Chapter 211 Yesterday you ignored me, today I can’t reach you
Shen Meng said hello to Yu Xueli and took Wu Xianglan to the textile factory. The security guard had seen her before, especially last night when Director Hu Biao came to greet her in person and told her to be polite and invite Shen Meng in. So when he saw Shen Meng this time, he greeted her very warmly, which shocked Wu Xianglan very much.
"Sister-in-law, does this old man know you?"
"Hush, this uncle let you in because Comrade Hu Biao had informed me that I would send you to work today. Don't peek randomly. Be open when you look at people. You are really too sneaky."
Wu Xianglan felt a little embarrassed by what she said. She didn't want to be like this. Wasn't she afraid that people in the county would scold her?
Because Hu Biao had greeted them, the person who came to pick up Wu Xianglan was quite polite. He took her to the workshop after she was given a set of work clothes to prepare for work. Shen Meng stuffed a handful of candy into the person's pocket and pulled Wu Xianglan aside.
"Xianglan, take this candy. Be sweet when you meet people and get along well with them. You must always remember to build good relationships with others, otherwise when Zhou Jiaojiao comes in, she will probably make things difficult for you."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I've got it in mind. Go ahead and do your work. I think this sister is a kind person and won't make things difficult for me."
Shen Meng looked at the sharp-nosed, monkey-faced, shrewd woman. Wu Xianglan thought she was kind, but how could she open her mouth to criticize her when she saw her beautiful face? ? ?
"Okay, you can do whatever you want. I'm leaving now. I'm going to be late."
Wu Xianglan sighed as she watched Shen Meng walk further and further away. She stroked the work clothes she had just received and felt very happy. She hadn't done any work yet, but she had already received a set of work clothes made of such good fabric. If she wore it back to the village, all the men and women in the village would be so envious!!!
"What are you standing there for? Come here quickly, it's time to work."
"Hey, I'm here. I'm new here, and I don't know anything. You have to take care of me in the future. This is the candy my sister-in-law bought from Haicheng. Try it. You can't buy it in the supply and marketing cooperative in our county."
The elder sister, who had been waiting a little impatiently, looked much better immediately after seeing the candy that had just been stuffed into her hands. She took Wu Xianglan's hand and called her sister.
Shen Meng arrived at her workplace and saw a lot of snacks piled on her desk. She then looked around the office and her workstation. If it weren't for the pink mirror above her, she would have thought she had gone to the wrong place.
"What are you standing for? The train you're on is about to start selling tickets. Hurry up and take a seat. I've poured hot water into your cup. It's just the right temperature now. Drink it slowly."
"Why are you in such a hurry? We are rushing to visit the graves. Didn't Xiao Meng just get to work? Take a good rest first and catch your breath. If you want to buy a ticket, wait. If you can't wait, don't buy it!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Meng, the bag of red dates on your table is what I brought you. These red dates are really good, big and sweet. The ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperative are not as good as the one I brought you."
"And me, and me. I brought you a box of peach cakes. I rushed to the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. You are new here, so we should all get to know you. But I was so busy yesterday that I didn't even have time to say hello to you."
A group of people surrounded Shen Meng and started to get close to her. When these women saw Shen Meng enter the office yesterday, they acted as if they didn't see her. Now they had smiles on their faces and seemed very enthusiastic.
Wei Jia was standing in the outermost circle holding a glass of water. She wanted to get close to Shen Meng but couldn't. She was angry. These people were so funny. They ignored Shen Meng yesterday, but today they are trying to get close to her. Seeing that some people had already arrived at the ticket hall, but these people didn't go to their workstations, Shen Meng directly opened the small window on the workstation.
"I'm about to start selling tickets, so everyone go get busy. We'll talk again at noon. These things are very precious. Thank you for your life."
"What are you thanking me for? The candies you gave me yesterday were really rare. I took them home for my children to eat. My father-in-law said they were used by the Friendship Hotel in Haicheng to entertain foreign guests."
"Wow, is this true? Shen Meng, what kind of background do you have? How could you get the candies that foreign guests eat? Have you ever met the foreign guests?"
"What's so rare about it? Foreign guests are nothing but a nose and two eyes. But it's mainly because of Shen Meng's ability. The one yesterday must be the son of the director of the textile factory. He is also..."
"cough cough"
They talked with Shen Meng for a while, and saw that she was just smiling, and didn't say much useful information even when she opened her mouth to speak. For a moment, they couldn't help but ask her directly. Their family also had many connections, but who could be as close as Shen Meng? The son-in-law of a high-ranking county official directly called her sister and brought her meals. This alone was enough to show that Shen Meng had a very good relationship with the Li family, a high-ranking county official. It was possible that Shen Meng's identity as a countryman was just a smokescreen, and in fact, the people in the Li family might be afraid of her!
But just now there was a lady who was too direct, and someone next to her interrupted her immediately.
"Comrade, I want to buy a ticket from Ning County to the provincial capital. Here is the letter of introduction. How much is it?"
"Oh, comrade, let me take a look at your letter of introduction to confirm it. Okay, here is the ticket, a total of 20 cents."
When everyone saw Shen Meng started working, they all hurried back to their workstations. It was indeed time to go to work, and they did not dare to be too blatant. If they slacked off at work, Shen Meng would mention it to the county officials, and their bright future would be ruined.
As soon as the tickets for the two trains were sold out, Shen Meng went to Fu Meili's office and then went out with her lunch box. Everyone in the office looked at her, feeling a little disappointed. Going out with the lunch box meant that no one would come to bring her lunch today. For a moment, everyone thought that maybe the director guessed wrong, or maybe she just happened to know Comrade Hu and had nothing to do with the Li family.
Not long after Shen Meng left the bus company, he found a deserted place and entered the space. He had a good meal of spicy hot pot and drank a bottle of Beibingyang. He lay comfortably for twenty minutes before starting to work.
I put the infant formula powder into an old tin can, then found a large snakeskin bag, wrapped it with tape, carried it on my shoulder and returned to the office.
As soon as I arrived at the hall, I saw two people surrounding Hu Biao. Hu Biao looked very impatient, and his eyes were bright when he saw Shen Meng.
"Sister Meng, I'm here to bring you food again. Today is..."
"Didn't I tell you not to send it yesterday? I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative and had a big bowl of noodles. Now I can't eat dragon meat even if you give me it."
Hu Biao didn't say anything. He stared at the snakeskin bag she was carrying with his bright eyes. He couldn't hide his joy at all. Those were all food rations for his son!
