Chapter 219 A Gift from the Enemy



Gu Shi went to the boiler room, where the experienced workers were working hard.

"Uncle Wang is busy!"

He went to find the leader of the boiler room, who was basically the team leader!

Grandpa Wang followed Gu Shi out impatiently; the machines inside were too noisy, and he couldn't hear anything clearly.

"What's wrong now, Xiao Gu? Didn't you agree not to interfere with my work?"

Grandpa Wang couldn't stand this the most. When he first started working at the brick factory, he had a terrible temper and wouldn't listen to anyone.

They've all toned it down a lot now; otherwise, last time Feng Chao wouldn't have just gotten a beating.

Gu Shi smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I do have something to trouble you with, but don't worry, it won't be too much of a hassle."

Gu Shi entrusted the college students to Grandpa Wang, hoping they would learn real skills here, and that they wouldn't just be all talk and no action!

Afterwards, Gu Shi found another experienced worker in the boiler room and instructed him on another matter, which was similar to the previous one.

After finishing all this, it was almost time to leave work.

He tidied up and asked Xiao Zhang to run a errand and deliver something to Zhou Chunmei.

Someone ran errands for them, and Gu Shi even had lunch with Lin Qingyu and her daughter; the cafeteria had braised pork that day.

Gu Jue ate with great relish; as long as there was meat to eat, he was easy to feed.

Seeing her like this, Lin Qingyu wasn't in a hurry to eat her own food, and turned to ask.

"Little Bei loves meat so much! It's a pity that Mommy is a bit tired right now, otherwise I could cook delicious food for you every day!"

Gu Jue can say more and more words, but her voice is still very childish and cute.

"Mother, why are you tired from reading?"

Every day, Gu Jue was in front of Lin Qingyu, and Lin Qingyu was always reading a book, which meant that Gu Jue had clearly memorized it.

"You little rascal, all you do every day is remember why, right?"

Perhaps it's because he's reached this age, but Gu Jue really does ask Lin Qingyu a lot of "why" questions every day.

Gu Jue chuckled, lowered his head and ate another piece of braised pork, muttering to himself.

"One should not speak while eating or sleeping..."

Looking at his family, Gu Shi felt content; this was the home he had always wanted.

Zhou Chunmei, however, was not in a good mood after receiving the letter.

As soon as she got back, she grabbed Feng Chao and questioned him thoroughly. Although Feng Chao told her a few more things, how could Zhou Chunmei believe him?

Gu Shi's attitude was stiff this morning, but now he's sent this thing. Even if Zhou Chunmei is stupid, she can guess Gu Shi's intentions.

She looked at Feng Chao not far away, who was grooming Zhou Chunmei's kitten, looking quite relaxed.

Zhou Chunmei then remembered that she had been running around to various factories, busy all day long, so why was Feng Chao like this?

So Zhou Chunmei didn't intend to say anything more; she simply handed over the invitation letter that Gu Shi had sent.

"This is an internship invitation from the brick factory. Without this, you'll most likely be assigned to Yamanashi Prefecture. The choice is yours!"

Zhou Chunmei held a glass of red wine in one hand, her fingernails were painted red, making her look particularly glamorous.

She walked to the sofa and sat down, looking languid and beautiful.

Feng Chao sat down next to her with great interest, and as usual, he went to put his arm around Zhou Chunmei's waist, but his hand fell empty.

Fortunately, Feng Chao was rather careless and didn't pay attention to so many details. He opened the envelope and started checking it.

When Feng Chao saw that the brick factory belonged to Gu Shi, his face suddenly turned pale, the scene of being beaten last time still vivid in his mind.

"I'm not going, Sister Chunmei. You know perfectly well that Gu Shi doesn't like me. If I go there, who knows how he'll treat me?"

Feng Chao clung to Zhou Chunmei's arm, shaking it playfully.

Zhou Chunmei frowned deeply, wondering how she had endured it all before.

"Alright, I spent ages begging for you there today, and Gu Shi finally agreed. You can go now!"

She got up and moved away from Feng Chao, continuing, "Besides, he's been quite busy lately and doesn't have time to deal with you."

Feng Chao, however, still looked worried. He took off his glasses and said pitifully.

"Please, sister, help me! I really don't want to go there. If there's no other way, I'll go to the steel mill!"

Zhou Chunmei, with her back to Feng Chao, scoffed upon hearing this before speaking to him.

"You think it's so easy to get into a steel mill? Things aren't like they were a few years ago. Back then, steel mills were highly sought-after places; you couldn't get in even if you offered money!"

Feng Chao immediately stood up with a grin, walked over to Zhou Chunmei, and said ingratiatingly.

"Sister Chunmei, weren't you in charge over there before? This little thing is definitely no problem for you!"

He stretched out his hands and pretended to massage Zhou Chunmei's shoulders and back, his fawning attitude was disgusting.

Zhou Chunmei finds him increasingly unpleasant to look at now, and she doesn't know what was wrong with her in the past, that she had to find someone like him.

She patted Feng Chao's hand and said earnestly, "Even if you get a job at the steel factory, it won't help. You'll still have to rely on yourself to find a job in the future!"

"If you just follow the school's assignment, you'll probably have no problem getting a job in Yamanashi Prefecture. But are you content to just be a teacher?"

Everyone in the village knows that being a teacher is a good job, but unfortunately Feng Jianguo did that kind of thing, so Feng Chao will never be a teacher again.

When Zhou Chunmei saw that he didn't speak, she assumed that he had been persuaded by her.

"Besides, you're not a related major to begin with. Sending you in is risky in itself, and we can't even assign you a job after you come out!"

"The brick factory is different. The management of the brick factory is not strict enough. Besides, this was personally approved by Gu Shi, so there is definitely no problem!"

After Zhou Chunmei said so much, Feng Chao understood that the steel plant was out of the question.

Feng Chao looked into Zhou Chunmei's eyes and smiled, saying, "Okay! Then I'll follow Sister Chunmei's arrangements."

After saying that, he put his glasses back on, and the blurry world suddenly became clear.

Zhou Chunmei raised her hand to stop her, saying, "It's good that you can understand. Your glasses are so dirty, go wash them first!"

She casually placed her glasses on the small coffee table, then instructed the maid to wash them. She then took Feng Chao's hand and left the living room.

Gu Shi, who was being thought of by Feng Chao, got busy again after lunch.

Because he didn't know the specifics of the internship, and the province had just held a meeting these past two days, he still had to go to various factories to relay instructions.

Fortunately, each factory only had a limited number of openings, with the most being around ten, especially in steel mills.

There are only four or five people at the brick factory, so it's not too much of a hassle.

After conveying the instructions, Gu Shi personally found an empty room in the brick factory and had people move the idle and obsolete machines inside.

Seeing how seriously Gu Shi was taking it, the workers at the brick factory also began to take the matter seriously.

After all, we've brought college students here. Even though they're here to study, they're cultured people!

The workers were eager to see the college students!
