Chapter 314: Another Visit

As expected, people are different and envy is useless.

Fortunately, the environment of the yard where they live is not bad. There is a bathroom. Although there is only one in a yard, it is much better than other large yards that don’t even have a bathroom.

She used to be a member of a large compound. She had to go to the public toilet to empty the spittoon early every morning. She had to run outside to use the toilet, and it was even more tiring when it was cloudy or rainy.

Ever since his wife used her connections to exchange the house, he no longer has to empty the urine pool every morning.

Looking back now, it's really unbearable.

She has always been proud of living in Zaoshu Hutong and has developed a sense of superiority.

But now, not only did a little girl take over a large yard effortlessly, but people were also rushing to give her furniture and appliances.

This kind of treatment is not something that ordinary people can have. At least ordinary working-class people like them definitely don't have the ability to do so.

No wonder this girl's parents never showed up. With so many people helping her, her parents really didn't need to worry.

Aunt Zhao felt a little nervous and became even more curious about Dai Qing's parents.

But now, she was too embarrassed to ask, as it would not be good for her to make the new relationship awkward.

Dai Qing pretended not to see Aunt Zhao's complicated look and went home after breakfast.

After a quick cleaning, she sat in the living room and thought about what to do next. The house was bought, and the furniture and appliances were all ready. What should she do next? She really needed to plan it out.

Even if she doesn't settle down in the capital, she has to come here often. Now that she has set up a business, this is her second home.

It would be a great loss if it is always empty.

Just as she was leaning on the sofa in deep thought, there was a knock on the door. Dai Qing got up to open it.

Looking at Secretary Wan standing at the door, Dai Qing was confused. This person came here with Dong Zhen last night, and he came again today?

When Secretary Wan saw Dai Qing, he immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Master Dai, my boss found out yesterday that you moved to a new house, so he sent me here to give you a gift."

Secretary Wan handed over the gift box.

"This is a red clay pot that the boss had custom-made with a master chef. It is said that using this pot to brew tea will make the tea soup more mellow and sweet, and it has a health-promoting effect."

Dai Qing looked at the gift box in Secretary Wan's hand and greeted him with a smile.

"Your boss already sent a gift yesterday..."

Seeing that Dai Qing had misunderstood, Secretary Wan hurried to explain.

"Master, please don't misunderstand me. The gift from my wife yesterday was a thank-you gift. You don't know that ever since you rescued my wife, she has been thinking about you. She also sent people to wait near the bakery, but unfortunately there has been no news."

"Luckily we met the day before yesterday. The lady wanted to come and thank him in person, but my boss persuaded her to stay. The thank-you gift from the lady and the gift from my boss for the relocation are two different things."

Secretary Wan smiled awkwardly and explained it again, and he also found it funny.

This time it was indeed their fault for not conducting a thorough investigation in advance.

Frequent visits do make people feel that the purpose is not pure.

Of course, the boss's mentality has changed since he met those four people yesterday.

Dai Qing saw that her smile was a little stiff, so she stopped asking questions. After all, she was just an employee, and there was no point in making things difficult for her.

"It's a hot day. Come in and have a cup of tea."

Offering a cup of tea to guests is also a basic etiquette when entertaining them.

Secretary Wan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a relieved expression, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

I followed Dai Qing into the yard. I didn’t take a close look last night, but today I realized that this courtyard was really clean and tidy.

Maybe it was because her mindset was different, but she felt a little restrained when she stepped into the yard.

Dai Qing took Secretary Wan to the tea room next door and chuckled.

"You came at the right time. I just boiled the water. But I don't have any good tea here at the moment."

"Master Dai, you're too polite. I'm not particular. When I'm busy at work, I usually just drink boiled water to moisten my throat."

Secretary Wan smiled gently and watched Dai Qing make her a bowl of jasmine tea. When the hot water was poured into the tea bowl, the whole tea room was filled with the fragrance of jasmine.

"The master is indeed an elegant person. My boss has always said that the master is different from ordinary girls. Now it seems that there are not many people of the master's age who can calm down and sit down to drink tea."

Her task today was to gain favor points for her boss. As long as this girl could let down her guard against her boss, she would be able to develop better and longer term in the future.

Listening to Secretary Wan's compliments, Dai Qing curled her lips. How could a scheming man like Dong Zhen praise her so much?

She knew that the man was suspicious by nature from the first time they met.

If it weren't for the chance encounter last night, she might have believed that Dong Zhen wanted to win her over and establish a good, mutually beneficial relationship.

But now, his thoughts are definitely not pure.

Secretary Wan held the teacup and carefully observed Dai Qing's expression. Seeing that her face was calm, he felt relieved.

"The banquet that Master Qiao Qian prepared yesterday was truly amazing. My boss would like to ask if it is possible to ask Master Qiao Qian for guidance in the future?"

The family connections here are already beyond reach.

If you are not in the same circle, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.

I wonder if her boss is qualified enough to catch the master's eye?

Hearing Secretary Wan's careful tone, Dai Qing took a sip of tea and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Of course there is no problem. Everyone who comes to our house is a guest, so there is no reason to push them away."

Hearing this, Secretary Wan felt relieved. "I was worrying too much. If the boss needs advice later, please invite Master Dai to meet him."

As long as there is a chance to meet in the future, everything will be easy to discuss. As for how to plan, it depends on the ability of his boss.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Secretary Wan did not stay long and just stood up to say goodbye.

Dai Qing sent the person to the door, and before she closed it, she saw Tang Zikai walking towards her with a package in one hand.

When Dai Qing saw the bag in his hand, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

What did this guy bring her?

When Secretary Wan saw Tang Zikai, he quickly stepped aside, bowed slightly, and greeted him respectfully.

"Mr. Tang"

Seeing Secretary Wan, Tang Zikai frowned slightly and nodded as a response. Then he picked up the small bag on his left hand and gestured to Dai Qing.

"I brought you the cake you liked."

Hearing Tang Zikai's tone, Dai Qing didn't know what to say.

They had only eaten pastries once near the park. The pastries were indeed exquisite, beautiful and delicious, but the prices were too high. With her current financial situation, she really didn't think about going there a second time.

But she felt it was weird that this person came all the way to send her cakes.

"Thank you. Thank you for your hard work."

Dai Qing took the box of cakes and they went back to the yard together.
