Chapter 145: Trouble
Gu Jinyan wasn't the only one who didn't understand.
When Ye Qian drank water from a thermos in the morning, she startled Dong Jing's Jiang Sha. Dong Jing asked directly, "You're drinking hot water now. Are you sick? Aren't you afraid of the heat?"
Ye Qian smiled and said, "I don't drink hot water. I drink ice water. This thermos can not only keep hot water, but also cold water. You know, I brought this this morning, and it's still ice cold."
Everyone shook their heads and said, we really don’t know.
Dong Jing immediately ran over to take a look. A burst of cool air hit the lid, and it was indeed very cool. She said, "You are really smart, girl. No one thought that it can be used in summer."
Ye Qian just wanted to laugh when she heard this.
Not only Dong Jing and the others didn't expect this, but those who had bought thermoses before also didn't expect this. After seeing Ye Qian still using a thermos, they came over to ask about it and only then did they realize that it had such a function.
For a while, everyone took out the thermoses they had put away, and their popularity was comparable to that in winter.
Those who did not buy a thermos last year felt a little regretful when they saw the situation like this. They thought it could only be used for one winter and it was not cost-effective to spend dozens of dollars on a thermos. They did not expect that it could be used all year round. Now they come to ask Ye Qian if she has any stock left.
Ye Qian had just sold fans, so naturally she couldn't go against the wind and commit a crime. Now she was selling insulation and attracting attention, so she just said no.
…
This day.
It was naturally nothing for the few people who already had the basic staff in the union, but it was the same for the two new male comrades.
Everyone was drinking ice water from thermoses and fanning themselves with the electric fans they had bought in the office when they suddenly heard a "bang". Ye Qian looked over in the direction of the sound and found that it was Comrade Lu Li who had suffered from heatstroke. His chair and body had fallen to the ground.
Comrade Kong Anping, who was standing nearby, hurried to help Comrade Lu Li, but after he squatted down, he could not stand up again and they both fainted.
This scared all the comrades in the union. The union was composed entirely of women, and they had finally got two men, but they didn't expect them to be so weak.
Jiang Sha quickly ran to the logistics department next door to find someone to send them to the hospital. Ye Qian and Dong Jing also poured their own ice water on towels to cool them down.
There were two male comrades in the logistics department, but the other one was out on business, so he alone could not lift the two fainted people.
Fortunately, the two woke up after their temperature dropped, but they were sent to the hospital for safety reasons. After thanking her colleagues in the logistics department, Ye Qian turned around and bought some popsicles to cool everyone down.
Each popsicle cost one cent, and Ye Qian bought twenty of them. The union and logistics were all covered. After all, others came to help, and it wasn't very expensive.
After Ye Qian came in, she gave one to everyone and said, "Eat it quickly to cool you down." Then she turned and went to the logistics department.
He gave the popsicle to the man first, and then distributed it to the others. Naturally, Li Yue got one. When Li Yue saw the popsicle, she asked, "Are the two comrades who had heatstroke feeling better?"
Ye Qian replied while eating a popsicle, "I'm awake now. Let's eat a popsicle first and see how it goes. If I still feel dizzy, I'll definitely need to go to the hospital. After all, heatstroke can be serious or minor."
Li Yue nodded, and Ye Qian returned to her department after distributing the popsicles.
After Ye Qian entered the room, she asked Kong Anping and Lu Li: "How are you? Are you feeling better? If you're still feeling unwell, let's go to the hospital."
Dong Jing also said: "Yes, if you feel uncomfortable, let's go to the hospital."
The two men shook their heads, and Kong Pingan said, "I'm almost there, but I'm still a little dizzy."
Lu Li also said: "Well, it's almost time, sit for a while."
Ye Qian nodded: "Okay." Then she gave each of them a popsicle and said, "Eat this too."
The two wanted to refuse, but Ye Qian said, "I bought it for you in the first place. It will melt if you refuse."
The two felt a little embarrassed, but after hearing Ye Qian say this, they took it.
Ye Qian had been asking for the fan several times, but she couldn't get one. Jiang Sha suggested, "Why don't we move back to our old office? The fan there should work."
Dong Jing also nodded, thinking that what Jiang Sha said was right.
Ye Qian thought for a while: "Actually, I have thought about it, but ours has been burned before. I am worried that the hook on the fan is not stable. What if it falls down while fanning and cuts off my head? That's why I have never told you. If you want to go over, it's fine."
When everyone heard Ye Qian's words, they immediately thought of that scene, and then everyone shook their heads and said, "Forget it." After saying that, they hugged their necks and heads in fear.
Ye Qian sat there for a while but still didn't believe it, so she went to ask about the fan. Unexpectedly, the fan was brought back by a comrade just after Ye Qian asked.
The comrade said, "Comrade Ye Qian, you arrived earlier than me."
Seeing the fan, Ye Qian said excitedly, "It's because two of our comrades fainted from heatstroke. I had to come and ask about it. Health is the capital of revolution. How can we work well if our health is damaged?"
The comrade nodded and said, "This thing is heavy. I'll send it to you and it will be installed right away."
Ye Qian smiled and agreed: "Hey, let's go now."
Nowadays, when you buy something, installation and maintenance are not included. However, people nowadays have many skills (because they can save money by doing it themselves), so there are still many people who can install electric fans.
The comrade from the logistics department just now did this. He didn't expect Ye Qian to be so polite, and he felt a little embarrassed. Since he had eaten someone else's popsicle, installing an electric fan or something was naturally a piece of cake.
The fan was installed quickly. They turned it on to test the wind and found no problem. After thanking the comrades from the logistics department, the union members went back to the office.
With a big fan, a small fan is naturally useless. Ye Qian's small fan cannot shake its head and can only blow towards itself. But this ceiling fan is the same. Not only can it blow throughout the room, but because the wind blowing down from the high space will be softer, it is really good.
With the electric fan, the two male comrades naturally felt much better. However, it was not only the union without fans who suffered from heatstroke this summer. One or two comrades in many other departments also suffered from heatstroke. As union secretaries, no one could escape the fate of going out on field work. They took turns to visit the patients with heatstroke in the hospital.
But summer is just so tiring, it’s the same every year.
As the weather got hotter, Ye Qian naturally became more and more lazy, and almost every night she had dinner with food from the space.
When Gu Jinyan asked about Ye Qian, he could only spread his hands and said there was nothing he could do. The weather was too hot and he didn't want to do it.
Naturally, Gu Jinyan was reluctant to let Ye Qian work so hard. He knew it was hard to cook in such hot weather and had planned to do it himself, but Ye Qian felt sorry for Gu Jinyan and didn't want him to do it. Gu Jinyan couldn't persuade Ye Qian, so he just let her do it. As long as he didn't get hungry, it was fine.
