Chapter 400 Xiaoyu Puts Her to Sleep
Director Shen sighed: "I reckon it's nothing serious. Sigh, in this kind of situation, it's a good thing that he's among the first to arrive."

A high-ranking official has defected.

The plane crashed.

Chen Qing pursed her lips. She didn't know what she had learned in history. She mainly remembered the days of the resumption of the college entrance examination and the reform and opening up. She had forgotten everything else.

"Then when will he come back?"

"I'm not entirely sure either." Director Shen scratched his head. "I told you this first because I went to great lengths to find out the information."

"Truly righteous."

Chen Qinghui.

Director Shen felt she was just being perfunctory: "Alright, I see you're not in a hurry, so I won't say any more. This matter needs to be kept secret."

"I know."

"Then I'll head back first. You've been promoted pretty fast, girl. It didn't take long before you became a director."

Even when he was young, he didn't get promoted as quickly as Chen Qing.

Chen Qing: "You better do a good job, or I might surpass you."

Director Shen was speechless.

He's a high-ranking department head!
But upon closer reflection, Chen Qing, now in his early twenties, is already a section chief, which is indeed not far from his position.

A sense of urgency washed over him instantly, and Director Shen said, "I won't give you that chance."

He finished his glass of water and left, hurrying off to work so that he wouldn't be overtaken by Chen Qing in a couple of years.

After the guests left, He Yuxiang came out and asked his aunt what had happened: "Is it related to your uncle?"

He knew beforehand that his uncle and Factory Director Shen were very close. This time, his uncle suddenly went on a business trip, and Factory Director Shen came suspiciously. They must be related.

Chen Qing thought for a moment and said, "You guessed right, but don't worry, your uncle is fine."

"understood."

He Yuxiang lowered his head slightly.

He didn't quite understand why adults were always going on business trips.

He Yuxiang returned to his room and listened to the radio while working, feeling somewhat down.

outside the house.

Xiao Yu is dutifully playing her role as a spy, holding an empty file folder, standing sheepishly in the corner, her eyes darting around, wanting to send the file but afraid of being discovered.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment, then took a deep breath with a serious expression and crawled forward at a snail's pace on the ground.

When Chen Qing came to find her, he saw her constantly gurgling.

In order not to hinder Xiaoyu from carrying out her mission, Chen Qing left temporarily. Only after hearing the children's cheers did he take Xiaoyu home.

Xiao Yu's face lit up with joy as she won. She shook her aunt's hand and asked, "Auntie, why did you call me home to take a bath so early?"

"I'm bored, I want to hang out with you."

"So what should we play?"

"Let's play ping pong. We can't let the ping pong paddles we bought go to waste. We'll call your brother to play with us later. The loser has to leave the table. Whoever loses the most has to sweep the floor for three days, okay?"

"Okay, okay."

Xiaoyu ran to her brother's room and pulled him out to play ping-pong.

He Yuxiang accompanied them with a bitter and resentful expression.

But as they played, their competitive spirit kicked in.

Because he was being completely dominated!

Xiao Yu cheered, "Brother's going to sweep the floor!"

He Yuxiang lowered his body, slightly hunched his back, and stared intently at the ping-pong ball. His phoenix eyes were long and narrow, and his dark pupils were extremely fierce, like a wolf cub hunting its prey.

The small yellow ball traced a short arc under the light. He swung his arm out suddenly, and Xiao Yu caught it steadily. Then he attacked fiercely. His small body could mobilize enormous energy in an instant.

He Yuxiang couldn't catch it, and he lost!
He was so angry he wanted to smash his racket.

With so many people watching at the entrance, he kept losing.

So embarrassing.

Chen Qing took to the field and fought back and forth with Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's eyes were burning with determination and her goals were clear. Once she got serious, her face would tense up, and her aura would burst out like a 'little sun'. If Chen Qing was even slightly distracted, he would be defeated by Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu twisted her body when she won, saying, "I'm the best, I'm the best." After playing ping-pong for an hour, Xiao Yu and Chen Qing had a 70/30 chance of winning, while He Yuxiang was always eliminated in the first round.

He Yuxiang has decided never to play again!

Chen Qing originally sensed that the boy was in a bad mood and wanted to coax He Yuxiang to play ping-pong so that he could get some exercise and relax a bit.

As it turned out, neither she nor Xiaoyu were good at or liked to let others win, so He Yuxiang lost completely.

Xiaoyu went to take a bath happily.

Then he happily scrubbed his dirty clothes.

She used to be afraid of getting her new clothes dirty and wouldn't dare to play freely when she wore them. Later, her aunt said that if she got them dirty, she could wash them clean; if they were torn, she could mend them; and if they were damaged, she could get new ones. She encouraged her to play boldly.

From then on, she played boldly.

She washed and hung the clothes to dry.

I told my aunt a story before bed.

Chen Qing turned to the side and watched Xiao Yu pat her while earnestly reciting "Little Soldier Zhang Ga," and her heart softened.

Ever since He Yuan went on his business trip, Xiao Yu has said she would come and tell her stories to comfort her.

Chen Qingxin readily agreed.

Because He Yuan and He Yuxiang had coaxed her in the same way before.

But she couldn't understand why He Yuan always chose stories like "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" or "The Shining Red Star" when telling Xiao Yu stories. They were all about the deeds of little heroes. Was that really suitable for putting her to sleep?
Xiao Yu curled up in her aunt's arms, mimicking her uncle's patting motions as he gently told her a story. She slowly finished telling the story and gradually fell asleep.

Chen Qing's lips curved into a silent smile.

She gently rubbed Xiaoyu's chubby cheeks and quickly drifted off to sleep.

When she woke up, Xiao Yu and He Yuxiang had already done a lot of work. Chen Qing tidied up and went to work, and on the way she ran into Zhang Dongmei, who rarely checked the checkpoint.

Zhang Dongmei greeted Chen Qing: "Chen Qing, are you still on duty?"

"hold head high."

Chen Qing touched the tip of his nose.

A little shy.

Zhang Dongmei smiled and said, "Then if I go with you, I shouldn't be late, right?"

"will not."

Chen Qing raised his wrist to check the time.

There's plenty of time.

At least two minutes will remain.

The watch was a gift from He Yuan, but she only dared to wear it after she became the deputy director of the factory committee.

Zhang Dongmei glanced at Chen Qing's watch with envy.

She wanted to buy it too.

But her immediate priority is to find a job for her younger brother.

"Chen Qing, I heard that the old man at the scrap yard wants to sell his job, but he's asking for six hundred yuan. Do you think it's worth it?"

How much is his salary?

"The starting salary at a scrap yard is eighteen yuan, but after six years, it's guaranteed to rise to forty-five yuan."

"Does being an apprentice at a scrap yard take a long time?"

Chen Qing had some knowledge about scrap yards.

Because He Yuan liked to go to the junkyard.

I would occasionally go and bring something home.

She also learned from He Yuan that apprentices at the scrap yard do not need to be assessed by their superiors, and they have to wait at least a year before they can become full-fledged employees.

“Yes, it will take at least a year, and even after a year, it will take… cough, some connections to get me a permanent position. Besides, people working at the scrap yard can’t eat in the cafeteria, so it’s very expensive.” Zhang Dongmei hesitated, but the opportunity was rare.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing said, "Six hundred is a bit expensive, five hundred is about right."

"you're right."

Zhang Dongmei plans to take leave and go home so that her father can talk to her.
