Chapter 116 I love pretty things
"You think you can figure out what a bastard you are!" Mia was practically pointing her finger at Sifeng and calling him an idiot.
Other members of the organization lowered their heads even further, fearing that the anger would spread to them.
"Then tell me what his abilities are!" Si Feng had never been so humiliated, and he glared angrily at Mia.
From the moment he received this assignment, he was actually dissatisfied with Mia. It wasn't about her abilities, but rather that the chauvinistic Si Feng disliked having a woman as his leader.
Seeing Number 23's reckless behavior, Mia crossed her arms and sneered, "Do you even deserve it!"
The two were locked in a brief standoff when one of the logistics personnel finally found an opportunity to speak: "Number 81 was covered in white phosphorus. He came in with a small bottle of medicine in his hand. It must have been Number 81 who crushed the medicine. The chemicals inside reacted with oxygen, igniting the white phosphorus on his body and causing the spontaneous combustion."
"What!" Si Feng's expression turned grim as he questioned the woman, "Is Mr. Z's ability also hypnosis?"
"Could you get any sillier?" Mia laughed at the man's stupidity: "This is clearly Number 17's style!"
"Number 17!" A look of fear flashed in Si Feng's eyes, his face twisted with resentment: "Why did he help Jiang Lin?"
"Are you suggesting I help someone as stupid as you?" Mia's mood actually improved a little when she saw Si Feng's face contorted in disgust.
"You!" Si Feng was so angry that he raised his fist.
Mia didn't dodge, and finally the man's fist slammed into the table next to Mia, the woman's smile becoming even more disdainful.
Si Feng hasn't lost his mind yet. This mission is led by Mia. If he disobeys his superior now, the organization won't let him off easily. But don't let him find an opportunity in the future. One day, his code name will also start with 1!
No! The ambition in Si Feng's eyes burst forth; sooner or later, he would reduce his code name to a single digit!
"What are you looking at!" Mia pushed away the man in her way with her pretty fingers painted with red nail polish. "Do I need to remind you of the importance of this mission? Go apologize to Jiang Lin right now!"
Mia turned around, her eyes filled with pity: "For the sake of our mission together, I'll remind you one last time: he doesn't like money, he doesn't like gold, and he doesn't like cryptocurrency."
"ZZ loves pretty things the most!"
“Jewelry, jade, the prettier the better,” Mia narrowed her beautiful eyes and revealed a meaningful smile: “He just likes beautiful things in this world…including people.”
Si Feng's pupils trembled slightly, and Ji Xingyi unconsciously appeared in his mind.
Xinhai Information Technology Co., Ltd., Hangzhou Eastern High-tech Development Zone.
This company isn't part of the Ji family's core business, but it researches the currently trending AI technology. The Ji family's core businesses have limited room for improvement in traditional areas and need a fresh injection of vitality.
However, Old Master Ji didn't have high expectations for Ji Xingyi. They weren't the dominant force in the information field, and the old man only needed Ji Xingyi to achieve some results. At least in the future, he just wanted to ensure that the Ji family's great ship wouldn't be swallowed up by the tides of time.
Zhang Hui sat on the sofa in his office, yawning and playing games. His company had tight security, so he, as the bodyguard, didn't have much to do (in fact, he was always quite idle).
Looking at the time, oh dear, it's already 4 o'clock. What should we make for dinner tonight? Zhang Hui's mind popped into his head: sweet and sour pork, braised goose in an iron pot, or maybe a whole sauerkraut fish?
Just then, the female secretary knocked on the office door and led a young man in.
Zhang Hui's eyes widened: "Linlin, what brings you here?"
This was Jiang Lin's first time at the company, and Zhang Hui was genuinely surprised: "Is there something urgent?"
The young man glanced around the office, didn't see Ji Xingyi, and smiled at Zhang Hui, saying, "I was just passing by and thought I'd take a look."
"Oh, Xingyi's in a meeting." Zhang Hui, even quicker than a secretary, started soaking in water. "He should be back soon, just wait a bit!"
Jiang Lin nodded and walked towards Ji Xingyi's desk, his gaze falling on the documents and items on it.
Seeing this, Zhang Hui grinned and moved closer to Jiang Lin: "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things for you at the company. You definitely won't get involved with any women! Your older brother is definitely on your side!"
Jiang Lin's pupils dilated in shock, but she quickly put on a smile again: "Thank you."
"Between you and me, why say thank you!" Zhang Hui patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder casually.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now," Jiang Lin said with a smile as she turned around.
"Alright!" Zhang Hui assumed they were just a young couple who had just started dating and were checking out their territory, so he didn't take it seriously and waved to Jiang Lin: "Drive carefully!"
Half an hour later, Ji Xingyi returned to his office after the meeting. His secretary brought him the last few documents, all of which needed to be signed before he left the country.
Ji Xing nodded and was about to take out his pen to sign when he realized that his personal fountain pen was missing. He frowned slightly and looked at the secretary standing to the side: "Did you touch my things?"
The secretary shook her head repeatedly. She knew Ji Xingyi's habit: apart from cleaning, she wouldn't touch anything on the table.
"Who has been here?" Ji Xingyi was slightly displeased. That fountain pen was a birthday gift specially made by Jiang Lin. He always put it in the pen holder after each use, so it couldn't possibly be lost!
The secretary looked at Zhang Hui awkwardly. Zhang Hui scratched his head: "Linlin came by just now, but he went back first since you were in a meeting."
Upon hearing Jiang Lin's name, Ji Xing's expression softened slightly. He grabbed another pen, signed his name, and then buried his head in searching for a new one. After searching for a long time without finding it, Ji Xing, his face darkening, ordered someone to pull up the office surveillance footage.
Zhang Hui and his secretary were also watching from the side. They eventually discovered that the pen was in the pen holder before Jiang Lin came in, but it disappeared after Jiang Lin and Zhang Hui finished talking at the table and left.
The secretary and the guy checking the surveillance footage both turned to look at Zhang Hui.
"No, why would a roughneck like me steal a pen for no reason? To throw darts?" Zhang Hui was sweating profusely with anxiety.
The secretary and the deliveryman turned their attention back to the young man in the video.
“No, why would Linlin steal a pen! Doesn’t your boss own all of them?…” Zhang Hui swallowed the last few words.
The secretary and the young man stared wide-eyed with curiosity.
Ji Xingyi suddenly noticed Jiang Lin's fingers in the video, his expression changed drastically, and he said urgently, "Brother Hui, let's go home!"
Meanwhile, Jiang Lin suddenly received a call from the property management at the villa, saying that a guest had come to visit.
Upon hearing Si Feng's voice on the phone, Jiang Lin's lips curled into a cold smile: "Let him in."
Jiang Lin opened the door and saw Si Feng standing there with Li Yu's face on his back, holding a gift box in his hand.
"Mr. Z, I apologize for the wrongdoing of No. 81!"
While Si Feng apologized, a provocative smile played on his lips: "To express my deepest apologies, I've prepared a small gift, which I'm sure you'll like even more than last time!"
After Si Feng finished speaking, he smiled and opened the lid of the gift box.
Inside the red velvet gift box was a custom-made, expensive fountain pen.
On the side of the pen, a string of English letters is engraved—xing.
