"No worries, just wait, I'll be back soon," Xu Nian'an called out, waving his hand as he did.
This was the school entrance and it was very safe. Xu Nian'an knew where to find a specialist for plastering walls, but he had to go early to catch them.
Inside the store, Xu Nianhua was left alone looking at the bare space. She shook her head helplessly, then went to a nearby department store to buy a basin and a broom. She left the shop's door slightly ajar and began to clean up the attic after filling the basin with water.
When the previous owner left, they had cleaned the place quite thoroughly, so all she needed to do was wipe away the dust.
While Xu Nianhua was cleaning, she heard the door being opened again. She rushed downstairs to find Xu Nian'an directing a group of workers.
"Thank you for your hard work, sirs," she said.
After Xu Nian'an gave his instructions to them, he handed over the breakfast he had bought to Xu Nianhua.
