Chapter 137: Of Course I Know

Listening to the other person’s gentle voice, Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but smile.

“You’re really going out of your way, Sister Song. Sharpening pencils is such a small thing, I can do it myself.” Lin Xiangnan said politely.

“That won’t do. Your hands are so delicate, I get nervous watching you use a knife. From now on, I’ll take care of your pencils, Sister Song.”

Everyone who had worked with Jin Baoguang knew his temper. They only needed to show Lin Xiangnan a warm and friendly attitude like a spring breeze, and Lin Xiangnan would appreciate their kindness. Sister Song was very confident about this.

Jin Baoguang didn’t know he was being targeted. He was still grumbling at Chief Engineer Zhang, blaming him for transferring Lin Xiangnan away.

He needed to run to another office to find Lin Xiangnan for those difficult data.

“Xiao Lin, I’ll leave this data to you. It would be best if you could finish it by noon.” Jin Baoguang said gently and kindly.

Jin Baoguang’s attitude towards Lin Xiangnan was exceptionally good compared to others.

Many people in Lao Zhou’s team had never seen Jin Baoguang like this. After hearing his words, their expressions couldn’t help but become strange.

Everyone thought to themselves: “Oh no, Jin Baoguang has leveled up, he’s not easy to deal with anymore.”

And since Lin Xiangnan was busy with Jin Baoguang’s tasks, their team’s progress would be delayed.

Sister Song looked around, giving a disdainful glance at her team members who were holding them back. None of them were useful.

She stood up directly and said to Jin Baoguang, “Jin Gong, that’s too much. You’re already giving Xiao Lin extra tasks, and you still want her to finish it by noon. Xiao Lin is a treasure in our team, no one rushes her.”

“What do you mean? Xiao Lin is in our team, it’s normal to work on our team’s tasks first.” Jin Baoguang was dissatisfied.

“Yes, you only care about those tasks, you don’t care about Xiao Lin’s health at all.”

Sister Song looked at Lin Xiangnan with eyes full of concern.

Her attitude almost made Jin Baoguang angry.

“You’re talking nonsense! Isn’t Xiao Lin’s physique good enough? Besides, how can you say I don’t care about her?”

“Sigh~” Sister Song sighed, not arguing with Jin Baoguang, just looking at Lin Xiangnan with concern and said affectionately, “Jin Gong’s tasks are urgent, you do his first. You can work on our team’s data later, don’t tire yourself out.”

Sister Song took the lead, and Lao Zhou and the others weren’t really useless. They immediately echoed, “Yes, yes, Xiao Lin, don’t worry, we’ll take it slow.”

Seeing this, Jin Baoguang quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to force you to finish it by noon. I meant to try, try, you understand the word, right?”

When Jin Baoguang assigned tasks to Lao Qian and the others, he would require them to be finished by a certain time. But towards Lin Xiangnan, his tone and attitude were never harsh.

But his attitude towards Lin Xiangnan had already reached his bottom line.

Who knew that others had no bottom line.

“You people from the 131 factory are really…” Jin Baoguang’s vocabulary was a bit limited, he couldn’t find words to describe these people, he just gritted his teeth in anger.

How could he compete with them in this level?

Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but shake her head when she saw him like this, and retracted her gaze from the drama.

“Jin Gong, go back first. I’ll bring you the data when it’s done.”

Don’t stay here and get angry.

Jin Baoguang was indeed angry enough to go crazy, but before leaving, he still held back his temper and said, “I really didn’t mean to rush you, take your time.”

“I know.” Lin Xiangnan nodded with a smile.

Seeing Jin Baoguang leave, Sister Song and the others wanted to give themselves a dose of self-hypnosis again, but Lin Xiangnan quickly shook the folder in her hand, indicating that she was going to work.

Everyone dared not disturb her, and instantly quieted down.

No one spoke, they just secretly sent admiring glances to Sister Song.

A few words could drive Jin Baoguang away, their skills were really high.

Jin Baoguang suffered a setback in this office, but he was also concerned about his face. When he went back, he pretended nothing happened and just silently seethed.

After a while, he still couldn’t get over it, and suddenly raised his head and asked Sun Yi, “Am I not good enough to Xiao Lin?”

“You’re pretty good.” Sun Yi casually replied.

Getting this answer, Jin Baoguang lowered his head in satisfaction and continued working.

10 minutes later, Jin Baoguang couldn’t help but ask Lao Qian, “Haven’t I been considerate to Xiao Lin all along?”

Lao Qian replied strangely, “You’ve been quite considerate. Uncle Jin, why are you asking this?”

“The people in Lao Zhou’s office are whispering in Xiao Lin’s ear, saying that we are not good to Xiao Lin.” Jin Baoguang gritted his teeth and replied.

If you looked closely, you could see a look of grievance on his face.

Sun Yi, who was originally drawing, heard him say this, and the line in his hand immediately went crooked.

“Nonsense, they’re all talking nonsense, they’re not well-intentioned. Uncle Jin, don’t worry, Xiao Lin is smart, she won’t be swayed.”

Lao Qian also chimed in, “Xiao Lin is just on loan for a few days, she’ll be back in two days. Uncle Jin, don’t pay attention to them.”

Actually, Lin Xiangnan didn’t really care. It was work no matter where she worked.

Being transferred to another team to help could allow her to gain a deeper understanding of things. The more she knew, the more at ease she would feel.

Otherwise, she would always worry that they were making a bunch of junk.

With Lao Zhou, Sister Song, and the others, the work atmosphere was extremely harmonious. When Lin Xiangnan went home from work, her mood was still good.

Although she had someone to help her take care of the children, Lin Xiangnan still cherished the time she spent interacting with them. When she got home, she took over the responsibility of playing with the children.

“Xiaobao, did Mom make your new clothes? Why are the sleeves so long? They’re even folded up. It’s a bit ugly.”

Because they were all close, Lin Xiangnan didn’t hold back her words.

But as soon as she finished criticizing, Gu Zhenjun quietly raised his hand, his face turning red, and said, “Sister-in-law, I made these clothes. I wanted to make them bigger so Xiaobao and the others can wear them later.”

“Lao Liu made them?” Lin Xiangnan touched her nose awkwardly, “Lao Liuknows how to make clothes?”

Lin Xiangnan gave Gu Zhenjun the fabric, thinking he would go to the aunties in the family courtyard or ask Hu Meili to help him make the clothes. She didn’t expect him to have this skill.

“I do. I can sew and mend. I made these clothes using Sister Caixia’s sewing machine next door. It’s much faster than hand sewing.”

“You’re really skillful. But children’s clothes can be made to fit. When they get bigger, you can make them new clothes.”

Lin Xiangnan changed the topic and asked, “Didn’t I give you those few feet of fabric to make new clothes? Why aren’t you wearing them?”

“I’ve already made the clothes. They’re at home. I’ll put them on when guests come. I’m fine wearing these old clothes.”

When it came to thriftiness, even Hu Meili couldn’t compare to Gu Zhenjun.

Because Hu Meili still cared about appearances, she knew how to dress herself well. No matter how shabby Gu Zhenjun’s clothes were, he was still comfortable.

He used the fabric Lin Xiangnan gave him to make a set for himself, and the rest was used for the children.

Lin Xiangnan just mentioned it in the morning, and the new clothes the children were wearing in the afternoon became a perfect fit.

Moreover, Gu Zhenjun not only altered the children’s clothes in the afternoon, but also used scraps of fabric to stitch together a small crossbody bag and gave it to Lin Xiangnan.

She could imagine Gu Zhenjun frantically stepping on the sewing machine in the afternoon.

The small crossbody bag wasn’t ugly, it was quite nice, so Lin Xiangnan changed to a new bag when she went to work.

As soon as this new bag appeared, it received unanimous praise from Sister Song and the others, making Lin Xiangnan beam with joy.

Seeing her like this, Sun Yi couldn’t help but feel frustrated, “Your bag is just an ordinary bag. They’re just flattering you.”

“Don’t say that about them.” Lin Xiangnan defended, “I know they’re flattering me. But as long as they’re willing to put effort into it for me. Why are you so picky?”
