My exclusive card pool

Chapter 96 A Strange Customized Commission (Thanks to "卿勿泪" for the generous donation!)

The miscellaneous items department office is not large.

A set of walnut wood desk and chairs is placed in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with bookshelves, filing shelves and two rows of sofas on both sides, and several dracaena and snake plant in the corner.

On the large chair sat an exceptionally thin woman.

He looked to be in his forties or fifties, with a few strands of silver in his black hair, which was styled in a bun. He wore sunglasses, and a grotesque scar ran diagonally across his face, from his right forehead to the left corner of his mouth.

"Xia Ling (Light Green/Five Stars)"

Bronze-framed entry: Elite unit.

'On par with the lords of the Magic Forest.'

Wang Xi thought to himself, marveling at how Cupid Housekeeping truly had hidden talents.

The woman was wearing a gray turtleneck trench coat and was eating instant noodles with the sleeves rolled up. Wang Xi glanced at it; it was spicy beef flavor.

The other person didn't even look up, but simply gestured towards the chair in front of the table and said:
"sit."

His voice was deep and slightly hoarse.

Wang Xi nodded and sat down.

"The miscellaneous goods department doesn't have many rules. You work when there's work to do, and you rest when there's no work to do."

Xia Ling chewed her noodles and said calmly.

She then took out a work ID from the drawer of her desk and handed it to Wang Xi.

"This is your new ID. You can use this ID to enter most restricted areas of the company."

Okay, I understand.

Wang Xi took the document and glanced at it.

The material is more durable than the original cleaning department badges, and it is printed with his photo, name, department position, and other information.

"With your joining, the Miscellaneous Affairs Department now has a total of 19 deacons, including 4 senior deacons (including you) and 15 ordinary deacons."

Xia Ling slurped up her noodles and introduced them slowly.

"I will add you to the work group later. I will assign the more important client commissions, and the general commissions will be listed for you to choose from."

Wang Xi nodded in agreement.

Xia Ling put down her chopsticks, took another sip of soup, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and then pushed a document in front of Wang Xi.

"Here is an important commission. The client specifically asked you to complete it."

"Designated delegation?"

Wang Xi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He was just transferred to the miscellaneous department, how come he's already getting work?

"Your outstanding performance during the performance evaluation period has already attracted the attention of many people. Most of our VIP clients are well-informed, so it's not difficult for them to find out about your current situation."

Xia Ling gave a brief explanation, then gestured for Wang Xi to look through the documents and review them himself.

wow——

Wang Xi opened the document.

Soon, his expression turned strange.

The VIP client for this customized commission is named "Young Master Bai," a high-ranking member of the Shining Consortium.

In his commission, he clearly stated that he was greatly shocked and admired Wang Xi because of his unusual behavior during the interview.

Therefore, this "Young Master Bai" specifically asked Wang Xi to help him find a blind date.

"Blind date?"

Wang Xi looked up at Ms. Xia Ling and said.

"Are you sure there's no mistake?"

“That’s right,” the woman said. “The customized requests from our VIP clients are incredibly diverse. Forget blind dates, there are even requests to accompany them shopping, play house in the wilderness, or help them explore mazes and record videos.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi's expression became even stranger.

What should he say?

No wonder they are VIPs.

They're so hard to please.

"Our mission at Cupid Home Services is to serve our clients wholeheartedly and make them feel the warmth of home."

Ms. Xia Ling said with a stern face.

"No matter how demanding the customized commission, we must find a way to overcome it and complete it successfully. Do a good job and don't embarrass yourself."

"okay, I get it."

Wang Xi rubbed his forehead, looking slightly helpless.

Ms. Xia Ling nodded in satisfaction and added:
“‘Young Master Bai’ is a long-time client of our company, one of our few high-level VIPs. Try your best to meet his requests… Don’t worry, he’s very generous. This time the commission is 100 million, and you can get a 20 commission.”

Upon hearing that a single blind date could cost 20 yuan, Wang Xi immediately became excited.

It’s a perfect match for my major.

Ms. Xia Ling seemed to see his change through her sunglasses, and a smile played on her lips as she continued:

"Both of 'Young Master Bai's' parents are members of the board of directors of the Shining Group. The blind date his family arranged for him is not simple. You have to be careful."

"According to his requirements, you not only have to discourage your blind date, but also maintain your politeness and demeanor."

"Keep this card, you'll need it later."

As she spoke, the woman handed over a card and a monitoring wristwatch.

A wristwatch is standard equipment in the miscellaneous items department; everyone has one.

Wang Xi took the card and put on his wristwatch. He then pretended to scan the card with the wristwatch while secretly using Chaos to read detailed information.

This is a three-star artificial white card.

Its name is "Collapse and Shattering - Shy Rabbit Knight Mask". Its basic function is to put on a rabbit mecha mask after use to cover the face. It can change the hairstyle and voice for disguise.

There are also two auxiliary abilities.

"Rabbit with pink eyes" and "Rabbit with a sniffing nose".

In layman's terms, it means dynamic environmental scanning and air composition analysis.

The two eyes can switch between infrared or thermal imaging modes to detect living beings through obstacles such as smoke, thin walls and wooden boards, and automatically mark dangerous items such as explosives, flammable materials or toxic gases in the field of view.

The device inside the nose can detect and display oxygen content, humidity, and concentration of toxic gases in real time.

"..." Wang Xi held the artificial white card and fell silent.

At this point, Ms. Xia Ling stated:
"This card was given to you by 'Young Master Bai.' Remember to return it after you're done using it. Also, there's a first-person surveillance system inside the mask. He'll be monitoring everything from behind the scenes. I'm letting you know in advance."

"it is good……"

Wang Xi nodded.

No wonder he's a scion of a powerful conglomerate.

Really good at playing.

...

...

That night.

Qingliuting Restaurant, in the central area of ​​Gucheng.

In the tranquil private room, the tables, chairs, doors, and windows are almost all made of precious wood, exuding an antique charm.

The soft music of the piano strings echoed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows framed the neon-lit buildings into a beautiful night view.

Through the window, one can see the river view of Gucheng, with a cruise ship skimming across the water. The ship's lights, like scattered diamonds, leave shimmering trails on the dark water.

now.

Wang Xi sat by the window.

The glass reflected a handsome figure in a white suit, but his face was covered by a rabbit mecha mask with long ears standing up, which looked quite incongruous.

wow——

The door to the private room was slashed open.

"I apologize, Young Master Bai, I'm late."

Wang Xi turned his head and saw a young and beautiful woman walking in quickly, while the waiter at the door was still bowing.

After the waiter pushed the door shut, the woman had already taken her seat.

"..."

They looked at each other and fell silent.

"Uh, is this one of Young Master Bai's hobbies?"

The woman pointed awkwardly at the rabbit mask and asked.

Unexpectedly, "Young Master Bai" did not respond.

A cute, mechanical girl's voice could be heard coming from inside the mask:
"You're late, Ms. Chen. I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so let's each ask each other three questions... Is your first question about my hobbies?"

"Ah, no, no."

The woman quickly waved her hand.

She hadn't expected the young master of the Shining Group to be so assertive, setting the stage for the blind date right from the start. But since she was late, she felt somewhat guilty, and her prepared lines suddenly became useless.

Furthermore, his own jewelry company was merely a member of a small to medium-sized group, far inferior to the other party's status and position, so he had no choice but to go along with the other party's words:

"So, the first question is... if it's a date, how late can you tolerate your girlfriend being?"

Wang Xi's expression remained calm beneath the mask.

This is a typical "waste test".

In heterosexual relationships, there is an inherent hidden competition that determines who is superior.

Like a hero and a dragon.

And women are dragons.

They not only have a passion for sparkly things, but they also have an innate talent for it, as if it were ingrained in their genes.

Most men simply don't understand these things.

After all, even the bravest must endure hardships.

Dragons often possess a triple innate ability, perhaps without even realizing it themselves: the waste test is used to filter out the weak, the comparison test is used to activate potential, and the sinking test is used to exert control...

Faced with Miss Chen's first attack, Wang Xi simply said:
"I'm sorry, I can't accept being late."

The woman was startled, wanting to see the other person's expression, but only met Rabbit Mask's emotionless red eyes.

Wang Xi has experienced countless "shit tests" that probe the bottom line. The simplest way to deal with them is to show his attitude and make himself clear.

The girl's mechanical voice continued:
"True style lies not in how much jewelry you own, but in your reverence for time. Punctuality is never a rigid rule, but a respect for life."

"Being five minutes late might mean missing a life-changing event. Being ten minutes early might mean encountering an unexpected opportunity... Because I understand the value of time, I am unwilling to waste a single minute of my life."

"Miss Chen, I have three pieces of advice for you."

"Huh?" The woman was stunned by "Young Master Bai's" words and was somewhat bewildered. After regaining her senses, she quickly said, "Please...please go on."

"Waiting is the most expensive expense; punctuality is the most understated luxury; the ticking of a clock is far more pleasant than an apology."

The girl's mechanical voice said calmly.

"Although you only asked one question, I think there's no need to continue... It's just a waste of our time, Ms. Chen, what do you think?"

"..."

Miss Chen opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

I just arrived, and I'm already leaving?!

We haven't ordered any food yet...

To say the other party is heartless?
Still lacking gentlemanly manners?

That’s not right…

On the contrary, she felt that what the other person said made a lot of sense.

"I'm sorry to have taken up 'Young Master Bai's' time. I feel that we are indeed not a good match..."

Ms. Chen forced a smile, picked up her bag, nodded politely to the man in the white suit and rabbit mask, and then turned and left the private room.

At this moment——

A sharp laugh echoed from a luxury suite in a hotel owned by the Shining Consortium.

"Hahaha! That's interesting!"

The laughter continued for a while, then turned into a low murmur:

"What an interesting fellow, no wonder he's the dark horse of this year's professional warrior assessment... Hmm, you've successfully piqued my interest, man."
