Chapter 143: Forget the Leave

“You’re always so free,” Jin Baoguang turned his head, gritting his teeth, and forced a defense, “I have a cold!”

Normal people are busy working at this time, only Lin Xiangnan could get off work early and wander around.

Jin Baoguang had secretly cried many times when he was sad, and he had never been caught before.

The only two times he was caught, he was caught by Lin Xiangnan.

Lin Xiangnan couldn’t read the situation at all, knowing something was wrong, he still moved closer, making him so awkward.

Didn’t he have any face?

Don’t look at him being under Chief Engineer Zhang in the 132 factory, but in their own factory, he was also a chief engineer level figure, very authoritative.

He didn’t dare to scold, Jin Baoguang could only ask resentfully: “Didn’t you get off work? Why aren’t you leaving?”

“I just wanted to care about you,” Lin Xiangnan didn’t even go to pat the dust on the edge of the flower bed, he sat down directly beside Jin Baoguang, “The test flight results are pretty good. Why are you still crying secretly?”

“Tears of joy, you understand?!” After Jin Baoguang finished speaking, he insisted, “And I didn’t cry, I just have a bit of a cold.”

His emotions were interrupted, and Jin Baoguang couldn’t cry anymore, but his snot was a little uncontrollable, so Jin Baoguang quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his nose.

After wiping, Jin Baoguang felt embarrassed again.

Lin Xiangnan had just complained about him being dirty!

Seeing this, Lin Xiangnan helped him save face, “Looking at it this way, the cold is really a bit serious.”

Then, she took out a clean unused handkerchief from her bag.

Jin Baoguang didn’t stand on ceremony, he took the handkerchief and used it to blow his nose.

After his nose was clear, Jin Baoguang said, “Everyone has been working hard these days, you’ve also been working hard. After this project is finished, you should take a good rest, don’t hurt your brain, and leave any sequelae later.”

Lin Xiangnan was a little surprised, but still accepted Jin Baoguang’s concern, “I know, I’ll take good care of myself later.”

“You’re a good kid, you’re considerate and understanding, you’ve never been bothered by my bad temper. After spending time together these days, I feel like I’m looking at my own child, but I should be going back next month…”

Probably because his emotions were running high, Jin Baoguang and Lin Xiangnan chatted endlessly.

When Lin Xiangnan’s eyes were red from listening, Jin Baoguang said, “Okay, I’ve said so much, you must be tired of it. Go home, I’ll go about my own business.”

Jin Baoguang got up and patted the dust off his butt, ready to leave.

“No, I’ll go, you stay.”

Lin Xiangnan was a little embarrassed, and quickly left, leaving this private space to Jin Baoguang.

She thought back to her own mentality of wanting to see a joke, and couldn’t help but feel a little ashamed.

After Lin Xiangnan left, Jin Baoguang looked at her back and mumbled softly, “A little girl, how can she be so hard-hearted, only her eyes are red, she didn’t even shed two tears?”

He, an old man, had more tears than her.

After the technical breakthrough, they, the group of technical personnel who came on business trips, were all going back to their own factories.

Their factories are different, but they all have the same mother, so there are many opportunities for cooperation. Even if he leaves now, maybe in a while, everyone will have cooperation again.

His crying was interrupted, Jin Baoguang lost face, and he also felt that the atmosphere was just right, he took the opportunity to build a relationship with Lin Xiangnan, trying to have a heart-to-heart talk with each other.

Doing ideological work for subordinates is an essential skill for leaders, and Jin Baoguang is not only good at scolding.

Lin Xiangnan was so persuaded by Jin Baoguang that she was full of fighting spirit, she rode her bicycle, and the cold wind blew, and her fighting spirit instantly extinguished by more than half.

“Forget it, winter is not a good time to work. Anyway, this project is almost finished, I’ll just take a long vacation for the New Year.”

Some people are just not suitable for chicken soup.

Lin Xiangnan thought embarrassedly: She’s going to disappoint Jin Gong again.

They had just had a pleasant conversation, and she wanted to secretly slack off again.

Although she was embarrassed, Lin Xiangnan didn’t have any thoughts of not rewarding herself.

The next day, Lin Xiangnan went to ask Chief Engineer Zhang for leave.

“I’ve been working continuously for half a year, I really can’t hold on anymore.”

“Is your headache acting up again?” Chief Engineer Zhang asked with concern.

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.” Lin Xiangnan nodded perfunctorily.

It wasn’t her body that couldn’t hold on, it was her mental state that was worrying. If she continued like this, Lin Xiangnan felt like she was about to become a real worker.

She didn’t intend to find a job anyway, and she didn’t care about the salary, she only came to help Chief Engineer Zhang and the others because of a sense of responsibility.

Now that the project has achieved initial success, all that remains is to modify some minor problems. Even if Lin Xiangnan took a vacation, she would be at ease.

Although Chief Engineer Zhang was reluctant, the most critical period had passed, so he had to reluctantly approve the leave.

When Jin Baoguang heard this news, he was stunned, “We haven’t even left yet, she’s taking leave first?”

He had just chatted with Lin Xiangnan about work, and Lin Xiangnan was still quite motivated.

How did she change her mind so quickly?

Chief Engineer Zhang looked helpless, “She has a headache, there’s no way. She can only go home to recuperate. But Xiaolin also said, if there’s anything, people can go to her house to find her.”

The family courtyard is also close to their factory, which is convenient.

After working for so long, Lin Xiangnan finally took a short vacation. When she had lunch, she happily shared it with her family.

“I can finally take a vacation. I’m going to sleep in and laze around for the next two days, don’t wake me up for breakfast.” Lin Xiangnan said confidently.

“How many days are you taking off?” Hu Meili asked with concern.

Lin Xiangnan picked up a piece of her favorite dish and said with a smile, “Let’s talk about it after the New Year.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the few people at the dinner table were almost choked.

Gu Zhenhua’s two brothers didn’t dare to say anything, they continued to eat honestly. Hu Meili, their biological mother, couldn’t help herself.

“Although you’re capable, your work attitude is wrong. Who works like you?”

Lin Xiangnan didn’t care, “I don’t rely on promotion or salary increase. It’s already pretty good to work like this.”

She took leave every day, her salary was half of her colleagues, but in terms of the work she did, she did more than her colleagues, there was nothing to be ashamed of.

It was already outrageous enough to take leave every day before, and now she’s taking a month-long vacation.

When Hu Meili worked, she didn’t dare to do this, she didn’t even want to take half a day off, for fear of being deducted from her salary.

Lin Xiangnan’s current conditions are better than hers, Gu Zhenhua earns a high salary, and all the money is handed over, Lin Xiangnan doesn’t lack money to spend.

So Hu Meili didn’t talk about salary, she only advised, “You’ve been away for so long, what do your leaders think of you? If someone else takes your job, your treatment might not be as good when you go back.”

If Lin Xiangnan was a female strongman who put work first, what Hu Meili said would not be unreasonable, but Lin Xiangnan is not.

“It’s good if someone else takes my job. I don’t like working anyway.”

“This child of yours just won’t listen. Kind words are harsh to the ear, who else would say this to you besides me, your mother.” Hu Meili couldn’t help but worry when she looked at Lin Xiangnan.

Lin Xiangnan wasn’t moved at all, “Mom, I don’t like to hear kind words.”

Hu Meili was choked, she felt like the rice in her bowl was no longer delicious, she couldn’t help but nag, “Can’t you be more ambitious? Working can’t kill you, and money doesn’t burn your hands.”

“Haven’t I always been like this? It’s your mentality that’s wrong.”

While they, mother and daughter, were arguing, Gu Zhenhua and Gu Zhenjun, the two brothers, just acted like deaf and mute, silently minimizing their presence.

These two are related, they can make up after arguing, if their two brothers got involved, it would be easy to cause trouble.

Lin Xiangnan didn’t care, she forgot about the argument with Hu Meili after it was over.

Hu Meili’s mood was a little upset, the next day, after Gu Zhenhua finished breakfast and left, Hu Meili took the child to Lin Xiangnan’s bed.

“Didn’t I say I wanted to sleep in?” Lin Xiangnan mumbled unhappily.

“You’re awake now. Take care of Xiaobao, I’m going to buy groceries.”

Lin Xiangnan was conscious, but it was cold outside, she didn’t want to get out of bed, so she could only hug Xiaobao and play in bed.

When Hu Meili came back from buying groceries, she saw that Lin Xiangnan still hadn’t gotten up, she was directly amused.

At the same time, she also felt a sense of admiration for Lin Xiangnan.

“Forget it, she’s my own, what can I do if she’s not ambitious?”

Without Lin Xiangnan coaxing her, Hu Meili calmed down on her own.

After staying at home for two days, Lin Xiangnan got bored herself, she saw Aunt Hua going to the city, and she also felt itchy, she took the initiative to follow.

“Didn’t you say you were going to lie flat at home? You’re already turning over so quickly?” Aunt Hua teased.

“I’m a little bored at home. My mother and Lao Liu are taking care of the children, and I can’t help much.”

When Lin Xiangnan went to work, Hu Meili and Gu Zhenjun cooperated to take care of the children, it didn’t matter whether Lin Xiangnan was at home or not. She was just a playmate at home, besides cooking, she couldn’t do anything else.

In the morning, Hu Meili took the child out for a walk, Lin Xiangnan was directly hooked by Aunt Hua and ran away.

Halfway there, Lin Xiangnan asked, “What are you going to do today?”

“I haven’t decided yet. I was originally going to wander around the old city. Since you’re here, why don’t we go to the museum? I haven’t been there for a while.” Aunt Hua said.

Lin Xiangnan agreed wholeheartedly.

Recently, the factory was busy, Lin Xiangnan was busy studying mathematics, physics and chemistry, and she spent less time on her hobbies, she had to go to the museum to recharge.

At the entrance of the museum, Lin Xiangnan saw the door with half of the door panel missing, “It’s only been a short time since I’ve been here. Why is the museum even more dilapidated?”

“No funding. It’s just going to stay like this. If it’s repaired, maybe someone will deliberately make trouble.”

Aunt Hua only managed to save the cultural relics in the museum, and she couldn’t do anything else.

As usual, they parked their car in the yard and went to the back warehouse to find the old museum director to open the lock and learn.

But because Lin Xiangnan and Aunt Hua hadn’t been to this street for a while.

A few new street hooligans saw them as strangers, and they stole her bicycle.

“Report it to the police.” Aunt Hua said.

“Walk to the police station? That’s half an hour. Why don’t we ask someone we know? If we delay too long, the bike will be gone.”

Lin Xiangnan was more inclined to find the street hooligans on this street to deal with the problem. If that didn’t work, she could ask the old ladies on the street, the old ladies’ intelligence was also not weak.

They only thought about finding other people, and didn’t intend to go back to ask the director. Because the director was not liked by the people on this street, he had been beaten and smashed before, and he had to go on stage to self-criticize. He didn’t like to go out, he had been hiding in the backyard guarding those things for peace for the past few years.

Buying a bicycle is recorded, not many people dare to buy a black car, but they can dismantle the parts and use them as repair parts, which is also very profitable.

Over time, a good bicycle can be dismantled to the point where the owner doesn’t even recognize it.

When Lin Xiangnan and the others went to find it, the wheels of her bicycle had already been dismantled.

The two thieves saw Lin Xiangnan, dropped what they were holding, and jumped over the wall and ran away.

“Why are you running? Put my bike back together for me!” Lin Xiangnan couldn’t help but chase after them.

She couldn’t ride back with the bike dismantled like this. She couldn’t walk back, could she?

The two thieves, one ran east and the other ran west, Lin Xiangnan could only catch one.

Lin Xiangnan grabbed the other’s collar, kicked him, and urged, “Hurry up, help me fix my bike.”

“The bike is back. When we go back, we’ll go to the police station and tell them to pay more attention to the security situation on that street.” Aunt Hua said dissatisfied, “This time it’s just stealing a bike. Next time, who knows what they’ll steal.”

Although the museum is dilapidated, with leaky windows, the valuable things inside are really not few.

Hearing Aunt Hua say to report it to the police, the thief couldn’t help but look up at Aunt Hua his expression a little ugly.

“What are you looking at? Get to work.”

This person didn’t dare to speak, he honestly opened the toolbox and put the parts he had just dismantled back together.

Maybe he had dismantled and assembled too many bicycles, this person’s hands were very skilled, a bicycle that had been dismantled half way, was quickly assembled.

The bike was assembled, Lin Xiangnan didn’t stand on ceremony, she directly tied up the thief and prepared to send him to the police station.

Lin Xiangnan saw that the thief was dark and thin, he didn’t even resist being tied up, she couldn’t help but say to Aunt Hua He’s so honest. He must be a tough guy. He won’t be locked up for long if he’s sent to the police station.”

“Is it possible that he’s honest because he can’t beat you?” Aunt Hua doubted.

The thief looked aggrieved, he gritted his teeth and didn’t speak.

Lin Xiangnan didn’t care about his expression, she was determined to send him to the police station.

But before they went out, the other thief who had run away came with a few people, blocking Lin Xiangnan and the others at the gate of the courtyard.

Aunt Hua looked at Lin Xiangnan, and said helplessly, “I knew I shouldn’t have listened to you. Now it’s a group fight, the nature is different, the police will definitely notify the unit to pick up the people.”

Lin Xiangnan looked embarrassed, “It’s really a bit embarrassing, why don’t we run?”

It’s not that they can’t fight, it’s that they can’t lose face.
