"Dr. Shi, it's getting late, I should go to work now, I won't disturb you. I'll just borrow your guest room to change my clothes." Lin Mian interrupted him before he could finish speaking, then ran into the guest room without waiting for his response.
In the morning, she not only ordered takeout but also bought a set of clothes in the same city, which was delivered to Shi Lin's apartment along with the takeout. With limited time, she didn't have time to wash the clothes and just took off the tags and put them on. Then she put on the cheapest canvas shoes and hurriedly prepared to go to work.
Fortunately, she had dinner with Qin Li last night, so her toolbox was in Qin Li's car. She could go directly to the company today.
She didn't say a word to Shi Lin until she left.
Shi Lin sat in the living room, his deep eyes following her figure from the guest room to the living room, then to the door, which slammed shut. The entire sequence of movements was smooth.
He sat on the sofa for a few seconds, his calm face gradually darkening.
It took him a while to throw his phone down heavily, then he walked to the dining room, picked up the two plates of small dishes, and emptied them into the trash can.
Very good, after sleeping together, she took the money and ran without looking back, doing business more decisively than him.
Lin Mian, you are truly something.
...
Lin Mian arrived at the company early in the morning and learned that there were other work arrangements today, so she didn't need to go to the hospital for measurements.
She breathed a sigh of relief, finished all her work in the morning, and freed up some time in the afternoon. She went to Qin Li to ask for leave and said she needed to find a new place to live as soon as possible.
"Aren't you just moved into a new place?" Qin Li asked, puzzled.
Lin Mian briefly explained what happened last night without going into details, just mentioning that the environment was chaotic and not suitable for living.
Qin Li keenly sensed her dilemma and suggested directly:
"Mian Mian, why don't you live in my neighborhood? It's close to the company, very convenient for you to work, and most importantly, it's very safe."
Qin Li's neighborhood?
The Eight-Face City?
Lin Mian was shocked, her hair standing on end. She couldn't help but sigh, "Master, I'm just a small intern. My monthly salary is not enough to rent a house in the Eight-Face City."
How could she afford to rent an apartment in such a high-end luxury building?
"You don't have to worry about that. The company has employee dormitories, and there are a few apartments in the Eight-Face City specifically for interns as part of a support program. Just submit an application to the HR department, and if it's quick, you can move in before the end of the workday."
"Employee dormitories?"
Lin Mian was shocked. How come she had never heard about the company having employee dormitories before she joined?
"This benefit was just established not long ago and hasn't been implemented yet. Consider yourself as one of the first batch of employees to enjoy it. Since I have nothing to do this afternoon, I'll help you move," Qin Li said with a calm smile.
Lin Mian couldn't believe her luck in landing such a good opportunity. She immediately nodded happily, "Great, I'll go write the application now!"
"Okay, go ahead," Qin Li smiled indulgently.
As Lin Mian took a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to Qin Li, asking, "By the way, Master, do you happen to know in which buildings the apartments in the Eight-Face City are located?"
She was worried about ending up in the same building as Shi Lin, who also lived in the Eight-Face City.
"I'm not too sure about that. You go ahead and write the application. I'll make a call to inquire and let you know later," Qin Li replied.
"Alright, thank you, Master," Lin Mian said before leaving the office.
Once Lin Mian was out of sight, Qin Li took out her phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Shi Lin, do you have an empty apartment in the Eight-Face City that you could rent to me?"
