Pei Xiqing noticed Yu Guangli and Ma Mengxiang's skirt and paused deliberately before saying, "Brother Yingzi is not under my jurisdiction, and I have no right to manage him. He does have some connections with headquarters and does hold an important position there, but I can't give you an answer to his questions."
She also sighed, and said with some embarrassment, "Brother Yingzi's identity is quite special. If he has any important matters or changes, he needs to go through the necessary procedures. The control over his identity at headquarters should be quite strict."
"Ah...I see...I thought you could take care of this matter, what a pity..."
Ma Mengxiang, who was cooking behind her, suddenly looked depressed.
I even forgot to stir the food in my hand.
Pei Xiqing was silent for a few seconds before changing the subject. "But the headquarters is struggling right now, so they probably can't handle so many things. Besides, Brother Shadow isn't entirely under headquarters' control. He has someone directly overseeing him. Maybe if we just ask his boss for advice and get his support, we can easily solve all these problems."
"Who is it?" Ma Mengxiang couldn't help but move closer, looking at her nervously, desperate for an answer. "Miss Pei, have you seen him? If you have, I'll go...look for him and try to talk to Brother Yingzi's boss. Everything should be negotiable, right?"
Pei Xiqing was washing vegetables, and said slowly: "I have seen it."
"Who is it? Tell me quickly..."
"Many things at headquarters need to be kept secret. Some of them involve confidential information, so I'm not in a position to talk about them... But first, you have to tell me, what are you looking for Shadow's boss for?"
"I..." She was stuck.
Pei Xiqing said, "If you want to look for him, you must have a legitimate reason. Also, if you do meet him, what are you going to say and what are you going to communicate about? You have to think these things through carefully. Don't just act on impulse and do whatever comes to your mind without thinking. The headquarters has strict rules, and many things need to be carefully considered."
"I think... I think..."
"Hmm?" Pei Xiqing stared at her, waiting for her to say what she wanted to express.
She was stuck for a long time, stammering, and finally covering her face.
I couldn't answer for a while.
Pei Xiqing smiled: "It's okay. It's not too late to come to me when you have thought it through. There is still a lot of time. Take your time. Many things don't need to be rushed."
Ma Mengxiang bit her lips, her fingers tangled together.
Pei Xiqing sniffed: "Why does it feel like something is burnt? There's a burnt smell?"
Ma Mengxiang yelled, "My food!"
She hurried back in a panic to take care of the food in the pot.
Pei Xiqing and Aunt Huang beside him looked at each other.
Aunt Huang was also an experienced person, so she immediately understood what she meant and winked at Pei Xiqing.
It took us more than two hours to prepare dinner.
There are too many people.
Pei Xiqing was shocked by the number of people who came.
She only knew that the base had taken in many refugees who were previously homeless and not accepted by other bases, but she never thought that there would be so many people hiding in this underground base.
The corridors of the base were crowded with people.
There are the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as well as a group of middle-aged men who serve as guards of the base.
It’s at least eight thousand if not ten thousand.
This base isn't very big, but it can accommodate so many people.
Everyone came for the free dinner, except for Zhang Tianpa, who was relatively orderly. People lined up in long lines with iron bowls in their hands. Dozens of alleys were blocked, making it difficult to get out. To get in, one had to squeeze in little by little by following the line.
