Chapter 67 The Light of Gossip

He said that there was no benefit in attending such a meaningless social gathering. What kind of words are these? He, a good young man, was being shunned.

I wonder what Uncle Sun’s expression would be when he heard this news?

Cheng Hao calmed down, walked slowly to the window, looked at the bustling scene of people coming and going in the factory, and wondered what was going on in his mind.

Until the phone rang.

"Hey, Brother Hao, I've already made an appointment with Brother Hui for a VIP dinner on the third floor of our newly opened hotel the day after tomorrow. Can you also invite Sister Dai Qing?"

"good,"

Cheng Hao put down the phone, hesitated for a moment, and went straight downstairs to the workshop.

The noisy sound of machines filled his ears and the air was filled with dust. Looking at the workers wearing masks, Cheng Hao walked all the way to Dai Qing's post.

I watched her carry the cotton roll in both hands and put it into the machine, then go around to the front of the machine to replace the tampon barrel, all in one go.

The carding machine is the process of combing cotton rolls into slivers. It is known as the little tiger and is one of the most cumbersome machines. It is also very labor-intensive.

I didn't expect that the little charlatan would be assigned to this position.

Seeing her working hard to roll the cotton, she was busy like a top. Cheng Hao stood beside her and did not disturb her.

But he, a member of the security department, suddenly appeared in the workshop and immediately attracted the attention of others.

The person who had just been discussed suddenly appeared in front of them, and gossip immediately began to flash in everyone's eyes.

Some people were looking around, some were whispering to each other, but seeing that he had a sullen face, no one dared to come forward and ask anything.

In response to the crowd's visits, Cheng Hao kept his lips pursed, his face cold, and his eyes not looking away.

A round of cotton rolls was unrolled. Dai Qing was just about to clean it with a brush when she saw Cheng Hao next to his post. She walked straight over and raised her voice slightly.

"Why are you here? Did you come to see me on purpose?"

Cheng Hao nodded and said, "Pingzi's thank-you banquet will be held the day after tomorrow. Let me help you treat you."

"Oh, they have already expressed their gratitude. I appreciate the kindness. I will not go to your comrades' gathering. Please thank him for me."

Dai Qing thought about it and refused directly. The three of them were comrades-in-arms and she was the only little girl. She couldn't drink, so there was no point in just sitting there.

"I'm just a messenger. If you don't want to go, tell Pingzi in person." Cheng Hao looked into her eyes, moved a little closer, and spoke in a low voice.

"But I have the second shift the day after tomorrow, so I don't have time in the evening." Dai Qing calculated and shook her head to refuse.

"It doesn't matter. I'll ask him to change it to the night after tomorrow. You just happen to be on night shift, and you can rest for a few hours after dinner." Cheng Hao thought for a moment and spoke directly.

Dai Qing: “…”

Didn't you say you were just passing on the message? Why did you make the decision?

"I'll take that as your consent."

Cheng Hao looked at her and turned away.

Dai Qing held the brush in her hand and watched the people walk away before returning to her post. Just as she was cleaning the gear in front of her with the iron brush, Sister Ou from the neighboring post came over.

"Xiao Dai, do you know Section Chief Cheng?"

"We don't live far from each other, and I happened to help him a little before." Dai Qing looked at Sister Ou's gossipy eyes and explained in a nonchalant manner.

"So that's how it is. You know what, Section Chief Cheng is really handsome. If he wasn't physically defective, there would be a lot of women flocking to him."

Sister Ou said, her eyes twinkling.

"Although Xiao Dai is young, he can still make friends. Since he is familiar with Section Chief Cheng, have you ever thought about developing a relationship with him?"
