Just as Ma Dongmei was racking her brains to finish a movie, Jiang Xile pulled a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Li Xiuli.

"Take a look at the design on this, see if you can finish it before July 1st!"

Li Xiuli took it and read it. The description was very detailed; the items were made of red silk, but the quantity...

"Deputy Section Chief, I have other work to do, and if I add this to the mix, I might not be able to handle it all. Also, where do you plan to use these flowers?"

The pattern on the paper is somewhat similar to the shape of a Chinese knot, except that the rope has been replaced with red silk. It would be impossible to make this unless you have very skillful hands.

"You don't need to worry about where to use it. You can't do it by yourself. I've picked out a helper for you! Ma Dongmei will work with you."

"ah?"

Caught off guard by being called out by name, Ma Dongmei was still a little confused. She had been lost in her own daydreams and hadn't noticed what the leader was saying at all.

Jiang Xile sighed. This person was quite clever when he was tattling, but why was he acting so naive now?

"Take a look at the blueprints your sister Li has, see if you can make this!"

Ma Dongmei glanced at it.

"Boss, I know how to do it. I often do handicrafts at home. I can make matchboxes, sew shoe soles, and knit sweaters. This is easy to understand. Boss, your drawing is really good!"

Jiang Xile rubbed his head. This guy is quite eloquent when he's not being silly.

"Alright, as long as you know how to do it, that's fine. Remember, bring it to me as soon as you're done. If anyone else asks, just say I want to add some decorations around the venue, understand?"

"knew!"

Although Li Xiuli was a little confused and didn't understand why Jiang Xile was doing this, she knew that smart people should be less curious.

The tasks assigned by the leader are just that; as long as she does her best to complete them, that's enough. As for other things, they are not her concern.

Ma Dongmei seemed to be deep in thought, but seeing that Jiang Xile didn't seem inclined to say anything, she pretended not to know anything.

Since I've already been entrusted with important responsibilities by my superiors, how far away is the day I'm officially appointed?

Without anyone knowing, she had already become one of the deputy section chief's people, hooking up with a powerful figure. Haha, from now on, she will naturally be the most eye-catching among these apprentices!

She fantasizes about the glorious moment when she defeats all the apprentices and wins the permanent position...

"Hehe...hehe...."

“Ma Dongmei….Ma Dongmei….”

A clear, crisp voice pulled Ma Dongmei back from her reverie.

"Huh...who called me?"

Yu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and patted Ma Dongmei's arm.

"Ma Dongmei, I'm right here! What are you grinning about? I've called you several times and you haven't responded!"

"Ah...hehe, sorry, I was a little distracted. Did you call me for something?"

"It's nothing. I was just reminding you it's time to leave work. Look, everyone else has left, and you're just sitting here grinning like an idiot. If I hadn't forgotten my lunchbox and come back, I don't know how long you would have been sitting here like that!"

"Cough cough..."

Ma Dongmei felt a little embarrassed by what was said.

"Thanks! I was so distracted I didn't even notice. Well, I'm off work now, see you tomorrow!"

"Wait a minute, wait for me, let's go together, I'll just grab my lunchbox and be done!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you, no rush!"

The two left the office together, and Yu Xiaoyu began to subtly inquire about their whereabouts.

"Dongmei, where did the deputy section chief call you and Sister Xiuli to do just now? Is there some good job for you?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Dongmei immediately became alert.

"What a great job! It's just that the boss saw that Sister Xiuli and I usually do a good job with our handicrafts, so he gave us some extra work to decorate the venue."

"Doing crafts?"

"Of course, what else could we do!"

"I thought something good had happened! The deputy section chief seems to think you're quite important!"

[Here it comes again, here it comes again! Du Meili has said this before!]

Ma Dongmei sighed inwardly. These two really treated her like a fool. They always tried to get information from her whenever something happened, and they kept going back and forth.

"Where are there so many good things to do? At work, all you do is work! You say the deputy section chief values ​​me? I don't see it!"

I think the deputy section chief values ​​Zhang Laifu and Du Meili quite a bit. Look, he entrusted them with such important tasks as checking the actors and reviewing the program.

The blame was shifted eastward. The propaganda department only had a few people, and they couldn't compete with the regular employees, so it was just four apprentices left to fight amongst themselves.

"Yeah, you're right. Du Meili is always showing off, and Zhang Laifu is no pushover either."

Ma Dongmei pursed her lips, deciding not to repeat herself. Backbiting wasn't her style. Besides, those two weren't good people, so why should Yu Xiaoyu be any better?

They're all old foxes, why bother playing these old tricks with her? If this were in front of Du Meili, Yu Xiaoyu would probably be cursing Ma Dongmei instead.

Yu Xiaoyu muttered for a while, but seeing that Ma Dongmei didn't react, she reluctantly shut up.

Once they stepped out of the steel rolling mill, the two went their separate ways, one on the left and one on the right.

Jiang Xile, riding her bicycle, hadn't even left the gate when she saw Liu Ziming waiting outside.

He wore a white shirt on top, paired with navy blue trousers and shiny leather shoes, attracting the attention of many young girls.

Before she could even walk over, she saw a little girl running straight towards Liu Ziming. It was obvious at a glance that she was another girl who had fallen for Liu Ziming's good looks.

"Hello, comrade. I am Liu Fengping, the cashier of the steel rolling mill. May I introduce myself to you?"

Liu Ziming had a cold face and was very serious when he didn't speak. It was hard to imagine how much lust Liu Fengping must have had to muster the courage to come and chat with him.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in getting to know you!"

"You...you're too arrogant!"

"I advise you to stay away from me, don't humiliate yourself!"

The girl was initially a little nervous, constantly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes as she spoke, but the other person's reaction was simply infuriating.

"Hmph! Just because she's good-looking doesn't mean she's anything special!"

Liu Ziming didn't even roll his eyes at her. He turned around and went to another place to wait for her, afraid that this woman would keep bothering him and that if Lele saw her, it would lower his impression score.

Seeing the man's avoidance as if he were afraid she had a contagious disease, Liu Fengping stomped her feet in anger.

Although she felt somewhat resentful, she also had her own pride, so naturally she wouldn't continue to try to get close to them and get in their way.

Jiang Xile watched a good show from afar and sighed inwardly. Everyone says that beautiful women are trouble, but handsome men are no less so!
