Chapter 142

Drink chicken soup

"Lina, please keep an eye on the woolen textile factory for us. I still have to go to the district government."

Early in the morning, Bao Manli was dressed very beautifully. When Chen Lina came upstairs, she gave her a sweet kiss right away.

"Secretary Bao, I am in charge of production and you are in charge of discipline. I have to tell you that at least twenty female workers were late this morning, and five of them were unable to get out of bed and slept in the dormitory. Last night, we also caught three of them secretly climbing over the wall to go out for a date. You have to solve all these problems." Chen Lina said.

"This kind of thing can't be solved by the workshop director, right?" Bao Manli was still busy trying to show her presence in front of District Chief Hu.

"No, you are the secretary, and you have to handle this kind of thing."

Chen Lina said as she threw the attendance sheet at Bao Manli. "Everyone needs to be called over for a talk, so that they can realize the seriousness of their mistakes. Also, to show your care as a leader, each talk must not be less than five minutes."

Well, Bao Manli is going to the district government to corrupt District Mayor Hu.

Miss Chen was successful and snatched Miss Bao away.

Miss Bao has always been the favorite type of men. She knows how to act coquettishly and softly, and can always make men show sympathy and care for her at critical moments.

But there is no way. Miss Chen has been a troublemaker all her life, a typical vixen. The only thing she can deal with is this kind of light green tea.

Not far away was the finance office. Anna was doing the accounting. Jiao Lai Di said to her, "Our Secretary Bao has connections up there. Why are you talking to the factory manager about money when you don't even know who her future husband will be? I think it's not good to upset your boss so early after you were just transferred in."

Anna was busy doing the accounts without raising her head. "I always believe that the people's will is the most important. Secretary Bao has someone above her, why not just give the wool textile factory to her and let her do whatever she wants with it? Why not just give her the 110,000 yuan in the account and spend it all. If it's public money, then she can't spend it recklessly."

"Anna, you are too straightforward, that's why you can't get married until today." Jiao Lai Di concluded, ending the argument between the two.

Meanwhile, Chen Lina was holding a meeting with the workshop directors. "No matter what kind of fabric, I want quality. I want it to not fade and not break after being worn for a long time. In other words, it must be strong and durable. The production standards from Hongyan must be strictly compared. I need to spot check out the unqualified ones. Whoever is found to be unqualified will be fired."

He Min is quite good at sales, but she just can't control the quality.

Just today, several people came to return goods, saying that the quality of the fabrics produced by the wool textile factory was too poor.

This forced Chen Lina to go to the workshop herself and take charge of quality control.

Bao Manli had only been here for two days and had already returned her brand new car to Chen Lina. She was already very angry, but when she saw Chen Lina in the workshop (wow, the coat she was wearing was so beautiful), she blocked her right away.

"Chen Lina, don't think I can't tell. This wool coat of yours must be worth at least 500 yuan. Chanel, some people don't know the value of goods, but I do. Why, you are so extravagant yourself, but you come here to pretend to be an honest official? I don't use my own money to be extravagant. I am doing this to expand the sales of our wool textile factory. You don't let me buy a car, so why are you so extravagant?"

"Secretary Bao, I have to tell you that I have been wearing this cashmere coat for five years. It is true that I spent 500 yuan to buy it, which is my ten-month salary. I have nothing to hide from others. I also have to say that if you wear all branded clothes, I will not say a word to you, as long as the money you spend is earned from your own salary."

Chen Lina said, and directly took out an invoice and slammed it on the table. "Want to see it? This is the invoice when Director Du bought clothes from Guangzhou. I can also produce my monthly salary sheet from four years ago. I can prove that this coat of mine came from a clean source."

"Lina has been wearing this coat for four or five years. I can testify to this," said He Min.

"But you, Secretary Bao, your coat is much more expensive than mine. This kind of mink fur is out of stock on the market now. And your earrings, wow, I really want to check the price." Chen Lina said.

Bao Manli touched her earring and dared not speak.

International brands cost dozens of dollars each, which is a month’s salary for the young textile workers in the factory.

So, after get off work at noon, Bao Manli, who was extremely depressed, went to find Leng Qi.

"That Chen Lina is against me in everything. It's so annoying," she said.

"Look at you. It turns out that you can't tolerate others in the dance troupe. It's not you who said that. You can't dance forever. Sooner or later, you will fall to the ground. Why can't you stand it after only working for a few days?"

"Forget it, I can't talk to you about this. At first, everyone said that Leng Qi was ambitious and could be promoted. Now it seems that you are just a puppy raised by Chen Lina."

When Leng Qi heard the word puppy, he felt that this was a sore spot for him, so he said directly, "Go, go, go, hurry up, I'm busy here and don't have time to entertain you."

Last night, he went to a small Sichuan restaurant to eat hotpot, and ran into Anna and Yu Donghai who were also having dinner there. The two of them sat together, eating and chatting, and they had a very interesting conversation.

Leng Qi was very angry, but for the sake of his reputation, he said nothing and watched the couple finish their meal. He did not even step forward to say hello until Yu Donghai sent Anna back to the woolen textile factory.

Of course, I was angry all night and couldn't sleep. I even dreamed that I pressed Anna on the desk.

Well, she was drinking coffee and eating bear cookies, and he was working in a very unpromising way.

Just this morning, the people from the armed forces were doing morning exercises and had to pass by the woolen textile factory. When they passed by, they saw Yu Donghai standing outside the iron gate with breakfast in his hand, which was for Anna.

Anna is tall and pretty. She dressed up specially this morning. People would believe her if she said she was eighteen. Who would believe that she was divorced?

Leng Qi couldn't help it now, so he ran to the entrance of the woolen textile factory after get off work at noon and blocked Anna to ask her about the situation between her and Yu Donghai.

As a result, Anna gave him a brilliant remark: "Didn't you say that if you come to me again, you'll be a dog, or the kind that eats shit?"

So, Bao Manli's words made Leng Qi angry.

Because he suddenly realized that he had really become the kind of dog he hated the most.

At present, in addition to the fact that she and Chen Lina can't even pee in the same pot, Bao Manli has another urgent matter. That is, she is not in a hurry to marry Hu Xuanang.

But Hu Xuanang's wife had just passed away due to nuclear pollution. The scene of her death was unforgettable for him. So, although he was talking to Bao Manli, he never agreed to get married.

Bao Manli encountered obstacles everywhere in her work and could not find a breakthrough in her marriage.

After thinking it over, she called Ma Xiaofang, Leng Qi's nominal wife who was now the leader of the team for redressing unjust, false and wrong cases, who was far away in Hongyan.

"Manli, your idea is right, but your actions are completely wrong. Lao Hu has a bright future. He is a reserve cadre that the higher-ups are cultivating and will join the leadership team in the future.

Moreover, his ex-wife is a great contributor to our missile research and development system and has first-class professional ability. If you don’t show your professional ability, how can others look up to you? "Ma Xiaofang said on the phone.

Bao Manli held the phone and said, "Xiaofang, what do you think I should do?"

"You usually play it off, but if you have any merit, take it. Don't dress like a peacock, dress simply. Most importantly, you must perform better than that Chen Lina. If you can be named a March 8th Red Flag Bearer this year, I think you two have a chance."

What bothers Bao Manli the most is work, what she likes the most is wearing beautiful clothes, and of course, what she wants most is to be in the spotlight.

But on second thought, for the long-term goal, I can only endure it.

"Okay, I'll pretend to be dead first. Hu Xuanang will be inspecting our woolen textile factory soon anyway. I'll find a way to force Chen Lina away then." Bao Manli said.

Ma Xiaofang said, "That's right. The reason I can achieve this is not because of my high level of knowledge or outstanding academic performance, but because no one can steal my limelight at the critical moment. You say you are afraid of a pregnant woman, isn't that a joke?"

Chen Lina didn't know that in the same work team, Bao Manli didn't want to do any work, but only wanted to steal her limelight.

After being busy for half a day, at noon, I stretched my body and thought, life is so fulfilling.

"Although I was very happy on the first day we worked together, but, Yee Gong, I'm a pregnant woman, not seriously ill. Could you please stop running to the state-owned hotel to make chicken soup for me every day? A chicken costs five yuan. If you keep eating it, we'll go bankrupt." At noon, when she saw that it was chicken soup again, Chen Lina was unhappy.

"If you want to drink, I can stew ten for you a day. At most, I'll have a few more yellow croakers. Can I, Nie Bozhao, be short of money for a pregnant woman?" Seeing that she still refused to eat, Nie Gong said, "Okay, the children have it, drink yours quickly."

Smiling at Miss Chen finishing her chicken soup, the laborer said, "I have something else to do this afternoon, so I probably won't be back to the textile factory. You can take care of the children and let them go to school by themselves."

"What are you going to do now?"

After Miss Chen became pregnant, the worker became more and more gentle and considerate.

After only a few days at work, the girls in the entire textile factory were saying that although Engineer Nie appeared to be serious on the outside, he was actually a henpecked man.

"I can't do anything else, but I can help you solve your problems." The worker said, turned around and went out to clean the enamel pot before leaving.

This textile factory also has dormitories, and one was allocated to Chen Lina. Now, the children don’t need to go back to the base at noon and can take a nap directly in Chen Lina’s dormitory.

Sandan just transferred to the mining area primary school today. After entering the school, he tilted his head and looked at Chen Lina for a while with a smile, as if he was looking at his first love, and then he threw himself into her arms.

At the same time, two people jumped up and said, "Dandan, be careful, she's pregnant."

Well, Liu Xiaohong and Nie Weimin jumped up almost at the same time.

Nie Weimin was the eldest after all, so after coaxing Sandaner to eat, he said, "Come, let's squeeze together and have a good sleep. We have to go to school in the afternoon. Did anyone bully you in elementary school today?"

Sandan ignored his brother, walked around the dormitory, and said, "Mom, let's live here from now on. We won't go back to the base, okay?"

A single dormitory. Because Chen Lina's family has many children, they asked for two single beds put together. Besides the bed, there was a washbasin rack for hanging face towels and a very narrow little desk.

He Min was going to the dormitory to rest, but when she passed by, she saw that Chen Lina's dormitory was so crowded that she couldn't even move her feet. She opened the window and said, "Director Chen, I can't apply for another dormitory for you. Isn't this one too crowded?"

"He, Director He, you are abusing your authority. So many girls can't get a dormitory. I have this one room, which is enough. Go quickly."

Look, I went to sleep at noon.

With four children and one adult, Erdan and Sandan had to squeeze around Chen Lina, one on the left and one on the right, and the three of them didn't take up much space.

But unfortunately for Nie Weimin, he actually didn't want to sleep with Liu Xiaohong.

But Erdan was squeezed in between the windows, and couldn't get in, so he could only lean on the edge of the bed.

"Mom, I want to live here too. I saw He Junqiang and his mom living in the dormitory. It's so much fun living together." Erdan also said.

It feels so good to depend on each other.

"That's right, Mom, let's not go back to the base, okay?" Sandan squeezed closer to his mother and thought, it feels so good to sleep with his mother.

"No, if we don't go back to the base, what will happen to your father?" Chen Lina rubbed the left side, pinched the right side, and gave each of them a sweet kiss, and the two little boys fell asleep.

"Nie Weimin, can you please sleep well and stop moving?" Liu Xiaohong was holding Sandan in her arms. She felt that Nie Weimin was moving around, so she quietly turned over and said.

How to say it, the more the young man looked at Liu Xiaohong, the more uncomfortable he felt, especially when he saw her sleeping, with her long eyelashes and soft red lips.

Xiao Nie turned over and sat up.

"If you don't sleep, aren't you afraid of falling asleep in the afternoon?" Liu Xiaohong wasn't asleep either.

"I can't sleep. I'll go outside and read for a while. You guys go to sleep." Nie Weimin whispered.

"Tell me, what did you and Sister Gao watch yesterday?" Liu Xiaohong grabbed Nie Weimin.

"You little girl, you meddle too much. Go to bed quickly." Nie Weimin said.

Liu Xiaohong curled her lips and said, "Don't think I don't know about "Gone with the Wind and Rain". Sister Gao said she still has it. As long as I help her with her duty, she will lend it to me."

Having said that, she turned around.

Nie Weimin yelled and grabbed Liu Xiaohong's ear, "That's love. If you dare to look at that kind of thing, I'll beat you to death."

Liu Xiaohong turned over and pointed at his nose, her eyes seeming to say, "You're watching too, so why do you care about me?"

The girl actually dared to watch love movies. Nie Weimin was as shocked and unbelievable as Chen Lina was when she found out that he was watching pornographic movies.

But how should he teach this little girl who knows nothing?

…

As for Leng Qi, he drove his big jeep all day long, and showed off outside the woolen textile factory as soon as he got off work.

Of course, he thought he was definitely not a dog, but at noon, even without a rope around his neck, he would come again.

His car was too conspicuous, so he had to park it in the alley between two residential buildings not far away.

Most of the textile workers bring their own lunch at noon. They can rest for two hours at noon. Some girls will take a nap, while others will go out shopping. Of course, since they are all grown-up girls, many of them will go on dates.

No, he hid behind a tree and saw Anna coming out of the woolen factory at a glance.

The young man Yu Donghai was accompanying him. This young man had recently been stationed in the wool textile factory, teaching the large machine repair team how to repair machinery. Oh, impulse is the devil. Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Leng Qi almost rushed over.

But he didn't, he had to hold it in.

He turned around and jogged back to his car.

But when I opened the car door, I found someone sitting inside, wearing headphones and tuning a channel.

"Bo Zhao, you dare to pry open my car door, are you crazy? I will send you to a military court." Leng Qi said.

Nie Gong smiled and said, "You are the one who should be brought to court-martial. You dared to install eavesdropping devices in the offices of Secretary Ah and District Chief Hu. You eavesdropped on the leaders. You should be shot."

"I'm in a hurry, let me listen first." Leng Qi said, and pushed the worker over with his butt.

Nie Gong was also anxious. "I have to catch the thief who stole my thesis. If nothing unexpected happens, this person will have a connection with someone today. Leng Qi, the spy, I can catch him soon, I'll go first."

"Let me listen first, and then I'll give you two packs of Chinese cigarettes." Leng Qi said, and snatched the headphones away.

Leng Qi adjusted the band. At first there was a lot of noise, and soon Yu Donghai's voice came into the headphones.

"Comrade Anna, I really think you are a good comrade. I didn't expect that you would have such a profound and clear understanding of society and the current situation in the mining area. I really don't mind that you have been divorced once. What do you think of me?"

Leng Qi's hair stood up and he took a step back with his back bent. Just as he was about to listen to Anna's answer, there was no sound in the earphones.

He took off his headphones. Well, Anna's voice was very clear, ringing outside.

The bastard Nie Bozhao unplugged the earphones. Now the two of them were listening together.

"Since you want to propose, I have to be honest with you. I have to tell you that not only have I been married once, I have also had several not-so-innocent relationships with a married man. Of course, we have broken up now, but I am very disgusted with my own behavior. Can you accept this?"

Leng Qi was stunned, and Nie Gong was also stunned.
