"Please do your best to help me investigate and see if you can find this person. Maybe she is still living here with you."
Director Zheng nodded, "Okay, I'll check it out for you."
Lu Zhixia then took out a notebook from her bag, wrote down the name and age of the cleaning lady, tore off the paper, and handed it to Director Zheng with both hands.
Judging from her handwriting, Director Zheng knew that the woman in front of him was educated and looked to be in her early twenties.
The girl next to him looked a little younger. He looked away, put the note in his pocket, and then picked up his spoon to eat breakfast.
The proprietress's husband fried some more dough sticks and brought them over; this was the first time they had asked someone for a favor that wasn't for their own benefit.
Director Zheng quickly finished his breakfast and then told them, "Don't worry, I'll definitely keep this in mind. I'll look into it when I get back, and if I find anything, I'll tell the boss lady."
Lu Zhixia said, "Please, investigate this thoroughly for me. If you can find any information, I will reward you handsomely!"
Director Zheng was a seasoned veteran, and he instantly understood the meaning behind the words: if this person were found, there would be financial benefits as well.
Picking up his bag from the table, he said, "Wait for my good news!"
Then he turned and left. If this matter involves money, then I have to help him. It can't be something he just casually agreed to verbally.
After watching the person walk away, the proprietress sat down again.
“I think you can’t just keep hanging on to him. You can also go to the law enforcement office. If they can help investigate, then you can find this person no matter where he is.”
Lu Zhixia nodded, "I understand, I will go."
A few more customers came in for breakfast, and the proprietress got busy again.
Zhou An'an: "So, where are we going next?"
Lu Zhixia finished the last mouthful of tofu pudding, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, and
"The plan remains the same. I still need to go find Brother Zhou and the others first to see how the fruit looks when it arrives. I plan to ask Comrade Fu this afternoon if he can take me to the law enforcement office."
Zhou An'an: "If you're going to the law enforcement office, I can take you there, right? I have a work permit too!"
Lu Zhixia said, "Comrade Fu's sister lives here. Maybe she knows someone here. It's better than us going out alone."
Zhou An'an didn't insist any further. It was true that having acquaintances made things easier, but he only brought his work ID and didn't have any official documents. People would cooperate if they wanted to, and they wouldn't care if they didn't.
Lu Zhixia took out some money from her bag and put it under the bowl, then stood up and said to the proprietress, "We're leaving now that we've finished eating. We'll come back in a couple of days to check on things!"
"Okay, you can go ahead and get busy!" the proprietress said, waving her hand.
Lu Zhixia and Zhou An'an turned and left to take a taxi on the main road ahead.
After the proprietress finished collecting money from the next table, she came over to clear the dishes and found the money at the bottom of the bowl. When she looked up, the table was already gone.
The man walked over. "Is this the money Comrade Lu left behind?"
The proprietress said, "Yes! I said I'd treat her, but she still put the money at the bottom of my bowl."
The man comforted his wife, "Just accept it. They meant well."
The proprietress put the money into her bag. "Our business is indeed getting better and better. It's time to rent a shop. This place is too small. We can only set up a stall in the morning and can't do anything in the afternoon."
The man smiled. "Actually, I've already found a storefront and packed up my stall. I'll take you to see it."
The proprietress immediately smiled, "Really?"
The man touched the woman's face. "Of course it's real, more real than gold!"
The two exchanged a smile, realizing that happiness is as simple as theirs.
——
Lu Zhixia got out of the taxi and arrived at the agreed location. She immediately saw the big truck and Brother Biao and his group.
They were standing together, clearly discussing something.
Lu Zhixia immediately walked over to them, "When did you arrive?"
When Brother Biao saw the person in question arrive, he quickly went over.
"We arrived yesterday."
Lu Zhixia saw that apart from their tired faces, they were all fine.
"You must be tired from the journey."
Brother Biao said, "You're here just in time. I've sold all the fruit at the price you asked for."
Lu Zhixia was overjoyed, "There's not a single bit left?"
Brother Biao said worriedly, "If I had known that person would agree so readily, I should have asked for two more cents back then."
Lu Zhixia: "Making a profit in business is enough."
Brother Biao felt that he really wasn't as open-minded as Lu Zhixia.
“That person went to get the money. I made an agreement with him that the money would be exchanged for the goods.”
