Chapter 89: The Old Neighbor Lady



[Luckily you brought a mask and a hat, otherwise we might have been surrounded on the road.]

[Shouldn't you be thankful that it didn't affect your meal? ]

Chu Zhaozhao smiled, without further explanation, and went back to reading Weibo.

On Weibo, news about "agents running away" and "agency companies going bankrupt" occupied several entries. Chu Zhaozhao looked at the hot searches in the same city and found this trending search as well.

In the comment section, Chu Zhaozhao found some victims from the same community, sent them private messages using a secondary account, and then created a group.

In the group, everyone enthusiastically talked about the amount of money they were defrauded of. If you don’t calculate it, you won’t know. After calculating it, Chu Zhaozhao roughly estimated that it was 200,000.

This is just one of their communities, let alone other communities.

After communicating with group members, Chu Zhaozhao confirmed that they were the same intermediary, and then Chu Zhaozhao used a small account to post a missing person notice on Weibo.

The theme of Chu Zhaozhao's post is "Looking for a benefactor". If you find this person, you can get a bonus of 20,000 yuan.

In the post, Chu Zhaozhao described the agent's appearance in detail and posted a very blurry picture. Chu Zhaozhao believed that these netizens could provide some clues.

There is a saying that goes, netizens can find everything except their partner.

After posting, Chu Zhaozhao went to bed. She was indeed very tired today.

Outside the door, Chu Huaiyang was still measuring the size of things in the living room carefully. He planned to buy some furniture, but it was his first time buying furniture by himself. He was afraid that if he bought something too big, it would not fit in his house, so he measured them one by one.

The next morning, Chu Huaiyang received a call from the studio saying that there was a problem with the studio's server. Chu Huaiyang left a note for Chu Zhaozhao before leaving home.

When Chu Zhaozhao woke up, the house was empty. If she hadn't read the note left by Chu Huaiyang, Chu Zhaozhao would really suspect that she had fallen asleep.

[Zhao Zhao, something's going on in the studio. I might not have time to show you around today. Let's talk about it next time.]

Chu Zhaozhao didn't really want to visit Chu Huaiyang's studio, so she opened the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water to drink.

Looking at the empty refrigerator, Chu Zhaozhao made a list and decided to go out and buy some groceries later.

Thinking that Chu Zhaozhao had never been to the supermarket in the community, she thought she would take this opportunity to go and take a look.

"Girl, you just moved here, right?" the neighbor greeted Chu Zhaozhao.

Chu Zhaozhao responded enthusiastically and smiled sweetly at the old lady.

"You look very beautiful. Where are you going?" the old lady asked with a kind smile.

Seeing that the old lady had a good face, Chu Zhaozhao no longer had any guard against her and told her truthfully that he was going to the supermarket in the community to buy some things.

"That's perfect. I want to go too. How about we go together?" asked the old lady.

Chu Zhaozhao also felt that there was nothing wrong with it and agreed.

The old lady took the basket of vegetables and took the elevator downstairs with Chu Zhaozhao. After walking to the supermarket, Chu Zhaozhao realized that there were not many varieties of goods in the supermarket.

"Girl, can you help me see how much this egg costs per pound? My eyes are blurry and I can't see clearly."

Chu Zhaozhao took a look and told the old lady the price. The old lady picked up the item and left without saying a word.

"Grandma, do you want to buy anything else? Let me help you find it."

There were many people in the supermarket, and Chu Zhaozhao was afraid that people coming and going would bump into the old lady. Although the old lady looked in good health, she was still a thin and short woman after all.

"Can you help me find where I can buy broccoli? My old man loves to eat it." The old lady said with a smile.

Chu Zhaozhao and the old lady walked towards the broccoli. During the walk, Chu Zhaozhao realized that there were only the old lady and her husband living in her house. They had no children, but they did have a dog.

"Girl, look, if you have nothing else, don't just accompany me."

Chu Zhaozhao had bought almost everything on her list. There were some things she really didn't know how to choose, so she gave up and lied to her grandmother that she had bought everything.

"Grandma, let me pay for you so you don't have to queue." Chu Zhaozhao said considerately.

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, she was seen waving in a direction, and then a man came towards them.

Chu Zhaozhao looked closely and saw that this person was Zheng Yuanjie.

"Director Zheng..." Chu Zhaozhao said in a low voice.

"You know my old man? This is the old man I told you about." The old lady said with a smile on her face.

Zheng Yuanjie also saw Chu Zhaozhao and was a little surprised. He asked Chu Zhaozhao if she had just moved in.

The old lady continued: "Guess what, not only did she just move in, she also lives next door to our house. What a coincidence."

"Yeah, what a coincidence..."

Chu Zhaozhao thought it was such a coincidence that she was speechless for a long time.

"Let me see what you bought."

Zheng Yuanjie looked at the old lady's shopping cart, and then counted the items one by one, fearing that the old lady had forgotten to buy something.

"My eyesight is not good, not my IQ. You always act as if my memory is not good." The old lady complained.

Chu Zhaozhao stood awkwardly by the side. The old lady explained to Chu Zhaozhao, "My old man always thinks I'm old and doesn't trust me to go out shopping by myself. Every time I buy something, he always wants to check to see if I have everything."

Chu Zhaozhao nodded, and Zheng Yuanjie exclaimed, "Oh!"

"Look, I told you you forgot to buy something. I told you to buy two pairs of cotton slippers, but you don't remember."

Zheng Yuanjie seemed to be gloating, but the old lady was furious.

"You didn't write it down on the list, and you didn't tell me this morning. You told me yesterday, so it's normal that I can't remember it."

The old lady's words made sense, but Zheng Yuanjie just smiled and said nothing.

"The cotton slippers are on that shelf. Let me take you there."

Chu Zhaozhao originally wanted to leave, but she felt that it would not be a good idea to just leave like that, after all, Zheng Yuanjie was here.

As she led the old lady to the shelf where the cotton slippers were placed, Chu Zhaozhao wondered if Zheng Yuanjie would guess that she was approaching the old lady on purpose.

Thinking of this, Chu Zhaozhao stood a little further away from the old lady, and the old lady noticed it.

"Don't worry, my old man doesn't have so many random thoughts. He won't speculate on other people's behavior. Besides, he knows what kind of person I am. He might be worried that it was me who dragged you to the supermarket." The old lady laughed heartily.

Chu Zhaozhao's thoughts were seen through. She felt a little embarrassed, but could only smile.

"Have you finished shopping? Why does it take so long to choose two pairs of cotton slippers?"

Zheng Yuanjie urged impatiently. He was still in the queue and it was almost his turn. The old lady and Chu Zhaozhao had not arrived yet.

The old lady ran over in small steps, muttering something.

"Supermarkets now have self-service checkouts, so there's no need for you to queue up."
