Chapter 1062: Chapter 59: Settling In

Arriving at Tianheng Company, Murong Qing got out of the car and entered the company with Go Biqing. The security guard had already seen Go Biqing before, so he just nodded. Holding the newly acquired keys, Go Biqing opened the door and said, "No need to run back and forth. Just wait for me in the room."

Looking at the small one-bedroom apartment, Murong Qing nodded and looked around. Clearly curious about the place, yet the lack of furniture made Murong Qing involuntarily frown slightly, not sure what he was thinking.

Soon, Go Biqing moved all his luggage inside by himself. No one helped during this time, not even the security was of any assistance. However, Go Biqing didn’t mind at all. Just as he’s met a good landlord, he’s bound to encounter indifferent guards, probably more of them. Anyway, over the past month, he’s gotten used to others’ sympathy and indifference.

After settling everything, Murong Qing suddenly asked, "Why is there nothing here? Is this supposed to be a place to live? I heard Tianheng Group has employee apartments?"

Go Biqing was unsure where she got her information but knew he couldn’t stay in the employee apartments, so he said, "This is great! I don’t have to pay a cent. I help with night watch and can earn an extra six hundred yuan a month, saving rent, so I net at least nine hundred yuan more a month. The bed will be delivered this afternoon, though that’s all. I amuse myself by surfing the internet on my phone, so I won’t be bored."

As he spoke, Go Biqing shook his phone in front of Murong Qing. This phone was not the luxurious one he had before; it was second-hand, but being able to access the internet wasn’t bad.

Murong Qing watched Go Biqing contentedly, ready to comment but stopped short, helping Go Biqing put things away instead.

After some time working, Go Biqing laughed and said, "Look, it’s great here! Summer has air conditioning without cost, and winter isn’t cold. If I rented outside, the electricity bill would be exorbitant once air conditioning is on."

Despite Go Biqing’s bittersweet optimism, Murong Qing felt a pang of sadness yet wouldn’t express it; she knew Go Biqing would never accept her help.

"Shall we go? Didn’t you say you need to visit your sister’s place?" Murong Qing asked suddenly.

Go Biqing immediately replied, "Sure, let’s go. It’s getting late, no telling if we can complete everything today."

As they walked out, they ran into Li Mei, who had guided Go Biqing earlier. Familiar, Go Biqing greeted her, "Assistant Li, I just moved all my luggage into the room. This is my friend, here to help with the luggage."

Li Mei paused, then after the introduction from Go Biqing, she curiously said, "So you have help moving luggage. Alright, you two carry on. I have other matters."

Not thinking much of Li Mei’s odd expression, Go Biqing took Murong Qing out to Sun Yan’s home. Gwen was home resting, so Go Biqing quickly got the door open.

The nanny knew Go Biqing too, and Gwen was naturally delighted to see her brother, especially when Murong Qing was also there.

Once inside, Go Biqing called Sun Yan, saying he was at her home and asked her to return so they could complete Gwen’s household registration today.

Fortunately, Sun Yan wasn’t too busy today, so she immediately asked Go Biqing to wait a bit, and soon she was back.

As Sun Yan entered and saw Go Biqing with a girl, she wondered if it was his girlfriend. However, she wasn’t on friendly terms with Go Biqing, so she didn’t bother with it, simply said a few words, and headed out together.

Arriving at the former neighborhood committee, after a series of back-and-forth, they finally managed to complete it by close to four in the afternoon, a result of Sun Yan’s financial facilitation and prior arrangements, otherwise, it wouldn’t be done within not just a day but possibly a month.

After bidding goodbye to Gwen, Go Biqing and Murong Qing returned to the company’s living quarters, having received a call earlier during the process saying the bed had been delivered.

At the door, Go Biqing saw a foldable camping bed waiting, quickly opened the door, and moved it inside.

With the bed set up, bedding spread, and everything neatly arranged, Murong Qing couldn’t hold back, saying, "How can you sleep on a camping bed? At least get a decent single bed, this is ridiculous."

Go Biqing wasn’t bothered, saying, "It was arranged early on by others. I agreed. A camping bed is fine. Sleeping is all that matters, and I have no complaints."

Seeing Go Biqing’s easygoing nature, Murong Qing withheld further complaints but seemed to have some unfavorable thoughts.

Then Go Biqing went out to find the security guard, who handed him the main door key with some reminders.

Taking the key, Go Biqing returned to the room and saw Murong Qing on the phone. Listening briefly, Go Biqing realized it was Zhou Jiaying, and once Murong Qing finished, suggested they go for a meal.

Though Go Biqing refused, saying he planned to sleep there tonight, it being the first day, he didn’t want to return too late.

Hearing this, Murong Qing reluctantly gave up. Actually, Go Biqing wasn’t very inclined to visit because Zhou Jiaying was there, but after last night’s contemplation, Go Biqing decided it’d be better to keep his distance from Zhou Jiaying; she’s leaving for abroad soon, seeing her more would only increase sadness. She’s like an angel from the heavens, while he felt like mud, not worthy.

After sending Murong Qing off, Go Biqing returned to his little room. Shortly after settling down, there was a knock on the door. He opened it to find Li Mei. With her bag in hand, she appeared ready to leave for the day.

"Assistant Li, any matters?" Go Biqing asked.

Li Mei inquired, "How’s it feeling? Though the conditions are indeed simple, this odd job, while seemingly easy, presents a learning opportunity. Your level of success depends on your effort. If you do well, there may be opportunities for unconventional promotion; seize them."

Go Biqing didn’t put much stock in Li Mei’s advice, thinking a miscellany job doesn’t lead anywhere special, all the same.

Still, with someone asking kindly, Go Biqing couldn’t say nothing, so he gratefully said, "I know. If there are any issues, I’d appreciate your reminders, Assistant Li."

At this point, Go Biqing thought Li Mei was done, but she casually asked, "By the way, your friend? Gone? Is she your girlfriend?"

Go Biqing quickly explained, "She left. She’s not my girlfriend, just an ordinary friend."

Li Mei, seemingly indifferent, acknowledged with a sound and left. Go Biqing hadn’t discerned Li Mei’s intention.

After Li Mei left, Go Biqing returned to the room, finding no chair there, he had to lie on the bed. Due to being busy with Gwen’s affairs earlier, he had eaten late, and wasn’t hungry yet. Out of boredom, Go Biqing picked up his phone to browse the internet.
