Not long after sending Zhang Qiang away that night, Yan Shuo sent someone to make an appointment with Xia Yanru to meet the next day, obviously he should have some eyebrows on how to gain a foothold in the black market of Hongpu City.

Lying on the wooden bed, the fire wall was burning in the room, and the temperature was very high, Xia Yanru just covered a blanket and pushed the quilt aside.

It stands to reason that with the climate in the southwest, no matter how cold it is in winter, it will not be like the north to use a fire kang or fire wall for heating.

But the predecessor of the house bought by Xia Yanru was the ancestral house of the Cheng family, the Cheng family was the home of the wealthy gentry, and the bedrooms of the masters of each house were all built very exquisite and luxurious.

At this time, Xia Yanru was still thinking about the topic of chatting at Ying's house at noon, the cause of Fang Niang's madness was definitely not simple, she cared so much about it, not just out of curiosity, but because she wanted to do something for Fang Niang, but unfortunately she knew too little about Huce Pass, no matter how she analyzed it, she still didn't have too many clues.

I don't know how long it took for Xia Yanru to fall asleep in a daze, but fortunately, before going to bed, she kept remembering that she was going to report to the pharmaceutical factory the next day, and she got up at dawn the next day without too much delay.

Zhuyuan is not open in the morning, it is generally a business of drinking at noon and evening, Zhang Bo lives in his own home, and in the courtyard of Zhuyuan Private Restaurant, there are only three Zhang Bo's cooks who live there.

The other courtyard was also assigned to Zhang Qiang, and the courtyards on both sides were directly separated from the courtyard where Xia Yanru lived by an inner wall, and the two courtyards could not directly lead to Xia Yanru's residence, but Xia Yanru wanted to enter the other two courtyards, but they each had two unknown secret passages.

"Comrade Xiao Xia, here, here." At the gate of the pharmaceutical factory, Xiao Li didn't know how long he had been waiting there, and when he saw Xia Yanru, he waved enthusiastically.

"Comrade Li, good morning." Facing the enthusiastic Xiao Li, Xia Yanru also responded with a smile.

"Good morning, I'm afraid you're not used to it, so I'm waiting here, and I'll take you to Research Room 2 to report later." Xiao Li explained that this was yesterday when Director Yang got off work and specially explained his work.

"Then it's hard for you." Xia Yanru didn't refuse, she and Xiao Li only met yesterday, it is estimated that they will be so conscientious and have something to do with Yang Zhongwei, anyway, they are all things that are beneficial to themselves, so there is no need to refuse to be strong.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, we'll all be colleagues in the future, and it's not troublesome to do this little thing." Xiao Li said politely with a smile.

The No. 2 laboratory is also called the civilian drug research room, but this second name is generally called so when it is distinguished from the military drug research laboratory, and most of them are directly called the No. 2 research room in the Hongqi Pharmaceutical Factory, as for the military drug research room, it is naturally No. 1.

The two of them came early enough, but when they arrived at the No. 2 research room, it turned out that there were even earlier, and there were not a few people who came here, which shows that the enthusiasm of people at this time for work is quite high.

"Yo, isn't this Comrade Xiao Li, what kind of wind is it today, blowing you here so early in the morning?" The one who spoke was a young man with a thin body, an ordinary appearance and a pair of eyes, this person's attitude was very familiar with Xiao Li at first glance, otherwise he wouldn't be so joking.

"Hahaha, Brother Yang loves to laugh, but I came here today, not because of the wind, but to lead the way for new colleagues, this is Xiao Xia, Xia Yanru, and I will be the pharmaceutical assistant of your No. 2 laboratory in the future." Xiao Li laughed straightly, and after a joke, he introduced Xia Yanru to the man in front of him.

"Pharmaceutical assistant!" For a while, the people in the office were surprised, and they all knew about recruiting pharmaceutical assistants in the research room, but this matter was just announced, and they all planned to fight for the opportunity to give their relatives and friends, but it didn't take many days for everyone to settle down.

"This Comrade Xiao Xia is from our county?" An eldest sister who looked about thirty years old suddenly asked.

"Sort of." Xia Yanru nodded, obviously feeling that the other party's attitude was a little unfriendly, she was a little strange in her heart, she didn't know the other party, how did this unfriendliness come about, but she didn't plan to investigate it deeply.

In fact, the eldest sister's full name is Hu Li, and she is indeed a little hostile to Xia Yanru, and the cause of this hostility is because of the job of a pharmaceutical assistant.

Originally, Hu Li relied on herself to work in the No. 2 research room for the longest time, and at the same time, her own man was also a deputy director of the factory office, knowing that the research room was going to recruit assistants, she wanted to leave the work to her own sister at the first time, but she was still in contact here, and the work was taken down by someone when she turned around.

"How old is Xiao Xia this year, has he learned about pharmaceuticals?" Hu Li continued to ask.

At this time, everyone present found that something was wrong with Hu Li, Xiao Li reacted the fastest, and immediately stopped Xia Yanru with a smile and said, "Sister Hu, look at what you asked, Xiao Xia didn't just come to work, and he will need the help of big guys in the future." ”

How much scruples about the unknown relationship between Director Yang and Xia Yanru, Xiao Li doesn't care about selling well, anyway, there is nothing wrong with his words, let alone not offending people.

Xiao Li doesn't know much about Hu Li, but because the other party's husband is a small leader of the factory office, as the right-hand man next to Director Yang, he is familiar with a bit of status in the factory, and he also knows that the couple will not hold grudges because of his words.

"Hehehe, Xiao Li just can talk." Hu Li said with a dry smile and didn't ask any more questions, anyway, there is an opportunity, at the moment she still can't figure out the origin of this new colleague, with her temperament, she will not easily offend people.

Xiao Li also smiled, didn't say anything to Hu Liduo, turned his head and continued to introduce other colleagues in the No. 2 research room to Xia Yanru, and when they got to know each other, Xiao Li also retired, and after being polite to Xia Yanru, he left the research room.

As soon as Xiao Li left, the office was quiet, and some people even put away the laughter just now, Xia Yanru didn't care, walked to the empty place pointed by Brother Yang just now and sat down, opened the carry-on bag, and took out the tea jar prepared inside and a jar of black tea produced in the space.

Speaking of Xia Yanru's preference for drinking black tea, whether it is before or after the end of the world, basically her drink types, except for boiled water, there is only black tea, generally like her age, she likes to drink some sweet and gasy, and she is the only one who loves to drink tea all day long like an old cadre.

"Yo, Xiao Xia still loves tea!" A middle-aged man at the desk next to Xia Yanru said with some surprise.

Xia Yanru remembered that this person was Lao Xiao, who was in charge of clerical work in the No. 2 Research Laboratory, and her first sense was the old-school style, but Xiao Li quietly mentioned to her that although this Lao Xiao acted old-fashioned, he was also a rare good-tempered person.

"Yes, my family lives in the mountains, and I am used to drinking tea, this is my own fried black tea, do you want to try it?" Xia Yanru smiled and handed over the tea can, but she was happy to share.

"Not today, I've been a little insomnia lately, next time I'll definitely try your handmade black tea." Lao Xiao waved his hand, insomnia is true, but he will not really stop drinking tea because of this, but it is the first time they meet, and he is embarrassed to take advantage of other little girls.
