Yuri stood frozen in place. After realizing what had happened, she stamped her foot in regret and quickly followed.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Qingqing's figure disappeared from her sight.
Yuri: "..."
Everyone felt something flash by, and before they could see it clearly, the person in front of them had already disappeared.
Xu Qingqing was the first to rush to the front. Today's dishes were quite special. As soon as she walked in, she smelled a strong muttony smell. Upon closer inspection, she found it was stewed mutton with Chinese cabbage. Compared to the large bucket next to it, the portion was quite small.
She couldn't stand the smell and couldn't help but cover her nose.
When the cafeteria lady saw Xu Qingqing's expression, she knew at a glance that Xu Qingqing didn't like it. "Comrade Xu, judging from your expression, you can't stand the smell of mutton, can you?"
The cafeteria lady spoke with certainty, and Xu Qingqing nodded: "Yes, I hate this taste the most. Please give me some other dishes."
"Oh, what's the trouble?" The cafeteria lady waved her hand, her eyes beaming with joy. She loved Xu Qingqing for being so polite to her.
He took the lunchbox from Xu Qingqing, which was filled with vegetables, and specially picked out two of the largest multigrain steamed buns for her.
"Thank you, ma'am."
After thanking her, Xu Qingqing took her lunchbox and went outside. The place smelled strongly of mutton, so she decided to eat back at her post.
A long queue had already formed behind them, with everyone craning their necks, hoping that when it was their turn, they would get one too.
Yu Limei was also in line. Seeing that Xu Qingqing had already gotten her food, she quickly waved to her and asked, "Sister Xu, did you get that dish?"
Xu Qingqing stopped and walked to her side: "No, I don't like the taste of mutton."
"Oh, is that so? Lamb actually has a strong flavor, but the meat is quite tender. Once you get used to it, you'll like it."
Xu Qingqing shook her head, both amused and exasperated, and pinched her chubby cheeks: "Then forget it, I can't accept it."
"Okay, you can wait in line here. I'm going back now."
After greeting Yu Limei, Xu Qingqing walked out of the cafeteria and bumped into a somewhat familiar face, but unfortunately she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
Fang Li met Xu Qingqing's gaze and tensed up in fright, her palms sweating profusely.
Xu Qingqing noticed her shifty eyes and was a little puzzled by her reaction. Just as she was about to ask, Bo Jingran came in from outside, walked to her side, and said gently, "Wife, what are you planning to eat tonight? I've already asked Aunt Liu to bring me some big bones. How about we have big bone soup tonight?"
Huh? Xu Qingqing's eyes lit up instantly, and she no longer cared about Fang Li, her mind only on the big bone: "Mmm, I want to eat it."
Fang Li, standing to the side, saw the tenderness and love in Bo Jingran's eyes as he looked at Xu Qingqing, and she couldn't help but feel jealous. She clenched her fists to control herself.
No, she must be patient. The timing isn't right; she absolutely cannot act impulsively.
Xu Qingqing had been paying attention to her all along and hadn't missed the jealousy in her eyes. She frowned slightly and noticed that she was looking at Bo Jingran, and immediately understood.
Oh dear, someone is trying to steal her boyfriend.
Bo Jingran only then noticed that Fang Li, who was standing next to his wife, had her brows furrowed. Fearing that Fang Li might say something nonsense to his wife, her eyes instantly turned sharp. No one could disturb the relationship between the couple.
If so, then he is Bo Jingran's enemy, an enemy he must defeat.
Xu Qingqing's eyes flashed, she patted Bo Jingran's chest, openly groped it twice, and said, "Alright, I'm going back to my post now."
Bo Jingran gave a soft "hmm" and watched Xu Qingqing walk away. His aura instantly turned cold. He turned to look at Fang Li with a icy gaze and an extremely displeased tone: "Comrade Fang, I'm warning you, stay away from me and my wife from now on, or don't blame me for being impolite."
After warning Fang Li once again, Bo Jingran walked past her toward the cafeteria.
Fang Li stared at Bo Jingran's retreating figure, but she didn't take it seriously. Ignoring his warning, she thought, "Just wait, soon I'll get what I want. The title of Mrs. Bo Jingran can only be hers."

Xu Qingqing returned to her post, ate lunch, and then remembered that she wanted to make a reclining chair. She recalled that there was a bamboo grove not far from the steel plant.
The factory had readily available tools, saving Xu Qingqing the trouble of finding an excuse to take them from her spatial storage. After taking the tools, she headed straight there.
The place was almost deserted, which made it convenient for her.
