Siheyuan: Qin Huairu is a lucky charm for her husband

Chapter 2314 Replenishing the Manpower

Anjie turned around, glanced at the open office door, and gave a playful smile.

“We’ve all met her! At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Xiao Lang took her to get food. Sister Liang also said she was nice, and everyone said she looked a bit like Zheng Juan. Isn’t that a coincidence!”

At this point, Lin Chen immediately seized the opportunity; since his wife had put it that way, he naturally couldn't continue pretending to be serious...

"She looks a bit like Xiao Juanzi? I really need to go and see her."

After giving Lin Chen a thumbs-up, An Jie left Secretary Lin's office carrying several file folders to cover her tracks.

Publicity Department

Zhang Duoduo and Ye Xiaolang were chatting casually with Wenyi Qiu. The young girl, naturally, spoke freely and frankly in front of her two elders. She answered every question truthfully, basically recounting her family history for three generations…

"Yiqiu, were you assigned to a single dormitory room?"

The little girl was taken aback by Zhang Duoduo's casual question, because she didn't know where she would stay that night.

"I don't know yet. The logistics department said that housing is in short supply. They told me to wait for notification this afternoon. If there are still no rooms available, I'll go back to my school dormitory. It's not too far anyway, and I'll move when there are rooms available."

Wenyi Qiu had no idea why Zhao Xinmei wouldn't assign her accommodation; she still thought she was only there for a three-month internship. That's why she didn't know where to be assigned...

When it comes to cunning, Zhao Xinmei is second to none; Niu Shurong is like a primary school student in comparison.

The logistics department didn't arrange accommodation immediately, which made Zhao Xinmei think of something. So she was waiting for her brother Lin Chen's signal...

"Why go back to the school dormitory? It's not close to Chaoyang District! How about this, Duoduo and I have some spare rooms, you can live with us from now on. We'll talk about it after the internship..."

Zhang Duoduo lives in Jiudaowanzi, which is her maternal grandfather's house. Although it's close to Tong Zhi and his group, there's absolutely no safety issue. Aside from the Lin family's secret guards, Xiao Hu will be able to suppress those guys.

Although Wenyi Qiu hadn't yet received Lin Chen's approval, Zhang Duoduo and Ye Xiaolang had a premonition. This girl definitely wasn't assigned to their office for no reason; there was definitely something special about her.

Because Jiudaowanzi is crowded and noisy, Zhang Duoduo rarely lets her brother Lin Chen spend the night there.

So even if Wenyi Qiu can't enter the Lin family, Zhang Duoduo isn't afraid that she'll discover the Lin family's secrets.

"Xiao Lang is right, we have empty rooms over there. It's fate that we were assigned to the same office, so why don't you live with us? You'll have company on your way to and from get off work. We have bicycles, so you won't have to walk."

Wenyi Qiu is a naive young girl, and the other person is a senior colleague. Moreover, she's a woman; she's really met a good person!

"Thank you, Team Leader Zhang. I won't stay for free; I'll pay you rent. I can also ride a bicycle; I can give you a ride."

"Don't be so polite, let's talk about it later! We're all good comrades, helping each other is only right..."

At this moment, Wenyiqiu, being very perceptive, quickly got up to refill their teacups.

Zhang Duoduo then gave Ye Xiaolang a wink, the meaning quite clear. The two sisters both knew what the other was thinking…

Jin Canlan, Shi Feifei, and Bai Manning lived in Cangnan Hutong, while An Jie, Yu Li, and Li Jingya lived in Xiyang Hutong.

Starting next month, No. 69 will also have Song Yanzi, Ding Qiunan, Tian Yezi, He Xiulian... Ye Juan and Sun Xiaomo lost Chang Xingyu, but suddenly gained four helpers in return.

In Zhenxian Hutong, there were Ma Suqin and Xiao Yufang. Although there were two of them, they were both very talented! You could say Xiao was strong and Ma was powerful…

Needless to say, in the West District, Sister Zao led a large group led by Lou Xiao'e. Only their own side lacked manpower…

In other places, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang, but in Jiudaowanzi, there are only Zhang Duoduo and Ye Xiaolang.

Although they learned many different dance styles, flashy moves were useless. They only attracted Lin Chen's overwhelming power...

So they were at a disadvantage due to insufficient manpower, and they had been trying to recruit one or two more people. However, they hadn't been able to find suitable candidates...

I got assigned to my own office today, so I can't let the other girls seduce me. I have to take the initiative and not let her slip away.

Just as the three girls were chatting happily, Lin Chen arrived at the office door.

"Is Team Leader Zhang busy?"

The three, who had been chatting and laughing, immediately became serious, and Wenyi Qiu, who had her back to the door, also got up with the other two.

The little girl thought some high-ranking official had come and caught the three of them chatting.

When Wenyi Qiu turned around, her eyes lit up.

Although Lin Chen wasn't wearing his military uniform today, his white shirt, stylish trousers, and leather shoes made him incredibly handsome.

"No rush. Secretary Lin, is there something you need from me?"

At this moment, Ye Xiaolang smiled and went to pour water, while Wenyi Qiu was still standing there dumbfounded and a little at a loss.

Ever since she learned she was going to work at the steel rolling mill, the young girl was so excited she couldn't sleep for three days. She was also beaming with joy no matter what she did, as if she'd struck gold.

Zhang Duoduo knew that An Jie had persuaded Lin Chen to come and see the person.

"I'm here to check on the rehearsal progress for the May Day Labor Day program. Is this comrade from your publicity department? I've never seen him before."

Originally, Wenyi Qiu was going to go up and greet him, saying that she was really happy to see Secretary Lin again, but Lin Chen was now pretending not to recognize her.

Wenyi Qiu's heart started pounding with anxiety. She had clearly told him when she asked for his autograph. He had even shielded her from being pushed over with his arm. How could he have forgotten so quickly!

Clever and witty, Wenyi Qiu nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, assuming it was because Zhang Duoduo and Ye Xiaolang were there. Secretary Lin deliberately pretended not to recognize her…

The girl wasn't stupid. After hearing the head teacher announce that she was going to do an internship at the steel rolling mill, she kept wondering what was going on.

I clearly filled out my application for a small border town; there's no way I could have misremembered. This sudden change must have been caused by my acquaintance with Secretary Lin of the steel mill… otherwise, it just doesn't make sense.

Zhang Duoduo pulled Wenyi Qiu forward and introduced her: "Secretary Lin, this is Wenyi Qiu, the university intern who just arrived today. Yiqiu, this is Secretary Lin of our steel rolling mill..."

Lin Chen extended his hand, saying, "So that's how it is. On behalf of the steel rolling mill, I welcome Comrade Wenyi Qiu!"

The little girl was still in a daze when Zhang Duoduo gently nudged her. Wenyi Qiu then realized what was happening and quickly reached out her little hand.

"Thank you, Secretary Lin. I will study hard and try my best to stay and serve the steel rolling mill."

Lin Chen thought, "Now that you're in, do you think you can leave? No one can take you away. Besides, you're here to serve me; the steel mill is secondary."

The moment their hands touched, Lin Chen deliberately made a small gesture that only Wen Yiqiu could sense was different.

Lin Chen wanted to let her know that he hadn't forgotten her.

"Team Leader Zhang, let's go check on the program rehearsal!"
