Chapter 794: Feel free to ask for anything

Captain Wen seemed to see through my thoughts. "How is it? Doesn't it seem interesting?"

I smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I have never seen these before. I think they are quite new."

He smiled and opened another door. It looked a bit like a small meeting room, about 20 square meters. It seemed that this apartment was considered a large apartment in the past.

There was a long table in the middle of the room, on which were several magazines on clothing design, as well as a book called "Fabric Technology", which seemed to be a temporary way for everyone to cram in their professional knowledge.

On one side of the long table was a whiteboard with the following scribbled words: "Daily reporting times: 9:00, 15:00, 21:00"

After leaving the room, I noticed a staircase at the end of the corridor on the right. I walked over to take a look out of curiosity, "Is there an attic here?"

"Oh, no, this building has five floors in total, and the top floor has a mezzanine. It was built in the early 1990s, and it's a rare top-floor duplex. If it were now, what would it be called?" Captain Wen was suddenly stuck, and I kindly reminded him, "Sky Villa."

"Yes, yes, that's the word. Wow, developers these days are really good at making things up. A perfectly good 120-square-meter house is built into two floors, and they even give it a new term, called a stacked villa, as if calling it that makes it seem more upscale..."

I don’t know what nerve this touched in Captain Wen, but he started complaining.

I think he was implying something about Lao Xiao.

Seeing me blinking at him, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "There are two more rooms upstairs, which are used as temporary dormitories. Usually one of them is on duty at night, and the other two can rest."

"Ah?" I was stunned. "Still want to live here?"

Captain Wen explained hurriedly, "You don't need to stay here. You only need to take care of the things that Xiao Fang needs to deal with during work. After get off work, you generally won't be involved in professional matters, so you can work according to COLLIN's schedule.

Um, do you want to go up and take a look?"

I waved my hands quickly, "No, no, I don't live here anyway."

In addition to two large rooms downstairs, there is also a small room separated by a glass sliding door.

"This was originally a study, but it's currently being used as a tea room." Captain Wen opened the door and asked, "How is it? If you need anything, just let me know."

I walked in and looked around. The tea room was not big, but it was very practically arranged. It was obviously designed to allow colleagues who had to watch the surveillance for a long time to replenish their energy at any time.

In the corner, next to a glass cabinet, stood an old-fashioned refrigerator, the direct-cooling type. On the door was a sticky note: "Please label any personal food; otherwise, it will be considered public property."

There were six or seven bottles of mineral water, two bags of potato chips, three cans of eight-treasure porridge, and several boxes of instant noodles in the glass cabinet.

I was a little surprised and said, "The operation hasn't even started yet, and they've already moved in?"

At this time, another person walked in from outside. It was the man who had been sitting in the corner. He was in his early thirties, about 1.7 meters tall, slightly fat, and not good-looking.

He was so invisible sitting in the corner that I never even thought about him.

I felt like this made me seem a bit arrogant, so I quickly said, "Captain Wen, who is this?"

Before Captain Wen could speak, the man had already introduced himself. "My name is Zhu Que. It's definitely true, not the mythical Suzaku. I'm in charge of logistics and the coordination of various departments."

I nodded and smiled at him politely, "Hello, Brother Zhu."

He smiled very kindly, "Well, as the saying goes, 'the army must be prepared before the food is ready.' Since this plan was put into practice, I've come here to make arrangements. Currently, I'm the only one living here, but other comrades will move in soon.

"Xiao Xia, the conditions here are a bit tough, but please don't be disgusted. Feel free to ask for anything you want."

Xiaoyan also came in at this time. She walked to the table against the wall. On the table was a half-worn capsule coffee machine. She skillfully took out a capsule from the drawer below. As she operated it, she smiled meaningfully and said, "Mengmeng, why do you think they are so generous and let you ask for anything you want?"

I'm a little confused. Why is this happening? It can't be because I'm cute.

I smiled and said, "Because it can be reimbursed~"

Xiao Yan glanced at Captain Wen and Zhu Que, and Captain Wen quickly replied, "Because the funding for this operation is relatively sufficient, the higher-ups have asked us to eliminate the industrial chain behind the Lu family!"

Then the two grown men laughed together, and Zhu Que scratched his head and said with a smile: "This operation is the one in which I have the least worries about funding.

Look, we're so well prepared this time, we even have a coffee machine."

I looked at the secondhand coffee machine in silence. He had the money, yet he still bought one. Next to it sat a can of instant coffee, with a sticky note scribbled on the label: "Unpalatable, but refreshing. — Luo Yong"

When the small drawer at the bottom was opened, it was filled with tea bags, sugar bags and creamer balls, with a pretty complete variety.

Captain Wen picked up the capsule next to the coffee machine and looked at it, then said with a smile, "This thing is the stolen goods we seized last time. No one in the team knows how to use it, so we kept it in the warehouse. I didn't expect you to dig it out."

I couldn't help but laugh. "They bought a second-hand coffee machine, and used confiscated coffee capsules. I really don't see how they have such ample funds."

Zhu Que shrugged nonchalantly, "Even if we have ample funds, we have to spend them sparingly, just in case they're needed elsewhere." He pointed to the refrigerator and said, "Give me whatever you want to drink, you're welcome."

I opened the refrigerator and saw bottled water, orange juice, and cola on top. There were even a few cans of beer hidden on the bottom shelf. The label read: "For celebration purposes only, do not touch!!!" with three big exclamation marks at the end.

Captain Wen followed my gaze and immediately frowned, "Who put this there? Drinking is strictly prohibited during working hours!"

At this moment, Luo Yong's voice floated in from outside: "Captain Wen, those were leftovers from last week's celebration banquet. I forgot to take them home..."

Captain Wen's expression was obviously relaxed, but he still kept a stern face and said, "I've made a note of this. If there's any shortage of a can, you'll be held responsible!"

I picked up a can of Chaowen Team and shook it. "Hopefully we'll have a celebratory drink soon."

Captain Wen laughed heartily. "Of course we will. We still have this confidence, don't you think?"

At this time, several people inside and outside the house said loudly in unison: "Yes!"

Wow, you can tell he’s well-trained!

"By the way, Captain Wen, why don't you rent a better house? This neighborhood is a bit too run-down, and the houses all smell musty."

Not to mention renting a detached villa, at least one in a slightly better community would be fine. Of course, I didn't dare to say this idea out loud as it sounded a bit wasteful.
