Chapter 513 A Clue
To Jiang Zhizhi's surprise, Chu Fenghe actually slammed his fist on the table and guaranteed the housing issue.
This is currently the most difficult problem to solve. People like those in their lab don't belong to the university or the hospital; they are from a department that was separated from the Ministry of Health.
I have no idea which department to contact to resolve my housing problem.
The school's staff housing complex definitely can't provide them with housing, so where else can they get housing outside?
The authorities have been making excuses and stalling on resolving the issue.
Chu Fenghe actually dared to guarantee that he could solve the problem.
His promise instantly excited the group, making them enjoy their meal more. They exclaimed, "Team Leader Chu, if you solve our housing problem, you'll be a true benefactor to our whole family!"
"Yes, Team Leader Chu, once the housing issue is resolved, you can rest assured about your work. I guarantee that all tasks will be completed."
Chu Fenghe smiled and said, "Don't get excited yet. It's impossible to solve all the housing problems at once. I'll try my best to solve one house at a time."
The group nodded in agreement, indicating that they understood.
On the way back, Xiao Zhang and Jiang Zhizhi shared an umbrella, falling behind the others.
Xiao Zhang, holding Jiang Zhizhi's arm, said in a very low voice, "Do you think Team Leader Chu can do it? Help us solve our housing problem?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head: "I don't know either. Since he dared to guarantee it, there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Xiao Zhang is worried again: "Just now, five people were without housing, and there are other office workers as well. In total, there are probably more than a dozen people without housing. If there are only two or three apartments, how are we going to distribute them?"
"Teacher Jiang, do you think I should give Team Leader Chu a gift?"
Jiang Zhizhi shook her head again: "I really don't understand this. Why don't you go home and discuss it with your family?"
She really couldn't give anyone advice.
Xiao Zhang's face was full of longing: "I wish my family could be allocated an apartment. It doesn't have to be too big, just two bedrooms would be fine. Right now, the three of us, my parents-in-law, and my sister-in-law, six people in total, are crammed into one apartment."
"It's so embarrassing, Teacher Jiang, you wouldn't understand this kind of pain."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't dare to say anything, after all, she not only didn't have such troubles now, but also lived in a small two-story house that everyone envied.
But in her heart, she thought to herself that if Chu Fenghe could really get a house, all her colleagues would be vying to work for him.
They will trust him and rely on him more.
He had completely completed the first step in winning people's hearts. From then on, these people would be willing to be used.
The rain continued until the end of the workday. Jiang Zhizhi opened her umbrella and left the school gate, preparing to take the bus.
Fang Hua called out from his car by the roadside, "Zhizhi, get in the car quickly."
The two little ones were also pressed against the car window, banging on the glass and calling, "Mommy, Mommy..."
Jiang Zhizhi was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't expected Fang Hua to call a car to pick her up with two children.
As she was about to walk over with her umbrella, Chu Fenghe suddenly appeared out of nowhere and asked with a smile, "Teacher Jiang, are those your two children? They're so good-looking."
Jiang Zhizhi turned around, smiled and greeted them, then quickly walked towards the car.
She didn't want Chu Fenghe to see what the two children looked like at all.
Fang Hua waited until Jiang Zhizhi got into the car and said with a smile, "I was going to have the driver come pick you up, but these two little darlings were crying anxiously at home, so I decided to bring them along to pick you up."
Jiang Zhizhi squeezed into the back row and picked up Shang Shang to sit on her lap: "Look at them, they're so happy after going out for a while."
Shang Shang and Xiao Zhou chattered on and on, and because they spoke so fast, Jiang Zhizhi couldn't understand a lot of what they were saying. She could only smile and nod in response.
When they arrived home, Zhou Xiye had just entered the house.
Fang Hua was a little puzzled: "Why are you only getting back now? Did you go to Song Dong's place for the whole day?"
Zhou Xiye glanced at Jiang Zhizhi, then explained, "No, I went to take care of some other things."
Fang Hua was busy in the kitchen helping Zhou Chengyu and the aunt make dumplings, and ignored Zhou Xiye.
Zhou Xiye picked up his daughter and said to Jiang Zhizhi, "The one who died in the back mountain is really Chen Liqin. He was stabbed five times and bled to death."
"The killer wasn't very strong, so none of the five stabs were very deep; one of them was stabbed in the femoral artery."
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at the kitchen, then pulled her son with one hand and Zhou Xiye with the other: "Come on, let's talk in the bedroom."
I went back to the bedroom, took off the two children's shoes, ripped off their coats and pants and threw them on the bed, letting them run wild on the bed.
Then he asked Zhou Xiye, "Why did you die in the back mountain?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "It's still under investigation. Also, there's a sack next to Chen Liqin containing venomous snakes. It looks like he's planning to release all these snakes on the mountain."
Jiang Zhizhi frowned: "His death was too coincidental, and now the clues have gone cold again. Besides, it rained yesterday, so there's no trace left."
Song Dong even came here for this case; the more bizarre it was, the more challenging it felt.
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't figure this out, then suddenly remembered that Zhou Xiye had just walked in: "You went to see Qin Hongmei again this afternoon?"
Zhou Xiye quickly shook his head: "No, I went to Zhao Haiyang. He knows people in Shanghai. I asked him to help investigate Chu Fenghe."
Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed and slapped her forehead: "Why go through all this trouble? Just ask my dad. He worked in Shanghai for many years, so he must have a lot of connections there."
As they were talking, they heard a noise in the living room, followed by Fang Hua calling out, "Zhizhi, Xingzhou is here."
Shang Shang and Xiao Zhou got busy first, reaching out to help her put on her shoes: "Uncle's here, Uncle's here."
Jiang Zhizhi's eyes lit up, and she winked at Zhou Xiye: "Isn't this a perfect opportunity? Xingzhou grew up in Shanghai, so he must know a lot of people."
The two children put on their shoes and ran out eagerly, calling out "Uncle!" repeatedly.
Shang Xingzhou smiled and picked up the two little ones, one in each arm, and spun them around the room, making the two children giggle.
He played with the children, then sat down with them in his arms: "Look, what did your uncle bring back for you?"
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the two large, bulging bags at Shang Xingzhou's feet and asked curiously, "Where did you go for the New Year?"
Shang Xingzhou chuckled: "I'm back in Shanghai. I originally wanted to come back for the New Year, but I hadn't seen a few of my childhood friends for many years, so we got together."
After saying that, he added, "Anyway, Lao Shang is busy during the Spring Festival, taking Mom around to social events, so he has no time to take care of me."
As they talked, they started taking out gifts for Shangshang and Xiaozhou.
The two little ones squatted down next to the bag, watching longingly.
Shang Xingzhou took out a Barbie doll and handed it to Shang Shang: "This is for Shang Shang, little princess. Do you like it?"
Shangshang glanced at it, then waved her little hand away, saying, "I don't like it, I don't want it."
Shang Xingzhou pulled out a bunch of dolls, but the little girl didn't like any of them.
"Sister, don't little girls all like dolls? Why doesn't Shangshang like them!"
Fang Hua came out with a smile: "Our Shangshang likes some strange and unusual things. She doesn't like the toys that little girls like."
Shang Xingzhou then bought some toys for Xiao Zhouji, such as guns and cars, which Xiao Zhouji really liked.
After Shang Xingzhou finished giving gifts to the two children, Jiang Zhizhi got down to business: "I need your help with something. Could you ask your friend in Shanghai to help me look up someone?"
Shang Xingzhou readily agreed: "Okay, who is it?"
"Chu Fenghe, is it..."
Before Jiang Zhizhi could finish speaking, Shang Xingzhou's eyes widened in surprise: "Who? Chu Fenghe?"
