"Hello, Captain Wu. My name is Xiang Changlin. I'm here to report today."
Xiang Changlin took the initiative to introduce himself. Captain Wu was very satisfied when he saw that the young man was tall and handsome. He thought it would be even better if he could study hard and get the hang of it quickly.
Captain Wu nodded with a smile, "Hello, Comrade Xiao Xiang, welcome to join our transport team. Xiao Zhou strongly recommended you to me, saying that you have integrity and strong abilities. You must study hard in the transport team and strive to become a master as soon as possible!"
Xiang Changlin curled his lips and said modestly, "I will. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will study hard and perform well to live up to the team's cultivation."
"Hahaha, great! I'm glad you're aware of this. I'll arrange for someone to take you to go through the onboarding procedures and familiarize you with the environment. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Captain Wu walked out the door and called to the passers-by, "Xiao Lu, please help me call Lao Xu over."
"Okay, Captain Wu."
After a few minutes Xu Yingda walked in.
"Captain Wu, you're looking for me."
"Old Xu, come here, let me introduce you to this new comrade, Xiang Changlin. I'll assign him to your team three, so you should take good care of him.
Xiao Xiang, this is Team 3 Captain Xu Yingda. You will be studying with Team 3 for the time being."
After Captain Wu finished introducing the two, Xiang Changlin took the initiative to step forward and greeted them, "Hello, Captain Xu, I am Xiang Changlin, please give me your guidance."
Xu Yingda had a good first impression of Xiang Changlin and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Welcome to join our team three!"
"Old Xu, take Xiao Xiang to go through the employment formalities first. He will officially start work today."
"Okay, come with me."
Xu Yingda nodded and shouted to Changlin to go out.
"Zhou Ming, I'll go first."
Zhou Ming nodded, "Okay, you go first, I'll go back to the guesthouse later, see you next time."
"See you next time."
Xu Yingda led Xiang Changlin out of the office. Captain Wu looked at Zhou Ming and asked, "When are you going back?"
"I left at noon."
"Well, go back and give your uncle some good advice for me."
"Okay, I promise to bring it to you!"
Xiang Changlin followed Xu Yingda to handle the entry procedures first, and then he was taken to the dormitory. The dormitory of the transport team was also a tiled house with large bunk beds, and four people slept in one room.
"There are already three people staying in this room, and with you in it, it's just enough for us. They are all from our three teams. I'll take you to meet them later."
"good."
"Put your things here first. You can eat in the cafeteria at noon. I'll take you to meet your colleagues first. You can have lunch together at noon and get to know each other better."
"Well, I'm sorry, Captain. I've already agreed with my girlfriend that I'll go see her at noon and have lunch with everyone in the afternoon, is that ok?"
Xiang Changlin felt very embarrassed because he refused the leader as soon as he opened his mouth. However, he had already made an appointment with his wife and he couldn't break the promise.
Xu Yingda laughed and said, "It's okay. Then go and accompany your partner first. Which unit does your partner work in?"
"She works as a waitress at the County Party Committee Guesthouse."
"That's a good job. Are you married?"
"We got the marriage certificate a few days ago, and we'll have the wedding in a week. Captain, can I take two days off then?"
Xu Yingda nodded, "Of course, marriage is a big happy event, we all have wedding leave, three days, you also have it since you are new here."
Xiang Changlin felt relieved when he heard him say that. "That's good. Thank you."
"It's okay, let's go, I'll take him to identify the person first."
"good."
The transport team was divided into three teams, each team usually had five to six people including the team leader. Because of Xiang Changlin's arrival, the three teams now had a total of six people.
Xu Yingda took him to the office of the third team. There were three people sitting in the room. When they saw them come in, they all looked at them.
Xu Yingda smiled and clapped his hands, introducing them, "Let me introduce to you all, this is our new comrade, Xiang Changlin, welcome him with applause!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them hurriedly applauded to welcome them, and Xiang Changlin also greeted them.
"This is Wang Yang, this is Zhen Yuan, and this is Ma Guoqiang, you can just call him Qiangzi. Two others have gone out in a car and will be back this afternoon. I will introduce them to you then.
It's just a coincidence that these three live in the same room with you. You two can get to know each other first."
He nodded to Changlin, "Okay, Captain."
"Wang Yang, I have something else to do. You guys take Chang Lin to get familiar with the work environment first. Don't bully the new comrades!"
Wang Yang smiled and said, "Captain, when have we ever bullied a colleague? Don't worry."
"that is."
The other two followed suit.
Xu Yingda nodded at them with a smile, "That would be great."
After Xu Yingda left, the three of them surrounded Xiang Changlin. Xiang Changlin looked at them with curious eyes, somewhat confused.
"Xiang Changlin, right?"
Nodded to Changlin.
Ma Guoqiang smiled warmly, "Don't be nervous. We will be brothers fighting side by side from now on. We are also in the same dormitory. You are new here, so if you don't understand anything, just ask us. We will help you wherever we can."
Xiang Changlin acted very modestly, "Thank you, I'll have to trouble you to teach me more in the future, I don't know anything now."
"Okay, okay, let's have lunch together after get off work. The braised eggplant cooked by Chef Lu in our company cafeteria is so delicious!"
Hearing that they also invited him to have dinner together, Xiang Changlin refused with some embarrassment, "I'm sorry, how about this afternoon? I promised my girlfriend that I would go to see her at noon."
Zhen Yuan asked curiously, "What does your partner do?"
"Working as a waiter at the County Party Committee Guesthouse."
"Really? My cousin is also a waitress there. Her name is Xu Xiaomei. Do you know her?"
Xiang Changlin smiled. He didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. "Yes, she takes my boyfriend to work. We are getting along very well now."
"Oh, that's quite a coincidence."
Because of this relationship, Zhen Yuan felt much closer to Xiang Changlin, the new colleague. People are like this, once two strangers have a common acquaintance, they can quickly become familiar with each other.
“I didn’t expect that.”
"Then go find your partner at noon, and we'll get together again in the afternoon."
"good."
Xiang Changlin spent the whole morning in the team with the three of them, getting familiar with the environment, understanding their daily work, and listening to them share their experiences. He gained a lot, and it made him like this job even more.
After work at noon, he said hello to everyone and went directly to the guesthouse to find Ye Qing. It took the transport team half an hour to walk to the guesthouse, and Xiang Changlin only took half the time if he ran.
