Jin Feng quickly packed her belongings and left the dormitory upon learning about Ke Wei Qiang's situation. By the time Zhang Huizhi went next door to look for Jin Feng, she had already been gone for a while.
In the Tongshan Real Estate Company dormitory, a four-person room housed only Jin Feng and Jin Zi Meng. As Jin Feng organized her luggage, she quietly asked, "Zi Meng, is it okay for me to stay here at your Si Dormitory? Should I inform your supervisor?"
Jin Zi Meng, sitting at a small table and brushing her long hair, replied, "I just informed Tong Manager that you would be staying here temporarily while looking for a new place. Tong Manager said it was fine."
Jin Feng pondered for a moment and nodded. "Alright, Tong Le is a decent person."
Cautiously, she added, "Zi Meng, your Uncle Ke probably won't be coming out. He’s in serious trouble and might never get out."
Jin Zi Meng turned around sharply. "Uncle Ke is going to prison?"
Jin Feng hesitated to explain everything clearly; she didn't want her daughter to know too much about the situation. She understood that Ke Wenjie had walked out of the police station unharmed while Ke Wei Qiang remained behind bars, which indicated that Ke Wei Qiang had taken the blame for Ke Wenjie.
She had heard with her own ears about the conspiracy between Ke Wenjie and Ke Wei Qiang. Knowing the truth made her reluctant to get involved in this turmoil, as it would not benefit either her or her daughter. Moreover, she still had some feelings for Ke Wei Qiang and did not want to ruin his plans.
Just as she was hesitating, there was a knock on the dormitory door. Jin Zi Meng called out to let them in, and soon Tong Le and Zong Zeyu entered the room.
Behind Zong Zeyu were several staff members who brought in various supplies and fruits, placing them on the floor before exiting the dormitory.
Jin Feng and Jin Zi Meng both stood up, surprised by their arrival.
Tong Le smiled and said, "I brought you some fruit. Don’t be polite; I bought some for everyone in the dormitory as a treat since it's hot outside. It’s good to have something refreshing."
His gaze fell on Jin Feng. "Are you getting used to living here? Is there something wrong at home?"
Feeling awkward yet grateful, Jin Feng looked at the pile of shopping bags on the floor and said appreciatively, "You really didn’t have to go through all this trouble for me."
With a hint of caution, she asked, "You must have heard something about the Ke family situation?"
At this moment, Tong Le understood Jin Feng better. Zong Zeyu was right; Jin Feng was someone who could adapt to circumstances and knew how to protect herself.
"I know that Ke Wei Qiang has been detained by the police," Tong Le said. "So you left because of this?"
Jin Feng sighed with relief inwardly. "Yes! I don’t know how he ended up in there; I was alone in an unfamiliar place. Zhang Huizhi wasn’t exactly friendly either, so I decided to move in with my daughter. I hope I’m not causing you any trouble."
After speaking, Jin Feng bowed deeply.
Tong Le clearly realized that getting someone as cautious as Jin Feng to testify for her would be quite challenging; winning over such a heart would require time and money. However, Tong Le was not in a hurry; she could take her time.
Standing behind Tong Le, Zong Zeyu spoke up, saying that if there was anything she needed, she could just ask, and he and Tong Le would help as much as they could.
Jin Feng sensed that this couple was trying to bring her closer to Jin Zi Meng, and she understood the underlying reasons perfectly well. Seizing the opportunity, Jin Feng took the initiative to make a request, which wasn’t too demanding.
Polite and deferential, Jin Feng said, "Tong Manager! May I humbly request a job? I just heard from Zi Meng that Tongshan Real Estate is hiring Cleaning Staff. As a rural woman, I may not have much experience, but I am quite skilled at cleaning and cooking!"
Tong Le hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to let this mother-daughter duo come together. Just as she was weighing her options, Zong Zeyu spoke again. "Would being a Cleaning Staff be too strenuous? If you can cook, you might consider applying at the Zong Group's employee cafeteria; the salary would be higher than at Tongshan Real Estate."
Jin Feng's eyes lit up. "Really? Is that possible? I feel so unworthy! The Zong Group is such a large company; can I really do it?"
Zong Zeyu nudged Tong Le's arm, encouraging her to make the decision. "You decide."
Tong Le then suggested, "Why don’t you go to the Zong Group? The working environment there will be better than at Tongshan Real Estate."
