Although the team leader is still a member of the engineers, there is a big difference, Chu Li has to go to Liang Kuo's office for a meeting every morning, and he will make a report once a week. In the future, he will also be invited to Carter's quarterly meetings (four seasons a year, three months per quarter), Carter is a Chinese-American, does not speak Chinese, speaks English throughout the whole process, and speaks about the overall situation and the progress of important projects. But the work of Chu Li and Sun Ning is very different, and senior engineers generally do not come up to the production line. Basically, meetings, presentations, meetings, presentations. Unless there is a major equipment failure, or a problem with a batch product, or a large-scale software update, or a special problem to be solved with a new product introduction, it will not occur on the production line.

After Chu Li was promoted, he took over Zhan Zhun and took the group to the day shift. On the first day of September, Deng Xinmin and Song Lianhua came to congratulate and congratulate, and Deng Xinmin also made a remorse, saying that he didn't expect that one of his emails would hurt Zhan Zhun, and said that he would cooperate sincerely with Chu Li in the future and resolutely not repeat such behavior.

Several girls in the workshop saw Chu Li coming in, and they all ran to tell Chen Jing, Chen Jing ran out with a smile, pulled down her mask, looked at Chu Li, and said I heard that you were promoted? Chu Li smiled embarrassedly and said yes.

Chen Jing kept standing there and laughing, dancing with her hands, ignoring the eyes of Chunlai and Xiaohong, pulling Chu Li's arm and saying that she wanted to invite you to eat and drink two taels, and Fan Ming also came over to join in the fun. Until Song Lianhua came over and shouted, saying that if he didn't return to his post, he would deduct the bonus. Chen Jingcai jumped in.

In fact, the final candidate is Chu Li, and the happiest person is Li Xiaohong, first of all, she is really happy for this guy, and then she can also be idle, Feng Zhao has not mentioned this matter recently, although he knows that he is angry in his heart. Li Xiaohong plans to mention to him at the end of the year that she will go home for a wedding banquet.

The second is that Chunlai is coming, Chunlai is not very old, he lives in a dormitory with Chu Li, and he also knows that Chu Li is a person, although he doesn't hate Zhan Zhun, but he is very convinced to be able to follow Chu Li. Chu Li is silent, but he is honest and generous. The most important thing is that I vaguely feel that the new boss has a temperament that he can't explain.

Although Chu Li is not a person who loves to be on the line, he still held a simple meeting and simply assigned the work according to each person's strengths. Everyone was secretly surprised that Chu Li knew everyone's background so well. Chunlai is familiar with the oscilloscope multimeter, responsible for diagnosing difficult errors, Chen Xi and Xiaohong are good at electronic technology, in charge of equipment circuit board maintenance, product defective preliminary analysis. Li Chen is responsible for preventive maintenance, Gong Qingren is a graduate of the Department of Computer Science and is familiar with the Linux operating system, so the maintenance of the server system belongs to him. Chu Li follows up on specific problems and casts that have difficulties that cannot be handled, and then summarizes himself in external communication and reports. Finally, I would like to ask you if you have any opinions.

Li Xiaohong looked at the atmosphere a little embarrassed, and said, "Why don't we let the team leader have a treat?" ”

Chunlai was the first to express his approval.

Gong Qing raised his hand, wanting to speak and stopped.

Xiaohong asked what was wrong? Do you have any comments on Xiao Chu's arrangement?

Gong Qing shook his head, said with a shy face, "Sichuan cuisine, okay?" ”

Everyone laughed together, and Chu Li said no problem, let's go to the Spicy Girl Sichuan Restaurant tonight.

Chunlai approached and said, just now you promised to invite Chen Jing and Fan Ming. Do you want to shout together?

Chu Li thought for a moment, looked at Chunlai and smiled again. "No way!"

"Are you so stingy?"

Chu Li knew that Chunlai wanted to deliberately anger himself. Keep shaking your head and say no.

And say, how about inviting them to join you on the weekend?

A sunny but slightly obscene smile appeared on Chunlai's face.

That night, the group got off work at seven o'clock, and Chunlai made an appointment with the Spicy Girl Sichuan Restaurant in advance, and asked Gong Qing to order the food. While ordering, I stick out my tongue in the spring. Say: "Slightly spicy and slightly spicy!" ”

The restaurant is only about 500 meters away from the company, but it still took about 20 minutes to walk there. Dongguan's night market is very developed, with crowded supermarkets and huge canopy stalls, where you can find almost all kinds of food. Guilin rice noodles, snail noodles, Chaoshan casserole porridge, Cantonese roasted rice, Wuhan hot dry noodles, fried rice noodles, chopped pepper fish head, Shaanxi Liangpi, Northeast stew, roast duck, XJ lamb skewers...... The whole nine yards. From time to time, there was a shouting of selling, mixed with the guessing of the drink, the disabled people singing on the street crying wolf, a woman screaming: "Grab the bag" and then the exaggerated sound of the motorcycle engine came, everyone followed the voice, a young woman was struggling to catch up, and both of them were wearing helmets sitting on the motorcycle. Passers-by continued to walk their own ways with expressionless faces. Chunlai elbowed Chu Li, "Uncle policeman, don't you help?" "Can you catch up?" Chu Li glared at Chunlai, "Also, don't shout." I'm not a cop, you know. ”

At that time, the daily life in Dongguan was like this, snitches snatching bags, searching bodies and snatching bags, and breaking into the house to grab bags, all of which were commonplace. Although the crackdown has been intensified in recent years, it is still difficult to achieve good control due to the huge migrant population and the uneven quality of the population.

Entering the Sichuan restaurant, the environment is much better than the stalls, and it is a lot quieter, and a few people went to the box booked by "Mr. Pang" on the second floor. It's already half past seven when you order the food. Spring come to us on the hour? Chu Li said I don't drink. Drink whatever you want, don't get drunk.

Chunlai was also polite and asked for a case of beer. A bottle of water well. He and Li Chen, Gong Qing, and Chen Xi shared the drinking water well, let Chu Li drink beer, Chu Li didn't drink a drop of wine, and helped Li Xiaohong order coconut water and began to eat side dishes.

Li Xiaohong stood up and patted Chunlai, "Sit over there, I'll sit next to the handsome guy." ”

"Am I not handsome?" Chunlai held the wine bottle in one hand and looked at Xiaohong.

"Don't be poor, let you go over."

"I want to sit next to the handsome guy too!" Chunlai's mouth was stiff, and he stood up and took the wine bottle next to Chen Xi.

"Chu Li!" Xiaohong leaned over and smiled like a thief again. Li Xiaohong has a big face, distinct facial features, red lips and white teeth, very standard and typical Shaanxi girl.

"Sister Xiaohong, what's the matter?" In fact, Li Xiaohong is less than a year older than Chu Li, but she joined the company many years earlier, and she took a lot of care of Chu Li and others, and Chu Li was still very polite.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Not yet."

"Do you have a favorite girl?"

Chu Li didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Hehe, it's Chen Si, right?"

There are a lot of people here, but fortunately, everyone is busy with their own work, and no one comes to listen to this ear. But Chu Li neither denied it, nor dared to be sure. First, I am afraid of ruining people's reputations, but denying it is also a bit hypocritical.

"I'll tell you, I'll see the way you look at her. But Chen Jing seems to like you a lot. ”

"When she was young, I treated her as a sister." Chu Li said the truth, "It's not easy to come out to work at such a young age." ”

"Well, I also think you and Chen Site are suitable." Li Xiaohong stretched the word "special" long, "But they are a little different from other female workers." ”

"Sister Xiaohong, what's the difference?"

"Don't you think Chen Si and Chen Jing look alike?"

"Oh, I know, they're sisters."

"What else do you know?"

"I don't know much else. Chen Si is quite capable, with quick hands and feet. ”

"Chen Si is an undergraduate student who dropped out of school in his sophomore year."

"Why?"

"I don't really know, but it's said that it's not because of money. It was because Chen Jing came to Dongguan, and then she came to take care of her. ”

"That's a shame......"

"There are a lot of this situation on the production line, and the 21st century is different from the 90s, many little girls come to work not because they are poor, but because they are ignorant and don't want to study, or they avoid studying. There are even some who were cheated out by their boyfriends. ”

"For example, Sister Xiaohong!" Chunlai put his hand on Gong Qing's shoulders and turned around and said.

"you!" Li Xiaohong glanced at him.

Li Xiaohong took a sip of the flower tea she brought and was silent for a while. And then he said,

It is said that Chen Jing came out with a boy she liked, and she was particularly depressed for a while. She wasn't so sunny and lively before. And Chen Jing is not ordinary, she is learning dance, she has been learning since she was a child, and her parents are very strict. But I don't know what's going on, I still fell in love, and then I got out of control. In the end, the family couldn't control it. And ran out. ”

Li Xiaohong looked at Chu Li who was in a daze and asked, "Who do you think is more beautiful among their sisters?" ”

"......" Chu Li was speechless for a while, "all beautiful"

"Then you can't marry them all, can you?"

"Sister Xiaohong, don't be kidding."

"Mao Xuewang is here, let's eat." Xiaohong looked at a large plate of red peppers with a happy face.

A few of them were already staggering, entertaining themselves, completely ignoring others.

"Have you ever seen Chen Jing dance?"

Chu Li shook his head.

"Last year, no, at the annual meeting the year before last, there was a program arranged by Chen Jing. She led the dance, danced the folk dance, and danced well. Let me tell you, this girl is in such a good shape. The boss's eyes were straight. ”

The waiter served a few more dishes, and the name of the dish was also very novel, what young woman undressed, returned to the pot meat, boiled fish.

Chunlai was a little drunk and kept taking a cup to find this and that. However, it can be seen that this kid has a lot of alcohol, Chu Li watched everyone eat hotly, but he stared at the slices of snow-white fish in the boiling fish tumbling in the oil pot and chili peppers.

"Has Chen Jing always been in our workshop?" Chu Li asked Li Xiaohong. Li Xiaohong was stretching her neck and rummaging through the bullfrog meat in the young woman's undressing with chopsticks.

"That's right, the workshop has never been changed. What's wrong? ”

"When did she get down, does Sister Xiaohong remember the approximate time period?"

Xiaohong blushed and put a piece of bullfrog meat in her mouth and said, "At the beginning of last year, I remember. ”

Chu Li's heart gradually became vigilant, what he had been suspecting might be the truth. "Chen Jing's boyfriend must be very handsome, right?"

Li Xiaohong took a sip of coconut water, "I don't know." Actually, it's kind of strange to think about. Why do you think she does a good job of secrecy? ”

"Did Chen Jing come to Dongguan first, or did Chen Si come first?"

"Chen Jing came first!" Gong Qing said, and then glanced at Li Chen, "Do you remember?" ”

Of course, I remember that Chen Si, who doesn't know that she should be a company in early 07. My sister came in the second half of 06, and it caused a sensation at the time, and Li Na hadn't come yet, to be honest, Li Na would also dress up. Li Chen, who drank the wine, also returned the customs, revealing the true face of his children's affection.

"When Chen Jing danced, everyone in our company saw it?"

"Yes, it was the annual meeting. The annual meeting of our division. Li Xiaohong said.

"Is the annual meeting held every year?"

"In the past, I basically did it every year, but I didn't do it last year, and I don't think it will do it this year. Because of the financial crisis, it costs a lot of money to hold an annual meeting! Li Xiaohong continued to pick bullfrog meat.

"Sister Xiaohong must be performing a show, right?" Chu Li deliberately looked at Li Chen and Gong Qing.

"Where, I don't like singing and dancing. In our department, I'm talking about Liang Kuo, and there are two programs. ”

Xia Hongfei sang Aaron Kwok's song, and then sang and danced. I remember it well. Another program ......" Chen Xi suddenly interjected.

Chu Li has been waiting for this name.

"Xia Hongfei is the handsome guy who played basketball last time, right?" Chu Li said with a deliberate smile

"What handsome, handsome, yin and yang weird." Spring is noncommittal.

"You don't know you in the spring!"

"Didn't you play basketball a few times?"

"Don't say it, there were a lot of girls who liked her before." Chen Xi said with envy.

"Is he in the class?"

"No, Xiang Yang Hua's class."

"By the way, at that time, is he Huang Jing's boyfriend?" Gong Qing was sweating from eating, holding a cold beer in his mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense. Chasing Yang Hua and Huang Jing can be chased tightly. Xiaohong motioned for everyone not to discuss Huang Jing.

"The handsome guy can sing and dance, when did he join the company?" Chu Li followed up on this line.

"He was assigned to the wafer department in the front section, and then applied to be transferred to our department." Xiaohong paused, "I came here at the beginning of 06, I remember." Because Feng Zhao once invited the team leader of the wafer workshop to dinner, he also came. Handsome guy, I always remember it. ”

"Where are you? I forgot to ask last time I played, but it's a pity. Otherwise, it's better to make friends. Chu Li snorted haha.

"Yichang's. He graduated from China Three Gorges University. Chen Xi said with certainty.

"Bah~" Xiaohong suddenly sighed. Then he didn't speak.

Chu Li glanced at Xiaohong. Then I asked everyone to eat and drink more.

When the meal was about to end, Gong Qing asked hesitantly, "Chu Gong, the scar on your back...... Looks scary. ”

Chunlai shook his head at Gong Qing.

"I was a little injured in a fight in the early years." Chu Li looked at Gong Qing and whispered.

Everyone didn't say anything more. Chunlai acquaintances stood up to persuade everyone to drink, and after a while, the atmosphere began to be active again.

It was almost nine o'clock when we finished eating, and everyone was very interested, Gong Qing and Chen Xi and Li Chen went to the supermarket. Chunlai and Chuli sent Xiaohong back. It gets dark very early in Dongguan. The street lamp coverage here in Shangsha, Chang'an is not very good, and some places are dark. Therefore, male colleagues have the habit of sending female colleagues back to the dormitory.

When he walked to the food stall, Chunlai answered the phone, said hello to Chu Li, and disappeared.

Chu Li and Xiaohong were left.

"Sister Xiaohong, I will take more care of you in the future, in terms of education and qualifications, you are my seniors."

"You're welcome, you're doing a good job, and everyone has confidence in you." glanced at Chu Li, "There's something I just remembered." Chen Si is also from China Three Gorges University. What a coincidence. “

"Thank you, Sister Xiaohong. These are all other people's affairs, and Chen Si and I didn't get to that job. I think it's all about fate. Please help me keep it a secret. ”

Saying this, there are still many questions in my heart. Chu Li suddenly felt a little tired. Maybe it doesn't make much sense to figure that out now. I am always different from others, I don't know if Chen Si has any thoughts after knowing his past. After sending Xiaohong back, wandering in the industrial park, the September day was hot and coaxing, watching the industrial park still full of people, just like standing in the corn field at night when I was a child, suddenly looking forward to a strong wind blowing.
