Chapter 138
Liang Hong was the one cleaning the table, while He Xiangxiang was still lying on the bed. They both stopped at the same time.
"Who are you"
Qin Shi smiled faintly, "Hello, this is Room 201, right? My name is Qin Shi."
"Yes, it's 201. Hello, my name is He Xiangxiang and her name is Liang Hong." He Xiangxiang poked her head out.
Qin Shi nodded and found her seat.
Liang Hong picked up the child and picked up the clothes. "I'm sorry, it's a mess here, so I asked the child to sit with you for a while."
Qin Shi saw that the table and chairs were covered in dust, and it didn't matter where the luggage was placed, "It's okay, just sit down."
Seeing that the little girl looked like Liang Hong, she guessed that she was Liang Hong's daughter.
Because of Kong Dongdong, she still had some candy with her and handed it to the child, "Do you want to eat it?"
The little girl nibbled on a steamed bun, subconsciously watching her mother's reaction. Liang Hong nodded, "Thank you, Qin."
She subconsciously looked at the person following behind her.
Lu Qin intentionally left them space to communicate, after all, he was not the protagonist.
He nodded at the two women, looking quite easygoing at first glance. "Where are you sleeping?"
He Xiangxiang on the upper bunk had pricked up her ears and her eyes moved back and forth between them.
Qin Shi turned her head and said, "It's on Comrade He's lower bunk. Just put down your luggage. I'll pack the rest myself."
"It's okay, there's still time. It's not even ten o'clock yet."
The tall man squeezed in, making the dormitory suddenly much more crowded. Liang Hong felt a little uncomfortable looking at his appearance. The child stared at Lu Qin with wide eyes while eating candy.
Qin Shi noticed the child's reaction and thought that Comrade Lu had the appearance of not even sparing children.
Lu Qin put down his package and rolled up his sleeves. "I'll go get a basin of water first. Where can I get water here?"
Liang Hong put the child down and said, "Well, there's water at the end of the corridor."
"Okay, thank you very much." Lu Qin subconsciously smiled at the person.
Liang Hong, as a woman with a child and a husband, blushed instantly.
As Lu Qin left, the two female comrades looked at each other. Since they were not familiar with Qin Shi, they did not dare to ask more questions.
A short while later, Lu Qin returned with some water. Several dormitories along the corridor had their doors open, so someone might have seen a handsome young man walking by.
As soon as Lu Qin returned to the dormitory, the room became quiet again.
Qin Shi couldn't stop him, but she fell silent as she turned around and watched Lu Qin working. She had never seen anyone work so clumsily...
She really couldn't help it, "You take a rest, let me do it."
Lu Qin was not embarrassed at all and handed her the handkerchief, "I'm not very skilled."
He wasn't cut out for this job.
Qin Shi took the handkerchief and dipped it in water again. Lu Qin consciously stepped aside.
Qin Shi rolled up his sleeves and wiped from the inside out, wiping every corner.
Lu Qin tilted his head back tactically, and his eyes seemed to have learned the meaning.
He Xiangxiang quietly poked her head out and exchanged glances with Liang Hong. Looking at his face, she suddenly thought it was normal that he couldn't do this job. They shook their heads and quickly discarded the idea. Equality between men and women is the way it is.
After making the bed and tidying up the tables and cabinets, there was almost nothing else to do. Lu Qin rubbed his fingers together a few times and said, "You clean up first. If you need anything, come to me directly."
Qin Shi raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her face. "I'll help you clean it up later."
Lu Qin shook his head, "You underestimated me, didn't you?"
Qin Shi's eyes fell on his sleeves, and she thought of the day when Kong Dongdong cleaned the house. He was diligent, but that was just diligence. He didn't do any work and even got his clothes dirty. The two of them were very similar in this respect.
Facing her distrustful look, Lu Qin prepared to slip away. He also wanted to chat with the dormitory manager downstairs, but before going downstairs, he went to the bathroom in the corridor to wash his hands and his face.
The dormitory manager Wang was sitting upright downstairs, holding a cup of local black tea in his hand, which was so fragrant.
Not long after, she heard a noise behind her, and a plump woman said, "Whose luggage is this? Why is it left at our dormitory station?"
Dormitory Manager Wang took a sip of tea and said, "A handsome young man left it here."
Dormitory Manager Li was surprised. "Sister Wang, this is a girls' dormitory. Last time your niece put something down, you argued with her for a long time."
Dormitory Manager Wang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, he will come to get it later."
Almost at the moment when he finished speaking, Lu Qin appeared at the stairs, and he saw at a glance that there was one more person at the dormitory management station.
"Sister." He came forward with a smile on his face, "I came to get your luggage. I'm sorry to bother you."
Dormitory Manager Li had been staring at Dormitory Manager Wang just now, and she suddenly saw that Dormitory Manager Wang's face was as bright as a flower, filled with smiles.
"What's the trouble? You're welcome. It's just a matter of putting something away."
Lu Qin smiled and said, "That's because you are generous, sister."
His gaze casually turned around and saw what looked like a phone on the table in the room behind her. He squinted his eyes and looked over. What a coincidence!
He casually asked, "Ning University is really amazing. They even provided a phone."
Dormitory Manager Wang turned around and said, "The phone has just been installed. You can make calls now. There is one downstairs in every dormitory."
Lu Qin said "oh", but seeing that she seemed to want to help, he quickly refused, "Sister, just take a rest. I'm leaving first. My sister is in 201, but she's a quiet person. I might come to see her when I have time. If I do, please open a passage."
His quiet nature meant he wasn't a troublemaker and was obedient. Dormitory Manager Wang took the initiative to mention, "I'll keep an eye on him when I have time."
Lu Qin didn't hesitate to smile. "Oh, thank you. Thank you, sisters."
Dormitory Manager Li was stunned when he heard his own name.
When he stepped out of the dormitory building again, it was already half past ten. Lu Qin looked left and right, thinking about what to do next.
The boys' dormitory is much noisier than the girls' dormitory, and both are three or four-story buildings.
Before entering, he stopped at the corner to fix his hair, rolled up his dirty sleeves, held his head high and walked in with a natural and leisurely smile on his face.
As expected, there was also a female comrade in charge of the dormitory downstairs for the boys. However, she was about ten years older than the girls. She wore a uniform grey work suit and had neat short hair.
"Hello, comrade. Excuse me, I want to make a phone call." Lu Qin put down his luggage and raised his hand to gently knock on the table in front of her.
He would be someone who would need to make phone calls frequently in the future, so for convenience he did not make the calls at the female dormitory station. He needed to let the people here get to know him first.
Cai Mingju looked up and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth standing in front of her. She stared at his face and asked uncertainly, "You want to call the school phone, but it's not free."
"It's okay, sister. I have something urgent to tell a friend."
Cai Mingju almost didn't react when the address was upgraded from comrade to sister. The college entrance examination had just been resumed and she got the dormitory management job through connections. She doubted that people from other places were so enthusiastic now. She was not old enough to be called sister.
The corners of her mouth curled up, "Okay, then come in with me."
"The phone is our treasure here. I'll teach you how to make a call now. If you're done, put it down carefully. If you don't know how to put it down, call me. Oh, and be sure you want to make a call. Our phone charges are based on the time you use it."
Cai Mingju received training before joining the company, and telephones are not uncommon things.
Lu Qin listened to this and thought that it was because the country was not developing well at the moment. Every phone was precious. He decided to call.
Cai Mingju carefully dialed the number he asked, "Just wait a little longer and you'll get the call."
"Yeah, okay."
Beep beep beep
At the Lai Fu Food Factory, Xu Youzhi felt uncomfortable for a long time after Lu Qin resigned to go to college. For example, when he went to the cafeteria, he clearly saw that the aunt who often added meat and vegetables to Lu Qin's food had no smile on her face recently. However, there was one good thing: the aunt recognized him as Lu Qin's friend, stared at him for a long time, shook the rice spoon twice, and added two more pieces of meat to his meal. Of course, it was only two pieces, no more.
Of course, the main thing I’m not used to is my daily life. Once I get busy with work, I have no time to think about it at all.
But the Propaganda Department has been a bit idle in the past two days.
So when the phone on Zhou Jun's desk rang, seeing that Section Chief Zhou was not there, they all stood up and wanted to help answer the phone.
Of course, everyone is thinking, which newspaper called their publicity department?
But Zhou Jun's movements were faster, and no one could rest, except him.
Seeing the phone ringing non-stop, like a ghost, Zhou Jun quickened his pace and ran over, gesturing quickly, afraid of missing anything. "Hello, this is the publicity department of Life Food Factory."
The phone rang for a long time. Lu Qin leaned against the table, almost suspecting that he had remembered the wrong number. When he heard the familiar voice on the other end, "Chief Zhou, it's me."
Section Chief Zhou almost didn't react when he heard the familiar voice. He moved the phone further away from his ear and then leaned closer to ask, "Lu Qin?"
"Yes, yes, it's me."
Cai Mingju was sitting at the door, originally worried that the microphone would get bumped and fall, but when he opened his mouth and called him "Section Chief", she pricked up her ears.
Zhou Jun's face was relaxed, and he could imagine the other person smiling through the phone line.
After revealing his identity, Lu Qin began to talk. "I arrived at the school the day before yesterday and rented a house after arriving. Ningchuan City is a very good place. By the way, how is the factory doing recently?"
Zhou Jun found his question strange, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He continued, "That's how it is at the factory. Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but I've been a bit idle lately."
"It's good to be idle. I almost want to go back to work now. Work is more stable." Lu Qin appropriately expressed his nostalgia for work.
He rambled on and on, "I see there's a factory similar to ours in Ningchuan City, but I think their production isn't as good as ours. If we were to produce here, we'd definitely be able to do better..."
The few sentences in the middle were spoken in a low voice.
Zhou Jun finally realized, "Where did you call from?"
"I met a kind lady at the dormitory management station in our school dormitory building. She even helped me dial the number."
Cai Mingju heard this clearly. No, it wasn't her helping out, it was clearly because she was worried that the phone would be damaged. After hearing this, she actually felt a little guilty.
Not knowing what was said on the other end, Lu Qin said hello, "Please say hello to Youzhi and the other sisters for me, and also say hello to the factory manager."
Zhou Jun, "Okay..."
"Thank you."
With a beep, the phone was hung up. Cai Mingju was about to get up to help when she saw him carefully put the phone back to its place.
"Sister, how much is it in total?"
Cai Mingju walked over, checked the time, and reported a number. "Just count it to the whole number, and you can erase the rest."
Lu Qin fished in his pocket for some change, "No, we can't take public money."
If you try to take advantage of others the first time and leave a bad impression on others, how can you maintain a good relationship with them later?
Lu Qin rounded up the amount, but he gave too much. When he gave the money, he also said, "I'm worried about the factory. I'll have to trouble you later."
It won't be a one-time or two-time thing.
This was the first time Cai Mingju had seen someone so enthusiastic about giving money to others without taking advantage of the public. Her favorability towards him increased rapidly. After accepting the money, she said, "This is the school's phone number. If you want to call, just come."
"Well, I'm relieved then. Sister, you go to work. I'll go upstairs first."
He gave some instructions before going upstairs, and he seemed very familiar with it.
Cai Mingju had the illusion that they had a good relationship. She subconsciously waved her hand to signal him to go up.
On the other side, Zhou Jun hung up the phone, and the only thing left in his mind seemed to be Lu Qin's words praising their factory.
He thought about what he had instructed later. It just so happened that he had nothing to do and he had made a promise, so he prepared to go to the factory office to talk to the factory director.
The people beside him were all Lu Qin's old colleagues. "It's Lu Qin, right?"
Zhou Jun nodded, "He said he went to university."
Secretary Niu nodded and said, "This child has developed feelings for our Life Food Factory."
