Around 7:40, Brother Zeng led Tian Zhuang out the door, saying, "Tian Zhuang, don't worry, that was the apartment my wife and I used to live in. We've moved to a new place now."
"Really, it's new too."
"You just need to do a little cleaning and you can live there, but you'll have to buy your own bedding..."
Tian Zhuang moving to the department because he had nowhere to live wasn't a big issue, but it wasn't a long-term solution.
So after Han Xiaoping reported the matter to Director Lin, Brother Zeng became the 'landlord', driving the 'tenant' Tian Zhuang around.
No need for a deposit or anything...
Han Xiaoping sipped his coffee while looking around with his square head, saying, "Actually, Brother Zeng and Brother Zhang aren't entirely heartless. It's just that the department's workload was too small, and learning technical skills was too hard."
"That's why they seemed stingy."
