Chapter 033 I am very optimistic about you!
In the office, only Sylvie's computer screen was on, and she was the only one working overtime at this time.
Su Ming regretted it as soon as he entered the office. He should have asked the other party during working hours. Now that he was dragged to the office by her, he might be forced to work overtime. After all, he spent the whole afternoon sorting documents and even missed his online classes.
However, now that I'm here, I must ask the questions that need to be asked.
Sylvie opened the express box, took out the coffee can and poured a few drops of coffee into the cup. A large amount of coffee powder spilled into the cup.
Seeing this, Su Ming frowned. He felt that Sylvie had poured too much and it would definitely be bitter.
Then, Sylvie made a cup of coffee with water without sugar, turned around and asked, "Would you like some coffee? Even if it's instant."
"No, I'll go back to bed soon." Su Ming said.
Sylvie nodded: "You just said you had something to ask me, what did you want to ask?"
Su Ming took out the invitation letter and placed it in front of Xi Wei, and said, "I received an invitation letter from the Ye family. He invited me to attend their banquet. I want to attend, but I don't know if this violates the regulations of the Investigation Bureau."
“You’re asking this~”
Sylvie narrowed her eyes and looked into Su Ming's eyes meaningfully.
She was silent for a long time, and finally smiled.
"On paper, there are such regulations, but you can go and participate, but after you go, you have to make a decision."
"What decision?"
"You have to decide whether to side with the nobles or with the Bureau."
Su Ming frowned, realizing that this might be a very serious conversation.
"Can you tell me more about this?"
…
Ten minutes later, Su Ming understood everything.
The Ye family's invitation was not simply an apology for the offense, but also an attempt to win them over.
That banquet was far more than just a social event; it was a very serious political stand.
"If you understand, just think about it yourself and don't tell me your thoughts."
"I understand." Su Ming nodded silently.
Sylvie smiled and patted Su Ming's shoulder gently. "Relax, this matter sounds serious, but it's actually no big deal. If you can stay in the Investigation Bureau long enough, you will also realize that competition between humans is just a fight between elementary school students. Compared with weirdness, it is nothing.
Besides, it doesn’t mean that we are enemies just because you stand on the side of the nobles.
Different people use it differently. When it comes to people I own, I will use it more carefully. When it comes to people who are not mine, I will use it more boldly. It's that simple.
Xiao Ming, I am very optimistic about you! I believe you will stand by my side. "
Su Ming chuckled and asked, "Minister, is this considered a polite remark?"
"Not really. I like your reasons during the day."
"Hmm? What's the reason?"
"You said you joined the Bureau to become stronger. That's why I think you are different from those people."
"In the end, my actions will be the deciding factor in my stance. It's just polite talk after all."
“Hahahaha!” Sylvie laughed heartily. “How straightforward! You’re much better than that idiot Ye Xing!”
Ye Xing, Su Ming had heard this name before. It was mentioned by the man surnamed Zhang.
This man named Yexing seemed to be Xilvey's subordinate and seemed to be dead.
It seems that being an investigator really is a job with a very high mortality rate, otherwise how could Sylvie talk about her dead subordinates so calmly.
Here, separation and death among companions is a normal thing.
Sylvie observed Su Ming's expression and drank a sip of coffee calmly: "Then let's end this evening's talk here. You don't have to go to the analysis department the day after tomorrow. The person in charge of analyzing you wants you to go to the couple's secret room first."
"Secret room for couples?" Su Ming's face changed slightly.
This name... sounds very strange, like a love hotel. I don't have a girlfriend, so why would I go to such a place?
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Sylvie teased.
It is indeed that kind of place, Su Ming thought, and replied: "Minister, I won't go to that kind of place."
"I asked you if you had a girlfriend."
"……without."
"I see. Since you don't have a girlfriend, it depends on whether there are any women willing to cooperate with you... Well, if there are none, then I'll be the only one left."
Hearing this, Su Ming stared at Sylvie in shock, with many question marks popping up in his mind.
The other party's words just now contained a lot of information. According to the other party, if there is a woman willing to cooperate with him, then he will go with that woman to the place called the Lovers' Secret Room.
If not, the Minister will accompany him.
Obviously, since this operation requires pairing men and women, and the target location is a place like a love hotel, the paired men and women should go there as boyfriend and girlfriend. And they should go there to carry out some secret investigation tasks, so this kind of disguise is needed.
But... if it's just a task, then no one would be unwilling to do it, because it's work. Even if one or two women are unwilling, there will always be female employees who are willing to do it, so... the result of no one accompanying you is unlikely to happen.
So the question is, since this kind of thing is unlikely to happen, why did the minister emphasize it in advance, and also said that if no one is willing to go with her, she will go with him. This is simply like a behind-the-scenes operation, as if she is forcing him to go with her.
After thinking for a while, Su Ming felt that the previous sentence was even stranger.
According to ordinary people's logic, they would definitely think that their boss likes them, so they want to find an opportunity to get closer to them, but Su Ming has super intuition. He knows that Sylvie does not have that kind of intention towards him, she just appreciates him.
But if I want to show my appreciation... do we need to go on such an ambiguous mission together?
Suddenly, Su Ming seemed to realize the answer.
"Minister...what is the purpose of this mission?" Su Ming asked cautiously.
Xi Wei glanced at Su Ming with a sidelong glance, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly: "Hehe~ Let's go to the official website to check out the information about the Couple's Secret House first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. No matter what, I will tell you in detail."
Her smile was meaningful, and Su Ming always felt that there was a hint of teasing in it.
