"Found a job?"

Qin Yushen held a hot water bottle in one hand and put his other arm around Lin Xiaoxiao's waist, carefully avoiding her.

He took a sip of water, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and he pursed his thin lips.

Hearing this, he looked down at her in surprise.

She found a job after just one trip; that's incredibly efficient.

When Lin Xiaoxiao got home, she saw Qin Yushen and rushed up to hug him to share her joy.

"Yeah, that security guard didn't want to be seen, but luckily I have sharp eyes, and I ended up beating him up, haha..."

He recounted how he found the job.

Qin Yushen listened and nodded, but when he heard it was about security work, he asked, "As far as I know, security work in the factory is done in two shifts. Can your body handle it?"

After finally getting some health improvement, going back to square one can cause you to fall back into a rut because of work.

He wouldn't agree to that.

Lin Xiaoxiao had considered this. "I can apply to work only the day shift."

Moreover, her health has improved significantly, and the pills have been very effective.

Qin Yu knew that she was bored staying at home every day.

He then said, "Whatever makes you happy."

After saying that, he saw the apple that Lin Xiaoxiao had casually placed on the table. It was big and red, and didn't look like the kind sold in department stores.

He finished his water, put down the cup, glanced at her, and asked, "Went to the black market?"

Such high quality can only be bought on the black market.

Lin Xiaoxiao blinked, thought for a moment, and nodded.

She took it from the space, so naturally she can't say that; let's just admit it.

Qin Yushen placed the apple in their bedroom. If someone saw it outside, they would inevitably ask questions, so it was better to keep a low profile.

After releasing her, I came out and said to her, "Things have been a bit tense lately, be careful when you go to the black market."

Lin Xiaoxiao grinned and threw herself into his arms. "Things are getting tense, so I'll hide in your arms to avoid the storm."

She enjoyed teasing him and seeing his aloof demeanor crumble; it was a very interesting thing.

A smile crept into Qin Yu's eyes; he had grown accustomed to her intimacy.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms, whispering, "Okay."

Qin Yushen, who is 1.86 meters tall, and Lin Xiaoxiao, who is 1.62 meters tall, fit together remarkably well. His broad embrace seemed to be able to withstand all storms and was the warmest haven.

—

Working was easy; Lin Xiaoxiao just wandered around the factory every day.

When it was time to eat, we would rush to the canteen. The food at the textile factory was pretty good; there was at least one meat dish at every meal.

Qin Yu was worried that she wouldn't be used to the food, so he made some pork jerky and beef jerky for her to take with her every day to have a snack when she was bored.

Lin Xiaoxiao learned about the missing fabric on her first day at work, but she applied for a day shift. When the section chief learned that her husband was a soldier, he didn't make things difficult for her.

I hadn't heard anything about another theft at the factory during my two days at work, so I thought the thief had given up.

That day, Lin Xiaoxiao rode her bicycle to the factory. As soon as she entered, she saw that the workers all had serious expressions, and the atmosphere inside the factory was very tense, as if a storm was brewing.

She walked to the security department and heard the department head's angry voice.

"Who was on duty last night? Step forward, all of you."

The tall men who stepped forward were the two who had been recruited along with Lin Xiaoxiao.

The two of them were like children who had done something wrong, anxious and uneasy, their legs trembling slightly and cold sweat pouring down their faces.

When the section chief saw it was the two of them, he glanced at the other security guards and asked, "Whose idea was it to put new recruits who were only hired two days ago on the night shift?"

"The number of people who went missing last night was more than double the total number of people who went missing in the past. The factory manager said that if we don't catch the culprits within a week, all of us will be laid off."

Finally, the two newcomers were punished.

The security guard who was on duty was also fined.

"Xiao Lin, you'll be working the night shift with me these next couple of days." The section chief took a sip of tea, looking at Lin Xiao Xiao with a headache.

On the young woman's first day at the company, he found an opportunity to have a friendly competition with her.

Unexpectedly, he lost.

The defeat was devastating.

This also made him realize that Lin Xiaoxiao was not simple.

The factory had issued an ultimatum, so he could only pin his hopes on her. If she could successfully capture the person, he would promote her to a team leader position.

Although he can't manage many people, he's still a minor official, isn't he?

My salary is also five yuan more than before.

Lin Xiaoxiao's salary is thirty-seven yuan and eighty cents, and she receives a subsidy of three yuan every month, which is forty yuan and eighty cents.

With such high wages, it's no wonder everyone wants to work in a textile factory.

Lin Xiaoxiao considered it for a moment and then agreed.

She's only been working for three days and doesn't want to lose her job.

The only way to keep our jobs is to find a way to catch the thieves and bring them to justice.

Lin Xiaoxiao had to work night shifts for the next few days, and when she got home for dinner, she told Qin Yushen about it.

Qin Yu asked, "Does the canteen serve food in the middle of the night?"

Lin Xiaoxiao thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I don't think so."

It's the middle of the night, the chefs must have all gone home.

"What will you do if you get hungry at night?" Qin Yushen frowned immediately when he heard that there was no food.

What to do if you're hungry at night?

If there's nothing to eat, just bear with it.

However, she had a lot of dry food such as bread and self-heating rice in her space, all of which were supplies she had scavenged from supermarkets during the apocalypse.

She definitely won't go hungry.

Qin Yu thought for a moment and said, "I'll make more dried meat and take more with me. If you're really hungry tonight, I'll bring you some food."

Lin Xiaoxiao refused without hesitation, "No, you have to go to work the next day. I can bring my own lunch and heat it up at the cafeteria in the evening."

Seeing that Qin Yushen seemed hesitant to speak, she said, "It's decided then."
