My Dongguan Love Story

When Tang Yan came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a white T-shirt and high-waisted jeans, with her hair in a ponytail. She looked like a pure and alluring goddess.

At that moment, she slowly walked towards me. I swallowed nervously, and I really wanted to hug her.

Seeing me staring at her in a daze, Tang Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, her previously serious expression softening:

"Is it pretty?"

"nice."

I nodded, gazing at the mounds of flesh on her white T-shirt, recalling the feel of them last night. I lingered there, still somewhat reluctant to leave.

"It seems you like me quite a bit."

Tang Yan saw me staring at her with fascination, so she smiled and winked.

"Um."

I nodded. I didn't dare say anything more.

I thought to myself, "It's more than just liking; I absolutely adore it! I wish I could love it all over again like I did last night."

Sigh, I can't have it again after just one time, it's making me really craving it.

Tang Yan noticed that I was staring at her, smiled, and came over to take my arm.

"Let's go have breakfast first."

Her warm gesture was a stark contrast to her seriousness when she chased me out of the living room last night, leaving me momentarily wondering what she was thinking.

What exactly is our relationship?

Can we play again like last night?

Full of doubt, I followed her downstairs and ate breakfast at a breakfast shop not far away.

By this time, there were already quite a few breakfast stalls downstairs, selling soy milk and steamed buns, as well as millet porridge, meat porridge, and steamed buns.

She went to a stall she often frequented and ordered two servings of soy milk and steamed buns.

I took a sip, and the soy milk was sweet and quite delicious. The steamed buns looked small, but I only ate them after a couple of bites. After that, I still felt empty.

I felt that even a few of these steamed buns wouldn't be enough to fill me up, and it would probably cost a lot of money to eat my fill, which wasn't worth it. So I went to the stall next door and ordered a bowl of braised pork trotter rice.

A large bowl of rice, sprinkled with braised sauce, topped with several pieces of pork trotters, steaming hot and fragrant.

I picked up the spoon and took a bite; it was quite delicious.

I had heard Er Gouzi say before that Cantonese braised pork trotter rice is delicious, and it certainly lives up to its reputation.

Tang Yan finished her steamed bun and then quietly watched me eat. After I finished, she asked me:

"Dazhuang, what are your plans for today?"

What are my plans?

Of course, I'm looking for a job.

Remembering what my cousin's wife had said this morning, I looked at Tang Yan:

"My cousin's wife told me that your factory is hiring? I'd like to give it a try."

Tang Yan nodded in agreement: "Sure, the wages at our factory are decent. I'll take you to see it later."

"Um!"

I nodded, and we walked to the entrance of the urban village. She hailed a motorcycle taxi, told me to get on first, and then sat behind me.

"Master, to Dingsheng Toy Factory."

"Okay, hold on tight."

The bald motorcycle taxi driver smiled and nodded, then twisted his right hand, and the motorcycle sped away.

Throughout the journey, Tang Yan didn't seem to be too discreet, sitting quite close to me.

Her factory isn't far from here; it only took about ten minutes by motorcycle to get there.

After the motorcycle taxi driver stopped, I looked up and glanced at the factory gate. Five large characters hung on the high beam:

Dingsheng Toy Factory.

It was rush hour, and the factory gate was packed with people, men and women, most of whom looked quite young. There weren't many older people.

Because I am not one of their employees, I could not go in directly. I had to register my personal information at the security room before I was allowed to go in with Tang Yan.

Shortly after entering, Tang Yan pointed to the office building on her right:

"That's the HR department. Go and have an interview. I'm going to clock in now."

"Okay." I nodded, watching Tang Yan's departing figure, and walked in the direction she pointed.

This building is a three-story building with multiple rooms on each floor, much like my elementary school classroom.

One of the rooms had a sign that read "Personnel Department".

I walked to the door and knocked:

"Is anyone here? I'm here for an interview."

There was no reply from inside after I finished speaking.

I craned my neck and peered inside. There were six workstations, but five of them were empty. Only one workstation had someone there, and that person was working with their head down.

The person was wearing a bright red top, with their hair down, and their face was obscured by their lowered head.

After a while, she seemed to have finished her work, looked up at me standing in the doorway, and waved to me:

"Come in."

"good!"

I nodded and walked in.

As I walked, I discreetly observed her. Her eyes were large and bright, almond-shaped. She exuded elegance. Moreover, she had a great figure, with a large V-neck on her collar that was dazzling.

As I walked up to her desk, I glanced down and caught a glimpse of something precious. Afraid of being discovered, I quickly looked away and found a stool to sit on.

Do you have a resume?

She looked up and glanced at my empty hands.

"no."

I shook my head.

"Do you have any work experience?"

"no."

I answered somewhat awkwardly.

I have no experience whatsoever, and I don't even know if they'll hire me. If they don't, I'll have to look for work elsewhere. A look of confusion flashed in my eyes.

But she didn't seem surprised that I had no work experience.

After thinking about it:

"Well, no work experience is fine. I can do odd jobs like loading and unloading goods. But are you willing to do them?"

Moving goods? I have the strength, so it's not a problem for me. The main question is, how much money do I have?

"One thousand yuan during the one-month probation period, one thousand two hundred yuan after becoming a full-time employee. Meals and accommodation provided."

1200 after probation? My eyes lit up, and it even includes meals and accommodation. I was quite satisfied.

"I'll do it."

Seeing that I agreed, she smiled and handed me an employment registration form.

Seeing that my name was "Chen Dazhu," he couldn't help but laugh and looked at me, saying:

"As his name suggests, he's quite robust."

After I filled out the form, she led me out of the personnel department:

"I'll take you to the loading department; you'll start work today."

"My name is Huang Ying, and I'm in charge of human resources and administration. Feel free to contact me if you need anything."

"it is good."

I nodded and walked towards the loading area.

There weren't many people in the loading department, only six. The team leader was Zhou Bin, who was 1.8 meters tall, which was considered quite tall for the loading department.

I heard that Zhou Bin has been working at the factory for more than five years and is a rather honest person.

As for the work of the loading department, they are mainly responsible for loading and unloading goods at the factory, as well as some miscellaneous handling tasks. For example, they are responsible for moving finished products from the assembly line to the warehouse or shipping them out.

I went into the loading area and saw them using forklifts to pull batches of cardboard boxes and move them to the containers.

Someone was driving a forklift past me, glanced down at me and Huang Ying, and then continued working.

"Team Leader Zhou, come here for a moment."

Huang Ying walked straight inside and waved to Zhou Bin, who was arranging goods.

Hearing the sound, Zhou Bin turned to look in our direction. After seeing us, he nodded, put down the goods he was carrying, and walked over.

"Team Leader Zhou, this is Chen Dazhuang. He will be working for you from now on."

"Arrange some work for him, and take him to his dormitory after get off work."

Huang Ying patted me and smiled, "Work hard."

After she finished speaking, she said goodbye to Zhou Bin and left.

Zhou Bin watched her leave, then looked at me, took a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to me.

"Hey bro, wanna smoke?"

Thanks.

When I saw him offer me a cigarette, I quickly took it with both hands, but put it behind my ear without smoking it.

After all, the people in the loading department are all working, and they're very busy right now. I can't just sit there smoking and slacking off.

"Team Leader Zhou, is there any work to do? Please assign it to me."

"Can you drive a forklift?"

Zhou Bin pointed to the forklifts that were loading containers.

"Won't."

I shook my head. Watching those three forklifts constantly moving goods, I actually felt a strong urge to learn.

"Um."

Team Leader Zhou nodded and pointed to a batch of goods not far away, saying:

"If you can't drive a forklift, then you can sort the goods."

I looked at the rows of cardboard boxes in the distance.

After listening to Zhou Bin's words, I roughly understood.

I need to stack these boxes of goods neatly so that they can be transported when the forklift arrives.

This is simple; it doesn't require much thought.

I walked over and carried the boxes of goods out one by one through the inner door.

Inside the inner door is the warehouse department.

The warehouse staff packed the finished toys into boxes, and we carried them out through the inner door and loaded them into the shipping container.

I looked at the unpacked boxes, and they were mostly filled with fluffy toys.

There are rabbits, tigers, and lions.

Different boxes contain different animals.

I first used tape to pack and seal the box securely, and then transported it out through the inner door (the inner door has stairs, making it inconvenient for forklifts to enter and exit).

Then arrange the boxes in order, and when the forklift comes over, it will pick them up and move them towards the container.

This job isn't complicated, but it's still quite tiring to move a lot of things.

The other two worked for a while, then got so tired that they sat down on the ground and didn't move.

But even after doing two sessions, I still felt full of energy.

Zhou Bin watched me carrying things from a distance and nodded in satisfaction.

They were very satisfied with my enthusiasm and physical strength.

Half an hour later, after all the toy boxes were loaded into the container, the truck drove away from the factory.

It was already past 11:40, with just over ten minutes left before midnight. After finishing their work, everyone stood scattered to the side, smoking and chatting.

"Did you know? I heard that Xiao Ze got into a fight with someone in the security room today and was called in by the HR department for a reprimand."

As I listened to their conversation, my eyelids twitched.

Xiao Ze? That blond guy from yesterday, he works at Dingsheng too?

I just don't know which department he's in.

Hearing their conversation, I quietly moved closer to eavesdrop.

Why are you fighting?

"It seems someone is saying bad things about Tang Yan."

As the man with the buzz cut spoke, he looked up at Zhou Bin.

Zhou Bin's fondness for Tang Yan was well-known throughout the factory.

He had liked Tang Yan even before she and Xiao Ze broke up.

Now that the two have fallen out, Zhou Bin feels his opportunity has arrived.

He went over every day to bring Tang Yan breakfast and lunch, being very attentive.

Unfortunately, Tang Yan ignored him.

Upon hearing their words, Zhou Bin nervously rushed over:

"What bad things did you say about Tang Yan? Is Tang Yan alright?"

Zhou Bin's anxious appearance surprised them.

When Zhou Bin looked at him, the man with the buzz cut quickly shook his head: "I don't know, I just heard about it."

"Um."

Zhou Bin nodded.

As I smoked a cigarette, I couldn't help but frown at Zhou Bin's concerned expression towards Tang Yan.

Judging from Zhou Bin's expression, he really likes Tang Yan.

If he finds out about my relationship with Tang Yan, I don't know how angry he'll be.

They might make things difficult for me.

Sigh, why think so much? Speaking of which, what is my relationship with Tang Yan? I don't even understand it myself.

Just then, I heard the bell hanging on the door ring.

This is the midnight bell that rings to signal the end of the workday.

We have a one-hour lunch break every day, from 12:00 to 1:00. When the bell rings to signal the end of the workday, it's time for lunch and rest.

"Time to get off work, let's go eat."

Everyone smiled when they heard the bell.

Let's go together.

Out of consideration for the new members, Zhou Bin invited me to go to the cafeteria with them.

Of course I'd be willing to go with them, since I don't even know where Dingsheng's cafeteria is.

Just then, a pretty young woman with a ponytail walked in. She was backlit, and her features were obscured.

Upon getting closer, they realized that the person was actually Tang Yan.

When the people in the loading department saw Tang Yan, they were taken aback at first, and then turned to look at Zhou Bin.

When Zhou Bin saw Tang Yan coming over, he thought she was coming to see him.

Smiling, he jogged a couple of steps and walked over to Tang Yan's side:

"Yan'er, what brings you here?"

He wondered to himself, why was Tang Yan unusually looking for him today? Could it be because she had sensed his sincerity after he had been so attentive in bringing her breakfast these past two days?

That's true, even though Tang Yan didn't seem to care much about me before. But people's hearts aren't made of stone.

Based on her persistent and devoted demeanor, she was much better than Xiao Ze, that womanizer.

Tang Yan was probably moved by her own pursuit.

Zhou Bin began to fantasize: Tang Yan would take his arm and walk him to the cafeteria for lunch. Then they would agree to go on a date after get off work, stroll through the park, and, overcome with emotion, kiss. And then...

He had even thought of names for their child.

If a son is born, he will be named Zhou Aiyan; if a daughter is born, she will be named Zhou Yan.

He chuckled, getting more and more engrossed in his thoughts. It wasn't until Tang Yan passed by him and took my arm that he suddenly snapped out of his reverie.

The others also looked surprised when they saw Tang Yan holding my arm.

Tang Yan ignored them and turned to look at me behind him:

"Let's go to the cafeteria together. You don't even know where it is, do you?"

I was stunned for a moment when I heard what she said.

Did Tang Yan come all the way to take me to the cafeteria for lunch?

After thinking about it, I realized that something wasn't right.

She must know that Zhou Bin likes her. The fact that she's coming to see me now, and being so intimate with me, means she definitely has ulterior motives.

So I looked down at her and asked:

"You came to find me just because you don't know where the cafeteria is?"

As Tang Yan listened to my words, a sly glint flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she tiptoed and gently kissed my cheek.

She smiled sweetly at me and asked, "What do you think?"

When Zhou Bin saw her kiss me, he clenched his fists in anger, his face turned pale, and his eyes glared at me with bloodshot pupils.
