-----Greed makes people vicious.
Jinhai Chemical Plant Auditorium.
Jian Xiaoxing struggled to open her eyelids and used her hands to block the glaring stage lights. At the same time, many memories that did not belong to her surged into her head, which felt as painful as being pricked by needles.
She slumped down against the wall, gradually adjusting to the light that only illuminated a corner of the stage, and saw another woman in heavy stage makeup in front of her, sharply criticizing her.
The voice was so rhythmic that people who didn't know what was going on thought she was just rehearsing for a wonderful performance.
Jian Xiaoxing sneered in his heart.
She traveled through time and space to a period novel she had read not long ago, "Factory Life in the 1980s."
The original owner was also called Jian Xiaoxing, but he was just a very inconspicuous supporting character in the book.
The person who used acting as a cover to push her down and cause the original owner's death was none other than the heroine Li Weihong in the book.
Jian Xiaoxing remembered that the book mainly talked about the daily life of the heroine and the hero, and there was no such big conflict with her as a supporting character?
Could it be that because she traveled through a book, many things changed?
Seeing that the performance was about to end, Jian Xiaoxing didn't think much about it. He supported himself by holding the wall with his right hand and stood up.
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Weihong's eyes, but she pretended to be calm and continued with her lines.
The next second, Jian Xiaoxing suddenly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and slapped Li Weihong hard on the left cheek.
Li Weihong lost his balance, staggered two steps, and fell backwards to the ground.
She covered her painful face with her hands, and her vicious eyes shot towards Jian Xiaoxing like sharp arrows, with an expression of disbelief.
Jian Xiaoxing followed suit and repeated to Li Weihong exactly the lines he had just criticized her with.
Ah~
Li Weihong, insulted by this, screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
"Jian Xiaoxing, you did this on purpose---"
Sun Xueyi, director of the Party and Mass Department, who was watching the rehearsal, noticed something was wrong and ordered everyone to turn on all the lights.
Only then did Jian Xiaoxing see clearly that the auditorium was quite large, able to accommodate at least three hundred people. The stage with a huge red curtain was decorated with lights and was full of festive atmosphere.
Sun Xueyi frowned as he walked from the backstage to Li Weihong, helped her up, then sighed and said to Jian Xiaoxing:
"What are you doing? You're being so rude! Look, Wei Hong's face is all red and swollen."
Li Weihong sobbed and accused, "There's no slapping scene in my script at all, Jian Xiaoxing, you did it on purpose!"
The people who gathered around him gasped. Jian Xiaoxing was so bold that he dared to attack the daughter of a leader of the superior unit, Jinhai Chemical Plant!
The look Sun Xueyi gave Jian Xiaoxing was like a blade, slicing through her body and giving people a silent feeling of oppression.
Jian Xiaoxing suppressed his inner sarcasm and pretended to be terrified. He wanted to go over and check on Li Weihong's injuries, but he took two steps and hesitated to move forward. He seemed to be frightened by Sun Xueyi's attitude.
"Director Sun, I was just acting with Wei Hong. Wei Hong is the first friend I've made since I joined the factory. She encouraged me to act in this play with her. I didn't expect that I would use too much force."
Jian Xiaoxing did not confront them head-on. Firstly, she had just arrived at Jinhai Chemical Plant and there was indeed a huge gap in strength between the two sides. Secondly, the original owner was weak and if she acted too aggressively, it would not be in line with her personality.
Otherwise, with Jian Xiaoxing's personality, he would not be able to swallow this.
If she hadn't transmigrated into the book, the original owner would have been pushed down by Li Weihong and slammed against the wall to death. It was really easy for her to get slapped in the face by him!
Director Sun is the person in charge of the first anniversary celebration of Jinhai Chemical Plant.
All major performances in the factory are under the responsibility of the Party and Mass Department, which manages the auditorium. As the director of the Party and Mass Department, Director Sun is taking on such a large-scale performance for the first time, so he naturally does it himself.
He is in his forties, with fair skin and narrow eyes. He was transferred from a deputy director of the main factory.
On the surface, it was a promotion, but in fact, he was transferred from Jinhai City to Haicheng Development Zone, which was a distance of 100 kilometers. He was not willing to live here for a long time, and wanted to work here for two years and then be transferred back to the city.
Because of this relationship, he is more cautious in his actions, unwilling to stand out, and always acts as a peacemaker to keep things peaceful.
In this rehearsal, neither Li Weihong nor Jian Xiaoxing were innocent. Although Li Weihong was the daughter of a leader, that was something he heard privately. If he sided with Li Weihong, he would easily be accused of currying favor with the powerful.
Seeing Jian Xiaoxing's frightened look, his eyes softened and his words were no longer so harsh. Instead, he comforted Li Weihong, telling her that they were all friends and it was not good to be too unpleasant.
Li Weihong didn't expect Jian Xiaoxing to suddenly rebel against her, and she also knew that bringing up her father would be a troublesome thing, so she had to swallow her anger and reluctantly left the auditorium after being persuaded by Sun Xueyi and others.
Jian Xiaoxing watched them leave and clenched his fists.
Later, she came out of the auditorium and realized that it was already dark outside.
The air was filled with an unpleasant smell of gas. Perhaps the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, bringing the smell from the coke oven over.
Relying on the original owner's memory and the dim street lights, Jian Xiaoxing walked a few hundred meters, turned a few corners, and arrived at the staff dormitory.
Jinhai Chemical Plant is a new project of the main plant in Haicheng Development Zone, which is dedicated to providing coke for the nearby Haifeng Steel Plant.
After two years of planning and one year of operation, Jinhai Chemical Plant is regarded as the most vibrant enterprise in Haicheng Development Zone because more than half of its employees are newly recruited.
There are the most staff dormitories here, with six buildings in total. Because there are many single people and many people without houses, when building the houses, they simply planned to be more adequate.
However, because some local employees do not need accommodation, not all rooms are twelve-person rooms, and some have been converted into four-person rooms.
Jian Xiaoxing was lucky enough to be assigned to a four-person room on the second floor of Building 4.
As soon as she entered the room, her cousin Jian Xia stood up from the bed and came forward to greet her.
"Why are you so late? Did the rehearsal go well?"
Jian Xia is the daughter of my uncle Jian Baoguo. When the chemical factory was recruiting workers a month ago, they both passed the exam and got in.
She was assigned to the warehouse, where the work was relatively easy.
With her weight of over 140 pounds, she couldn't do any work that was too tiring.
Although she is fat, her skin is rare and fair. Her big eyes are like gems embedded in her face with a double chin, which is quite unique. If she can lose another 40 pounds, she will definitely have a graceful figure and be more beautiful than Li Weihong, who is good at dancing. She will definitely be pursued by a large group of young male employees.
Unfortunately, with her love for food, she reduced this chance to zero.
Jian Xiaoxing gave her a wry smile and said, "Come on, let's go take a shower first and talk while we're washing."
She saw that Jian Xia had already placed bath soap, Friendship brand shampoo and powder, towels, etc. neatly in the enamel basin.
The two took off their work rubber shoes, put on slippers, and walked hand in hand to the staff bathroom.
