Chapter 501: 501 Don’t you know it could choke someone to death?

Lin Tang was momentarily stunned, then an apologetic smile appeared on her face.

"Sorry, I’m not sure, I just handled a job transfer today, I haven’t worked with Comrade Min, I really don’t know what she’s like."

But judging by appearances, she’s not an easy one to deal with.

She shook her head inwardly.

Auntie Pang was extremely surprised, "Ah? You transferred? To where?"

It’s not to the plant, is it?!

"Technology Department."

Auntie Pang’s face showed admiration, "The Technology Department, that’s quite good, Officer Lin, you really are something."

While speaking, she raised a big thumbs up.

Lin Tang gave Auntie Pang a mischievous smile and said, "Auntie Pang is too kind."

Then, waving her hand, she left the canteen.

As soon as she left, the canteen’s kitchen instantly became lively.

A group of women workers tidied up the chopping boards while turning their heads to look at Auntie Pang.

"Sister Wu, Officer Lin really went to the Technology Department, huh? What about her job at the Broadcasting Station, do they have to recruit someone new?"

Auntie Pang hadn’t thought of that, and hearing this, she was taken aback.

"I didn’t ask about that, and I don’t think Officer Lin knows either, shall we find out?"

The women workers thought none of them had anyone competent at home; although they coveted the job, they were also self-aware.

"I don’t even think about it, the kids at home are so disappointing, they couldn’t handle that job even if it was handed to them on a silver platter."

They might even waste national resources.

Knowing she was an honest person, Auntie Pang encouraged her, "You may not have anyone, but you can find out and recommend someone else. If it works out, then..."

She rubbed her thumb and forefinger together.

There would be benefits.

The woman’s eyes lit up.

"It has to be you." she exclaimed in admiration.

Auntie Pang raised her brows proudly, "If you want to act, you need to find out soon, see what the Broadcasting Station plans to do."

The women workers were full of gratitude.

Sister Wu was too kind.

Auntie Pang, seeing her pitifully sappy expression, shuddered and muttered under her breath, "...so annoyingly sentimental."

Lin Tang returned to the Technology Department’s office, where Ling Lei was eating her meal.

In her battered lunch box were plain boiled cabbage, smashed cucumber, and a piece of black cornbread—her meal for the afternoon.

Ling Lei ate her cornbread with great care, a small piece fell on the table, which she quickly picked up.

She ate with such earnestness, even a faint smile on her lips, not feeling hard-done by in the least.

Seeing Lin Tang return, Ling Lei looked surprised, "Why are you back again?"

As she spoke, she bit into a piece of cucumber with a satisfying crunch.

Lin Tang glanced at the food in the other’s lunch box without any additional expression and handed over her own lunch box.

"If you won’t join me for a meal, I can only have it packed and brought to you." She said casually.

Ling had been running around with her for most of the day; she couldn’t possibly show no appreciation.

Ling Lei’s expression grew more surprised.

"You don’t have to do this." She said.

It was not her first time helping someone, but it was the first time she received such a serious gesture of gratitude.

Lin Tang spread her hands, "I don’t care about others, but you helped me, and I definitely wanted to express my thanks."

Having explained her intentions, she glanced at the time, which was nearly the end of the workday.

"Ling, if there’s nothing else for me to do, can I leave now?"

Ling Lei pointed at the lunch box, "There’s nothing else, you just need to come on time tomorrow morning, but, aren’t you going to eat something?"

Lin Tang curled her lips, "No thanks, I’ve made plans with my partner to play basketball."

Ling Lei waved her hands dismissively with a wooden expression.

"Get going, then."

Young people just don’t get it, always preoccupied with being sweet, not realizing how cloying they could be.

Lin Tang chuckled and waved her hand, "Then I’ll be off, see you tomorrow, Ling. Just give me my lunch box back then."

As soon as she finished speaking, she scurried away.

Ling Lei’s face was all smiles until her figure disappeared, and the smile remained on her face.

Opening the lunchbox, she saw braised pork with radishes, eggs, and other items, a veritable feast.

Ling Lei, who hadn’t eaten meat for days due to financial difficulties, swallowed hard.

Snapping back to reality, she grabbed the lunchbox and ran towards the door.

By then, Lin Tang’s figure had already vanished.

Ling Lei paused for a moment and then returned to the office.

It’s fine!

After all, they worked in the same office; she could return the favor sooner or later.

Ling Lei sat back down, picked a small piece of radish soaked in meaty flavor, a little bit of egg, and then closed the lunchbox.

After carefully finishing her meal, she washed her lunchbox at the sink and packed the remaining braised pork and other delicious dishes into her own lunchbox, planning to bring them home for her family to taste.

Ling Lei was a technician, earning nearly forty Yuan a month, which was quite substantial in this context.

But.

Her husband had damaged his lungs due to research work and needed to take medication regularly.

With both elderly and young ones at home, the pressure on her alone was immense.

Lin Tang intended to go to the Machinery Factory to find Gu Yingzhou, and she was making quick progress.

Soon she arrived at the factory entrance.

"Comrade Lin..."

A voice suddenly called out from far away.

Upon hearing the voice, Lin Tang stopped in her tracks and turned around to look in the direction it came from.

Upon seeing the person, her brows furrowed slightly.

Min Feiying?

What did this person want with her, out of the blue...

As she pondered, Min Feiying approached quickly.

"What a coincidence, Comrade Lin," she greeted warmly.

Lin Tang didn’t know what this person was up to, her eyes briefly flickered without betraying any emotion, and she smiled, "Comrade Min..."

Having spoken, she casually observed Min Feiying, curious to see what she was up to.

Min Feiying, with an overly familiar manner, linked her arm through Lin Tang’s.

"Where are you heading, Comrade Lin? How about I treat you to a meal?"

No sooner had she spoken than Min Feiying, as if worried Lin Tang might think she had ulterior motives, explained with a forced smile.

"I’ve just arrived at the Textile Factory and only know you a bit. I was hoping you could show me around as I don’t really know anyone else..."

Her words sounded reasonable enough.

If it hadn’t been for what Qin Suqing told Lin Tang about Min Feiying, she might have believed her.

"Is it true that you don’t know anyone?" Lin Tang asked with a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.

Sensing something off in her tone, Min Feiying glanced sharply in her direction.

All she saw were Lin Tang’s clear eyes and a faint smile on her face; she appeared innocent and non-threatening.

Seeing nothing amiss, Min Feiying nodded, "Yes, it’s true."

Possibly struck by a sudden thought, she looked at Lin Tang with a probing gaze, "Did you hear something?"

Lin Tang took her arm away from Min Feiying.

"That’s not important! I don’t know you well, Comrade Min, so there’s really no need for you to act as if we’re close."

"As for the troubles you’re talking about, everyone feels unfamiliar in a new environment. Things will get better with time."

"Besides, aren’t you and Comrade Yang Du talking about becoming a couple? How can you say you don’t know anyone?"

So, who are you trying to fool here?

Min Feiying didn’t expect Lin Tang to even know about her relationship with Yang Du; she found it interesting, though her face didn’t betray her thoughts.

"I am indeed seeing Yang Du, but since he’s a male comrade, it’s not as convenient. You, being a female comrade, should understand, right?"

No, I don’t understand.

Lin Tang smiled faintly and uttered a sentence that Min Feiying couldn’t comprehend.

"I have claustrophobia."

Min Feiying: "..."

"What?" she asked.
