Chapter 126: Be Soft but Not Hard

Jin Baoguang was furious and gnashed his teeth, "Don't talk nonsense there. Who cried? It's just alarmist."

"Oh~~~I didn't cry~"

Lin Xiangnan thought of how he was scolded by the old man before, and he couldn't help his urge to be a jerk. He said slowly: "But your eyes are red."

"I'm so angry at you that my eyes are red. You are all such losers. I give you a lot of food and sugar coupons every month, right? Do you think you can live up to the organization, the people, and the country by producing this result?"

"Especially you, Lin Xiangnan. You are the most outrageous."

After cursing, Jin Baoguang straightened his chest with high morale, stood up and walked away in a cool manner.

It was as if the person who just cried was not him.

After being scolded before, Lin Xiangnan had to say a few words back.

Even if she didn't respond verbally, she would still curse him in her heart.

But now that Lin Xiangnan was scolded, she was inexplicably no longer angry. After Jin Baoguang left, she even laughed out loud.

"Is this just bravado?"

The experiment had failed and everyone was in a bad mood, but when Lin Xiangnan watched this crying scene, the pressure in his heart was immediately released, and he was still smiling when he returned to the office.

Jin Baoguang glanced at her and then looked away, pretending not to notice the annoying expression on Lin Xiangnan's face.

He said with a straight face, "In half an hour, we will hold a summary meeting in the conference room."

"Okay." Lin Xiangnan agreed happily.

Jin Baoguang gritted his teeth secretly, "Xiao Lin, you don't have to go. You should get off work."

Lin Xiangnan was flattered by this attitude.

But Lin Xiangnan did not take the opportunity to leave, but said: "No need. This will be more important, I should participate."

Chief Engineer Zhang and Jin Baoguang work so hard, but it's not for themselves.

Although Lin Xiangnan could not make the same sacrifices and dedication as them, he was willing to do more.

Who told her to see Jin Baoguang secretly crying today, which gave her a little shock?

Lin Xiangnan felt that this old man had a hard time and there was no need to argue with him on everything, lest the old man turn around and secretly wipe away his tears.

Although she meant well, Jin Baoguang couldn't help but look at her suspiciously, feeling that she was up to something bad.

"You don't have to go." Jin Baoguang reiterated.

"You better go, lest you ..."

"Hey!" Fearing that Lin Xiangnan would say something treacherous, Jin Baoguang interrupted immediately, "If you want to go, just go. Stop talking nonsense."

Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but smile secretly. This old man Jin seemed to care a lot about his own image.

The meeting lasted a bit long, but Lin Xiangnan did not leave early. Instead, he listened to the whole meeting honestly, took on a new task, and worked for nearly an hour before leaving get off work and going home.

When she returned home, she saw that Gu Zhenhua's face was red and swollen.

"Wife, I got you another jar of honey."

"Who told you to go get the honey?" Lin Xiangnan felt distressed. "It's not worth it to get stung for a jar of honey."

"You were stung a few days ago, so I wanted to avenge you."

Honey is secondary, revenge is the most important.

Gu Zhenhua slapped his thigh and cursed, "That damn Lao Wang had to meddle in this matter. He caused a few of us to get stung and got scolded by the leader."

"Then I'll apply the medicine for you." Lin Xiangnan had no choice but to rummage through the cupboard to find the remaining medicine she had used last time.

Gu Zhenhua didn't want to smear the sticky stuff on his face, so he turned his face away.

"No need. Lao Wang and I have consulted the nurse. It's not serious. No need to apply medicine. It will heal on its own."

"No. You have to wipe it, so it will heal faster." Lin Xiangnan held Gu Zhenhua down.

Gu Zhenhua did not dare to struggle. He could only raise his face and let Lin Xiangnan apply the medicine, muttering, "This time, both my husband and I have made enemies with that little bee. If I see a beehive again, I will take it out. I will not be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

"Then can we eat fried bee pupae tonight?" Lin Xiangnan suggested.

"The bee pupae were taken away by Captain Niu. What I want is the honey. Eating this can be considered revenge."

The beehive-clearing operation was a complete failure. When Lin Xiangnan went out these two days, he saw several people like Gu Zhenhua, with red and swollen faces, obviously stung by bees.

When Luo Caixia and Lin Xiangnan were chatting, she said thankfully: "Fortunately, the medicine prescribed by the hospital is good. In two days, Lao Wang's face is no longer swollen. He was in a bad mood at home these two days."

Because of the wound on his face, Lao Wang has been feeling a little embarrassed these past two days.

"Medicine prescribed by the hospital?" Lin Xiangnan paused while flipping through the book and said, "My family member said that the hospital didn't prescribe any medicine for them. They just told them to go home and wash with soapy water."

Luo Caixia thought for two seconds and said, "Old Wang is a man who cares about his reputation. Maybe Old Wang went back to ask someone to prescribe the medicine himself."

"It is possible." After Lin Xiangnan said this, he lowered his head and continued reading.

What she read at home these two days were not miscellaneous books, but serious books on engineering mechanics and materials.

After seeing Sun Yi working overtime despite being sick, and old man Jin Baoguang crying secretly because he couldn't complete his task, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but want to help more.

Although she had this idea, she would not put too much pressure on herself. When she got tired of reading, she would get up and leisurely arrange her vases and play with the cat at Auntie Hua's house...

The harder he worked, the more he realized that his brain was really useful. The more knowledge he absorbed, the faster he worked.

Lin Xiangnan was just a little more motivated than before, but Jin Baoguang was particularly surprised.

He finally realized that Lin Xiangnan would respond to soft words but not hard ones. It was useless to scold him, he had to be coaxed.

Lin Xiangnan used to be like a nitpicker. If you asked her to do something, she would always find an excuse.

But because he was discovered crying, Jin Baoguang could no longer be tough with Lin Xiangnan, and Lin Xiangnan became more cooperative with his work.

"Xiao Lin, you have really worked hard during this period..."

Jin Baoguang used the most gentle voice in his life, but was completely rejected by Lin Xiangnan.

She shook off the goose bumps on her body and said simply, "What's our relationship? Just tell me if you have anything to ask. Why are you being so polite?"

Jin Baoguang choked for a moment, and quickly said, "Old Qian has a set of data, which came out a little late. I want you to help analyze the results."

"I was just being polite to you, why did you take it so seriously?"

"Xiao Lin, Old Qian has been going crazy these days..."

Lin Xiangnan looked at his watch helplessly and asked, "How late will the results come out? I can only work until 6pm today. No more than that. You know, I never work overtime with Yueyue."

Jin Baoguang was used to Lin Xiangnan leaving work early, so it was rare that he was willing to leave work at a normal time, and he was flattered.

"That's enough. This is just the right time." Jin Baoguang suppressed his nausea and praised gently, "Xiao Lin, you are such a good comrade."

"Huh~" Lin Xiangnan's expression is hard to describe.
