Selina finished the small ball of mixed rice. Although she was still hungry, her stomach was really full.
She could only lie there and watch Luke eat.
A moment later, she asked curiously, "Why don't you use a spoon? Are those … chopsticks? Why are you so good with them? "
It wasn't that Americans couldn't use chopsticks, but most of them hadn't used them since they were young, and it was rare for them to be good with them.
Luke said, "Hehe. Maybe I was a Chinese in my previous life."
Selina thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's true. I know a few Chinese friends. Most of their fathers can cook, and they're good at it, even better than their mothers."
Luke found that odd. "All of them? And better than women? "That wasn't very common, even in China.
Selina said, "Well, their families all run Chinese restaurants here."
Luke: "…"
Most chefs in the world were male, and it was the same in America.
It wasn't that he discriminated against women, but that cooking was a job, especially when there was a lot of work involved. Cooking wasn't just technical work, but physical work.
Of course, men had the advantage when it came to skills and physical strength.
After chatting, Luke put down the bowl and said, "I'll leave the dishes to you, in case you get a belly."
"Oh," Selina finally got up and washed the two bowls.
There were very few men who cooked here, and even fewer who washed the dishes.
It was too much for Luke to ask him to do the dishes after he cooked.
Besides, Selina had to do the dishes at home too.
Luke rinsed his mouth and continued reading the news on his laptop.
He had seen Tony Stark just now, and wanted to find out why the guy was in Houston.
It would be a joke to say that this playboy's hobby was to make tin men.
It was only 2003, and Tony wasn't interested in studying tin men at all.
Stark Industries was basically an arms company right now. Strictly speaking, space technology and his company's main business were a few streets apart.
Why was this guy in Houston? That was really strange.
But after reading the news online, Luke gave up on pursuing the reason.
Tony was a playboy now, and his actions weren't logical or reasonable.
Luke wasn't going to suck up to him, so there was no need to pay attention to his every move.
The next day, the two went to work as usual.
Today, they would first go to the office of Director Thomas.
After knocking on the door and entering, Thomas had already put down the work in his hands and sized up the two of them. After a moment, he said, "I've seen your files before and know that your abilities are extraordinary. However, I have to admit that I didn't expect you to produce results on your first day at work. "
The two of them did not make a sound and just stood there obediently.
Thomas waved his hand. "Sit down."
The two of them went to the sofa and sat down.
On the other side, Thomas picked up a few documents from the table and walked over. He gave each of them a copy. "You can sign the confidentiality agreement first."
Luke signed the contract without even looking at the content.
Selina had wanted to watch, but when she saw what Luke was doing out of the corner of her eye, she immediately followed suit.
Thomas was satisfied. These two were indeed a pair made in heaven.
After the two of them signed the confidentiality agreement, he handed over the two documents in his hands. "Sign this too."
Luke opened it and signed it again.
Selina did the same.
Thomas didn't take back the two documents. "You can read the content now. If you have any questions, you can ask me here, but you can't talk about what happened yesterday after you're out of this door. "
The two of them finally read the two documents.
Luke didn't need to think too much about the confidentiality agreement. It had to be something SHIELD had done.
But the document at the back was … a promotion document.
Selina had only been a regular officer in town before, and Luke had only been an intern officer because of Robert's green light.
Robert had taken advantage of the transfer to make use of his connections with a certain expert to promote them.
Now, they had both been promoted to level 2 detectives after only one day at the Westside Houston Police Department.
The speed of their promotions would definitely make most police officers jealous.
Selina was so excited that her face was flushed. It was obvious that she was intoxicated by this sudden promotion.
Luke, on the other hand, was much calmer.
His real grand prize had been announced yesterday, and this was nothing more than a bonus.
After reading the promotion document, he understood what was going on.
The FBI had sent them a notification about yesterday's case, and Luke and Selina were credited for it.
But Cheney and his gang were fake FBI agents, and their real identity was SHIELD.
There was no way an organization like SHIELD could reward Luke and Selina, so they had sent a notification under the FBI's name to confirm their contributions.
At the same time, in order to keep their mouths shut, they had to give them more credit.
After all, Luke had saved their lives and helped them kill multiple gangsters. They couldn't just give him a gag order like they did to passersby. They had to give him something in return.
After reading the promotion document, Luke had a rough idea of what had happened yesterday.
Carol, who had been resurrected, had gone after the Mexican gang for some reason. It just so happened that Cheney's gang had tracked her down and followed her into the Mexican gang's warehouse.
As a result, the three parties had fought each other in the warehouse.
Carol had a grudge against the gang, but Cheney's gang was after her.
The gang had to deal with Carol, who had attacked them, but they could easily tell that Cheney was a cop.
Although Cheney's gang had been after Carol, they couldn't just sit back and watch the gangsters shoot at them.
Just like that, the three parties were locked in a stalemate in the warehouse.
In just a few minutes, Luke cleared the place of the criminals, let Carol go, and retreated with SHIELD's team.
Only then did this terrible battle finally end.
Carol was fine. Luke only kicked her, but she escaped safely.
SHIELD had heavily wounded one of their members, but the other three were fine.
The gangsters, on the other hand, weren't so lucky. They were the worst of the bunch, but they had been shooting randomly. Everybody was targeting them first.
Later, nine bodies and three wounded gangsters were carried out of the warehouse.
Moreover, after such a serious case occurred, the Westside Police Department took over the warehouse and turned it upside down after S.H.I.E.L.D. was done with the case.
A concealed armory was discovered. There were more than 300 different types of guns, including Iron Pineapples and even military C4s. There were also quite a few hard and black ones.
It was undoubtedly a major case.
