These words were like a thunderbolt in daylight, causing Jiang Yan to freeze on the spot. After a while, Jiang Yan started to laugh and said, "Hahaha, you are so funny. How is this possible? Our company even has residents and expatriates in war zones."
Operators will all be assigned to dormitories, how could it be that they are assigned to the Longmen branch——"
Tieju patted Jiang Yan's shoulder, with regret on his face. Jiang Yan looked complicated and tried to see some joking meaning in Tieju's eyes, but unfortunately he couldn't find even the slightest bit. Jiang Yan could only put it away.
Such a fluke, he asked in a low voice, "So, why is this?"
"The work efficiency and quality of the Longmen Guards Bureau are too high. There is no need to outsource the security contracting company." Tieju stated the facts helplessly and calmly, "To be honest, I didn't realize until I got there that Longmen actually had no business.
I did. It was probably because the superiors felt uncomfortable seeing an empty space in the company's territory. I happened to be senior enough to be promoted, so they planned to send me here to be a bare-bones commander and enjoy a comfortable life. Why did you transfer to me with such excellent results?
Are you here? Did you say something wrong during the interview?"
Jiang Yan looked at the street scene in Longmen, which had no autumn color at all, and felt Xiao Ran.
"I guess so, otherwise I wouldn't have been sent to the frontier."
This is really the frontier of Black Steel International - Jiang Yan thought about it carefully. As a mercenary company, it is natural that its strategy will not lean towards peaceful areas. It is understandable that Longmen does not receive resources to take care of it. "Forget about the dormitories... housing
There are always subsidies and work positions, right?”
Iron Arm fastened the seat belt, and his strong body seemed to be trying to pop the seat belt open. "You don't have to worry about this, we will take care of it. Since you don't want to eat, can I take you to see where you work?"
"Well, that's it." Jiang Yan turned on the car radio, the engine sounded, and the eye-catching off-road car drove the two of them towards the city.
——
Jiang Yan and Tieju arrived at the company branch after passing through a traffic jam. It was already close to noon. After a rough look and the location, the two had a casual meal in a small restaurant downstairs. Tieju was interested in helping Jiang Yan, so he
Jiang Yan dug into his pocket and ordered a large table of dishes, but his appetite was no longer what he used to. He couldn't put everything in his stomach even if he stretched himself to death. In desperation, he had no choice but to have Iron Arm pack the food and take it back to his home - he
It seems that Yue has already rented a house, but unfortunately it is only a very narrow single room and there is no way for Jiang Yan to borrow it.
"Well, hiccup, I'll see you at work tomorrow." When Jiang Yan said goodbye to Iron Arm, he almost wanted to walk on the wall. The meal lasted from one o'clock to four o'clock in the afternoon. After touching his belly, Jiang Yan sighed,
"I think I was also a very honest person back then... ugh."
Let's take a walk to eat, and we happened to look along the street to see if there were any houses for rent. With this plan in mind, Jiang Yan updated the topographic map in his mind while wandering around aimlessly.
It is not incomprehensible that there is no budget for staff dormitories. The location chosen by the company is still good: it is a moderate distance from the center of Longmen, and it is only two streets away from the Guards Bureau building. This makes Jiang Yan a little puzzled. From the perspective of location
The location of the branch is closer to Xiacheng District, which is the Longmen slum. I don’t know if this can be regarded as a location advantage, but it must have lowered the rent. Otherwise, in a place like Longmen where land is at a premium, the company’s limited budget cannot help it.
Rent a fairly spacious place for just two people to work.
Speaking of which, before I came here, there was only one person named Tie Jian - rather than the size, the larger area may be used to support the scene.
From time to time, Jiang Yan walked along a road that he had some impressions of. More often, he walked through the complicated and unfamiliar alleys to see if there were any relatively low-priced advertisements on the walls. After Jiang officially took up his post,
The salary can be regarded as a basic guarantee. Although the number feels quite large, it is also a relative blessing given by the high prices of Longmen. In terms of the consumption power of salary, the income of the resident operators is naturally indistinguishable from those with heads.
The number of dispatched operators who work on the waistband is relatively high. Moreover, the majority of the income of Black Steel operators is commissions from tasks in addition to the basic salary. There is almost no job in Longmen here, and Jiang Yan's pockets are really limited.
However, the bet with Connor gave Jiang Yan some capital to choose a place to live. There is no need to settle for cheap rent. "First of all, it should be close enough to the place of work, convenient for life, and the sound insulation should be as good as possible... huh?
"Jiang Yan walked until the sun was setting in the west, only to realize that he had almost reached the old place where he used to work - Lin's candy shop without even realizing it.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Lin. Besides, I'm going to hang out in other people's fields in the future, so why not say hello now?" Jiang Yan said to himself, and thought that he might be able to make the Rat King recommend two things with his hands, eyes and ears.
Once he was at his residence, he started to approach that familiar place. He was thinking about something and didn't notice a figure walking out of the corner of the narrow alley. Jiang Shao almost bumped into the person.
"I'm sorry..." "I'm sorry..." Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar? Looking down in surprise, the two of them were surprised at the same time, "Hey!"
They are really acquaintances. I didn't expect that the second person I met when I came to Longmen would be her. Jiang Shao scratched his head at a loss, "What the hell, what a coincidence."
"...Well, what a coincidence." Shen Mo looked up and down at the person in front of her, as if she couldn't believe her eyes. When Jiang Yan spoke, she was convinced that the person in front of her was indeed her tenant a month ago. "...
..." After being surprised, Shen Mo's eyes were somewhat evasive, "I haven't seen you for a while, how is work?"
"It went relatively smoothly. I just suffered some work-related injuries." Jiang Yan said, "You and Xiaoxuan should have settled down. How are you doing?" "Well, everything is fine..." The two of them stood like this.
In the alley, they chatted with this gradually fading light. Although the joy and familiarity slowly returned to a month ago, the two of them had not made any progress in terms of avoiding questions and not mentioning them.
But this kind of conversation seemed familiar to the two of them.
Finally, Shen Mo asked the question he was really curious about: "Why did you come to Longmen? Is it a mission arrangement again?" Finally hearing the question, Jiang Yan took the opportunity to talk about his current situation. "Personnel dispatch, now working at Longmen Station
.”
"...That's it." After hearing this, Shen Mo smiled as if he was relieved, "I thought he would leave quietly after completing the task. When will you pay back the morning tea you owe me?"
Jiang Yan was stunned and smiled softly. He didn't expect that Shen Mo would actually talk about this matter. "Then Miss Shen doesn't want to continue lending money, why don't we find a place to drink tea now? Ah, but..." Longmen can do it at any time.
It's true that all the teahouses are open, but the agents and landlords may not be available at any time. It's already getting late, and if it continues like this, there's a good chance that there won't be any clues today.
"What's wrong?" When Shen Mo asked, Jiang Yan thought he was going to talk about defaulting on his debt, so he quickly explained awkwardly: "Ah, I didn't want to default on the debt, but the problem of where to live has not been resolved yet, and I was thinking...
…But it doesn’t matter, I can just stay in a hotel for these two days. Where can I go to drink?”
Shen Mo blinked, and the impressions of the young man in front of him suddenly overlapped: he was naked and stupid, he was struggling with whether he should bother her to rent a house to him, and he seemed to have settled the matter that night, taking her with him
He who climbs the stairs to watch the fireworks - and he who says, "You get half of the fireworks you see."
She suddenly laughed out loud - although it was a little helpless, this was the first time that the young man heard her laugh so briskly and joyfully.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I'm still drinking tea. Xiao Xuan is about to get out of school now, and I have to go home and cook."
After saying that, Shen Mo strode forward. Seeing Jiang Shao stunned on the spot, she turned around and shouted, "What's wrong, come here."
"Ah, um. Wait, what do you mean?"
"Hey..." Shen Mo put his hands on his hips and seemed a little unhappy, but there was a faint smile in his eyes.
"Did you bring the money?"
"Uh, I brought it."
"Isn't he a gangster now?"
"Um."
"Then there's nothing we can do." The girl smiled bitterly and said again:
"Come and live at home - I'll just rent a house to you."
