Chapter 1376
1376 Intelligence Network
Xia Xing was already filled with a lot of resentment today. Not only did he have to sit through Xia Jun’s lecture, endure Xia Guang’s disdainful looks, but even tolerate the mocking words from the Shao family, especially from that person called Shao Xian. That person was very sarcastic whenever he spoke, so much so that Xia Xing wished he could obliterate that person!
Even when he was working in the small county city back then, he had never been treated this way. After all, Xia Xing was the eldest son of the Xia family’s third son. People were nice to him out of respect for the Xia family and his colleagues in the workplace unit were very protective of him. They would always give him the cushiest assignments first. They felt that if Xia Xing became successful one day, he might be able to help them too.
However, after coming to the capital, it was nothing like he imagined. He was looked down upon everywhere. Yesterday, he made one mistake in the data report, but his superior actually wanted him to redo everything. If he could not finish it, he was not allowed to go home. Everyone laughed at him and felt that he was an inept person who got his position by getting in through the back door.
Even the security officers in his workplace unit looked down on him. Everyone else in the Xia family had started from the bottom rung and worked their way up step by step. Xia Wen had also gotten his current position with his own capability by passing the requisite examinations. Xia Xing was the only one who started in a senior position as soon as he arrived in the capital, so the people who reported to him were naturally unhappy about it.
Xia Jun already knew that this would happen, but Zhou Luo had begged him bitterly and came to vent her grievances to him before dawn every day. She was even more hardworking than a mourner at a funeral! Xia Jun was so annoyed that he agreed to her request. He still wanted to live a few more years. If he did not give her what she wanted, he would definitely fall sick from anger.
“You still have the cheek to ask me! If not for the stupid thing you did! Will I have to come back so late! Don’t block my way and just get lost!” Xia Xing pointed at Shao Yin and yelled at her angrily.
Shao Yin was not a good-tempered person either. When Xia Xing lost his temper, she also became angry. She grabbed Xia Xing’s arm and asked, “Why are you shouting at me! I wait upon the entire family at home every day! Tell me what I did! How did I provoke you for no reason!”
“Since you want to pick a fight, then let me tell you everything! Do you know that your father has brought so many people to the capital without informing me in advance, and he still had the gall to call up Brother Xia Wen! Do you know how embarrassing it is for me! The people at the police post even laugh at me! It’s all your fault!” Xia Xing said angrily.
Shao Yin was slightly stunned. She seemed to know about this matter. Not long ago, Shao Yin’s mother, Bian Duo, had called her and told her about it. However, she had been so troubled with the matters of work and the house recently that she had forgotten about it.
When Shao Yin did not speak, Xia Xing frowned and looked at her as he asked, “You… Do you already know about this?”
“I don’t know! Who says that I know! If I knew, would I have left my own father at the train station?” Shao Yin argued.
It no longer mattered whether Shao Yin knew about this matter in advance or not. The Shao family had already filled up all the guest houses in the capital. Tomorrow, he had to think of a way to find another place for them to stay. He could not maintain the current situation of having two to three people in one guest house and four to five people in another guest house, meaning the Shao family members were all scattered around the capital.
It was not as if he was trying to map out an intelligence network.
“Whatever. I’m going to wash up. You may not need to go to work but I still have to go to work tomorrow! Get lost!” Xia Xing said sulkily.
“No! You haven’t told me how you resolved this matter! Where is my father now?” Shao Yin questioned.
“Do you think I have sold your father? Of course he’s in a sheltered place. Can you just stay at home obediently and not cause trouble for me?” Xia Xing said impatiently.
“What do you mean by my father? Isn’t he your father too? You have to give me all the details. You have to tell me where my family members are or I won’t let you sleep tonight,” Shao Yin said stubbornly.
Shao Zhuang did not dote on Shao Yin for nothing. Even at this point in time, Shao Yin was still worried about his well-being. Shao Yin was the youngest child in the family and Shao Zhuang would always give her all the nice food first. Even Shao Le had never enjoyed this privilege. In fact, Shao Zhuang and Bian Duo were not that nice to Shao Le.
“Are you done yet? I already said that their accommodation is settled. Do you need to go and take a look now with your own eyes?” Xia Xing said impatiently.
