After saying this, Zhang Changzhi ran outside quickly without waiting for Su Ting's reply.
A short while later, he returned with the keys.
Su Ting took the keys, got into the car with Zhang Changzhi, and drove around for a few laps.
I was a little clumsy at first, but I quickly became proficient.
Su Ting drove the car back to its original spot and got out with Zhang Changzhi.
Zhang Changzhi patted Su Ting on the shoulder and said, "Brother Su, I'll go talk to Deputy Factory Director Li today."
We must get this car for our department's use.
With you joining us, it will be much more convenient for our department to haul grain from the granary in the future.
This gives us more time to procure those unplanned supplies.
You can't let me down then.
Su Ting immediately replied, "Section Chief, don't worry. I, Su Ting, am like a brick in the leader's hand; I'll go wherever I'm needed!"
Zhang Changzhi was very satisfied with what he heard and said, "Good, I feel relieved to hear that."
"You can go to the factory and learn more about the situation. I'll go check if Deputy Factory Director Li is there."
After saying goodbye to Su Ting, Zhang Changzhi headed towards the office building.
Su Ting, however, did not return to his department; he planned to take a good look around this massive factory with tens of thousands of employees.
Chapter Eleven: The Cunning Beauty
Su Ting strolled leisurely to the front of the propaganda department building, where Yu Haitang was said to work.
Today he's going to see just how beautiful this factory beauty really is.
In the television footage from his previous life, Su Ting did not think Yu Haitang was particularly outstanding.
She has an average figure and dark skin; how could she become the most beautiful woman in a large factory with thousands of employees?
Walking up the stairs to the window of the broadcasting room, Su Ting looked inside and found the room empty.
Then I remembered that Yu Haitang should still be in school at this time! How disappointing.
Su Ting turned away in disappointment.
At that moment, there was a loud "bang," accompanied by a cry of "Ouch!"
"Emotional value from Tong Jiayu +2"
Su Ting quickly looked over and realized that he had accidentally bumped into someone.
He himself was fine, but the person who was hit had fallen to the ground.
The other person looked to be about twenty-one or twenty-two years old and was very beautiful.
She wore a ponytail and a clean, neat white sweater, which made her skin appear exceptionally fair and delicate.
In this day and age, a girl with such skin color and such sophisticated clothing can be easily identified as coming from a wealthy family.
Su Ting quickly ran over to help the girl up and apologized.
"Comrade, I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention when I turned around. Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
Tong Jiayu was rubbing her buttocks to relieve the pain. Fortunately, it was almost winter and she was wearing thick clothes.
Otherwise, this blow would have been quite a shock to her.
She looked up angrily at the person who had bumped into her, but couldn't bring herself to say anything that she wanted to reprimand them.
The person in front of her seemed out of place in this era, yet he perfectly matched her aesthetic sense.
She quickly straightened her clothes, extended her right hand to Su Ting, and said with a smile.
"It's okay, comrade. Actually, I wasn't looking where I was going either, so it's not entirely your fault."
"Comrade, what's your name? My name is Tong Jiayu. What brings you to our propaganda department?"
Su Ting looked at the woman in front of him, whose mood changed faster than flipping through a book, and was a little confused.
She was clearly angry just a moment ago, but now she's all smiles. How is that possible? Women are truly natural masters of changing their expressions.
Upon hearing Tong Jiayu's self-introduction, Su Ting released his grip on Tong Jiayu's hand and warmly grasped her small hand in return.
"Hello, Comrade Tong Jiayu, I am Su Ting, a newly arrived purchasing agent from the Second Purchasing Section."
Today is my first day at work, and my department head asked me to familiarize myself with the factory first.
I'm so sorry I accidentally bumped into you while we were walking around here.
Tong Jiayu is a grown woman, and she felt she should show some gentlemanly manners.
Upon hearing that the other person was a new colleague, Tong Jiayu immediately greeted them with a broad smile.
"So you're a new guy! I hadn't even noticed you had such an outstanding young man in our factory before!"
Okay then! I'll call you Su Ting, you can just call me Tong Jiayu, that's what my friends call me.
I don't have any injuries here, so please don't hesitate to ask.
"Since it's your first day at work, and I happen to not have much work to do today, let me give you a proper tour of our factory!"
Su Ting released his hand and responded just as enthusiastically, "Okay, then I'll call you Tong Jiayu."
With you, my beautiful tour guide, leading the way, I no longer need to worry about wandering around aimlessly like a headless fly.
When Tong Jiayu heard Su Ting praise her beauty, her smile widened, and she led Su Ting on a tour of the factory.
They chatted happily along the way and were both very pleased.
Actually, the two of them were both a little curious about each other. They had just gone downstairs when they ran into Teddy Xu Damao.
Xu Damao carried a projector and huffed and puffed as he went upstairs.
Seeing Su Ting and Tong Jiayu together, he showed surprise and joked.
"Hey, young man, you're pretty impressive! You've only just arrived and you've already managed to connect with one of the most beautiful girls in our factory. You're really something else."
"I think Miss Tong is interested in our young man, isn't she?"
Upon hearing Xu Damao's words, Tong Jiayu's cheeks flushed red, and she pointed at him threateningly.
"Xu Damao, are you looking for a beating? How dare you make fun of me? Do you want to go and show movies in remote communes again?"
Upon hearing this, Su Ting thought to himself that this girl probably had powerful connections in the factory!
At this moment, Xu Damao quickly admitted his mistake and begged for forgiveness.
"Hey, hey, Comrade Tong Jiayu, I was wrong. I had such a sharp tongue. Please forgive me!"
Su Ting found it a bit funny. Xu Damao was indeed a sharp-tongued person, but he was, after all, his good older brother, so he quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Tong Jiayu, don't be angry. I live in the same courtyard as Brother Da Mao. He just likes to talk nonsense. He doesn't mean anything by it."
Hearing Su Ting speak up for her, Tong Jiayu stopped blaming Xu Damao.
"Hmph, you know you're wrong, so I'll let you off this time for Su Ting's sake. But watch your mouth from now on."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Brother Su Ting. I need to hurry up and move the machines! You guys are busy, I'll be leaving now."
As Xu Damao spoke, he picked up the projector and ran upstairs. Su Ting noticed that this guy was actually quite fast at running away.
He continued walking with Tong Jiayu, asking as they went, "Tong Jiayu, why is Xu Damao so afraid of you?"
When Tong Jiayu heard Su Ting's question, she said dismissively.
"It's all because of Xu Damao, who's always restless and unruly."
When I first arrived, he was always trying to please me. How do you think I could possibly be interested in that donkey-faced guy?
Besides, he's already married, yet he still dares to harass me.
I was so annoyed at the time that I went to my uncle.
He was the head of the propaganda department, so I asked my uncle to assign him the task of showing movies in remote communes.
At first, he was puzzled and didn't understand how he had offended his section chief.
Later, whenever he bothered me, I would ask my uncle to assign him tasks.
After going several times, he realized that it was my uncle who arranged the task for him.
From then on, he never dared to cause me any more trouble.
To my surprise, he came to provoke me again today.
Su Ting felt a pang in his heart as he listened; he hadn't expected this girl to be so cunning.
Instead of telling Xu Damao directly, she planned to deal with him slowly behind his back. Besides, her uncle was the head of the propaganda department!
It seems her father is no ordinary person either; we can't afford to offend him.
Su Ting looked at the girl in front of him with a hint of fear on his face and said half-jokingly.
"Now that you've said that, I'm starting to get a little scared. Am I going to be the one to be plotted against?"
Please, please don't! We've only just met. It shouldn't be too late for me to slip away and pretend I don't know you, right?
