Chapter 166: Men and women work together without getting tired

After knocking and entering, Ran Qiurui discovered that Li Jianjun's office was in no way inferior to Director Yang's office.

This clearly demonstrates the importance that Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill attaches to the head of the security department.

At that time, the country had only been established for a few years, and there were still enemy agents.

Protecting the safety of the steel rolling mill became a top priority.

"Comrade Ran Qiurui, welcome to Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill for research."

Li Jianjun reached out and directly grasped Ran Qiurui's fair and delicate hand.

The feel of it is simply superb; the five fingers are slender, long, white, and tender.

The key point is that Ran Qiurui is a slightly chubby girl, and her little fingers really look like the roots of a scallion.

It feels fleshy and plump in your hand, which is a really nice feeling.

Just as their hands clasped together, Ran Qiurui felt an electric current flow from Li Jianjun's hands to her, which then spread throughout her body.

Ran Qiurui trembled slightly, her long eyelashes fluttering involuntarily, a sight that no man could resist.

"Comrade Li, this is all part of my job. I will need your strong support at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in the future."

Li Jianjun held Ran Qiurui's hand, reluctant to let go for a long time.

Ran Qiurui's face turned red, but Li Jianjun looked at her firmly.

Even up close, this beautiful woman is stunning from every angle, breathtakingly beautiful.

For Ran Qiurui, this was a milestone day in her life.

Having been single for over twenty years, this was the first time she had ever felt such attraction to a man.

My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it could jump out of my body at any moment.

A sweet feeling spread through my heart.

Is this what they call love at first sight, and falling in love again upon meeting?

This is too fast.

Li Jianjun knew that haste makes waste, and he would maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

"Qiu Rui, where do you think we should go for a walk today?"

Li Jianjun withdrew his hand and his gaze. After taking a sip of tea, he picked up his weapon, ready to get to work at any moment.

This change gradually calmed Ran Qiurui's excited heart.

Yes, she came to work today.

"How about we go take a look at the second workshop?"

"The data on the lathes we collected last time wasn't very accurate and needs further verification."

Li Jianjun put on his hat.

"I don't understand these technical terms even if you talk to me about them. Anyway, all I need to do is ensure your safety."

As Li Jianjun spoke, he walked behind Ran Qiurui.

He's almost 1.9 meters tall, but he's actually quite thin.

Perhaps sensing Ran Qiurui's concerns, Li Jianjun said with a smile.

"Don't let my small and skinny frame fool you, I'm quite muscular, and I even have abs."

"If I really encounter some thugs, even five or six of them wouldn't be able to get close to me..."

Li Jianjun's words made Ran Qiurui blush again.

How did this get into talking about body shape?

But Li Jianjun's physique was indeed standard, just like those Korean oppas we see in later generations, giving the impression that everything below the neck was legs.

Last time, Li Jianjun toured the entire venue with Li Ying; this time, he's with Ran Qiurui.

Both girls were exceptionally beautiful, like fairies in other people's eyes.

The two of them walking side by side inside the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill were like a beautiful sight to behold.

Just outside the security office, turn left and you'll find the restrooms.

They happened to run into Xu Damao, who had just finished cleaning.

Xu Damao was wearing rubber gloves and high boots, and his whole body reeked of a foul odor.

He looked up and saw Li Jianjun and a stunningly beautiful girl standing in front of him.

The overwhelming stench made Ran Qiurui instinctively cover her nose with her fingers.

She wasn't disrespectful to the toilet cleaner; the smell was just too overpowering.

Upon seeing Ran Qiurui's subconscious action, Li Jianjun immediately criticized Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, could you please clean the toilets at a different time? It's nine o'clock right now, which is the peak time for people to use the toilet."

"You're cleaning the toilets now, which not only smells bad but also disrupts people's work."

Hearing this, Xu Damao became furious.

What do you say?

You all go to work, and so do I. We all arrive here around 8 a.m., and then clean the toilets from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. It's perfectly normal.

Li Jianjun actually complained about his working hours.

But right now, Li Jianjun is the head of the security department, a very popular figure in Director Yang's eyes.

Xu Damao is someone you shouldn't mess with.

"Section Chief Li, when do you think is a good time for me to clean?"

Li Jianjun thought about it.

"Or it's when everyone gets off work, or during lunch break. Or it's around 11:30, when everyone goes to eat."

Absolutely.

Li Jianjun really picked a brilliant time; it was all after get off work hours.

So, Xu Damao has to work outside of his regular eight-hour workday to do this job.

Isn't this just making Xu Damao work overtime?

There were only six people cleaning the toilets, and each of them had a specific task.

There are over a hundred toilets in the entire venue, and if you divide the work among them, there are about a dozen or so.

Cleaning toilets is no easy task. Toilets in this era were not like those in later times, which were either flush toilets or squat toilets.

Modern toilets are mostly rudimentary, and some don't even have septic tanks.

Xu Damao had to use a manure scoop to scoop it out little by little, and then remove it bit by bit.

This is why people are unwilling to work as latrine cleaners.

To put it simply, Xu Damao couldn't even eat lunch after cleaning the toilets just once.

Li Jianjun is now making Xu Damao clean outside of working hours... This is simply...

"Section Chief Li, that's not right. I don't clean during work hours, and you're asking me to clean after get off work? Doesn't that mean I'm increasing my working hours?"

What Li Jianjun wanted was to increase his working hours.

"Comrade Xu Damao, don't you see that the workers in all the factories are working overtime right now?"

“Some employees now treat the factory as their home and don’t even go home to sleep. If you’re just a cleaner and you’re asked to work overtime, you’ll complain endlessly.”

"With your level of awareness, how can you keep up with others?"

Li Jianjun wasn't just trying to scare Xu Damao; with the establishment of the new Longguo, all construction industries would need steel.

The surge in steel production meant that even with steel mills working overtime, they still couldn't meet the demand.

Because of this incident, Director Yang has already fired several employees who were slacking off.

If Director Yang found out that Xu Damao was also slacking off and unwilling to even work overtime, it would be a problem.

Then it won't be long before Xu Damao is kicked out of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

After figuring out this relationship, Xu Damao suddenly realized that working overtime wasn't such a big deal after all.

Chapter 167 Controlling Xu Damao

"Section Chief Li, I was wrong. I was too naive. I will do as you say and clean the toilets after get off work from now on."

Xu Damao nodded in apology, his attitude one of utmost sincerity.

Only he himself knew that he was suffering in silence, unable to express his bitterness.

Li Jianjun really knows how to manipulate people; he completely controlled Xu Damao, leaving him speechless.

Ran Qiurui, who was standing next to him, thought that Li Jianjun had a particularly charming way of speaking.

As the head of the security department, his words really carried weight at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

He became the head of the security department at a young age, and his future is limitless.

Ran Qiurui had already developed a strong interest in Li Jianjun, and now she felt even more admiration for him.

After graduating from high school, Li Jianjun was able to rise rapidly in his position at the factory by virtue of his own advantages.

Whoever marries him in the future will surely have a good life.

"Alright, from now on, we'll work at this time."

Li Jianjun was very satisfied with Xu Damao's attitude; he had clearly mastered the art of "pragmatism is the best policy."

Unlike Sha Zhu, who couldn't recognize the situation at hand.
