Chapter 56: Getting there first
"see……"
Chen Xiaoqin was about to call his name, but then she thought of what he had just said, so she could only call out reluctantly, "Captain Xu."
Hearing this, Xu Wangjing turned around, and when he saw that it was her, the tenderness in his eyes disappeared.
"Who came to see you just now?"
Chen Xiaoqin forced a smile.
Xu Wangjing glanced at her and said nothing.
He always hated people asking him questions.
At this moment, Chen Xiaoqin also reacted and quickly explained: "I... I don't want to ask about you. After all, we are..." doing a mission.
Before she finished her words, Xu Wangjing coughed twice, his eagle eyes looking sharp.
The mission was confidential, and Chen Xiaoqin actually planned to bring up the matter in front of so many people.
He frowned, not knowing why his superiors sent her here, but with her around, the mission might go wrong. It seemed he had to find a time to communicate with his superiors and send her back.
He was too lazy to talk to her anymore and went back to the office.
Seeing him leave like that, Chen Xiaoqin felt aggrieved.
Why?
Why did Xu Wangjing treat her like this? She was obviously fine when she was in the special operations camp.
But since he came back from a mission last time, he filed a marriage report not long after and kept his distance from her. Now...
She clenched her teeth, but suddenly thought of something.
etc!
Xu Wangjing had clearly already filed a marriage report with another woman, but now he was dating that woman again. Does this mean that he didn't really like the woman he filed a marriage report with? !
If he liked the woman just now, there was no way he wouldn't choose her, Chen Xiaoqin!
The more Chen Xiaoqin thought about it, the more excited she became.
Yes! I have fought side by side with Xu Wangjing for several years. In terms of feelings, they are deeper than those between him and that woman!
That woman must have been sending food and drinks to Xu Wangjing recently. As he lost both his parents when he was young, he is likely to remember favors. If I send him more things, then...
Chen Xiaoqin was immediately delighted.
However, the most important thing now is to stop Xu Wangjing from having any contact with that woman.
Although she only saw a back figure just now, she heard several police officers talking about how that woman seemed to be pretty.
Oh!
A cold snort.
No matter how good-looking she is, can she compare to Chen Xiaoqin?
——
When Jiang Anan arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, it was exactly a quarter after 2:00 and the buyer came out with a shoulder bag.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you there now!"
As the two walked along, Jiang Anan felt that this place looked more and more familiar.
She fell silent until she saw the old lady basking in the sun in the alley.
What a coincidence? The house I want to rent is near the home of the old lady I bought socks from last time?
The next moment, the buyer shouted to the old lady, "Mom, the sun is strong today, go back to the house and sit down!"
mom? !
Jiang Anan paused.
Good job!
No wonder she said before that the socks were sold to the supply and marketing cooperative. The old lady said she knew it. It turns out that the buyer is the old lady’s son!
The old lady looked over when she heard the voice, and her eyes immediately noticed Jiang Anan.
"Isn't this Xiao Jiang? Why are you here? Come to my house and sit down. I..."
The buyer interrupted the old lady before she could finish her words.
"Okay, Mom, I brought someone here today for something serious!"
Hearing this, the old lady was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
"Isn't the Wang family's house going to be rented out? If she wants to rent it, I'll bring her over to have a look."
After the buyer finished speaking, he quickly took Jiang Anan over.
The house was located in the west of the city, next to the cotton mill and its primary school. There were so many people who needed a place to live, and he was afraid that if he was late, someone else would rent it.
The buyer walked ahead, took out the key and opened the gate of the yard.
Those who lived nearby were all employees of the cotton mill. The buyer’s parents worked there and had a lot of contact with this family, so the key was given to him.
Jiang Anan followed him in. There was a courtyard shared by two families at the entrance. On the left was a shared kitchen, and on the right was a place similar to a sink with two shared faucets.
Then there are two doors with some paint peeling off.
“This is the house!”
The buyer opened the door to the right room and called out to her.
Jiang Anan heard this and followed him in.
The house is actually not very big. It is divided into two rooms, the inner one is used as a bedroom and the outer one is used as a living room.
I finished it in one glance.
But what satisfied Jiang Anan was that the lighting was very good. The sunlight could illuminate most of the room, making it look very warm.
But there was almost no furniture in the room, only a bed frame.
"What do you think?"
the buyer asked her.
Jiang Anan nodded, "Not bad."
Compared with modern housing conditions, it is definitely not good enough, but compared with the house in Sihe Village, it is indeed much better. There is also a boiler room for central heating.
"As you can see, this room has no furniture. The rent would have been seven dollars according to the market price, but since it has no furniture, it only costs six dollars and three cents. What do you think?"
The buyer said it matter-of-factly.
He had nothing to hide from Jiang Anan.
To be honest, he really hoped that she would live here, so that if there was any new stuff in the future, he would be the first to know.
But six dollars and thirty cents is still a bit expensive. I wonder if this girl can afford it.
At this time, Jiang Anan, who had a huge sum of money in his pocket, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll rent it!"
"Okay, then I'll go to the post office and call the family."
The buyer was about to take Jiang Anan out, but unexpectedly ran into two people head-on.
"I'll rent this house!"
The person who spoke was Chen Xiaoqin.
"I'm sorry, I've already rented this house."
Jiang Anan opened her mouth and responded.
It was so hard to get the house, she couldn't let anyone snatch it away.
Hearing the voice, Chen Xiaoqin immediately became angry.
The bureau only arranged dormitories for her, with nearly ten people crammed into one dormitory. She simply couldn't stand this kind of life, so she asked someone to help her rent a house.
As soon as she learned that there was a vacant room, she immediately asked for leave from the bureau and came over. Who would have thought that someone else would get there first?
When she saw the man's appearance clearly, a look of surprise flashed across Chen Xiaoqin's eyes.
There is actually such a fair-looking woman in this shabby place...
But she really didn't want to share the dormitory with others, so she said, "I'm a forensic assistant at the Public Security Bureau. I really need this room. How about you give it to me?"
Although it looked like a discussion, the moment his identity was revealed, his tone became a little more condescending.
This woman doesn't seem to have any background. If he doesn't want to get into trouble, he will probably give the house to her obediently.
But Jiang Anan paused when he heard her words.
So, the person in front of me is Xu Wangjing’s colleague?
Cough cough!
How could it be such a coincidence?
However, there are almost no houses available for rent in Hecheng, and even if the person is Jiang Anan’s colleague, she cannot give him up!
"I'm sorry, I really need this house, and I've already reserved it. Do you want to change it?"
After hearing this, Chen Xiaoqin's face suddenly darkened.
This is not giving her face?!
