265 The Most Valuable Way to Spend Your Time (1/2)
Whenever a new agent entered the field or gained a promotion, there would be an observation period. The examiner would be selected from the team members of the existing agents. They would be selected to assist the new agents and then assess the agent's ability before the new agent's team was fully formed.
Regarding this, Su Zheng did not really try to hide it from Ye Shuang, such was the rule of the industry. The other three agents had gone through the same thing, and Ye Shuang was no exception.
Han Chu had also gone through serious consideration before selecting Su Zheng and Ol' K for Ye Shuang. Ol' K's ability overlapped with Anthony's, but at the same time, he had something that Anthony was lacking. After this period of cooperation, after Ol' K left and Ye Shuang returned to Anthony, she could reapply what she had learned from Ol' K onto Anthony and thus enable her to more perfectly utilize Anthony's ability.
The choice of Su Zheng was even more self-explanatory. This girl had been adopted by a police officer and learned everything from Uncle Eight. Even though she did not fall into it completely, the girl had some interaction with the darker side of society and knew a thing or two about the official process. Both her skills and experience would be useful to Ye Shuang. However, her physical ability was her weakness, and that limited Su Zheng's range, but that was something that Ye Shuang would be able to cover.
Therefore, after considering everything, be it their usability or long-term influence, Su Zheng and Ol' K were the most suitable observers to help familiarize Ye Shuang with the job scope of a middle-tier agent.
”Is something wrong with your prostate? You took more than twenty minutes to use the toilet,” Ye Shuang joked. She already knew that Su Zheng did not really need to use the toilet, but she could not help mocking her—the girl could not even think of a good lie. If she did not say anything about such an obvious lie, it would be an insult to Ye Shuang's intelligence.
”Why would a woman have prostate?” Su Zheng pouted. ”If you have to know, I was constipated.”
”Fine, I can't fight that shamelessness.” Ye Shuang shook her head and laughed. After Su Zheng put on the seat belt, she turned the steering wheel. The traffic in Shanghai could cause people to have aneurysm. Whenever Ye Shuang got on the road, she would suffer from heartburn. This was especially true when she was in the driver's seat. She could not even read a novel to burn the time, so she was annoyed.
Since that was the case, the only entertainment was chatting. Ye Shuang confiscated Su Zheng's phone and forced her to talk to her in case she ran the car into another vehicle from absolute boredom.
”Sister Shuang, you can't do that!” Su Zheng wanted to cry. ”I was so close to scoring all S on 'Hardest 2'. It's so rare that things are going so smoothly for me!”
Ye Shuang glanced at the phone, and at the red light, with one hand, she pressed, slid, and moved… less a couple of minutes later, the fireworks sounded in the game, and the S scores appeared on screen.
She closed the app, and then Ye Shuang turned to look at Su Zheng, who was befuddled. ”I say, the game sure is juvenile… Now that you have the record, you have time to talk to me, right?”
”Mainly, the game is testing the coordination between fingers…” Su Zheng rubbed her face. She avoided the issue of the game and asked with energy. ”Never mind, what do you want to talk about?”
Ye Shuang tapped the steering wheel to show her boredom. ”There are many things we can talk about. For example, yesterday, I wanted to have you draw Qin Chu away, but the man left on his own, and you disappeared… Or is it because you can't do anything to him, so you decided to sacrifice yourself to seduce him?”
”No thanks, the man is so not my type,” Su Zheng grumbled. ”If for me, I'll need to find someone who I can play with and has the same interests as me, or someone who is gentle and can follow my orders, or else how am I supposed to survive for the latter half of my life? I don't want to have someone lecture me after marriage. Getting me to become the typical stay-at-home wife is impossible as well; I'd rather die than live that kind of life.”
”Oh, someone's already thinking about marriage?” Ye Shuang laughed.
Su Zheng giggled and then turned her eyes around. ”But Sister Shuang, something interesting did happen last night. I overheard a big secret…”
Ye Shuang turned to look at her. ”Are there really so many secrets?”
”He he, it's related to the changing of dynasty for yesterday's host. Isn't that exciting?” Su Zheng started with a lead and then lowered her voice. ”When the party was almost over, someone who did not look like a guest arrived. He did not enter the hall but sneaked up to the second floor directly. He also carried a box with him… Then he stayed up there for half an hour before showing up again. I thought there was something off about him, so I swiped something from him. Sister Shuang, guess what it was.”
She hated this guessing game the most in her life. Why are you unhappy? You guess. Why are you happy? You guess.
