Ling Ju resumed her normal commuting. Song Wei sent a car to pick her up from get off work every day, and she fully enjoyed the treatment of being the daughter-in-law of the Song family.
After a peaceful half month, December arrived in a blink of an eye, and the weather was getting colder and colder. The howling northwest wind was raging, and the Siberian cold current was even more fierce in this era.
Ling Ju stopped her dieting habit of not eating at night.
The weather is so cold that her appetite has improved. She is now over 120 pounds, not very thin, and this weight is healthy.
Things are going smoothly at the factory. They have already started estimating next year's costs and sales. Song Wei also goes to the factory every day for the first time in his life.
Hu Wei also found a young assistant for Ling Ju, a 20-year-old girl named Zhen Zhen, who worked in the same office with Ling Ju.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Hu Wei brought Zhen Zhen to Ling Ju's office. "Let me introduce you. This is Ling Ju, currently the person in charge of our factory's southern sales. Ling Ju, this is Zhen Zhen. From now on, you will be my assistant!"
Ling Ju quickly stood up. The girl in front of her was wearing a gray cotton coat, black pants, and a red plaid scarf. She had short hair with bangs, round eyes that were very energetic, and rosy and healthy skin. She even had two dimples when she smiled. What a lovely girl.
"Hello Zhen Zhen! I'm Ling Ju, you can call me Orange. How old are you this year?"
"Hello, I'm 20 years old! I just had my 20th birthday a few days ago."
"Then you are a few months older than me, so call me Orange from now on!"
"OK!"
"Then you two can get acquainted with each other. I'll be leaving first. Zhen Zhen, if you need anything, you can come to me. Your desk will be delivered to you soon."
“Okay, thank you, Manager Hu.”
"You are welcome!"
After Hu Wei left, Ling Ju pulled Zhen Zhen to sit down and poured her a cup of hot water.
"Zhen Zhen, where are you from? I don't think your accent sounds like a local."
“I’m an introspective person.”
"Oh, Red Mountain people? That sounds a bit like them."
"Yes. After graduating from high school, I worked in the cement factory in my hometown. Later, because of my uncle's job transfer, I came to Liaoning Province."
"Don't you live with your parents?"
Zhen Zhen took a sip of water and smiled faintly, "My parents died early, and I grew up living with my uncle and aunt."
Ling Ju felt a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, my uncle and aunt are like my real parents."
There was a knock on the door, and it was someone coming to deliver the table.
After setting the table, Zhen Zhen sat opposite Ling Ju with his back to the door.
"I'll find you some information. Our factory is just starting out, so nothing's particularly complicated. Just read more and get more exposure, and you'll be able to get started quickly. If you have any questions, just ask me. If I'm not around, you can ask Brother Hu. By the way, where do you live?"
"I live in the dormitory. My uncle's place is a bit far from the factory, so I moved to the dormitory."
"Okay, have you got your dorm supplies ready?"
"Yeah, the bedding was distributed by the factory, and my uncle and aunt prepared everything else and brought it over!"
Three days after Zhen Zhen came, Ling Ju gave her a small test. Unexpectedly, she got all 30 questions right. When she was tested by Hu Wei, she got two questions wrong.
"Amazing, Zhen Zhen, full marks!"
"Hey, thank you!"
Looking at the big smile and dimples on the short-haired girl's face, she is like a little sun, full of energy.
Leaning closer, he asked quietly, "Zhen Zhen, do you have a boyfriend?"
Zhen Zhen was very serious. "No, the quality of men varies. I haven't considered finding a partner yet. My current goal is to make money! A lot of money!"
"Ambition!" Alas, unlike her, she has already got a marriage certificate after only a few days here.
"Orange, what about you?"
"I've been married for almost five months."
"What does your husband do?"
"An officer of the army."
"Wow, your husband must be quite the fighter then! Lots of muscle!"
"Yes, he's a good fighter."
Zhen Zhen gave a thumbs up. Ling Ju saw that it was almost noon and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
After they finished their meal in the cafeteria, they returned to the office to rest. Ling Ju decided to take Zhen Zhen to the workshop in the afternoon to familiarize herself with the people there.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the two went to the workshop.
After getting familiar with the two workshops, it was already 5:30 when I returned to the office. It was almost time to get off work.
There was a knock on the door, and then a cold and handsome face poked its head in.
Ling Ju didn't expect Song Qi to come over. When she was getting dressed, Song Qi knocked on the door. The tall man was handsome in a military uniform. He was holding a pair of women's white wool gloves and a white wool scarf in his hands. When he saw that there was a stranger in the room, he stood at the door without moving.
"Why are you here?"
"I happened to be in the county town on business, so I picked you up."
"Zhen Zhen, I'm leaving now! You should hurry back to the dormitory too!"
"Okay Orange, bye!"
Song Qi nodded to Zhen Zhen and left with Ling Ju.
Song Qi drove here today and took Ling Ju straight to Song Wei.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Song Qi put on gloves and a scarf for her. "What are you doing in the county?"
"It's about the army." That means I can't tell you.
"Oh, where did you buy the gloves and scarf? They're so warm!"
"After I finished my work, there was a shop nearby, so I went in to take a look. Wife, when I get some time off, I'll take you clothes shopping. Your current clothes are too big. This pair of trousers can only fit both of your legs, and they're definitely windproof."
"Okay, my old clothes were indeed too baggy. I had my waist altered several times. If I wasn't so busy, I would have bought them a long time ago. I'll wait until you have time!"
"Let's go this weekend if we have nothing to do. Let's go to Big Brother's place tonight."
"Well, well, it seems like you and your brother haven't seen each other in a while. You two are very busy people."
