Secretary Wei hung up on the Minister of Public Security without the slightest qualm. I only called to show off a little. Who knew you'd make such an outrageous request!
Borrow him for six months, too?
I only borrowed Zhou Yi from Jian Wanyan for a year, and you, Old Xiao, want to take half as your cut just by opening your mouth? Nothing comes that cheap!
Yes, Secretary Wei was that pragmatic. He had already selectively forgotten that Xiao Xiangqian had recommended Zhou Yi to him in the first place!
After giving it some thought, Secretary Wei decided he ought to express his thanks to Jian Wanyan as well.
So he called Secretary Jian.
"Haha, Wanyan! There's something I have to tell you right away. That dormitory massacre at Sixth Middle School in Changtian City has been solved! Young Zhou really is outstanding! Honestly, Wanyan, I have to admire your eye for picking a son-in-law!"
The corners of Secretary Jian's mouth began curling upward again despite himself. He couldn't help it. His friend's words had hit him right where he liked it.
These days, he could remain perfectly composed when someone praised his daughter.
But if they praised his son-in-law, and his own good judgment along with him, there was no way he could resist chiming in as the young man's father-in-law!
"Well, Zhou Yi's ability speaks for itself. Ordinary cases simply don't pose a challenge for him! He's under your command now, so investigating and solving cases is part of his job. There's no need to thank me. Just remember to send him back after a year, Siqi!"
Jian Wanyan emphasized the point in a joking tone.
"Haha, we'll see, we'll see..." Wei Siqi laughed it off, then hung up.
Holding his phone, Jian Wanyan couldn't help frowning.
