"Which point? Tell me quickly." Xu Ye grabbed the other person by the neck.

"A woman, it's a woman, and her hair is blonde," the man in the night said in horror.

"She gave me my camera too. That's all I know. Don't do anything rash."

woman?

Blonde hair?

Isn't that a foreigner?
not……

fiancée!
Xu Ye suddenly remembered that he had a Russian girl fiancée to whom he had been betrothed since childhood.

She's the only one who might be interested in him.

But since she knew I was back, why didn't she come to see me directly instead of sending someone to follow me?
Xu Ye was somewhat puzzled.

"Alright, you can leave. Let's pretend today's events never happened, understand?" Xu Ye said to the man in black.

There's not much he can do; he can't just keep people here indefinitely, can he?

The man in black quickly grabbed his belongings and rushed out of Xu Ye's house.

He was worried that Xu Ye might suddenly change his mind and drag him back.

"Sister-in-law, I'm going out." Xu Ye lit a cigarette and prepared to go to the park.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Hang should have searched the park and it'll be about time for him to come looking for him.

"Be careful," Wang Huiyu reminded her.

Xu Ye had just stepped out when he ran into Lin Hang.

"Brother Ye," Lin Hang greeted first.

"Something came up today, let's go to the factory first," Xu Ye said as he stepped forward.

"Okay." Lin Hang didn't ask any more questions and handed the car over to Xu Ye directly.

So the two of them rode their bikes to the factory.

After having breakfast at the cafeteria, the two went their separate ways.

Xu Ye went to a new post and immediately felt the sweltering heat.

From afar, you can see the molten iron glowing red-hot.

Xu Ye squinted, adjusting his eyes to the scorching light in the workshop.

Sweat soaked through his back almost instantly.

He took a deep breath and walked towards his workstation.

"New here?" An old worker with a face covered in soot asked, smoking a cigarette as he looked him up and down.

“Yes, today is the first day.” Xu Ye nodded.

“Follow me and learn,” the old worker said briefly, turning and walking toward a huge furnace.

Xu Ye followed closely behind, the roar of machinery filling his ears.

Just then, he caught a glimpse of blue flashing past the workshop door out of the corner of his eye.

Xu Ye turned his head sharply, but only saw the backs of several people in work clothes.

"What are you daydreaming about!" the old worker scolded. "If you're distracted in the steel mill, you'll lose your life!"

Xu Ye put his mind at ease and began to focus on his work, just like the other person.

Honestly, there's nothing technically difficult about it.

Of course, this may be related to the fact that Xu Ye learns everything very quickly now.

After all, his brain has already surpassed the limits of human intelligence, and his IQ may already be comparable to that of geniuses.

Working here is not only tiring, but also makes you sweat a lot.

Almost everyone was shirtless.

It was so hot inside, with waves of heat surging through the air.

Although there are many fans on the walls of the factory, their effectiveness is mediocre.

However, Xu Ye was still wearing clothes, and the rate at which he was sweating had begun to slow down.

His body's regulatory system is too strong, and he also seems to be immune to both heat and cold.

He will be able to get used to the temperature after a period of time.

This ability to adapt can be considered a kind of superpower.

Before he knew it, Xu Ye had been working here for two hours.

The molten iron in the furnace shimmered with a blinding orange-red hue, and the heat distorted the air.

Xu Ye's back was covered with a fine layer of salt frost, but he operated the rolling mill control lever with a normal expression.

"You little rascal," the old worker said, wiping his face with a towel stained with oil and squinting at him.

"It's been three hours, and there's hardly any sweat on your face. How can you even keep your clothes on?"

Just as Xu Ye was about to answer, a sharp metallic scraping sound suddenly came from the direction of the conveyor belt.

The steel billet, three meters away, got stuck at the track joint, and its bright red surface began to turn abnormally white and shiny.

"The furnace is going to explode! Scatter!" The old worker's face changed drastically.

Chaos erupted in the workshop. Xu Ye, however, rushed forward against the flow of people, the intense heat scorching his eyelashes and causing a stinging pain to his exposed skin.

Just as the steel billet was about to melt through, he grabbed the high-pressure water pipe used for quenching.

laugh!
The billowing white steam instantly enveloped the entire workstation.

When the fog cleared, Xu Ye was using hydraulic shears to pull the deformed steel billet off the track.

The cooled metal surface had an eerie bluish-gray hue, like a dead giant python.

This place is really dangerous!
This old technology really should be phased out.

The furnace would explode at the drop of a hat, spewing out molten iron.

Of course, this doesn't mean the oven actually exploded.

There were some internal issues that caused a large amount of molten iron to splash out.

"Well done, your reaction time is really not like someone new." The veteran employee patted Xu Ye on the shoulder with an appreciative look.

"Come on, let's take a shower and have a good rest." With that, he led Xu Ye to the bathhouse.

Cracks crawled across the yellowed cement wall, and the hot water pipes groaned under the strain.

Xu Ye stood under the showerhead in the far corner, letting the warm water wash over him.

He was curious about when Huang Haoming would send someone to make a move.

This place is indeed a good place to start.

An accident can cover it up and leave no room for criticism.

After showering, everyone changed their clothes and went to the cafeteria for lunch.

Those in these positions get off work a little earlier because they are physically demanding.

Prolonged exposure to high temperatures is also too much for the body to handle.

Xu Ye was also very hungry, so she didn't wait for Lin Hang to join her.

After getting his food, Xu Ye carried the aluminum tray and found a corner to sit down.

The canteen was noisy, with workers gathered in twos and threes, shoveling food into their mouths and chatting about everyday matters.

He scooped up a spoonful of beef stew with potatoes; it was bland, and the pieces of meat were so hard they were gritty.

But he didn't pay attention, just chewed mechanically, his eyes occasionally glancing towards the cafeteria entrance.

Xu Ye didn't see anyone suspicious even after he had finished eating.

Xu Ye didn't leave the cafeteria immediately, but went to smoke a cigarette and waited for Lin Hang to appear.

A dozen minutes later, Xu Ye indeed saw Lin Hang's figure.

He came to the canteen with several coworkers, and it seems he's gradually making friends.

"Brother Ye." Lin Hang quickly walked to Xu Ye's side.

"You guys get off work earlier than us, right? You don't need to wait for me," Lin Hang said very considerately.

His coworkers had already told him about Xu Ye's situation in his position, so he didn't want to affect Xu Ye.

"Yes, I just wanted to tell you. Seeing you with the other workers put my mind at ease." Xu Ye said, patting Lin Hang on the shoulder.

"So, will we still commute to and from get off work together?" Lin Hang pressed.

During this time, he had gotten used to being with Xu Ye.

"We'll see, but it'll probably be difficult for us to be together," Xu Ye said helplessly. A hint of disappointment flashed in Lin Hang's eyes, but he still nodded: "Okay, Brother Ye, please be careful."

Xu Ye stubbed out his cigarette and, as he stood up, caught a glimpse of a figure flashing past the back door of the cafeteria.

The golden hair was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight, but by the time he looked closely, the person had already disappeared around the corner.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hang looked around in the direction of his gaze.

"It's nothing." Xu Ye looked away. "You go eat, I'm going back to my post."

With that, Xu Ye walked outside.

Although Lin Hang was not used to it, he knew that he needed to become independent.

He turned away from Xu Ye and went to get his meal with his coworkers.

Xu Ye walked out of the cafeteria, the scorching sun making the cement ground hot.

Xu Ye was very curious about how his fiancée, Natasha, also known as Qin Yun, had managed to infiltrate the boiler manufacturing plant.

Did they just arrive today, or were they here before and I didn't even notice?
Xu Ye decided to go back to the steelmaking area and ask the veteran employees if they knew if there were any new foreigners working in the factory.

After all, these people have their own gossip channels, and many of them live in the factory area, so they are very clear about everything that happens in the factory.

After asking around, Xu Ye discovered that no one knew the answer.

However, Xu Ye did not say that he had seen the person, thinking that the other party might have just appeared today.

Only in this way would they not know that a foreigner had come to the factory.

Ordinary new employees would certainly not know this, but foreigners are too eye-catching and will inevitably attract attention.

Xu Ye put his thoughts aside and continued working.

Nothing unusual happened in the afternoon, and Xu Ye finished his get off work smoothly.

After get off work, Xu Ye went to find Lin Hang to go home together.

When Xu Ye arrived home, he found Zhu Lin already practicing her martial arts in the yard.

As per Xu Ye's request, Wang Huiyu had already leveled and compacted the yard.

Zhu Lin was in a horse stance, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead, but her eyes were unusually focused.

When she saw Xu Ye return, she immediately straightened up and said, "Xu Ye, you're off work!"

Xu Ye nodded: "Yes, Sister Lin came back quite early today."

"Yes, I had fewer scenes to film today, so I came back quite early," Zhu Lin explained.

She has been on leave from the drug testing department during this period.

Her family already knew she was going to film a movie, but they didn't object.

However, she was not allowed to quit her job.

I guess they wanted to see how the show would turn out after filming.

At this moment, Wang Huiyu peeked out from the kitchen.

"Uncle, you're back? Dinner will be ready soon."

After saying that, she went back inside.

"Sister Lin, let's have dinner together at home tonight," Xu Ye invited.

Zhu Lin isn't going to work now, so getting food is definitely not as convenient.

"If you don't eat at work in the future, you can eat here."

"Just tell my sister-in-law in advance that she should cook more rice for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin nodded in agreement.

“I think it’s a good idea. I’ll get some tickets for Sister Huiyu later,” Zhu Lin said decisively.

Eating is indeed a problem, after all, filming is not like being at work.

Sometimes early, sometimes late.

Xu Ye smiled and waved his hand, "Sister Lin, there's no need to be so formal. Don't talk about tickets. Just think of it as having an extra pair of chopsticks."

Looking at Xu Ye's sincere expression, Zhu Lin felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

"I still need the ticket; it's useless to me anyway, so please don't refuse."

Xu Ye nodded and said nothing more.

At dinner time, the aroma of stewed cabbage wafted through the courtyard.

Wang Huiyu was carrying a bowl of freshly cooked cornbread.

There was also a pot of braised rabbit meat.

"Huh, what kind of meat is this?" Zhu Lin asked curiously when she saw a pot of meat.

"This is rabbit meat, does Sister Lin want some?" Xu Ye couldn't help but ask.

Some people don't eat rabbit meat.

"Of course you can, I quite like eating it."

"Sister Huiyu's cooking looks so good, and it smells so delicious." Zhu Lin looked very tempted.

"Then let's start eating." With that, Xu Ye picked up a piece of rabbit meat with his chopsticks.

It was indeed very flavorful, and Wang Huiyu's cooking skills truly surprised him.

"Sister-in-law, who did you learn this skill from?" Xu Ye asked curiously.

“My uncle, he’s a chef, and he taught me a little bit,” Wang Huiyu explained.

"With this level of skill, he'll definitely be able to open a restaurant in the future, and the business will definitely be good," Xu Ye couldn't help but say.

"Huh?" Wang Huiyu was taken aback.

These days, individuals can't open restaurants anywhere; it's not allowed.

Xu Ye then realized that he had let something slip.

"It smells so good, I'm going to have to eat two more bowls of rice for dinner." Xu Ye changed the subject.

Zhu Lin also thought it was delicious and couldn't stop eating it.

This rabbit meat has a slightly spicy flavor, making it very appetizing.

Honestly, she had never eaten such delicious rabbit meat before.

After dinner, Zhu Lin offered to help clear the dishes.

However, Wang Huiyu refused, feeling that Zhu Lin's fair and delicate hands were not meant for housework.

"You two rehearse your lines. I'll handle this kind of work; you don't need to worry about it."

Xu Ye didn't want Zhu Lin to do these things, so he said, "Yes, Sister Lin, let's go over the lines while we still have time."

"That way, we can finish filming quickly by the weekend."

Zhu Lin nodded and took the script out of her bag: "Today the director said he wanted to adjust our scenes together, adding a few lines."

Xu Ye took the script, and the two sat down on small stools in the courtyard.

Under the dim light bulb, Xu Ye carefully read the newly revised lines.

"Isn't the line 'We workers have power' too straightforward?" Xu Ye asked, pointing to the script.

Zhu Lin leaned closer to look: "The director said we need to highlight the characteristics of the era. What do you think we should revise it for?"

Xu Ye pondered for a moment: "How about changing it to 'We'll see the results in our workshop'? It suits the workers' identity without being too much of a slogan."

Zhu Lin's eyes lit up: "That's great! I'll write it down."

She took out a pen from her pocket and began to carefully revise the script.

Looking at her, Xu Ye couldn't help but be lost in thought.

The melody of "Daughter's Love" involuntarily came to mind, and then I sang it out.

"Xu Ye, what song did you just sing? It was really nice. I've never heard of it before," Zhu Lin asked with a curious look.

Although it was only a few lines, Zhu Lin thought it sounded really good.

Xu Ye had a bad feeling, and then said, "I wrote 'Daughter's Love' myself."

Yes, it could only have been written by him.

After all, this song hasn't been written yet.

"You can write songs, and you have this talent too?" Zhu Lin's eyes lit up.

"Quick, sing the whole song, I want to hear it." After saying that, Zhu Lin looked at Xu Ye expectantly.
