Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Fortunately, Zhu Qingan doesn't care about this.

There were only two leaders in the infirmary. After greeting them, Ding Qiunan officially entered the infirmary. Lin Zhiguo began to assign her tasks.

The steel mill is a large factory with 10,000 people, which is five times more than the machine repair factory. Therefore, the number of workers who come to the infirmary for various reasons every day is naturally much greater than that of the machine repair factory.

In one morning, a total of fifteen workers came to the infirmary, three of whom came to apply for leave, and the remaining twelve came to the infirmary to treat injuries caused by various reasons.

Lin Zhiguo dealt with seven of them himself, Ding Qiunan dealt with five, and Zhu Qingan dealt with none. He ate candied fruit, cracked melon seeds, and read books for the whole morning.

When they were having lunch together at noon, Bai Wanli habitually asked:

"Was it hard work today?"

"What's so hard about that? Today, Dr. Ding came to the infirmary for exchange and study. Director Lin assigned all the work to her. I've been reading and eating snacks all morning. What's so hard about that?"

Bai Wanli didn't expect that Lin Zhiguo had assigned all the work to Ding Qiunan. He had this idea, but before he could tell Lin Zhiguo, Lin Zhiguo had already done it.

"It seems that Director Lin is quite insightful. He has a bright future."

Although Bai Wanli loves his country, he does not have the strong spirit of risk and struggle that people of this era have. His wife is pregnant, so he thinks it is a good thing to be able to take a break.

Bai Wanli looked at Zhu Qingan's bulging belly and said:

"This is great. You are about to give birth in two months. It just so happens that there is one more doctor in the clinic. She and Director Lin are enough to handle the work of the clinic. You can just take a long vacation, take good care of your baby at home, and come back to work after the confinement period."

"You said I still have more than two months to give birth, and I have to rest for another month after giving birth, which adds up to more than three months, almost four months. How can a lesbian take such a long maternity leave?"

The current system is not perfect, and maternity leave is not as generous as the modern 98 days. Most female workers will not ask for leave until about a month before giving birth. Zhu Qingan's request to take leave more than a month in advance is indeed a bit early.

"I'm also worried that you'll be tired. If it's not easy to ask for such a long leave at once, then ask for it in installments. It happens that we will go to Heniantang to check your pulse this Sunday. Then ask Uncle Lu to write you a note saying that you are not feeling well and need to protect the pregnancy. Ask for half a month's leave. After half a month, ask for another half a month. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to take leave smoothly without breaking the rules?"

When she was three months pregnant, Bai Wanli wanted Zhu Qing'an to stay at home to take care of the baby, but she said that she was not pregnant yet and Dr. Lin could not handle the work of the clinic alone.

At that time, Zhu Qingan's belly was not too big, so Bai Wanli did not insist.

Seeing that Zhu Qingan's period was getting deeper and deeper, she often had to hold her waist when walking. Ding Qiunan happened to be here and could share the work of the infirmary. Bai Wanli brought up this matter again.

Zhu Qingan said with a smile:

"You've used your clever mind to think about how to ask for leave, right?"

"I didn't break any rules, so it's not a bad thing, right? How about I ask my aunt to come and persuade you?"

Zhu Qingan said coquettishly: "Okay, you are using your aunt to pressure me, right?"

Zhu Qingan knew that she could act like a spoiled child with Bai Wanli and throw a tantrum. As long as she acted like a spoiled child, Bai Wanli would not force her to do something she wanted to insist on.

But if it were Yao Ling, this method would not work when facing the elders who cared about her. She would probably have to accept the fate of staying at home to take care of the baby.

"How can this be called pressure? My aunt and I are just concerned about you."

"Okay, I know you and Auntie care about me, I will think about it carefully."

Bai Wanli was happy to see Zhu Qingan's attitude soften, and he coaxed her to eat.

At lunch time, there was no Nan Yi to deliver food to the steel mill, so Ding Qiunan could only take his lunch box to the canteen to get food.

Ding Qiunan's appearance is much better than Haitang's. In this steel mill where there are not many female creatures, she is stunning at first sight.

Many young workers stared at this strange beauty and whispered about her.

"Who is this beautiful lesbian? I have never seen her before."

"She is a doctor in the infirmary. I heard her last name is Ding," explained a worker who had been to the infirmary in the morning.

"Why does our factory have another factory doctor?"

"Isn't there one more person? Didn't a worker come here today to exchange ideas and learn? Doctor Ding is also here to learn and will be back in two months."

"Oh, you must seize the opportunity. I wonder if Dr. Ding has a girlfriend?"

"Doctor Ding just arrived. Maybe he has it in the previous factory? Who knows?"

Although the discussion was not loud, it still reached Ding Qiunan's ears. These voices that only discussed her appearance made Ding Qiunan very annoyed, but she couldn't get angry. She could only patiently queue up and get a portion of cabbage and pork slices and a white cotton bun at the cafeteria window.

An attentive and proactive male comrade wiped the chair next to him with his sleeve and said, "Doctor Ding! There's a seat here!"

Ding Qiunan, who didn't like noise, ignored him and walked out, causing laughter from the workers around him.

The mocked man blushed and angrily yelled, "Go away! At least I dare to take the initiative, you cowardly wimp, get out of here!"

Chapter 295 Ding Qiunan is fed dog food

Amid the commotion in the cafeteria, Ding Qiunan walked out with his lunch box and headed towards the infirmary.

Not long after I walked out, I ran into a man with a horse face pushing a bicycle.

"This lady is in such a hurry to go somewhere, I can help lead the way."

Ding Qiunan looked up and saw that the man had a long face and a small mustache. He looked a little vulgar, and he felt annoyed.

"I don't need help, I can walk on my own"

After saying that, he walked around the horse-faced bicycle and passed by.

The horse-faced man turned to look at Ding Qiunan's back, twisting his beard with his hand and whispering, "Is that direction going to the infirmary? How come there's such a beautiful woman in the infirmary just two days after I went to the countryside? I don't know if she has any relationship with Director Zhu. I'll have to find out later. I can't lose my life because of something in my crotch."

The horse-faced man is naturally Xu Damao. After the new year's work, he rode his bicycle to the countryside to show movies to his fellow villagers. After all, the villagers just need some entertainment during the New Year. He just came back today and met Ding Qiunan.

Xu Damao, the lecher, wanted to strike up a conversation with Ding Qiunan, the beauty, but Ding Qiunan, who was cold-tempered, cut off the topic without giving Xu Damao a chance to show off his eloquence.

Xu Damao had hooked up with no less than ten young girls and wives in the countryside, so he would not give up easily on a beauty like Ding Qiunan. However, after noticing that Ding Qiunan was walking towards the infirmary, he temporarily restrained his temper.

After all, when Zhu Qingan first came, some workers pretended to be sick or injured to go to the infirmary to see beautiful women. As a result, they were punished by the security department, and the fake injuries became real injuries.

After Bai Wanli established his prestige, the infirmary became the most untouchable place in the entire steel mill. Not only did no one dare to harass Zhu Qingan, but even the people around the infirmary also became quiet, lest they go to Zhu Qingan to complain and provoke Bai Wanli, the big Buddha, which no one could stand.

Xu Damao remembered Ding Qiunan's appearance and pushed his bicycle to the Propaganda Department.

"Chief, I'm back from the countryside"

"Oh, Damao, how was it showing movies in the countryside this time? Did you encounter any danger?"

"No, it was safe along the way and the fellow villagers were very welcoming."

"Chief, look, this is a little gift from our fellow villagers."

Xu Damao took out a piece of bacon and two bundles of eggs from behind him. The eggs were tied with straw, ten in a bundle, and brought them to Section Chief Li Weidong.

Li Weidong said with a straight face, pretending to be serious:

"Da Mao, we show movies to our fellow villagers to serve the people. How can you take their things? This is a serious mistake. Send them back to them immediately."

Xu Damao smiled shyly and said:

"Section Chief, I understand this, but the villagers were so kind that I couldn't refuse. They told me that if I refused to accept the food, they would just throw the meat and eggs into the mountains. I thought, isn't this a waste of food? That's why we can't bring them back. What do you think?"

"It's definitely not okay to waste food. There's nothing we can do about it. I'll keep the food for you. Don't do it again."

Li Weidong and Xu Damao hypocritically argued for a while, and finally accepted the gift from Xu Damao.

The Propaganda Department is not as lucrative as the Housing Management Department and the Purchasing Department. They will certainly not refuse gifts from their subordinates.

In fact, Li Weidong also knew what Xu Damao meant. He just wanted to climb up. Being a projectionist was not enough. He also wanted to be a deputy section chief and inherit his position as section chief in the future, or even climb to a higher position. For this reason, it was no secret that Xu Damao did not give gifts to the leaders of various factions in the factory. However, Xu Damao was still just a projectionist. No matter which faction in the factory, no one really recruited Xu Damao under their command.

Who told him that his father-in-law is Lou Bancheng? Although he has the title of a red capitalist and has not been cleared, he is still a capitalist after all. It is ridiculous for the son-in-law of a capitalist to want to pursue a career in politics.

Therefore, the attitude of all the leaders in the factory towards Xu Damao was to accept the gift but leave it to them later.

After all, as a capitalist's son-in-law, do you dare to report yourself for bribery?

Ding Qiunan took the lunch box back to the infirmary. About half of the people in the infirmary had taken their meals and came back to eat because it was quiet here and no one would disturb them.

Seeing Ding Qiunan coming back, several nurses shouted, "Hello, Doctor Ding!"

Ding Qiunan nodded to them and wanted to go back to his office to eat, but he had something else to ask, so he turned around.

"Can I sit next to you?"

"Oh, sure. Please take a seat, Dr. Ding."

The nurse moved aside a little and made room for the rest bench.

After Ding Qiunan sat down, he asked, "Why don't I see Deputy Director Zhu?"

"Director Zhu always goes to the Security Department to eat with Director Bai. Since Director Zhu became pregnant, Director Bai would come to pick Director Zhu up to eat together at noon every day. That's very considerate."

Ding Qiunan didn't know Zhu Qingan before, but when he combined the two keywords "Steel Rolling Mill Security Department" and "Director Bai", Ding Qiunan, who often read newspapers, immediately reacted.

"Director Bai? Is that Director Bai Wanli who was in the newspapers for arresting enemy spies?"

"Yes, there is no other director named Bai in the steel mill."

Ding Qiunan had never met Bai Wanli, but she had read about his heroic deeds in the newspapers and had some admiration for such a hero. Now she knew that Zhu Qing'an was Bai Wanli's wife, and her originally calm heart suddenly became a little turbulent.

This wave of emotion is not because of any thoughts about Bai Wanli, it is purely because of the contrast

Zhu Qingan and I were both women, both factory doctors. Zhu Qingan was able to marry such a well-known hero, but my partner was...

To be fair, Nan Yi is indeed not bad. In this era, being a chef is a decent and lucrative job. He has always cared a lot about Ding Qiunan and often finds ingredients to make various dishes to satisfy Ding Qiunan's appetite.

Ding Qiunan was originally quite satisfied with Nan Yi, otherwise she wouldn't have dated him, but she was always afraid of comparison.

Everything is afraid of comparison. No matter how good Nan Yi is, he will be instantly defeated by Bai Wanli.

This gap made Ding Qiunan, who was somewhat proud, suddenly feel a little disappointed.

The people around him didn't notice Ding Qiunan's thoughts and continued, "Everyone else in the factory said that Director Bai was very impressive and scary when he was working. How come we didn't feel that at all?"

"That's all because of Director Zhu. We all know how considerate Director Bai is to Director Zhu. He's always smiling, as if he's afraid that he'll scare Director Zhu if he puts on a stern face."

"Director Bai and Director Zhu, are they a perfect match?"

"No, no, a talented man and a beautiful woman refers to a couple where the man is talented and the woman is beautiful, but Director Zhu is also talented, otherwise how could he be a doctor? He also made contributions when he was a military doctor. Although his achievements are not as dazzling as Director Bai's, they are still incomparable to us. They should be called a match made in heaven."

Ding Qiunan silently ate a bellyful of dog food

Chapter 296 Ding Qiunan's Strangeness, Separation of Rooms

Maybe it was because he ate too much dog food at noon, but Ding Qiunan was a little out of shape in the afternoon. When he was stitching a small wound on a worker's hand, he didn't pay attention and the needle went straight into the flesh, causing the worker to scream in pain.
