Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

The continuous stream of rewards from the system swelled Song Yun's brain to bursting, making everything around him seem ethereal and elusive until Ouyang Jie quietly nudged him with an elbow, bringing him slowly back to reality.

"Huh?"

Song Yun hadn't heard a word the middle-aged man had just said, only sensing the envy in everyone's eyes.

Scratching his head, he flashed an innocuous smile and said, "Is that so, hehe."

"???"

"???"

"???"

Everyone present widened their eyes in disbelief, staring at Song Yun—just like that, just like that?

Holy shit!

Big brother, can you show a little excitement?

With your nonchalance, you make us all seem stupid and mercenary!!!

Even if you don't put on an air of gratitude, at least get excited for once!!!

Otherwise, you're making those big shots feel as if they aren't doing you a favor. Will such good fortune fall upon you again next time??? Discover stories with empire

"Hehe, it seems Song Yun is a bit overwhelmed by these huge benefits; please don't mind him,"

Ouyang Jie said with a compensatory smile.

The middle-aged man in front of them was the head of the Secretariat Office at headquarters, belonging to the most core group of people.

Every year countless people sought to please this VIP, hoping he would leak even the slightest unimportant piece of information from the documents he saw daily—then they could catch the next big wave and realize centuries of wealth.

Unfortunately, those in this position were all stern and impartial. Not only wouldn't they leak anything for you, but if you asked too many questions, they could make a call to the Security Department and directly send you off to tread the sewing machine in prison!

So, not wanting the VIP to get a bad first impression of Song Yun, Ouyang Jie spoke up in timely damage control.

"Ah?"

Song Yun was still dizzy, his brain nowhere near as sharp as it had been before.

Luckily, the middle-aged man quite appreciated Song Yun, and he saw in him the sort of poise that could remain unfazed even if Taishan Mountain were collapsing before his eyes.

"It's no trouble. You must be tired after getting off the plane. The higher-ups have asked me to personally take you to the guesthouse; let's head out,"

the middle-aged man said before heading off to his car on his own.

"Big brother!!! Can't you be a little more responsive?! At the very least, show some reaction!!!"

At the back of the group, Ouyang Jie pulled Song Yun along, whispering, "This is a request! A request that, as long as it doesn't cross your bottom line, brings massive resources—even the Ouyang Family head would drool over them! Why are you so wooden?"

Hearing Ouyang Jie's frustrated tone, Song Yun shook his head in disbelief and asked, "I was really lost in thought just now and didn't hear what he said. But from the sound of it, this is a big deal?"

Holy shit!!! You really are my big brother!!! My own flesh and blood!!!

Ouyang Jie, devoid of any anger due to Song Yun's reaction, relayed the middle-aged man's words once more. Only then did Song Yun realize what a qualitative leap completing this mission would bring him!!!

If before he needed the Ouyang Family's influence to withstand pressure from the major families of Yanjing City, now he could stand out on his own!

Moreover, even if he went to provoke those big families, they would undoubtedly give way!

Why?

Because Song Yun was now in the limelight, and had caught the attention of various VIPs. As long as they hadn't completely forgotten him, any open oppression would be seen as a challenge!

"This..."

Song Yun was truly stunned now.

...

The middle-aged man led his team through Yanjing City, eventually reaching a dark and secluded spot. This precious little courtyard contained only a three-story reception hall.

"Everyone, please rest here for the night. Someone will come to fetch you tomorrow, Song Yun, don't go to bed late tonight, give some thought to tomorrow's matters."

After giving Song Yun a meaningful glance, the middle-aged man left in his car.

"What kind of place is this? Why does it look so shabby?"

Great Saint scratched his head, asking curiously.

"If you don't know, shut up. This is the core reception area, and the security forces here are structured according to the standards of the inner red walls. It can be said that only those with notable achievements can enter."

Ouyang Jie gave Great Saint a contemptuous glance and walked ahead into the building.

Once they entered, the formerly dilapidated reception hall took on an antique charm. Two receptionists in cheongsams greeted the guests with a spring-like smile and helped them with the check-in procedures.

It was only once he was in his room that Song Yun finally let out a sigh of relief.

He lay on the soft bed, flipping through items in the system shop in his mind.

"Fiery Flame Palm, priced at a hundred thousand! Kind of want it; after all, which man can resist the temptation of a palm that catches fire!"

"Ice Heart Technique, priced at a hundred thousand! Hmm... it doesn't look as flashy as the one above."

"Strength Potion!!! Hmm... forget it, can't afford it with my current budget!"

Oh heavens!

Oh earth!

Can't you give me more points!!!

At this moment, Song Yun truly understood the feeling Ye Qingqing and the others had when they went shopping, wanting this and that!!!

Only, each one of Ye Qingqing and her group was a little rich miss, who could pretty much buy whatever they wanted right away!

But now, I am unequivocally broke!

Right, Ye Qingqing!

Song Yun suddenly shivered with realization, remembering he hadn't called his wife today!

If she found out he had returned and kept it from her, she would definitely not let him sleep in the bed when he got back!

Thus, Song Yun immediately took out his phone and called Ye Qingqing, and they started chatting affectionately.

In the next room, Ouyang Jie was also making a call, but he was talking to the Ouyang family patriarch.

"My dear grandson, you've completed the mission very successfully. Even though you all might not be as eye-catching as Song Yun, this will still mark a significant entry in your records!"

The Ouyang family patriarch sounded extremely excited, speaking faster and faster, "This time, Song Yun has really leapt through the dragon's gate. Previously, even with his wealth, he was just a merchant by status, but now it's different. It hasn't been that long, and that lad Song Yun has so much potential in his future!"

"Grandfather, what's the attitude from the higher-ups toward Si Ming?"

Ouyang Jie couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.

"Si Ming? Hmph! After so many years, the intelligence system is still a mess! If not for Song Yun's drastic measures this time, the mission might have failed! The higher-ups have already reached a verdict regarding his stay or departure. Don't you dare take it upon yourself to speak up.

Besides, that kid has no affiliation with us, so there's no need to speak up and let those big shots label you as factional and self-serving!"

"What should I say if they ask about it tomorrow?"

"Say what you should say!"
