1752: Janitor

Janitor

After their little display, Han Rui was still curious, but he didn't pursue any further. 1

He knew that even if he did ask, Qiao Yanjue wouldn't tell him. 

Besides, even if Qiao Yanjue did tell him, it wouldn't be of much use. It was obvious that it would take at least some time to practice and master it. 

Han Rui didn't have that kind of time, so he decided to give up on pursuing it.

"Alright, let's get started," Qiao Yanjue said.

That night, Qiao Yanjue sent someone to take the disguised Xia Xibei to the hotel they had visited before. 

The hotel wasn't owned by Qiao Yanjue or any of the families, it was just an ordinary hotel. 

It was precisely because of this that those guys had chosen this hotel to be their hiding spot. 

After all, the procedures and management here would be simpler.

Qiao Yanjue didn't show up in person. Instead, he got someone to take Xia Xibei there as a "job applicant." 

The person had some connection with the hotel, so they took Xia Xibei in through the backdoor to become a housekeeper. 

Since it was just a housekeeping job that didn't require any particular skills, it was easy for her to get hired.

Xia Xibei dressed up as a woman in her thirties, about 160 cm tall, with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat haggard look. 

This was the kind of look that wouldn't draw any attention walking on the street.

The next day, the supervisor assigned tasks to Xia Xibei. 

The supervisor had received instructions, and Xia Xibei only needed to take care of a few rooms. 

The supervisor was unhappy at first, but once they found out that she wasn't going to be paid, he didn't have any objections.

After getting things ready, Xia Xibei pushed the cart to do her job. 

She first cleaned the other two rooms on the same floor, and luckily, they weren't very dirty. 

After she finished, she went to the room where those guys were staying.

She knocked on the door twice and said, "Hello, housekeeping."

"No need!" a voice from inside turned it down.

"This room hasn't been cleaned in a while, we could tidy it up for you," Xia Xibei said.

Finally, the person inside opened the door. 

Looking at the ordinary janitor, the guy nodded and said, "Fine, come inside, but don't touch anything you shouldn't!"

"Don't worry, we have professional ethics. How could we do anything to harm our guests?" Xia Xibei said as she walked in. 

The room was indeed in a mess, with clothes and bedding all over the place. 

Moreover, the room was filled with the strong smell of smoke, which made her frown.

She held her breath, opened the window, and said, "I mean, you paid for this place, but does it have to be this messy? We talked about cleaning up before, but you guys just weren't willing to do it! In a couple of days, who knows what it'll look like!"

"What did you say?"

One of the men glared at her and snapped, "Just do your job!"

"I'm trying to clean up too!" Xia Xibei put her hands on her hips. "But with all four of you crammed in here, what am I supposed to do?"

Seeing her fierce manners, their faces didn't look too good.

"Four grown men staying in one room… Come on, are you really that broke? You don't seem like it though..." Xia Xibei continued to grumble, taking on the persona of a middle-aged woman who loved to nag.

"I'm telling you..."

One of them wanted to say a few curse words, but was stopped by his companion. 

"Alright, just clean up already!"

"You guys need to get outside for a bit. If you all stay in here, how am I supposed to clean?" Xia Xibei shooed them out, "Wait outside, I'll be done in a while."
