Wang Yunxiao ultimately did not stay to taste the stewed ox penis prepared by his mother-in-law.
Two days later, he finally saw the announcent of his engagent to Li Mumu in the newspaper.
Although it was just a small piece of space, in this era, it had legal effect.
Out of caution, Wang Yunxiao bought three copies and carefully kept them.
I can now be considered a family man, right?
So what should I do next? The holiday is still long.
Boss Mu said he wanted to see his daughter in a wedding dress, and Wang Yunxiao thought this request was not at all unreasonable.
He also wanted to see.
Things like diamond rings were inconsequential, as in this era, no one hyped up diamond rings.
Foreigners indeed have the custom of wearing wedding rings, but they’re mainly gold; whether they have gems or not doesn’t matter. Diamonds in this era were just one of many gemstones.
Wang Yunxiao had no money in his pocket, relatively speaking, to Boss Mu.
He could fully cover basic living expenses.
Over the past year, he had various incos—more specifically, legitimate incos, which added up to a considerable amount.
He hadn’t opened a bank account; he kept everything in the school’s financial account.
There was also the illegitimate inco—the large sum confiscated from the Shen Family. After supposedly buying a Jade Throne Golden Buddha for Principal Zhou (which he did not), so long as the request was reasonable, Principal Zhou would issue him a note to withdraw money from the accounts departnt.
Getting married and starting a family was a reasonable request.
Wang Yunxiao got a note from Principal Zhou and withdrew two sums from the accounts room.
One was to buy a house for Dumpling, and the other was to be used for his own marriage.
And even more illegitimate inco—the last ti he crossed the world line to do business in Fusang, he made a side profit.
At that ti, several captains along with Comrade Cheng Feng from the Secretary Bureau tacitly agreed not to report it.
Solve travel expenses on the spot, what’s wrong with that? Nothing at all.
The money was placed with Yan Yu’an and was laundered through his network. Currently, it was stored in an individual account at Xingguo Bank.
It was Wang Yunxiao’s personal little treasury.
Getting married, that’s all; there’s no need to use it.
The sa goes for any era.
A single man, not considering buying a house or a car, has nowhere to spend money.
Even if you go out every day for a lamb hot pot, how much can you eat?
In the morning, seeing the weather was nice, after jogging around the school’s track for fitness, Wang Yunxiao estimated that the Eldest Miss Li should have woken up by now and sent her a ssage from his notebook.
"Let’s go wedding dress shopping today."
Half an hour later, he received a reply: "The sun’s too hot, I don’t want to get up."
The hell sun’s too hot! The sun at six or seven in the morning, yeah right!
Li Mumu obviously stayed up all night reading again.
Wang Yunxiao thought for a mont and changed his approach: "et at noon in front of the Special Service Bureau, I’ll treat you to burgers, fried chicken, and icy cola."
Two minutes later, Li Mumu replied: "OK!"
This woman really can’t resist the lure of junk food.
Just eat it then, you’ll turn into Michelin sooner or later!
There was also a docunt to be delivered to the Special Service Bureau, so Wang Yunxiao planned to take care of that at the sa ti.
Strictly speaking, he wasn’t actually under the Special Service Bureau’s jurisdiction; the bureau was just the superior departnt of the Special Service Section, not the direct supervisory unit. It’s like the supervision office in a police departnt; while it’s established by the Supervision Bureau, it ultimately belongs to the police system.
But the Special Service Bureau had the authority to train and command special teams like theirs.
Even ergency teams affiliated with customs, like Yan Yu’an’s, had to follow their orders.
Wang Yunxiao’s personnel records were stored at the Special Service Bureau, but had now been transferred by the Navy.
Upon arriving at the Special Service Bureau, he paid a routine visit to his ntor.
"What the Navy needs resolving are national strategic-level issues; be honest over there, follow commands from above, and stop with the personal heroism,"
said Liu Zhihan earnestly.
What personal heroism did I show? Every ti, it’s them bringing trouble to !
Wang Yunxiao grumbled internally.
"Internal processes have been completed; here’s your bonus and special work allowance,"
Liu Zhihan handed over a thick envelope.
"There’s an allowance too?"
Wang Yunxiao was sowhat in disbelief.
"There wasn’t one before. The new departnt just opened, systems weren’t complete. This was newly approved by the director."
"Huh? We have a director now?"
Wasn’t the director sent away for support elsewhere? Finally back?
"A new director, just arrived a few days ago. You’re no longer part of the special service system, so don’t ask too much. Also, here’s a red envelope from , wishing you and your bride a happy marriage."
Oh no, I can’t accept this! Teacher Liu!
Receiving the red envelope, Wang Yunxiao bead with joy.
"I didn’t expect you to know about this too, I’ll definitely invite you out to eat when the ti cos."
"No need for that, I have no interest in showing up anywhere. Also, visit the Containnt Departnt; Director Xia has sothing to discuss with you."
"So where is the Containnt Departnt actually?"
Wang Yunxiao had been to the Special Service Bureau nurous tis but never saw an office with a Containnt Departnt sign.
"Third basent level."
The Director of the Containnt Departnt was Xia Yubing.
If it weren’t for glimpsing her at a eting last ti, Wang Yunxiao wouldn’t even know that the Special Service Bureau had a Containnt Departnt.
Of course, he wasn’t truly one of the insiders of the Special Service Bureau and didn’t deal with intelligence, so it was normal not to know.
Wang Yunxiao was not familiar with Xia Yubing, only aware she was quite close—or maybe more—with Li Mumu... oops! They had a close relationship.
And Li Mumu, according to her own account, was once a case handled by the Containnt Departnt.
However, the third basent level had no office space.
Descending the stairs, passing through a dark, unlit corridor, he found a room without any signage at the end.
Beside it, in pencil, was the number "301."
Inside, it was pitch black, with nothing besides a coffin, two candles, and a black-and-white photo.
Wang Yunxiao tentatively knocked on the door from the entrance.
An eerie voice ca from behind him, "Co in and sit."
A shiver ran down Wang Yunxiao’s spine as he turned to see Xia Yubing standing in the shadows, watching him expressionlessly.
Where do you want to sit?
"No thanks, Director Xia, why did you call ?"
"Nothing major, and even if I told you, you probably wouldn’t listen."
Xia Yubing whispered, "I want to advise you not to marry Li Mumu, just have fun, don’t get too serious. Otherwise, you’ll regret it."
"Why?"
Wang Yunxiao asked puzzledly, "Is there sothing behind this that I should know but don’t?"
"There is."
Xia Yubing nodded and said, "The two of you have already been targeted. Nothing good will co from being together."
"The two of us? Who’s targeting us?"
The more Wang Yunxiao listened, the more confused he beca, "Are we breaking so sacred rule by dating?"
"Well-used tools naturally are desired by many,"
"You don’t think the annihilation, and Tushan’s, those ti-reversing monsters, encountering you was just a coincidence, do you?"
