A single man checks into a couples' room; his life of ease and comfort begins.

Seeing Wang Hui's anxious expression, Hao Qiangzhuang couldn't help but ask her again, "Why are you in such a hurry? What's wrong?"

Wang Hui hesitated, then rolled up her sleeve, revealing arms covered in insect bites. She said, "Damn it, I'm moving to the section chief's dormitory. It's enough already, it's full of bedbugs. I haven't slept well for two days and two nights."

Before Hao Qiangzhuang could speak, Wang Hui interrupted, saying, "Luckily, I only brought a blanket; I didn't bring any clothes or anything."

Hao Qiangzhuang said with a wry smile, "Last time I asked you to move to the third floor and stay with me, you insisted you were afraid of Gu Jia. Now look what happened!"

Wang Hui's face turned bitter, and she lowered her head: "How was I supposed to know there would be bedbugs in the dormitory? Now, I don't know what to do."

Hao Qiangzhuang pondered for a long time before saying, "Tomorrow is Monday. Arrange for Wen Hua to find someone to disinfect all the company dormitories. You're a section chief, after all. Before you moved in, we didn't know to get you a new bed. As for you, you'll have to make do with me on the third floor tonight!"

Wang Hui said with concern, "What if I also have bedbugs on me?"

Hao Qiangzhuang shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "What else can we do? Catch bedbugs with you?"

Wang Hui smiled sheepishly: "I really can't take it anymore. If I had known it would be like this, I would have preferred to continue living in the dormitory."

Hao Qiangzhuang led Wang Hui to the second floor of the staff dormitory and said, "Go to the girls' communal bathhouse on the first floor and take a hot shower. Then take off all your clothes and soak them in boiling water overnight. Tomorrow, wash them clean and take them to the rooftop to dry in the sun."

Wang Hui glanced back at Hao Qiangzhuang with some disbelief and asked, "Will this really work?"

Hao Qiangzhuang shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't know either. You should try it first!"

After the dormitory renovation, the girls' and boys' bathrooms are located behind the old dormitory building. They are temporary structures that have not yet been completely demolished.

They will then all be moved to the first floor of the new dormitory building, where they will be used as a shared bathhouse.

Room 301 in the old dormitory was originally Liu Qiangbei's dormitory, but it was later given to Li Mei and Zhang Guoqiang at a low price. It has a private bathroom and balcony.

To accommodate more people, the separate bathrooms and balconies were all demolished, and clothes can only be dried in the corridor.

Along Hao Qiangzhuang's side, there are rows of employee dormitories. Walking to the very end, the restrooms on each floor are also at the very end. Only the second floor has a dedicated women's restroom because the girls from the personnel department and most of the girls in the factory live there.

These things weren't planned by Hao Qiangqiang, but rather conceived by Liu Qiangbei single-mindedly.

Now, each dormitory room sleeps at least twelve people, and the largest dormitory room has forty-two people, which is the largest single room.

I brought Wang Hui up to the second floor so we could check on the renovation progress of apartment 201.

The renovation here is complete. Someone will come to clean it tomorrow, and another formaldehyde removal will be done the day after tomorrow, after which it will be ready to live in.

However, by this time, Hao Qiangqiang had gotten used to living in the staff dormitory, which was between Li Mei and Gu Jia, and was reluctant to move.

Wang Hui is now a section chief and lives in a single room. Compared to other rooms, her single room seems a bit small. There is no manager-level bed; she lives in a bunk bed, the kind used by employees.

Although Hao Qiangzhuang's residence was a single room, it appeared much larger and more spacious inside, giving the impression of a luxurious presidential suite.

While Hao Qiangzhuang was thinking about these things, Wang Hui had already finished taking a shower, scalded her clothes with boiling water, washed them clean, and came over carrying a bucket, wearing a thick Northeastern cotton-padded coat.

Hao Qiangzhuang walked over and offered to carry the bucket for him. They walked out of the ordinary staff dormitory building and into the management staff dormitory building, where Hao Qiangzhuang led him directly to the fourth floor.

The rooftop on the fourth floor was locked, and the only person with the key was Liu Mengsi. Liu Mengsi left the company to go abroad for her pregnancy and left the key in the HR manager's office.

Once Hao Qiangzhuang became the HR manager, these keys naturally fell into his hands.

Opening the door to the fourth floor revealed a hidden gem: a luxurious three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment built on the rooftop, with the remaining space transformed into a sky garden.

Following behind Hao Qiangzhuang, Wang Hui turned on the rooftop fluorescent light and said excitedly, "I never imagined the company had such a paradise."

Liu Mengsi had never mentioned this place to Hao Qiangzhuang. Hao Qiangzhuang knew that it was a restricted area with cameras, and that ordinary people were not allowed to come here.

Hao Qiangzhuang took out his phone from his pocket and tried dialing Liu Mengsi's number.

I could never get through to this number before, but I got through this time.

Soon, Liu Mengsi's voice came through: "Honey, why did you decide to call me?"

Hao Qiangzhuang said bluntly, "I originally thought 201 was my safe haven, but I never expected that the fourth floor of the management staff dormitory would be such a paradise."

Liu Mengsi seemed to convulse, then choked up, "Did you go up to the fourth floor?"

Hao Qiangzhuang nodded and said, "You don't want me to go?"

Liu Mengsi was silent for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't want you to go, but that place is one I wouldn't dare to go to myself."

Hao Qiangzhuang, curious, pressed for an answer: "Why?"

Liu Mengsi said calmly, "I had an older brother who was originally the heir to this company, but he contracted an illness and passed away. The fourth floor is where he used to live."

At this moment, a cold wind blew, giving people a chilling feeling. Wang Huizhen spread out her clothes, put them on a hanger, and hung them up.

Hao Qiangzhuang felt increasingly uneasy about the place. While listening to Liu Mengsi tell ghost stories, he felt a cold wind blowing in his face. The eerie wind and howling wind made Hao Qiangzhuang feel as if he were in a terrifying scene, and he got goosebumps all over.

Then Liu Mengsi suddenly reversed her words and said, "Silly boy, I was just kidding! That's my place. If you like it, you can move in, but I have one condition: you can't bring other women into the house in my secret garden."

Hao Qiangzhuang hesitated for a moment before asking, "Can I ask you two more questions?"

Liu Mengsi said, "You go ahead and say it?"

Recalling Gu Jia's words, Hao Qiangzhuang couldn't help but ask his first question: "Do you really like me?"

Liu Mengsi didn't respond immediately this time, but said, "Can I tell you about this when we meet again?"

Hao Qiangzhuang nodded and said, "Of course, but tell me the answer to the other question: why are you and even your father so accommodating to me?"
