Then Gu Tong smiled and said, "The people in this building are the lowest class of people. Anyone with a little money wouldn't live here. So I think you probably didn't give any gifts. After all, I can't see any sign of hunger on you. By the way, why did you come here?"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person and then said, "Looking for someone! By the way, you said I didn't give any gifts? How did you know?"
Gu Tong smiled and said, "No one here gives gifts. If you do, you'll generally be placed in a better place. This place was originally intended for construction workers, but the construction company disagreed, so it's been abandoned. Now it's used to house people who don't give gifts!"
"By the way, you said you were looking for someone? Looking for someone here? Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to take someone out of here?"
Lu Yuan was speechless at the woman's curiosity. They weren't even that close. Was it really okay for her to pry into his privacy like this?
Lu Yuan immediately shook his head and said, "No! Don't worry, I won't disturb your rest! Is there anything else?"
Gu Tong smiled and said, "We're neighbors, after all. I just came to say hello. By the way, what's your name?"
"Lu Yuan! The road to the mainland is as far as the horizon!"
"Lu Yuan... Hmm, I'll remember you! Alright! If you need anything, just come find me!"
After saying that, the other person turned and left.
Lu Yuan checked the time; it was 10 a.m., still a long way from the next day. Lu Yuan sighed inwardly, wishing he hadn't come so early. Now he had to wait until the next morning to deliver his chickens. This day was going to be tough!
After tidying up the room, Lu Yuan didn't plan to sleep there. The bedding was old and even wet to the touch. It seemed Gu Tong was right; he hadn't given the man a gift, and he had clearly brought him here on purpose.
However, Lu Yuan didn't want to reveal too much. If he really gave a gift, he would definitely receive more preferential treatment, but Lu Yuan thought it was unnecessary to do so.
Lu Yuan threw the bedding off the bed and lay down on the hard bed board, staring into deep thought at the dirty ceiling.
Lu Yuan didn't know what was going through his mind at that moment; it was all jumbled up. One moment he was thinking about what to do when he saw Sister Xia, then he wondered who Gu Tong next door was, what she did for a living, and sometimes he would think about Xiao Shan and whether his family was worried about him...
Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly heard another knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Gu Tong again.
Gu Tong had changed into a gray-black coat, and his jeans were covered in holes, clearly not from fashion. He was wearing rain boots, but he was still very tall.
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Tong in surprise and asked, "Uh... what's wrong now? I don't see any movement here!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan turned to look at the two chickens that were dozing off. These two chickens were quite well-behaved and did not squawk loudly when they arrived at their new home, which made Lu Yuan relax. Otherwise, if they had squawked so loudly, they might have attracted the covetous eyes of others. If they had been taken away by someone else, all his hard work would have been wasted, and he might even have been kicked out as a swindler.
Gu Tong rolled her eyes, pointed to her watch, and said, "Don't you ever eat? It's lunchtime! Let's go get some food!"
Lu Yuan immediately understood. Although he wasn't very hungry, he still wanted to see what the food in the large canteen was like.
So Lu Yuan quickly hugged his chicken, ready to leave with the other person, but Gu Tong smiled and said, "Are you trying to show off your chicken to others? Don't you know the saying 'Don't flaunt your wealth'?"
"But is it safe to leave it here? What if it gets stolen?" Lu Yuan asked with some concern.
Gu Tong thought for a moment and said, "Put it in my room! No one will go there!"
Lu Yuan was taken aback by what the other person said, but seeing that the other person didn't seem very interested in his chickens, he immediately nodded. He didn't want to keep holding two chickens like that; it would look really silly.
So Lu Yuan handed the two chickens to the other person, and Gu Tong carried the two chickens back to her room, then locked the door and led Lu Yuan downstairs.
On the way, Gu Tong casually asked, "Are these two chickens your bargaining chips to enter the survivor base?"
Lu Yuan didn't hide anything from the other party and immediately nodded, saying, "Yes! It's these two chickens!"
The other person nodded immediately, as if they wanted to ask something else, but didn't say anything.
Lu Yuan was also intrigued by this enthusiastic woman, so he casually asked, "By the way, what do you do for a living? I mean, what do you do here?"
As Gu Tong walked, he said, "I am in charge of personnel statistics. I used to work for the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, so I am quite familiar with the business and was fortunate enough to get in."
Lu Yuan responded with an "oh," and an idea immediately popped into his mind.
"So you're quite familiar with the people here?" Lu Yuan asked casually. Actually, he wanted to probe the other party's intentions. If the other party really was from the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, then she must have a lot of work related to the population census. If she wanted to find some valuable technical talents, then she would have a chance through her.
