Chapter 387 - Just A Wage Earner (2/2)

“We’re conducting an operation tomorrow, will you be coming, Mr. Xiao?” the officers inquired.
The officer had handsome features, and his poise and bearing reflected an upright quality about him. This man was no other than Qiu Yuanjie, whom Ji Siying had mentioned to Xiao Luo before. The police department had received a report that Princess Salama of Dubai had gone out alone and was now at Huayao Corporation. The last thing he had expected was to bump into the very agent that he was supposed to work with from the NSA, Xiao Luo. His superiors had long requested him to get acquainted with Xiao Luo, but Qiu Yuanjie was reluctant as he felt that the NSA’s assistance was redundant, as sooner or later, he was confident in his own team’s ability to eliminate the scourge of Xiahai City—the MLM organizations.
“Sure thing. The timing is perfect for me.”
Xiao Luo nodded. As he had accepted this mission, he would certainly do his best as that was his attitude in anything task that he undertook.
“Very well, then. Come to the headquarters at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning,” Qiu Yuanjie said.
Qiu Yuanjie turned around and joined his squad, but he wasn’t enthusiastic about working with another agency. In his opinion, he and his team were on top of the problem, and the high-ups had made an unnecessary move to involve people from the NSA.
“Xiao Luo.”
Shen Qingyan made her way over to him and asked, “What were you talking about to that policeman?”
“Nothing, really,” Xiao Luo replied.
Shen Qingyan didn’t pursue the matter and got back to the issue about the Dubai deal instead. “It’s all thanks to you that we secured the order from Princess Salama. You will get your commission for the sale, I’ll see to that.”
“Does that mean that I’ve passed the interview?” Xiao Luo said.
“Of course, Huayao Corporation is always in need of talents like you. You, and that friend of yours, will be assigned to the sales department.”
Shen Qingyan glanced at Guan Tong, who was nervously standing some distance away from them. “He dared to impersonate an interviewer and drive off his competitors. For that, I’ll consider him an ordinary genius of sorts, but the additional condition you requested will only apply to you.”
Xiao Luo knew that she was referring to the flexible working hours he mentioned. Getting hired for the job wasn’t such a bad deal after all, as not only was Su Li appeased, but he would also receive a salary every month. Giving Shen Qingyan a big grin, he said, “You’re not wishy-washy at all in your decisions, Miss Shen.”
“I’ve always been so.”
Shen Qingyan smiled delightedly and said, “Although you will be determining your own working hours, I hope you clock in daily. At least, make sure that you show up at the company regularly.”
“No problem!”
After Miss He led Xiao Luo and Guan Tong to HR to process their employment formalities, Shen Qingyan immediately called Su Li.
“Li, I think you’ve underestimated this man you’re married to.”
There was a long silence on the other end of the line before Su Li finally spoke, “Huh, he got you into trouble?”
“No, no, no, I’m not sarcastic here. That guy, Xiao Luo, he seems to have a lot of hidden talents…”
Shen Qingyan proceeded to tell Su Li everything that happened at her office.
“What, can he really speak so many foreign languages?” Su Li said.
“Yeah, he spoke French, Russian, and Arabic. The Arabic he spoke was a tribal dialect, not everyone understands it. If I hadn’t heard it for myself, I would never have believed it too. He even speaks them better than me.”
Shen Qingyan rarely complimented anyone, so for her to shower Xiao Luo with praise was highly unusual. She went on to ask, “Li, are you sure that this man was just a wage earner when he was in Jiangcheng?”
“Yes, absolutely. The first time I met Xiao Luo was in his dilapidated apartment, and he was just renting it.” Su Li felt a rush of blood to the head, and her heart jumped a beat, she began to ask herself exactly who this man actually was.
