ENEMIES FIRST {Wangxian, Xicheng}

Chapter 9- Wei Ying's trial

Chapter 9

"Ooh, nice house."

Wei Wuxian took a spin. "You guys sure know how to match your furniture."

Lan Xichen smiled, "Thank you, Wuxian. Now we need to acknowledge some rules. It's pretty late so I'll go through this as fast as I can."

Jiang Cheng stared at him. "It's six," he said.

"Psh, let the man speak," Wei Wuxian elbowed him. "Who cares if it's six."

Lan Xichen smiled, "There are only a few primary rules working at Bai Yun. Number one, we will take any case but nothing against the law. Number two, customers first, we help whoever our client is. And lastly, number three..."

Lan Wangji suddenly appeared and placed a mop in Wei Wuxian's hand.

"And number three, we all take turns cleaning the headquarters," Lan Xichen finished. "Which is also our house."

"Uh." Wei Wuxian looked at the mop in his hand. "You're kidding."

"No, I'm not?" Lan Xichen smiles sideways.

"The whole house?" Wei Wuxian's eyes went round like pancakes. "This whole ass building?"

"Yes, but since we have four people now, you only have to clean once a month!"

"..."

"Gee, how about that," Jiang Wanyin said wryly.

"Don't you laugh, it'll be your turn next week!" Wei Wuxian taunted.

Jiang Cheng snorted. He clearly doesn't think they would still be here in a week.

"Oh, and one last thing. Before we could truly let you into our company, you two need an evaluation test!"

"Oh, sweet, I can show off my detective skills!" Wei Wuxian said. "Just let me go get my detective hat and bubble pipe."

"An evaluation test? For this half-ass company?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"This is not half-assed," Lan Xichen said, looking a little hurt.

"Well, I hate to break it to you but I have never heard of your company before."

"Touché. Well, maybe you could help us put our company name out there. What do you think about that, Wanyin?"

"First of all, it's Jiang Wanyin to you. And second, why would I? What's in it for me?"

Lan Xichen thought for a moment. "A VIP membership card for free food at any Nie Shí?" he offered.

"???"

-

"Ugh, this is killing me," Wei Wuxian whined, flopping onto the couch. "It's not even day one yet and Lan Wangji already has me doing hard labor for him! My back hurts from scrubbing the floor!"

"You are the one who wanted to work at his company, why are you complaining? I should be complaining! You dug a grave and went to lie in it!"

Jiang Cheng criticized him while fluffing up his pillow before leaning back comfortably on the couch.

"..."

"Also, why are you exaggerating so much? This house is pretty much spotless to begin with! Just wipe down a few surfaces and be done with it!"

"No, I have- no, I will scrub down every surface! I'll show that Lan Wangji... I'll prove him-"

"Okay, whatever, but can you move? You're blocking the TV."
