"Yes, yes, we have a guest house here."
"That's okay. Just?"
"Just what?"
"It's just that we still have a guest house here?" Zhou Yunzhen asked suspiciously. In such a place where rabbits don’t poop, who would be entertained in a guest house?
"Yes."
"Why? Are there any guests?"
"This?" Li Lili, director of the General Office of the Tenth Brigade, hesitated to speak, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What is this?"
"This? You know that our place is in a remote place. Although every year the leaders of the provincial departments, bureaus or departments come to check on the work, they all come and go in a hurry."
"Yes, so there is no need to build a guest house."
"But they don't live there, there are people living here."
"Who lives there?"
"There are more than 600 criminals here, and their families have the opportunity to meet with them twice a month."
Zhou Yunzhen understood that this guest house was built for the families of criminals. Because many family members of criminals came from afar, they could not make it back in time after the interview, so they had to stay one night before leaving.
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, meant something very cryptic. But he still understood what she meant. Would he be willing to use the sheets and quilts that were used by prisoners?
What she didn't know was how Zhou Yunzhen received hell-like survival training in the primeval forest.
Even living creatures can be skinned and eaten alive. After eating so hard, what else can't be endured in this world?
How do the sheets that are just used by criminals, not to mention washed, but unwashed, compare with the mud in the primeval forest swamps?
Li Lili's worries were naturally unnecessary.
But she didn't think so.
"There are beds, no problem. These sheets and quilts don't need to be from the guest house. I'll find another way. As for other toiletries, they are available at the canteen."
"Do you want to eat? I will give you a meal ticket now. You can eat directly in the cadre and staff cafeteria. The money will be deducted when your salary is paid."
Zhao Li said to her: "The handover is over and the person has been handed over to you. Can I go back now?"
Li Lili smiled and said: "Of course you can leave. Thank you for everything you have done for us. You have sent us new cadres and added fresh blood."
When Zhao Li, a staff member of the Political Department, left, he said to Zhou Yunzhen with a smile: "This is just a stop in your life. You will still have to go back in the future."
What Zhou Yunzhen thought was, of course, because I have been a human being for two lifetimes.
But what he said was, "Not necessarily. There was a saying in the past that there is a lot of potential in the vast world."
"I feel that I can also realize my life value here in the Big Ten Team."
Zhao Li, an internal staff member of the Political Department, felt a little dismayed, "That's good, I'm leaving."
She said goodbye to Zhou Yunzhen and got into the jeep.
The driver in the car told her, "There is a basket of oranges given to you by the Tenth Team."
"Give me a clerk?" Zhao Li asked in confusion.
"You are from above, so you represent the higher-level agency, so of course you will receive preferential treatment."
Zhao Li's horizons were opened. No wonder the people in the agency did not reject the grassroots. Because he is an imperial envoy, he can give orders and gain a lot.
But these couldn't offset the sense of loss in her heart.
The jeep rolled up into the dusty sky and left the tenth group at high speed.
Here, Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, said to Zhou Yunzhen: "You come with me."
"Where to go?"
"Go to your assigned dormitory."
Zhou Yunzhen followed her to the family area not far from the prison. There were several buildings scattered here, including a two-story building.
"Would you rather live on the first floor or the second floor?"
"On the second floor."
"good!"
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, took him to the second floor and opened the door of room 203. "You will live here, right?"
“Who do I live with?”
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, looked surprised, "Do you still want to live with someone else?"
"No, are there so many single rooms?"
"We are in a remote area and the police force is insufficient. The last thing we need is rooms. You see there is only one bed here."
Zhou Yunzhen took a look and found that it was indeed the case.
"Who originally lived in this room?"
"It's Zhang Huafeng, the deputy instructor of the Tenth Brigade. Now he has been transferred to the deputy section chief of the personnel department of the detachment and has gone to work in the agency."
Zhou Yunzhen felt a little unnatural, "I see. Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong?"
"This is where the leader lives, and I'm not suitable."
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, pursed her lips and smiled, "You have a strong sense of hierarchy. Do you want to leave this house empty? Or?"
"Or what?"
"Or wait for other newly assigned police officers to move in?"
"Are there no leaders who have come down from the government?"
"have!"
"who is it?"
"Qian Wenjiang, the former deputy chief of the personnel department of the detachment, was transferred to the deputy instructor of our brigade."
Zhou Yunzhen said: "Just a swap?"
"Yes."
"Then Deputy Instructor Qian doesn't live here?"
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, curled her lips and said, "He lives in a better place."
"Where to stay?"
"He has been moved out of the apartment where the former leader and his family lived, because the original leader and his family have already moved away."
"I see. Well, I'll live here."
Zhou Yunzhen said in his heart that the conditions are much better than those in the family area of the detachment headquarters.
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, gave the key to Zhou Yunzhen.
"You don't have a four-piece bed set here yet. I'll get it for you right away."
"Would you like to go to the guest house to get it? I'll go with you."
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, smiled and said, "No."
"Where to go?"
"Far away."
"Is it so close?" Monk Zhou Yunzhen was confused.
"Yes. Just wait."
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, turned around, opened the door to the adjacent room, and took out a four-piece set and a quilt on the bed.
"Give!"
Zhou Yunzhen immediately took the quilt.
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, quickly laid out the sheets for him.
Then she took the quilt from Zhou Yunzhen's hand and immediately put a sheet on it.
Zhou Yunzhen was leisurely and contented, so he couldn't help.
"Whose quilt is this?"
"From your neighbor's house."
"The inventory of the guest house?" Zhou Yunzhen asked.
Li Lili pursed her lips, "What are you thinking? How could it be from the guest house?"
"Isn't it a colleague's?"
"It's true."
Zhou Yunzhen was stunned, "Is it true? Whose is it?"
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, poked Zhou Yunzhen's forehead with her finger and said with a charming look on her face: "You are a fool."
"Who else could it be? Who do you know here?"
"I don't know anyone." Zhou Yunzhen didn't react at all.
Li Lili, director of the General Affairs Office, suddenly became unhappy, "I'm not someone you know?"
"We just met."
"Just knowing each other doesn't count as knowing each other. How many years do we have to have known each other?"
"This?" Zhou Yunzhen was speechless, "Could it be that you gave it to me?"
"Isn't it possible? We are neighbors. Don't neighbors help each other?" Li Lili said playfully.
"You live next door to me?"
This was beyond Zhou Yunzhen's expectation.
