Chapter 263: High-end Box

Otherwise, you could stay at the company, but that wouldn't work either. This morning I still have to go with Teacher Wu to attend a meeting, and I don't know when I'll be able to come back.

Oh, alright, alright, go ahead and do your work. Can't I take care of myself? I'll just stay here. At noon today we two will have a meal together, and in the afternoon I'll go home by myself. Does that work?

Oh, by the way, my dad said yesterday, urging you to move in quickly; if not, we'll hire a maid at home. I estimate they'll probably come over in these two days.

Oh, I see, that's fine. Then when I go back I'll have to tell my parents properly, and then tidy up my clothes. Alright, you hurry and get back to work. Look, your desk is dirty; let me tidy it up for you.

Hey, you must not mess with my things.

Oh, don't worry, even if I took those things I wouldn't know what they're for. Don't worry, I'll just wipe them clean for you—hurry up and go.

Geng Jing Shu was being overly attentive here, and at this moment Xiao Yunzhe seemed not to notice at all what was actually happening.

After he left, Geng Jing Shu hurriedly ran to the doorway and then peered outside through the peephole.

Geng Jing Shu clearly saw that he had already walked to the other side of the hallway.

Finally, he took a deep breath and then began to search carefully on the table.

After searching here, he saw a black small notebook placed inside the drawer.

She had seen this notebook before, and Xiao Yunzhe always carried it with him whenever he left the company.

He took out the notebook and discovered that it recorded several important account numbers, as well as some game and login passwords, and even some cloud storage account credentials.

He believed that all of these things should be present on it.

Following the address written there, he indeed found the merger plan's proposal on a cloud drive, along with some even more important data; afterwards, Geng Jing Shu downloaded all of that data into his own USB drive.

The matter proceeded relatively smoothly, but for some reason Geng Jing Shu always felt his mind in turmoil.

He knew that this time he had truly done something significant, and he hoped that this matter would pass quickly, and in the end he could still remain together long-term with the man he loved.

Xiao Ming prefers to keep things simple, and he also knows that if he needs to investigate Guo Xiaoming, he certainly cannot mobilize too many people.

Although there are usable people around Xiao Ming, doing so would inevitably disturb more matters, and he currently does not want to alert the enemy prematurely.

He arrived at the address registered by that worker, took a glance, and saw that everyone living here should be people who work nearby.

Because it's obvious this is a place where laborers gather; basically each person rents a single room.

This kind of residence, similar to an urban village, frankly speaking, Xiao Ming had been here before.

Just after entering the compound, he was startled by a chaotic noise inside, and in the end he merely frowned.

Miscellaneous items are scattered everywhere here, and at the foremost position there is a very obvious dilapidated sign that reads 'Xiao Hong Tailor Shop' in five large characters.

Thus Xiao Ming walked over there, and upon arriving he pushed the door open and took a glance inside.

Only then did he discover a woman sitting inside; judging by her appearance, she is probably around forty years old.

What do you need?

When she saw a man enter, Xiao Hong obviously panicked a little.

Because it's obvious that Xiao Ming's attire at this moment doesn't look like someone who lives in this slum; so why has he come here now?

Oh, it's like this: look, my clothing button fell off while I was handling something temporarily, so I didn't know who to turn to for a moment.

While speaking, Xiao Ming took off his coat and then placed it in front of Xiao Hong.

Before coming in, he had deliberately pulled off that button, and the fallen button was now tucked into his pocket.

Xiao Hong took it and then examined it carefully.

Your, your clothing seems rather high-end, doesn't it?

Hehe, whether it's high-end or not doesn't matter; I just want to ask if you could sew this button on quickly, because I still have to see a client later.

Sewing it on is fine, but I see the other buttons—they should be made of crystal, and I don't have any such items here at the moment.

Oh, if you don't have them, you could try to find something similar or comparable to get by.

Well, then please wait a moment while I check.

After speaking, Xiao Hong bent down, pulled out a large drawer from below, and placed various kinds of buttons inside it.

Taking advantage of this, Xiao Ming stood up and then walked back and forth looking around the room.

This room is actually not large, about ten square meters, but in its various corners are piled all sorts of miscellaneous items.

If you open your tailor shop here, is there still any business to be done?

Ah, you don't know, business here is still quite busy every day; look at those clothes—these are what I made yesterday, and they haven't been taken away yet.

Hehe, it seems these people really are unwilling to buy new clothes, so mending and patching actually creates some business opportunities for you, right?

Exactly, so if such a shop were opened in those high-end places, perhaps it wouldn't get a single order, because the lifestyle of the wealthy is beyond our imagination.

Ah, do you only make clothes here? What about your lodging—where do you stay?

Oh, we live in the neighboring rooms; normally we rent these two—one as the storefront, the other for daily living.
