The Case of Love

Chapter 6 The macho man acts like a baby
Back in the office, Zhou Yifeng called everyone to a summary meeting. At the meeting, he affirmed Su Xiaohan's performance in solving the case.

After the meeting, Li Zhisong approached Su Xiaohan and whispered, "Junior sister, you don't know that Captain Zhou rarely praises people during meetings. Today, he praised you in front of everyone, which means he is very satisfied with you!"

"Really? Captain Zhou never praises you?" Su Xiaohan couldn't believe it.

Li Zhisong nodded fiercely, lowered his eyes and said, "That's right, at least I've never been praised by Captain Zhou."

"It's okay, don't be discouraged, perform well, and Captain Zhou will praise you in the future!" Su Xiaohan made a "come on" gesture to encourage him.

Li Zhisong smiled. His junior sister was really optimistic.

Towards evening, Zhou Yifeng announced an important news in the group: he would treat everyone in the team to dinner in the evening.

As soon as the news was released, there was an uproar, and the comments below were basically the same.

"Boss, is this true? Am I seeing things?"

"Boss, I checked the calendar and it's not April 4st this year. That puts me at ease."

"Boss, have you booked a restaurant? Lobster or hot pot? You're inviting us here with great difficulty, so we have to choose a good place."

……

Words like these flooded the group like crazy.

Judging from the tone of the people in the team talking in the group, Su Xiaohan guessed that Zhou Yifeng should be the kind of leader who is strict at work but treats his subordinates very well in normal times, otherwise everyone would not be so relaxed.

Just as she was wondering what kind of person Zhou Yifeng was, Zhou Yifeng sent another message. This time, the group was completely in an uproar.

What Zhou Yifeng said was: Where to go for dinner, Su Xiaohan decides.

"Xiao Han is so proud! The boss treated us and she decided the place."

"Xiao Han, what is your relationship with the boss? Tell the truth!"

……

Ma Nan and the others started to make a scene, but Li Zhisong couldn't stand it any longer and stood up for justice, "Stop it! If you ask me, the boss asked my junior sister to book a place for a reason. My junior sister is a newcomer to our criminal police team, and she's the only girl. The boss is treating us to a meal to welcome my junior sister to join our team, right?"

While talking, Li Zhisong glanced at Zhou Yifeng from time to time. Zhou Yifeng did not express his opinion, nor did he refute him. In everyone's opinion, he acquiesced.

After get off work in the evening, the team followed Zhou Yifeng and set off together. Su Xiaohan got into Zhu Xiaofeng's car again, Zhou Yifeng sat in the co-pilot seat, and she sat in the back seat.

Zhou Yifeng asked her to choose a place, but she naturally didn't dare to say anything and left the decision to Zhou Yifeng.

After driving on the road for nearly an hour, the car stopped in front of a barbecue restaurant. Su Xiaohan smiled secretly. Zhou Yifeng also liked to eat this, which was quite consistent with her preference.

As soon as Zhou Yifeng and his team entered the store, they were surrounded by people in the store.

"Yifeng, who is this girl? Your girlfriend?" Seeing several newcomers, some of whom were beauties, the shop owner asked Zhou Yifeng with a smile.

"No, she is a newcomer to our team!" Zhou Yifeng denied immediately.

"The girl is pretty. It's great to have a new policewoman in your team!" The shop owner looked Su Xiaohan up and down without hesitation and praised her sincerely. Zhou Yifeng also looked at Su Xiaohan like him, but didn't say anything.

After entering the private room and everyone sat down, Su Xiaohan found out that the shop owner was Zhou Yifeng's cousin.

Zhou Yifeng was not stingy, it was just that they had been too busy recently. Sometimes they worked on cases until late at night, and sometimes they had to stay in the bureau, so they hadn't had dinner together for a long time.

Zhou Yifeng chose this time to treat everyone, firstly to welcome Su Xiaohan, and secondly to let everyone relax.

However, they have a rule for eating, only eating, no drinking, at most a few drinks. Due to the special profession of criminal police, they must stay sober at all times.

Su Xiaohan has never touched alcohol and has no interest in it at all. However, Ma Nan, Zhu Xiaofeng and others are a little itching to try it.

"Boss, it's so late, something must have happened. Why don't we have a drink together, just a little." Ma Nan looked at Zhou Yifeng with pleading eyes.

Zhou Yifeng smiled without saying anything and just shook his head.

"Boss, just drink a little, a small cup." Zhu Xiaofeng chimed in.

Zhou Yifeng still didn't say anything, just shook his head.

“Boss——” This time, Ma Nan twisted his body and started the tough guy and coquettish mode.

Li Zhisong, who was sitting next to him, was disgusted and pushed him, saying, "Old Ma, you are too disgusting. Is it worth it to make everyone run out and vomit just to drink some wine?"

"Hahaha……"

Li Zhisong's words made everyone at the table laugh. Zhou Yifeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ma Nan, it's useless even if you twist yourself 180 degrees. There are plenty of skewers. You can order as much as you want and take it home! You must not drink alcohol!"

Although Zhou Yifeng had a smile on his face, his attitude was very firm. Seeing that his tricks were useless, Ma Nan gave up.

Before long, the beef skewers, mutton skewers, beef tendons, sparerib skewers, tripe pot, etc. they ordered were all served. Zhou Yifeng used water instead of wine and toasted everyone.

As a newcomer in the team, Su Xiaohan expressed her stance to Zhou Yifeng, which roughly meant that she would work hard, learn from her predecessors, improve her physical fitness, and thank Zhou Yifeng for treating her to a meal.

Speaking of improving physical fitness, Ma Nan patted his chest and said, "Xiao Han, you are the only girl in our team, and you are a national treasure in our team! When there is a capture mission in the future, we will go ahead and you can just support us from the rear. So, in terms of improving physical fitness, you just need to run when you have nothing to do."

"Ma Nan is right! We are so many grown men, how can we let a girl like you do it! Leave the arrest to us!" Zhu Xiaofeng also agreed.

"Hey, hey, hey, you guys are underestimating my junior sister. Have you forgotten the story I told you about Su Xiaohan bravely catching a perverted man?" Li Zhisong retorted before Su Xiaohan could respond.

After hearing his reminder, Ma Nan and Zhu Xiaofeng both remembered and apologized to Su Xiaohan with a fist bump.

Su Xiaohan was very moved after hearing their words. When she put on the police uniform, she became a people's police officer just like them. Women are not weak, and she is even less so. She must not hide behind her teammates for protection. She is a comrade-in-arms and colleague who fights side by side with them.

After thinking for a while, Su Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yifeng, then looked around and said: "Captain Zhou, teammates, I am very grateful for your concern and care for me. However, rather than being protected by you, I would rather stand shoulder to shoulder with you. I remember I heard a song before, it seems to be called "Police Duty", there are a few lyrics like this: 'Facing the muzzle of a gun, are you afraid? Facing doubts, are you depressed? Facing danger, do you hesitate? Don't forget, you are a policeman!'"

Su Xiaohan's words echoed in the private room. Although she looked elegant and gentle, her voice was sonorous and powerful, and extremely contagious. After she finished speaking, Zhou Yifeng took the lead in applauding.

Everyone is more relaxed in this chapter.
