As soon as the mother and son arrived home, Gu Yi was already waiting at the door with the door key.
He handed the key to his sister-in-law, saying that he was going out for a walk and wanted to send a telegram to my school.
Chen Xingling told him to come back before dark, and then took his son into the house.
After lunch, she took the little one downstairs.
After sending Xiaohuzi to kindergarten, she turned around and went straight to the Personnel Department with her work ID from Gu Qi's drawer.
Ma Damei was already at work, counting stacks of meal tickets with her head down, while several other male clerks were busy writing and filling out forms, chatting quietly.
Chen Xingling knocked on the door and greeted in a low voice.
When Ma Damei saw her, she quickly threw away the meal ticket in her hand and came out to greet her with a smile.
"Girl, are you here to pick up your ticket?"
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "Director Guo was not here yesterday, so the self-driving business could not be done. Sister, I am here today to get a school admission card for my son. I want him to attend the kindergarten in the factory."
"Oh? All right!" Ma Damei turned around and called out to the clerk, "Xiao Liu! Please write a note to Engineer Gu's family. Her child needs to go to kindergarten."
When the male employees heard "Engineer Gu", they immediately turned around and looked at Chen Xingling.
"Who? Gu Qi's family?"
Ma Damei nodded hurriedly: "Yes! In addition to Gu Qi, who else in the factory is an engineer! This is Gu Qi's wife, their child has grown up and wants to go to the kindergarten in the factory. Come on! Don't just stand there, hurry up!"
"Oh oh oh? Okay!" the man agreed.
Chen Xingling stood up straight and bowed slightly: "Thank you for your trouble!"
Soon, I got the admission certificate.
Chen Xingling pulled Ma Damei around to a secluded spot in the corridor and took out a handful of candies from his pocket and stuffed them into her hands.
"Big sister, I heard you have kids at home. Here are some hawthorn candies I made myself, for your kids to eat as a snack. They're not expensive, so don't despise them. They're sour and sweet, and many kids love them."
Ma Damei narrowed her eyes and smiled, quickly reaching out to catch it.
"Do it yourself? Wow! Sister, you are really capable! Thank you!"
Then, she winked and asked, "Sister, have you been intimidated by the factory director's secretary? Huh?"
Chen Xingling was slightly stunned, and answered in a low voice: "Yesterday she said the factory director was in a meeting and asked me to wait. I waited for more than an hour yesterday afternoon, but unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer. I just moved in, and the house still needs to be cleaned up. I couldn't wait too long, so I had to go home first."
"Ouch!" Ma Damei frowned and said distressedly: "Sister, you must have been fooled by her."
Uh? Fooling?
Chen Xingling smiled bitterly: "Big sister, you see I'm new here, and Aqi is still at sea..."
Ma Damei stuffed the hawthorn candy into her pocket and held her hand affectionately.
"You don't know, she likes to bully workers and staff with ugly faces. The factory manager is very busy every day. He has to attend meetings from time to time and visit various departments, so he is not in the office most of the time. I'll teach you a trick. If she still says that the factory manager is not here, then you can look for him when you are about to get off work. The factory manager will definitely be there. The factory manager usually gets off work later, at 1:30 pm, so that those who need to provide feedback can find him in the office after get off work."
Chen Xingling nodded vaguely, expressing gratitude.
I see!
Yesterday the secretary didn't tell me any of this. She just kept looking at me with a look of disdain and annoyance, as if she was hoping that I would leave as soon as possible.
Ma Damei sneered: "She is just like that, always using her power to bully others. She is just the factory director's secretary, but she always acts like she is a big boss. It's really annoying!"
Chen Xingling smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say. After all, she was not an employee of the factory, and she knew it was inappropriate to talk about others behind their backs.
Sister Ma, who was in charge of all the tickets in the Personnel Department, laughed disdainfully: "She also wanted to buy a car since last year, but her position is not high. Unless all the senior and middle-level leaders have bought one, it will not be her turn."
Chen Xingling suddenly realized - no wonder the secretary's attitude was so bad yesterday! It turned out that she was jealous that Gu Qi got the higher title before her!
"Thank you, sister. I'll go to Director Guo to apply later."
Ma Damei smiled and said, "We are family, don't be polite! By the way, have you received your allowance from the Finance Department? Bring your work permit as Engineer Gu and sign your name after you receive it."
Chen Xingling shook his head: "It's okay, wait until Aqi comes back to collect it. I still have a little extra money, which is barely enough for the time being. Fortunately, you gave me a lot of meal tickets yesterday, so I have a place to eat for the time being, and I don't have to worry about anything else."
"Oh!" Ma Damei smiled, "We are all girls in the factory, so it's only natural for us to take care of each other."
At this time, someone from the other side of the corridor poked his head out and shouted, "Da Mei! Da Mei! Come over here!"
"Hey!" Ma Damei responded, said goodbye to Chen Xingling, and hurried over.
Chen Xingling watched her leave and was about to take a step -
"I never thought Gu Qi's wife looked like this... I heard that he got married a long time ago, but no one said they had seen his wife. I heard that she went back to her hometown not long after getting married, and today I finally saw her."
"It's the first time I've seen her, too! When Gu Qi got married, he lived in a tube-shaped building. His wife hid in the house all day long, and even many of the people who lived in the tube-shaped building said they didn't recognize her!"
Forehead? ?
It turned out that a few men in the Personnel Department were gossiping about me!
I heard that when male magazines get together, their favorite topics to discuss are women and money.
For this group of men who have similar salaries and work in exactly the same positions, the only topic left for them to gossip about is "women".
Chen Xingling paused, pretending to lower his head to adjust the corner of his clothes, but his ears couldn't help but prick up in curiosity.
——She is tall and thin, with a fair face, but not that pretty! I thought a woman who could attract a handsome guy like Gu Qi must be very pretty. But after a glance, she is just so-so.
"Hey! Gu Qi is a handsome guy picked out of a hundred. He is not worthy of just an ordinary pretty woman."
"I guess his wife can't even be called pretty. But she looks elegant, has fair skin, a slim waist and a tall figure. She's a good match for him. Gu Qi is very tall, and many women are much shorter than him when they get close to him. It's awkward no matter how you look at them!"
"She is quite tall, but not pretty. I don't know what Gu Qi likes about her! I heard that she doesn't seem to have a high level of education and probably can't even read. However, Gu Qi has already arranged a job for her in the logistics department."
"Hehe! No matter what, she can dominate that guy Gu Qi, so the guys in the factory won't have trouble finding a partner. If Gu Qi doesn't get married, all the women outside and inside the factory will pounce on him, and you guys won't have a chance! So, you young guys should thank her!"
"Hahaha! That's right!"
…
Chen Xingling had three black lines on his forehead and turned around and walked away quickly.
Well, this is her biggest motivation to go to college.
There's no way, because her husband is so handsome and capable!
One day, she would definitely impress these people and make them recognize that she and her husband were the most compatible couple!
