Chapter 795: People Who Didn’t Complete Nine Years of Compulsory Education
There is no way. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It has only been a few months and I have started to be particular about food, clothing and daily necessities.
I don’t know what was wrong with me before, but I was willing to live a hard life with that scumbag Liang Zicheng.
"Oh, it's not about the funding," Captain Wen explained, "it's just that in any good residential complex, the property management is stricter, and entering will easily attract attention.
The residents are also more wary of their neighbors, and our people often stay with the curtains drawn, which can easily arouse suspicion."
He paused, smiled helplessly, and said, "We once rented a single-family villa, but within a month, the residents called the police, suspecting we were engaging in illegal activities in the villa.
The curtains are drawn all day long, and you can see light shining through them all night long. There are clearly several people inside, but usually only one person comes in and out."
I laughed dryly, "Haha, that does sound suspicious."
If I were in his place, I would also find the characteristics that Captain Wen mentioned abnormal.
"So, this kind of old residential area is still good. There are many outside tenants, and no one knows each other, so no one cares about other people's business."
"Captain Wen, when do I start working?" I am now prepared to be a slave.
"No rush, not that fast. Once your work is shortlisted and Xiao Fang receives the interview notice, it will be your turn. Before that, you just need to participate when we test the equipment."
I breathed a sigh of relief. It should still be early. The trip to New Zealand that we won last time has not yet taken place. We were planning to go after our thesis was passed.
"That's good. I'm going on a trip with my classmates in a few days. It will take about ten days. I think everything will be fine after we come back.
Of course, I will prepare my entry before I go out.”
"Okay! That's settled then. I look forward to working with you!" Captain Wen extended his hand and shook mine again, then asked Xiaoyan to take me home.
When I got home, Xiao Shiqiu was processing documents in the study.
Seeing me come back, he stopped what he was doing, smiled and waved at me: "How's it going? Planning to try your hand at criminal investigation?"
"Do you know what I'm going to do? Captain Wen said he didn't tell you."
I walked to his side and he pulled me into his arms. I found a comfortable position and nestled in his arms.
"That old fox Wen Congwu didn't say anything, but he was hinting at something in his words. I couldn't pretend not to understand."
"Are you two familiar with each other?" I was a little surprised. This guy knows a lot of people.
"I wouldn't say we're that familiar. I spent my nine years of compulsory education with him." Xiao Shiqiu said it casually, but I always felt that it sounded a bit incongruous. Did someone like him also complete nine years of compulsory education like everyone else?
I couldn't help but blurt out, "You also completed compulsory education?"
He tapped me on the forehead with a hint of amusement. "What are you thinking? Do I look like someone who didn't even finish compulsory education?"
"No, I mean, shouldn't someone like you go to an expensive private school from a young age?"
Which domineering CEO in a TV drama goes to a public elementary school? It doesn’t fit his character. Don’t they all start receiving aristocratic education from kindergarten?
"It's true that I went to one of the best schools in City A, but it's also a public school. However, it's not very appropriate to say that I completed nine years of compulsory education. It only took me seven years to finish it and I entered high school early." He raised his eyebrows at me.
Although he was stating a fact, I still felt that he was showing off. I couldn't stand this kind of Versailles talk from a top student. A little flame of jealousy began to burn, and I couldn't stand it even if this person was my husband.
I rolled my eyes at him and said sourly, "For someone who hasn't even completed nine years of compulsory education, what's there to be proud of?"
This kind of person lacks education about frustration and needs to be hit from time to time.
Xiao Shiqiu was startled for a moment, then he reacted with a hearty laugh, hugged me tightly, and began to change the subject: "Come on, tell me how it felt to be there today. If you think you need anything, just let me know, and Lao Wen will definitely arrange it for you."
Speaking of this, I became excited and poured out everything I had seen and heard today.
But I was still a little confused. "Shouldn't they keep this confidential? Why would they let you know?"
"This is a bit complicated to explain. It has a lot to do with the trust between the previous generation. The Xiao family has sponsored their case funding more than once or twice.
Especially when encountering cases involving overseas forces, the police need to use some of our overseas connections, so it is inevitable that I will know some confidential matters. "
"So Captain Wen knows about our relationship, right?" I think Xiaoyan should have told him.
Xiao Shiqiu laughed, "He attended our engagement party. Do you think he knew about it?"
I suddenly realized, "So he was so generous and told me to just ask if I needed anything, because..."
He rubbed my head and said, "Finally, I was smart for once. After confirming your joining, I added another three million to Lao Wen's budget."
I used to think he was a spendthrift, but now I think I’m a spendthrift too.
Captain Wen treats me as a money-making beast, no wonder he is so nice to me. Among the several reasons for choosing me, he only didn't mention this point. He is really an old fox.
"Captain Wen only told me about you providing the equipment. He didn't mention a single word about you giving him money."
I became a little indignant. "Besides, you gave me three million, but he only paid me three thousand. How stingy!"
Xiao Shiqiu laughed heartily, "Three thousand is a standard in their team. He knows you're not short of money, but this guy is used to being stingy.
Their case funding is always low, so they can't always ask me for sponsorship. So it's normal for him to save some for next time. Let him take advantage of it a little, and let's not argue with him about this little thing."
Seeing my expression change, he comforted me, "Don't think that just because I spent money, you have to join. It's not too late to regret. This will not affect my determination to bring down the Lu family."
"Do you have any grudge against the Lu family? Why are you so determined to bring them down at all costs? It can't be just a simple sense of justice, right?"
Xiao Shiqiu's eyes suddenly became sharp. "Mengmeng, the several times you were in danger before were all related to the Lu family." His face was a little solemn. "And your father also had contact with the Lu family. I suspect..."
My heart skipped a beat and I grabbed his hand. "Do you suspect my dad is involved? But Captain Wen said he couldn't find out the purpose of my dad's contact with the Lu family, and their interactions were rare."
He patted my hand and said, "Don't worry, I didn't say your father was involved. I just suspected that your father might be looking for a kidney on the black market for your half-brother. Of course, there is no evidence at the moment.
And the person your father is looking for is not a member of the Lu family on the surface. My people just found out that he has close contacts with the Lu family."
