Chapter 95： Exchange keys

Chapter 95 Changing Keys

Xu Aiguo feels that something seems wrong with Cao Jiandang today.

The specific manifestation is that she talks to him frequently and stays very close to him. She always puts her arms around his shoulders.

Although Cao Jiandang had made similar moves in the past, it was still different from today.

It happened too frequently today, as if it was intentional.

etc.

Xu Aiguo, who was busy at first, stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly.

on purpose?

Could it be that Cao Jiandang did it on purpose?

The more he thought about it, the more Xu Aiguo thought it was possible!

But why?

What is his purpose?

Almost instantly, Xu Aiguo thought of the recent house division and the voice of his little girl he had heard before about Cao Jiandang's frame-up of him.

Could it be today? !

In the past two days, the factory has been allocating welfare houses. To be honest, Xu Aiguo must be envious of them. Who doesn't like houses?

Although he lives in the Qinghe Production Team and lives in a brick house, which is not small, the house in the countryside is still different from the house in the county.

Moreover, Xu Aiguo has been thinking about how to make up for the debt owed to his little daughter. If he can be allocated a welfare house, he plans to transfer it to the name of his little daughter Ningning.

Let the little girl have a guarantee for her future life!

However, Xu Aiguo also knows that based on his qualifications, it is impossible to be allocated a welfare house.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

However, Xu Aiguo thought of another possibility, which was what his little girl said in her heart. The factory had reserved three apartments for workshop directors. If they were lucky enough, they might be able to get one.

Xu Aiguo is relatively confident that he can be the director of this workshop, but for this house, he is not sure. He doesn’t know if he is lucky enough!

Simply, Xu Aiguo didn’t think about it.

Since recently receiving the good quality cloth that was assigned to him by the factory to be shipped to Shanghai, Xu Aiguo's thoughts have been focused on this batch of cloth.

He was afraid that something might happen to this batch of cloth.

After all, in Ning Ning’s mind, Cao Jiandang was the accident!

And today, Cao Jiandang's frequent strange behavior must be today.

Thinking of this possibility, Xu Aiguo frowned even deeper.

But why did Cao Jiandang approach him so frequently today?

Is there anything in him that Cao Jiandang wants, and is it related to this batch of cloth?

Xu Aiguo was thinking and groping around himself.

He felt something and took it out of his pocket.

What Xu Aiguo was holding in his hand was a key.

The batch of cloth he was looking after was placed in one of the warehouses, and that warehouse was locked, and the key was the one he had.

These days, every day, Xu Aiguo will count the cloths he put in today, as well as the total number of cloths. Only after the total count is correct, will he lock the door and keep the key close to his body.

Just now, Xu Aiguo thought Cao Jiandang was here to steal the key from him.

But the key is still there.

Xu Aiguo breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he was overthinking it?

Xu Aiguo put the keys back into his pocket and continued working.

But just when he was about to put the key into his pocket, Xu Aiguo seemed to think of something. His eyes froze for a moment, and then he suddenly took out the key and looked at it carefully in front of him.

No, this is not his key!

Although this key looks almost exactly the same as the one he had before, Xu Aiguo can be sure that it is not his original key.

The key in front of me is so new that it seems as if it was made not long ago.

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Xu Aiguo’s previous key clearly had a paint dot at the end of the key.

It was something he accidentally got on before and couldn't get it off.

Fortunately, although the paint cannot be removed, it does not affect its use, and now...

The key in front of you is unpainted.

In other words, his previous key was replaced by Cao Jiandang.

Why should Cao Jiandang be transferred? Warehouse, that batch of cloth!

Xu Aiguo's eyes narrowed, and there was a chill in his eyes.

“Patriotic…” At this time, from a distance, Cao Jiandang came again.

Xu Aiguo hurriedly put the key back in his pocket, pretending as if nothing had happened.

Chao Jiandang, who came here for who knows how many times today, once again put his arm around Xu Aiguo's shoulders and started chatting and talking.

Xu Aiguo echoed Cao Jiandang while paying attention to his movements.

Not long after, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Cao Jiandang heading towards the pocket where he kept the keys.

Cao Jiandang's movements were very light. If he hadn't paid attention to it this time, he might not have been able to notice it.

Now, from the corner of his eye, he saw Cao Jiandang's hand put into his pocket, and after a while, it came out.

Time went very quickly, only a few seconds, and the movements were completed in one go. For those who didn’t know better, they would have thought that Cao Jiandang was a professional thief.

As Cao Jiandang retracted his hand, Xu Aiguo also noticed that Cao Jiandang breathed a sigh of relief and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if his plan had succeeded.

“...Patriot, did I talk to you too much and delay your work? Hey, I’m sorry, I just feel depressed, and I don’t know who to talk to. I can only talk to you.”

“Forget it, let’s not delay your work. Let’s get together again sometime.”

After saying that, he left without waiting for Xu Patriotic to say anything, as if he was afraid that Xu Patriotic would catch up with him.

Xu Aiguo looked at Cao Jiandang's back and slowly took out the key from his pocket.

The key in front of him was the key that he had accidentally stained with paint.

In other words, Cao Jiandang got his original key back.

As for what Cao Jiandang did with this key before, one can imagine.

Xu Aiguo is also absolutely certain that Cao Jiandang’s follow-up plan will be either tonight or within the next few days.

In fact, just now, when he saw Cao Jiandang's hand reaching into his pocket from the corner of his eye, for a moment, he wanted to grab Cao Jiandang's hand and expose it on the spot.

But after hesitating, Xu Aiguo still held back.

Even if it has just been exposed, will Cao Jiandang admit it?

No, he won’t, he will only have countless reasons to quibble.

Furthermore, it is very likely that Cao Jiandang is still determined to be evil, and there is no telling what traps will be set to frame him in the future.

Instead of waiting for unknown traps and being on guard at all times, it is better to pretend not to know for the time being.

Let Cao Jiandang think that his early plan was successful and let his subsequent plans continue.

At least this way, he knows what Cao Jiandang’s follow-up plan is!

Cao Jiandang, I really misjudged you!

Xu Aiguo knew that Cao Jiandang’s goal was that batch of cloth, and he absolutely could not let anything happen to that batch of cloth.

so…

 Xu Aiguo didn’t intend to carry it alone, so Xu Aiguo temporarily put down the work at hand and went to the office of the deputy director who valued him the most and trusted him the most...
