Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Heading South

Xia Li's personality is actually very free and easy.

Although she was concerned about Zhao Qingqing's situation, she also understood that it depended on timing, not just her ability to seize the opportunity. She certainly couldn't let this matter affect her normal work.

You have to know that Miss Chen in the workshop is everywhere, waiting to catch her by the hair.

It can be said that the two people have conflicts all the time and in everything.

Fang Dechuan, her immediate superior, saw what was happening, but as long as Xia Li and Miss Chen didn't interfere with the work, he wouldn't interfere. That morning, when Fang Dechuan called the other team leaders to a meeting, Xia Li wasn't worried about being sued, because nothing about what happened yesterday was out of the ordinary. As for Miss Chen's threats against her, claiming they would harm the factory's interests, that was sheer nonsense.

Fang Dechuan discussed other matters during the meeting. He said that everyone knew that the factory had recruited a new group of people yesterday. After these people's procedures were completed and they were trained, they would be assigned to their teams. He hoped that they, as team leaders, could manage the team well and improve production efficiency.

He then went on to say that the factory director and other leaders also had the idea of ​​expanding the factory. By then, another workshop would be built, and the new workshop director would be selected from among them, so that everyone could make good progress.

When talking about these things, Fang Dechuan spoke very eloquently, as if the position of workshop director was also given to him, and described it in many good ways.

As Fang Dechuan spoke, the team leaders erupted in excitement, all appearing delighted. Xia Li smiled broadly, but inwardly she was cursing him. Fang Dechuan always used the same rhetoric to give them hope. This time, he'd gone a step further, switching up his rhetoric. She inadvertently exchanged glances with Miss Chen, their eyes meeting before looking away.

She was sure that Miss Chen must be speechless at the moment. After all, some words are okay to hear once or twice, but if you hear them too many times, you will start to wonder whether the person is a fool or treats them as fools.

After the meeting, Xia Li returned to her workstation. She wanted to pick up her notebook to record today's situation, but when she glanced at it, she found that one seat was vacant.

She put down the notebook in her hand, walked over to the seat, and asked the others, "Is this seat Wang Fang's? She was there during roll call this morning. Where is she now? Did she go to the restroom?"

Facing Xia Li's questioning, the other girls sat in their seats, looking at each other. A girl sitting next to Wang Fang whispered to Xia Li, "Team Leader, Wang Fang said she has something to do and has already asked Director Fang for leave."

Asking for leave from Fang Dechuan? Wang Fang?

This girl has been acting so abnormal lately.

Charlie looked at the others and didn't want to spend any more time on this. "Okay, I got it. When she comes back, tell her to come find me."

The others nodded and said yes. Charlie also continued with her work.

Afterwards, Wang Fang did indeed come to see Xia Li as she was told. She explained that Xia Li was not there at the time because of an emergency, so she went to Director Fang to ask for leave.

Xia Li thought she had learned something new. It was truly remarkable that someone could talk nonsense right in front of her. She thought, "When Fang Dechuan is here, I'm here. When he's not, I'm here too. You can find him, but you can't find me." Then, looking at the girl's completely changed demeanor, she realized she was out of control.

Love whoever you want.

Nodding, accepting this, Charlie let her go.

The days passed, and soon the new workers began their factory training. They hadn't yet been assigned to a team, but one day, when they saw Xia Li, they came over to thank her.

Xia Li noticed that they all looked very energetic and excited to have just arrived. Several people said that they had all moved into the same dormitory and had moved their belongings in. They called their families, who were very happy to hear the news and even asked Xia Li to come back with them for the New Year to express their gratitude.

Charlie smiled and said let’s talk about it later.

Finally, a few people talked about Zhao Qingqing again, saying that Zhao Qingqing had found a job in a restaurant and was working there first, waiting to talk about it later.

"Sister Qingqing said that although she wasn't very satisfied with the place, it provided food and accommodation. It's impossible for anyone to spend money to stay there for so long, so she thought she'd just settle down there first."

Charlie listened and nodded, thinking it was a transitional solution. Doing anything was better than doing nothing.

"Do you know what the other girl was planning and what the situation was like at that time?" Charlie asked.

When this issue was brought up, the girls surrounding Charlie became angry and indignant, describing the whole story as if they had experienced it themselves.

Xia Li listened to their chatter and finally understood. It turned out that there were really people who could be so stupid and bad. How could such a thing that harmed others and did not benefit oneself really happen?

Is there anyone in their right mind who would do that?

"So what is Li Jia doing now?" Xia Li asked after she understood what was going on.

"What else can I do? She's still following Sister Qingqing. If I were Sister Qingqing, I'd ignore her. But she's really timid and useless. We can't go out often in the factory recently. If Sister Qingqing doesn't care about her, I really don't know what to do."

"I think she should just buy a ticket and go back." Another girl said.

"Forget it. I heard her talking to her family on the phone. Her parents were afraid she'd get kidnapped on the road, so they wouldn't let her go alone."

Forget it, I still can’t get rid of it at all.

This girl is really... Zhao Qingqing probably doesn't get to know her much. It's not obvious at ordinary times, but once something happens, this kind of person's character is exposed, which only makes things worse.

The parent open day at the kindergarten that I agreed with my aunt is coming soon.

It was Saturday, and like Charlie's family, other families who needed to enroll their children also gathered at the kindergarten gate at the designated time on that day.

Xia Li was wearing a brand new outfit today, a light blue dress of excellent quality. In order to save face for Jiang Zai, she also changed into a pair of exquisite high heels.

At that time, her aunt said that she was making a fuss and it was not necessary to be like this. Charlie had to persuade her to go back and change her clothes.

As for Jiangzai, Xia Li took out the children's shirt and matching overalls she had bought specially for him. "Come on, come on, let's get another tie for Jiangzai. Wow, it's really pretty! Don't you think so, Auntie?"

Xia Pingzhi walked out of her room, took a look, and immediately praised, "Really good! Jiang Zai dressed like this, I'm afraid he'll outshine all the kids in the alley."

Jiang Zai felt embarrassed by the praise and his eyes sparkled.

Charlie said matter-of-factly, "Of course not."

When it came time to put on his shoes, Jiangzai turned into a stubborn child, and Charlie felt that he was not as cute as before.

She advised: "Your shoes are very hot now. You should wear them when the weather is cooler. They won't slip."

Jiang Zai didn't listen to her and just stared at the pair of shoes he had just taken out on the ground without moving.

Damn, how come this little brat has such a good memory? It’s been such a long time, how come he still remembers this pair of shoes?

She was wearing high heels and struggled to gather her skirt. She squatted down and was at eye level with Jiang Zai. "Can you wear some other breathable shoes this time?" Seeing that the child still shook his head, Xia Li took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Jiangzai, don't regret it. As a mother, she won't spoil her child in everything.

When you feel uncomfortable, you will know how serious it is, hum.

"Aunt, there are quite a lot of people here today. If you don't dress decently, it will be really inappropriate today." Xia Li stared at the direction of the kindergarten entrance, but tilted her head towards her aunt's ear.

It may be that the tuition fees of this kindergarten are indeed very high, so some parents who come here seem to have well-off families, and the clothes and accessories they wear look very expensive.

Xia Li had only one thought in her mind: she felt that the kindergarten these families were investigating must be really good.

After all, after taking the child home, I really want to give him a good start within my ability.

As promised, the kindergarten opened at nine o'clock. A very kind-looking female principal emerged, saying a few words, essentially apologizing for the wait, and then inviting all parents and children inside.

Once inside, the parents, led by the principal, visited various areas of the kindergarten, including classrooms and other activity areas, the library, game area, and sports area.

What surprised Xia Li was that this kindergarten was equipped with a special handicraft skills classroom where children could make pottery and cook simple food. There was also a large performance hall with photos of previous children's performances hanging in the corridor outside the hall.

Parents stopped in front of these photos and looked at them carefully, as if they saw their own children performing after entering kindergarten.

It has to be said that Chinese parents have a lot in common. They all like to see their children have talents that they can show off. When the time comes, they can show them off in front of relatives and friends during festivals, which can greatly satisfy the parents' vanity.

When the time comes, I will see that going to this kindergarten was not in vain and the money was well spent.

The children's experience is separate from that of their parents; it is completely immersive; they are the students of this kindergarten today.

The teachers combine education with entertainment in the classroom, and the foreign teachers also know how to communicate with children of this age group. After the initial curiosity, the children began to read English under the guidance of the enthusiastic foreign teachers.

The parents happened to pass by the classroom and looked out the window with great relief.

Of course, the principal of the kindergarten said that nowadays people emphasize all-round development, and children’s sports should also be taken seriously. The grass in their kindergarten allows children to play football, play games, and have fun without restraint.

Parents stood in the small square and saw their children learning to play football under the guidance of the teacher and running on the grass, with bright smiles on their faces.

After the event, the children had a lunch experience. This was something the parents hadn't experienced. Xia Li, her aunt, and other parents toured the kindergarten kitchen, nodding their approval at the cleanliness. Then, they saw the children's plates, which showed a rich variety of food, with a healthy mix of meat and vegetables. As for the taste, the parents didn't know, but seeing their picky children at home so intently eating at the small dining table, they knew it was going to be good.

After dinner, Xia Pingzhi asked Jiang Zai what he thought of the kindergarten.

Jiang Zai nodded without any hesitation.

He loves it here. The kids and teachers are all very nice, and there are a lot of fun things to do. "Can I eat here every day?"

Xia Li laughed and asked him, "Does Jiangzai like the food here more? Doesn't Jiangzai like the food that my aunt cooks?"

Charlie is really not a good mother. She asked her son such a difficult question.

But Jiang Zai unexpectedly answered: "I like them all. I like the ones made by my aunt, and I also like the ones here."

Charlie was surprised to hear this, and thought that the child was quite smart, as he gave such good answers to the questions.

Xia Pingzhi patted Xia Li lightly and said, "Don't make things difficult for our Jiangzai. Children always find eating out fresh food fresh. Wasn't it the same when you were a child?" After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and asked for Jiangzai's opinion. "Then how about our Jiangzai come to kindergarten here in the future?"

"Okay." Jiang Zai nodded happily.

The two adults couldn't help but smile when they saw the child was happy. Finally, a matter was resolved.

The mother and son were beaming with joy, while on a road thousands of miles away, a truck loaded with cargo was driving non-stop.

The young man in the driver's seat had a serious expression on his face, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. Even the passenger in the passenger seat, snoring loudly, didn't faze him.

The co-pilot had been sleeping for a long time. Suddenly, there was a bump and the car shook. Although the two people in the driver's seat were wearing seat belts, they were also shaken.

The co-pilot woke up drowsily, first glanced at the man in the driver's seat, then glanced out the window, and then asked in a sleepy voice, "Brother, where are we? I wonder how long it will take to get to Guangcheng?"
