Time flies.
The three days that Factory Manager Li gave Xu Qingqing had passed. In the past few days, Xu Qingqing had been dealing with the furniture from the countryside. Because she was selling it cheaply at very low prices, many people were eager to buy it, and it sold out quickly.
As for other miscellaneous items, take what you need and give the rest to others.
Back in the dorm, I reorganized and planned, and another day passed. Finally, on the third day, I finished packing everything.
In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight appeared, Xu Qingqing was groggily awakened by Bo Jingran. She opened her sleepy eyelids and groped her way to the door, taking steps left and right.
As she opened the door, a chill swept over her, making her sneeze repeatedly.
"This weather is so cold!" Xu Qingqing muttered to herself.
After Bo Jingran finished washing up, he saw Xu Qingqing talking to herself. He didn't know what she was saying, but when he got closer, he realized that she was complaining about the weather.
He went inside, took out a comb, and began to slowly comb Xu Qingqing's beautiful hair, braiding it into pigtails on both sides.
Xu Qingqing held her two little braids and looked at herself in the mirror from left to right.
At this moment, Bo Jingran took out a floral cotton-padded jacket that he had specially bought for Xu Qingqing from the closet. He had consulted with many older women for inspiration on the currently popular styles.
Bo Jingran walked up to Xu Qingqing and showed her his feelings.
"Honey, I have a surprise for you!"
Xu Qingqing wondered, what kind of surprise?
The next second, his expression froze, and he saw a brightly colored dress in the mirror, which was particularly eye-catching.
Xu Qingqing couldn't imagine how stunning she would look in this outfit!
When Bo Jingran saw that Xu Qingqing was not as surprised as he had imagined, but rather seemed frightened, the joy he had felt vanished in an instant.
She asked dejectedly, "Don't you like it? I asked other people, and they all said this kind of dress is the best looking."
Xu Qingqing said disdainfully, "Who said that? I just don't like it."
You know, in my past life, many people who made funny videos wore these kinds of brightly colored clothes, with brightly colored blush on their cheeks and green eyeshadow, which was really an eyesore.
Don't even think about her wearing that floral dress.
Quickly wave your hand to make him take it away from your sight.
Bo Jingran's plan backfired. He originally wanted to make amends for his previous mistakes and win back his wife's favor, but his surprise turned into a shock.
After getting ready, the two rode their bicycles to the steel plant.

After Xu Qingqing completed the formalities, she was taken to the Publicity Department by the Minister of Human Resources. The Publicity Department had a small, quiet room that was not easily disturbed.
The publicity department originally had three people, but one left last month, leaving only two people chatting leisurely.
One of the older women greeted the head of the human resources department with a smile.
"Why is Minister Ren here? What's going on?"
"This is Comrade Xu Qingqing. She was originally an educated youth sent to the countryside, but the factory director personally recruited her into the propaganda department. From now on, you will be working partners together."
Minister Ren introduced Xu Qingqing to her and specifically reminded her that Xu Qingqing was personally recruited by Factory Director Li.
He then introduced the two people from the publicity department to Xu Qingqing:
"This is Comrade Fang Xiaomei, a long-time employee of the Publicity Department, and the other is Comrade Huang Yao."
Fang Xiaomei smiled, stepped forward, grabbed Xu Qingqing's hand, and teased, "You can call me Sister Fang. Look at this pretty face, so beautiful!"
Xu Qingqing smiled faintly, grasped Fang Xiaomei's hand in return, and tightened her grip slightly: "Not at all, Sister Fang, please take good care of me in the future." She then tightened her grip a little more.
Fang Xiaomei felt a sharp pain and tried to pull her hand away, but Xu Qingqing was too strong and she couldn't break free.
Fang Xiaomei's smile froze slightly as she said, "Comrade Xu has a really strong grip; my hand is almost numb."
Xu Qingqing: "Sister Fang is joking. When it comes to strength, I can't compare to you. Look, my hands are all red."
He released Fang Xiaomei's hand and raised his right hand in front of her.
On her snow-white hands, a clear red five-finger mark was visible, the contrast of red and white quite striking.
Minister Ren frowned: "Comrade Fang, your behavior has gone too far."
Fang Xiaomei retorted, "Minister Ren, don't wrong me. Everyone knows I have a naturally strong hand. I was just shaking hands with Comrade Xu with normal force."
Even if you use too much force, others will only think that you are strong, and no one will think that you are deliberately doing something bad.
Minister Ren waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's good that it wasn't intentional. Comrade Xu just joined us and doesn't know many things yet. You two should be more understanding."
"If I find out you're secretly up to something, don't blame me for not warning you. Comrade Xu is someone the factory director values." After saying this, the minister gave the two a warning look, especially Fang Xiaomei, that old fox.
Fang Xiaomei chuckled twice, defending herself: "Minister Ren is joking. How could I dare to bully Comrade Xu? I'm too busy trying to curry favor with him, don't you think, Xiao Huang?"
Huang Yao nodded: "Yes, how could we dare!"
Xu Qingqing raised the corners of her eyes as she watched the two of them exchanging pleasantries, a mischievous glint in her eyes, as if she were thinking of something amusing.
Minister Ren didn't care whether what they said was true or false. After hearing their assurances, he went about his own business.
After Minister Ren left, Fang Xiaomei snorted coldly and looked at Xu Qingqing with disdain and disgust.
She had long considered that position hers, and after finally finding a woman who was about to take it, she was suddenly snatched away by a shrew.
Thinking that this was originally her niece's spot, but now it has been taken by this little brat Xu Qingqing, how is she going to explain this to her niece? Won't the old lady in the family make a huge fuss?
Xu Qingqing ignored her gaze and walked to the only empty table, which was cluttered with things piled up everywhere.
Fang Xiaomei pointed to the papers on the table and said gloatingly, "Comrade Xu, the documents on the table were left by the previous person. They are all requirements from above. Please sort them out so I can report to my superiors."
"By the way, there are only two days left before the deadline set by the higher-ups. Comrade Xu, you'd better hurry up and finish this task, otherwise you'll be in trouble if the higher-ups get angry."
If the higher-ups get angry and fire Xu Qingqing, then my niece will have a chance to take her place, and the old lady will be happy.
Xu Qingqing leaned back lazily in her chair and said leisurely, "What does it have to do with me if I can't complete the task? I'm just a newbie, clueless and don't know anything. You've come to the wrong person."
"Furthermore, put away your little schemes. I'm not like the last person who could be driven away with a few tricks. You can try if you don't believe me."
Fang Xiaomei didn't take Xu Qingqing's words to heart. Anyone can talk big; she'll have her crying later.
You see, that person isn't easy to talk to. What she hates most is people who aren't serious or meticulous in their work. She wanted to see if Xu Qingqing would still be so stubborn.
