Shen Yanming opened the door and found Chen Shunwei with three young men. Chen Shunwei said, "Mr. Shen, these are the staff who came to conduct an investigation."
Shen Yanming smiled and welcomed them in, and Bi Qiaoan quickly poured tea for the four of them.
Shen Yanming checked his phone; it was already nine o'clock at night. He then asked, "Why are you still making house calls so late?"
"There's no other way. Most of the residents here aren't home during the day, so we can only visit them around noon and in the evening."
“Yes, ten of us were assigned to Qingyu Community. At first, we thought it was just one community and we could finish registering quickly. But when we got there, we realized that this community is equivalent to two or three other communities.”
Shen Yanming listened to everyone's complaints and nodded, "There are indeed many residents in Qingyu Community. You've all worked hard!"
Shen Yanming offered everyone sunflower seeds and peanuts, while Bi Qiaoan got up and showed the staff all the various documents in her home.
"So we're in the same line of work! No wonder you're so well-prepared," the young man registering the household said with a smile. "This is the smoothest registration we've ever had."
“My wife and I have been registering our household registrations outside recently. Having all the necessary documents definitely saves a lot of time.”
Shen Yanming put away the documents returned by the staff and asked, "How many households do you still have to visit? If you're ready to leave, stay here, have some tea and fruit, and rest before you go."
"No, it's getting late. We'll just go next door to register and then head home." The young man smiled and politely declined, then packed his things and prepared to leave.
Shen Yanming handed everyone an apple, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, don't be shy!"
The group accepted the gifts readily, thanked them, and left.
“Those three are so pitiful!” Bi Qiaoan said to Shen Yanming with a smile.
"Yes, there are too many people in Qingyu Community, they have to work overtime. Although Xingfu Street Community also has a lot of people, it's not even a quarter of the size of Qingyu Community."
Bi Qiaoan nodded. "Let's hurry up and do our door-to-door visits. How about we go out for a Western meal to celebrate when we finish?"
"Okay, hopefully the water won't be cut off that day!"
Shen Yanming didn't mention work to Bi Qiaoan anymore. The two of them held their phones together, scrolling through Weibo and watching videos. The night was long, but it couldn't diminish their affection for each other.
Over the next few days, the two of them finished up at Xingfu Street Community. After they finished their work, there were still forty or fifty households left in Weiqin's group.
After discussing it, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan decided to help Wei Qin and the others.
With Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan joining the effort, the remaining forty or fifty households were settled in just two days.
So, Shen Yanming took Bi Qiaoan to the famous Shijin Western Restaurant in Shanghai.
The two chose a window seat, ordered a few signature dishes, and started chatting.
After all the dishes were served, Bi Qiaoan thanked the waiter and then noticed that Song Wenwen and a handsome guy were sitting at the table in the corner.
"Honey, look over there, isn't that Song Wenuan and her boyfriend?"
"I don't think so. They seem very distant. Do you want to go say hello?"
Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment, "I think it's better not to. I'm afraid Wen Nuan will feel awkward. I can ask her on WeChat another day."
The two were eating with their heads down, so they didn't notice that a few minutes later, an older man sat down between Song Wenwen and the handsome man.
After finishing their Western meal, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan drove home.
On the way, Shen Yanming received a call from Li Zhaozhao. Because he was driving, Shen Yanming put the call on speakerphone.
"Yanming, do you know what? That little girl we met at Qingli Mountain was incredibly wicked. I just got the news..."
Before Li Zhaozhao could finish speaking, Shen Yanming said "Something came up" and hung up the phone.
Bi Qiaoan looked at Shen Yanming suspiciously, "You already knew about that girl?"
Shen Yanming nodded.
Bi Qiaoan then asked, "Then why didn't you tell me? Also, just now, Li Zhaozhao..."
"I don't want to offend your ears."
"But I want to know! If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Shen Yanming pursed his lips, looking at Bi Qiaoan with a conflicted expression. "You really want to know? You'll have nightmares!"
“Yes, I’d like to know,” Bi Qiaoan said confidently.
If she hadn't known from the beginning, it wouldn't have been so bad, but now, with the answer right in front of her, it was being blocked. Bi Qiaoan's curiosity was screaming wildly.
Shen Yanming didn't continue speaking in the car. It wasn't until they got home that he spoke, "Actually, someone sent me the investigation materials a few days ago, but that girl is too shady, and I didn't want you to know."
Bi Qiaoan frowned. "Darkness?"
"Yes, you would never guess that the child has a life on his hands!"
Shen Yanming paused for a moment before saying, "That woman is the mistress of a small business owner in Qiu City. I heard that the small business owner was tricked when he went back to his hometown, so he slept with that woman."
The young boss was furious, but since he had slept with her, he thought he would give her some money as compensation and never contact her again. Who would have thought that he would give her too much money and make the woman have her eyes on him?
The woman was quite lucky; two months later, she discovered she was pregnant. She and the young boss were from the same county, and with a little inquiry, she found out where the young boss's hometown was.
The young business owner's parents were used to living in the countryside and had never moved to the city. After finding out the address, the woman moved her luggage directly into the young business owner's parents' house.
After receiving a call from his parents, the young boss went back to his hometown to deal with the situation, but the woman refused to leave. If he tried to force her, she would stick out her pregnant belly and accuse him of murder.
The small business owner had no choice but to ignore the woman and return to the city. When his wife found out, she divorced him.
The woman was overjoyed to learn that the young boss was divorced, waiting for him to marry her. However, the young boss found her extremely annoying and, apart from giving her money, refused to even return to his hometown.
The woman gave birth to a daughter and lived a very comfortable life thanks to the high child support payments from the small business owner. However, everyone in the village knew about the woman's situation. They didn't say anything to her face, but they looked down on her behind her back.
Women don't care about other people's opinions, but little girls often hear gossip as they grow up, and their personalities gradually deteriorate.
One day, the little girl went out to play with two boys from the village. They left as a group of three, but returned as only two.
Bi Qiaoan was shocked upon hearing this, "No, it's that little girl..."
Shen Yanming nodded. "At first, the villagers didn't pay any attention, but it was already evening and the little boy still hadn't come home, so his family went to look for the little girl, but she shook her head and said she didn't know anything."
