Although Zhang Jin’s presence made Xu Wendong feel obstructed, he did not have a good way to transfer Zhang Jin. After all, they already knew each other, and if he only moved Zhang Jin away while keeping Liu Shii by his side as his secretary, it would surely cause gossip. Xu Wendong ca here not only to build his career but also to woo won; he did not want won to affect his career.
"Director Xu, we have eight housing complexes for public servants here in Haicheng, but the first six are quite old now, and leaders wouldn’t consider those ones anymore."
"Apart from those six, there are two recently built housing complexes."
"The first is our complex. You have seen the greenery and the house layouts. They are all quite nice, except that there are no large house types."
"The second housing complex is in Donglai District, one hour by car from our unit. The complex was just built, the greenery is top-notch, and there are large, stacked villas."
"You can choose between these two complexes!"
As Zhang Jin drove, he shared the information about the two housing complexes with Xu Wendong without any idea Xu Wendong was planning to get rid of him. Before Xu Wendong could speak, Liu Shii’s voice rang out: "It’s obvious that the second one is better, with comprehensive facilities, good greenery, and most importantly, large stacked villas, plus large shopping centers around it."
Zhang Jin nervously looked at Xu Wendong in the rearview mirror and, seeing him silent, said, "I... I suggest you choose our complex."
"It’s not because I drive you to and from work and it’s convenient; it’s mainly because you live alone and there’s no need to stay in a big house."
"Also, you being so young, you probably don’t cook, right?"
"We are in a close relationship; if you live in our complex, you can entirely co to my house for als. Isn’t that convenient?"
Xu Wendong’s eyes lit up: "Hey, Brother-in-law, what you said really makes sense! Just... would it affect your normal life with Sister Shii? I don’t want to be the third wheel between you two."
Actually, Xu Wendong did not want to live in a big house either. Living in such a house alone would make him feel lonely.
Not to ntion Zhang Jin’s generous invitation.
Wouldn’t this give him the opportunity to get closer to the charming woman Liu Shii?
Living in the sa community, is there a worry about not having a chance to win over this sexy, married beauty of a secretary?
Liu Shii felt a tingling in her heart.
Yes!
Why did she suggest Xu Wendong choose another community just now?
Wouldn’t it be nice to live in the sa community?
As long as they lived in the sa community, surely opportunities would co to connect closely together...
"Old couples don’t worry about any third wheels!" Zhang Jin said with a smile. "Plus, it’s just adding a pair of chopsticks, why be so polite?"
Xu Wendong: "Alright."
Zhang Jin felt joyful inside.
As long as Xu Wendong agreed, his ideas could beco reality.
Xu Wendong continued: "But I have one condition, every month I’ll give you two thousand yuan for living expenses. Even if my cousin and Sister Shii were classmates, I shouldn’t take advantage of you!"
"So things really need to be clear."
Zhang Jin agreed readily.
Liu Shii felt very happy inside too.
Xu Wendong felt much more at ease, after all, living alone, there were so inconveniences in daily living.
Can’t always order take-out, right?
Just like that, the three went back to the public servants’ community with their respective hidden intentions.
Zhang Jin called the property manager, asking him to bring all the housing layouts for Xu Wendong to choose from.
"No need to look, is there any available unit in building 3, unit 1?" Xu Wendong directly chose the unit where Liu Shii and Zhang Jin lived. As the saying goes, the nearer the water, the earlier the moon, proximity creates opportunity!
The property manager politely replied: "There is one, at 801."
"Isn’t that the one right above us?" Liu Shii was full of surprise.
Xu Wendong said: "That’s the one, it’s convenient for everyone going to work together."
Zhang Jin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that apartnt is good."
He had no idea if Xu Wendong could help him achieve his dreams, but living in the sa unit, even as upstairs neighbors, really could save him a lot of ti.
Moreover, if Xu Wendong chose that complex in Donglai District, his work would undoubtedly be much heavier, taking more than four hours every day just for commuting.
But now it was different.
They could commute together.
It was very... comfortable...
Hehe!
The property manager imdiately called soone to bring the keys, then took Xu Wendong and the others up to the eighth floor, which had a floor plan identical to Liu Shii’s ho.
However, though the apartnt was finely decorated, it didn’t have any furniture, looking exceptionally empty.
It wasn’t ready for moving in yet.
"Director Xu, why don’t you stay at my ho for a couple of days until it’s set up..." Just halfway through his sentence, Zhang Jin rembered Xu Wendong’s previous words, privately referring to him as a brother. Imdiately, he said with a smile: "Wendong, what I think is after renovation, nobody has lived here. Why not open the windows to let it ventilate, to eliminate so formaldehyde?"
"And during this period, we could buy so furniture. Once everything’s ready, you can move in."
Xu Wendong waved his hand and said: "Brother-in-law, we should keep work and personal life a bit separate. Having over for als already makes feel very awkward, let alone living in your ho."
"I don’t know how you feel about it, but if I were you, I’d feel a bit awkward having a leader live in my house."
Zhang Jin revealed an awkward smile.
He felt awkward too, but wasn’t this an attempt to curry favor with Xu Wendong?
"I think what Wendong said is right, we need to keep work and life separate, maintaining a certain distance!" Liu Shii added: "Honey, why don’t you stay ho and clean a bit, I’ll take Wendong to the furniture market to get so furniture. It’s still early; the furniture should be delivered by evening."
Zhang Jin: "Okay, you just eat out. I’ll order take-out to deal with it." He said, handing the car key to his wife.
Liu Shii smiled sweetly: "Wendong, let’s go pick out so furniture!"
"Thanks, Brother Zhang, we’ll definitely have a couple of drinks tonight!" Xu Wendong said with a smile and then left 801 with Liu Shii.
Zhang Jin waved them off, wearing a bright smile.
He felt he had t an influential person.
A great influential person in his life.
As long as he maintained a good relationship with him, he was bound to reach prosperous heights in this life!
At that thought, he felt blood surging, filled with limitless energy, and imdiately went downstairs to bring a broom, mop, and cloth, cleaning just like it was his own ho.
Humming a tune about today being a good day.
Completely unaware, Xu Wendong had already set his sights on his wife!
