Chapter 57: Life is unpredictable, be contented

The night shift is relatively quiet and people tend to fall asleep easily. Perhaps because of this, people who work the night shift will subconsciously seek entertainment. They may gossip about others or accidentally see someone having a secret meeting.

Anyway, no matter whether it is true or not, it’s just for fun.

Dai Qing had not finished eating half a fried chicken she had made that night, so she put it in an aluminum lunch box and brought it to work as a snack. She ate it together with her colleagues from Group 2, and while they ate, they chatted about all the interesting things that had happened recently in the factory.

The older aunt would occasionally say a word or two about the children at home, and on the surface they were still very harmonious.

"Hey, Xiao Dai's meal today is great. He even brought chicken nuggets. Did you make it yourself?"

"Yeah, I'm not a good cook, so I just barely cooked it. Would you like to try a piece?"

"You're welcome. You can also try the grilled eggplant that my wife made for me."

The two of them exchanged dishes and continued chatting.

"Have you heard that there was an old master in Houfang who just retired a month ago. He suddenly fell ill yesterday and died as soon as he was sent to the hospital. It was so pitiful."

"He left just after receiving his pension. Isn't that too mean?"

"Who says it's not true? It's such a pity. After working for a lifetime, he finally waited until retirement, but before he could enjoy his life, he passed away."

"Alas, people like this are destined to be busy and have no time to rest..."

When it comes to this topic, many people feel very sorry. As an employee, the meaning of working hard is to look forward to going to the park to sing and dance, walk the birds, and live a leisurely life after retirement.

"By the way, next week our textile factory will hold a social gathering with railway workers. Have you heard about it?"

"I don't know when it happened."

"You're already married, so it's normal that you don't know. This kind of social gathering is meant to bring unmarried men and women together. We have a lot of female workers in the textile factory and a lot of male workers on the railway, so it's just right."

"It has been held many times in previous years, and unmarried family members are allowed to bring along. For unmarried young men and women, it's best to pair up as much as possible."

"That's right. The salary at our textile factory is not bad. Please ask around for me and let my niece go over to have a look."

Dai Qing ate quietly while listening to people enthusiastically discussing the social gathering. This kind of social gathering is held once or twice a year, under the pretext of caring for employees or something like that.

"Xiao Dai, you should go and have a look later. Although you are still young, it doesn't prevent us from going to broaden our horizons."

"Sister Zhang, Xiao Dai is only 18 years old, it's not too late to attend next year. Those who can attend the social gathering are all over the marriageable age and can't wait."

"That's true. Men are always impatient. We can't afford to suffer losses."

Sister Zhang looked at Dai Qing and sized her up with a smile.

"I didn't realize it before, but our little Dai is really a beauty. Just based on her looks, she doesn't even need to attend social gatherings."

"You just realized that Xiao Dai is the little beauty of our group."

Being praised in front of others, Dai Qing smiled shyly, "How can I be as good as you say? My grandfather always said that I am the dumbest and can't speak."

"Oh, that's nothing. It's better for a young girl to be gentle and graceful."

As we chatted and laughed, the meal time was over and everyone dispersed and returned to their posts.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after finishing her shift, Dai Qing put away her tools and walked out slowly. As soon as she reached the corridor, she heard an angry roar, and the person being yelled at was Cheng Hao.

He is already the head of the security department, who dares to yell at him like that?
