Shen Yao slept well, but Xu Zhi did not.

After taking a shower, he applied a thick layer of ointment on his chin and neck before lying down on the bed.

But after lying down, he kept tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Obviously his body was extremely tired and his mind was tense all day and needed to relax, but he still couldn't fall asleep.

......

the next day.

Shen Yao and Xu Zhi met at the agreed place.

Shen Yao saw the obvious band-aids on his chin and neck, and asked with concern: "Those marks haven't disappeared yet?"

Xu Zhi's expression was relatively calm: "Well, it hasn't disappeared."

Shen Yao pursed her lips and coughed lightly, feeling somewhat uncomfortably.

Xu Zhi looked up at her and handed her the menu.

With her attention diverted, Shen Yao's discomfort dissipated a little.

While eating, Xu Zhi suddenly asked Shen Yao: "What do you do for a living?"

Shen Yao who is drinking juice:?

When she was suddenly asked this, she was indeed stunned for a moment.

"I......"

Thinking of her position and identity in the security organization, her identity lurking beside Zhou Cheng, and her identity as an unemployed vagrant assigned to her by Zhou Cheng to complete the mission, she paused for a moment.

"Is it inconvenient to say?" Xu Zhi asked.

"No." Shen Yaowei raised her head and smiled at him, half-seriously saying, "My job is probably... an assistant. And it's not quite the same as an ordinary assistant. It's more like a part-time job. The work content is generally scattered. I do some work when there is work, and I'm idle when there is no work."

Xu Zhi was a little surprised. He originally thought that with her skills, she would work in a martial arts gym or something like that. He didn't expect it to be such an unrelated type of job.

So what was the kind of cooperation that she wanted to negotiate with him for when she found him?

Then, he heard Shen Yao continue to say: "Speaking of this, Mr. Xu, I just wanted to ask you, do you need a sparring partner? Just... someone who is decently skilled, has good endurance, and is very dedicated."

Xu Zhi quickly understood what she meant, "You mean, yourself? You want to be a sparring partner?"

Shen Yao nodded, her eyes full of sincerity, "Yes."

Xu Zhi looked at her, and after a moment of silence, he said, "So, this is the cooperation you wanted to discuss at the beginning?"

Shen Yao: "Well, because I know you are preparing for an important match later, I thought you would need a sparring partner. And if I am not mistaken, your left hand is far inferior to your right hand in terms of power control and flexibility. In this regard, I believe you also want to make a breakthrough quickly, right?"

Xu Zhi's expression had changed slightly, and there was a bit more inquiry and vigilance in his eyes when he looked at her.

Shen Yao continued calmly: "If I say that I can help you with this, do you believe it?"

Xu Zhi's hand holding the cutlery suddenly clenched, "What... do you want? Or, what do you want me to do for you in exchange?"

Shen Yao smiled. It was easy to talk to someone who understood things at once. "I want you to help me check something."

The first thing Xu Zhi thought of was: "Is it related to the sale of gold?"

Shen Yao picked up a piece of pineapple and put it in her mouth, then nodded.
