Chapter 993: 0590 The Importance of a Good Persona
Although he really wanted to tell the administrator this, considering that this excuse was a bit hellish, Li Ang changed his way of explaining:
"She is a prospective member of our Bureau and came here with me to rent a room."
"I see..."
After nodding in understanding, the administrator couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion:
"This child... she looks like she's only twelve or thirteen? Does your Bureau actually hire child labor?"
"No, she has looked like this for ten years. If you really count it, she should be twenty-three or twenty-four this year."
"Then how come she..."
"Uh... she had a serious illness ten years ago, so she has been like this ever since."
Got sick ten years ago? And hasn't changed her appearance since?
The administrator was stunned, then whispered in understanding:
"Is she... what's it called... dwarfism?"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes! That's the illness!"
Reaching behind his back and catching the small hand of the girl with emerald eyes that was fiercely pinching the soft flesh on his waist, Li Ang continued to spout nonsense with a straight face:
"Whether this is hereditary or something, I don't understand this aspect either. Anyway, she just doesn't grow... Auntie Mary, Fei Liya prefers quiet, so just arrange a room for her on the sixth floor."
"Ah, alright."
The administrator nodded upon hearing this, then took out the resident register to flip through it, and asked:
"Sixth floor, quiet, and not facing the street... there's only one large room left for 12 Silver Wheels a month. Can you accept that?"
"Yes!"
After making the decision for the girl with emerald eyes, Li Ang turned back and explained to Fei Liya:
"Don't worry, I live here. I know the situation at Happiness Apartment. The facilities here might be a bit old, but I guarantee that everything that should be there is there, and the cleanliness is impeccable... By the way, Auntie Mary."
When he said this, Li Ang turned back and said with some embarrassment:
"Fei Liya's home suffered a disaster. Someone set a fire in her house, burning all her previous savings, furniture, and house, so she doesn't have much money now. The rent might be paid half a month later."
"Oh my, so that's how it is. No wonder she came looking for a house at this awkward time."
Hearing about the situation of the "dwarf girl," the administrator couldn't help but sigh. She looked sympathetically at Fei Liya, who was disabled but had high aspirations and had also suffered a disaster, then said gently:
"It's alright. Auntie will guarantee it for you. Child, just live here first. Don't talk about arrears or anything; just start paying from next month!"
"Tha... Thank you..."
"Hey, why be so polite! It's not easy for everyone. We should help each other when we can."
Having simultaneously collected the labels of "suffering from a vicious illness," "home suffered a disaster," "destitute," and "struggling to survive," and also being exquisite and cute, the girl with emerald eyes seemed to have triggered the administrator's inherent habit of pitying the poor and cherishing the weak.
After finishing the move-in registration for Fei Liya, she comforted her with kind words while leading Li Ang and the other upstairs:
"Don't worry, child. There is no hurdle in this world that cannot be crossed. As long as we don't give up hope ourselves, the future will definitely get better slowly. I am always in the duty room; if you need any help, just speak up... By the way, is there anyone else in your family?"
"Uh... I have an older brother..."
"Then does he have a place to live? If not, can he come over too? There are many empty rooms in that large house of yours; it's no problem for two or three people to live there..."
"Cough cough!"
Clearing his throat forcefully to interrupt the administrator's words, Li Ang whispered:
"The fire I mentioned earlier... was set by her brother himself..."
"Ah, this..."
Hearing Li Ang's words, the administrator couldn't hold it together. She secretly turned her head back and, in a position where the girl with emerald eyes couldn't see, asked with her mouth shape:
'Why? How could someone set fire to their own house?'
'Sigh, I don't understand what he's thinking either.'
Li Ang answered with his mouth shape while pointing at his own head, then made a helpless expression on his face.
Oh, so her brother has a problem with his brain!
After understanding Li Ang's hint, facing the cute "little" girl behind him who had a bumpy life, the administrator's sympathy index rose to another level. As for Fei Liya, who had witnessed all her exchanges with Li Ang, she was already furious.
You bastard pervert! You're the dwarf! Your brother is the one with a sick brain!
Furious, Fei Liya had already thrown her fear of Li Ang to the back of her mind. She began to climb the stairs with her two short legs, panting, while reaching out to fiercely pinch Li Ang's inner thigh.
And Li Ang, who had successfully retaliated, didn't care at all about her attacks, which were no different from an itch. He continued to walk steadily. Seeing that she was tired from climbing, after reaching the fifth floor, he even lifted Fei Liya up and carried her directly to the sixth floor.
"Here, this is the room I mentioned earlier."
Looking at Li Ang, who was enthusiastically helping his sick colleague behind him, and Fei Liya, who had a stubborn personality and wanted to climb the stairs by herself, the administrator couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. She handed the key to Li Ang and requested with some embarrassment:
"Can you help me introduce the rest to this child? Someone seems to have come to the first floor just now, and the old man isn't here, so I have to go down and take a look first."
"No problem, leave it to me!"
After taking the room key and watching the administrator hurry downstairs, Li Ang stuffed the key into the girl with emerald eyes' hand before she could explode, then pulled open the door and threw her inside.
"You bastard..."
"This is your room... Alright, I've finished introducing everything that needed to be introduced. Remember to go to the Bureau for work at seven tomorrow morning. I'm leaving."
After completing the introduction, which was more perfunctory than perfunctory, Li Ang ignored Fei Liya's roar from inside the door and directly used the Black Goat's soul vision to look into his own home.
Empty.
That's right. At this time, William, Mei Lan Ni, and little Ai Li should all still be in school. They probably won't be back until the afternoon. And since Anna wasn't helping Auntie Mary, she must have gone out to buy things.
According to her shopping habits, she probably wouldn't take a detour home after buying things, but would go directly to wait outside Jianqiao Academy and pick up William and the others on the way. So they would probably all be back together in three or four hours.
Since that's the case... should he go and review the prospective newcomers?
After calculating his free time, Li Ang didn't go home, but directly took out the form the red-haired Director had given him in the corridor and flipped through them one by one.
Counting by three and a half hours, he needed to leave half an hour to tidy up, plus the time left for examining the newcomers, so it was best to find someone close to Jianqiao Street who could be reached within an hour...
Hmm? Wait a minute, there's actually a resident of Happiness Apartment in this examination form? ===== CHAPTER 994 =====
