Chapter 101: A Beauty Has Her Owner - The Daily Gossip of the Sickly Young Aunt in the Compound

No matter how nervous Lin Qing was, they had finally arrived at the machinery factory!

As a security guard at the factory, he was familiar with about eighty to ninety percent of the workers. Unexpectedly, early that morning, he saw a very unfamiliar yet extremely beautiful woman sitting on the back seat of Cen Xi's bicycle.

Since he hadn't been on duty the past two days, he didn't recognize Lin Qing, who had visited several times before. Moreover, Cen Xi was quite a celebrity in their factory!

After all, this young engineer had caused quite a stir when he first arrived at the factory. The most critical point was that Cen Gong was single at the time, attracting the attention of countless aunties and grannies. Cen Gong remained unmoved and eventually found a wife on his own, much to the relief of the aunties who had been trying to set him up.

He guessed that this woman might be the wife Cen Gong had found for himself!

Cen Gong's standards are really high; no wonder he didn't take an interest in the women those aunties and grannies introduced!

"Cen Gong, is she your wife?"

"Yes, she's starting her official job at our factory today." Cen Xi's words were somewhat restrained, but one could still detect the pride in his tone.

"Oh, really? Your wife is really amazing! I heard someone went crazy in the factory yesterday because they didn't pass the exam! They even questioned the fairness of our factory. This exam was really fair! Your wife is impressive!" He offered a small compliment.

Hearing this, Lin Qing's eyes twitched slightly, and she suddenly felt that the person being described seemed vaguely familiar.

Could they be talking about Lin Shu?

She had been too excited yesterday. After returning from her parents' house, she was too nervous about starting work the following day and, in the midst of it all, forgot!

Seeing Cen Xi's puzzled expression, Lin Qing knew he had been too busy with work lately to pay attention to the latest gossip.

She remembered Cen Xi mentioning that there was an engineer in their department with whom he got along well. This engineer loved to gossip and often discussed it with him. Considering how much this engineer loves gossip, if Cen Xi hadn't heard about yesterday's incident, it must mean they were really busy!

She'd tell him about it after work this afternoon.

Cen Xi suddenly remembered that the incident had happened the day before.

"Really? There was such a thing?"

"Yes, I heard they checked several papers yesterday and found no issues, which shows how fair and just our factory's assessment was this time."

Cen Xi suddenly glanced at his wife. "Wife, do you know about this?"

Lin Qing looked back at him, blinked, and gave a slight nod.

"I forgot to tell you earlier!" Lin Qing explained briefly.

Cen Xi immediately understood. His wife clearly knew about the incident and might have even been there to witness it!

Cen Xi gave Lin Qing's hand a squeeze, signaling that everything was okay.

After registering, Cen Xi and Lin Qing entered the factory.

"Let me take you to the HR department for onboarding first!" Cen Xi suggested.

"Will you be late?"

"No, there's enough time. Let me take you there first!"

"Okay!" Lin Qing was quite nervous herself. Since Cen Xi offered to accompany her, she naturally agreed. Having someone with her was comforting, and she wouldn't refuse!

The two of them entered the office building from yesterday!

Lin Qing knew the place well since the commotion yesterday also happened here. Today, coming here to start work, she felt like she knew her way around!

Most of the people recruited by the factory in this batch were starting today, and people were already waiting at the entrance of the personnel department. However, since it wasn’t time to start work yet, the door hadn’t been opened!

"Do you want me to stick around and wait with you?"

"No need. When the personnel department starts work, you'll be on the clock. If you stay, you'll be late. I'll be fine waiting here!" Seeing so many people waiting with her to start work, Lin Qing suddenly felt less nervous.

Cen Xi glanced at his watch; there were still ten minutes before work officially started. He could quickly walk back to the research department's office. He originally wanted to wait a few more minutes, but seeing Lin Qing's firm refusal in her eyes, he didn’t say anything.

"Alright, I'll go then! Remember what I told you, the leaders in your department are quite nice, don't be too nervous!"

"Mm, mm, I know!" Lin Qing nodded.

"You better go. I think my new friend will be here soon!" Lin Qing was referring to Wang Jiaojiao. She thought that after all the commotion yesterday, the position shouldn’t be taken by someone else again!

Cen Xi was a bit helpless. Just a moment ago, she was anxious for him to stay, and now she was rushing him to leave!

"Alright, I'm leaving now!"

After Cen Xi left, Lin Qing looked around and noticed that the factory had hired quite a number of people this time, mostly young women and men, with only a few who appeared older.

As soon as Lin Qing walked into the corridor, many people were sneaking glances at her, but she already had a handsome man by her side. Seeing how the two interacted, it was clear they weren’t just casual acquaintances, so no one dared to approach her recklessly.

After all, the crime of hooliganism was quite serious these days. This beautiful girl clearly had a boyfriend, and these young people about to start work didn’t dare provoke her, so they quickly dropped the idea!

Lin Qing became more anxious as she waited. Why hadn’t she seen Jiaojiao yet, and it was almost time to clock in?

Could something have gone wrong again?

Lin Qing was lost in her thoughts, but fortunately, Wang Jiaojiao arrived just two minutes before the shift started!

"Jiaojiao, you're finally here!" Lin Qing quickly went up to greet her.

"Qing Qing, I'm here!" Wang Jiaojiao, seeing her friend's nervous face, knew she was concerned that she might not come to work today!

Wang Jiaojiao's eyes were still red, but Lin Qing didn’t mention it, deliberately avoiding yesterday’s events.

"After we successfully onboard, we'll be working in the same office from now on!" Lin Qing specifically mentioned the work matter.

"Yes, yes, I'm so happy to be able to work with you!" Wang Jiaojiao was both relieved and happy that she had befriended Lin Qing because she liked her appearance. Otherwise, based on her past self before yesterday, she might have been completely fooled by a scoundrel by now!

"Qing Qing, thank you!" Wang Jiaojiao suddenly said sincerely.

Lin Qing blinked in confusion before realizing the meaning behind it.

"You're welcome!"
