Chapter 17 Where's the money? Where did my money go? Wang Yulian was devastated...
early morning.
Shi Meilan and Hu Honghua got up together at seven o'clock, took out a small dictionary, first learned the new words they had recently picked out, then memorized the various keys on the computer, as well as the strange English letters, took out a small radio to listen to the latest broadcast, and then looked at various study books - oh, when you go to a big city, you have to study hard, you can't say "I can't" or "I don't understand" every time you open your mouth, otherwise you will be eliminated!
Although Shi Meilan comes from a humble background, she is very tenacious and wants to do her best wherever she goes. She wants to be the most eye-catching screw and be the most useful wherever she goes.
Hu Honghua was simply being led by Shi Meilan to learn. She had to learn whatever Shi Meilan learned. Although she didn't know what the information was for, she had to learn it, even if it meant yawning.
At eight o'clock, the two put on the clothes issued by the factory, took their work badges, wore the leather shoes issued by the factory, and went to the factory cafeteria to eat.
There were a lot of people in the cafeteria, most of them were female textile workers. They were chattering and it was very lively. After having a free meal, they went to work in Building 4 at nine o'clock.
Compared to the noisy cafeteria, Building 4 seemed exceptionally quiet. When they walked into the lobby, they could see the receptionist nodding at them with a smile. There was a bouquet of flowers on the counter, and a faint fragrance in the air.
Hu Honghua has been at Chunfeng Garment Factory for several days, but until now, she still feels like she is dreaming.
She went up the stairs with Aunt Shi, went up to the second floor, and found her workstation.
The workstations were very tidy, and on the table was a small potted plant called "hand-planted flowers", about the size of a palm. Aunt Shi bought three pots, one for Manager Sun, one for Shi Meilan, and one for Hu Honghua - Shi Meilan was serious about praising her superiors.
A small potted plant was placed next to the computer, looking emerald green. Aunt Shi also gave her a small watering can so that she could spray water on the plant when she had nothing to do.
Hu Honghua sat down and prepared to start her day's work.
There is not much to do in the secretariat, it is leisurely and comfortable, and the work is also easy. You have to open this thing called a computer, then input the forms into the computer, and then print them out again, or go make a cup of tea for Manager Sun.
To put it simply, I just help Manager Sun, usually delivering documents, getting reports, etc.
The relationship between colleagues is also very good. There are currently four people in the secretariat, one manager Sun, three assistants, one Aunt Shi, one her, and one named Chen Chunxiang.
Chen Chunxiang usually doesn't come to work, but for some reason she came today, dressed up very beautifully. From time to time, she would twist her waist in front of Hu Honghua and ask her, "Do I look good today?"
Hu Honghua looked up at her, nodded and said, "It looks good."
Chen Chunxiang is really beautiful, like a soft rice cake. When she sits on her seat and lies on the table, she looks lazy and soft, very likable.
She usually doesn't wear the uniform provided by the factory. She wears her own clothes every day. Today she is wearing a pink and white cake dress, which looks very fragrant. If she doesn't wear the uniform, her salary will be deducted. Hu Honghua and Shi Meilan are reluctant to do so. Only Chen Chunxiang doesn't care about the salary.
"Do you think others will like me like this?" Chen Chunxiang asked again.
"Who are the others?" Hu Honghua asked.
"Don't worry about it." Chen Chunxiang stamped her feet: "Do you think you will like it?"
"Of course I like it." Hu Honghua added, "I really like it."
Chen Chunxiang was satisfied and nodded at Hu Honghua's cheek and said, "You are so sweet-talking. If I am chosen today, we will go out for dinner together tonight at my restaurant. I will treat you."
Hu Honghua was very happy.
On the fifth day after leaving the village, she made her first friend!
Wait, what to choose?
She wanted to ask Chen Chunxiang, but Chen Chunxiang had already turned around and walked away with her high heels clicking.
Hu Honghua immediately forgot about the matter and happily started another beautiful day.
At the same time, Wang Yulian also took Lin Xinran and Li Jianye to the town.
Their family's only means of transportation was ridden away by Shi Meilan, and the three of them had poor relationships and it was difficult for them to go out and borrow one. So the three of them gritted their teeth and walked several miles from the mountain road to the main road, and then took a bus to the town.
After arriving in the town, Li Jianye went to look for some of his old teachers and friends - teachers also have their own circles. Li Jianye couldn't make it in Lijia Village anymore, so he left the village and looked for his old friends in the town, had a couple of meals with them, and saw if anyone had a job opportunity.
Wang Yulian took Lin Xinran all the way to Chunfeng Garment Factory.
——
The last time Wang Yulian came to Chunfeng Garment Factory was in early June. In the blink of an eye, a month had already passed.
At that time, the Chunfeng Garment Factory had not yet opened. The weeds near the factory had not been pulled out, there was not even a decent road in front of the door, and the yard was full of young girls applying for jobs. Everything looked like a makeshift team that had not yet started. But after coming here today, everything seemed very different.
There is a cement road in front of the factory. Although it is the only one, it looks much more tidy. The weeds near the factory have been removed, the trees have been dug up, the ground has been plowed, and there are some workers walking around.
It is said that a new snack street is going to be built outside, and the government will invest in its renovation, which is said to drive economic development.
From a distance, it seems that the scene is bustling everywhere. The security guards at the door are wearing special uniforms and look very impressive.
Wang Yulian clenched the green Jiefang crossbody bag in her hand, took Lin Xinran to the entrance of the garment factory, and explained her purpose to the security guard inside.
"I'm looking for Manager Lu." said Wang Yulian.
There were two security guards guarding the door. They asked the two of them to wait while one continued to guard the door while the other went in to report.
——
When the security message was delivered from the factory gate to the four office buildings, the office buildings were busy.
Manager Lu personally led people to inspect the first batch of goods leaving the factory, and kept an eye on the landline at all times. When the landline rang, Manager Lu trembled all over.
Manager Lu was on edge, and the people under him were also trembling with fear. Shi Meilan and Hu Honghua were busy in the secretariat, and occasionally they would hear Manager Sun leak a few secrets.
"Mr. Xiao Yuan is coming."
Shi Meilan cooperated with a look of curiosity: "That Mr. Yuan who came into the hospital? Oh, I've never met such an important figure before."
Manager Sun was very pleased with Shi Meilan's flattery. He raised his chin even higher and said slowly, "Yes, Mr. Yuan said he will be discharged from the hospital this afternoon."
"Mr. Yuan has a bad temper. Manager Lu is afraid that she won't be able to satisfy Mr. Yuan, so she's sharpening her sword at the last minute."
As he spoke, Manager Sun gestured and said, "Mr. Yuan studied abroad."
Although Manager Sun had never been abroad, when he heard the word "abroad", he felt that the three words "Mr. Yuan" were shining with golden light.
Shi Meilan started to flatter again: "Oh, you haven't seen what it's like abroad."
Manager Sun started bragging again, saying that the younger brother of the blind date of her third uncle's nephew's friend had been abroad and brought her a bag of foreign candy, saying that foreign candy was rare.
Shi Meilan nodded repeatedly - the first rule in the workplace is to please your boss first.
As the two were talking, a security guard suddenly came outside and said that someone had reported in and wanted to see Manager Lu.
After hearing about this, Manager Lu asked Supervisor Sun to go out and pick up someone and bring him to her office, saying that the person was from Supervisor Sun's secretariat.
Manager Sun replied "OK", but did not go there himself. Instead, he assigned the job to Shi Meilan.
Manager Sun currently has only three people under him: Chen Chunxiang, Hu Honghua, and Shi Meilan.
Chen Chunxiang is a standard beautiful and precious little ornament. Don’t even touch her. She is so pretentious.
Hu Honghua, with her eyes clear yet filled with stupidity, although honest, is incredibly slow to act. Her brain is as dumb as that stupid country egg, purebred! Sending Hu Honghua out on an errand would only make her unhappy!
Shi Meilan is smart, perceptive, hardworking and sensible.
Just move the three of them around and everyone will know who to use at a glance.
Shi Meilan took the job, got up and went outside to pick someone up.
Walk out of Building 4 and you will reach the entrance of the garment factory in about five or six minutes.
It was just past ten o'clock outside. As she stepped out of the shady building, the scorching sunlight fell from above her head. Shi Meilan guessed who the visitor was, so she quickened her pace.
After she took Wang Yulian's money, she deliberately replaced it with a batch of fake money. It will be a good show soon.
When Wang Yulian secretly hooked up with Li Jianye and took two hundred yuan from Li Jianye, she should have thought about today!
——
At this time, Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran were still waiting at the gate.
Wang Yulian had no idea who was coming to pick her up, and she was still fantasizing about her wonderful life in the future.
She and Lin Xinran entered this garment factory together and could receive wages here.
The employees of Chunfeng Garment Factory have very good benefits, including free food, free accommodation, and a high monthly salary. For rural women, this is a very good place to go.
Lin Xinran stood beside her, feeling a little uneasy about this unfamiliar place, but when she heard her mother say "very good, very good", she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
They left the annoying Lijia Village and came to a new place where no one knew them and no one bullied them.
Lin Xinran felt that she had escaped from the heavy past and was about to be reborn.
She couldn't help but get closer to her mother, imagining the wonderful life she and her mother would have here.
At this moment, they heard a familiar voice: "Are you two here to report?"
A woman wearing a one-step skirt uniform from the Chunfeng Garment Factory stood in front of them.
There are two types of uniforms for employees in the garment factory. One is for female workers, which are all pure blue with a very high saturation and dazzling blue. The other is the uniform for white-collar office workers, which is a more formal light gray with dark white edges. There is a metal identity card on the chest with "Shi Meilan, Secretary Department" written on it, and the leather shoes on the feet are black low-heeled leather shoes - the investment from large factories is different, even the employees' attire is so neat and uniform, and they look more upscale than those government officials.
Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran raised their heads at the same time, and when they saw who was coming, they felt as if they were falling into an icy cave.
The woman in the staff uniform had a bright round face, red lips and white teeth, and her smile was beautiful and unrestrained. Her hair was tied into a low ponytail and hung behind her head. The wind-blown hair fluttered around her cheeks. She looked like the heroine in a Hong Kong movie, smiling at them.
At that moment, Wang Yulian felt like her heart had stopped beating.
This face, even if this face turned into ashes, Wang Yulian would recognize it!
Isn’t this Shi Meilan!
Why is Shi Meilan here!
When Wang Yulian ran into Shi Meilan here, she felt like her "secret was revealed". This Chunfeng Garment Factory was a secret of Wang Yulian. She had secretly found a good place for herself without telling anyone in Lijia Village, waiting for the day when she would make a fortune. However, when she arrived, she found that there were already people from Lijia Village in this place, which was hard for her to accept.
What’s even more terrible is that this person is Shi Meilan.
Shi Meilan!
She is the ex-wife of her current man!
Why is Shi Meilan here? How can she, a rural woman, be an employee here?
At this moment, Wang Yulian felt very unwilling and even a little angry.
Shi Meilan was just a country girl. She had spent her entire life working in the countryside, farming, giving birth, taking care of children, and arguing with the sister-in-law next door. Apart from that, she didn't even know how to read! She had never lived in the city before, so how could she possibly find a job in a town?
Shi Meilan is not an educated youth, and she doesn't even have a husband who is an educated youth. She was kicked out of Lao Li's house. The people in the village would not help her at all except for laughing at her. She should go back to her parents' home and rely on them for support for the rest of her life, or marry someone else and repeat the life that a rural woman should have. Why on earth does she come to this factory to work as an employee?
"Are you two the only ones here to report?"
The woman standing at the factory gate opposite seemed completely unaware of Wang Yulian's secretly surging jealousy. When she didn't get a response, she raised her head and glanced at the two of them. There was a hint of strangeness and coldness in her eyes, as if she didn't know them at all.
"Yes, it's us." Lin Xinran, who was standing by, reacted faster than Wang Yulian and said quickly, "We're here to see Manager Lu."
Shi Meilan inside nodded, told the security guard to let them pass, and then took the two of them into the four office buildings.
Shi Meilan's polite attitude and gentle demeanor made Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran, mother and daughter, behind her feel uneasy and they kept looking up.
The small leather shoes on Shi Meilan's feet stepped on the burning floor tiles, making a crisp "click-click" sound, like a death warrant, knocking on their hearts. The two of them followed Shi Meilan and looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.
Why was Shi Meilan here? They didn't understand, but they both began to feel scared.
Shi Meilan came earlier than the two of them and seems to have become a formal employee. Will Shi Meilan make things difficult for them?
Lin Xinran nervously grabbed Wang Yulian's arm, and Wang Yulian patted her daughter's hand, then took a deep breath - she was not afraid!
Although she didn't know how Shi Meilan got in, she was looking for Manager Lu, the most powerful manager in the entire factory. With Manager Lu as her backer, what was there to be afraid of!
In just a few steps, Shi Meilan had already brought her people to Building 4. After going up from the first floor to the second floor, Shi Meilan handed Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran, mother and daughter, over to Manager Sun.
Manager Sun took a good look at the two men's attire.
Both of them were covered in dust, and it was obvious that they had come from a long way away. They were carrying large and small bags. When they stood in the office, they were covered with a smell of dirt, which was out of place in this clean and tidy office.
Especially when the people from other groups nearby looked up and saw these two people, Manager Sun felt "shameful" and frowned.
I don’t know where Manager Lu recruits these people!
While Manager Sun was looking at the two of them, Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran were also looking around the office.
Chunfeng Garment Factory is a place that makes clothes, and is inseparable from the word "fashion", so there are requirements for appearance. The employees here also have to dress themselves up. Everyone in the office wears the same uniform, women in skirts, men in suits, and all wear the same small leather shoes. Women's hair is mostly permed and has various fresh hairstyles, and men have to use hair wax, and each one is bright and beautiful.
Wang Yulian glanced over and actually saw Hu Honghua here.
Hu Honghua didn't expect to see Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran. She subconsciously glanced at Aunt Shi. Aunt Shi sat down with a normal expression. Hu Honghua didn't say anything and continued to make reports in front of the computer.
At that time, everyone in the office was very busy, the sound of keyboards clacking and telephones beeping incessantly made the four people look even more strange.
They looked at each other for a few seconds, then turned their heads away silently and continued to pretend not to know each other in the crowd.
But although he pretended to be fine on the surface, he had to complain a few words in his heart.
Wang Yulian looked away and thought, no wonder Shi Meilan went to the countryside to pick up Hu Honghua a few days ago, it turns out she brought her here.
How could someone as dumb as Hu Honghua actually get into this garment factory? She hadn't even been to school for a few years, and she couldn't even do accounting!
Wang Yulian felt even more uncomfortable. The feeling of being suppressed by the country people made her extremely uncomfortable.
At this time, Manager Sun in front of her began to ask her: "Are you Wang Yulian?"
Wang Yulian came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly.
After asking about her identity, Manager Sun pointed to the office inside with his chin and said to Wang Yulian, "Manager Lu wants to see you first. Please go in."
Wang Yulian clenched the green cross-body bag in her hand, walked quickly to Manager Lu's door, and raised her hand to knock on the door.
Manager Lu inside shouted "Come in", and Wang Yulian pushed the door and walked into Manager Lu's office.
Manager Lu's office is about 20 square meters, with walls on three sides and a large floor-to-ceiling window on one side. The window is very wide and bright. There is a set of office desks and chairs as soon as you enter the door, and a set of sofas for guests by the window. It looks very decent.
Manager Lu was also wearing a uniform suit. The badge on his chest read "Lu Jiangxue" without any department prefix. Compared to the busy employees outside, Manager Lu looked more stern. His long face was stretched even longer, his thick lips were tightly pursed, and he did not look very happy.
"Hello, Manager Lu." After Wang Yulian came in, she forced a smile towards Manager Lu.
When she walked in, Manager Lu was sitting at the table looking at the profit report in his hand.
In fact, they haven't received any orders recently. They just arrived in Chunfeng Town and the local sales are very small. Most of the sales of the garment factory still rely on the original channel orders from Baicheng City. These orders are actually assigned to them by the garment factories in Baicheng City. They themselves do not have the strength to compete with the old factories.
At present, their only order is the order of clothes for employees of Shen's Restaurant. Of course, the profit is very slim. They can make a few dollars for each piece of clothing, and a hundred pieces of clothing can only make a few hundred dollars. A few hundred dollars may seem like a lot at first glance, but when it is mixed in with the reports, it seems very little.
I'm afraid Xiao Yuan won't be satisfied with such results.
Hearing the noise, Manager Lu looked up and said, "It's you—"
Manager Lu still remembered that she had accepted money from Wang Yulian to get someone to work. Now that the person had arrived, she waved her hand and said, "Give me the money, then go out and take your daughter to report. Go to whichever of the three departments below wants you."
In the past few days, the three departments have gradually been filled with people. Each department has three or four people, which is completely enough for the garment factory. Now if there are two more people, they can be squeezed in anywhere.
Wang Yulian hurried forward and opened her backpack as she said, "Thank you, Manager Lu, for arranging this for me. This is just a small token of my appreciation. When my husband returns from Beijing, I'll definitely treat you to a meal in person to thank you."
She quickly opened the box, took out two hundred yuan from it, and placed it respectfully on Manager Lu's desk.
This money is all loose bills. These are the ones collected from the school. Wang Yulian should give it to Manager Lu in the same way that Li Jianye gave it to her.
Manager Lu nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to take the money.
Two hundred yuan is her salary for almost half a year - in fact, this person can't make much money doing his job. Things that make money are hidden in the rules and hidden in the rights. You have to find a way to climb up first, and then you can see different scenery and eat different cakes.
This is why she was willing to come to this remote little place. The cake of Baicheng City has been completely "eaten", and she can't even get at the table. She can only come to this small, broken place to have a meal.
But she didn't expect that just after she arrived, the boss of Baicheng Garment Factory sent his own son. With such a big supporter in the future, would she still be afraid of not making money?
Manager Lu counted the money with great satisfaction, saying as he did so, "This matter has been kept secret. Don't let anyone else know. Okay, you can get out now."
Wang Yulian nodded quickly. This whole process went surprisingly smoothly, and she was a little overwhelmed. But just as she turned around, she heard Manager Lu shout, "Wait a minute!"
Wang Yulian turned back again: "Manager Lu, what's wrong?"
"What's with this money?" Manager Lu stood up from behind his seat, clutching the stack of money, and shouted, "This is counterfeit money! Are you trying to fool me with counterfeit money?"
Wang Yulian was frightened and quickly said, "Impossible! I didn't use counterfeit money to fool you. How could I dare to do that?"
"Do you take me for a fool? I can't even recognize money!"
Manager Lu yelled, then threw the money in Wang Yulian's face. The bills flew like snowflakes, mixed with Manager Lu's roar. "I'm giving you this chance for your husband's sake, otherwise I wouldn't have hired you! How dare you play tricks on me! Do you think I'm made of clay?"
Banknotes flew in front of her and she hurriedly picked one up to look at it.
The banknotes looked real at first glance, but upon closer inspection, I discovered that there were no anti-counterfeiting marks on them, indicating that they were indeed fake.
Wang Yulian’s head buzzed.
How could it be possible? She had gotten all this money from Li Jianye! Li Jianye almost had his legs broken for this money! He even pushed his son's marriage to a fool, how could he possibly lie to her?
Who swapped her money?
"I, I don't know what's going on." Wang Yulian explained to Manager Lu incoherently. Seeing that Manager Lu was really angry, she begged again and again: "I really don't know what's going on, Manager Lu, these were all mailed to me by my husband. They must have been replaced on the way by a malicious postman. Can you wait for me to mail him a letter and ask? If it really doesn't work, you can accept me. I will give you my salary every month. I will work for you for free for a year and will definitely make up for it for you. Please do it for my husband's sake."
Manager Lu looked at Wang Yulian with a gloomy face.
Wang Yulian was so anxious that she almost knelt down! She really didn't know what was going on. In an instant, a layer of sweat oozed out of her forehead, and her face looked frighteningly pale. Seeing Wang Yulian like this, it didn't seem like she was lying.
Manager Lu was a little shaken.
In addition, the quota has been reserved. If Wang Yulian doesn't come now, someone else will have to come later. However, if others come through formal channels, they will not be paid. So if Wang Yulian is not allowed to join the company now, she will not get any money. It is a lose-lose situation. It is better to let Wang Yulian join the company, and she can directly deduct Wang Yulian's salary.
"Wang Yulian." Manager Lu lowered his voice and said with a hint of warning: "Don't cause me any more trouble. I asked you to stay so that you can pay back your debts. If you dare to fool me again, I will kick you out!"
Manager Lu is a person who sometimes values money too much.
Sometimes, when people value something too much, they will start to ignore other things in order to get it, which will lead to an imbalance in the situation. Just like Li Jianye, who took the school's money for the sake of temporary tenderness and pleasure, resulting in himself being beaten and expelled from the school. The same is true for Manager Lu now. For a little money, she tolerated Wang Yulian's teasing of her, leaving behind such a disaster.
In the final analysis, it's all about greed. He wants every bit of money and is so greedy that he doesn't even care about his face. His eating habits are very ugly.
If people cannot control their desires, they will become slaves to their desires.
"Thank you, Manager Lu." Wang Yulian almost cried with joy. She wiped the tears from her face, thanked him again and again, then picked up all the fake money on the ground, put them away one by one, and slowly walked out of the office.
After leaving the office, Wang Yulian went to report to the three supervisors.
There are three departments: a design department, a secretarial department, and a sales department, and each department has a lot of people.
Manager Sun didn't like Wang Yulian and thought she looked rustic. She didn't want Wang Yulian, so she pushed her out, but kept Lin Xinran.
Lin Xinran is young and can run errands.
Manager Sun thought, there are only two people in three departments, she has already asked for one, and others cannot push the other one to her.
Another person in the design department was Director Gu, a delicate but cultured woman whose father was said to be a high school teacher in town. Director Gu required candidates with real academic qualifications and the ability to draw, something Wang Yulian didn't have, so she didn't get into the design department.
Now there is only one sales department left.
The head of the sales department is Zhou Dazhuang. He is often out on business and rarely stays in the office. I don’t know what happened today, but he stayed in the office abnormally.
At that time, Zhou Dazhuang saw that Wang Yulian was being pushed back and forth between the two departments and neither wanted the job. He waved his hand and said directly: "Come with me to the sales department. We are short of people in the sales department."
That’s right, the sales department is always short of staff.
As for sales, you have to run around the county, visit various stores and ask if they need clothes, find large shopping malls to go shopping, and occasionally have to accompany others for dinner. There are a lot of drinking parties, it's very busy, and there is always a shortage of people. It is a very tiring job. The most important thing is that the base salary of the sales department is very low, only five yuan. The specific salary depends on your own ability, how much goods you sell, and how much commission you earn.
Moreover, women of this era are a bit embarrassed to show up in public or go on business trips with a group of men, so there are very few women in the sales department.
But Wang Yulian had nowhere to go. No one wanted her, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and join the sales department.
Manager Zhou had no idea what kind of person Wang Yulian was. He simply greeted her normally, as if she were just two colleagues meeting. "You two should go downstairs to the front desk, then go to the warehouse behind the cafeteria to pick up your uniforms, and then find a dormitory. Get ready for work tomorrow."
This was how their days at the Chunfeng Garment Factory began. Although there were some minor setbacks, they finally made it in.
Wang Yulian was holding the small bag in her hand and was distracted when she went downstairs with her daughter. She seemed to be still thinking about the money in the bag. Lin Xinran, on the other hand, was completely unaware of these things and went downstairs happily.
Although Lin Xinran also hated Shi Meilan and Hu Honghua by the way, she couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that she and her mother could find a good job.
After the two of them left, Hu Honghua came over to Shi Meilan and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, why are they here too?"
"I also want to find a job." Shi Meilan typed on the keyboard, thinking to herself, this Wang Yulian is quite capable. She took all the money, but Wang Yulian was still able to come in - I don't know how she coaxed Manager Lu.
This made Shi Meilan a little unhappy. Manager Lu had a very good temper. If she had found out that she was being fooled, she would have turned hostile and kicked the person out.
She worked so hard to set a trap for Widow Wang, hoping to make a big fool of herself, but she ended up jumping over it quietly and not getting angry for such a small amount of money.
These city people do things in a decent manner. If this happened in their rural areas, they would have slapped each other in the face a long time ago, but these city people didn't even make a fuss and solved everything privately.
Shi Meilan suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued typing on the keyboard, thinking, I'll think about doing bad things later. She had to finish the work at hand now.
"Auntie," Hu Honghua muttered again, "So we'll be working together from now on?"
She kind of hated Wang Yulian and Lin Xinran. Whenever she worked with them, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if there was a thorn as big as a needle tip stuck in her heart. Although it didn't hurt that much, she felt annoyed by being pricked every day.
"Look at my aunt." Shi Meilan tapped on the keyboard and said, "Even if the two of them come, my aunt will still be better than them."
Although she didn't have the foresight she had before her rebirth, Shi Meilan was no pushover! She was still a junior employee, but who knew if she'd get a promotion? If she became a supervisor, these two would have to work under her.
What's the big deal about stealing a man? These two people are capable of stealing her job!
So if she has to be afraid, it shouldn't be her who is afraid of these two people, but these two people who should be afraid of her.
When Hu Honghua saw her aunt's eagerness to fight anyone, she felt relieved.
If you hang out with your aunt, you can eat nine meals in three days! No meal is too bad!
The two of them were still here getting excited when suddenly there was a noise outside.
Zhou Dazhuang leaned over the office window, looked out, pointed at a car and said, "Here it comes!"
Manager Sun suddenly jumped up, grabbed Shi Meilan and Hu Honghua's arms, and said, "Hurry and stand up! People are coming! Remember to applaud later."
"Who's coming?"
Hu Honghua and Shi Meilan stood up together and asked.
"Mr. Yuan is here!"
Shi Meilan was close to the window and looked down from the side of the window. From a distance, she saw a Xiali car parked at the door of Building 4. A young man in his twenties wearing a suit got out of the car.
This young man is really handsome, with a tall figure, handsome eyebrows, thin lips and a straight nose. He is obviously a man, but he has red lips and white teeth, as if he walked out of a painting.
Wow, this is such a handsome kid.
Shi Meilan had just taken a look when she heard Chen Chunxiang whisper beside her, "His name is Yuan Yao. His father and mine are good friends. We can be considered childhood sweethearts. He's very handsome, isn't he? If he hadn't been coming to this factory, I wouldn't have come here at all."
Hu Honghua, who was standing by, also leaned over to take a look, but couldn't make out what it was. She retracted her head, nodded repeatedly, and said, "It looks good."
Chen Chunxiang was unhappy and hit her with her fist, saying, "You are not allowed to say it looks good. Only I can say it looks good."
Hu Honghua was such a coward. After being hit, he turned from a three-dimensional coward into a flat little coward. He continued to nod cowardly and said, "It doesn't look good."
Chen Chunxiang was even more unhappy: "You are not allowed to say he is not good-looking! Yuan Yao is the best-looking! You should say he is [very good-looking but I don't like him]."
Hu Honghua nodded and repeated, "It looks good, but I don't like it."
Chen Chunxiang was finally satisfied. She said, "He will choose me as his personal secretary today."
Oh... so this is the one I chose.
While the two were talking, Yuan Yao had already come up from downstairs. Manager Lu also happened to be walking out of the office and walked quickly downstairs to greet Yuan Yao.
——
This is Yuan Yao's first time visiting the Chunfeng Garment Factory.
As soon as he got out of the car, the hot and stuffy air outside the window hit his face. He got out of the car with a frown, feeling a little dizzy.
He hadn't had a good rest these past few days, with all sorts of troubles weighing on his mind. He couldn't sleep at night, and everything was going wrong. He was plagued by irritability all the time, filling his whole body with a sense of vanity and restlessness.
Because he was dissatisfied with the current situation but could not change it immediately, he was immersed in anxiety.
After getting off the bus, I looked around - backward factories, rough office buildings, and scorching summer heat, every place was not to my liking.
He suppressed the annoyance in his heart and walked into the office building.
As soon as he walked into the front desk on the first floor, Manager Lu came down. After arriving, he started to flatter Shi Meilan. Just as Shi Meilan flattered Manager Sun, Manager Lu flattered Yuan Yao in the same way. But unfortunately, Yuan Yao didn't buy it.
He just thought Manager Lu was noisy.
When Manager Lu saw that Yuan Yao's face was not right, he immediately stopped these nice words and turned around to introduce the people in the four office buildings. The first floor was the lobby and reception area, and the second floor was the office. When the two of them walked to the second floor, the heads of the other three departments were already standing at the door with the people from the three departments.
The sales department had the most people and stood at the front, the secretarial department stood in the middle, and the design department stood at the back. After the three supervisors finished greeting each other, a group of employees bowed their heads and shouted, "Hello, Mr. Yuan."
When Shi Meilan bowed her head to greet him, she thought to herself, what a damn evil capitalism, it's just like the landlords. She had been working here for a few days and had to serve the ancestors a lot, bowing to everyone she met.
And the young Mr. Yuan who was bowed to had an indifferent look on his face towards all of them. His eyes swept through the crowd with a look of disdain. His face was full of arrogance of "I look down on you" and he did not hide it at all, showing his capitalist nature. Until his eyes swept across the secretariat, Mr. Yuan's eyes paused.
"He's looking at me." Chen Chunxiang's eyes sparkled. She lowered her head shyly and turned to share her girlish thoughts with Hu Honghua.
Hu Honghua looked up at this person, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's very beautiful, but Mr. Xiao Yuan, whom I don't like, is looking at you."
It's over. Hu Honghua didn't recognize him at all - but it's really hard to blame her. When they met in the village that day, Mr. Yuan had been hit and his head was covered in blood. Later, Doctor Qian smeared plasters all over his head. No one could recognize him.
While the two girls were muttering, Yuan Yao had already withdrawn his gaze and said, "Three supervisors, Manager Lu, come with me to the third floor for a meeting."
Those whose names were called shuddered and responded quickly, while the rest found a place to sit and continued their busy day's work.
——
At the same time, Li Jianye, who came to the town to have dinner with his friends, also met with his friends in the town.
Li Jianye has quite a few friends. After careful consideration, he can find four or five of them. Each of them is a teacher in the school. Even if they are not teachers, they are working in the logistics department of the school.
But unfortunately, after he finished his meal, his other friends said that the school had no shortage of teachers, so he had to return disappointed. He had used up all his money on meals and had no money left in his pocket to stay in a hotel, so he could only go to Chunfeng Garment Factory drunk.
He had to go find Wang Yulian and ask her for some more money, at least to stay in a hotel. He was a teacher and couldn't sleep on the streets.
