"No, only seven months!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile, stroking her big belly.
"Then, this?" Cao Gangtie was a little embarrassed. How should he arrange things for this pregnant woman?
Take it to Suzhou? There are too many people and too many eyes there, we don't want to cause any trouble!
Stay in Haishi? He knew about the couple's situation; without relatives to take care of them, who would be responsible if anything happened?
Leave her to the escort team? The escort team doesn't even have enough people for rescue operations, who has time to take care of a pregnant woman!
Bi Qiaoan knew that her situation was putting Cao Gangtie in a difficult position, so she took a deep breath and said, "I want to go to Suzhou with everyone! Although I can't participate in the rescue operation, I can cook water or heat up meals for everyone from the rear!"
Cao Gangtie disagreed, "What nonsense are you talking about? There are so many guards already, do you really need a pregnant woman like you to cook water and heat food for them?"
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said, "How about we don't include my wife in the rescue team? Let's treat her as an unofficial member, as if she's just staying there for a while. As for food and lodging, the escort team doesn't need to take care of that. We brought a tent in the car, and enough food for at least two people for a month."
Cao Gangtie thought about it for a moment, but still felt it wasn't appropriate. "This isn't a good idea. What if your wife gets hurt?"
"Of course I have these concerns too, but if my wife stays here, there's no one to take care of her. If you leave her alone at home, what if there's a big aftershock? Will she be able to go downstairs if she's heavily pregnant? If you let her live in the wild, who will take care of her three meals a day? And what about her safety?"
If I take her to Suzhou, at least I can cook her meals for breakfast and dinner, and I won't have to worry about her hiding in the tent during the day. At night, I can go back to keep her company.
And to put it bluntly, that area is already a complete ruin, so there's no fear of further aftershocks. Compared to Suzhou, it might actually be safer.
Cao Gangtie couldn't refute Shen Yanming's words. After hesitating for a moment, he agreed.
"There's just one thing, what about my wife's assessment?"
Cao Gangtie laughed, "Special circumstances require special handling. Since your wife can't participate in the rescue operation, her assessment will fall to you. Whether she passes or not depends on your performance!"
Shen Yanming nodded, "Don't worry about that. For my wife's sake, I'll have to work even harder!"
Bi Qiaoan opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Please don't do anything beyond your capabilities for my sake," but Cao Gangtie was right next to her, so she could only swallow her words back.
Cao Gangtie noticed Bi Qiaoan's expression and said to her with a smile, "Your husband is devoted to you, you should cherish your good fortune!"
Bi Qiaoan knew, of course. Ever since her rebirth, she had been living under Shen Yanming's protection. She nodded, her eyes red, and said, "I know, he's a good person, I'm very lucky!"
Once the matter was settled, Cao Gangtie said to the two of them, "There are advantages to arriving early. Let's go, I'll show you around and help you choose your dorm rooms!"
The two men's eyes lit up. "The guard team even provides dormitories?"
"What else can we do? So many people are sitting in the open?"
"No, I just didn't expect the guard team to provide dormitories for us new recruits!" Bi Qiaoan said playfully, sticking out her tongue.
“Even contract workers have dormitories, how could you newly hired guards not have them!”
This is the last line of defense for Haishi. Joining the guard team will change your work significantly, and you may very well have to live here permanently in the future.
Of course, it's too early to say all this now. Whether you stay or not depends on your performance during the internship. Like I said, if you perform well, both of you will stay; if you don't perform well, I might not want either of you!
Bi Qiaoan was surprised that Cao Gangtie would say he didn't want either of them. She asked anxiously, "You can't put all the blame for my situation on my husband! I am me, and he is him. Even if I can't stay, as long as my husband performs well, you can't turn him away!"
Cao Gangtie didn't argue. He rolled his eyes and said, "If you don't stay, do you think your husband will stay willingly?"
Shen Yanming squeezed Bi Qiaoan's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll try my best to keep both of us here!"
“Yes, I will help you!” Bi Qiaoan said firmly.
Unexpectedly, Cao Gangtie chuckled, "Help him? How can you help him? Don't forget you need someone to take care of you! You're lucky if you don't cause him trouble!"
Bi Qiaoan really wanted to shout, "Mind your own business!" But she didn't dare.
She was timid when faced with the man who held their "fate" in his hands!
She glared at Cao Gangtie, puffing out her cheeks in frustration. Shen Yanming chuckled and pinched her puffed-up cheeks, saying, "My Qiao An won't cause any trouble. Who knows, she might actually bring you a pleasant surprise!"
"Alright then, I'd like to see what earth-shattering things Bi Qiaoan can do."
As they spoke, the three of them walked to the dormitory area.
Because of Cao Gangtie's favoritism, he took the couple directly to the suite.
"The rooms here aren't very big, unlike those in your city. A suite is only about 60 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. In the Hai City Guard Team, it's considered the second best accommodation."
"We just arrived, we probably don't deserve such a nice house, right?"
Cao Gangtie smiled and praised, "Not bad, that's quite rational! Most people would have been overjoyed!"
Then he shook his head and said, "You two are just lucky to have contribution points. Who would have thought that you two, husband and wife, would each have 200 contribution points?"
In Hai City, this number is among the highest. Based on your contributions to the Qinghua Kingdom, the Hai City Guard is willing to grant you this benefit!
Hearing this, Shen Yanming felt more confident. It seemed that, considering the contribution points, as long as his performance wasn't too bad, he should be able to become a full-fledged employee. The reason Cao Gangtie was so strict with himself was probably because he didn't want Bi Qiaoan to be accused of getting in through connections.
After all, not everyone knows about the contribution points. And some things need to be kept secret.
For example, the reason they received contribution points for the second time.
As soon as the three of them went downstairs, a uniformed guard saluted Cao Gangtie, "Captain Cao, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"
"This young couple are new security guards. Could you check what rooms are available and let them go up and choose one?"
"This..." The guard hesitated, but still said, "Captain Cao, this is not in accordance with the rules. This is where the leaders stay!"
“There’s nothing wrong with it. Their contribution points are as high as 200, which meets the criteria for special talent,” Cao Gangtie explained.
"In that case, please follow me!"
