Chapter 25 He loves her, loves her aggressiveness, loves her arrogance...
The incandescent light in the office was glaring with a cold-toned halo, making Shi Meilan's pretty round face look pale. She took out a folder and searched back and forth for it.
The pages of the document collided with each other, making a rustling sound. She spread it out and looked at it eagerly, wishing she could suddenly pull that page out from the gap in the folder, but she couldn't find it.
I flipped through the folder in my hand over and over again, just one page was missing.
She looked back at the office.
Manager Sun, who had just spoken to her, had disappeared, and the cleaner had also left with the fertilizer bag. Now she was the only one in the entire office.
A chill ran up her spine, and Shi Meilan's head was filled with the words that Manager Sun had just said.
"This is the order that Mr. Yuan finally got."
"Mr. Chen is really hard to deal with."
"This order alone is enough to sustain our factory for half a year."
"Mr. Yuan attaches great importance to this order and just finished a meeting this afternoon."
The words that Manager Sun said kept turning around in Shi Meilan's mind, like an invisible needle, piercing Shi Meilan's body fiercely, making Shi Meilan feel uneasy. She didn't even dare to look back, for fear that if she turned around, a needle would poke her eyeballs out.
She walked around her desk twice, searching through all the drawers and cabinets.
She wondered if she had just opened the folder and lost it while opening it. That thin piece of paper might have drifted there.
She pushed her chair away, flipped through all the documents on the table, and flipped through them one by one, but she still couldn't find the piece of paper. Shi Meilan squatted on the ground anxiously and started searching under the desk.
Can't find it, can't find it anywhere.
Shi Meilan squatted on the ground, layers of cold sweat oozing from her back.
If such an important thing was lost from her hands, she would definitely not be able to stay in this garment factory. What would she do if she was fired?
She dared to divorce Li Jianye and mess up the Li family because she had this way out. Now if the way out is gone, she will be finished.
She couldn't go back to the Li family, but she couldn't go back to the Shi family either - she knew better than anyone that there was no place for her in the Shi family, and her parents were unwilling to bear all the responsibilities of a daughter who married out, so she really had nowhere to go.
She couldn't lose this job.
Until one moment, a picture flashed through Shi Meilan's mind.
In the trash can that was emptied by the cleaning staff, there lay a crumpled piece of document paper.
She stood up quickly and ran to the stairwell on the first floor.
The front desk staff on the first floor had already left, and a replacement would arrive soon. There was no one around, so she ran over to the cleaning staff, who were about to leave. Seeing them, she hurriedly said, "I just dropped a document in the trash can. Could you let me look for it first?"
The cleaner said, "Ouch!" and said, "I've already dumped the trash in the trash can behind the office building. How about you go look in the trash can?"
Shi Meilan hurried to the trash can outside again.
There is a large trash can in the factory for garbage. It is placed behind the office building and not far from the canteen. Someone comes to collect the canteen's kitchen waste and other garbage every morning.
When Shi Meilan arrived, there was no one around. There was only the colorful sky in the west and a trash can that emitted a strange smell.
There are four trash cans in total, all of which are very large, almost reaching Shi Meilan's chest. This broken trash can is big enough to fit a person, and it is placed there silently. Because it contains a lot of garbage, the edges are black and yellow.
Shi Meilan took a deep breath, went up and started flipping.
Garbage was piled up, dirty smelly water was flowing from her hands, and her heels began to ache from stepping too hard in her leather shoes. But Shi Meilan did not dare to stop for a moment. She just hoped to find the contract paper she was looking for as soon as possible.
She was turning over in the sweat when she suddenly heard someone calling her from behind: "Shi Meilan?"
Shi Meilan turned around in fear and saw Hu Chengjun carrying a cloth bag and walking towards her from a distance. He asked as he walked towards her, "Did you find it?"
Under the colorful clouds, Hu Chengjun's white sweatshirt was shining with a golden luster, and he was walking towards her.
At that time, Shi Meilan was leaning on the trash can and rummaging inside. She didn't care whether it was dirty or not. She was surprised when she turned around and saw Hu Chengjun.
"Why are you here?" Shi Meilan turned her head to look at him and asked.
This garment factory generally does not allow outsiders to enter. The security guards at the door patrol and stand guard 24 hours a day. Anyone who comes in must have their identity checked. It is obvious that Hu Chengjun is not a member of the factory.
"I gave the security guard some cigarettes." Hu Chengjun frowned as he walked over and said to Shi Meilan, "When I came in looking for you, the cleaner told me you were here."
The security guard at the door actually doesn't stop everyone. He has been outside for so long that he naturally knows how to get people to let him in.
He was delivering meat to everyone in the town and doing business with people, so he definitely had to deal with people. It wasn't difficult for him to get a job in a garment factory. At most, he just had to say a few nice words and give them a couple of cigarettes.
He could talk to the security guards and the cleaning staff, and after a few words he found out where Shi Meilan was going, and then followed her.
It's just that he doesn't speak in front of Shi Meilan most of the time, which makes Shi Meilan think that he is a very clumsy person, but in fact, Hu Chengjun is unexpectedly smooth at certain times.
He walked up to her and said, "Come here, I'll turn the trash can over."
This huge trash can was extremely heavy. Shi Meilan couldn't turn it over by herself, so she could only lean over to look for it. But it was much easier for Hu Chengjun to do it. He was so strong that he could drag a pig, let alone a trash can.
Shi Meilan moved away from the trash can and took the cloth bag from Hu Chengjun's hand. She looked down and found that it contained several boxes of food.
Shi Meilan then remembered that Hu Chengjun had said in the morning that he would bring her dinner in the evening, but later she had too many things to do and had forgotten about it.
She was extremely tired at the time. She stepped back from the trash can, her legs weak, so she simply stood against the wall of the four office buildings and took a short rest.
She rested, but Hu Chengjun worked even faster. He turned the trash can over and over in his hands, digging out all the garbage inside. As he did so, he asked, "What are you looking for?"
"A ball of paper." Shi Meilan leaned against the wall, her eyes wide open as she spoke. "A ball of document paper."
She wasn't actually sure if it was the piece of paper, but no matter whether it was or not, this was the only way. If she really couldn't find it today, she would be punished tomorrow.
Being fined in wages is a small matter. She is afraid of being fired. She does not have a city hukou and cannot find another job in the city. She seems unable to find another person who will take her money and give her a job.
People are always worried and afraid when faced with unknown panic. Her heart was raised to her throat and could not fall down for a long time, so it pressed against her trachea. She had to inhale deeply and exhale heavily with every breath she took.
When I was doing this job before, I looked down on this crappy job in every way. I felt that this job was not good at all and these colleagues were very annoying. Now that I have gotten into trouble, I suddenly love this job to death and don’t want to leave at all.
She held the lunch box in her hand, but her mind was empty as she thought about the past events.
She was sure that she had not crumpled up the documents in her hand and thrown them away today.
"It might not be here either." Shi Meilan leaned against the wall, feeling somewhat hopeless. She pinched her brows and said, "I don't know where it went."
"It's okay." Hu Chengjun said, "Look here first. If you can't find it, look somewhere else."
Shi Meilan saw that he was looking for something for her and wanted to stand over and look with him, but her heart felt heavy, as if she was being pressed down by a huge rock. She couldn't move and could only stand there passively.
She didn't say anything, but was discovered by Hu Chengjun in just a few seconds. Hu Chengjun looked up at her and saw Shi Meilan standing against the wall with a pale face.
She is usually such a high-spirited person, but today she is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. Hu Chengjun looked at her and felt a slight pain in his heart.
He still preferred to see her aggressively arguing with others, cursing behind others' backs, plotting against others without them knowing, and even adorably climbing up the window to watch a play, unlike now. He felt sorry for her.
Hu Chengjun pursed his lips and asked her as he searched, "Is it serious?"
Shi Meilan hung her head and said, "I might be fired."
Hu Chengjun hummed and said, "I have a job. If you get fired, I'll find another one. If you have nothing to do, you can come to me and I'll give you the shop."
Shi Meilan laughed at what he said: "Such an expensive shop, you give it to me?"
She couldn't even think about buying something worth a thousand dollars.
"Here you go." Hu Chengjun didn't even look up. He lowered his head and dug out a piece of trash from the ground. He unfolded it and looked at it while saying, "I'm transferring it to you."
If Shi Meilan could be happier about this, he could give her the store. After all, he was a man and would not starve wherever he went. He could still save money by going to the mountains.
Hu Chengjun has a kind of "dedication" behavior that is almost stupid. At times, he is very similar to Hu Honghua. People exclaim "Does this guy have no brains?" But when you look at his deep eyes, you feel that he seems to understand everything, but still does it.
Shi Meilan couldn't help but lose her mind.
Anyone who sees Hu Chengjun's true colors will be distracted for a moment. Hidden beneath his silent face is a rolling and swimming tolerance as deep as the sea. If you rush in, you can feel her warmth.
When Shi Meilan was in a trance, a faint aroma of rice wafted out of the lunch box. The aroma floated around her, easing her pain a little. When she raised her head, she saw Hu Chengjun carefully turning over the garbage and searching one by one.
She suddenly thought that being liked by such a person was not a bad thing.
She was silent when Hu Chengjun suddenly turned over a piece of paper, stared at it for a while, then handed it to her and asked, "Look, is this it?"
Shi Meilan shuddered and stood up to take a look.

At the same time, Lin Xinran, who had done something bad, also returned to her dormitory.
When she returned to the dormitory, she saw Wang Yulian changing out of her work clothes and walking out of the dormitory.
She knew that her mother was going to meet Li Jianye.
