Chapter 17

The next morning, when Du Yimeng passed by the Security Department, she suddenly stopped. Why did she feel that the people in the Security Department were different today?

There seem to be a few new faces. Could it be that the security department is recruiting new people?

She heard that the people in the security department are all retired veterans, and these newcomers are probably about the same!

Suddenly, a tall and straight figure caught her attention. She looked over and could only see his chest. Even through a thin layer of clothes, she could see the outline of his muscles.

He was like a drawn bow, ready to shoot.

The army green shirt is buttoned all the way to the top. It’s such a hot day, I wonder if it’s hot?

Her gaze continued to move upwards, and what she saw was a chin with light blue stubble.

After that, she didn’t dare to look at him any longer. Her first impression of this man was that he was very tall, taller than Director Yu.

A sentence from later generations involuntarily emerged in her mind: Green military uniform, red epaulettes, the strongest soldier on earth.

In this era, any soldier you pick out is a soldier king whose body has been sanctified.

Thinking of this, she left with light steps. With these people on the machine, what would a little girl like her have to worry about?

It was not until this time that the tall man’s eyes fell on Du Yimeng, and then he inadvertently shifted his gaze to other people.

Today, all the workers who enter the factory will subconsciously avoid his gaze and dare not look him in the eye.

On the other side, Du Yimeng just arrived at the technical department and saw a group of people standing at the door of her office. In addition to the people from the technical department, Director Yu was also here.

She was sure her watch was not broken. As for where she got it from, the system gave her a watch ticket as a reward on her first day at work. Later, she went to the supply and marketing cooperative and found a watch in her space, but she didn’t dare to take it out.

She came on time, she was not late, so there is only one explanation, that is, these people came early

Finally, she sighed helplessly. These people were too arrogant, making her, a normal office worker, seem a little slack and lazy.

“Comrade Xiao Du is here. Did you have a good rest last night?” Yu Hongru was just making small talk. He did not leave when it was time to get off work yesterday. He did not dare go back to rest until the person he was waiting for arrived in the late night.

Unfortunately, he woke up after just a few hours of sleep, so he came to the factory early.

“I’m fine. Thank you Director Yu for your concern!” As Du Yimeng spoke, her gaze fell on Director Yu’s face. Why did she feel that Director Yu looked a little haggard today?

“You just go about your business and don’t worry about me. I just came over to take a look.” Seeing that Du Yimeng was just staring at him stupidly, Yu Hongru could only urge her in a roundabout way.

Poor thing, he didn’t even dare to urge him openly. Which factory director would be as humble as him?

He now wished he could tie her up here 24 hours a day so that he could build the tractor quickly.

But he can’t do that. What if it backfires?

He reported the situation to Minister Wu yesterday, and Minister Wu insisted on coming to see it. He should be on the way now, and will arrive almost tomorrow. I wonder if this tractor can be made?

If by that time leaders from far away come and they still haven’t done it, it would seem that they are not strong enough.

Now every minute and every second is an incredible torture for him, and he is exhausted both mentally and physically!

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a good idea to let Du Yimeng take the initiative to work overtime.

“Everyone work hard, the factory will never treat you unfairly.” Yu Hongru said to everyone, but his eyes fell on Du Yimeng from time to time. He didn’t know if his words would work on her?

At this time, Du Yimeng was taking out the key to open the office door and did not realize Yu Hongru’s intention.

“Director Yu, don’t worry! There will be absolutely no problem with Comrade Du here.” People in the technical department expressed their opinions one after another. Although they are not very capable, they are very knowledgeable about the ways of the world!

As soon as Yu Hongru left, the people from the technical department took their things and went to a workshop to work.

“Everyone, work hard. If we can manufacture this tractor, our technology will definitely be comparable to that of the Soviet Union.” Song Zhi said proudly, swinging a large wrench.

This is what Du Yimeng said, and he believed it.

As soon as he said this, everyone except Du Yimeng became excited.

Everyone was working hard, and Du Yimeng couldn’t slack off. By the time she got off work, she could hardly lift her arms.

This is even though the physical work is done by other people, otherwise she would be exhausted in a minute.

“Xiao Du, your body is not in good shape! You are so young but not as good as an old man like me. You need to take good care of yourself. The kitchen will cook meat dishes tonight.” Song Zhi said quickly when he saw Du Yimeng slumped in a chair beside him.

“No need, Chief Song. I’ll go back and eat.” Du Yimeng’s heart skipped a beat. As the saying goes: There is no free lunch in the world.

Of course there is no free dinner, she always feels that Section Chief Song is planning something bad.

Besides, she was about to get off work, so how could she have dinner in the factory? Isn’t that taking advantage of the public?

“Xiao Du, don’t say anything. Everyone has seen how hard you have worked during this period. If you don’t go to eat, we will be even more embarrassed to go.” Song Zhi said with a sigh.

He silently said in his heart, I’m sorry Comrade Xiao Du, he is going to blackmail me morally…

“Yes! If you don’t go, none of us will be able to go either. It’s a pity to waste this meat dish. I haven’t tasted meat for a month.” Zhang Shu said with regret, and others echoed him.

“This…” Du Yimeng saw sincerity and regret on everyone’s face, and her vigilance slowly faded away. Could it be that the factory was really rewarding them?

After spending some time together, she found that the people in the technical department were relatively honest and not the type to be cunning and treacherous.

Even though she came later, she had never been excluded or suppressed as a newcomer. They treated her as one of their own, and she could not treat them as outsiders.

It was a rare benefit that the factory gave them. If they were unable to eat the meat meal because of her, then it would be her fault.

Just because she has enough meat to eat doesn’t mean they don’t.

Du Yimeng couldn’t refuse the kindness, so she could only tell Du Weihai that he didn’t need to wait for her to get off work, and then followed the people from the technical department to the small cafeteria.

The so-called meat dish turned out to be stir-fried shredded pork with long beans. To be honest, there were barely a few shredded pork in the large dish. Even so, the people in the technical department still subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

The same is true for Section Chief Song. Logically speaking, he is the head of a department and his family conditions should be good.

In fact, what Du Yimeng didn’t know was that Song Zhi’s family had more than a dozen people living together. As a grandfather, how could he compete with his grandchildren for meat?

He is the arrogant head of the technical department in the machinery factory, but in fact he has not had sex for a month or two.

Of course, he would never say this. He would suffer in vain for the sake of saving face.
