Chapter 8, The Shoemaker

I can't be bothered to look, you say

Xun Xuan replied: "The morning by the pond is cool, and with the sun out, I don't feel like moving. Dad, aren't you going to meet your friends today?"

You were born, you ask me? Xun Xuan was indifferent to the answer

"How?" Li Qi asked

Mahjong friends, tea friends, bird friends

The company requires us to select a few individuals for external assignments. Captain Lin explained: The company has major projects and, when short-staffed, will draw personnel from the grassroots level

Li Qidao: "Just one thing, Old Lin, you wear it. I, as a young person, am quick on my feet." It is indeed a rather professional stab-resistant vest; Li Qi usually wears a bulletproof vest. What Li Qi dislikes the most is working in plain clothes during the summer. To conceal the bulletproof vest, you have to wear several thin outer garments. Additionally, you need to wear a moisture-wicking layer underneath. Under the scorching sun, a fitted undershirt quickly becomes soaked with sweat.

Miss Xiang has been followed by an unidentified individual, and someone wearing a cartoon mask has chased and collided with her car. The security company has dispatched personnel to stake out near Miss Xiang's residence, while we are responsible for photographing suspicious or non-suspicious individuals and sending the photos to the company for analysis. Captain Lin stated, "In such cases, the police cannot file a case; it is solely up to our security company to intervene. Essentially, it involves running errands, surveillance, and paperwork. Xiao Li, would you like to join me?"

Xiao Li, would you like to join me?"

"Oh, isn't my mother right inside the house, watching us talk now?" Xun Xuan said: "Last time I came to the company headquarters to find me, the security guard called and said: 'Xun, your sister is looking for you.' Oh... I see, you are worried that I am at home trying to seduce your wife, so..."

Dinner started early and ended early, as Lao Lin was to take Li Qi out for fieldwork. Everyone advised the two to be cautious. The two took a bus to the headquarters of the Listening to the Sea Security. Lao Lin instructed Li Qi to wait in place while he entered the headquarters through the back door. About ten minutes later, he emerged holding a black bag. Lao Lin asked, "Will a DSLR visual camera be useful?"

Li Qi asked: "What is the external situation this time?"

Li Qi looked up and saw the small underwear beneath the school uniform skirt, then lowered his head to start applying shoe polish. Lao Lin noticed Li Qi's skilled movements, clearly indicating that he was someone who frequently polished shoes. It was very likely that he had worked as a street shoeshiner. Lao Lin organized his tool bag, then took the DSLR camera, which had been wrapped in disguise, in his hand and casually took photos of passersby and those lingering in front of the apartment.

How much?

"Suspension, not dismissal." Xun Xuan reached out to touch the drink, but was about thirty centimeters away, and after a moment's thought, he retracted his hand

Aren't you able to look for yourself

Your elder brother is not that kind of person

... ...

The old man gritted his teeth and said, "Can't you help your elder brother manage the business"

Captain Lin introduced: "The thief has stolen a car engine from Miss Tiao and three pieces of jewelry from Miss Bao. He also took twelve bottles of fine wine from Young Master He, among other things. However, these are all rumors we have been passing around privately, and their authenticity is uncertain. Yet, no one has reported the case. The small reporters, who catch wind of such rumors, dare not write recklessly, as it could lead to court. If this is true, then only our affluent area, Jinzun, has not yet experienced any incidents."

The old man dropped a passport onto Xun Xuan and said: "Take it."

I am too lazy to fall out with your brother over your inheritance

In addition to security personnel, the Jin Zun villa community is also served by dedicated gardeners and cleaners. These are all grassroots workers who live together. A cleaning lady is responsible for buying groceries and cooking. The dishes are quite good, and this has been the most delicious food Li Qi has had in recent days. Li Qi is very polite; although everyone is unfamiliar with him, the first impression is very positive. However, someone like Old Lin can tell at a glance that Li Qi does not quite resemble the typical image of a security guard.

In a villa located in the Chinese community of Washington, D.C., Xun Xuan lazily lay by the swimming pool, basking in the sun. An old man approached Xun Xuan and said, "Basking in the sun during summer?"

"Um... this is confidential," Xun Xuan replied

The old man, unable to endure any longer, kicked Xun Xuan into the swimming pool. Xun Xuan turned around and lay back on the water's surface, too lazy to move his hands and feet: "I held in a pee for two hours, and finally found a place."

Why are you so despicable

You should address him as uncle or elder uncle

... ...

The female student stood up, looked at the shoes, and happily tossed down ten yuan: "The craftsmanship is good, no need for change."

Go take your mother and sister out for a break

Miss Xiang resides in a serviced apartment on the twentieth floor. This apartment is situated in the city’s commercial center. Since Miss Xiang has a formal job at a television station, she does not live in a more remote affluent villa community. Given that it is a commercial center, the rent is evidently not low. Generally, those who can afford to live in this serviced apartment are accomplished white-collar professionals

What?

Dad, let's make a bet. As long as it's my first day at the company, my sister-in-law will list a bunch of my shortcomings. Xun Xuan said proudly: "Just look at who I am, how many bad people I have seen through at a glance."

"Hmm." Old Lin took out a vest and said, "Put on this stab-resistant vest."

Polish the shoes! A high school girl sat down on the chair

Suddenly, Old Lin called out softly: "Oh dear!"

The security within the apartment is also provided by personnel from Hainan Security Company. Today, there are two or three young people loitering outside the apartment. Old Lin explained: "These individuals are referred to as field personnel by the security company, while we call them external staff. Field personnel can earn a monthly salary of six thousand."

The old man, greatly upset, endured for a moment and said: "I know you are not feeling well inside"

It is sufficient for the two of us. We cannot spare that many people. Since you are new, you might consider experiencing it. Captain Lin whispered: "Each member on stakeout will receive a daily meal allowance of 100 yuan, and the salary will remain the same. It will be paid in cash directly."

Laziness is not satisfying

What?

I am aware of your dismissal from IS Company

"I am not being polite with you; it is just too hot," replied Old Lin. "Actually, this vest is of no use; we are merely field personnel. You wear it first, and if you can't stand it, just take it off."

Li Qi looked through the gap between the female student's legs and saw a black car parked outside the apartment. Three men in black suits emerged from the car. The leader, who was slightly petite, was clearly a woman. Li Qi efficiently finished his task and said, "Thank you, it's done"

Good! Li Qi was inexplicably moved as he shook Captain Lin's hand: "Thank you, Captain." Money, oh money, when you are present, I do not feel your beauty. In your absence, I find it difficult to take a single step.

"Yes!" Li Qidao said: "I was in the infantry reconnaissance company in the army." Even if it is not, is there a difference between a DSLR and a point-and-shoot camera?

"Come on!" Li Qi said without reservation. It is indeed quite challenging for Old Lin to wear this vest in the summer. In addition to these two items, there is also a security electric shock ring. It resembles a finger sleeve, but it is not made entirely of metal; rather, it has two discharge holes at the front that release electric current when striking a person's body. It is not high-tech; you can buy it online for a few hundred yuan. Li Qi's standard weaponry includes an M4, dual handguns, and an electric shock gun. The team is equipped with explosive nets, sniper rifles, and infrared imaging radar. It is not high-tech; you can buy it online for a few hundred yuan.

Besides these, additional equipment is provided based on individual skills, such as tools needed to open car doors, which ensures that in the event of a sudden attack, the target can escape in any vehicle. Some small items can be more effective than firearms.

Hello! Captain Lin gestured to Li to answer the phone, and then said: "Understood, yes!"
