Xu Xiangyang felt that, as long as he could protect himself, all means were reasonable and there was nothing despicable about them.
If he can't even guarantee his own safety and is likely to lose his life, what's the point of him fighting back?
Why not just do things properly and achieve your goal?
Using force is so brainless; he prefers to outsmart people!
After leaving the space, he went straight home.
Going there again would be a waste of time; I should just go to bed early.
Two days later, before Xu Xiangyang had even gone to the outskirts, Cao Yajun came to find him.
Holy crap?
Xu Xiangyang was genuinely stunned when he saw Cao Yajun come over and knock on the door.
"Comrade Xu, it's been a long time." Cao Yajun smiled at him.
Xu Xiangyang then came to his senses and nodded, "It has indeed been a long time. What made Secretary Cao think of calling me?"
The two of them had already fallen out, but he never expected that Cao Yajun would come looking for him. It was truly terrifying.
Yes, it's horror.
Seeing his surprise, Cao Yajun didn't say much, but instead asked, "Won't you let me in and sit down?"
Xu Xiangyang stepped aside to let him into the courtyard.
He had only just woken up and hadn't finished eating yet, but he had eaten in the space, so the table in the room was very clean.
"Isn't this too shabby?" Cao Yajun looked at the house, which could be described as bare walls, and thought it was really too shabby.
Besides tables, chairs, and benches, there was a bed, but nothing else.
Xu Xiangyang rolled his eyes. Simple? Are you going to sponsor me?
But he was just thinking about it.
"Why would you need so much stuff for a place to sleep?" He sat down next to Cao Yajun.
That being said, he actually has quite a lot of stuff in his space.
He furnished the dorm room like a hotel with a Simmons bed and various leather sofas.
Cao Yajun glanced at him and thought this guy was really strange. How could a person with money not spend it?
Xu Xiangyang was different; aside from clothes, food, and drink, he had never seen any other good things.
Even the bicycles I ride when I go out are so old and worn out.
He didn't believe this person didn't have the money to buy a new car; he was sure the person had the money.
"Comrade Xu, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you go to the garment factory again."
He seemed to be making conversation out of nothing.
Xu Xiangyang laughed and said, "What can I be busy with? Just busy doing nothing. Isn't it better to wait until next spring to go? Director Ma also said that the garment factory will take another two months to finish."
In fact, the garment factory had already sped up the process. Logically, the garments should have been ready to enter the factory in the fall of next year, but they were completed in just one year.
Xu Xiangyang's drawings were also very good and suitable, which sped up the process.
Most importantly, Liao Shichang has spoken, and the equipment needs to be delivered next spring.
It's not good to keep the equipment somewhere else. The garment factory's equipment has come in, but it's expensive, and we don't feel comfortable leaving it there.
Cao Yajun nodded, then looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Then I wish you all the best. There's nothing much to do here today, so come visit me sometime."
With that, he got up and left, closing the doors behind him.
Xu Xiangyang looked in the direction he left, feeling somewhat uncertain.
What does this person mean?
Are they trying to steal the equipment?
That's impossible. This thing is unlike others; it's not something an ordinary person could move, let alone someone who's with people protecting the goods.
He pursed his lips, momentarily unable to figure out what Cao Yajun meant.
However, Xu Xiangyang understood one thing: anything abnormal was a sign of trouble!
He put on his clothes and went straight to the garment factory to check on the progress.
As soon as they arrived, Director Ma came out, and the two bumped into each other.
"Director Ma, are you going out?" He glanced at the time; it wasn't time to leave work yet.
Director Ma smiled and said, "Well, I had some business to attend to outside. Did you come here for something?"
"No, I just came to check on things." Seeing that he seemed a bit anxious, Xu Xiangyang said, "Director Ma, if you have something to do, go ahead and do it. I'm fine."
I just came to take a look, so it doesn't matter whether Director Ma is here or not.
Upon hearing this, the person didn't stand on ceremony and left immediately.
Once inside, Xu Xiangyang asked someone to show him around, but what he saw next revealed something amiss.
The framework is complete, but why is there a backdoor in the repository?
Xu Xiangyang frowned and turned to ask, "There are no design drawings for this back door. What's going on?"
He drew the blueprints himself, so he still remembered the details. He was certain that none of the rooms or factory buildings had hidden doors.
The person next to him also looked puzzled. "I don't know, I haven't seen the blueprints. But there's a wall behind it, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Xu Xiangyang was a little angry. No problem? There was a huge problem!
If this was left behind intentionally, then there must have been a purpose behind it.
If anything is lost because of this door, shouldn't the person who drew the design be held responsible?
He was puzzled as to who had left the door there.
"Was this door left behind by Director Ma?" he asked, turning his head.
The man shook his head. "I don't know either."
He genuinely didn't know, since those who had access to blueprints and designs were usually low-level officials.
Someone like him is just a handyman.
Xu Xiangyang didn't ask any more questions, but looked elsewhere. Besides the warehouse, there was one door, and there were also two workshops.
What is this for?
Is it a fire escape?
He didn't think so. Fire protection isn't that comprehensive now, and Xu Xiangyang had taken that into account when he designed it, so the main door has two doors with a partition in the middle.
Xu Xiangyang felt that something was wrong with everything – Cao Yajun, and the garment factory.
Could it be that he's planning to target the garment factory?
This isn't impossible; after all, this person is desperate, and there's probably another reason as well.
That means forcing yourself to take action.
Xu Xiangyang has figured it out a bit now; that place in the suburbs might really be a trap.
I'm waiting to fall into the trap myself.
But all of this was just his conjecture; he had no idea what the actual situation was.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the two doors, then turned and left.
Anyway, the machine hasn't arrived yet. Once it arrives, he can just block up those three doors, and nothing will happen.
From now on, he'll be in charge of the garment factory and can do whatever he wants!
With this idea in mind, he stopped worrying about the three doors, glanced at them briefly and, finding no other problems, left.
Not far from where he left through the gate, Zhou Tianyi watched him go, then quietly followed.
Xu Xiangyang was riding his bicycle and didn't realize anyone was following him; even if they did, he wouldn't be afraid.
He's going home. If you go home with him, how can you get in the door?
He parked his bicycle and wanted to enter the space, but instead of moving, he looked into the house.
It feels like the door has been opened.
