Chapter 2564: Chapter 2340: You Want Me to Treat You to Dinner Before Even Handling the Matter? (Part 6)
"Why do you speak so harshly? What do you mean by selling my daughter? My daughter is lucky to find a wealthy man to marry. What’s wrong with that? Young people these days really don’t know how to talk! I’ve found my daughter a lifelong iron rice bowl. With this poor guy, she’ll never succeed in life."
"An iron rice bowl, Lu Shilong has already divorced once, where there’s a first there will be a second." Song Xiaodong remarked sarcastically.
"Can you watch your mouth?" Song Shuyun slammed the table and stood up.
Song Xiaodong raised his head and looked at the furious Song Shuyun with a calm demeanor, and said, "There’s an old saying, don’t underestimate the young and poor. Chen Xinghai saved my friend, he’s indebted to me. I am willing to support Chen Xinghai to let you know what it means to rise to success overnight."
"Who do you think you are, talking about rising to success overnight? Aren’t you afraid of twisting your tongue with those boasts? Birds of a feather flock together, and Chen Xinghai is unreliable, so are the people he knows." Song Shuyun said contemptuously to Song Xiaodong.
"Just wait and see." Song Xiaodong said and dialed a number.
"Hello? Director Shi?" Song Xiaodong said.
"Yes, Mr. Song, I’ve already arrived."
"Alright, come in, it’s the innermost part on the left."
"Got it."
As soon as the phone was put down, Shi Dangkai entered through the restaurant door and walked over to Song Xiaodong’s table.
"Mr. Song!"
"Director Shi."
Song Xiaodong and Song Jiaren both stood up to greet him, but Chen Xinghai was frozen like a statue.
"What’s going on?" Shi Dangkai noticed Chen Xinghai’s stunned expression and asked.
"It’s a long story. Just now, Yuan Yuan and Chen Xinghai broke up." Song Xiaodong said.
"What? How could that be? They seemed so in love!" Shi Dangkai was taken aback.
"Love can’t withstand a single push down a building." Song Xiaodong mocked Song Shuyun.
Shi Dangkai followed the gaze and saw Yuan Jiancheng and Song Shuyun.
"What’s the matter?" Shi Dangkai asked again.
"This is Yuan Yuan’s mother. To get her son a wife and buy a house, she wants to marry off Yuan Yuan to a forty-something divorced real estate tycoon with children." Song Xiaodong’s introduction of Song Shuyun was refreshing.
"Can you even speak? I’m arranging a date for my daughter, and both sides are willing—it’s love, don’t you understand?" Song Shuyun slapped her thigh in fury after hearing Song Xiaodong’s words.
"Besides, even if I were selling my daughter, what’s it to you? I raised her; if I want to sell her, it’s up to me, none of your business!"
"It’s not up to me, but isn’t it up to the police?"
"Let me introduce, this is Director Shi Dangkai of the police station in Minghe City’s XX district, he’s Chen Xinghai’s leader." Song Xiaodong proudly introduced Shi Dangkai to Song Shuyun.
"So what if he’s the director of a police station? Arranged marriage isn’t illegal, and breaking up because the boyfriend is poor isn’t illegal either, right?" Song Shuyun stood up, crooked her head, and asked Song Xiaodong and Shi Dangkai, hands on hips.
"Shuyun! Watch your words! This is the police station director!" Yuan Jiancheng tugged at Song Shuyun’s clothes.
"Don’t bother me! I’m going to resolve this thoroughly today. I’m telling you, my Yuanyuan has already broken up with Chen Xinghai. Stop pursuing her. I don’t care if you’re chief or director, you have no right to meddle in someone’s freedom to love!" Song Shuyun continued.
"Of course, others’ freedom to love is out of our jurisdiction." Shi Dangkai said and moved to Chen Xinghai’s side.
"Chen Xinghai, unlucky in love, huh!" Shi Dangkai sighed and patted Chen Xinghai’s shoulder.
"But don’t be too upset, if you’re unlucky in love, you might be lucky at work. In light of your heroic action the other day, I take this opportunity to commend you. We’ve officially listed you as a candidate for police assessment promotion, a key training subject, rewarding you with a bonus of two thousand yuan and a certificate." Shi Dangkai told Chen Xinghai.
"Hahahahaha," Song Shuyun sitting nearby couldn’t hold back and clapped her hands, laughing.
"It’s really funny, if my Yuanyuan were with someone so stubborn like you, God must be blind! Listen to this everyone, saved a life, got stabbed, and as a result, received a reward of two thousand yuan and a certificate. Oh my God, is your brain faulty?" Song Shuyun mocked Shi Dangkai and Chen Xinghai.
"Oh, did I forget to mention your promotion earlier?" Shi Dangkai scratched his thinning hair.
"Getting older, memory fades, Chen Xinghai, buck up. Starting today, you’re an official staff member at our police station. Although you can’t be a police officer yet and are still outside the system, all benefits are the same." Shi Dangkai stated.
"Think of the positives, you said you got promoted in a year, what about those who haven’t in five or ten years?" Shi Dangkai continued to comfort Chen Xinghai.
"So what if he’s promoted? Still just a lowly cop, can he compare to the real estate boss worth ten million?" Song Shuyun remarked defiantly from the side.
"And you know, recently, I need an assistant. I’ve considered many options but none fit. However, because of your previous heroic actions, I’m giving you a chance. Starting tomorrow, you can be my secretary. How about it? Are you willing?" Shi Dangkai asked.
"Just because he was heroic, you make him your secretary? What’s this about? Who runs a police station like this?" Song Shuyun raised an eyebrow.
"Why? Isn’t heroism worthy of praise? If you were robbed on the street, wouldn’t you want someone to stand up and help?" Shi Dangkai asked Song Shuyun.
"Of course, I hope someone helps, but I don’t want that person to be my son-in-law, fearing my daughter might become a widow if he constantly gets stabbed." Song Shuyun crossed her legs and folded her arms.
"That’s your thought, we are the people’s police!" Shi Dangkai emphasized the words ’people’s police’ with a vigorous tone.
"So what if you’re the people’s police? Serving the people every day, but the people don’t serve you back. A year as a cop, can’t even afford an electric bike, still riding a shared bike to pick up my Yuanyuan, are you proud?" Song Shuyun glanced at the silent Chen Xinghai.
"Chen Xinghai, if you’re willing to be my secretary, your salary will immediately increase by 500 yuan." Shi Dangkai told Chen Xinghai.
