The status of special appointees is quite high because those who can be specially appointed are all talented and scarce individuals, many of whom are professors at various universities.

Compared to regular police officers, they already have their own jobs, so they are not often stationed at the police station. They only come to participate when related work arises.

This might seem a bit unstable for most people, and it can even have a time limit, but for Su Qing, it was just right.

If they really wanted to officially bring him into the police station, and have him clock in and work there, he honestly wouldn't want to go. It would be so much harder to ask for leave in the future, not as free as it is now.

If he doesn't feel like going, he can just shove Da Huang into the company and do whatever he wants without a pay cut. For him, the company is just another place to edit videos. It doesn't matter whether he reports to the manager or the supervisor as they can't really control him or give him grief. Such a good job is hard to find, so he is doing quite comfortably and doesn't have the intention of changing jobs for the time being.

If it wasn't for Li Zijun saying that being specially appointed didn't mean staying at the police station every day, he would have objected long ago. The main reason is that Lin Chengcai understands human nature too well and knows exactly what he wants.

Although being listed by name means losing a lot of benefits, but conversely, it greatly enhances his flexibility in time management, and Su Qing now doesn't mind missing out on small amounts of money. Mainly, a respectable job does attract him quite a bit.

Just look at Mr. Su. When someone asks, 'What's your job?' Mr. Su can always modestly answer, 'University teacher,' which sounds quite impressive. If Su Qing had this identity, he could also thick-skinnedly say he's a police officer when asked.

At this time, Su Qing still didn't know that he had already been set up by two big bluffers.

On Friday, past four in the afternoon, a voiceover suddenly started.

[Your rebellious mom and strong-willed dad have returned, especially the former. They're quite pissed about your fake girlfriend lie and failed date. It's best to avoid their wrath, or your status will drop, and you'll be exploited by Gotham City's number one sister.]

Upon hearing this, Su Qing sweated bullets on the inside. He could admit to failing at a date, but what's this 'fake girlfriend' thing? He had only heard of false military reports before.

But no matter how, going home at this moment certainly wasn't the best option.

"Yes, finally cleared it. I finally passed the second level. Xiao Su, look, quickly look!" Sun Mumu beside him nudged his side, asking him to open his eyes.

Reluctantly, he could only wipe his mouth, having napped on the desk all afternoon. The keyboard imprint was indeed on his face.

Subsequently, he saw that on Sun Mumu's phone, she had cleared the second level of the game 'Lamb & Lamb'.

"Whoa, congratulations! Played it for so long, I thought finishing this game was illegal," Su Qing joked.

He had played that broken game himself, but he never watched ads. Without clearance, he'd start over, and to this day, he hasn't cleared a single level.

"Can't help it, it's too hard. And you, stop sleeping already; it's almost time to get off work!" Checking the time, seeing it was indeed so, Su Qing finally gave up on continuing to sleep.

Mainly, the weather was hot enough to make people drowsy. He checked the phone and found messages from his mom and Su He asking him to come home for dinner.

He pretended not to see it. He couldn't go home under these circumstances, could he? Of course not!

"By the way, are you free tomorrow for a shopping trip?" Sun Mumu invited him.

Su Qing: ???

[The social bandit always suspected Lin Miaomiao secretly had a crush on you and wanted to prove her guess.]

"Get lost, not going!"

"Ha, do you speak like this to girls? No wonder you're single looking like this, serves you right!"

The little girl wanted to test him, but no way. As for Lin Miaomiao, he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

At exactly five, nearly all employees except those from the business department were off. Su Qing wasn't special; he left the company along with everyone else.

Todays, Aunt Shen had arranged to see him after work at the downstairs parking lot.

He soon saw Aunt Shen driving her Mercedes over, parked in front of him, and lowered the window smiling, saying:

"Don't go home yet; let sis take you for a ride!"

"Boss Shen seems to be in a good mood today," Su Qing laughed, tossing Da Huang into the back seat and taking a seat in the front: seat with a smile.

"So-so, just closed another deal today, so not bad!"

Having said it, Shen Yi drove, heading straight for the suburbs.

"Was it a collaboration with that boss named Xu Feng?" he asked as the wind blew through the car.

Shen Yi paused upon hearing that: "How did you know?"

"I saw the two of you meeting downstairs earlier."

He really didn't have a good impression of this man. Although he should be a big boss and accomplished at a young age, Su Qing remembered vividly the high-and-mighty attitude he showed the first time they met.

But as his income started to rise lately, catching up with this man was just a matter of time.

"What, jealous?" Shen Yi giggled when she heard him say that.

Su Qing rolled his eyes and spat: "Oh, come on, didn't you say this guy isn't that impressive? Then why working with him?"

"Business is business, friendships are friendships; they don't conflict. Though he's deep and thoughtful, his business indeed can align with mine, and I do need his channels in some areas," Shen Yi explained while driving. Then she switched topics:

"But today's deal wasn't made with him. He just came to take a slice of the pie. The real partner is someone else."

To this, Su Qing remained silent, listening to the voiceover in his head, pretending to think.

[Xu Feng intends to bind himself with Shen Yi's company, deeply tying interests. By that time, the two will be on the same boat. He intends to leverage her to revive his company. Shen Yi, being aware, harbors vigilance while attempting to acquire his channels. Though she might succeed, she'll pay considerable costs.]

Business is like a battlefield, and though he's entirely clueless about it, the voiceover informs him enough to know that no successful businessperson is easy to deal with — all of them have countless cunning plans.

"Is there competition in this partnership too?" Su Qing inquired.

Shen Yi chuckled lightly: "Of course, Xu Feng has his intentions, but I'm no pushover. Business Department had some issues recently with people skimming money. I don't mind employees making their own money, but they must bring enough profit to the company first. I've dealt with a couple, and the rest should quiet down for a while."

Exiting the city, Shen Yi gradually picked up speed; her car's performance was great, and in no time, they reached a picturesque pond in a suburban area.

"Business department in trouble? How come I'm unaware?" Su Qing leaned against the car door, gazing at the lush forest and pond around him.

"What good would it do to tell you? Luckily, I discovered it early, already started remedial actions, finding other channels. Otherwise, why do you think Xu Feng's here?" Shen Yi stood beside him.

In areas Su Qing couldn't see, countless matters were consuming her energy; her battery was draining fast too.

Lost as he was, he didn't probe further, understanding that even if he asked, he wouldn't understand and couldn't help anyway, so why bother.

"Better be careful; I always feel that Xu Feng isn't a good guy."

"Relax, except for you, no one's got the better of me yet."

Su Qing:...

Honestly, did he really take advantage? He just couldn't recall benefitting.

Wanting to remind her, but since Shen Yi herself said it, Su Qing felt it wasn't his place to say more.

"By the way, Uncle and Aunt returned; are you really not going to see them today?"

"Tomorrow, today, returning would hit the crosshairs."

"Why?"

"Isn't it because of you? My mom thinks I lied about a girlfriend."

"Should sis accompany you home tomorrow then?"

"No thanks, I fear my mom would demand the bride price immediately!"

"Wouldn't that be just perfect, then we can split it fifty-fifty."

Su Qing: "Are you even human?"

The two stood outside, admiring the views for quite a while, and started heading back as the sun set.

Watching Aunt Shen drive skillfully, Su Qing couldn't help but marvel.

"What are you looking at?" Feeling his gaze, Shen Yi's pretty face turned slightly red, giving him a sideways glance.

Su Qing said sheepishly: "Nothing really, it's just the first time I've seen a female driver with such skills, better than mine. Should've had Su He learn from you."

"What's so difficult about driving? Sis has driven for many years now, an experienced driver."

Su Qing: "So, you have insights too?"

"Of course, while driving, engage first gear, shift through second and third a bit longer; don't go straight to fourth or fifth. In the city, apply brakes appropriately. If the car starts shaking, shift to fifth gear, holding for around five minutes. Ease the throttle pressure, then step on it again; if engine RPMs are too high, there's a chance of pouring oil; if it's troublesome, get an automatic and just control throttle pressure."

Her words left Su Qing dumbstruck, staring at her blankly.

"What, did I say something wrong?"

"Right, very right, just feels like you're 'driving' though I have no evidence."

Initially, it did sound reasonable, but the more he listened, the stranger it got. Not sure whether it was his impure thoughts or Shen Yi's intentional play.

Shen Yi's lips slightly curled up: "I am driving; do you want to take the wheel?"

A double entendre, brilliant!

Su Qing:...
