Chapter 58: Take a look at the small factory at home

Qin Yuezhi hesitated: "But, the wages for such helpers are probably not low."

Zhou Nuan understood her concerns. It was easy to find a nanny, but it was hard to find a good one. When she was in the modern world, her brother had changed many nannies after he had a child, and even spent a lot of money to find a good one.

Although I don’t know how much nannies are paid here, it shouldn’t be much lower if they meet the requirements.

"money.."

"Don't worry about the money." Gu Xiyue suddenly stood up, "Zhou Nuan, do you want to come with us?"

Zhou Nuan was confused, "Where are we going?"

"Go check out the small factory at home."

————

The jeep sped along the road in Haicheng. Zhou Nuan sat in the car, looking at the buildings speeding by outside, her head feeling a little dizzy.

Didn't she want to go back and catch up on her sleep? Why did she get in the car?

He Tao glanced at the rearview mirror. It was a hot day, but the little sister-in-law was dressed very tightly, not even her neck was exposed. Although Brother Yue looked serious on the surface, his eyes were always on her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be hidden.

Who would believe that nothing happened between these two people?

"Brother Yue seems to be in a good mood today and looks refreshed. Sister-in-law doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. Did she have a nightmare last night..." he teased.

Gu Xiyue half raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and successfully blocked the rest of his words in his throat.

He Tao didn't dare to joke with him anymore and closed his mouth tightly.

He is clearly a doting husband who can't stand hearing anyone say anything and won't admit it.

Without He Tao's chatterbox, the car fell silent. Beside her was the familiar, soothing scent of a man. Zhou Nuan felt sleepy and nodded her head, unable to resist the drowsiness.

A big hand reached out and gently embraced her head, and her head rested on a strong shoulder.

"Go to sleep." A man's clear voice came into my ears.

She couldn't resist the sleepiness and let herself fall into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, the car had stopped. She was a little confused about what day it was. She reached out in a daze and felt a very familiar hand.

She thought she was in her big villa, calling out vaguely, "Third Brother..."

The muscle lines of that arm suddenly became stiff, and the bulging muscles seemed to feel threatened, emitting a dangerous aura.

Zhou Nuan suddenly woke up and looked back to find that she was holding Gu Xiyue's arm and her head was leaning on his body. That would have been fine, but the key point was that she had shed tears on his clothes, and the suspicious marks were particularly eye-catching.

Zhou Nuan: ...

She quickly sat up straight and wiped the corners of her mouth with her hand.

Fortunately, He Tao was not there, otherwise she would have been greatly embarrassed.

Shamelessly, as if nothing had happened, she asked, "Are we there? Where's He Tao?"

"..He went down first." Gu Xiyue replied in a cold voice.

She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the man seemed to be a little depressed.

When I looked up, he looked normal, nothing unusual.

She must have been overthinking it.

Just as she was thinking about it, Gu Xiyue opened the car door, stepped out of the car with his long legs, and turned back to say to her, "We're here."

Zhou Nuan quickly packed herself up and got out of the car.

As soon as I got off the car, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. This was a warehouse on the edge of the city that was converted into a factory. The area was quite large, but the building was a bit old.

Just based on the area, it is not the small factory that Gu Xiyue mentioned.

There was a short queue in front of the factory gate. Female workers in simple clothes were waiting in line. He Tao was standing at the front of the queue and talking to a manager-like man. The man was holding a triangle ruler in his hand and pointing it at the female workers' heads. No one knew what he was doing.

Sensing the movement, He Tao looked over and waved to Gu Xiyue, "Brother Yue!" and came towards him.

The man who looked like a manager also stopped what he was doing and turned to signal Gu Xiyue.

Gu Xiyue nodded slightly and said to Zhou Nuan, "Let's go."

Zhou Nuan trotted after them and asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

"I'm measuring the height of the workers."

Zhou Nuan was puzzled, "Why measure height?"

"If you are not tall enough, you cannot be recruited into the factory."

Is there such a saying?

Zhou Nuan found it incredible. Although she had never worked in a factory due to family reasons, when she was in college, some of her classmates came from ordinary families and their parents were factory workers. From what she knew, apart from being too old, academic qualifications and height were not among the requirements.

Even so, we may not be able to recruit people. Nowadays, few young people are willing to do such boring assembly line work. It will be fine as long as you are a normal person. Don't be so picky like here.

"Why can't we recruit people if we're not tall enough?"

These girls look young and strong, and they can obviously endure hardships. Is there some special requirement?

He Tao came up at this time and said, "Because ours is a garment factory, we are recruiting female textile workers. How can you get the job if you are not tall enough?"

It turned out that Gu Xiyue ran a clothing factory. This was the first time she heard about it.

Zhou Nuan glanced at Gu Xiyue and couldn't imagine the cold and self-disciplined Chief Gu working among the pile of clothes.

He Tao added, "Besides, Brother Yue offers a high salary and can teach them step by step. They are eager to get in."

Zhou Nuan looked at the girls standing in line. They were very young but from their clothes and appearance, it was obvious that they came from poor families. They came to Haicheng from all over the place in the hope of making money. In that era, being able to work in a factory was already very good. No wonder these girls looked expectant.

He Tao asked again, "Sister-in-law, can you use a sewing machine?"

Zhou Nuan came back to her senses, "I can't."

He Tao was a little disappointed. "Oh, I thought... if you know how to do it, you might be able to teach the new female workers. The factory is just starting out and there is a shortage of experienced workers."

Zhou Nuan smiled awkwardly. Her hands could only draw pictures, and she had never been in the kitchen. But although she couldn't cook, she could entertain guests, so she wasn't completely useless.

Gu Xiyue suddenly said, "The clothes designed by your sister-in-law are very beautiful."

Forehead?

Zhou Nuan looked up, but Gu Xiyue had already turned away and started talking to He Tao about other topics, "Has anyone from Huashun been here?"

"No, but his daughter came here twice. When she heard that you were not here, she turned around and left without giving us a chance to speak."

Gu Xiyue frowned, and a spoiled face appeared in his mind, and his brows suddenly tightened.

I heard that the eldest daughter of the Ji family had just returned from abroad, was full of foreign knowledge, and looked down on people like them. He and her had only met briefly once, so why did she look for him again and again?

No matter what she wanted to do, he, as a husband and a father, really didn't want to have anything to do with a grown lady.

"Next time she comes, ask her. If it has nothing to do with work, don't notify me. I don't have that much time to deal with an outsider."
