The rooms were arranged, and everyone put their belongings in their rooms.
"Do we need some furniture? Should we collect some, or make some ourselves?"
The living room on the first floor is a bit bigger than the one upstairs. Usually, everyone prefers to discuss things in the spacious living room.
The same applies when we arrive at the villa.
The villa had only undergone simple renovations, just the walls were painted; there was nothing inside.
There are no other furniture available for the time being, so we'll just use the chair we had before.
Just as they were discussing how to resolve the situation, someone knocked on the door.
Shao Jie ran to open the door, and it was Yan Bin who came in.
"Captain Yan."
After shaking hands with each of them, Yan Bin explained his purpose.
"You probably didn't come without any furniture, so I brought you some. Use it for now, and bring some back when you go out to search for supplies later."
Yu Yanbin laughed, "Oh, this is just like a pillow when you're sleepy. I was just thinking about furniture, and Captain Yan delivered it. I've really been a great help."
Seeing that everyone's smiles seemed genuine, Yan Bin smiled with satisfaction. It seemed he had done the right thing.
"Hey, it's nothing, I'm just glad I could help. I'm just worried I won't be able to."
"Look at what you're saying, how could I not be able to help? If someone really wants to help, how could they not be able to?"
Yan Bin nodded, "That makes sense."
"That's right."
"Hahaha." The two captains looked at each other and burst into laughter.
This act of giving gifts brought the two people closer. They are both straightforward people, and there's no need for pretense or affectation. Sincerity is the key to earning respect.
After seeing Yan Bin off, everyone laughed as they looked at the room full of cabinets and sofas.
A sofa was placed downstairs, and some cabinets were moved upstairs to various rooms for storage.
There's only one sofa set, and the upstairs living room is quite small, so we don't need to use it for now.
"This cabinet isn't enough either; there aren't any cabinets in the downstairs rooms." Shao Jie noted down the things he was missing, thinking he could just remember to bring them back next time he went out.
"Let's leave it at that for now; it won't be finished anytime soon."
"Hmm." Shao Jie turned to talk to Li Xiao, but Li Xiao just nodded.
"What's wrong?"
Li Xiao shrugged and looked at him, saying, "Actually, I have some, but it's not convenient for me to show it."
Everyone: "…………?"
Shao Jie: "...Do you have it?"
Li Xiao nodded: "Yes. But Yan Bin might come again, and it's hard to say what will happen then, so we didn't go out."
"……Too."
"However, there aren't many. Let's go and collect some."
Yu Yanbin finally decided: "Then let's go collect some more, and leave Xiaoxiao's collection alone."
"Yes, we always have to go out to collect some things, and keep some good ones for later use."
"Okay. Let's leave it at that."
Finally, a happy decision was made. Let's check the weather and see if there are any problems.
Go out to do a mission in three days.
After arranging things, everyone sat down on the sofa.
After Ang spoke for a while, everyone realized that they seemed to have forgotten something.
I can't remember what it was for a moment.
"Is there something you've forgotten?"
Shao Jie looked left and right, but he just couldn't remember.
Xiao Peng sat next to him, thought for a moment after hearing what he said, and tentatively said a few words.
"Moving? Eavesdropping? Surveillance?"
Shao Jie's eyes immediately lit up. "Yes, yes, that's it! Surveillance!"
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, check again to see if anyone is still watching us?"
Li Xiao looked at the map but didn't find anything suspicious.
"No."
"Do you ever feel like you're being monitored?"
Shao Jie asked again.
Li Xiao shook her head.
"Phew—that's good." He said, laughing.
Not just him, everyone felt completely at ease.
"It seems this place is relatively safe, but we should still be careful. If we spot anyone suspicious in the future, we must be cautious and never confront them directly."
"Yan Bin is right. Now that we've attracted attention, they won't give up. But we still need to be careful. Now that we've fallen out with Mad Lion, we don't know what they might do next."
Cheng Shaolin still reminded everyone that they were being closely watched from all sides. They were in the open, but they didn't know what some people in the shadows might be doing.
"knew."
Cheng Shaolin nodded.
"Wow, I never thought I'd be able to afford a villa to live in. Looks like you still need capital."
Xiao Peng slapped Shao Jie, finding him annoying because he looked like a thug.
"What a virtue."
"Hey—, why did you hit me? I'm just stating the facts. Am I wrong?"
"Yes, you're absolutely right. Without all the effort you put in beforehand, you wouldn't have a villa to live in."
Cheng Shaolin smiled and leaned back on the sofa. He was very familiar with this kind of interpersonal interaction and the exchange of benefits.
Meng Yang smiled when he heard Cheng Shaolin say that. As a former senior executive of the company, he was very familiar with these things.
Now, aside from strength, interpersonal relationships can be disregarded.
"Interests have always been like this: there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. This will never change. It just depends on what kind of interests are desired."
“Yes, yes. Profit is paramount. We are profitable for them, so of course we have a relationship of interest and become useful.” Yu Yanbin twirled the small golden knife in his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips, and slowly said, “It’s just a back-and-forth exchange. Right now, we’re just small fry, not strong enough. Those shallow relationships of interest are easily broken. They’re very fragile.”
