Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 52 We Need More Cooperation
"Are you really planning to make things difficult for him?"

It was early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light.

Really, Bai Ling, who gets up earlier than the chickens and sleeps later than the dogs, came to the office of the commander-in-chief of the special operations detachment with two heavy dark circles under her eyes.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Director Wang's teasing.

It's been a whole night and Director Wang is still talking about this.

Thinking back to last night when Ximen Lang had been arguing with her for most of the night, Bai Ling was speechless.

"How is that possible? Look at the dark circles under my eyes. I haven't even done anything to him yet, and he's been fussing with me for most of the night. If I dare to cause trouble again, he'll probably tear the roof off my head."

After hearing what Bai Ling said, Director Wang, who was a little sleepy, immediately became alert.

"Did it really last most of the night?"

"Didn't that mean they kept making noise for most of the night? Even the yellow dog from the next yard couldn't stand it anymore and went to bed. What else could it be but making noise for most of the night?"

Bai Ling yawned and sighed with a haggard look on her face.

"Alas, when will this day end?"

Bai Ling was obviously lamenting how difficult Ximen Lang was to deal with.

But I don't know what happened to Director Wang today. He used to be a very decent and kind person, but today he suddenly changed his usual behavior and said this to Bai Ling with a teasing look on his face.

"Tell me, how did he quarrel with you?"

"What new tricks can he have? He's just the same old pestering trick. It's so annoying."

I was just about to have a good talk with Aunt Wang about how annoying Ximen Lang was last night.

As Bai Ling came into more and more contact with the group of ferocious aunts in the courtyard, she was no longer the same Xiaobai as before, and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Combined with the lingering mocking expression on Director Wang's face.

Bai Ling was numb, and her complicated feelings were hard to describe in words.

He directly complained to Director Wang.

"Aunt Wang, you are a highly respected elder. How come even you have learned from those aunties in the courtyard and started to make fun of me, a junior, by taking things out of context?"

"But my job is to deal with those aunties you mentioned. This is part of my job, and a very important part at that."

"In this situation, what's wrong with me learning something from them? Also, don't forget, I'm about the same age as those aunties you just mentioned."

"I'm one of those aunts you mentioned! I'm one of them, so it's okay for me to be a bit talkative, right? Come on, tell me what he did to you? He made you look so haggard today."

Bai Ling didn't know how to refute what she said for a moment.

Just don't say it anymore.

Bai Ling instantly got into the mood after glaring at Lao Luo, who had been pretending to listen with his ears perked up for a long time.

He picked up the list of bodyguards that had been prepared on the table and began to read it carefully.

While Bai Ling was trying her best to remember everyone's situation within the limited time, Lao Luo, who also got into work mode in a second, introduced Bai Ling.

"Because your energy is limited, not only do you have to accompany Ximen Lang throughout the day to prevent him from causing any trouble, but now you have to accompany him at night as well."

After hearing this, Bai Ling glared at Lao Luo fiercely.

Seeing that Bai Ling would get really annoyed if he continued talking, Lao Luo, who was very happy to have a joke, decisively stopped the topic and continued to introduce Bai Ling.

"Due to time constraints, the guests we've chosen for this banquet are all well-tested, trustworthy, and familiar faces with strong professional skills. Each of them is prepared to sacrifice for Ximen Lang at any time."

"So, you only need to remember when you met them and how you forged a deep comradeship with them. I've already instructed them to remember this information."

"There are only two people you need to pay special attention to. One is a soldier who has just been transferred back from outside. He has a close relationship with Xiao Jinzi in your courtyard. The other one..." Having said that, Lao Luo shouted directly to the outside.

"Get over here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the next second, Hao Pingchuan, the leader of the action team, with a big face and his signature silly smile, pushed the door open and walked in.

Facing Bai Ling's eyes that were almost rolling out of her chest, Hao Pingchuan boasted about his products like Wang Po selling melons.

"I'm not bragging, Bai Ling. You know my skills. Thirty or fifty people can't even get close to me."

"Blow, keep blowing!"

Seeing that this didn't fool Bai Ling at all, Hao Pingchuan quickly reduced the number of people.

"Twenty, ten, eight, thirty, five! Thirty or five people, that should be no problem, right?! With my skills, who else but me can do this bodyguard job?!"

While chatting and laughing, a box of the very popular vanishing cream was placed directly in front of Bai Ling.

"We need to cooperate more, don't you think?"

It was also for the sake of Snow Cream that Bai Ling finally replied.

"Generally speaking, if you can pick someone with good skills, you will definitely not pick someone with poor skills. It is exactly as you said."

"I said Bai Ling couldn't possibly forget me, her old comrade."

"but!"

After saying "but", Bai Ling interrupted Hao Pingchuan and continued.

"No matter how good your skills are, without brains, it's useless! And you are the one with the least brains!"

With a snap, he threw the vanishing cream in his hand directly into Hao Pingchuan's arms.

Bai Ling pointed at Hao Pingchuan's nose and started scolding him.

"I won't tell you how many stupid things you've done in the past. Now, even the box of vanishing cream you're given is half-used by someone else! Hao Pingchuan, tell me, do you have a brain?! Am I only worthy of using half a box?!"

"But I have no money left. I only got this half box from Lao Luo."

"How can a deputy director like you be so broke? What about your monthly allowance?"

“It has been sent.”

"You sent it out? You sent all that allowance? Who did you send it to?"

"Who else could it be? The home of a comrade who has already died heroically."

What Hao Pingchuan said was a fact that was prevalent in those days.

That is, regularly sending money and things to the family of the deceased comrade to help the family of the comrade who has lost a strong laborer to overcome the difficulties.

Even Bai Ling now sends some things to her deceased comrade's home every month to help them get through the current difficulties.

Lao Luo, who is one level higher than Bai Ling, has pockets that are always cleaner than his face.

But even so, they still have no regrets and do not ask for anything in return.

Seeing that Hao Pingchuan’s monthly expenses were so high, it turned out to be because of this matter.

Everyone, including Director Wang, was silent.

Even Bai Ling's words became much gentler and she made some concessions.

But the attitude remains firm!
"As the leader of the Special Operations Team, you can get in touch with Ximen Lang and get to know him. But being his full-time bodyguard is absolutely unacceptable, even if you say it to the sky!"

　Thanks to my book friend Emperor for his loyal and faithful reward. Thank you very much and I wish you all the best!
