Chapter 146: How Old Are You?

Shen Fang said with a smile, "Challenge my ass. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to challenge me, Shen Fang. A message spread in the circle of tough guys that the Deputy Director of Jiaodaokou used a big Type 54 pistol to ruin the face of the top figure in Xinjiekou, 'Little Bastard,' and that his name was Shen Fang and he had a scar on his face."

Li Xuewu didn't say anything, just chuckled twice, pretending to examine the material of the police uniform, not looking at Shen Fang.

Being caught in this matter was truly embarrassing.

Shen Fang squinted his eyes and cursed, "As soon as I heard this news, I knew it was you, kid, ruining my reputation. No one else could come up with something so damaging. Do you know what the tough guys call me now? Scarface Shen!"

Li Xuewu hurriedly flattered him: "That's praising you for having the style of a soldier. This nickname is so imposing; it has the flair of Wu Dashetou back in the day."

Shen Fang shouted angrily, "Get the hell out of here. Can't you find a good person to compare me to? Can a warlord leader be compared to a people's police officer like me?"

Li Xuewu knew his flattery hadn't landed well; he'd kicked the horse's hoof.

With eight-sided cleverness and a heart of seven openings, the two foxes were just testing each other's strength behind the scenes.

Li Xuewu hurriedly remedied the situation: "Yes, yes, yes, you are a guardian of the people, a pioneer in the police world."

Hearing Li Kezhang Li's flattery, Shen Fang felt very comfortable. After all, he was someone who worked in a state-owned enterprise; he was much better at flattery than those in local areas. He should learn a thing or two; this stuff might actually be useful.

Shen Fang took a sip of water, cleared his throat, and asked, "Do you really not have a girlfriend? Don't you want to see our Xishi before deciding?"

YY Novel

Li Xuewu nodded and said, "I'm not lying to you. There are so many young ladies in the rolling mill throwing themselves at me that I have to pick through them with my hands. I won't think about your Xishi. Resources are limited, so I shouldn't be 'plucking wool' here."

Shen Fang found Li Xuewu's words interesting and laughed, "Alright then, remember to tell me when you hold the wedding. This is your housing material, this is the child's household registration information, and the grain and non-staple food ration books have all been registered at your factory."

Li Xuewu picked them up, looked them over, found no problems, and put them back into the file bag.

Li Xuewu drank a cup of water, took a full set of police uniforms from the cabinet—coat, duty belt, leather shoes, raincoat, flashlight, and other equipment—and bundled them up with the coat, carrying it in his hand.

"Only a new recruit like you can get such a complete set. If you want to get another one, it'll be a long, long time," Shen Fang said with envy.

Li Xuewu didn't care, picked up the file bag from the table again, stood up, and said to Shen Fang, "Thanks for the household registration and housing procedures. I know you're busy; if you don't have time when I get married, you don't have to come."

As he spoke, he hugged his things and walked out.

Shen Fang happily said to Li Xuewu's back, "Then it's settled. I'll definitely be busy then."

Who knew that Li Xuewu, walking to the door, would say while closing it, "You don't have to come, as long as the gift arrives." After saying that, he "bang" closed the door.

A laugh and curse came from inside the door: "Go to hell!"

Hahahaha!

Li Xuewu laughed, celebrating that he had won back a round, and walked out. When he reached the lobby, he stopped to look at the photos of the leadership team on the wall.

This photo in the Deputy Director column was submitted to the Personnel Department after Li Xuewu became the Security Li Kezhang. The clerk at the Personnel Department asked for two, and he didn't expect one to be hung here as well.

He looked carefully; the Director and the Instructor were both uncle-level in age, and Shen Fang wasn't young either. Only he could be considered a "little fresh meat" in this team.

But the scar on his face slightly affected "Li Suoer's" handsome appearance.

"Damn! So ugly! There isn't a single good-looking person on this wall!"

"Giggle~"

As soon as Li Xuewu finished muttering, he heard a crisp laugh behind him.

Li Xuewu turned his head abruptly and saw a "rival to Xishi" with bright eyes, white teeth, a melon-seed face, and a beauty that could shame the moon and flowers, standing behind him, laughing happily because of his words.

The police uniform didn't constrain her perfect curves; instead, it reflected the saying, "Chinese daughters have high aspirations; they don't love red dresses, they love military uniforms."

Since Li Xuewu came to this era, this was the first time he had seen such a spirited girl.

Unlike other women of this era, what flashed in this girl's eyes was a kind of light called "liveliness."

Seeing Li Xuewu turn around and look at her, the female officer restrained herself slightly, smiled, called out "Li Suoer," and then said, "Why are you belittling yourself?"

Hearing the question, Li Xuewu reacted, hurriedly collected his emotions, and replied with a smile, "It was Old Shen—ah, it was your Deputy Director Shen who said my photo was here, so I came to take a look and made a casual joke. Are you new? Why haven't I seen you before?"

The female officer said coquettishly, "I should be the one saying that. My name is Ji Yuxiu, and I am the propaganda officer and internal affairs officer at the station. I've been here for over a year, and I was the one who pasted your photo up."

Hearing this little voice, Li Xuewu's heart felt a bit soft. This girl's voice was truly crisp and full of vitality.

"I'll call you Little Ji... hmm, better call you Yuxiu. How old are you?"

Ji Yuxiu blushed a little at Li Xuewu's previous words and said in a low voice, "I'm 18."

Li Xuewu nodded with a grin and asked, "Do you have any study abroad experience or have you been abroad?"

Ji Yuxiu looked up in surprise, met Li Xuewu's probing eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "My father and mother both work in foreign affairs units."

Hearing Ji Yuxiu say this, Li Xuewu knew why this girl was so lively. He couldn't ask about this anymore, so he asked casually, "Then why were you assigned to the police station? It would be much better to go to a foreign affairs unit."

This Ji Yuxiu was clearly a girl from an ivory tower who hadn't seen much of the world. Hearing Li Suoer ask her a question, she replied, "My parents are busy and don't have time to take care of me. It's my brother who takes care of me. My brother is in the Investigation Department..."

"Stop! Don't say any more. If you say any more, I won't be able to get out of this door. Why are you so honest, girl? You dare to say anything?"

Ji Yuxiu felt a bit aggrieved: "You are a leader, so I have to answer truthfully when you ask."

Li Xuewu only then realized he was "Li Suoer." He hurriedly freed a hand holding the clothes and pointed at Ji Yuxiu, saying, "Don't tell anyone about this in the future. If anyone asks about your background, just say it's from the bureau. If they ask for details, go home and tell your brother. Do you hear me?"

Ji Yuxiu nodded and said, "I haven't told anyone, only the Director, the Instructor, and Officer Shen know."

Damn!

Old Shen, that bastard, set him up!

It must be revenge for him impersonating him!

Old Shen knew what kind of person he was. Once he mentioned a "rival to Xishi," he wouldn't be able to resist taking a look. Once he looked, he would flirt, and once he flirted, it would explode!

Old Shen! You just wait for me!

A gentleman does not take revenge until the time is right! ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
