly salary was now 60,000 yuan. Even high-level white-collar workers did not earn as much as he did.

“Tell us quickly, why did President Xu look for you?” He Sen became anxious. It was obvious that something good had happened to Zhang Yi. Otherwise, why would he treat them?

“Eh, it’s no big deal. It’s just that President Xu needs a driver, and I’m taking up the position!” Zhang Yi said smugly.

“Wow!” The security guards in the room burst into an uproar. Being President Xu’s driver, what kind of concept was that?

“Haha, that’s good news. Good news indeed. Brothers, don’t stand on ceremony tonight. Let’s rip him off!” He Sen laughed. He had long guessed it and merely wanted to confirm it. Of course, if Zhang Yi became President Xu’s driver, then his position in the company would probably be even higher than that of the middle-level managers. He would be able to be in close contact with President Xu every day, which was an extremely good thing!

“We have to rip him off!” The Security Department was a group of young men, so they did not have any taboos. Immediately, they started discussing whether they should go to Donglai Shun or Quanjude at night!

“Stop, stop, stop. I’m thinking Ah Xiang Restaurant across the street. It can’t be anything else. You guys are thinking about Quanjude? Are you trying to f*cking kill me?” Although Zhang Yi had never been to Quanjude before, he had heard of how expensive it was. If he were to bring this group of foodies there, he would at least need 8,000 yuan for the bill, right?

“Tsk, aren’t you being too stingy?” When they heard that the meal would be at Ah Xiang Restaurant, everyone gave Zhang Yi the middle finger. Ah Xiang Restaurant was not far from the company. It was just across the street. It was a low-grade place with average prices. With 2,000 yuan, the dozen of them could eat to their heart’s content!

“I’m not being stingy. I still have to drive at night. I don’t know when President Xu will call me, so it’s not good to go too far.”

“I understand, I understand. How about this, you treat me today, and I’ll treat you tomorrow night. After dinner, we’ll go to the sauna. I promised to treat you to lunch yesterday afternoon anyway.” He Sen smiled.

“Okay, then let’s go to Quanjude tomorrow night!” Zhang Yi nodded seriously!

“F*ck!” He Sen and the others collectively cursed and then everyone burst into laughter.

“Ca-ca-cap captain, to-to-tomorrow….” At this time, 50 Cents suddenly spoke. He stuttered as usual and struggled to even complete his sentence.

“Can’t you f*cking talk properly?” Liu Ershui liked to bully 50 Cents, and he proceeded to kick him.

“Wi-will we be going to Long Emperor’s Glory tomorrow? If we are, I won’t go to the Internet cafe at night!” said 50 Cents. The Long Emperor’s Glory he mentioned was the name of the sauna, and there were services provided by ladies.

“Damn, are you going for a threesome again? Isn’t it tough for you to earn only 50 cents per comment? One session with the ladies would cost one month of your earnings as a keyboard warrior, right?” Liu Ershui rolled his eyes. 50 Cents was lustful and liked to look for ladies. His job as a keyboard warrior was probably so that he could have enough money for the ladies.

“I-I-I don’t ha-have a girl-girlfriend anyway. Do-does it bother you if I fool around with ladies?” 50 Cents said as he rolled his eyes.

“Threesome?” Zhang Yi’s eyes lit up at this time. He had been in Beijing for more than a month, but he had not satisfied his physiological needs. Moreover, he had been seduced by Lu Xiaoyun last night and had a nosebleed, so it seemed that… it was time to satisfy it.

“Are you interested?” He Sen narrowed his eyes and said, “The girls at Long Emperor’s are not that good. If you are interested, I will take you to a high-end place tomorrow night. They are all college students and high school students, but they are so much more expensive.”

“Zha-Zhang Yi, Captain He is talking about the Royal Nightclub. Don’t go there. All the girls there have a base price of 1,000 yuan. It’s even more expensive if you want to stay overnight. Girls are all the same once the lights are off.” 50 Cents kindly reminded Zhang Yi.

“Let’s talk about it tomorrow night. It’s not certain whether we can go or not. Also, Tiezhu, are you alright? My attack yesterday was a little heavy. I hope you didn’t take it to heart. We wouldn’t have reconciled if we didn’t fight. From now on, we’re brothers!” Zhang Yi looked at Li Tiezhu, who was usually a man of few words. Today, he remained as wordless as ever. Zhang Yi took the initiative to greet him. This could be considered as a form of apology.

Zhang Yi was a shrewd person and knew how to interact with people. After all, he had been in society for so many years. He knew all about relationships and human affairs.

“Hehe.” Hearing Zhang Yi’s words, Li Tiezhu smiled. “It’s fine. I didn’t take it to heart. But we should practice more often when we have time.”

“Okay, I’d like to learn your speed from you!” Zhang Yi said with a smile.

After everyone joked around in the Security Department, it was time for lunch. The securities were the same as the other employees in the company. They went to the staff cafeteria to buy their own food.

Zhang Yi only half-satisfied his hunger in the cafeteria. He was too gluttonous, and he did not want others to treat him as a monster, so he only had three sets of food before returning to the Security Department for a short rest.

At 1p.m., Xu Jiayun called and asked him to drive the car to the main entrance of the hotel to go to the Chaoyang Police Station.

“Here, take this.” After Xu Jiayun got in the car, she did not sit in the front. Instead, she sat in the back and handed over a white-colored iPhone 5s.

“Ah, it’s for me?” Zhang Yi said excitedly.

“It’s deducted from your salary!” Xu Jiayun sneered and said, “Anyway, you get 60,000 a month. The money for this phone won’t do too much harm!”

“Then I don’t want it. This is obviously an older model. The newest model, iPhone 6 is out, and you’re only giving me an iPhone 5. It’s an older model but you still want to deduct my salary. I don’t want it.” Zhang Yi played with the phone for a while, then, he put the phone back to its original position. Deducting his salary? He refused.

“Drive your car.” Xu Jiayun was furious. How could she deduct his salary? This was just an old phone that she had used before. She usually left it in the drawer unattended. She had just dug it out just now, there was not even a charger.

Moreover, she was a little annoyed with Zhang Yi. Could Zhang Yi not be so greedy for money?

“Hehe, then thank you, beautiful President Xu. You’re so beautiful!” Zhang Yi chuckled and put the phone in his pocket. He was not a fool. How could he not know that Xu Jiayun had given him the phone? Therefore, his words were sweet like honey, making Xu Jiayun blush.

“If I don’t allow you to talk, then shut your mouth! Don’t talk nonsense!” Xu Jiayun replied coldly after a long time. Of course, she was secretly happy in her heart. No girl did not like being praised for her beauty.

Zhang Yi shut his mouth. As expected, he did not speak anymore.

A moment later, Zhang Yi drove to a light post and waited at a red light. At this time, Xu Jiayun nervously looked back and forth.

“What’s wrong?” Zhang Yi imitated her and looked around.

“I was here last night when…” Xu Jiayun’s voice was a little shaky. She did not dare to think about what happened last night. When she thought about it, her body would tremble involuntarily.

“F*ck, if that b*astard dares to come again, I swear I will break his limbs. Rest assured, President Xu. I won’t be sleeping for the next few nights, I’ll go around looking for him instead. If we rely on the police, who knows when this case will be solved. I’ll try and see if I can find him,” said Zhang Yi as he radiated a ruffian-like aura.

“By the way, you should stay at my place tonight. When the case is solved, you can move back to the company,” Xu Jiayun suddenly said with a flushed face.

“Oh, you’re letting me stay again? Okay, okay, that’s great. Saves me the trouble of running back and forth. Don’t worry, President Xu. I’m just a little talkative. Other than that, I’m the kindest, most righteous, and most honest person. Let me tell you, in this world, you’ll never find another man like me. Even if you do, he’ll definitely be imperfect. What do I mean by imperfect? He’d probably be missing an arm or a leg, or maybe he’s mentally unhealthy, and–”

“Shut up!” Xu Jiayun’s head was about to explode. “What do you mean by looking for a man like you? Why would I even look for a man like you? Don’t spout nonsense. Also, I’ll repeat myself once more. If I don’t allow you to speak, then shut your mouth! If you utter one more word, I’ll deduct one day’s pay. If you say two more works, then it’ll be two days. If you say thirty words, then you won’t be receiving any salary!” Xu Jiayun suddenly realized that Zhang Yi was truly incapable of controlling his mouth. If she did not use his salary to threaten him, he would probably continue talking until his mouth started to foam!

“Yes, yes, yes.” This time, Zhang Yi really shut his mouth. A day’s salary was 2,000 yuan, so from now on, even if he was beaten to death, he would not say anything else.

Vroom, vroom. All of a sudden, just as Zhang Yi had shut his mouth and continued to wait at the red light, the sound of a large motorcycle came from behind.

‘This big motorcycle is really f*cking handsome!’ Zhang Yi praised in his heart. The big motorcycle looked too cool as it shuttled through the traffic.

“Ah! Motorcycle… Motorcycle, last night, motorcycle, it’s him!” Xu Jiayun screamed, hearing the sound of the motorcycle, she started trembling in fear.

“What? That’s him?” Zhang Yi had just praised the motorcycle when he heard Xu Jiayun’s scream and saw that she was scared pale and trembling. In the next moment, he suddenly opened the door and rushed out..
