Chapter 30: Idiots

Translated by me, edited by drpetro.

Chengji is in the third building on Caiyi street. Now that it’s lunch time, it’s really hard to find a seat in many of these famous eateries. Even if you booked in advance, if you show up late, then sorry, no seats for you.

The table that Zhang Zhitong booked is on the first floor. After sitting down and ordering a few of the house specials, she also asked for a bottle of Classic Blue liquor.

“The stewed fava beans here are a great drinking snack. The crab meatballs are also not a bad choice.” Zhang Zhitong helped Ye Qing unpack his tableware, rinsed the cups with a bit of liquor and filled them up to the brim.

“You said the job you got is with the police?” The best part of the Classic Blue series is its low alcohol content. Add on the fact that Ye Qing can handle his liquor, the two of them can easily finish a bottle. It’s just that he has no clue how much Zhang Zhitong can handle.

When they were still in school, there were rumours floating around saying that Zhang Zhitong became the apprentice of a master martial artist just so she can become a police officer later, so she probably has no problem handling some baiju.

“I wanted to be a SWAT member ever since I was little.” Zhang Zhitong raised her eyebrows as she looked at Ye Qing: “Self introduction, I’m Zhang Zhitong, currently part of the second brigade of Zhongyun’s special criminal investigation detachment.”

“Congratulations for achieving your dream.” Ye Qing took the initiative and offered her a cup. Back then she was the only one in the local area who passed the national police academy’s scrutinous checks. Now that she’s back, how could the police departments not fight over her.

As long as Zhang Zhitong doesn’t screw up royally, then she is guaranteed to rise up the ranks quickly.

Just as Zhang Zhitong was about to chug the shot, Ye Qing suddenly stopped her: “Wait wait ~ aren’t you not allowed to drink while on duty?”

“Just finished a case so I got the whole afternoon off. Then I’m off for an operation at 9 tonight.” Before the dishes have even been served, Zhang Zhitong and Ye QIng already cleared a cup, then sweetly smiled: “Don’t worry, I can handle my liquor.”

“Alright then, drink!” Ye Qing without saying another word, downed half the cup.

“Nice!” Zhang Zhitong commented with her thumb up.

When the waiters delivered all of the dishes they ordered, Ye Qing’s appetite was already wide open. The warm fava beans with a memorable aftertaste had Ye Qing constantly wanting for more.

“Oh right, what you doing now? From the way you’re dressed, it looks like you’ve already succeeded.” Zhang Zhingtong’s table manners are much more civilized. The steaming beans she picked up are first cooled off before being placed in her mouth.

“I opened a factory making some cheap equipment.” Not knowing why, but the sight of Zhang Zhitong eating, gave Ye Qing a feast for the eyes kind of feeling.

“Sorry, sorry, boss Ye!” Zhang Zhitong raised her cup of liquor again: “Come, let me wish for your business to be prosperous, and being able to become a millionaire in Zhongyun.”

“I also hope for you to be able to eliminate all evil in Zhongyun, and becoming a bane for all evil!”

“Bane for all evil ~ haha, yes yes.” Zhang Zhitong laughed wholeheartedly, and looked even more stunning and valiant than before.

No amount of booze is enough when drinking with friends. Although he isn’t intimate friends with Zhang Zhitong, her gentle, open minded personality is something that Ye Qing really admire.

With cups after cups of liquor with Ye Qing, Zhang Zhitong’s water like eyes became even more charming. Even that pale jade like face of hers had traces of red across it.

Some of her beautiful hair came loose and followed in the wake of her movements. Similar to one of the world’s beautiful paintings. Her sidelong glances lost some of her original valiance, but were replaced by gentle grace.

Envious, jealous, drooling, avaricious, ….

Within the entire first floor, as long as they’re male, they can’t stop stealing primitive, sinful glances at her, and at the same time judge Ye Qing.

However, no matter whether they’re jealous or envious, none of them had the face to try to hit on her.

Ye Qing’s expensive clothes, and the confidence he possesses, had all of them lose their courage.

Of course, not everyone came to the same judgement, and not everyone’s character were the same.

Several young hooligans, as soon as they landed on Caiyi street, their necks, like an automated gun turret, turned back and forth non-stop scanning the people on the road and in the antique-like buildings.

When their eyes landed on Ye Qing, their eyes suddenly brightened.

These guys are none other than the group that was just harassing the city construction workers, Qian Xiaomeng and fellow morons.

“Ah yo ~ “ Qian Xiaomeng stepped forward as if catching a criminal in action: “As soon as I saw your van, I knew you were on Caiyi street. Nice. Now that you have money, you’re even drinking Blues.”

“So hurry up and pay up. There are the medical fees for the last time you beat me, then there are my uncle’s resignation fees, nourishment fees, …… “ Qian Xiaomeng excitingly listed a bunch of fees, and just as he was preparing to call out a massive number, he appeared to have been electrified.

Because Zhang Zhitong used her slightly blurred, but yet still pristine eyes and looked at him.

His fellow buddies who followed in were also stunned.
