AWDC Chapter 11
by VolareLin Xi tried his best to relax, pressing his face against Mu Chuang’s chest, his voice not very clear, “I know, thank you, Brother Chuang. You don’t need to deliberately protect me. I’ll be careful and try not to cause you any trouble.”
As soon as the last few words came out, Mu Chuang immediately became unhappy, “Do you think I’m afraid you’ll cause me trouble? If I were afraid you’d cause me trouble, I wouldn’t have brought you out here.”
After a pause, he continued, “The main thing is that the factory has a lot of rules. We should avoid what we can. If we really can’t avoid it, Brother Chuang doesn’t mind sticking his neck out for you. At least I can guarantee that you won’t be bullied.”
“Yeah.” Lin Xi didn’t mind his attitude this time, after all, what he said was true, and it was all for his own good. “Thank you, Brother Chuang.”
Grateful, his body relaxed involuntarily, and then he noticed that Mu Chuang’s body seemed to be warmer than the average person. Being held by him like this, he not only didn’t feel cold, but felt a little hot, as if he was next to a stove.
The muscles on his arm were also very firm, and it felt a little hard to rest his head on.
Lin Xi moved his head, trying to find a softer place to rest it, but Mu Chuang noticed his small movement.
“What’s wrong? Does Brother Chuang’s arm feel hard on your head?” He asked directly, “Or do you want to sleep by yourself?”
He felt that Lin Xi’s body was already warm, so even without him holding him, he shouldn’t be cold.
“Yeah.” Lin Xi felt as if he had been granted amnesty. Fortunately, Mu Chuang brought it up, otherwise, being so close to him like this, he definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep well.
Mu Chuang let go of him, pulled out his arm that he was using as a pillow, and tucked him in a bit more, “Sleep, you can’t sleep in tomorrow.”
“Yeah.” Lin Xi revealed half of his head outside, his voice a little muffled, and a little cute.
Mu Chuang smiled, finding him very adorable, and also feeling like he had accomplished a major task, because he had finally appeased this so-called younger brother.
A good night’s sleep.
At 6:30 in the morning, there was a commotion from the building next door. The early-rising employees were starting to wash up and then rushing to eat breakfast. The “thumping” sound of them going downstairs could be heard even through a building.
“Motherfucker,” Mu Chuang started cursing as soon as he opened his eyes, “Running so fast, are you rushing to drink the Meng Po soup? I still want to sleep for another ten minutes.”
If it weren’t for Lin Xi, he could sleep for another hour without any problem. Being in his position, he didn’t need to get up as early as the average employee. He could dawdle and arrive at eight or nine o’clock.
“Xi Xi~” Since he was already woken up, he simply woke Lin Xi up as well, “Are you awake? If you’re awake, I’ll take you to go through the factory entry procedures.”
“I told Li Chun yesterday to put you in their hot-pressing team. Their team is the earliest to get off work in the whole factory, and there are a few positions that don’t require working on the assembly line. The work is easy and you can slack off. As long as your Brother Chuang turns a blind eye, you can work easily.”
“Yeah, thank you, Brother Chuang.” Lin Xi was half-awake, but he still heard his words clearly, “Will people gossip about this in private? Will it affect you?”
“It won’t,” Mu Chuang replied, “Just go ahead and do it with peace of mind.”
“Yeah.” Lin Xi responded softly, feeling even more afraid of Mu Chuang seeing through his thoughts on top of being touched.
“Get up.” The oblivious Mu Chuang left the bed first, got dressed, washed up, and then started making breakfast.
“I ate too much last night, I forgot to buy breakfast.” He seemed to be talking to himself, and also to Lin Xi, “There’s only instant noodles for breakfast this morning. It’s too much trouble to go downstairs to eat. I’ll give you an extra dish for lunch.”
“Yeah,” Lin Xi replied, “Instant noodles are good, I like them.”
As he spoke, he also got dressed and washed up, and then waited to eat the ready-made breakfast.
But he warned himself in his heart that he couldn’t let Mu Chuang do everything for him. He decided that starting tomorrow, he would be responsible for breakfast.
One bowl of instant noodles each, but Lin Xi was surprised to find an egg at the bottom of his bowl, while Mu Chuang’s bowl didn’t seem to have one.
“Brother Chuang…?” He was a little embarrassed, “How did you…”
“Eat yours,” Mu Chuang answered calmly, “This is the only one left. You’re so skinny, like a monkey. If I don’t give it to you, am I going to give it to myself?”
Lin Xi was speechless. Although he was being lectured again, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. “Thank you, Brother Chuang.”
Besides thanking him, he couldn’t find any more appropriate words to say.
And the truth was, Lin Xi usually ate a lot. At the age of eighteen, he only grew taller and didn’t gain any weight, so he looked tall and thin, but he was still much shorter than Mu Chuang.
The two of them ate silently, and the saying “don’t talk while eating” was actually achieved at this moment.
After eating, Mu Chuang took him to the personnel department to complete the factory entry procedures, and then they went to the hot-pressing team.
According to Mu Chuang’s instructions, Li Chun assigned him to the position of cutting conductive paper, avoiding the assembly line. He didn’t have to be in a hurry. As long as he cut enough of the various models, he could slack off. In the evening, he could even get off work half an hour or even an hour earlier than the workers on the assembly line.
There was originally only one person doing that job. In order to save costs, she was left to work alone. She had applied several times, but had not been able to get another person assigned.
But Lin Xi was different as soon as he came. Not only was a cutting machine added, but he also reduced the burden on the original worker, which was a great help to her.
What one person could barely finish doing can now be divided between two people, it was simply too easy.
Some people quickly started gossiping in private, “You have to have connections, ordinary people don’t have this kind of luck.”
“That’s right, we don’t have any backing, so we can only watch them loaf around while we work ourselves to death.”
“But this is also good. Luo Lin has one more assistant, and the efficiency is higher. We can also get off work earlier. Although the impact is not very big, it’s still better than her doing it alone.”
“That’s true.”
Some people on the assembly line were grumbling, but they didn’t dare to be too loud, otherwise they would be fined if Mu Chuang heard them.
But the women in the QC Zǔ were different. They were the three who were chasing after Mu Chuang. As long as Mu Chuang wasn’t around, they could speak loudly, even if someone reported them, it wouldn’t matter.
If an employee complained, Mu Chuang would say, “If I catch them next time, I will definitely fine them.”
But the truth was, he had agreed with those three women in private that they couldn’t speak loudly when he was around, otherwise it would embarrass him. When he wasn’t around, they could do whatever they wanted, anyway, he wasn’t watching.
Therefore, employees who were dissatisfied with those three women would be complaining for nothing.
The QC group leader was a simp, and every QC she chose was good-looking. If you want to chase beautiful girls, you should go to their group, definitely.
And the three that Mu Chuang had his eye on were the most outstanding in their group.
