Chapter 47 Sister Ling saved me
Huang Ling did not discuss it with him and said she would wait until she got off work tomorrow.
The children have already gone on vacation, and Zhuang Chaoying has also gone on vacation. He is carving papers at home to earn some supplementary income.
When he got off work, he saw Lin Wufeng pushing his bicycle out.
"Mr. Lin, where are you going at this hour?"
"I'll go pick up Song Ying. She twisted her ankle and I'm afraid she can't walk." Lin Wufeng replied.
"Oh." Zhuang Chaoying thought for a moment and followed him out. "Then I'll go pick up A Ling too."
After giving some instructions to Tuanan, Zhuang Chaoying pushed his bicycle to pick up Huang Ling.
The two of them stood together at the factory gate waiting.
"Teacher Zhuang." Zhou Huaiyi recognized Zhuang Chaoying and walked over.
"Director Zhou, why are you working here with your lover?"
"Oh, no, my sister was transferred here to work in the factory office. Today is her first day at work, and I was worried, so I came to check on her."
"The factory is doing well! Then I'll have some work interactions with our A-Ling! A-Ling works in the office of Workshop 7."
"Oh, yes, I asked Comrade Huang to look after my sister yesterday." Zhou Huaiyi replied.
Zhuang Chaoying was a little surprised: "You met yesterday"
"oh......"
Zhou Huaiyi was about to say he wanted to pay back the money, but then he thought better of it. It would be too complicated to talk about paying back the money, and he couldn't talk about it at the factory gate, so he changed the subject and said:
"I sent my sister here to get acquainted with the place, and I happened to run into Comrade Huang."
Zhuang Chaoying pushed his glasses and introduced the two people:
"Oh, I see. Mr. Lin, this is Director Zhou from the machinery factory. Director Zhou, this is Mr. Lin from the compressor factory, our neighbor who lives in the same courtyard with us. His wife also works at the cotton mill."
Zhou Huaiyi politely shook hands with Lin Wufeng:
"Hello, Mr. Lin, the compressor factory is a great place! When everyone can afford electrical appliances, the compressor factory will be very busy!"
Zhuang Chaoying waved his hand. "Director Zhou, that might take some time. After all, it's not a necessity. People are barely getting enough to eat right now, so how can we afford a refrigerator? Look, both of us are working. We had to pool our money to buy a TV. A refrigerator is even less useful. There's no meat in it, and popsicles are only for summer."
Zhou Huaiyi looked at Zhuang Chaoying, smiled and nodded: "That's right."
Huang Ling, Song Ying and Zhou Huailan came out together.
The two men supported Song Ying on the left and right.
Lin Wufeng went up to him and asked, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
"No, they insisted on supporting me." Song Ying shook her head.
"Don't be careless. It's a little swollen. Go to the infirmary to get some medicine. It's better to walk less. Fortunately, Engineer Lin is here to pick you up." Huang Ling handed the person over to Lin Wufeng.
Lin Wufeng helped Song Ying into the car and went back first.
"A Ling, we also..."
"I didn't know you were coming! I made an appointment with Huailan to have dinner at the state-owned restaurant."
"This must be Sister Ling's lover! My brother is here too, so let's go together! I'll treat you! Sister Ling helped me a lot today!" Zhou Huailan said generously.
Zhuang Chaoying immediately refused when he heard this: "No, no, no, eating at a state-owned restaurant is too expensive. You guys go!"
"Let's go! Teacher Zhuang, let's go together! It will be dark after dinner. Our home is in the opposite direction of yours, and it is not safe for Comrade Huang to go back alone." Zhou Huaiyi patted Zhuang Chaoying on the shoulder.
Huang Ling found that he was taller than Zhuang Chaoying, perhaps because he stood so straight.
When Zhuang Chaoying heard what Zhou Huaiyi said, he nodded.
He felt that it was not nice to let a female comrade treat him, but he really couldn't bring himself to invite her to a state-owned enterprise for dinner, so he had no choice but to follow with his head down.
Zhou Huailan told Zhou Huaiyi about Huang Ling’s “feat” today.
"Sister Ling saved me today."
"No, don't talk nonsense." Huang Ling glanced at Zhou Huaiyi who was serious, and pulled Zhou Huailan.
"Tell me about it." Zhou Huaiyi became interested and insisted on listening.
Zhuang Chaoying, who was standing by, felt nervous, wondering what trouble she had gotten herself into again.
Today, the leaders of the Industrial Bureau came to inspect, accompanied by several people from the factory office.
It was Zhou Huailan's first day at work. She didn't have to attend, but a female colleague from the factory office deliberately dragged her along, and she followed her without knowing why.
Fortunately, the first place we visited was the model workshop No. 7, where Huang Ling happened to work.
Huang Ling saw Zhou Huailan at a glance. When accompanying her to visit the workshop, she pulled Zhou Huailan and the two of them walked out of the crowd. Huang Ling whispered to her not to follow and to go back to the factory office immediately, and told her what to do when she returned.
There was no time to ask in detail at that time, but Zhou Huailan remembered her brother's instructions and did as Huang Ling said.
"Comrade Huang has experience. You are a newcomer who is not familiar with the business and the people, so you cannot participate in the accompaniment at all. This is your colleague's way of intimidating you! He is using you to improve himself. If the Industrial Bureau asks you something and you can't answer, she will stand up." Zhou Huaiyi nodded.
Huang Ling nodded. "Being scolded by the boss is a small matter. What I'm most afraid of is that you'll have to deal with the Industrial Bureau in the future, and they'll have a bad impression of you. That would make it difficult for you to get anything done."
Zhuang Chaoying was very surprised by the conversation between the two people. He always thought that Huang Ling was just an ordinary worker, but he didn't expect her to be so capable.
"Yeah! When I thought about it later, I broke out in a cold sweat! Our factory director must have thought I went along to show off!"
Zhou Huailan is a simple girl. She was just an ordinary worker in the town factory and didn't know all these twists and turns. Zhou Huaiyi used his connections to transfer her to the city so that the two siblings could stay together and take care of each other.
"Then what did your sister Ling teach you to do?" Zhou Huaiyi asked curiously.
"The conference room was ventilated, teacups, tea leaves, and boiled water were prepared, as well as silk, fabric, and color samples, and scented candles were lit."
"Huailan is so smart. I said it very quickly and she got everything right."
"You took advantage of the fact that they went to the warehouse and rushed over to help me finish it!" Zhou Huailan looked grateful.
"This is what a newcomer like you should do. It seems that it's not easy to stay in the factory!" Zhou Huaiyi was a little worried.
As Huang Ling expected, these people came back a little earlier, hoping to get things done before the leader came back. This would not offend the leaders of the Industrial Bureau, but would also allow them to take the opportunity to suppress Zhou Huailan.
"I have a question, what are scented candles?" Zhou Huaiyi asked again.
"Brother, this is made by Sister Ling herself. When you light it, it smells faintly fragrant."
Zhou Huailan took out a palm-sized candle from her cross-body cloth bag. It was not the usual red or white color, but pink.
Zhou Huaiyi took it and smelled it. It smelled like soap.
Huang Ling smiled and said, "Eight people came from the Industrial Bureau, three of them are female leaders."
"Yes! Deputy Director Yan specifically asked me how the fragrance in the conference room smelled so good. Then I followed Sister Ling's instructions and said that I made my own scented candles and would send her a few tomorrow."
Zhou Huaiyi looked at Huang Ling from the side without saying anything.
Not only did she save her sister from an emergency, she even helped her connect with Deputy Director Yan. This way, her colleagues in the factory office would no longer make things difficult for her.
He had been planning to ask the factory manager to help his sister change her job, but now it seems that is no longer necessary.
