Chapter 163: Xiaoqin
Now that he had a plan, Asan was waiting for an opportunity to "approach" Xiaoqin.
When it comes to opportunities, some people can only wait, but some people will actively create them - the young men on the street put on clean clothes, grease their hair, and go to the hairdressing room whenever they have time. They carry two bottles of drinks and buy an ice cream to get close to Xiaoqin. Everyone understands the principle of casting a wide net. If successful, it's an achievement , and if unsuccessful, it's not shameful, because face is worthless anyway.
For the first time, Hua Yingxiong
Zhang Nianzu was not in a very relaxed mood either. The cart of things parked at the door was like an invisible chain trapping him here. He just hoped that this matter would have a result as soon as possible.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Zhang Nianzu received a text message from Xiaoqin next door: It's almost time to get off work, please take action immediately!
After some speculation, everyone guessed that this was Xiaoqin's distress signal: she wanted the chosen person to quickly date her. Because Zhang Nianzu also saw that Hua Yingxiong was on the verge of collapse at any time. If this continued, he would probably fire Xiaoqin to eliminate the root of the problem...
All the customers in the hair salon left, and Xiaoqin began to finish her work. The young men's eyes lit up. Xiaoqin hadn't eaten dinner yet, so this was a great opportunity. Then the young male cats on the whole street were eager to make a move. Some licked their fur to make it shiny, and some flirted. They stood guard on the path that Xiaoqin had to pass, waiting for an opportunity.
Zhang Nianzu said, "Quick, Ah San, it's your turn."
Ah San stared blankly and said, "What should I say?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "Invite her to dinner."
Asan said shyly, " I've never eaten with a woman either." When the time came, he seemed to back off a little.
Ah Si pushed him on the back and said, "The referee is one of our own, what are you afraid of?"
Ah San was helpless. He poked his head into the barber shop and said to Xiaoqin who was sweeping the floor: "Xiaoqin, will you eat with us tonight?"
Xiaoqin raised her head and smiled naturally, "Okay."
The young men were furious when they heard this. Why? We didn't work all afternoon and just sent food and drinks in. Why did you come out and take over?
A Bao also wondered, "Xiao Qin, we are going to hold a welcome banquet for you, why don't you eat with us first?"
Xiaoqin said casually: "But I promised them this afternoon."
The young men suddenly realized and cast complaining eyes towards Zhang Nianzu. If there is a car on this street, it will be repaired by your family first. Now there is a girl, you have to ask your employees to seek benefits first. But there is nothing you can do about it. Who let others take the initiative?
A Bao said angrily, "Oh, let's do it another day."
After Xiaoqin finished cleaning, Zhang Nianzu winked at everyone and said, "Let's go together." Asan did not handle the matter very well, as he included everyone with the word "we". It would be too obvious to let him and Xiaoqin act alone now, so he could only go with the flow.
Li Changgui said, "You young people go ahead and bring me something when you come back." He wanted to stay and look after the house.
A few people walked out of the street corner. Xiaoqin looked at Ah San and asked, "Did they choose you?"
Ah San said woodenly, "Yeah." He pointed at Ah Si and said to Xiao Qin, "Anyway, it's always us two who get into trouble. Next time it will be his turn."
Xiaoqin: “…”
Lei Tingting patted Ah San and interrupted with a smile: "What are we going to eat?"
Xiaoqin said: "Don't go too far, the main purpose is to get to know each other better."
Finally, everyone walked to the barbecue buffet two streets away.
There were not many customers in the restaurant at that time. Zhang Nianzu and his friends sat at the only round table in the corner for space and quietness. They quickly took the meat and vegetables, sprinkled oil on the chopping board, and sat down.
It was their first time meeting Xiaoqin, and since they were going to carry out a dangerous mission together, they had an invisible layer of comradeship. However, they were complete strangers after all, so the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Xiaoqin smiled and said, "Why don't we all introduce ourselves first." She poked Ah San and teased, "You will be my boyfriend, you speak first."
"My name is Li Asan." After saying this, Asan went on eating meat.
Xiaoqin looked at Ah Si hesitantly and said, "Then your name is Li Ah--" She knew that the two were cousins.
"Four." Ah Si glared at Ah San, disliking him for not setting a good example.
At this time, Zhang Nianzu's cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and said to Xiaoqin, "Unknown number."
Xiaoqin immediately stopped joking, put on her headset, turned on her mobile phone, raised three fingers to Zhang Nianzu, then bent them one by one, and finally made an OK gesture.
Zhang Nianzu pressed the answer button, and then he spoke a few words to the other party, and his expression became a little bit amusing.
Xiaoqin listened for a while, took off her headset, and revealed the spoiler to everyone: "He sells insurance."
"I don't need to thank you." Zhang Nianzu hung up the phone and complained to Xiaoqin, "Personal information leakage has become a common problem now. Is there nothing you police can do?"
Xiaoqin shrugged.
Lei Tingting said to Xiaoqin sincerely: "What you did just now was so cool." She felt that this girl was very cool and had the sharpness that was unique to men.
Xiaoqin said self-deprecatingly: "In our line of work, we must be quick-witted and quick-handed, or else someone will die."
Zhang Nianzu said with a smile: "How old are you? You speak so old-fashionedly."
Xiaoqin asked, "How old do you think I am?"
Zhang Nianzu casually said: "You... can have 20?"
Xiaoqin said: "I'm 25."
This time everyone at the table was surprised. Xiaoqin looked only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she had a petite figure. Coupled with the timid expression on her face during the day, which showed that she had just entered society, she looked even younger.
Zhang Nianzu muttered, "One year older than me?"
Lei Tingting grabbed Xiaoqin's hand and shook it, asking, "What brand of cosmetics do you usually use?"
Xiaoqin said, "How can we have time to put on makeup?"
"So how did you do that?"
Xiaoqin said calmly, "You all thought I just graduated, right? Just because I don't wear makeup on my face doesn't mean I can't disguise myself through clothes, expressions, and language. It's all for the mission. Sometimes you need to pretend to be a young woman, so you have to change your routine. I've been in the industry for six years."
Zhang Nianzu sighed, "Are you an old detective?"
Xiaoqin said: "Police, especially those of us who do criminal investigation, are not like what is shown on TV, where we just pull out our guns and yell. Criminals today are much more advanced in terms of technology and equipment than in the past. We cannot fall behind. We have to learn psychology, makeup, and behavioral logic."
Lei Tingting said with some hesitation: "It seems that if you want to stay young forever, you can't just rely on cosmetics, you have to keep up with the times."
Xiaoqin laughed and snapped her fingers.
