"Old Xing, why are you out again in the middle of the night?" Chief Ni was just woken up by the staff on duty after falling asleep and very displeased, answered the phone, "I’m getting old, not like when I was young."
"Isn’t it the sa for ?" Housekeeper Xing retorted with a laugh, "Co on, I haven’t slept all night today, am I not older than you?"
Indeed, Housekeeper Xing is two years older than Chief Ni.
"Yes, yes, yes... what’s the matter?"
"Has Mr. Feng woken up?" Housekeeper Xing glanced at the ti; it was almost dawn. Mr. Feng usually has little sleep and would be downstairs in the garden practicing Tai Chi at this ti.
"He slept late last night, hasn’t woken up yet!"
"Then tell Mr. Feng that the person I’m looking for is at Victoria Hospital."
"Alright!" Chief Ni nodded imdiately, not delaying, "Rest assured! I’ll tell Mr. Feng as soon as he wakes up."
"Okay."
"Take care outside."
"Got it! I’m not a child, no need for your reminders."
Chief Ni was displeased, "Why are you like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not recognizing a good heart? What’s wrong with reminding you? Did I break the law by reminding you?"
"Not illegal, just annoying."
"You..." Chief Ni was flushed with anger, "You’re a mad dog."
By now, only he dares to call Housekeeper Xing a mad dog. Don’t be fooled by Housekeeper Xing’s cultured deanor; in his youth, he was a famously tough character in fights.
"Don’t talk nonsense." Housekeeper Xing angrily hung up the phone.
Chief Ni checked the ti, gathered his spirit, washed up, and got dressed. As soon as he reached downstairs, he saw Mr. Feng already dressed in a snow-white Tang suit, walking in the garden.
Beside him was the fake Sheng Ning.
"Mr. Feng, you get up so early every day." Qin Cuifen stifled a yawn and accompanied with a smile, "I’ll walk with you every day from now on."
"Why are you, a young girl, up so early too?" Mr. Feng asked casually.
"? I’ve gotten into the habit at the General Union! I have to train early every morning." Qin Cuifen put her hand behind her back and pinched herself hard; heaven knows she was used to sleeping late.
Only a mad person would get up this early.
If not for wanting to flatter this old man, she wouldn’t have left such a comfortable bed.
"Tell about your ti at the General Union." Mr. Feng, nostalgic for his hotown, was always more lenient with soone from there.
"There were so many interesting things." Qin Cuifen scratched her head; she only stayed at the General Union for half a year before being kicked out, nothing much to recall. What should she talk about?
"Mr. Feng, let tell you about the training," Qin Cuifen then picked the good parts, painting herself as hardworking and diligent.
Little did she know that her walk with Mr. Feng had already spread throughout the estate.
Many curtains in the main building were slightly lifted.
Nurous pairs of eyes were fixated on Qin Cuifen, almost wishing to burn a hole in her.
Mr. Feng allowed Qin Cuifen to assist him, casually passing through the small garden and looking unintentionally towards the main building as they turned a corner. Those eyes spying quickly beca alert, and the lifted curtains were let down.
"Mr. Feng, back then, it was really tough for us." Qin Cuifen, unaware, continued proudly.
Mr. Feng glanced at her aningfully and said lightly, "Girl, are you really from the General Union?"
