He Jing felt that she should also devote herself to her career. She wanted to be like He Yi and never forget her original aspirations.
She submitted her graduation report and applied for a job at the local chemical research institute. Despite the large number of applicants, she was selected based on her exceptional abilities and officially became a member of the institute. She was assigned to the energy group.
The organization she belongs to has a total of ten people. The group leader is an elderly chemistry PhD, Lao Ji, who is over 60 years old this year. His most outstanding disciple is surnamed Wang, and everyone calls him Xiao Wang.
He Jing came later, so he should be addressed as "Senior Brother Wang".
Xiao Wang waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. There aren't that many rules in our office. Just call me Brother Wang."
He Jing found him strangely approachable, and felt that his personality was somewhat similar to someone she knew. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was Wu Yufenyu. She smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Wang."
Xiao Wang rubbed his hands together and looked at Lao Ji expectantly, saying, "Uncle Ji, look, our group finally has a new member. Shouldn't we organize a team-building activity?"
God knows how long he had been waiting for this day!
Their chemical research institute is one of the most famous state-owned enterprises in the country, and correspondingly, their work atmosphere is extremely dull, with the saying "three less and one more" circulating.
The so-called "three less" refers to less money, less fakes, and fewer junior sisters, while the "one more" refers to a lot of trouble.
They say the 9-to-5 schedule and weekends off are great, but in reality, they spend 350 out of 365 days a year at their workstations, and they haven't spent a single penny on team building activities.
Old Ji knew what these young people were thinking. The Chemical Research Institute bore the responsibility of national development and construction, so naturally the pressure was greater than in other companies. However, the team building activities had been postponed again and again, and today, with the arrival of new people, Old Ji did not want to spoil the mood, so he said, "Alright."
Xiao Wang was so happy he almost jumped up. The other colleagues who had been listening intently also breathed a sigh of relief. They felt like they hadn't seen the sun outside in a long time, even if it was just the setting sun.
Xiao Wang called out to the other group members and asked them, "Where should we go to eat?"
This question delighted everyone, and they all responded:
"Hey, I know a pretty good barbecue restaurant."
"Why eat barbecue on such a hot day? Let's go for a drink."
"Our goose is allergic to alcohol, so let's forget about it. How about we find a private restaurant instead? I know one that's pretty good."
...
Unlike those straight men, Lao Ji lowered his head and asked, "Xiao Jing, what do you want to eat?"
He Jingcai had just arrived, so she didn't know how to express her opinion. She said in a very good-natured manner, "I'm fine with anything. I'm not picky about food. I can drink alcohol and eat spicy food."
Old Ji thought for a moment and said, "Then how about we go to the Quiet Hotel?"
The Quiet Restaurant was the one owned by He Zhou, and He Jing was somewhat surprised to hear the name.
Then Lao Ji slowly explained, "When the people from the capital came here on business, they took advantage of the break to eat their way through the entire city of A, and they only raved about the Quiet Restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang's eyelids twitched, and he exclaimed loudly, "Old Ji, you can't eat this!"
His words carried a hint of panic, causing Lao Ji and He Jing to both look at him.
Xiao Wang said with a worried look, "The Anjing Restaurant has raised its prices. A meal used to cost only 80 yuan, but now you can't even fill your stomach without spending 800 yuan."
He used to be a big fan of the Quiet Restaurant, who would have thought... sigh!
He Jing raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised—
The price went up, how come she didn't know?
Is this even possible?
