Chapter 157 It's like a concert
Her name is Qin Huairu, a well-known "social butterfly" in the steel mill. I admit that my heart was in turmoil when I saw her for the first time. She is like a rose with thorns, beautiful but dangerous, but people can't help but want to get close to her.
"Brother Chutian, why are you standing there alone? Come on, I'll help you cut in line!" Qin Huairu said, and took my hand to squeeze into the cafeteria. The smell of her powder mixed with a faint jasmine scent went straight into my nose.
I felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to pull my hand back, but was afraid of appearing too deliberate, so I had to let her hold it.
"Oh, isn't this Qin Huairu? Why is she so kind today and even brings people to cut in line?" The person who spoke was the fat aunt in the cafeteria. While serving food to the workers in line, she glanced at me from the side.
Qin Huairu smiled charmingly, "Auntie Fatty, what you said is because Brother Chu Tian has just come to our factory and is not familiar with it yet. I am worried that he will be hungry."
"Oh, you have a good mouth, you really know how to talk!" Aunt Fat obviously didn't buy her trick, and said sarcastically, "If someone didn't know, I would think you two were in some kind of relationship, why are you so concerned about me!"
Qin Huairu was not annoyed, but smiled more charmingly, "Oh, Aunt Fatty, please don't say anything nonsense. If this gets out, it will ruin my reputation!"
Their constant chatter made my face burn, and I wished I could find a hole to crawl into.
The workers around us also started pointing and whispering at us.
"See? I told you that guy is no good. He's only been here for a few days, and he's already hooked up with Qin Huairu!"
"That's right. You don't even look at your own moral character. You're not afraid of a toad wanting to eat swan flesh!"
"Hey, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you!"
I clenched my fists and felt my self-esteem being trampled on the ground.
After finally getting the chance to get my meal, I took my plate and fled the canteen.
Damn Qin Huairu, who asked her to meddle in other people's business! I cursed in my heart, but I could not help but smell the aroma of meat. I looked down and saw a piece of braised pork on the plate.
"Hey, boy, don't just stand there, eat quickly! I worked so hard to get this for you!" Qin Huairu followed me up at some point and looked at me with a smile.
I looked at the piece of braised pork, then looked at her, and for a moment I didn't know what to say.
"What? Do you think I'm dirty and refuse to eat the food I prepare?" The smile on Qin Huairu's face gradually disappeared and her tone became cold.
"No, I didn't..." I explained hurriedly, but didn't know how to continue.
"If you don't have any, eat it quickly!" Qin Huairu shoved the plate into my hand and turned away. "You're dilly-dallying like a woman!"
I watched her leave with mixed feelings. What on earth was this woman trying to do?
The cafeteria was packed with people, all queuing up for food, stretching their necks and waiting anxiously. The air was filled with the aroma of meat, mixed with various discussions, buzzing.
"Hey, did you hear? A pig was slaughtered in the cafeteria today!"
"Is this true? No wonder the meat smells so good today!"
"That's right. I heard that in order to celebrate our factory's output value breaking through the historical high, the factory director specially ordered to improve the food!"
"That's great! Our factory finally has hope!"
I listened to the discussions of the people around me and couldn't help but feel excited. It seemed that life in the factory was really getting better and better.
"That's right! This time, thanks to Chu Tian, we can eat this delicious thing!" A burly worker said incoherently while chewing the meat voraciously, "If you ask me, this young man Chu Tian is really this!" As he said this, he raised his thumb and gestured vigorously.
"Who said it wasn't true!" Someone nearby immediately echoed, "I heard that the factory didn't plan to improve the food, but it was Chu Tian who stood up and argued with the leaders, and that's how we got this delicious meal!"
"Oh, Chu Tian is such a thoughtful kid!" A middle-aged woman said with gratitude, "My husband works like a cow in the factory all day long, and he's been waiting for this bite of food! This time, his craving is finally satisfied!"
For a while, there were many compliments in the cafeteria, and I became a "hero" in everyone's eyes. The female workers looked at me with admiration and love, and some of the brave ones even blushed and laughed secretly.
All of this was seen by Jia Dongxu who was hiding in the corner. He was already indignant about my "heroic deeds" today, and now seeing me being praised by so many people, he felt even more jealous.
"Tsk, what's the big deal!" Jia Dongxu finally couldn't help but mutter in a sarcastic tone, "Didn't he just say a few words to the leaders? Everyone knows that he has a good relationship with the factory director. This is clearly a backdoor deal!"
Although his voice was not loud, it was particularly harsh at this moment. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everyone turned to look at him in surprise.
"Jia Dongxu, what are you talking about!" A tall female worker with two pigtails raised her eyebrows and glared at Jia Dongxu angrily, "Chu Tian, who is that for? It's for the benefit of all the employees in our factory! If you don't want to eat good food, just say it directly, don't be sour here!"
"That's right, that's right!" Another female worker also echoed, "Jia Dongxu, don't you look at yourself? You're idle all day long, and you still have the nerve to talk about Chu Tian? If you really have the ability, you should also report the situation to the leader!"
"I..." Jia Dongxu was speechless after being told off by several female workers. His face flushed red, but he was powerless to refute. He felt extremely aggrieved, so he could only glare at me fiercely, and left the canteen in a dejected manner, carrying his rice bowl.
I looked at Jia Dongxu's back as he fled in a panic, and a sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth.
I sneered in my heart. This woman was dressed up so gorgeously and her perfume could be smelled from two meters away. Who else could it be but Widow Wang who served food in the cafeteria?
"Sister Wang, are you here to inspect the work?" I deliberately said loudly, but my eyes glanced around as if unintentionally.
Sure enough, after hearing what I said, the originally noisy cafeteria suddenly became quieter, and many people looked in our direction with ambiguous expressions in their eyes.
Widow Wang obviously noticed the gazes of the people around her. Her expression changed slightly, but she soon smiled again. She reached out to hold my arm, but I cleverly dodged her.
"Hey, brother Chutian, what are you talking about? I'm hungry, come and get some food." As she said this, she deliberately puffed out her chest, trying to attract my attention with her proud figure.
I tried hard to suppress my nausea, took a step back, and said with a fake smile, "Sister Wang, with your figure and appearance, why do you need to queue up for food? Wouldn't any man have to obediently deliver the food to you?"
My words were merciless, and there were a few low laughs around me, and Widow Wang's face turned ugly. She glared at me fiercely and said through gritted teeth: "Chu Tian, don't be so ungrateful!"
I sneered and was about to speak when suddenly the crowd surged, followed by a deafening scream.
"Ahhhh! Chutian! Chutian, I love you!"
"Chu Tian, I want to give birth to a baby for you!"
