After the two of them agreed on these things, Xu Xiangyang inspected the house.
She cleaned it very well, even the nooks and crannies were cleaned up. She really is a housewife!
Talkative yet capable, isn't that what a mother hen is?
"Alright, that's enough. Let's go home." Xu Xiangyang thought it was about time and stopped him from tidying up any further.
Qian Wenqing stood up to wash his hands, then turned and asked, "Brother Xu, is no one staying here?"
"You're not staying here? What's wrong?" Xu Xiangyang asked, looking at him.
Qian Wenqing smiled and said with pursed lips, "Um...can I stay here? It would be convenient for you to look after the house, wouldn't it? It's not good for the house to be empty all the time."
His smile seemed forced, but you could tell he was really looking forward to it.
Xu Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Is it alright if you don't stay at home? It doesn't matter to me here, it's just sitting empty anyway."
However, he began to feel curious.
Thinking about it, I realized that I had never been to Qian Wenqing's house, nor did I know anything about this child.
In Xu Xiangyang's eyes, this nineteen-year-old boy was just a child.
When Qian Wenqing heard that he could move in, he immediately smiled and said, "Great! I'll move in tomorrow! Come on, let's go to your place for dinner!"
As he spoke, he quickly walked out.
Xu Xiangyang was completely bewildered. What was going on? Was this person giving a completely irrelevant answer?
Looking at the people walking hurriedly ahead, he couldn't help but wonder if Qian Wenqing had a bad relationship with his family.
Otherwise, it shouldn't be like this. I always thought this child was innocent and guileless, but now it seems that's not the case at all.
However, Xu Xiangyang did not press the matter further. Who can't have secrets? Why tell everyone everything?
So he didn't ask any more questions.
When the two returned home, Xu Xiangyang told them about Qian Wenqing's situation.
Of course, I don't mean I'll have him do my chores, but rather that he'll come over for meals more often in the future.
“Okay, I’ll come back for more small payments in the future.” Wang Xiumin nodded happily in agreement.
Qian Wenqing always helped with the work when he came over. Xu Xiangyang didn't have time, so Wang Zhongshan and Xu Guangtian took care of the household chores.
But when it comes to things like going uphill, Wang Zhongshan's legs aren't strong enough, so sometimes two people have to work together because there's a shortage of manpower.
However, when Qian Wenqing came, he always helped with the work and was particularly diligent.
Although everyone knew that this kid was just there to freeload a meal, no one said anything.
After all, Xu Xiangyang brought them back, so they wouldn't have any objections.
Hearing her words, Qian Wenqing smiled and nodded, "Auntie, I'll come over often to help you with chores from now on. I'll do any work for you. I don't have many other skills, but I'm good at housework!"
Now that he's hanging out with Xu Xiangyang, he's learned to say nice things and won't annoy people with his words anymore.
No one in the family objected; they didn't mind having multiple people eating together.
After all, Xu Xiangyang bought all the food and drinks for the family, so he must have his own reasons for bringing people back.
After finishing his meal, Qian Wenqing left happily and went home.
As Xu Xiangyang watched him leave, he couldn't help but feel curious. This kid usually seemed carefree, so why did he seem a bit off this time?
He believed he had a good eye for people, and that Qian Wenqing was definitely a decent person; he just might not know much about the man's personality.
For the next two days, Xu Xiangyang kept observing Gu Shizhang, hoping to figure something out.
However, he couldn't find a good opportunity at all. After all, he also had to work, and the other person wasn't even in the same office building as him, so it was really difficult.
That evening, Xu Xiangyang took advantage of the holiday at work and sneaked over here.
Because there was no surveillance, he acted without fear.
Just be careful to see if anyone nearby will spot him; there's nothing else to worry about.
There are security guards on duty at this time, so there's no need to even think about entering through the main gate; two people are taking turns guarding it.
The surrounding walls were also made of wire mesh, making climbing the walls extremely difficult.
But this was no challenge for him at all. He'd climbed over walls before; even Old Wang next door wasn't as good as him!
Xu Xiangyang noticed that this area was quite close to the street, and there were usually patrols with flashlights, so he had to avoid them.
He turned to look inside, then continued walking forward.
There was no other way but to go in through the backyard, but that area was full of sewage and quite dirty.
Fortunately, it's winter now and spring hasn't arrived yet, so the smell is tolerable; you can't smell it at all by wearing a mask.
Xu Xiangyang also disguised himself. He was just in case something happened, even if it meant something was wrong. What if someone caught him?
As long as no one discovers your true face, that's fine.
Thinking back, he remembered there was an open space here, so going into that open space wouldn't get him into dirty water or anything like that.
After confirming that no one was around, he took out a ladder from his spatial storage and carefully climbed up.
By the moonlight, he saw that it was indeed an open space below, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, taking advantage of the space, he placed a ladder on the opposite side, and after stepping over it, he put the ladder away.
As soon as Xu Xiangyang's feet touched the ground, he noticed a flashlight beam shining in his direction.
Without thinking twice, he quickly entered the space.
Holy crap, that gave me a fright!
He looked through the space and saw that the people in the courtyard were patrolling.
However, the person didn't seem to notice Xu Xiangyang. He wandered around for a bit and then left to continue his patrol on the other side.
Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been discovered, he probably wouldn't have been able to get in again, and the patrols would have been much stricter.
He didn't go out immediately, but observed for a while and then waited.
About ten minutes later, he finally came out of the space.
After looking around and seeing that there was no one there, he quickly went inside.
Upon arriving at the office building, Xu Xiangyang saw that the patrol team had just left, so he quickly slipped inside.
Because the main door was locked, he pried open a window at the back and jumped in.
Then he picked the locks and arrived at Gu Shizhang's office, which was his destination.
With practiced ease, Xu Xiangyang unlocked the door and first took a look at the furnishings inside.
Like most leading cadres, they were clean and tidy.
He glanced at the office, then at the cabinet.
After thinking for a moment, he installed the listening device at the very bottom of the table.
This table is very heavy, so under normal circumstances, no one would lift it upside down to look at it.
Placing it at the bottom is the safest option, and you can still hear it clearly.
After installing the bugging device, Xu Xiangyang returned in the dark, locking every lock to ensure there was no loophole.
When he climbed out the window to install it, he suddenly noticed that someone else was coming.
He quickly closed the newly installed window and then slipped into the space.
But why are they checking so frequently today? Did they know I was coming?
Before he could think any further, he saw a figure slip by.
