Chapter 1 A New Beginning
In May 2012, Li Yan came to the warehouse of Chuncheng Xianqi Clothing Co., Ltd. to report for duty. The 35-year-old Li Yan had been divorced for a year and was penniless.
A phone call from his high school classmate Zhang Shao, the son of the owner of this company, gave Li Yan, who was wandering around, a job again.
"Hello, my name is Ye Qing, I am the warehouse supervisor. Welcome to join us." A beautiful woman in her thirties greeted Li Yan with a smile. She was slender, wearing a large white shirt on the upper body and white pants on the lower body.
, white sneakers, noble and elegant, with extraordinary temperament.
"Oh! My name is Li Yan, please take care of me." Li Yan didn't dare to look at her and pretended to look around. The room was very large, with several tables and shelves.
"You can work here!" Ye Qing wiped a table with a cloth.
"Director Ye, I'll take care of it."
"You're welcome, just call me Ye Qing. Who are you in charge of? It turns out there are only three of us." After saying that, she had already wiped it off.
"What about my two colleagues?"
"Those two colleagues went on a blind date. The boy's name is Pang Cong and the girl's name is Huan Huan. They are both 28 years old this year. They are older singles and they will both come tomorrow."
"Are they going on a blind date separately or with each other?" Li Yan didn't know if he was being humorous or just being stupid.
Ye Qing smiled: "Of course we went on blind dates separately. It was a coincidence. We arrived on the same day. I couldn't cope with it. You just happened to be here. By the way, you have to work overtime tonight. Please tell your family."
"Needless to say, I am full and the whole family is not hungry."
"That's good..." Ye Qing said while writing in the notebook, as if to record attendance.
"Are you okay?" Li Yan looked at this cute girl with doubtful eyes, with long shawl hair, an oval face, and long eyelashes.
"No, I mean there will be a lot of troubles if you get married..."
Ye Qing raised his head and hesitated to speak, looking at the handsome older brother in front of him. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a long face, fair and elegant, thick black hair that was slightly curly, two curved eyebrows, single eyelids, and eyes.
Very bright, straight nose and square mouth.
Their eyes met, both of them blushed and lowered their heads. They were silent for a long time. No one came to the warehouse. The situation became more and more embarrassing. Li Yan even felt that he had nowhere to put his hands and feet. It was uncomfortable for a man and a woman to work together.
.
"Director Ye, don't you have to work overtime tonight? Let's assign tasks now! I will try to complete them in advance."
"It's okay now. A batch of 10,000 buttons arrived in the evening. We are responsible for dividing them into ten parts. There are ten groups in the workshop upstairs, each group has 1,000 buttons. There is a batch of clothes that are urgently shipped. We are just waiting for the buttons."
Li Yan was a little puzzled: "There's no need to work overtime? I'll finish the counting in a while."
Ye Qing stared with big eyes: "How can it be so fast? It turns out that counting ten thousand, it took the three of us a long time to count, and you are a novice..."
"You can't count them one by one like that. Is there a scale here? Count a hundred first and put them on the other end of the scale. Then put buttons on this end of the scale. After the balance is balanced, the buttons on this end don't need to be counted. They are just one.
One hundred. Then put the hundred buttons on that end, and then put the buttons on this side. When the balance is balanced, there are two hundred on that end and two hundred on this end..."
Ye Qing smiled, his eyes curled like crescent moons, "Yeah, good idea! Why didn't I think of it? I'll go buy a scale later!"
In fact, Li Yan is not very smart, but he has been working in a clothing company for these years. He was initially a machinist, using a sewing machine. When he was collecting accessories, he saw the warehouse staff counting buttons on a scale.
At this time, the mobile phone rang: "Brother Li, I can't buy a scale, can I use an electronic scale?"
"Electronic scales are fine too. You don't need to buy a big one." Li Yan put down his mobile phone and felt very pleased with the title "Brother Li". It is not easy to get the respect of the supervisor on the first day at work. You know that when you join a new company,
Usually if it is a dragon, you have to sit down, and if it is a tiger, you have to lie down, otherwise you will be hit by the old employees.
"I'm back!" Ye Qing walked in holding an electronic scale.
Young people do things quickly. It takes time to go to the toilet, and they bought tools for counting buttons.
Li Yan fiddled with the electronic scale: "Okay, this is easier to use than a scale."
"No one sells scales now," Ye Qing said angrily, "Did you learn this method in school?"
Li Yan did not answer, but smiled to himself. Counting buttons on a scale has indeed been done for many years. Now that technology is so advanced, who would buy a scale?
Ye Qing sat down and drank some water, "When I first came to work here, there were two old ladies here. They taught me how to count buttons one by one."
After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips and smiled, with white teeth and red lips. She smiled very cutely, as if to explain that she was not stupid, but those two old ladies were stupid.
Li Yan likes this kind of working atmosphere. The woman in front of him doesn't have much scheming, no! This girl, she is not like a woman, she is very pure, a standard lady, she has the temperament of a goddess, otherworldly.
Alas! What are you thinking about? She is a married woman, it is too much! He quickly transferred his brain from the state of random thinking to the state of meditation.
Li Yan is introverted. He talked too much today, and he was talking to a girl. He hasn't talked so much for a long time. His mouth is a little tired and he needs to rest.
"Do you want beef jerky?" Ye Qing handed over a small bag.
He originally wanted to rest his mouth, but another big job came up. Li Yan chewed the beef jerky hard and kept nodding: "It's delicious!"
"There's more..." Ye Qing wanted to take it from the bag.
"No...I won't eat anymore!"
In the afternoon, 10,000 buttons arrived. They were brought by a middle-aged man, probably in his forties. He is the company's Vice President Wu. He is not tall, has a dark face, bright eyes, and is smart and capable: "Hurry up and count them.
After counting, give it to the machine shop."
Li Yan and Ye Qing quickly counted a hundred buttons, weighed them, and then calculated the weight of a thousand buttons. They quickly divided the ten thousand buttons into ten parts and asked the people in the workshop upstairs to take away the buttons.
.
The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly, no need to work overtime, it's done.
In the evening, Li Yan's mother called and told him to go back if something happened.
