Chapter 115 It's Me Again

When Lin Xiangnan returned to the room, Gu Zhenhua immediately asked, "How is it? Did you coax her?"

"Of course I can coax her. I've never met anyone who is difficult to coax." Lin Xiangnan said confidently.

Gu Zhenhua could not refute this, nor did he dare to refute it.

A while ago, Lin Xiangnan cleaned up the room and threw away some of Gu Zhenhua's torn clothes.

Gu Zhenhua made a lot of noise and Lin Xiangnan tried to coax him a few words, but halfway through, Lin Xiangnan gave up.

"You are too hard to coax. I won't coax you anymore."

Just now she was holding Gu Zhenhua's face and acting coquettishly, and suddenly she said these words, and Gu Zhenhua was stunned.

His emotions were still hanging in the balance.

"Is this how you try to trick people?" Gu Zhenhua was unconvinced.

Lin Xiangnan turned the tables and said, "Who told you to be so hard to appease? Just digest your emotions first. I'll come back later."

After saying that, she went downstairs to get some water to drink.

Only Gu Zhenhua was left upstairs, feeling angry and regretful. He should have gotten down when Lin Xiangnan gave him a way out.

Who knew Lin Xiangnan was such a person? He actually took away the ladder in the middle of his conversation.

After suffering such a loss, Gu Zhenhua became a person who is easy to please.

How could he dare to play the 'difficult to appease' game in front of Lin Xiangnan?

Gu Zhenhua thought his mother-in-law might dare to do it, but Hu Meili couldn't do it either.

"To be honest, our mother is quite spoiled to you." Gu Zhenhua sighed sincerely.

"Who spoils who?" Lin Xiangnan was dissatisfied. "It's obviously me who spoils her. But my mother's temper has indeed improved a lot since she stopped working."

The office smell is gone and everyone becomes more peaceful.

Hu Meili accepted Lin Xiangnan's snow cream, cursed the debt collector in her heart, and put the matter behind her after waking up from a sleep. In the morning, she got up and fried two eggs for Lin Xiangnan.

"Mom, don't buy groceries today. I ordered a pigeon from a fellow villager. I'll pick it up on my way home from get off work."

Hu Meili now also accepted Lin Xiangnan's working hours. She had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, I'll start cooking when you come back. You're a good cook, and it'll be safer with you watching over me." Hu Meili looked calm.

After dinner, Lin Xiangnan carried his small shoulder bag and went to work, while Hu Meili carried her small basket and chatted with other aunts while working.

The group of aunts had been full of doubts for a long time, but they couldn't talk to Lin Xiangnan normally. When Hu Meili came, they started gossiping.

"When I heard my daughter-in-law talk about it, I was shocked. I didn't expect that your Xiao Lin is such a capable person. He didn't even need to take an exam and was directly recruited by Chief Engineer Zhang. He's amazing."

Hu Meili scraped her hair with a needle and said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? My second child has been very smart since she was young. She can learn many things at a glance. It was only last year that our steel mill didn't recruit workers, otherwise she would have passed the exam and joined our factory long ago."

When it comes to bragging, Hu Meili dares not be modest.

The quarrels at home are family matters. Outside, Hu Meili will not ruin Lin Xiangnan's show.

She raised her chin and said proudly, "In the past, these children of mine would have been top-ranking scholars and prime ministers! Did you know that? They are very smart."

Hu Meili's face made people jealous. Someone even said, "She is still a prime minister. Whose prime minister asks for leave every day?"

"This leave was specially approved by the leader." Hu Meili looked distressed. "My child's brain is useful, but it doesn't last long. If she uses it too much, her head will hurt. She doesn't want to take advantage of the government, so she asks for leave to go home and rest because her head hurts and she can't work."

"Oh, your child is really honest. Many people who work in offices just idle away all day long."

"Our Xiaonan is different." Hu Meili said proudly: "I have taught her since she was young that she should be down-to-earth and never do anything sneaky or fish in troubled waters."

"You taught me well."

"That's right. Like me." Hu Meili said shamelessly.

After a while of praising the company, an old lady asked, "Isn't there a recruitment exam for the factory next month? Why don't you go ask Xiao Lin if he has any inside information? If my granddaughter passes the exam, I'll treat you to a meal!"

Hu Meili said without thinking: "Old sister, please don't joke with me. Xiaonan has only been working for two months. How could the boss give her such an important task?"

"That's true."

For those who want to go to the countryside, the factory's routine recruitment examination is the only hope they can see.

After all, other units cannot say for sure whether or not they will recruit this year, or when they will recruit, unlike the technical department where the opportunity is so stable.

When the exam time was approaching, the study room in the factory was packed.

Lin Xiangnan was encountered more often on his way to and from get off work.

"Morning, Mr. Lin."

Lin Xiangnan smiled politely, "Good morning."

Even when I went to the workshop to study, young people would come up to me and talk.

"Teacher Lin, why did you think of our workshop? Is there something wrong with our batch of products?"

"No. Chief Engineer Zhang asked me to come to the workshop when I have nothing to do." Lin Xiangnan explained.

"Teacher Lin, can you help me explain this problem? I have been thinking about it for a week and I still can't figure it out."

The young people on the production line sought help from Lin Xiangnan whenever they had the chance.

If someone is willing to learn, Lin Xiangnan is happy to help them solve their problems when he is not busy.

Because the technical department holds a recruitment exam every year, with this big pie in the sky, the learning atmosphere in their factory is surprisingly good, especially in May and June.

Lin Xiangnan wanted to go to the reference room to find a book to read, but he couldn't borrow the one he wanted.

Lin Xiangnan didn’t take it to heart when she didn’t find the book she wanted, as there were other materials in the office for her to study.

But she just mentioned it briefly, and the next day Wang Shuhua delivered the book to her office.

"My grandfather said that Teacher Lin, you wanted to borrow this book. Someone returned it today, so my grandfather asked me to bring it to you."

Lin Xiangnan was happy. "I guessed that this book would be returned soon. The knowledge points in it are too profound, and most high school students can't understand it."

Wang Shuhua was also very tactful. She delivered the books and left without staying in the office for long.

Seeing this, Sun Yi couldn't help but laugh and joked, "Uncle Wang is very cunning. He also tried to get close to me in a roundabout way last year and asked about the exam questions. He used the same trick again this year. The only difference is that he came after me last year, and this year he came after Xiao Lin."

When he said this, everyone else in the office laughed.

"It is said that Uncle Wang has the sharpest eyes. He must have seen that you, Sun Yi, have fallen out of favor. Now it is our Xiao Lin who is loved and respected by the leader."

"Falling out of favor? Not at all! I was scolded yesterday." Sun Yi smiled slightly, "Old Qian, just wait. At the latest tomorrow, you will be favored by Chief Engineer Zhang. No one can escape. Chief Engineer Zhang must have been scolded by Director Jin again recently..."

Chief Engineer Zhang, who was passing by their office, vaguely heard his name, turned his foot, walked in, and asked suspiciously, "Are you saying bad things about me behind my back?"

The laughter in the office stopped abruptly.

Sun Yi said seriously, "Nothing."

Chief Engineer Zhang looked at Sun Yi suspiciously, then glanced at Lin Xiangnan, who was rubbing his eyebrows and looked very uncomfortable.

"Sun Yi, this time our department's recruitment exam is handed over to you. You can handle it yourself."

Sun Yi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Why is it me again?"

Lin Xiangnan lowered his head, with the corners of his mouth secretly rising.
