It was almost one o'clock in the morning when Yu Zhesen returned to his residence.
Roommate Shen Yunqiu was wearing pajamas, half-crouching and half-kneeling next to a coffee table filled with miscellaneous items, playing with an old-fashioned laptop computer. There was also a box of still-warm instant noodles at hand.
Seeing his appearance, Yu Zhesen knew that he must have been called up by his boss in the middle of the night to work overtime and change the plan.
"Where have you been?" Shen Yunqiu heard the movement coming from the entrance and asked without looking back.
"Bar."
"Isn't it? Don't forget that you have a blind date after dawn." Shen Yunqiu reminded, "Do you want to yawn in front of a girl with dark circles under your eyes during the day?"
"It's not that exaggerated."
Yu Zhesen sat down next to him, took out his mobile phone and opened his personal account.
There is new transaction information on his personal account.
"Lottery bonus income" points have been deducted from various tax points.
The bonus income this time exceeded the total bonus he received from the previous two winning bets.
Because the rules dictate that the winners share the prize pool equally, Yu Zhesen encountered multiple winners in the first two rounds.
But tonight, victory seems to belong to him alone.
But why were so many points deducted? Yu Zhesen opened his mouth in shock and carefully confirmed the number of points deducted.
In addition to the personal income tax, he was also levied an additional 10% advance single tax.
"Citizen ID Yu Zhesen, you are over 22 years old. According to the Iron Dome Park Management Act, if you do not register to start a family within the year, the single tax levied on you in the next year will be increased from the original 10% to 30%."
"For the prosperity and rejuvenation of mankind, we urge every citizen to consciously fulfill their obligations of marriage and childbirth."
Yu Zhesen resisted the urge to throw his phone: "You sister, duty, don't you have any new words?"
Shen Yunqiu couldn't help but glance at him, and happened to glance at the numbers on Yu Zhesen's personal account, and was shocked from ear to ear.
"I'll go, deposit 310,000? Where did it come from?"
"I worked hard from dawn to dusk for two years..."
Shen Yunqiu had a "?" expression on his face, obviously calling you a liar.
"Don't worry, just listen to me." Yu Zhesen took a deep breath: "I worked hard from dawn to dusk for two years to save two or three thousand, plus the three hundred and eighty thousand I won in the lottery tonight."
Shen Yunqiu suddenly felt very disillusioned with life. The instant noodles at hand no longer tasted good. The half-changed planning document on the laptop screen seemed to be able to read the words between the words - two words were written all over the page: "Clown" ”.
With a "beep" sound, Yu Zhesen suddenly brought his left wrist over and brushed it on Shen Yunqiu's bracelet.
"Transfer received, 250,000 SP points have arrived." Shen Yunqiu's mobile phone sent a voice prompt.
"Yu Zhesen, you..."
"Go and complete the formalities early tomorrow and pick up your family from the development zone as soon as possible. Uh-huh... I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep first." Yu Zhesen patted him on the shoulder and yawned as he walked towards his bedroom. .
"Hey...wait! You..."
"Old Shen, daddy loves you, good night."
Before Shen Yunqiu finished speaking, Yu Zhesen closed the door of his bedroom.
Looking at the 250,000 points added to his account out of thin air, Shen Yunqiu didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
He lowered his head and stared at the screen of his mobile phone for a long time, until a drop of water bloomed on the screen.
Shen Yunqiu suddenly came to his senses, sniffed, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, clicked on Yu Zhesen's profile picture and sent him a message: "I borrowed this 250,000 from you, and I will definitely pay you back!"< /p>
Lying on the bed, Yu Zhesen glanced at the message sent by Shen Yunqiu, smiled and did not reply.
Lao Shen is indeed a loyal person!
Therefore, Yu Zhesen is willing to help Shen Yunqiu regardless of gain or loss.
……
The next day, Yu Zhesen was still woken up by the annoying blind date reminder sound of his electronic bracelet.
It was the same clichés that he could almost recite by heart.
"Citizen ID Yu Zhesen, good morning. The blind date arranged for you by the Qidao City Marriage and Childbirth Bureau in Iron Dome Paradise will be held at 10:30 am today. Please be sure to go to the designated location on time."
"Warm tip: Arriving 5 to 10 minutes early can show that you value the other person and make it easier to leave a good first impression. I wish you a smooth blind date."
I took out my phone and took a look, it was 8:33.
These people are really good at urging people to die...
The specific information about the blind date has been sent to his mobile phone.
Meeting location: Main entrance of Dream Journey Theme Park, Youbu District.
Blind date: Citizen ID Chu Yuexi. 22 years old, employee of Iron Dome Park Security Bureau.
"He's actually a civil servant..."
The information shows a decent ID photo. A girl named Chu Yuexi has short, crisp hair, regular and delicate features, and a mole under the corner of her left eye that is not particularly obvious.
If evaluated objectively, it's quite interesting.
Although at first glance, Yu Zhesen was not impressed.
"Eh? Have I seen this person somewhere?" Yu Zhesen stared at the photo and thought carefully.
Three seconds later, I suddenly realized - wasn't this the intern from that night!
What is this? Fate? Coincidence? Or conspiracy?
Yu Zhesen couldn't help but recall what Bi Yuansheng said. The Iron Dome Paradise Management Bureau was purposely bringing together young people with genetically matched abilities through blind dates.
"I'm leaving first. I'm going to be late for work. Brother, I wish you a smooth blind date today."
Shen Yunqiu held a compressed biscuit in his mouth and did not forget to send his blessings before leaving.
Yu Zhesen shook his head, whether it went well or not, he just hoped that the intern wouldn't hold a grudge too much.
After all, it was just a prank to electrocute her for the second time before leaving Huayuan Court that night.
After putting on the men's suit that An He brought to him, tying his tie and combing his hair in a serious manner, Yu Zhesen looked in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh.
It is true that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.
The young man in the mirror, handsome and tall in the wind, is completely different from the drowned rat who braved the wind and rain to deliver express the night before yesterday.
Of course, half of this is due to An He's vision in choosing clothes.
The blind date location is in Youbu District, north of Xiasu District, which is the most prosperous island district of the Fourth Renaissance City "Qidao" and has concentrated more than 70% of the commercial and entertainment venues in Qidao City.
Dream Journey Theme Park is a comprehensive business park that covers an area equivalent to a standard golf course and integrates shopping, dining and entertainment.
Yu Zhesen and Shen Yunqiu would not go to this kind of place on weekdays. Both of them are minimalists in life.
But things are different today.
The marriage and education department that plans the blind date event will bear the cost of the day's activities for the young people on the blind date, and the work of both parties must also unconditionally make way for the date.
Because the Iron Dome Authority desperately wants to revitalize the population.
But Yu Zhisen has little awareness of the Iron Dome Park Management Bureau's ambitious revitalization plan.
He only knew that he and the intern would temporarily become VIP guests of the Dream Journey Theme Park today, experience all catering and entertainment services for free, and enjoy significant discounts on shopping.
As for the upcoming single tax...
After all, isn’t there still a one-year buffer period? He showed a bright smile as if he was trying to show off his soul. We’ll talk about it then.
If it really doesn't work, it's not impossible to reconsider working in the Security Bureau.
Instead of thinking about distant things, it’s better to spend the funds for today’s activities.
Take the intercity high-speed train that circles Qidao to Youbu District, and get off directly at Dream Journey Theme Park Station.
The exit of the station is facing the main entrance of Dream Journey Theme Park.
The traffic light on the opposite side of the sidewalk changed from red to green, and the electronic light wall barriers with "No Passage" suspended at both ends of the zebra crossing disappeared. Yu Zhesen crossed the road while searching for the intern.
Finally, his eyes landed on the ice cream cart selling ice cream at the entrance to the park.
The sign on the cart clearly says "Royal Tower Ice Cream" in colorful fonts.
The uncle wearing a chef's hat carefully held the giant ice cream balls nearly 50 centimeters high with colorful cream balls piled one on top of the other, and handed them to the short-haired girl wearing a pink sports coat in front of the stall.
As soon as Chu Yuexi took the Royal Tower ice cream, someone tapped her shoulder from behind.
"What a coincidence, interns, we meet again."
Her body trembled obviously, but she held the giant ice cream in her hand very steadily.
"You like this? You can't tell, my childish innocence is still there." Yu Zhesen's mean voice sounded in her ears.
She turned around slowly and looked at Yu Zhesen with her big eyes.
Yu Zhesen's formal attire is in sharp contrast to her casualness.
"Well... our painting styles seem to be different..." Chu Yuexi was a little embarrassed.
"It doesn't matter, don't worry about these details."
Yu Zhesen glanced at the service desk at the entrance of the park. The etiquette lady in a red cheongsam was smiling at them.
"Senior Yu...?" Chu Yuexi seemed to be struggling with what to call him.
"I told you I'm not from the Security Bureau, so don't call me senior." Yu Zhesen waved his hand.
Chu Yuexi looked at him doubtfully.
"I'm curious why I can use the security bureau's armed system?" Yu Zhesen smiled, "Is it possible that I am a hacker with excellent professional capabilities?"
Chu Yuexi responded seriously: "It is illegal to hack into the armed system of the Security Bureau. If that is the case, you may be exiled to open up wasteland."
"If you don't say it, no one will know."
"..."
Chu Yuexi is still not used to his ease and familiarity.
She still had many questions in her mind, but Yu Zhesen seemed to make it clear that he didn't want to tell the truth.
Among the crowd in the distance, there is a clown in strange clothes with a bunch of balloons tied to his arm, followed by a cute cartoon bear puppet.
"Commissioner from the front, joker Lin, reported that our prince and Cinderella have successfully met, and they seem to hit it off immediately."
"Nice, this is a good start, keep following up." A magnetic, deep female voice came from the earphones.
"Received, the 145th issue of Dream Journey Love Story, Tangtang starts up! Hey Kuma-chan, let's get to work." The clown patted the cartoon bear puppet.
A black and thick cigar protruded from the stuffed bear's mouth. After slightly adjusting the angle and direction, the sound of the camera focusing was made again.
The real-time footage is transmitted back to the black hall located underground at the Qidao City Security Bureau branch with almost no delay.
"Amazing, which genius came up with this secret photography technique? Or is it that our Seven Islands Branch is full of talented people?" The woman sitting in front of the huge LCD screen was amazed.
"Calm down, Instructor Claire."
An He, who was wearing a slim-fitting black uniform skirt, gently fiddled with the bangs on her forehead and reminded the excited silver-haired beauty beside her: "This is the tactical command center of the Security Bureau..."
"I'm very calm, Xiao An is obviously the one who's nervous."
Claire leaned sideways on the console. This angle made her proud breasts, which were almost about to open the buttons of her suit, look even fuller and more stylish.
An He had a stern look on his face, his clenched fists resting on the table as if nothing else: "I would certainly be nervous about using my important family members as tools to solve crimes..."
"You have to believe in Xiao Yu's ability." Claire comforted, "Among the students I have taught, he is good enough to rank in the top three."
Seeing that An He was silent, Claire magically took out two cans of beer from under the console.
She opened one of the cans and pushed it to An He: "It's useless even if you stretch yourself like a bow now, why not recharge your batteries and just watch an episode of soap opera."
An He's cold eyes dropped and fell on an opened letter in front of them.
"Please release the favored apostle of the returning God immediately, otherwise God's wrath will be vented in the most prosperous place of the Seven Islands."
