Chapter 45 Huaihua Machinery Factory 3
"Don't go to the dormitory to sleep if you don't take a shower!" Cheng Yan glared at him, even more frightening than when he ignored people in the dormitory.
"I don't want to take a shower with strangers." Xingjian muttered softly, but he was thinking about something else.
Among the countless missions he had done, there were many missions that required him to play roles like this, but now when Xingjian thought about taking off all his clothes in front of this guy, he felt a little embarrassed in his mind and had an urge to rush out of the bathhouse.
When Xing Jian was finally pushed into the single room by Cheng Yan, he was a little confused, and his hand was still tightly holding the soap that Cheng Yan had stuffed into his hand.
Xing Jian was not the only one who looked confused. Cheng Yan, who pushed the person into the single room and paid two cents more, was also confused. Looking at the scratches left by the little guy on his arm, Cheng Yan felt very uncomfortable. He cursed inwardly and turned to walk towards the public bathhouse.
Xing Jian was taking a shower alone in a single room. He was very quick, but when he came out he didn't see Cheng Yan. He squatted at the door of the bathhouse holding his dirty clothes. It was not until the lights in the bathhouse were about to be turned off that he realized that Cheng Yan had left him and gone back to the dormitory first.
Xing Jian was still full of anger when walking on the road, but when the cold wind blew at night, the anger quickly dissipated. Xing Jian looked up at the starry sky, humming an unknown tune, and slowly walked back.
The lights in the dormitory were turned off early, but the door was not locked. Xingjian groped his way in under the dim moonlight outside the window, stuffed the dirty clothes into his bag, and sat down on the hard bed.
Not feeling the expected hardness, Xing Jian moved his butt in confusion, and saw in the moonlight that there was an extra mattress on his bed, which was originally covered with wooden boards. The mattress was the same one he had seen on Cheng Yan's upper bunk before.
He glanced at the other bed. Cheng Yan's figure was imprinted in the darkness, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or awake. Xing Jian lay silently in bed, staring at the bedside in a daze.
The night was exceptionally quiet, with only one or two insects occasionally chirping.
Xingjian, who had taken a long nap in the afternoon, didn't feel sleepy at all. His thoughts involuntarily drifted to the mission and the missing 004.
After coming to this new world, Xingjian always felt empty in his heart, as if he had forgotten something important.
He lost his mind like this for an unknown amount of time. When Xing Jian came to his senses, the chirping of insects beside his ears had disappeared, and the only sound in the dormitory was the sound of Cheng Yan's even breathing.
Xingjian could only force himself to close his eyes and fall asleep.
In the dark night, Cheng Yan's originally steady breathing suddenly stopped, and his dark eyes suddenly opened and stared at Xing Jian who had fallen asleep not far away.
"Wake up, kid. It's time to go to work." Xing Jian was pushed awake by Cheng Yan. In a daze, an enlarged human face appeared in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then he jumped up and followed Cheng Yan.
Suddenly, Xing Jian bumped into Cheng Yan's broad back. He rubbed his red nose and looked at Cheng Yan with some confusion. Then he saw that man turned around and looked at him with cold eyes, "Why are you following me? Why don't you go to work?"
Xing Jian shook his head, "Brother Cheng, I don't know where to go."
"Report to the factory director's secretary." Cheng Yan said this, leaving Xing Jian alone there, and walked away.
Looking at the people in blue work clothes coming and going around, Xingjian, who was wearing tattered clothes, felt a little out of place. He turned his head and looked around the rooms, trying to find a room with the word "office" written on it, but saw nothing.
There are three roads in front of him. Xingjian decided to randomly pick one and try again if he took the wrong one.
Cheng Yan left without going far. He looked at the dusty young man standing there for a long time, then walked in the opposite direction of the factory director's office, sneered, and retracted his gaze.
Xingjian walked around a whole circle before he found the factory director's office. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. After hearing the person inside say "Come in", he pushed the door open and walked in.
Looking at the person sitting in the office, it was a man who looked to be about thirty years old. When he saw Xingjian pushing the door, there was a little confusion in his eyes at first, but soon his eyes became clear.
"Are you the kid who was beaten by Weidong?" the man said as he looked at the kid in front of him.
Xing Jian didn't say anything. He knew from the original owner's memory that the factory director's youngest son was named Li Weidong. Seeing Xing Jian's silence, the man showed a curious look on his face and said with a hint of contempt, "Come on, don't tell me. Come with me."
"My name is Li Weiguo. You probably don't have much chance to see me. Have you been to school? Can you read?" Li Weiguo led Xingjian to somewhere unknown.
"I went to middle school." Xing Jian mentioned the original owner's academic qualifications. In fact, the original owner had even been admitted to a junior college, but he had no money to pay the tuition, so he worked odd jobs in various places to save up for tuition. However, before he had saved enough for the tuition, he was targeted by the gangster Li Weidong.
Li Weiguo was a little surprised when he heard Xingjian say that he had attended middle school. He thought that this little brat from the countryside was illiterate, but he didn't expect that he had been to school. However, he guessed that his academic performance was average, otherwise how could he have been doing odd jobs in the small town and even know his uneducated brother.
"You can't do the work in the workshop, so start by moving things." Li Weiguo finally arrived at the destination with Xingjian. It was the warehouse of the machinery factory. There were a few scattered workers loading and unloading things inside. When they saw Li Weiguo leading the newcomers over, they all gathered around him.
"Secretary Li, is this the newcomer to our factory?" Ma Xiangqian came over and looked at the child who was brought in. The child looked malnourished. Could he carry all these things?
"Let me introduce to you all. This is our new porter colleague in the factory. His name is..." Li Weiguo suddenly realized that he had not yet asked the child in front of him what his name was.
"My name is Xingjian," Xingjian quickly replied. Seeing the other people looking at him, he added, "I've been doing farm work since I was a child. I'm very strong and won't hold you back."
Seeing that Xingjian in front of him seemed quite well-behaved and sensible, Li Weiguo pushed Xingjian and asked him to go work with everyone, then hurriedly left the warehouse.
The workers who had just gathered scattered, leaving only Ma Xiangqian behind. He grinned with his big yellow teeth and said, "Come here, Xiao Xingzi. I'll show you around the warehouse procedures. You can do it on your own this afternoon."
The warehouse is not big, and the work flow in the warehouse is very simple. It is to box and pack the mechanical parts produced in the factory. The remaining work is boxing. After touring the warehouse, Ma Xiangqian let him walk around alone to familiarize himself with the environment.
