At dawn in the morning, smoke rises from the courtyard.

Sha Zhu got up early and started to get himself ready. Today was Sister Qin's first day at the Red Star Steel Mill.

He didn't want to appear in front of Qin Huairu with disheveled hair and dirty appearance.

For this purpose, he even smeared some lard on his hands and combed his hair into a shiny style.

“So handsome.”

At this time at the Jia family, Qin Huairu also got up early. After preparing breakfast for Jia Zhang and others, she went straight to Zhang Xiao's house.

When she reached the door and was about to knock, she hesitated.

After losing the bet last night, Qin Huairu couldn't sleep all night.

She was a little hesitant when facing Zhang Xiao again, but she was not stupid.

But after seeing the Jia family's behavior yesterday, she didn't know whether her insistence was right or wrong.

When Zhang Xiao woke up, Qin Huairu was already busy in the kitchen.

"Xiao Xiao, come out for dinner." Qin Huairu shouted loudly.

"Got it." Zhang Xiao replied.

He quickly got up, put on his clothes, and went to the living room. Looking at the breakfast on the table, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but exclaim, "How can it be so simple!?"

Qin Huairu was stunned when she heard Zhang Xiao's words.

This is simple! ?

White porridge, fried dough sticks, and freshly steamed white flour buns.

"Is this easy? Many people can't afford such a breakfast."

Faced with Qin Huairu's question, Zhang Xiao was a little helpless. Indeed, many people had a bowl of white porridge or cornmeal porridge with a plate of pickles in the morning.

There really aren't many people as 'luxurious' as him.

"Okay, Sister Qin, remember to make meat buns next time. Eating too many big white buns will sore your throat."

"I know. Let's just eat it today."

Zhang Xiao grabbed the big white steamed bun, took a bite, and then looked at Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, after dinner, I'll take you to the steel mill to report."

"So soon!? Sister Qin is not ready yet."

"Then go buy some clothes first. Then report in when you are ready."

"Then...then let's go report first."

Looking at Qin Huairu's embarrassed look, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but laugh, and the big white steamed bun in his hand seemed to taste even better.

"By the way, it seems that yesterday's earnings have not been settled yet."

"System settlement reward."

'Ding, the host earned 623 yuan yesterday and received a D-level gift package.'

"Open the gift bag."

'Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 5 silk lace pajamas, 5 silk stockings, and a fully slaughtered sheep.'

"System, get out of here! Are you spying on my thoughts?"

'Ding! The system disdains to pry into the host's dirty thoughts.'

Hearing the system's strange answer, Zhang Xiao blushed slightly even though he was thick-skinned.

His eyes unconsciously looked at Qin Huairu opposite him.

Qin Huairu also noticed Zhang Xiao's murderous gaze and slowly lowered her head.

"I've been feeling bloated lately, and I can't finish eating all the Sophora japonica flowers..."

The two finished their breakfast in this weird atmosphere, and Zhang Xiao packed a breakfast and sent it to Xu's house.

Seeing that Lou Xiao'e was still sleeping soundly, he put it on the table and turned away.

"Xiao Xiao, this is my first time riding a bicycle!"

"Then Sister Qin, you have to hold me steady. This is my first time riding a bicycle, so I'm not very experienced."

Watching Zhang Xiao's clumsy performance, Qin Huairu couldn't help but pinch the thin flesh on Zhang Xiao's waist with her hand.

"Ride well. It's your first time riding a bike!"

"Don't think I don't know. It was drifting in front of the compound gate just now."

Zhang Xiao was helpless after being exposed. He had to hold the handlebars firmly and ride steadily on the road.

"I should have known not to show that drainage ditch around the bend."

Because Zhang Xiao went to the black market to get a bicycle, when they arrived at the Red Star Steel Mill, the workers had already been working for several hours.

It's almost time for lunch now.

"Sister Qin, if you want to be a fitter, why don't you change to an easier clerical job?"

"Xiao Xiao, can this be exchanged?"

"Of course, if you don't want to do benchwork, I can help you change it."

After hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Qin Huairu hesitated.

In fact, she didn't really want to do the job of a fitter. Last night on her way home, she happened to meet an old man named Yi Zhonghai who was enjoying the cool air outside.

Yi Zhonghai talked to Qin Huairu for a long time, hinting in a roundabout way that he wanted Qin Huairu to be his apprentice.

But Qin Huairu didn't want to.

She really hated the look that uncle Yi Zhonghai gave her last night.

There is no cover at all, just dirty desires.

For this reason, she told Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu about this matter, but in return she was insulted by Jia Zhang.

"Xiao Xiao, I want to change to a job that is easier."

"Okay, I understand. Just follow my instructions."

Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"Hey, Brother Lin, it's you who's on guard today!"

"Xiao Xiao!?"

"That's me. Zhang Xiao, the son of Zhang Jiangguo."

"I was wondering why you looked so familiar. It turns out you are Lao Zhang's son. You haven't been here for so many years. I thought I would never see you again."

"Look at what you said, Brother Lin. This factory is my second home."

Zhang Xiao said with a smile, and walked up to hand Lin Shan a cigarette.

"Wow! It has a filter tip. This kid is doing pretty well." Lin Shan put it to his nose and sniffed it. "Authentic!"

"By the way, you must have something to do here today, come and talk to me, brother, and see who dares to bully my brother."

"Hahaha, Brother Lin has nothing to do today. I just happened to meet you when I brought my cousin to handle the employment formalities. I was just worrying about how to get in."

Lin Shan looked at Qin Huairu beside Zhang Xiao suspiciously, and immediately understood the whole story.

Then he pulled Zhang Xiao aside and spoke in a low voice.

"Boy, did you send your workstation out?!"

Zhang Xiao did not hide anything. When he used to come to the steel mill with his father Zhang Jiangguo, he would always follow Lin Shan and play.

"Yes."

"Boy, this is a workstation in a steel mill."

"I know, Brother Lin, I know what's going on."

"Bullshit! What do you think? You haven't come to see Brother Lin for so many years, and now you come and make a big one for me. If you don't explain it, don't blame me for not letting you enter this door."

"Brother Lin, this is it. I'm going to go back to school. It's not easy to get into a university with my ability, so the workstation at home is just sitting there anyway. Why not give it away to earn some money so I can study?"

After hearing Zhang Xiao's explanation, Lin Shan finally let go of his hand.

Zhang Xiao's achievements are obvious to all of them, and Director Yang once even joked about it.

As long as Zhang Xiao can get into university, he can choose any position in the factory.

Lin Shan took a deep puff of cigarette and spoke softly.

"Okay! I've got the matter cleared up now. As for Old Zhang, you go and explain it yourself."
