"Comrade, since when did guests staying at the guesthouse need to report their whereabouts to the front desk?"
His sudden retort made the color drain away from Xiaoli's originally rosy cheeks, and she opened her mouth for a long time without saying a word.
Lu Zhan seemed to be still unsatisfied. Xiao Li's words just now were particularly harsh in his ears:
"Also, as a cultural worker, her attire is completely in line with the needs of the art troupe's performances. Please speak with respect!"
After saying this, he ignored Xiaoli, who was already stunned, and went straight downstairs.
......
At the other end of Sanyuan Street, a fat woman who called herself Sister Jin was leading Shao Jingque into the second alley.
Shao Jingque watched as he walked further and further away, but the small courtyard that the outgoing Sister Jin had mentioned was nowhere to be seen. The road ahead of him became narrower and narrower, and there were fewer and fewer passers-by. He felt a strange feeling in his heart.
She slowly stopped and said:

"Sister, I'm here."
He was talking to Sister Jin, but his eyes were fixed on Shao Jingque as if glued.
Sister Jin proudly raised her chin towards him and gave him a meaningful look:
"I brought Xiao Shao to look at houses. She wants to rent a small courtyard with a separate kitchen and bathroom, and I thought your house would be just right. Why don't you let her go in and take a look!"
The man immediately stepped aside warmly:
