Rainbow TV Factory

Fang Zhiwen couldn't persuade Xu Shanshan to come to the factory early, so he had no choice but to bring her to report to the factory early. This also meant that Fang Zhiwen's originally planned local honeymoon trip was also cancelled. He held the umbrella, still unwilling to give up, saying, "Shanshan, can you play for a few more days? Wait until the wedding banquet is over before going back to work."

"I've married into your city, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Well, we're at the factory gate now, I can go in by myself." Seeing the security guards at the gate staring at them, Xu Shanshan quietly moved aside, embarrassed to appear too close to Fang Zhiwen.

Fang Zhiwen immediately came over and asked anxiously, "Do you still remember where the Personnel Department is?"

"I remember, I came here last time." After saying that, Xu Shanshan waved her hand and ran forward, saying again: "You go home, I can do it myself."

She is not a three-year-old child. It would be so embarrassing if she needs someone to accompany her to work.

Little did he know that Fang Zhiwen was truly a father, happy that his wife was confident and independent, yet also afraid she would be bullied. He stood at the gate like a stone that had forgotten his wife, and was then pulled aside by the security team.

"Want one?" The security guard handed him a cigarette, then followed Fang Zhiwen's gaze to Xu Shanshan and praised her, "Your wife is really pretty. By the way, which department is she assigned to?"

The fact that the factory director's son gave up his job for his wife was unprecedented in the factory's history. Rumors spread throughout the factory that the woman named Xu Shanshan was a seductive "Su Daji" who could charm a man away with a single glance.

Yan Liang from the security team originally thought that Fang Zhiwen was exaggerating, but after seeing the real person today, he finally understood why Fang Zhiwen was so eager to marry her home.

Such a beauty is so rare.

Fang Zhiwen bent Yan Liang's neck with one arm and lowered him. He then raised two fingers of his other hand, pretending to poke his eyes. He said angrily, "Close your eyes! If you look again, I'll poke you blind. I heard your sister is in the plug-in workshop?"

"Yeah, hey? Brother Fang, my sister-in-law is leaving the workshop? Are you willing to let her go?"

Look at his elder brother, he doesn't look like he's willing to do it.

Fang Zhiwen sighed. His father and wife refused to use the back door, so what else could he do? How could he not find a leisurely job in such a large factory? But Shanshan was about to leave the workshop.

Yan Liang took a careful look and said admiringly, "Our factory director is truly a decent man." He doesn't even protect his own son and daughter-in-law. It's truly remarkable.

"Okay, okay, tell your sister later to take care of your sister-in-law."

"Brother, it's all right."

Meanwhile, Xu Shanshan was taken to the plug-in workshop by Xiao Qu, a staff member from the Human Resources Department. This was Xu Shanshan's first time in a production workshop, and she was truly amazed. The spacious and bright workshop was filled with four assembly lines, each about half a meter apart, and people everywhere. The rumble of equipment was mixed with the rustling of clothes as components were picked up and put down.

"Sister Yan, come here." Xiao Qu shouted loudly. An employee heard it, pulled Team Leader Yan's arm, and pointed in Xiao Qu's direction.

Seeing that it was Xiao Qu from the Human Resources Department, Team Leader Yan came over immediately. As soon as she left, the people at their workstations couldn't help but whisper to each other, "Who's that Xiao Qu with? She's so beautiful."

"The ones brought by the Personnel Department must be new employees."

"I haven't heard the factory is hiring, but I know Director Fang's son gave his job to his wife. Eh? Oh, could that be the director's daughter-in-law?"

"I heard Fang Zhiwen's wife is very beautiful. Look how beautiful that comrade is, it's definitely her."

"Look at how she looks, is she a hard worker? The factory is so big, she can work anywhere, why does she come to the workshop to show off?" Qin Sisi glanced at Xu Shanshan, rolled her eyes and said angrily.

"Sisi, she is the factory director's daughter-in-law. Be careful not to offend her, or she will make things difficult for you." Qin Sisi has only a nice face, a bad temper and a sharp tongue. No wonder Fang Zhiwen looks down on her.

Qin Sisi snorted coldly and said, "What's wrong with the factory director? The working class is supreme! Long live the people!"

Come on, I can’t afford to offend this little hot pepper, so just shut up.

The other side

Team Leader Yan frowned coldly. She didn't welcome Xu Shanshan to join her. Instead, she asked Xiao Qu, "Are you sure you've come to the right place? I remember Fang Zhiwen works in the factory office. I have to work three shifts here when things get busy. It's not as easy as sitting in the office."

Xiao Qu glanced at Xu Shanshan, waiting for her to change her mind.

Xu Shanshan laughed heartily and said, "Hello, Team Leader. Comrade Qu wasn't wrong. Don't worry, I'll definitely abide by the workshop rules. I'm used to doing farm work in the countryside, and while that experience isn't very helpful for workshop work, I'm willing to endure hardships and learn."

Team Leader Yan glanced at Xu Shanshan. She was wearing a white lace blouse, blue overalls, and brown flat sandals. While her outfit was work-appropriate, the style and material were all very fashionable.

Is she really willing to endure hardship like this?

Team leader Yan didn't comment, but since the other person was willing to come to the workshop, there was no need for her to chase him out.

She didn't want to offend Director Fang.

"Okay, you put on this hat first. Sisi, Qin Sisi, come here, you are responsible for teaching her." Team leader Yan knew Qin Sisi's sharp tongue, so he hoped that she would make the factory director's daughter-in-law give up and go wherever she could to do some free time, instead of running to her workshop to delay things.

Qin Sisi came over with a somber look on her face. She glanced up and down at Xu Shanshan and sneered, "You should go shopping in the mall dressed like this. Aren't you afraid of getting your clothes dirty by coming here?" As she said that, she deliberately wiped off the black ash from the assembly line and pretended to wipe it on Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan remained motionless, tilting her head and asking, "So, is this your workshop's welcoming ceremony?"

Seeing that she couldn't scare anyone, Qin Sisi felt bored and dusted off the dust. She said coldly, "Okay, come over and watch." Then she sat down at her workstation and started working without caring about Xu Shanshan.

A comrade dragged a stool over to Xu Shanshan and said, "Come on, comrade, sit down."

"Thanks."

"Tsk, you flatterer." Qin Sisi said disdainfully, and then turned to Xu Shanshan and said, "Stay away from me, it's so hot."

Xu Shanshan did not argue with Qin Sisi. She moved the stool behind her legs and did not sit down. She still stood and watched Qin Sisi work.

When Xu Shanshan submitted her application last time, she had already made up her mind to come to the plug-in workshop. Although Fang Zhiwen didn't want her to work hard, he was a very reliable person. He borrowed a set of components from someone and taught her one by one.

She knows the name, installation method, and precautions of each component, and has also practiced it at home.

But she still wanted to take a few more looks.

So even though Qin Sisi had a bad temper, Xu Shanshan didn't take it to heart, but instead observed her carefully. Qin Sisi, on the other hand, was reluctant to teach others, and her hands moved very quickly, fearing that Xu Shanshan would learn from her.

Xu Shanshan picked up a plugged-in component and took a look at it herself.

Qin Sisi said angrily, "Hey, who told you to do that? What if you break the plug-in?"

Xu Shanshan handed the component to Qin Sisi and said, "Is this a diode?"

Qin Sisi didn't take it or look at it. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "What is it? If you don't know anything, just watch carefully. What are you asking? Let me tell you, our workshop is very busy. I don't have time to waste time here with you."

The worker next to her slowed down his movements and couldn't help but secretly look at Xu Shanshan.

The factory director's daughter-in-law has a very bad temper. She has been criticized so many times by Qin Sisi, but she has never shown any anger or anger.

"I just wanted to say that you inserted the diode backwards."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Sisi was like a big white goose with its neck pinched, and she was stuck at that moment. She stared at it and saw, it really was.

The workers nearby loved to watch the fun and came over as well.

"What's wrong? Didn't you pretend wrong?" Qin Sisi said with a lack of confidence.

Team Leader Yan was watching from the side. She walked up to Xu Shanshan and asked, "Have you learned it?"

"Zhiwen was afraid that I would cause trouble for everyone, so he taught me a little. But not as smoothly and well as Comrade Qin Sisi." The latter sentence was naturally false. Xu Shanshan just didn't want to make things too awkward with others.

She just wants to make money and doesn't want to fight with others every day.

Team Leader Yan didn't expect Xu Shanshan to be so thoughtful, so he asked, "Can you do the whole set?"

"Not sure, but I can try."

"Okay, Sisi, please step down and let Comrade Xu try."

Actually, plug-in installation wasn't difficult, but the components were fragile, so extra care was required. Following Fang Zhiwen's motto of "lower first, higher later, inside first, outside later," Xu installed the resistors, capacitors, transistors, and so on one by one.

Team leader Yan picked up the installed plug-in and took a look. There was no problem with the positive and negative poles, and the spacing.

"Okay, since you can do it, then just get to work."

No wonder a village girl could marry into the factory director's family. She must be very thoughtful.

Xu Shanshan's workstation happened to be opposite Qin Sisi, but she didn't care. However, Qin Sisi stared at her hand movements with her eyes open, as if trying to find fault with Xu Shanshan.

Xu Shanshan was not affected by her and followed her own pace.

She just knows how to do it, but she is definitely not a skilled worker.

Xu Shanshan made one and Qin Sisi checked it, but they couldn't find any problems.

The people working at nearby workstations were surprised to see this; they hadn't expected Xu Shanshan to be so skillful. The plug-in process wasn't difficult, but it was also difficult to avoid making any mistakes.

Who hasn't cut a pin when first getting started? Or bent a pin by forcing it into place?

While Xu Shanshan was working hard here, Zhou Kai actually came to find Fang Zhiwen on the other side.

Fang Zhiwen smirked and said, "What's the matter? Are you itching for a fight?"

Zhou Kai rubbed his abdomen reflexively. This Fang Zhiwen was like a madman, beating people without restraint. When he got home yesterday, his abdomen was bruised.

But he really didn't want to see Fang Zhiwen and Xu Shanshan being in love, and he couldn't get over this hurdle if he didn't do something.

It was obvious that he responded to Xu Shanshan's every request during those four years, but what about her?

In Xu Shanshan's eyes, he couldn't see any love for him at all.

The light and tenderness in her eyes when she looked at Fang Zhiwen were something he had never seen before.

Why?

It was obvious that he and Xu Shanshan had been dating for 4 years, so how could they not be as good as Fang Zhiwen's few days?
