As night falls, the earth, which has been scorching hot all day, is still not gone. Even with a gentle breeze, it still carries the suffocating heat, making it a little hard to breathe.
Chen Xingling rode his bicycle into the factory and went straight to the first floor of Linjiang.
"Sister-in-law!" Zhao Xiaoxing, who was waiting at the stairs, jumped down quickly and said in panic, "I've been waiting for you for a long time! You're finally back!"
Chen Xingling frowned and asked, "Why are you here? What are you waiting for me to do?"
Zhao Xiaoxing was sweating profusely and tears were falling down her face.
"That—Ayi—he was suspended."
What?! Suspension?!
Chen Xingling quickly parked his bicycle.
"Why? Who suspended him? Why was he suspended?"
Zhao Xiaoxing choked up and replied, "I don't even know the person he's talking about... It seems like the decision was made by some old master. Ayi is very worried now... He even lost his temper earlier, which scared me."
"Where's Aqi?" Chen Xingling pulled her up the stairs and asked, "He should be off work, right? He probably doesn't have to work tonight."
The shipyard occasionally has weekend shifts, but night shifts are rare. Gu Qi's department is more flexible, and some work can be taken home, so the frequency of shifts is not high.
Zhao Xiaoxing replied: "Big brother, he-he went to pick up mother-in-law and sister-in-law Xuan."
Chen Xingling paused and asked, "They are here? When?"
"In the evening." Zhao Xiaoxing answered: "After my eldest brother heard about Ah Yi's situation, he was going to find someone to ask clearly, but he suddenly received a call saying that my mother-in-law and her family had arrived at the train station, and asked my eldest brother to pick them up quickly. It seemed that Ah Xuan's sister-in-law had a heat stroke and fainted at the train station. My mother-in-law was very worried. My eldest brother didn't dare to delay, so he asked me to take Xiao Huzi upstairs, and he ran to the logistics department to borrow a car to pick them up."
Chen Xingling frowned when he heard this and asked, "Fainted from heat stroke? Are you sure it was heat stroke?"
It's really one crisis after another!
Gu Xuan had never been to the south. The weather in Yucheng had been extremely hot recently. Even she, a native of the coastal area, could hardly stand the scorching heat, not to mention Gu Xuan, a northerner who had just arrived.
"Yes." Zhao Xiaoxing replied with red eyes: "That's what my brother said..."
Chen Xingling said solemnly: "Heatstroke can be serious or minor, so don't take it lightly. Aqi should have taken her to the hospital, and I don't think she will be back so early."
Went upstairs and opened the door.
"Mom!" Little Tiger, who was playing in the living room, jumped up excitedly and shouted excitedly: "Mom! Look at the big boat that Dad and I just made!"
"Oh." Chen Xingling glanced at the wooden boat on the dining table perfunctorily and asked, "Xiao Xing, have you all had dinner?"
Zhao Xiaoxing nodded: "It was too hot in the cafeteria, so everyone took their meals home to eat. I brought back three servings, but Ayi couldn't finish them, and Xiaohuzi only ate a little."
When Chen Xingling heard that his son didn't eat much, he was secretly worried.
"Go call Ayi out, I'll go to the kitchen to get some watermelon."
Zhao Xiaoxing didn't suspect anything and hurried into the room.
Chen Xingling flashed into the room, locked the door and quickly entered the supermarket, went straight to the melon and vegetable section, picked up a big watermelon and hurried out.
She took the watermelon to the kitchen, took out half of it, and quickly cut it into a dozen slices.
At this time, Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing came over to say hello.
Gu Yi looked listless, perhaps because he couldn't stand the scorching heat or because he was in a bad mood, he looked listless.
Chen Xingling stuffed two large slices of watermelon into his hands, turned around and stuffed a slice into Zhao Xiaoxing's hands, then took the rest to the living room.
"Huzi, come and eat watermelon!"
When little tiger heard about eating watermelon, his eyes lit up. He immediately pounced over, grabbed a piece and started to eat it happily.
Chen Xingling explained while eating: "Ayi, Xiaoxing, eating watermelon can relieve heat, you should eat more. You and Xiaohuzi have never spent summer here, so you probably can't adapt to the hot weather here. When you can't eat, eat some watermelon or mung bean soup to relieve heat. If you have any signs of discomfort, dizziness, or headache, you must rest in a cool place immediately. If the situation is serious, you must go to the hospital."
"It's not worth it, is it?" Gu Yi ate with big mouthfuls and muttered, "Do I still need to go to the hospital?"
Chen Xingling nodded: "Heatstroke is not a small matter, and it must not be underestimated. If it is not treated in time, it may be fatal if it is serious."
Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing were both shocked and ate a few more slices in one breath.
"Sister-in-law, have you had dinner yet?" Zhao Xiaoxing asked, "Can I make you a bowl of noodles?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "No, my elder brother and I have had mung bean soup, so we are not hungry now. Let's eat some watermelon. When we are hungry, we can eat more to fill our stomach."
Then, she asked the absent-minded Gu Yi what happened to him being suspended.
Gu Yi immediately became indignant, saying that he had clearly connected the wires, but the inspector, Master Lou, insisted that he had not connected the neutral wire. He scolded him for not checking carefully, and suspended him from work to reflect on himself and was not allowed to continue working until he was promoted to a higher position.
"Every time I connected wires, I followed the drawings, checked them carefully once or twice, and then asked a master to come and help me check. But before the master came, the acceptance master came. Before I could react, he cursed at me and refused to listen to my explanation, and then suspended me from work - it was really too much!"
Chen Xingling slowly put down the watermelon peel, frowned and asked: "Are you sure you have connected the neutral line? Absolutely sure?"
"Are you sure?" Gu Yi said angrily, "I'm 100% sure! Sister-in-law, this is not my first day working here, how could I forget such basic things? Why don't you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it." Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "I just want to confirm it. I guess... you may have been retaliated by Guo Shijing."
ah? ! !
Gu Yi and Zhao Xiaoxing looked at each other, both with shock and horror on their faces.
"How could he do this! It's too much!"
"Sister-in-law, is it really him?"
Chen Xingling shook his head: "Now there is no evidence, so of course we can't be sure. But I think it's almost certain, most likely he did it. It's difficult for him to seek revenge on Aqi. First, he is the only senior engineer in the factory, and some important designs in the factory cannot be done without him. Second, Director Guo thinks highly of Aqi, so he dare not offend Aqi. He doesn't dare to arrest Aqi, so he can only attack you."
"We-we remember your instructions and dare not make any mistakes!" Zhao Xiaoxing cried anxiously, wiping her tears and said, "We work too hard every day!"
Chen Xingling sighed softly: "They can't find any fault with you, and they can't find any evidence to hold against you, so naturally they have to frame you. Ayi was clearly wronged this time."
Gu Yi was so angry that he cursed: "Damn it! He did what he wanted - and he didn't let anyone tell anyone?! Everyone in the factory knew about it, but his father was the only one kept in the dark! Can paper cover up fire?! Isn't it only a matter of time before this is exposed?!"
"That's right!" Zhao Xiaoxing sobbed, "My sister-in-law was also tricked into going there... Director Guo didn't mind, so why did he keep harassing us?"
"Don't get excited." Chen Xingling frowned and soothed him: "Don't cry either. If a problem arises, we should solve it as soon as possible. There is always a way out. "
Gu Yiteng stood up and said in a rough voice: "I will go to the hospital to find Director Guo now! I don't believe it! Can Guo Shijing really cover up everything with one hand? Who does he think he is? Even if he is the Jade Emperor, he can't do whatever he wants like this!"
"Ayi!"
"Sit down, sit down!" Chen Xingling grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Don't be so impatient. Wait for your brother to come back and discuss it with him. Remember, don't be impulsive."
"sister in law……"
"Stop talking, calm down. Don't get angry when you are anxious. Impulsiveness won't solve the problem." Chen Xingling ordered, "Do what you need to do, and wait for Aqi to come back."
