After Selina finished eating the small bowl of bibimbap, she was still greedy, but her stomach was really full.
She could only lie there and watch Luke eat.
After watching for a while, she asked curiously, "Why don't you use a spoon? Are these... chopsticks? Why are you able to use them so well?"
It cannot be said that Americans are born without the ability to use chopsticks, but most of them have never used them since childhood, and it is rare for them to be able to use them well.
Luke: "Haha, maybe I was a Chinese in my previous life."
Selina thought about it and nodded: "Indeed, I know a few Chinese friends, most of their fathers can cook, and they cook very well, better than their mothers."
Luke was puzzled: "They all can do it? And they do it better than women?" This situation is not common even in China.
Selina: "Well, it seems that their family all owns Chinese restaurants around here."
Luke: “…”
Men make up the vast majority of chefs around the world, and this is also true in the United States.
It's not discrimination against women, but when cooking becomes a job, especially a large amount of work, cooking is not just a simple technical job, but also a physical job.
When it comes to both technical and physical requirements, men are of course at an advantage.
After finishing his nonsense, Luke put down the bowl he had just finished eating and said, "I'll leave the dishes to you, so you don't get a belly."
Selina said "oh" and finally got up and took the two bowls to wash.
There are very few men here who cook, and even fewer who wash dishes.
Luke cooked, so it was too much to ask him to wash the dishes.
Besides, Selena still has to wash the dishes at home.
Luke went to rinse his mouth and came out to continue checking the news on his laptop.
He just saw Tony Stark, and now he took the opportunity to see what this guy was doing in Houston.
It’s a joke to say that this playboy’s hobby is making tin men.
It was only 2003, and Tony had no intention of researching the Tin Man.
Today's Stark Industries is essentially an arms company. Strictly speaking, space technology is several blocks away from his company's main business.
What is this guy doing in Houston? This is a little weird.
But after checking some news online, Luke gave up on delving into the cause.
Tony is now a playboy, and there is not much logic and rationality in his behavior.
Luke has no intention of clinging to this person, so there is no need to pay attention to his actions.
The next day, they went to work as usual.
Today they will go to Chief Thomas' office first.
After knocking on the door and entering, Thomas had already put down his work and looked at the two of them. After a moment, he said, "I've read your files before and know that you have extraordinary abilities. But I have to admit that I didn't expect you to be able to achieve results on your first day at work."
Neither of them said anything, they just stood there obediently.
Thomas waved his hand: "Sit down."
The two of them went to sit on the guest sofa.
Thomas picked up several documents from the table, walked over, and handed each person a copy. "Sign the confidentiality agreement first."
Luke signed the contract without even reading the contents.
Selina originally wanted to watch, but she noticed Luke's actions out of the corner of her eye and immediately followed suit.
Thomas was satisfied: these two people are indeed a natural pair.
After watching the two of them sign the confidentiality agreement, he handed over the two documents in his hand again: "Sign this one too."
Luke opened it and immediately signed again.
Selena did the same.
Thomas did not take back the two documents either: "You can look at the contents now. If you have any questions, you can ask me here, but you can't talk about what happened yesterday after you leave this door."
The two of them then began to look at the two documents.
Luke didn't have to think too much about the confidentiality agreement. It must have been something done by SHIELD.
But the document at the back is... a promotion document.
Before, Selina was just an ordinary police officer in the small town, and Luke was able to enter with the green light from Robert, so he was at most a trainee police officer.
Robert took advantage of this transfer and used his relationship with a certain great man to get the two men's police ranks promoted.
Now, both of them have become second-level detectives after only one day at the Houston West District Police Department.
This speed of promotion would definitely make most police officers jealous.
Selina was so excited that her face turned red, and she was obviously drunk with this sudden promotion.
Luke was much calmer.
His real grand prize was announced yesterday, and this one in front of him is just a side bonus.
After reading the promotion documents, he understood what was going on.
The FBI sent a notice about yesterday's joint investigation of the case, and Luke and Selina were credited for their contribution.
But Cheney and his gang are just fake FBI, their real identity is S.H.I.E.L.D.
An organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. certainly would not come out to reward Luke and the other two, so they used the FBI's cover to send a notice here, confirming the two's contributions.
At the same time, in order to keep the mouth shut, the credit has to be even greater.
After all, Luke saved their people and assisted them in killing several gang members. Such friendly forces cannot be treated like passers-by by simply issuing a gag order, but benefits must be given to them.
Luke took a look at the promotion documents and roughly understood what happened yesterday.
For some reason, the resurrected Carol found the Mexican gang. Just at this time, Cheney's gang tracked her whereabouts and rushed into the Mexican gang's back warehouse.
As a result, the three parties started a fight in the warehouse, and a melee broke out.
Carol must have a grudge against the gang, but Cheney and his men want to catch her.
The gang had to deal with Carol as the attacker, but they could also see the cop vibe in Cheney at a glance.
Although Cheney and his men were targeting Carol, they could not face the gangsters' shooting without fighting back.
In this way, the three parties were entangled with each other and came to a stalemate in the warehouse.
Until Luke went in, he cleared out the gang of gangsters in a few minutes, released Carol, and withdrew with the SHIELD team.
This big mess is finally over.
Carol was fine, she was just kicked by Luke and escaped safely.
One person from SHIELD was seriously injured, but the other three were fine.
The gang members were in trouble. They were the least skilled and started attacking indiscriminately without any communication, so everyone targeted them first.
Afterwards, nine bodies of the bandits and three wounded were carried out of the warehouse.
Moreover, when such a serious crime occurred, after SHIELD finished its business, the West District Police Department took over the warehouse with full legitimacy and turned the place upside down.
A hidden arsenal was discovered, containing more than 300 guns of various types, including iron pineapples and even military C4s, and quite a few of the hard and black ones.
This is undoubtedly a major case.
