Thinking this way, Fang Ze didn't explain his transaction with the Jiang Family to Nan Yi. He collected his thoughts and then had Nan Yi lead the way, ready to go see the Jiang Family's visitors.
Following Nan Yi, Fang Ze descended the stairs all the way down to the Security Bureau's first-floor lobby.
Upon reaching the lobby of the Security Bureau, before he could see the representatives from the Jiang Family, Fang Ze found that most of the Commissioners were gathered there, primarily male.
These male Commissioners were all pretending to deliver documents, or they were pretending to huddle together discussing work.
However, from the way their eyes occasionally darted in a certain direction, it was clear they... had no intention of working at all!
Truth be told, after spending two months at the Security Bureau, Fang Ze felt that everything was good about the place except that the Commissioners were too gossip-prone.
He had no idea how the previous director cultivated this habit among them, but ever since Fang Ze's first day at the Security Bureau, the Commissioners had been this gossipy.
After becoming the director himself, he initially found this atmosphere hard to get used to and wanted to manage this unhealthy trend. But when he inquired and investigated, he discovered that although the Commissioners gossiped, they only circulated news internally and never leaked it. Thus, Fang Ze found himself surprisingly lacking a reason to control the Commissioners' "hobbies"...
So, he turned a blind eye.
Seeing so many Commissioners gathered now, Fang Ze knew he had arrived at the "target" location.
Looking at the crowd in front of him, he put his hand to his mouth and deliberately coughed twice.
The gossiping Commissioners heard the cough and couldn't help but look over. When they saw Fang Ze had arrived, they quickly made way, then looked at him with curious faces as he walked in.
After walking a dozen steps inside, past the Commissioners, Fang Ze made it to the center of the lobby and then... he saw two strong-looking groups of Black Clothed people escorting an old man dressed in steward's attire, standing there.
Next to these people stood 10 captivatingly beautiful women, dressed lightly, with exceptionally attractive appearances, and also... bearing features of a Different Race.
For example, the leading woman, although her upper body was identical to a human's, her lower half was a long serpentine tail.
For example, the two tall beauties behind her had pure white skin, eyes slightly tinged red, and large, cute ears not on the sides of their heads, but on top.
And then there was... at the end of the queue, a nearly 1.9-meter-tall beauty with tiger-like agility in her graceful figure, radiating wildness and a touch of arrogance in her eyes, with a faint "king" mark on her forehead.
And next to her, a little cutie around 1.4 meters tall, with a delicate appearance, tiny sharp horns on her head like a little deer.
And others... each with their own charm, each with their own temptation.
Seeing these bewitching Different Race beauties with characteristics that made his heart race, Fang Ze immediately understood why the entire Security Bureau's Commissioners had run down to gawk at the visitors from the Jiang Family and why no one minded their own business.
After all... cracking cases is no match for pretty girls!
If Fang Ze were them, he reckoned he wouldn't go look at case files either!
As Fang Ze thought this, Steward Jiang from the Jiang Family also noticed him.
His gaze flickered slightly, then his face was filled with a smile as he approached, "Commissioner Fang Ze, hello. I am the steward of the Jiang Family, named Jiang Qi."
"I was ordered by our Family Head to come and interface with you."
Hearing his words, Fang Ze came back to his senses, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Hello. Steward Jiang, then... shall we talk in my office?"
The old steward didn't refuse but just nodded with a smile.
While leading the Jiang Family's people to his office, Fang Ze maintained a smiling facade and chatted with the old steward, but in reality, he was cursing Jiang Cheng's father to the high heavens.
He just knew that driving a hard bargain with the Jiang Family and finalizing the transaction would leave them feeling raw. So, it was very likely they would cause some kind of trouble.
Sure enough... this was like giving him a dose of eye medicine.
Although he negotiated four conditions with the Jiang Family, those 10 Different Race beauties were actually just extras. Fang Ze had no intention of keeping them for himself!
But who could have known that the Jiang Family would deliberately bring these ten beauties to the Security Bureau and publicly "offer" them to him.
If this incident got out, Fang Ze's "weakness" would be exposed!
In the future, if other people kept sending him beauties, what would he do!
This was nothing but a constant test of Fang Ze's willpower!
Couldn't they have discreetly sent them to his house?!
While internally criticizing the Jiang Family's lack of integrity, Fang Ze led the old steward to his office.
At the office door, Steward Jiang had the Black Clothed people and the ten Different Race beauties wait outside, then followed Fang Ze into his office.
In the office, Fang Ze and Steward Jiang didn't need to keep up appearances anymore.
Fang Ze, keeping his composure, said, "Steward Jiang, the Jiang Family's sincerity doesn't seem quite sufficient."
The old steward, with an honest-to-goodness face, replied, "You're too serious, Commissioner. As soon as our Family Head heard that Mister Jiang Cheng had been invited by you to the Security Bureau, he immediately knew you might be dissatisfied with the speed of our preparations."
"That's why he urged us to work overtime to gather everything and deliver it to you."
