"Wang, I heard from Secretary Chen that you want to move to the procurement department?"

Hu Quan asked casually.

Wang Dahai responded, "Yes."

Hu muttered, "We're not short of staff in the procurement department right now, and since you're driving for Director Wu, that's a good position. It wouldn't be easy to transfer you over just like that."

Saying there's no shortage of staff first and then it's not easy to transfer.

That meant, there was still a chance.

Wang Dahai knew he was intentionally keeping him on tenterhooks, so he said, "I can't always be driving for Director Wu, besides, Director Wu might change drivers at any time."

"If Mr. Hu could give me this opportunity, I would be extremely grateful."

Hu Quan chuckled and looked at Liu Ming, "President Liu, keep an eye out for me. If someone leaves the procurement department, let me know."

Liu Ming smiled, "Consider it done, just leave it to me."

The dinner was very pleasant, Wang Dahai kept a straight face throughout, but he did the toasts when necessary.

As for keeping a straight face, Hu Quan thought it was normal, as that was always how Wang Dahai had presented himself to them.

The dinner party ended.

They arrived at the parking lot, waiting for their designated drivers.

While Hu Quan and Liu Ming were smoking and chatting, suddenly, Wang Dahai overheard a conversation of great significance.

"Mr. Hu, would you like to come over to my place for a cup of tea later?"

Liu Ming's smile was natural, his tone was natural, as if inviting a friend over to his house.

But knowing the possibility of something going on between Hu Quan and his girlfriend, this sentence fell on Wang Dahai's ears with a different meaning.

Hu Quan checked the time and smiled, "It's still early, so let's go."

At that moment, Chen Die's designated driver arrived.

"Dahai, let's go."

"Mr. Hu, see you tomorrow."

"Secretary Chen, have a good evening."

Hu Quan was all smiles, and Wang Dahai also said, "Mr. Hu, President Liu, see you tomorrow."

In the car, Chen Die held his hand and spoke earnestly, "Mr. Hu doesn't hold any grudges against you anymore, so once you're in the procurement department, make sure you work hard."

"Don't worry, Sister Chen."

"Alright, I'll take you home first then."

"Okay… wait a second." Wang Dahai took out his phone, pretending to have received a message, and said, "Sister Chen, just drop me off here, a friend is looking for me."

Chen Jie didn't think much of it and instructed the driver to let him off at the roadside.

Watching Chen Die's car leave, Wang Dahai immediately hailed a cab and returned to the restaurant.

When he arrived, he just so happened to see Hu Quan and Liu Ming's cars leaving the parking lot.

Wang Dahai pretended to be on the phone, "Hello, Mr. Hu, yes, I saw your car coming out, where are you heading to next? Alright, alright, I'll have the driver follow you."

Wang Dahai pointed out the car ahead to the taxi driver, "Driver, follow the car in front."

The driver, suspecting nothing, dutifully followed.

About twenty minutes later, the car entered a residential area and stopped in the parking lot.

Wang Dahai fumbled with his phone to make a payment.

Not until he saw Hu Quan and Liu Ming get out of the car and head toward one of the buildings did he successfully complete the payment.

He got out of the taxi and quickly followed them.

After the two entered the elevator, Wang Dahai finally stepped into the building.

He stood in front of the elevator, staring at the numbers above.

Soon, the elevator stopped at the eighth floor.

A few minutes later, he also reached the eighth floor.

This building had one elevator serving two apartments per floor; Wang Dahai first came to apartment 801 and listened at the door for a while.

He heard the voices of Liu Ming and Hu Quan inside, confirming that this was indeed Liu Ming's home.

At last, he knew where Liu Ming lived.

He recorded the address and headed downstairs.

Exiting the complex, Wang Dahai slipped into another taxi.

On the road, he pondered what to do next.

Though he had the address, getting evidence wouldn't be so simple.

He planned to stake out the place tomorrow to figure out where Liu Ming's girlfriend worked and try to get close to her.

In this regard, he was quite experienced.

When he returned to his neighborhood, he felt a bit hesitant.

Should he go to Lin Wanqiu's place or back to his rented room?

While he was deliberating, Lin Wanqiu sent him a message, "My aunt is staying with me for a few days."

"Then I'll go back to my rental."

That resolved his indecision.

By the time he returned to his rented room, it was only around nine o'clock.

It was one of the rare occasions when he came back early.

Usually, he would return late at night or in the early morning.

While waiting for the elevator, Wang Dahai felt somewhat uneasy.

Would it be awkward if he ran into Zhou Qian?

He also wondered if she regretted what had happened in the morning.

As he stepped out of the elevator, before he had taken two steps, he heard loud knocking sounds coming from the hallway.

The forceful knocking made him momentarily think he had arrived at Luo Qin's home.

"Qianqian, open the door."

"Qianqian, open the door, will you!"

That voice...

It was Zhou Qian's boyfriend.

Wang Dahai walked over and saw her boyfriend standing at the door, pounding on it, shouting loudly.

They were indeed having relationship problems.

And judging from Zhou Qian's reaction that morning, as well as the man's current state, Wang Dahai deduced the problem lay with the man.

For a woman with Zhou Qian's personality, unless it was a matter of principle, it was unlikely to get this ugly.

Now, he was locked out.

Clearly, Zhou Qian had likely suggested breaking up.

To have come to the point of breaking up, he guessed the man must have been cheating.

The boyfriend caught a glimpse of Wang Dahai out of the corner of his eye and approached him as if he had seen a lifeline, "Mr. Wang, you're back, hurry, hurry, have them open the door."

Wang Dahai approached, tried to enter the code, and discovered the password had been changed.

He cleared his throat and knocked, "This is Wang Dahai, would you mind opening the door?"

After about ten seconds, footsteps could be heard inside.

Then the door opened.

It was Jiang Rou who answered.

As soon as the door swung open, the boyfriend burst in as if crazed.

He approached the bedroom door, which was tightly shut, and knocked, "Qianqian, can you open the door, please? Listen to me explain, it's not what you think."

Wang Dahai came inside and looked at Jiang Rou, "What's going on?"

Jiang Rou gestured towards the room, "Let's talk inside."

They entered the room, and Jiang Rou said, "He's been ambiguous with a female colleague from his company, Zhou Qian found their chat history."

Wang Dahai asked, "Is it just flirting in messages?"

"It seems they've booked a hotel room before, anyway, their chats were quite explicit."

At this point, Jiang Rou blushed.

Her past conversations with Wang Dahai had been quite explicit as well.

But that was before.

Now, their relationship was just a little better than plain friends.

Thinking of this, a shadow passed over Jiang Rou's expression.

"Her boyfriend's been kicked out?"

"The apartment is rented by Sister Qian."

"Ah," Wang Dahai chuckled, "I'll head back then."

"Mm."

Watching Wang Dahai turn to leave without any hesitation or lingering, Jiang Rou felt an uncomfortable void in her heart.
