After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1172: I Hope She Can’t Get Married
As Li Yuanming had predicted, two days later, Zhouzhou saw the people he had trained. After confirming that they had learned the necessary skills, Zhouzhou took them to the Special Action Office.
"You all stay here for now, get a feel for things, and you can ask others about their experiences. In a few days, I'll assign you to specific locations."
One person spoke up, "Director, does this mean we're not staying in Jing City?"
"Correct," Zhouzhou nodded. "I'm planning to send you to other places. Although their economy isn't as developed as Jing City, the more underdeveloped regions tend to trust our work more, and things go much smoother there. Don't worry about the pay, it'll be the same as Jing City, and the cost of living is lower, so the overall happiness will be much better than in Jing City."

"But you mustn't mention this to anyone, or they might cause trouble. Some people have already mentioned wanting to go to other places."
When they heard this, the ones who had initially complained about not staying in Jing City stopped voicing their concerns and even found it quite favorable. Zhouzhou also felt relieved.
Qin Xi, walking beside her, thought to himself that Zhouzhou's ability to manipulate people was getting sharper. In the future, he'd have to be careful when speaking with her; otherwise, he'd be sold out without realizing it.
After a short time, Zhouzhou had successfully convinced everyone, and they were all willingly agreeing to be stationed in other cities. Even two people from the Jing City Special Action Office voluntarily requested to go elsewhere.
The reason wasn't just because of Zhouzhou's persuasive words. They had their own considerations. The people selected by Jing City's Special Action Office were the best, but here, they felt like they were at the bottom. Having been treated as the best all their lives, they couldn't stand being at the bottom. So, they preferred to go to another location where they'd have more opportunities to develop and improve their skills, and they could always return later when they were ready.
Zhouzhou naturally agreed. With their help, the work in other regions proceeded even more smoothly.
This experience gave Zhouzhou a new idea. It would be impossible for her to personally visit every new Special Action Office, as there wouldn't be enough time. If she could send other people, that would be a better solution.
She shared this idea with Qin Lie. After listening to her, Qin Lie nodded. "It's fine, it's just like opening a branch. As long as you send your trusted people, give them full responsibility, and have them report back to you monthly or quarterly. When you have time, you can visit to check on their progress."
Hearing this, Zhouzhou felt at ease. "I'll handle it!"
"Good," Qin Lie nodded, but then he suddenly called out to her. "By the way, has Ye Lingfeng come back yet?"
Zhouzhou was reminded of this too. "Oh, I haven't seen Sharp Tongue Daddy for almost a month." Thinking about it, she asked, "Has he really gotten mad?"
Zhouzhou was surprised. They'd joked like this many times before, and he had never been this upset.
Frowning, Zhouzhou calculated the situation in her mind. There seemed to be no major issues.
She picked up the phone and tried calling him, but it was turned off. He was likely out on a mission. Still uneasy, she called Zhao Xinghua to inquire.
Zhao Xinghua was always upfront with her. "He's overseas right now. This mission has a lot of people involved, so it's complicated. He probably won't be back soon. I'll send you the mission details in a moment."
After hanging up, Zhouzhou quickly received the mission details from Zhao Xinghua.
She understood what he meant by "a lot of people involved" now.
They had gone to an international prison where some of the world's most dangerous criminals were held. Each one was capable of catastrophic destruction.
The prison was built specifically for them, with no chance of escape. It was intended to isolate them, but over time, some powerful people had started to back these criminals. These criminals had become pawns, doing their bidding.
The so-called prison had turned into their shield. The criminals couldn't escape, and no one from the outside could get in either. After completing their tasks, the criminals could simply run into the prison and be safe.
As Zhouzhou read through the details, her face darkened. She had been aware of this prison for five years, but it hadn't yet fallen into her hands. Uncle Zhao had said the timing wasn't right, so she hadn't made a move.
Now, it seemed the timing was finally right.
Zhouzhou tapped her chin, thinking. She went back and sat on the sofa in her study, carefully reviewing the mission details.
According to Uncle Zhao, the mission was to capture a criminal, but they had run into the same situation as before. The criminal had taken refuge inside the prison and was even taunting them. That was something Zhouzhou couldn't tolerate. She had to root them out for good!
Ye Lingfeng was eager to deal with this, and Zhao Xinghua also agreed, so they had sent people to handle it.
Zhouzhou didn't think they were wrong, but her concern was for their safety. After all, getting into that place wouldn't be easy.
Otherwise, they would have acted much sooner.
But based on the current situation, everything seemed fine.
Seeing her worry, Qin Lie comforted her. "Don't worry, trust Ye Lingfeng. He'll handle it."
"Mm," Zhouzhou nodded, taking a deep breath. That's right, she had to trust Sharp Tongue Daddy. No one had ever hurt him. If anyone could get the job done, it was him.
At worst, she'd just start by checking their fortune every morning.
Zhouzhou closed the mission details and turned the conversation to Qin Er's wedding, which was just a week away.
She was excited. "Dad, what's it like to be a bridesmaid? I've never been one before."
Qin Lie, who had never been one either, briefly explained the process. "You'll get the hang of it after doing it a few times. This time is just practice."
There's a saying that a girl shouldn't be other's bridesmaid more than three times, or else she would be hard to get married.
Qin Lie decided secretly that Zhouzhou should do it three hundred times and completely eliminate any hope of getting married herself.
"Want to get married? Don't even think about it!"
