Chapter 51 Chapter 51 "I came to find you, I miss my son...
Charlie cursed inwardly as she watched him walk away. What had happened to her? What were they planning to do to her?
What kind of hysteria is Fang Dechuan having?
If looks could kill, then this man surnamed Fang would have been torn to pieces by her gaze.
Xia Li turned her head viciously and kicked the outer wall of the workshop with great force, then walked back to her post step by step.
"Xia Li, what does Director Fang want to see you about?" Before Xia Li reached her workstation, someone came over.
This is the team leader of another group in the workshop. Her name is Song Funan, and everyone calls her Sister Song.
He was a good person, and he had good relationships with everyone. For example, Xia Li and Miss Chen didn't have a good relationship, but both she and Miss Chen could talk to Song Funan.
Sister Song posed no threat to anyone at work and didn't compete for a higher position. Perhaps because she was older, she didn't have much of a competitive streak. All she did was work and keep up with the gossip going on at the factory.
Before, Xia Li would sometimes avoid her, and if they did run into her, she would just say hello. But if Sister Song had something she wanted to share deeply, Xia Li would find an excuse to slip away, otherwise it would really cause her a headache.
Seeing her approach like this today, Xia Li suddenly had an idea for some reason. Thinking of this, she turned to greet Song Funan, who was gradually approaching her. "Sister Song, what's up? Are you not busy right now?"
"Hey, what are you busy with? If we are busy every day, what do the people below do?" Song Funan said as if it was a matter of course, and then asked Xia Li what Fang Dechuan came here for?
Xia Li just let out a "Hi" and casually said, "I don't know what's going on with Director Fang. He's been looking for a girl from our group lately. Just now, he couldn't find her, and now she's sick and gone to see a doctor. He even asked me to do something, but he only said half a sentence and then left. I'm confused now."
Song Funan was also puzzled. "Why don't you tell me clearly what I want you to do? I thought Director Fang came to you to assign you some tasks."
"My dear sister, is there anything that can be hidden from your eyes? Director Fang wouldn't come here to tell us if he has good news. Is he that kind of person? It's more like bad things."
As soon as the words fell, both of them laughed quietly.
Song Funan casually glanced outside, then looked at Xia Li. "What's going on? Are you and Xiao Chen still on the same page? I talk to you two all day long, but you two act like enemies. After all, we see each other all the time, and it's fate that we two work in the same place."
Song Funan also meant well. Everyone would be staying in this factory for a long time in the future, and the time they would spend together might be longer than that spent with some of their relatives. Why was the relationship between the two so stiff and never eased?
Xia Li smiled helplessly, "Sister Song, don't worry about this. This isn't something that can be explained in just a few words. Besides, you said everything is fate. Maybe we're destined to be together. Whether we can reconcile or not is up to fate."
Song Funan: "Hey, you and Xiao Chen are quite similar in this respect. I told her the same thing before, and your answers were similar. Okay, I won't persuade her any further."
The workers in the workshop were all busy, buried in their workstations. Xia Li had already taken a break, but she didn't dare relax for too long. Even when she was talking, she had to occasionally glance at them, just in case someone called out to her.
Song Funan also knew this, but she didn't care much. She just glanced at the workshop door from time to time to avoid any leaders passing by outside.
"By the way, the female worker that Fang Dechuan came to see before was named Fang. I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have heard people from our side mention that those girls were talking secretly, and I heard it. What's the matter? Is it that girl and Fang Dechuan, huh?" She showed a meaningful expression.
Xia Li knew that although this elder sister was not a bad person, she was very talkative. Since this matter obviously involved the leader's affairs, how could she dare to say anything to her?
"I don't know about that, big sister, please don't ask me. What others say may not be true. When it comes to leaders, it's better for you to believe less."
"Why should we be so cautious about this? We won't tell anyone else."
Xia Li just listened to this and smiled. Anyone who believed it was a fool.
What she said to Song Funan at the beginning might have been a subconscious insurance policy for herself. She would rather keep the rest to herself.
Song Funan and Xia Li talked for a few minutes and then left. It was unclear whether they were going back to their posts or going somewhere else.
Xia Li stopped paying attention and continued working in the afternoon.
To be honest, it was quite strange. After listening to Song Funan's words of persuasion, she and Miss Chen were bumped into each other by the surging crowd of people returning home from work on their way home from work.
Miss Chen was still stylishly dressed, in an off-white shirt and a pale green long skirt with a beautiful drape. Xia Li was clearly a bit outdone by her, still wearing a long shirt and long pants. Although she had changed into high heels after work, which made her look more elegant, a thought suddenly occurred to her: she really should buy some clothes.
I haven’t been buying many new clothes lately.
Chen Ting was carrying her small bag. After being bumped, she quickly steadied herself, stood up, and shouted to the people crowded around her: "Slow down, please! Be careful not to fall down!"
The people who bumped into her were a few girls who were traveling together. Their faces were full of nervousness, and they kept saying to Chen Ting, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Chen Ting looked very impatient. "Is it just me you bumped into? There are others too!"
She turned her head and unexpectedly saw that it was Charlie who was next to her. She seemed to be rubbing her shoulders in a pretentious manner, so her expression changed several times.
Xia Li was also looking at the two people next to her. The two girls bumped into her from this side. She saw Chen Ting first and stared at her for a few seconds before she had time to talk to the two impulsive girls.
"You guys should be careful too. Don't squeeze in with so many people." Xia Li said, and then added: "Also, apologize to the two of us."
Xia Li obviously didn't look at Miss Chen, but her meaning was referring to Miss Chen and herself.
"Team Leader Chen, Team Leader Xia, I'm sorry. We will be more careful next time."
He nodded and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay, let's go." Everyone was getting off work, so it was better not to stand here near the door.
After hearing what they said, the girls quickly walked away without even turning their heads. Meanwhile, Xia Li and Miss Chen simply exchanged a glance before leaving without saying anything more.
But just after Xia Li walked out the door and took a few steps, she was stopped by Uncle Wu.
Xia Li walked to the security room at the door and stood there, smiling and talking. "Uncle Wu, what did you call me for?"
Uncle Wu stood inside the room, bent down and picked up something from under the table. He held it up for Xia Li to see: "Why, you don't want the chicken we agreed on? I took your money in advance, so I'll take it back if you don't want it."
Uncle Wu joked and pretended to put it down again.
"Hahaha, I want it, I want it. I didn't expect you to bring it today. You must be waiting for me after get off work. I'm really sorry to trouble you, Uncle Wu." Xia Li said with gratitude.
She watched Uncle Wu lift the chicken up and show it to her carefully.
"It's not a big deal. My husband and I are really happy that you like our chicken. Look, Xia Li, the one I brought you this time is definitely of very good quality. It's neither too big nor too small, and the meat must be very tender. It will be the best for making boiled chicken." Uncle Wu was very proud of his chicken and he looked very proud when he introduced it, as if to say that his chicken was the most authentic.
Xia Li is not an expert in choosing chickens, but she believes Uncle Wu's words very much. If Uncle Wu, a local, says it is a good chicken, then it must be right.
"It will definitely be delicious. Don't worry. I will definitely not waste it when I get back. I will make sure that this chicken dies a worthy death." Xia Li promised.
"Hahaha!" Uncle Wu laughed happily. "Okay, okay, you must make sure this chicken dies a good death."
Xia Li had already given Uncle Wu the money, which was enough for him to choose another of similar value. Uncle Wu handed a handful of chickens through the window to Xia Li, who caught them outside. A passing worker even glanced in curiously.
Although the chicken has been put into the net bag, it would still be quite eye-catching for an "urban beauty" to walk on the street with a live chicken.
Uncle Wu saw Xia Li carrying a backpack on one hand and a bag in the other, and asked with some concern: "Can you take it back?" If not, he would just give it to her.
Xia Li picked up the bag and lifted it online. "It's not heavy, you see. Don't worry, I can carry it back." She thought Uncle Wu was worried that it was too heavy and he couldn't carry it back.
That's impossible. She is not a weak woman who can't even lift a chicken. How could she not be able to lift it back?
"Okay then." Uncle Wu felt that he was worrying in vain, as other people had not even thought of this matter at all.
Xia Li is not an ordinary woman.
Afterwards, Xia Li and Uncle Wu exchanged a few brief pleasantries and said goodbye.
She was wearing high heels and carrying a bag, staggering towards the bus stop.
The chicken in his hand seemed quite energetic. It flapped its wings and struggled while he was walking.
Xia Li quickly picked up the things and moved to the other side as far away as possible to avoid getting her clothes dirty. How could she walk on the road or go home with dirty clothes?
Unexpectedly, this chicken seemed to really feel that it was about to "die" and wanted to leave something for the world, so it started to embarrass Charlie on the road.
It pooped!!!
What's the big deal? I can't throw it away, so I can only try to carry it as far as possible, stretching my arms and hands.
At this moment, Charlie was completely focused on the distance between the chicken and herself, and didn't care at all about who was coming over.
But when she realized it, someone took the bag in her hand, and she was relieved immediately.
"Jiang Dong? It's you, why are you here?"
Charlie was very surprised.
"I came to see you. I missed my son." Jiang Dong said expressionlessly, "Why are you holding a chicken? Don't you think it's dirty?"
How could Xia Li listen to him say that? Without thinking, she replied, "Who said I don't mind? It's dirty and heavy, and it urinates and defecates everywhere. Hurry and take it away from me."
