Chapter 399 It Should Have Been Mine
"I wonder if anyone is upstairs. Should I go check first?"
Gu Zhaoxi turned his head to look at Pei Yan and pursed his lips: "There's no need to go up too much, let's go."
"Okay." Pei Yan nodded and looked at Qin Wei and the others: "Will you wait in the dining room now?"
He meant to ask, Qin Wei nodded, and walked towards the dining room.
There is a ceiling fan in the dining room. In weather like this, it's nice to go in there and enjoy some fresh air.
It's better to go to the construction site and work in the heat. Besides, there is no leader who can force her to do so, so it's no problem if she doesn't go.
So, Qin Wei, Shen Yao and Qi Chuzhao walked into the dining room.
Gu Chaoxi took a look and looked towards the second floor.
There was no one in the corridor, and a long towel was draped over the railing at the door of one of the rooms.
The towel was probably originally red, but now it has faded a little.
She blinked and saw Pei Yan walking towards the stairs, so she immediately followed him.
The two walked up to the second floor and counted the rooms as they headed towards the ninth room.
When they reached the door, they stopped.
Gu Chaoxi turned his head to glance at Pei Yan, and seeing that he had no objection, he raised his hand and slowly knocked on the door.
"Brother Qiang? Are you there?"
There seemed to be no movement in the room. After a while, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand and knocked on the door again, the sound slightly louder than before.
"Brother Qiang? Brother Qiang! Are you there?"
Just as I was about to knock on the door for the third time, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. Seeing someone inside staring at her angrily, she immediately put her hand down and smiled helplessly.
"Brother Qiang, you are here. I thought you were not here."
The man inside had short hair, a round head, and was wearing an old man's shirt.
His eyes were still a little sleepy, and it seemed that he had just been woken up by Gu Chaoxi.
His right hand was on the door handle, and his entire body blocked the only open gap, making it almost impossible to see what was going on inside the room.
Brother Qiang supported his left hand on the wall, leaned out a little, and looked around the corridor.
Seeing that they were the only two people in the corridor, the expression on his face visibly relaxed.
"looking for me?"
Brother Qiang was a little impatient. He was just sleeping comfortably when he was woken up by someone knocking on the door.
If it were someone else, they would have started throwing a tantrum a long time ago, but he is a businessman after all, and he would not offend his potential customers.
On this point, Brother Qiang understands it many times more than Wang Chao.
Therefore, under Pei Yan's sincere and eager gaze, Brother Qiang still believed that they really came here to consume.
"Then come in."
Brother Qiang finally gave in and took a step to the side to make way.
Only then did Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan see the layout inside clearly. However, before she could even sigh in her heart, Brother Qiang reached out his hand impatiently and pulled someone inside.
"Don't stand at the door, come in first."
As the door behind him closed, Gu Chaoxi blinked and looked around the room.
Brother Qiang’s room is really not to be underestimated. The first thing you see is the row of shelves on the left side of the room.
On the shelf near the door, there are some kitchen supplies, seasonings, and pots and pans.
On the shelf in the middle of the room are some long-lasting vegetables and rice and noodles.
The shelf at the back is almost entirely filled with food, and they all appear to have a long shelf life.
On the right side of the room, there is a bed, next to the window.
There was a blue curtain hanging on the window, blocking out the light from outside.
At the head of the bed, besides a wooden cabinet against the wall, there was a small homemade stove with a pot on it.
Looking towards the small balcony at the end, there are several red buckets with several basins stacked on top.
There were two or three stacked vegetable baskets on the windowsill, and there seemed to be chopped radishes in them.
"Brother Qiang, you have so many things here. How much do you charge?"
Pei Yan looked around and walked towards the tables and chairs over there.
Brother Qiang walked all the way to the table and chairs, then stopped, reached out and pulled a chair, motioning Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi to sit down.
He turned around and looked at his shelf, as if he was quite satisfied with his work, and then raised his hand and pointed.
"It depends on what you want to eat. I don't have a lot of food here, but it's enough to fill your stomach."
Gu Chaoxi sat down on another chair, put his hands on the table, and glanced at the shelves.
"Brother Qiang, we just need two bowls of noodles. Can you give us an egg?"
Brother Qiang turned his head to glance at Gu Chaoxi. She looked thin and was really shorter than Pei Yan who was standing next to her.
"Okay." After answering, Brother Qiang walked towards the shelf.
On the bottom shelf, there are two large cardboard boxes.
Brother Qiang lifted the cloth covering the bed, revealing straw underneath, with a few eggs sticking out of them.
He reached in and took two from inside. When he stood up, he took a bucket of noodles from the shelf.
He skillfully turned on the fire, added water, and then stood aside waiting for the water in the pot to heat up.
The two of them didn't say anything. They looked around Brother Qiang's room and began to wait obediently.
When Brother Qiang cooked the noodles and brought them over, Pei Yan came back to his senses and smiled.
"Thank you, Brother Qiang."
Gu Chaoxi also thanked him before picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
Brother Qiang glanced at the two people, pulled the chair out from under the table, and sat down.
Watching the two of them eating was really boring, so I just started playing with my fingers.
"What's the problem between you two and Wang Chao?"
It sounded like a casual question, but when he said this, Brother Qiang raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them.
Gu Chaoxi laughed dryly twice and took a mouthful of noodles, as if he didn't want to mention it.
"Well, it's just that little thing. It's a bit unpleasant."
She didn't say it explicitly, but I'm sure Brother Qiang knew what it meant.
"Where is Brother Qiang?" Gu Chaoxi raised his eyes and changed the subject.
Brother Qiang seemed to be reminiscing, his eyes were fixed on somewhere unknown, and it took him a while before he spoke.
"The construction site cafeteria should have been mine from the beginning."
When I was at the last construction site, the meals were provided by Brother Qiang’s family, but this time the construction site was changed and someone took our place.
Brother Qiang lost his job, so he had to make some food for himself in the dormitory, and occasionally help his co-workers to earn some money.
As for his wife, since the construction site didn't need him to cook this time, she went back to her hometown.
When the children grow up, they have to be sent to school to study.
Although Brother Qiang was angry about this, there was nothing he could do.
After all, Wang Chao and Song Jiangwen knew each other, and Song Jiangwen had some connection with the big boss of the construction site.
He is just a barefoot man, how can he compare with others?
