"Boss, you're here. I haven't seen you for a few days. You look so handsome again."
As soon as Xia Xu arrived at Joyoung Consulting Company, He Qing changed his usual appearance and went to greet him with a stern face.
"Do you want to lick the dog like this?"
Yang Bowen showed disdain with a look of contempt, casually picked up a few things from the counter next to him, and then followed him out.
"Hello, boss. Thank you for your hard work. Hello, brother Gou. Are you hungry? I specially prepared the best dog food for you. If you like to eat meat, I also have braised beef..."
"Fuck, Lao Yang, you have no moral principles. You even lick dogs. You are a dog licker in the truest sense of the word, right? How dare you laugh at someone who is only 50 steps ahead of you?"
"You know shit. Can Brother Dog be an ordinary dog? Don't talk nonsense!"
…
"Is this the boss of Jiuyang Consulting?"
When this little incident happened outside the store, Zhang Qun and three others inside the store also started to have doubts.
They already had some doubts about this small consulting company, and their concerns became even more serious after seeing Xia Xu like this.
Even if this young man told them that he was a high school student, they would believe him. What kind of expert could he be? An expert in playing games
"Why do you care so much? If Team Leader Luo asks us to treat you, then we'll treat you. We're not asking you to pay for it."
Zhang Qun directly interrupted his two comrades' mumbling warnings and then remained silent himself.
He knew a little more than his two comrades.
He did not forget the warm smile that made him almost doubt whether it was an illusion when Team Leader Luo mentioned this young man.
It was obvious that the relationship between this young man and their team leader must be unusual. At that time, he just thought that he might be a close friend of Team Leader Luo and didn't think much about it.
But now it seems that this is not a good friend at all, but obviously a relative or descendant.
Combining this identity with the situation of Joyoung Consulting and this boss, the matter seems to be self-evident.
After all, whether it is this store that can barely be called a company or this young boss who looks like a high school student, it is obvious that they are not experts and cannot play a big role in clearing out the beastmen.
Therefore, this time it was not about seeking expert assistance, but just Team Leader Luo using his position to help and care for the younger generation.
No one would have expected that Team Leader Luo, who looked like a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and an iron face, would actually do such a thing of abusing his power for personal gain.
After realizing this, he felt a little surprised and disappointed.
But the whole thing actually does not violate the rules, and it is not something that the team members can comment on. The best way at this time is to remain silent.
"You have entrusted me to assist in the mission?"
After having some headaches in dealing with Yang Bowen and He Qing, two of those silly little guys, Xia Xu finally entered the store and found Zhang Qun and the other two to get straight to the point.
"That's right. If there is no problem, Mr. Xia can leave with us first. The situation is quite urgent. The reward can be discussed later. Anyway, there is no way we will treat you unfairly."
Zhang Qun responded, but his expression couldn't help but show a hint of alienation.
"Can you tell me who asked you to come to me? To be honest, this is the first business for my small company."
Even though Xia Xu felt that this person seemed a bit aloof, it was normal for an official to be a bit aloof and distant, so he didn't think much about it and just asked for confirmation.
"Our team leader's surname is Luo. He asked us to come."
Zhang Qun said.
"It's Uncle Luo, no wonder."
Xia Xu showed a trace of realization.
However, this also confirmed Zhang Qun's guess when he heard the name "Uncle Luo", and his expression turned completely cold.
He was a pure warrior and did not like these complicated things. Besides, whether it was jealousy or resentment, most people naturally had a bit of dislike for those who took the backdoor.
"Can we go now?"
Zhang Qun urged.
"Okay, but I want to take it with me, should that be okay?"
Xia Xu nodded slightly and pointed at Atuo at his feet.
The official department specializing in special events asked him to assist in the mission, so he didn't dare to go there so foolishly, because Atuo must be brought along.
He knew Uncle Luo's character very well. Since he had sent his subordinates to ask for his help, there must be something he needed his help with. Involving him in some special events, or even the plot, would be risky even with Uncle Luo's care.
"casual."
Zhang Qun and the other two did not dwell on this trivial matter. They acted decisively, took Xia Xu and Atuo with them, and went out, taking a special car directly to Decheng.
However, what disappointed Xia Xu was that he still couldn't meet Uncle Luo this time.
"Where's the team leader?"
Zhang Qun brought Xia Xu to the special department’s base in Decheng and found that although all his teammates were there, there was no trace of Luo Hongyun.
"There's an emergency in the next state, and the team leader has just rushed over."
The teammate who was questioned by Zhang Qun answered.
"The team leader went alone? What should we do then?"
Zhang Qun and others were shocked when they heard this.
"The team leader has asked us to be responsible for clearing out the beastmen, and to appoint Mr. Xia as a temporary consultant to track down the traces of these monsters. As long as it does not violate the principles, all matters related to identifying beastmen will be based on the opinions of Consultant Xia."
The team member said, looking around: "Didn't the captain ask you to go and get help? Where is Advisor Xia?"
"Hey man, am I short?"
Xia Xu spoke in a low voice filled with regret.
"Huh? Are you the Mr. Xia that the team leader mentioned? Sorry, sorry, I thought..."
The man was stunned, and quickly apologized and laughed dryly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xia, you heard it too, Team Leader Luo is no longer here. How about you take a rest in the reception room first? I'll go ask about the specific work arrangements and get you the task-related documents."
After understanding the situation, Zhang Qun first took Xia Xu to a meeting room, and then left in a hurry.
But after the door was closed, Xia Xu, who was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, still heard doubtful mutterings coming from the corridor: "Zhang Qun, what's going on? Did you make a mistake? Why did you invite back such a person..."
"How would I know? I was just about to ask you, what did the team leader do to arrange it? Could it be that he wanted our special operations team to listen to the orders of this consultant Xia? Isn't that against the rules?"
"I've already said that I'm a consultant, not a dispatcher. I'll mainly follow the opinions of Consultant Xia..."
“Isn’t this just another way of saying it?”
"But that's the rule, and the whole special operations team is under the command of the team leader. It's okay for him to let us follow his orders."
"… "
The sound gradually faded away with the footsteps, becoming more and more vague.
"Uncle Luo, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, has also become a swindler."
Hearing Zhang Qun and the others muttering, Xia Xu rubbed his eyebrows in pain.
This is not a scam!
From what I just heard about their conversation, I think they asked him to come here to identify the beastmen.
If you want to identify a beastman, then identify him. There is nothing wrong with choosing him. After all, he is indeed the most suitable person. He can recognize at a glance whether it is a werewolf or not based on the attribute panel. Uncle Luo also saw it when he cleared out the werewolves in Star City last time.
As for finding a consulting company to commission someone, it is also easy to understand. Although Uncle Luo would not do anything to benefit himself by abusing his power, he would still make some slight adjustments.
But why did he come and disappear, and leave temporarily? And he was given the title of consultant and commander of the special operations team
This is not an easy job. People are already whispering behind your back before you even start. If you do a good job, there will be no benefit. If you do a bad job or something goes wrong, you may have to take responsibility, and even Uncle Luo himself will be implicated.
