Chapter 52 is such a pity.



When Xu Xiangyang got up, it was already past two in the afternoon.

I ate a bite at the cafeteria first, then went out to check on my spoils from last night.

There were ten refrigerators in total, and twenty nine-inch black and white televisions.

Xu Xiangyang opened each box and looked at them one by one. They were all brand new and from Hong Kong, probably smuggled in.

I never expected these people to be so capable. I wonder if the police station managed to catch them all.

He touched the light green refrigerator, which had a freezer compartment on top and a crisper compartment on the bottom; this kind of refrigerator was rarely seen anymore.

But in this day and age, no matter what color it is, having a refrigerator at home is considered very impressive.

Xu Xiangyang felt no burden at all. These things were smuggled or robbed by that group of people, and he felt perfectly justified in taking them.

Never mind all that, I have to go to work tomorrow. I found two sets of clothes and went back to get ready.

I slept too much during the day and didn't fall asleep until after midnight.

The next morning, as soon as Xu Xiangyang arrived at work, he saw Qian Wenqing running towards him with a happy expression.

"Brother Xu, you've arrived. I looked for you yesterday but couldn't find you; you weren't home."

Xu Xiangyang didn't expect him to come looking for him, so he lied and said, "Oh, I went back to my hometown yesterday. They'll miss me if I don't go back for a long time."

That's the only way to put it; otherwise, he couldn't have said he was going out to play, right? Who knows when Qian Wenqing came to find him.

Sure enough, Qian Wenqing nodded knowingly. "I knew it. I went to look for you this afternoon, but you weren't home. By the way, did you know that the people we ran into the other day were all arrested, and their hideout was raided?"

His face lit up with joy; he was clearly very happy. After all, he had been so embarrassed and humiliated before.

Xu Xiangyang feigned surprise and asked, "Really? When did this happen?"

"It happened this morning. It was a call from Shancheng. The bureau chief notified us," Qian Wenqing continued in a light tone. "From now on, we won't have to worry about long-distance driving anymore."

That's a lot...

Xu Xiangyang was puzzled. Why hadn't he ever seemed worried before?

Actually, these kinds of things don't happen easily, unless you're extremely unlucky, almost like winning the lottery.

If people run ten times a year, or once a month, then there are so many cars on this road, how come you would run into them alone?

"Sigh!" Qian Wenqing sighed again, "It's just that their leader escaped and we didn't catch him, otherwise we would have been completely relieved of this trouble."

The ringleader wasn't caught?

Xu Xiangyang frowned. This was not a good matter.

However, he wasn't too worried. After all, he had disguised himself that day, and he had also worn a mask when he went to the police station, so no one would have seen him.

"That's a real pity, but with the stronghold taken down, there shouldn't be any problems." Xu Xiangyang returned to his seat, feeling much more relaxed.

He was worried he wouldn't be able to catch them, but it turns out he was worrying for nothing.

Qian Wenqing nodded, feeling relieved and in a particularly good mood.

"Brother Xu, I'll arrange for you to go out for a drink tonight!" He suddenly wanted to have a drink to celebrate.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangyang quickly waved his hand, "Forget about you treating me, come to my place in the morning, I'll make the arrangements."

It's perfect that he has food and wine in his space, so he doesn't have to go out and spend money.

Qian Wenqing felt a little embarrassed, as he had suggested drinking himself and then asked the other person to treat him.

"That's not a good idea..."

Xu Xiangyang interrupted him directly, "What's wrong with that? You treated me last time too, so it's settled."

When you treat someone to a meal, you should reciprocate. Don't always let others treat you. Even if you don't say anything, you should at least be aware of the consequences.

Unless you don't want to get to know this person well, then it doesn't matter; you won't care if you have a bad impression.

Xu Xiangyang, however, wanted to maintain contact with Qian Wenqing, so they had to get along well.

Seeing his serious attitude, Qian Wenqing didn't say anything more. He also thought that this person was not bad, at least he wasn't stingy.

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Director Liu called Xu Xiangyang and Qian Wenqing to his office.

Xu Xiangyang guessed that it was probably because of the robbery he had encountered that day.

A high-ranking official specifically sought out the two of them; there's probably nothing else going on besides this matter.

Director Liu chuckled and asked them to sit down, then sat down opposite them himself.

"Comrade Xu, I heard from Xiao Qian yesterday that you did a great job. You will definitely receive a reward this month."

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "You were able to step forward in such a difficult situation and protect the country's property, which should be encouraged! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell your unit, and we will definitely help you solve them if we can."

Xu Xiangyang humbly said, "We just did what we were supposed to do; we're not that great."

Just take what the bureau chief says with a grain of salt; if there's really anything you can do to help, you probably can't.

At least Xu Xiangyang doesn't need anything right now. If he does need something, it's probably a house.

Thinking about the house, he hesitated, then decided to forget it, lest it really cause trouble for others later.

If I can't help but make boastful claims, wouldn't that be a loss of face for Director Liu?

Qian Wenqing, who was standing to the side, did not make any requests, since the company had already promised to give him a bonus at the end of the month, so there was no need to say anything more.

Director Liu said some words of sympathy and then let them go back.

On the way back, Qian Wenqing asked curiously, "Brother Xu, what kind of reward do you think the company will give us?"

There were benefits before, but those were only during holidays.

Xu Xiangyang shook his head. "I don't know. It's not long until the end of the month. We'll find out then."

This person actually asked him that? He's only been working here a few days! He doesn't know anything.

Qian Wenqing nodded, and then the two of them went back.

When Xu Xiangyang finished get off work in the afternoon, he went home early, saying he was going to buy some groceries.

Qian Wenqing expressed his understanding, saying that you can't have nothing but eating and drinking, right?

Perhaps Xu Xiangyang was afraid that he would go shopping with him and then try to pay for it?

What a good comrade! He thought of everything.

If Xu Xiangyang knew what he was thinking, he'd probably applaud.

It's easy to imagine.

He didn't prepare any delicacies for dinner. He just took a lunchbox of chicken stew with potatoes from the canteen, along with some pickled vegetables with vermicelli, a sausage, and a plate of peanuts. That was enough.

Four dishes are quite a lot for two people, and they're all for drinking.

When Qian Wenqing arrived and saw the dishes, he truly felt that Xu Xiangyang was incredibly honest!

These dishes must have cost at least five yuan, right? And the beer too, that's really extravagant.

"Brother Xu, you're going too far. Just some simple dishes would have been fine." As he said this, his mouth was already watering.
