Chapter 211: You ignored me yesterday, but I am out of your league today
Shen Meng said hello to Yu Shirley and took Wu Xianglan to the textile factory. The security guard had seen her before, especially last night when Director Hu Biao came to greet him personally, and told him to be polite and invite Comrade Shen Meng in. So when he saw Shen Meng this time, he greeted her very warmly, which shocked Wu Xianglan.
"Sister-in-law, does this master know you?"
"Oh, this master let you in because Comrade Hu Biao greeted him and knew that I was going to take you to work today. Don't peek. Be open and honest when you look at people. You are really too sneaky."
Wu Xianglan felt a little embarrassed. She didn't want to do this. Wasn't she afraid that people in the county would scold her?
Because Hu Biao had greeted her, the man who came to pick up Wu Xianglan was polite. He took her to get a set of work clothes and went into the workshop to prepare for work. Shen Meng stuffed him with a handful of candy and pulled Wu Xianglan aside.
“Xianglan, take this candy. Be sweet-mouthed when you meet people and get along well with them. You must always remember to get along well with others, otherwise when Zhou Jiaojiao comes in, she will probably make things difficult for you.”
“Okay, sister-in-law, I’ll remember that. You go and do your work. I think this elder sister is an honest person and won’t make things difficult for me.”
Shen Meng looked at the sharp-nosed, monkey-faced, and unusually shrewd woman. Wu Xianglan thought such a person was honest. How could she open her mouth to squeeze out the candy when she faced this pure and beautiful face of hers? ? ?
"Okay, you can handle it yourself. I'm leaving now. I'll be late."
Wu Xianglan sighed as she watched Shen Meng's back getting farther and farther away. She stroked the work clothes she had just received in her hands and felt very happy. She hadn't done any work yet, but she had already been given a set of work clothes made of such good fabric. If she wore it back to the village, all the young and old men and women in the village would be so jealous!!!
"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly, it's time to work."
"Hey, here I am, elder sister. I just got here and I don't know anything. You have to take care of me in the future. This is the candy my sister-in-law bought from Haicheng. Try it. You can't buy it in the supply and marketing cooperatives in our county."
The elder sister, who was a little impatient while waiting, immediately looked much better when she saw the candy just stuffed into her hands. She took Wu Xianglan's hand and called her sister.
Shen Meng arrived at the workplace and saw a lot of snacks piled on her desk. She immediately looked around the office and her workstation. If it weren't for the pink mirror above, which happened to be hers, she would have thought she had gone to the wrong place.
"What are you standing for? The tickets for your train are about to start selling. Hurry up and sit over there. I've poured hot water into your cup. It's just the right temperature now. Drink some slowly."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Are you in such a hurry? Didn't Xiao Meng just get to work? Take a good rest first and catch your breath. If you want to buy a ticket, wait. If you can't wait, don't buy it!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Meng, I got you a bag of red dates on your table. These red dates are really good, big and sweet. The ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative are not as good as the bag I got you."
"And me, and me. I got you a box of peach cakes. I rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. You are new here, so we should get to know you better. But I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to say hello to you."
..........
A group of people surrounded Shen Meng and started to get close to her. When these women saw Shen Meng enter the office yesterday, they seemed not to see her. Now they have smiles on their faces and seem very enthusiastic.
Wei Jia stood in the outermost circle with a glass of water. She wanted to get close to Shen Meng but couldn't. She looked angry. These people are so funny. They ignored Shen Meng yesterday, but today they are trying to get close to her. Seeing
that a group of people had already arrived at the ticket hall, and these people didn't go to their workstations yet, Shen Meng directly opened the small window on his workstation.
"I'm about to start selling tickets, everyone go get busy, we'll talk at noon, these things are very precious, thank you all for your life."
"What are you thanking me for? The candies you gave me yesterday were rare. I took them home to feed my children. My father-in-law said that they were given by the Friendship Hotel in Haicheng to entertain foreign guests."
"Wow, is this true? Shen Meng, what kind of background do you have to have candies for foreign guests? Have you ever met foreign guests?"
"What's so rare about them? Foreign guests are nothing more than a nose and two eyes. But it's mainly because Shen Meng is capable. The one yesterday was the son of the director of a textile factory, and today he..."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."
They talked to Shen Meng for a while, and saw that she was just smiling, and didn't say much useful information even when she opened her mouth to speak. They couldn't help but ask directly. Their families also had complicated relationships, but who could be as close as Shen Meng? The son-in-law of a county official directly called her sister and brought her food. This alone could show that Shen Meng had a very good relationship with the county official Li family. It's possible that Shen Meng's identity as a countryman was just a smokescreen, and in fact, the people in the Li family might be afraid of her!
But the eldest sister just now was too direct, and someone next to her interrupted her immediately.
"Comrade, I want to buy a ticket from Ning County to the provincial capital. This is a letter of introduction. How much is it?"
"Oh, comrade, let me see your letter of introduction and confirm it. Okay, here is the ticket. The total price is 20 cents."
Seeing that Shen Meng started working, everyone hurried back to their workstations. It was indeed time to go to work, and they did not dare to be too blatant. If they slacked off at work, Shen Meng would mention it to the county officials, and their bright future would be ruined.
As soon as the tickets for the two trains were sold out, Shen Meng went to Fu Meili's office and then went out with her lunch box. Everyone in the office looked at her, feeling a little disappointed. Going out with her lunch box meant that no one came to bring her lunch today. For a moment, everyone thought that maybe the director guessed wrong, or maybe she just happened to know Comrade Hu and had nothing to do with the Li family.
Not long after Shen Meng left the bus company, she found a deserted place and went into the space. She had a good meal of spicy hot pot and drank a bottle of Beibingyang. She lay comfortably for 20 minutes before she started to work.
She put the baby formula into an old iron can, then found a large snakeskin bag, tied it with tape, and carried it on her shoulder back to the office.
As soon as I arrived at the hall, I saw two people surrounding Hu Biao. It looked like Hu Biao was very impatient. When he saw Shen Meng, his eyes were bright.
"Sister Meng, I'm here to bring you food again. Today is..."
"Didn't I tell you not to bring it yesterday? I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and had a big bowl of noodles. Now I can't eat dragon meat."
Hu Biao didn't say anything. He stared at the snakeskin bag she was carrying with his eyes sparkling. He couldn't hide his joy at all. That was all food for his son!
