Meng Chuyue thought for a moment before leaving the house the next day, then turned back and placed a recording pen in both Meng Wanhua's bedroom and the living room.
She wrapped the one for the living room in a tissue and hid it in the corner of the shoe cabinet, inside one of Wanhua's clean cotton slippers.
The one for the bedroom, she wrapped in one of her own undergarments.
After doing this, she went to report the installation of a telephone at the store to the relevant department, and then directly visited the homes of the two young girls who had worked part-time the day before last.
Their homes happened to be neighbors—one sold noodles, the other sold children's clothes.
Meng Chuyue called the two girls together and explained her intentions openly, "I've been a bit tied up recently and was looking for someone to help watch the store. Are you interested?"
The two girls, one named Tong Wen and the other Xia Ping, both had nice personalities.
