Chapter 16 Home Search



While having lunch in the cafeteria at noon, Huo Qiqi shared the news of her promotion with her younger sister Tang Lili, and felt Tang Lili's sincere blessing.

Huo Qiqi patiently shared some rules of survival in the workplace with Tang Lili. She hoped that her younger sister could go further and develop better in the workplace.

During the lunch break, Huo Qiqi took out some White Rabbit milk candies and peanuts and sunflower seeds from this era from the space, intending to distribute them in the personnel office during work in the afternoon to make everyone happy.

Director Chen was very satisfied to see that Huo Qiqi was so knowledgeable about the ways of the world. After Huo Qiqi had distributed all the things, Director Chen called Huo Qiqi into the office.

After entering Director Chen's office, Huo Qiqi closed the door at Director Chen's signal. After Huo Qiqi sat down, Director Chen took her little hand, smiling and looking kind.

"Qiqi, congratulations! From now on, everyone will call you Deputy Director Huo. You have been promoted from a clerk to a deputy director, which is the fastest promotion since the establishment of our food factory.

Of course, you don't have to feel pressured. The factory leaders can see your talents and contributions. Your promotion to deputy director is a recognition and approval of you by the factory leaders. You must work hard in the future and avoid arrogance and impatience.

Also, I'm very grateful to you. I know everything about the hospital. Thank you for the ginseng. Without them, my body wouldn't have recovered so quickly. From now on, when no one is around, just call me Aunt Chen."

Huo Qiqi could clearly sense Director Chen's sincerity, so she obediently said, "Okay, Aunt Chen, I will continue to work hard."

"By the way, Qiqi, there's something I need to tell you in advance. After the New Year, the food factory plans to arrange for some people to go to Haishi Food Factory for training for two months. Your place was confirmed by the factory director himself, so you have to prepare well."

The news that she could go to Hai City to study after the new year was really important to Huo Qiqi. She didn't expect that she was quite lucky.

She had originally planned to go to Hai City or Su City after the New Year to make some early preparations. This study arrangement at Jing's Food Factory saved Huo Qiqi a lot of trouble. She could use her free time outside of studying to plan for Hai City's black market, accumulate funds, and invest in real estate.

At 18:30 in the evening, Huo Qiqi returned to the villa and opened the door. She found that there were obvious abnormalities in the villa's hall and the placement of some things had changed.

Huo Qiqi felt something was wrong, so she quickly entered the secret room in the bedroom and checked the surveillance footage. She found that around 4 p.m., two young men sneaked into the villa. They looked like repeat offenders. In a short while, every room was carefully searched. Fortunately, Huo Qiqi had put the more valuable things in the villa into the space in advance, so the loss this time was very small.

A scene that made Huo Qiqi feel strange was that a short and thin man put a gray package under his bed. Huo Qiqi realized that there must be something wrong with the package. Huo Qiqi's brain was working rapidly, so she left the monitoring room and threw the gray package under the bed into the space.

Bang, bang, bang, there were bursts of rapid knocks on the door. It was very noisy outside, and there must be quite a few people there.

When Huo Qiqi opened the door, she saw a group of little red hats wearing red armbands standing outside. One of them was a thirty-year-old man with a gloomy face. He was holding a piece of paper and looking at Huo Qiqi coldly.

"Huo Qiqi, right? My last name is Zhou, and I'm currently the deputy director of the committee. Someone has reported you for harboring evil intentions and storing reactionary and counter-revolutionary items at home. We need to search your home."

Huo Qiqi looked at the neighbors gathered at the door and some passers-by.

His tone was also a little unhappy, and he said in a serious tone: "My grandfather was a red capitalist, my parents were soldiers and martyrs, and I am the child of a martyr. Some people slandered me and said that there was something wrong with me. I can let you search, but if you can't find anything wrong, I hope you will give me justice."

Huo Qiqi was observing carefully while she was talking. She found that when she was talking, she saw a person at the door who looked very panicked. Huo Qiqi had an impression of this panicked person. This person had attended her grandfather's funeral. It seemed that this little orphan could easily attract the covetousness of these bad guys. Since ancient times, an unchanging truth is that money can move people's hearts. Huo Qiqi felt that this person was most likely the whistleblower.

Just when many Little Red Riding Hoods were about to break into the villa, a voice called out from outside the yard, "Wait a minute, don't be impatient." As soon as the voice finished, Director Xu holding a banner and several police officers walked to the gate.

"Deputy Director Zhou, because Comrade Huo Qiqi helped us solve a major case and performed a significant meritorious service, the Municipal Public Security Bureau reported this to the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Public Security has awarded Comrade Huo Qiqi a banner and 200 yuan.

Comrade Huo Qiqi is a good comrade whom our Ministry of Public Security wants to commend. The Ministry of Public Security needs to vigorously publicize her deeds so that more people are willing to assist us in handling cases.

You received the report and searched her house, that's your job, but our job is to make sure Huo Qiqi is a good comrade worth learning from. We will accompany you in the inspection, so you hope we can be present throughout the search.

Seeing Director Xu handling his affairs impartially, Deputy Director Zhou felt that today's plan might not have any good results.

Deputy Director Zhou raised his eyebrows and agreed that the police would follow the whole process. Just like that, after nearly two hours of searching, around 8:30 in the evening, the search was over. The Little Red Riding Hoods were full of disappointment. They obviously didn't expect that they would find nothing this time.

Deputy Director Zhou, who was in the lead, glared at the whistleblower fiercely. Huo Qiqi followed Deputy Director Zhou's gaze and confirmed her guess that the person she had previously suspected was the whistleblower. Huo Qiqi decided to take the initiative and eliminate the hidden dangers.

Huo Qiqi is now very sure that there must be something shameful going on between Deputy Director Zhou and the whistleblower. These two people must be eliminated. It is not difficult to eliminate these two people, but the difficult part is how to avoid involving herself.

After all the Little Red Riding Hoods left, Huo Qiqi looked at the banner and bonus in Director Xu's hand and didn't know what to say.

"Thank you, Director Xu, thank you, the government, and thank you, our party." Looking at Huo Qiqi who kept saying thank you, Director Xu really felt that the world is impermanent, and suddenly a strong sense of powerlessness emerged in his heart.

"Alright, Comrade Huo Qiqi, you should get some rest soon. This Little Red Riding Hood raid isn't all bad for you; it's also a good thing. You know, many people are secretly eyeing your family's property. This Little Red Riding Hood raid has caused quite a stir. The result of this raid is equivalent to telling the outside world that you have no extra property."

After saying hello to Huo Qiqi and rejecting her request to stay, Director Xu went straight back to the Public Security Bureau.
