Seeing Wu Shuang's incoherent expression due to excitement, Shao Jingque laughed:
"Okay, then I'll have to come over often to eat."
“Come, come, come!”
Wu Shuang's face, which had been full of sorrow all day, also broke into a smile. Suddenly, she remembered that Shao Jingque had moved out of the dormitory and had no place to live. She hesitated and said:
"Sister Jingque, where are you going to live now that you've moved to the dormitory? If you don't mind, we can squeeze in for now and move in when there's a bed available later."
Shao Jingque knew that Wu Shuang meant well, but she was not used to living in a single room with another family, let alone men and women living together, so she politely declined.
As for the housing problem, she has already thought of a solution:
Find a guesthouse to stay in tonight, and rent a house tomorrow. It would be best if she could rent a two-bedroom house so that she can have a comfortable place to stay after she reunites with Yue Feiying.
This difficulty is not a problem at all for a modern woman.
It was already quite late at this time and the bus had stopped running long ago. Shao Jingque could only carry his bags and walk to the nearest guesthouse.
After finally reaching the guesthouse, the front desk staff smiled at her when they heard she wanted to check in.
"Hello comrade, please show me your letter of introduction."
Shao Jingque, who was still exhausted, felt as if she had been struck by lightning. How could she have forgotten about this?!
These days you need a letter of introduction from the local government or your workplace to stay in a guesthouse; even money is useless.
She quickly explained:
"Hello, comrade. I'm from our city's art troupe. I'm staying here for one night and haven't had time to get a letter of introduction. Since you have to go to work early tomorrow morning, can I make up for it?"
The receptionist looked her up and down. She was pretty, like someone from an art troupe. But being pretty didn't mean she could be an introducer. Wasn't that a mistake for her?
"That won't work. You can't check in without a letter of introduction. It's the same rule everywhere."
No matter how Shao Jingque tried to persuade him, the front desk clerk refused to give in, so Shao Jingque had to think of other ways.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to go back to Yue Mansion to find Yue Feiying. It would not be a problem for the eldest daughter of the Yue family to take her in for one night, and they could also meet to discuss the next plan.
She finally carried her heavy bag back to the door of Yue Mansion and knocked for a long time before finally opening it.
Butler Wang, who had met her once before, opened the door only slightly and stared at her warily:
"Who are you looking for so late?"
Shao Jingque forced a smile from his tired face:
"Hello, I'm the guest who just attended the banquet. My name is Shao Jingque, and I came here with Captain Qu. I'm looking for Miss Yue...
When he heard that she came with Qu Jingyun, Butler Wang's expression changed instantly:
"My young lady has already gone to bed. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow!"
After saying that, he didn't listen to Shao Jingque's explanation and just closed the door, ignoring her knocking no matter how hard she tried.
Shao Jingque was speechless. Could it be that she would have to sleep on the streets tonight?
If she remembered correctly, it was still several years before the crackdown, and the social security was not very good. She, a pretty girl, was sleeping on the street... Or, should she go back to sleep in the stairwell that was full of mold and she had to cover her nose when passing by?
Just as she was hesitating, a deep and magnetic voice came from the night:
"So... your name is Shao Jingque."
