Chapter 27 Don’t eat the rich woman’s soft rice

Shirley is a researcher and has no control over implementation matters.

But after all, her identity is important. If she is willing to speak, Jiang Xia will indeed miss the mission.

Toru Amuro knew that Shirley's intention was good. But judging from Jiang Xia's current situation...she obviously had bad intentions and was not helping.

Maybe it was because Shirley had never been short of money since she was a child and forgot to consider this.

Toru Amuro felt a little helpless when he thought about the daughter of his first crush.

He looked at Jiang Xia and followed what Jiang Xia just said: "That person only asked you to take fewer tasks and didn't give you any subsidies?"

He was gently reminding Jiang Xia to mention this matter to Shirley. Once Shirley knew the truth, she would definitely not remain indifferent.

However, Jiang Xia had a strange look in her eyes after hearing what he said: "She gave me money, but how can I be supported by a woman as a man?"

After saying that, he looked at Toru Amuro quietly and hesitated: "You can't..."

Toru Amuro: "..."

He felt that a pot with "Soft Rice King" written on it appeared out of thin air and was gradually approaching.

The blood vessels on Amuro Toru's forehead jumped a few times: "I just asked casually."

Of course he is not trying to persuade people to eat soft food.

I simply think that it is perfectly natural for an adult to give pocket money to the children under her care, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But now, think about it...

Shirley seems to be still a minor.

Being paid to be supported by a girl of the same age, it's no wonder Jiang Xia firmly refused.

It's really troublesome to be underage...but I met two of them at once.

Shirley suddenly intervened in the middle of the matter, and Amuro Toru's attitude softened a little.

But before agreeing, he still felt weird about something: "But what do what you said have to do with you coming to me to find a part-time job?"

Jiang Xia heard the looseness in Amuro Toru's tone, and he explained:

"I accidentally rescued a kidnapped little girl before, and her father gave me a reward. Through that incident, I found that private detective seemed to be a very suitable industry for me.

“But I couldn’t find a legal guardian to sign for me, so I had to work as an apprentice in someone else’s firm.

"At that time, I happened to see your advertisement in the detective manual."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia pointed to the detective manual on the coffee table:

"Of all the detective agencies, yours is the closest to the Metropolitan Police Department.

"It's less likely to be vandalized this way. Even if someone does vandalize the store because of me, the police will arrive quickly, so I want to try my luck."

As he said that, Jiang Xia looked up at Toru Amuro again: "After entering the door, I realized that I had seen you before. Your skin color and hair color are very distinctive... Official members should be less afraid of those hooligans."

Jiang Xia looked at him with expectant eyes that said, "You can do it."

Toru Amuro was slightly speechless.

He put away the gun, picked up the detective manual on the table and flipped through it.

There are indeed advertisements for the firm.

He even forgot when it was published.

In fact, Toru Amuro doesn't need to solicit clients, nor does he need to worry about the firm's turnover - even if he loses money, he can still apply for funds from the organization.

He places advertisements from time to time just to keep the "Amuro Detective Agency" well-known.

After all, as an anonymous undercover agent, Toru Amuro cannot turn himself into a famous detective. He can only use the banner of the agency to meddle in the case.

But Tohru Amuro didn't expect that this approach would attract an apprentice who was looking for a part-time job.

Normally, Toru Amuro wouldn't care about this kind of thing.

But now...Jiang Xia sounds really miserable.

In particular, a large part of this misery seemed to be caused by Shirley.

When Toru Amuro was a child, he was cared for by Shirley's mother.

Now that Shirley's parents are both dead, although he knows rationally that he shouldn't interfere, but now, this matter has fallen into his hands, and it's still easy to do...

I feel really sorry for not helping.

Moreover, as a member of the organization, Jiang Xia's life has become so difficult, but she still wants to work honestly instead of robbing and stealing. I heard that a little girl was saved.

This kid...maybe unexpectedly very helpful.

Amuro Toru struggled for a long time, but finally lost to the conscience of the police.

He sighed and looked at Jiang Xia:

"You can come for an internship first, and I will pay you according to the normal hourly wage in the industry. But if there are any mistakes that may cause losses to the organization...you understand the consequences."

Jiang Xia was startled.

He actually had several follow-up persuasive words.

But I didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.

Could it be that the red parties in this world are more conscientious than he thought?

Anyway, as long as you can achieve your goal...

Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that he understood.
