A foreign city, dear you

The check-in time is getting closer and closer.

"do my best!"

Cao Xueqian felt relieved, stepped forward, and walked into the door.

It is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse that cannot be avoided.

Besides, if he was late, wouldn't that give the two supervisors another reason to attack him?

"You kid, finally showed up?"

"Haha, have you been caught? Who will protect you today?"

The evil smiles of the two supervisors appeared in Cao Xueqian's mind.

But fortunately, the two expected faces did not appear in front of him immediately.

Cao Xueqian breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes involuntarily glanced at the mold workshop on the right, and found that the two supervisors were there, but neither seemed to pay attention to the entrance and exit of the door.

He looked away in panic, quickly punched in the time card machine behind the door, and slipped into the engineering department office opposite the door like a mouse hiding from a cat.

In fact, where could he hide? No matter where he is, it won't be a matter of minutes for the two supervisors to find him?

But he just subconsciously wanted to hide for a while, thinking that he could hide for a while.

The image of an ostrich flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The office of the engineering department is not big. There are three tables and three chairs placed against the wall from the door to the window, and a computer is placed on each table.

Jialin was already in his seat, he was at the front. There is a small square table to the right of his desk with a telephone on it.

In the middle is Zhao Dongping's seat. There is a printer next to his computer. He is not here today.

Cao Xueqian is in the last position. He was glad that he was at the end and not easily noticed.

If the two supervisors came to see him, their legs would have to carry them a few more steps.

The weather is very hot, especially today.

Cao Xueqian opened the window.

Looking out the window, I saw another factory building.

Cao Xueqian sat down on his mesh chair, turned on his computer, and clicked on the CAD drawing software.

There is a drawing on the file shelf on the left side of the table.

He took it out and spread it out on the table.

It was a drawing of a mold, but he couldn't understand anything. It's now just a prop for his pretense.

Every day, he pretends to be studying drawings or operating the computer.

When he felt "safe", he went out for a walk and got familiar with the milling machines, grinders and other equipment in the workshop.

But most of the time, he was in a daze.

He often stared blankly at the back of the two heads in front of him.

These were two heads that he admired.

Looking in front of him, the first one is the back of the head, proficient in mold design, with a salary of five thousand; the second is the back of the head of a northeastern man about [-] meters tall (Cao Xueqian can see it even with a back of the head in the middle), proficient in mold design, CNC programming, salary is [-]. We are in the same office, but we are vastly different.

A few days ago, he could use these two backs of his head as an example to keep pushing himself.

But today, all he could think about was: I wonder if I can still sit in this office tomorrow? Can you still see the backs of these two heads?

Not long after Jia Liwen was in the office, he was called to the workshop by the apprentice who started the machine.

Cao Xueqian did not dare to hang out in the workshop today.

His buttocks were leaning on the chair, his two uneasy eyes glanced at the door from time to time, and his two mouse-like ears kept listening for what was going on outside.

Once there was any trouble, he would have to deal with it with all his "pretending" skills.

The workshop slowly became busy. Various machines began to operate, and various noisy sounds were mixed together.

Time passes so slowly!

He suffered minute by minute, and finally the morning passed, but the two supervisors did not come to see him.

Did he think too much? Or are the two supervisors too busy to take care of him?

He secretly prayed in his heart that he could spend the afternoon and evening safely. As long as Zhao Dongping comes back tomorrow, he will be safe.

In the afternoon, the weather gets even hotter.

Looking out the window, the sun is shining brightly.

The temperature in the workshop is very high. Even in the office, you can feel the heat wave in the workshop from the door, mixed with the smell of oil and plastic. Cao Xueqian still stayed seated as before.

Jia Liwen also stayed in the office, probably relieved to let his apprentice operate the machine alone. He turned on the wall-mounted fan to the highest setting and let the fan move his head to blow the air fiercely.

Neither of them spoke much.

The two of them usually had little to say, let alone this afternoon, Cao Xueqian was so preoccupied that he didn't want to talk at all.

The time is approaching five o'clock in the afternoon. In a little more than an hour, it will be time to get off work.

Cao Xueqian began to feel lucky. Maybe he really took the matter seriously? What will they do to me?

Cao Xueqian was thinking this when suddenly, he saw the fat figure of Boss Xu.

Boss Xu glanced around the workshop. He probably couldn't bear the sweltering heat of the workshop, so he walked straight into the office on the far left opposite the door. Why is Boss Xu here? Doesn't he come rarely?

Cao Xueqian murmured in his heart. Since he came to this factory, this is the third time he has met Boss Xu. He didn't know why, but he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

As expected, it didn't take long for Cao Xueqian to see the figure of the deputy director, Lao Dong.

finally come!

Whatever is coming will come, there is really no way to hide.

But don't panic, stay calm.

Maybe, he just came to test me as usual and asked me to make a mockup?

Cao Xueqian was about to pretend to be busy, but Lao Dong did not come to him. Instead, he called him from a step or two away: "Cao Xueqian, come to the boss's office."

It’s over! You're not testing me! You really want to settle a score with me!

Cao Xueqian's whole body suddenly felt like a deflated ball, weak and weak.

It turns out that the two supervisors have not come to see me today, not because they are kind to me, but because they know that the boss will come, and they have been waiting for the boss to arrive, so that my departure is finalized.

Cao Xueqian stood up.

What can he do? He had no choice but to follow Lao Dong out.

Jia Liwen was still looking at the book in his hand without raising his head.
