“Fourth Brother, I understand what you mean... but you know me, I have limited abilities. I follow the rules, and I do what I'm supposed to do…” Zhou Fengliu looked at Xu Si and answered.
Although he understood what Xu Si meant, Zhou Fengliu was a pioneer fighter against the boss's big profits.
When he came, he said his job was to be a courier sorter, so he definitely had to do his job diligently. As for those other jobs in the world of supernatural beings... they were troublesome and dangerous, and the overtime pay wasn't much. Why would he need to do them?
As for promotions and raises—things the boss promises but doesn't actually deliver—he's even less likely to work overtime because of such empty promises...
Hearing Zhou Fengliu's answer, Xu Si sighed. He looked at Zhou Fengliu's handsome face, wanting to say something, but then silently shook his head.
Before he could speak, Zhou Fengliu, the very person who had silenced him, changed the subject and continued:
"As for work other than sorting and organizing... with my meager salary... it's very difficult to handle..."
"It costs extra..."
"???"
Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's reply, Xu Si was initially stunned, then scratched his messy hair.
They want a raise, huh...
Chapter 2, more money~
"Adding money is easy to talk about, but you need to improve your performance so that I can apply to the higher-ups... You agree, right?" Xu Si didn't directly agree to Zhou Fengliu's request, just chuckled and made light of it.
“Diudiu~”
Before he could say anything more, his cell phone rang in his pocket.
Xu Si glanced at the caller ID, then gestured for Zhou Fengliu to wait a moment before answering the phone.
"Huh? What did you say? That idiot college student turned off his phone? Where could he have gone...? His phone was modified; it can be tracked..."
"Little Zhou... Little Zhou?"
After Xu Si finished talking on the phone, he turned around and saw that Zhou Fengliu was nowhere to be seen.
"That kid...he slipped away really fast." Xu Si stroked his chin, as if he knew exactly where Zhou Fengliu had gone.
...
The golden cup is enough.
When Zhou Fengliu saw these four large characters in a shop downstairs in a high-rise residential building, he licked his slightly dry lips, feeling that his wallet was about to give out.
The store is beautifully decorated, resplendent in gold, and looks like the kind of place a gentleman should go.
...
"Senior, it's not far ahead."
"Please don't mind the mess, senior. My house might be a little messy."
"How could that be? Hehehehehe."
Just as Zhou Fengliu was looking around the Jinzun Foot Massage shop, a girl with orange-yellow hair walked towards them, arm in arm with a boy.
The girl was dressed very lightly, and her graceful figure made the boy next to her feel a little embarrassed as they rubbed against each other.
I feel like I've seen this guy somewhere before...
hiss.
This girl looks kind of familiar...
Zhou Fengliu glanced at them casually, then realized that the two faces looked familiar.
Isn't this... Zhang Chulan?
The area next to it...
Zhou Fengliu briefly recalled the original plot and remembered that the woman's name seemed to be Liu Yanyan.
Why are these two people here?
Zhou Fengliu watched the two figures disappear into the distance, scratched his head silently, and then stepped into the gate of Jinzun Foot Massage without hesitation.
Love can appear wherever it wants, what does it have to do with me...
...
the other side.
Xu Si sat on a small stool at the entrance of the branch office, lit a cigarette, and then made a phone call.
"Hey, where's that idiot college student now?"
"Rongwei Residential Area?"
"The name of this neighborhood... Ah, I remember now, Xiao Zhou is probably in that area now, should I ask him to keep an eye on things?"
"It's none of my business how I know where Xiao Zhou is... Just tell me if you need it or not."
"Alright, I'll hang up now."
Xu Si hung up the phone and then dialed Zhou Fengliu's number. After a few rings, the call was answered: "Hey, Zhou, are you at Jinzun Foot Massage right now?"
Zhou Fengliu, who had just changed his clothes, paused for a second before saying, "How could that be? I'm a gentleman... Of course I'm going home to sleep now."
"Tsk tsk, gentleman my foot! Stop pretending. I'm giving you a mission... The target happens to be near Golden Goblet Foot Massage. Go and keep an eye on them..."
"?" Zhou Fengliu, on the other end of the phone, frowned upon hearing Xu Si assign him a task, and then said:
"Hello? Hello! Fourth Brother, what did you say? The signal is bad... I can't hear you..."
Xu Si seemed to have anticipated that Zhou Fengliu would pull this stunt on him:
"Xiao Zhou, the task is simple, just keep an eye on a stupid college student... Didn't you just say you wanted a raise?... If you keep an eye on that stupid college student, I'll give you an extra 500 yuan bonus this month."
Upon hearing Xu Si's words, Zhou Fengliu, who was pretending to have a bad signal, sat up abruptly, startling the young woman in black stockings.
"Five hundred yuan?"
“Yes, five hundred yuan. After the mission is completed, I’ll personally take you to Jinzun to have some fun,” Xu Si replied.
"It's settled then, I'll go and send me the documents and stuff right away."
"okay..."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Fengliu glanced at the black-stockinged technician carrying a basin: "Take it back, I have to go now, I'll definitely order from you next time."
...
After leaving Jinzun Foot Massage, Zhou Fengliu had already reviewed some of Zhang Chulan's information and seen Zhang Chulan's current position.
For the extra 500 yuan this month, he walked towards the location without saying a word.
He had only been downstairs for a short while when he saw several men wearing hoodies and masks carrying a black garbage bag walking down the stairwell. In front of them was the girl in the short skirt named Liu Yanyan.
Tsk...
It's already failing?
Zhou Fengliu guessed that the large black garbage bag contained Zhang Chulan. He remained silent and quietly followed Liu Yanyan and her group.
The other person seemed to have noticed him, but seeing that he didn't make any move, they continued walking forward and finally got into a white van and drove away.
After seeing Liu Yanyan leave, Zhou Fengliu was about to chase after her, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, stopped, took out his phone and dialed Xu Si's number.
"Fourth Brother, that college student named Zhang Chulan has been kidnapped! Ah, a blonde girl, followed by several men..."
Xu Si, on the other end of the phone, thought the mission was successful after hearing Zhou Fengliu's report, but upon closer listening, it seemed that Zhou Fengliu had let the other party go.
"So...you didn't stop them?"
"Huh? Didn't you tell me to keep an eye on him?"
"..." Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Xu Si's old face immediately darkened: "I meant for you to keep an eye on him, so he doesn't get kidnapped."
"Oh, I know."
"You knew they were getting away, so you still let them escape?"
"Fourth Brother, you know me. If we fight... you'll get hurt. This 500 yuan bonus... might not even be enough to cover my medical expenses..." Zhou Fengliu said calmly, standing in the cold wind.
"Base salary..."
"The base salary will be increased by five hundred each month." Xu Si knew exactly what Zhou Fengliu meant; a five-hundred-yuan bonus wouldn't be enough to make Zhou Fengliu work himself to the bone.
So...we have to pay extra.
"receive."
Upon hearing about the increase in basic salary, Zhou Fengliu seemed to have achieved his goal and quickly hung up the phone.
Then, with a slight wave of his left hand, the items in his backpack flew out as if summoned and hovered in the air.
Upon closer inspection, these swirling fragments of blades, varying in size, gradually coalesced into two short, straight blades composed of these fragments, much like a thousand blades of a demonic sword.
"Let's go." Zhou Fengliu grabbed the hilts of two short blades, and his body was slowly lifted into the air by the two blades. Then, with a whoosh, he took off and disappeared into the night.
His two weapons are quite interesting. Normally they look like a bunch of blade fragments, but when Qi attaches to these blade fragments, they can become "flying blades" under his control, and can also be reassembled into short straight blades.
When there is enough Qi attached to a weapon, it can even drag it to fly at low altitude.
