Chapter 214: Down to the Workshop

No matter how hard He Yuxiang thought, he couldn't understand what his sister was thinking. Wasn't it a waste of time to worry about winning or losing over meaningless things?

But seeing Xiaoyu happy, he held back his complaints in his heart.

Maomao just laughed foolishly.

He brought Xiaoyu to the river. The water was crystal clear and the depth was not even as high as the children's knees, so the adults let them play without worries.

The two took off their shoes and walked back and forth in the river.

On the open space by the river, several old banyan trees spread out their huge crowns, casting a mottled shadow, and the parts exposed on the ground become natural seats.

Chen Qing has been busy all morning and is sitting down to rest. He will take a break this afternoon as he has to go to the workshop tomorrow.

While he was in a daze, the aroma of roast chicken filled the air. Chen Qing sat for a while and then took the roast chicken that He Yuan handed over.

"Try it. It's just coarse salt."

"OK."

Chen Qing took it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was juicy when bitten. The simple seasoning of coarse salt brought out the deliciousness of the game to the extreme. She ate it seriously.

The children also lined up to eat.

Seeing He Yuan handing food to Chen Qing first, Mu Jianguo asked, "Are you two dating?"

He Yuan nodded modestly.

Mu Jianguo envied: "It's pretty good."

He is already 25 years old, and still has not settled his marriage. This time he went home because his parents talked to his political commissar and forced him to go back to his hometown so that he could solve the major issue of his life as soon as possible.

He Yuan followed Chen Qing's instructions and gave the chicken legs to Xiaoyu and Tian Mengya.

After the division, He Yuan sat next to Chen Qing.

He only cooked pheasant and eggs today because hare tastes bad when roasted.

The group ate pheasant, and then slowly ate eggs and snacks provided by Tian Mengya.

We spent the whole afternoon watching the slowly flowing water in the river. Xiaoyu had the most fun but was also the most tired. He fell asleep on the way in the car.

Chen Qing had no choice but to help her wipe her body, put the birthday present and the red envelopes she and He Yuan had prepared next to Xiaoyu's pillow, and went back to the room to rest.

Monday is here.

Attracting everyone's attention!

The machinery factory holds a meeting every Monday, and the specific duration and content are controlled by Secretary Yang.

Moreover, the playground of the machinery factory could not accommodate so many people, so each time the meetings were held in different departments, and the others listened to the radio.

Generally speaking, everyone treats Secretary Yang's words as background noise and is too lazy to even listen to them.

Today is different.

News has come out that who will be allocated houses will be announced today.

It is closely related to one's own interests, and no one can remain calm.

Chen knew the final result clearly, and walked towards the easternmost steelmaking workshop calmly.

Many employees saw her really walking towards the workshop. Someone hid in the crowd and said, "Team Leader Chen, are you really coming to work in our workshop? Oh, it's not good to call you Team Leader Chen. After all, you are just an ordinary worker now. If others hear us calling you Team Leader Chen, won't they think we are disrespectful?"

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out around them.

Chen Qing walked straight to the steelmaking workshop without even looking at them.

People who want to see a joke find it inexplicably boring.

The closer Chen Qing got to the steelmaking workshop, the more he could feel the heat wave coming towards him.

The air was filled with a mixed smell of coke and metal.

The slogan on the outer wall of the workshop was newly painted in red, "Fight high temperatures, achieve high production", but it was so bright that it was dazzling.

The easternmost steelmaking workshop was not under her jurisdiction, but she also knew the workshop director.

Chen Qing came to the steelmaking workshop office, where team leaders from various departments were waiting.

The steelmaking director was Ma Zhiqiang, with a square face and a pair of hawk-like eyes under thick eyebrows. He looked at Chen Qing unkindly as she came to report: "What kind of work can you do as a woman in the steelmaking workshop? Can you move steel ingots or carry coke?"

Chen Qing: "Then I can quit."

Ma Zhiqiang sneered, "Not working? Do you think this is the most idle factory committee department? Are you expecting the machinery factory to support you for nothing? With your negative attitude, our workshop can kick you out."

Chen Qing: "Then hurry up."

Ma Zhiqiang was so angry that his nose snorted: "I've heard that you are very eloquent and can make people angry to death when you open your mouth. You are indeed a woman who knows how to talk!"

Chen Qing: "Thank you for the compliment."

Ma Zhiqiang slammed the table loudly: "Don't think that just because you are a good-looking kid and the son of a hero from the machinery factory, we can't do anything to you. I warn you, when you come to our department, you have to listen to me. I'm not as good-tempered as your Director Liu."

Chen Qing: “Oh.”

Ma Zhiqiang was so angry that he pointed his index finger at Chen Qing's forehead and tapped her in the air: "You should know that it's easy to go from the factory committee to the workshop, but it's extremely difficult to go from the workshop to the factory committee, especially for people like you. It's impossible to go back! You'd better work hard for me. As long as you affect the atmosphere of our steelmaking department, I will definitely not let you go!"

Chen Qing: "Okay."

Ma Zhiqiang kept gasping for breath.

Ever since the factory leaders sent Chen Qing to the steelmaking department, he knew that he would be bullied.

Originally, he wanted to give Chen Qing a warning, hoping that this troublemaker would behave himself, but he ended up holding his chest, and was so angry that he couldn't breathe evenly.

Chen Qing: "Are you going to die?"

Ma Zhiqiang: “!!!”

“You you you…you you you…”

Chen Qing: "It seems not."

The team leaders who came to watch couldn't stand it anymore and asked Director Ma to assign Chen Qing to a department as soon as possible, lest the 50-year-old Director Ma be really angry to death.

Ma Zhiqiang quickly said, "Go to the scrap metal group, Lao Zhang, take him away!"

Team leader Zhang came out. He was a tall, thin old man. "Comrade Chen, come with me."

Chen Qing nodded, and when she was about to leave the office door, she turned to everyone and said, "Don't mess with me. After all, it's not against the law to anger someone to death."

Everyone: “!!!”

She is too arrogant!

Ma Zhiqiang was so angry that he almost fainted.

Team leader Zhang looked at her fearfully and said, "Do whatever you want. I promise I won't take care of you."

Chen Qing smiled gently: "Okay."

She likes sensible leaders.

The scrap steel area is located on the westernmost side of the workshop. It is a semi-open-air area where scrap metals recycled from various places are piled up, including rusted gears, deformed steel plates, broken bearings, etc.

Chen Qing had some knowledge, but some of it was completely unknown to him.

Several workers were using gas cutting guns to break down large pieces of scrap steel. The blue flames made a sharp hissing sound when they hit the metal.

The workers saw her coming.

It was like watching a big star. Many of them had talked about Chen Qing, but when such a beautiful woman stood right in front of them, they didn't know what to say.

Chen Qing found a stool to sit on, pulled it to a shaded area, crossed his legs, and said to Team Leader Zhang, "You guys keep busy, don't worry about me."

Hello, Team Leader Zhang.

The workers were stunned.

no……

Who is the leader here?

One worker couldn't stand it anymore and asked Team Leader Zhang: "Why doesn't she have to work?"

Team leader Zhang sighed heavily: "I am already sixty-two years old. I just want to live longer. Can you understand?"
