My mother has a problem with her legs, so Shen Ze has to go back to cook for her at noon. He definitely won’t be back at noon tomorrow, so he can only trouble Jian Xiaoxing.
After listening to him, Jian Xiaoxing promised: "Don't worry, I will go to cook for Auntie. What time will you be back tonight?"
After she finished speaking, her face was a little hot. She was just concerned about Shen's mother. "If I come back late, I will go directly to your house."
Chen Ze pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, his black eyes swept across her face, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc: "If I haven't returned by the time I get off work, you can go over!"
After the two of them discussed it, Jian Xiaoxing left the room with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing this, Xie Dongming joked, "Xiaoxing, Chen Chang told you that he's going to the city tomorrow, right? Look how happy you are! Finally, no one is watching you work anymore!"
These days, in order to help Shen Ze get the latest and most comprehensive data, she is indeed busy like a top every day. However, is she the kind of person who needs to be watched before she can work? Humph~
The next afternoon, after finishing her work, Jian Xiaoxing remembered that the new type of coal had not yet been sampled and tested. She picked up her safety helmet and two cotton masks and went to the coal preparation workshop.
When An Zhensheng saw her wearing two masks, he made fun of her as usual.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, An Zhensheng took her to the coal pile of the new type of coal.
In the coal yard, a pile of coal weighs dozens or even hundreds of tons. Under the huge mountain of coal, Jian Xiaoxing crawls forward like an ant.
Originally, the sampling work should be done by the samplers in the laboratory, but in order to ensure the accuracy of the data, Jian Xiaoxing would come in person.
Just as she stepped into the coal pile and dug some coal into it to take samples, Guo Fugui came over with a shovel on his left hand, picking his teeth with a toothpick in his right hand, and humming a little tune.
Seeing a female comrade named Jian Xiaoxing taking samples, he looked on curiously and even started talking to An Zhensheng in an official tone:
"Xiao An, this is the coal yard. Why did you let a little girl in? If something happens, can you take responsibility?"
An Zhensheng was very dissatisfied with Guo Fugui's behavior, but he still replied with a smile: "Mr. Guo, this is a comrade from the production department. He is working on data for the Shen plant project. Shen plant has informed me and asked me to take care of him."
Guo Fugui said nothing more, just laughed, and was very pleased with his respectful attitude.
A while ago, Guo Fugui accepted a bribe of 2,000 yuan from a boss named Baldy and bought 200 explosion-proof lamps. He was reported and the head factory took it seriously and demanded severe punishment. He was suddenly demoted from deputy factory director to a belt worker in the coal preparation workshop.
Not to mention that his salary dropped from over 80 to over 30, the key point was his dignity, which was thrown to the ground and rubbed harshly.
At first, he drank and was depressed, and delayed going to work. Later, Li Weimin persuaded him and said that this was a temporary solution and that he would be reinstated in his original position when there was an opportunity.
In addition, there are many people in his family waiting to eat, and he gradually understood that dignity means nothing. Sooner or later, he will become the deputy factory director again.
With this in mind, his behavior in the coal preparation workshop seemed a bit like taking advantage of his seniority.
Originally, the belt worker had to spend half a day shoveling coal onto the belt and half a day inspecting the belt. He often stayed in the operation room and did not come out. Even if he came out, he would just carry a shovel and pretend to do it.
Even the workshop director can't do anything about him. What if he is really reinstated?
After all, it is true that he was punished, but he bought 200 explosion-proof lamps for the coal preparation workshop, which really improved the working environment of the employees.
In the past, the workshop was pitch black at night and workers often fell and got injured. After the lights were installed, they no longer had to worry about stepping into potholes.
After Guo Fugui left, Jian Xiaoxing watched his back and chatted with An Zhensheng for a few words.
Only then did I realize that Guo Fugui's family was not as wealthy as his name suggested. He raised a whole family of two sons and a daughter by himself.
"He not only supports his own family, but also his younger brother and his wife. You didn't know that last year, the guy who caused trouble at our factory gate, named Hu Zi, is actually Deputy Director Guo's nephew. He was put in jail, and his parents became so angry that they fell ill. If Guo Fugui hadn't paid for their medical treatment, they would have passed away long ago. He was willing to take bribes because he couldn't afford to buy a house."
An Zhensheng shook his head as he spoke. In fact, seeing others having a hard time, he couldn't be much better off. It was just like the pot calling the kettle black when one is in fifty steps.
Jian Xiaoxing knew that An Zhensheng was mocking himself because of his own situation, so he comforted him, "Brother An, don't be discouraged. Don't you have a house in the shantytown? Sooner or later, it will bring you luck."
"I hope so!" An Zhensheng smiled, thinking that the broken house would probably be in his hands forever.
At this time, Guo Fugui came back with a bucket in his hand and walked towards them from a distance.
An Zhensheng thought of his pitiful situation and gave him a friendly smile.
The next second, Guo Fugui raised the bucket in his hand and poured the contents towards them.
Jian Xiaoxing was quick-witted and dodged to the side, so he was not splashed. Only his trouser legs were stained by the splashed coal mud. However, An Zhensheng was really soaked.
"Mr. Guo, what are you doing?" An Zhensheng wiped the water off his face and asked unhappily.
Guo Fugui smiled evilly, "Oh, the director asked me to boil some water for the coal, but I didn't expect it to spill on you. I'm so sorry."
Jian Xiaoxing sneered in her heart. If she hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been soaked by now.
An Zhensheng was a soft-hearted person and didn't bother with him. If he really splashed water on her, she wouldn't care about his status and would just give him a bucket of water in return.
Jian Xiaoxing came back from the workshop, looked at his trouser legs stained with coal mud, said hello to Xie Dongming, and went to the bathhouse.
The good thing about a chemical plant is that there is hot water for taking a shower 24 hours a day.
Jian Xiaoxing carried the washbasin into the bathhouse and found it was unusually empty.
Normally, she hated being seen naked while taking a shower. Some older sisters in the workshop would even comment on her figure and skin when they saw her, which made her feel unsatisfied every time she took a shower.
She put down the basin, selected a faucet and turned it on. The boiling hot water immediately rose into white mist.
She took off her coat and was about to unbutton her shirt when she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, so she had to go to the toilet at the entrance of the bathhouse.
When she came out of the bathroom, she heard the deafening sound of water in the bathhouse, as if all the faucets were turned on.
But the dressing room was still empty.
She walked inside in confusion, only to find a male employee in work clothes turning on the faucets one by one.
Jian Xiaoxing looked at his back through the mist and felt that it was somewhat familiar.
When the man turned around, the two looked at each other and realized that they were old acquaintances.
