Chapter 198: Not Even as Good as a Little Girl

While there was no news from Gu Zhenhua, no news was good news.

Flood control wasn’t like war, there wasn’t such a high casualty rate. Sun Yi felt that Gu Zhenhua would probably be fine, and Lin Xiangnan was just panicking.

She understood Lin Xiangnan’s feelings, but their work couldn’t be neglected.

Seeing Lin Xiangnan’s soul drifting away, but her brain still working, Sun Yi silently piled a bunch of tasks on her.

After Lin Xiangnan finished dealing with them, Sun Yi cautiously reminded her, “Do you want to check again?”

“I’ve already checked, there’s no problem.”

Lin Xiangnan glanced at her disdainfully, “You’ve gotten high standards, you even doubt my accuracy.”

“I’m just afraid you’re distracted.” Sun Yi laughed awkwardly.

“My brain hasn’t been working well lately. I can only handle these simple data. I can’t learn anything too advanced.”

Lin Xiangnan sighed, looking up, “In the ocean of knowledge, I’m just a weak freshwater fish, I suffocate easily.”

Sun Yi managed a smile, not wanting to speak.

If it wasn’t for Lin Xiangnan’s bad mood lately, making fun of her would get her punched, she could have retorted on the spot.

Lin Xiangnan was smart, learned quickly, and if she encountered something she didn’t understand, she could learn it on the fly.

The books Lin Xiangnan read, Sun Yi would need a week to chew through, while Lin Xiangnan could digest them in a day. Their efficiency was simply incomparable.

Therefore, for problems she couldn’t solve, Sun Yi could only seek help from others, and then practice on her own later, she couldn’t possibly solve them on the spot.

Thinking about it, Sun Yi couldn’t help but envy Lin Xiangnan, then she piled another bunch of work on her.

“What are you doing?” Lin Xiangnan glared at her.

Sun Yi said with a sincere face, “What can relieve worries? Only work. If you’re busy, you won’t have time to think about other things.”

“Don’t be silly.” Lin Xiangnan wouldn’t fall for that, she wasn’t a workaholic.

Even though she wasn’t working all day, she still felt drained after work.

Volunteering for overtime? Forget it.

After work, Lin Xiangnan went back to her dorm and lay down, but she was worried about the recent weather, so she didn’t sleep well at night.

When she was woken up in the middle of the night, the rain had intensified.

There was a lot of noise downstairs, and flashlights were shining around.

Lin Xiangnan thought the flood had come, she was startled and quickly put on her raincoat and went out to check.

“What’s going on outside?” Lin Xiangnan asked anyone she could grab.

“The rain is getting heavier, the patrolmen found the warehouse leaking, we’re going to help move things.”

Since she was already awake, Lin Xiangnan quickly followed, “I’ll go too.”

The warehouse leak was serious, and it was discovered late, so the floor was already covered in water.

The security department didn’t shout, those who came to help were all those who heard the commotion and came on their own, men, women, old and young.

A group of people wearing raincoats, carrying and lifting, worked diligently.

“Oh my, such a heavy thing, can you handle it alone, young man? Let me help you.”

“No need. I can handle it, you go help somewhere else.” Lin Xiangnan refused directly.

When they got closer, the person on the other side widened their eyes, “Xiao Lin?”

“Jin Gong, you’re here too?” Lin Xiangnan was also surprised.

It was raining outside, the warehouse was leaking, everyone was wearing raincoats, it was hard to tell who was who from a distance.

But seeing Lin Xiangnan carrying something heavy, Jin Baoguang called him “young man,” even though Lin Xiangnan was wearing a red raincoat, it didn’t affect his perception.

“You child, why are you so enthusiastic? Go back after this trip, don’t catch a cold, we’re here.” Jin Baoguang said with concern.

“I know.” Lin Xiangnan finished speaking and quickly left.

Lin Xiangnan often had headaches and took leave, her weak image was deeply rooted in people’s minds.

So Jin Baoguang somehow felt that the box Lin Xiangnan was carrying wasn’t heavy, when he bent over to carry it, he didn’t use much force.

As a result, he almost twisted his waist.

“!!!” So heavy?”

Jin Baoguang rolled up his sleeves, ready to fight this box.

“Jin Gong, what are you doing? Don’t try to be tough, come and help me lift it. You’re in your fifties, you think you’re a young man.”

The colleague from the security department was very self-aware and took the initiative to invite Jin Baoguang to help.

Jin Baoguang awkwardly wiped his face, he had to admit defeat, “Alright. Together.”

As they lifted it together, Jin Baoguang pretended to explain casually, “I must have gotten water on my hands, it was a bit slippery, that’s why I couldn’t lift the box.”

“It wouldn’t have moved even if it wasn’t slippery.” The colleague didn’t give him any face, “Now the two of us are lifting it, and I’m still a bit strained. I don’t believe you can carry it alone.”

Hearing this, Jin Baoguang fell silent. He really couldn’t carry it.

But how come Lin Xiangnan looked so relaxed?

He didn’t see wrong, it was the same type of box. He didn’t quite understand.

After working so hard that night, Jin Baoguang couldn’t help but sneeze a few times when he went to work the next day.

Thinking about last night, Lin Xiangnan also got wet in the rain, Jin Baoguang quickly got up and ran to Lin Xiangnan’s office to express his condolences.

“Are you feeling unwell? If you are, go to the infirmary quickly, don’t delay, the longer you delay, the worse it will be.”

“I’m fine. I worked last night, I slept even better back in the dorm.”

When you’re tired, you sleep more soundly, and you won’t think so much. Lin Xiangnan’s complexion was noticeably more rosy today.

‘Achoo’ Jin Baoguang covered his nose and sneezed, his mind was a little dazed.

“Oh, Jin Gong, you’ve caught a cold. Don’t worry about me, you should worry about yourself.”

Lin Xiangnan’s expression was indescribable. Jin Baoguang was always so nosy, he was actually worried about her health.

“You go ahead, I’ll go to the infirmary.”

Lin Xiangnan’s physical fitness did give Jin Baoguang a little shock.

But he didn’t think Lin Xiangnan was too strong, he just felt that he was too weak.

“It must be because I’ve been sitting in the office for too long, only using my brain, no exercise, my physical fitness has declined.”

Jin Baoguang swallowed the cold medicine and wrote down the recent precautions in his notebook.

The first one was to strengthen the physical fitness of the department employees, encourage everyone to exercise.

It wasn’t easy being a leader, he had to care about his subordinates’ work, their health, even their love lives, he was like a second father.

During the department meeting, Jin Baoguang said, “When the weather gets better, you should also take time to exercise. Don’t try to slack off, I’ll check your progress during the factory sports meet.”

“Aren’t we in good shape?”

Jin Baoguang retorted, “Good shape? Of all the departments in our factory, our department’s men are the weakest!”

Not even as good as a little girl.

He had to be stronger than Lin Xiangnan.
