Chapter 556: 556 tsk, bullying the weak and fearing the strong huh

-

The meal times at the Textile Factory Technology Department were quite flexible.

At noon, Lin Tang went to have lunch early and headed toward the Garment Factory.

After registering at the entrance, she went straight to the cafeteria.

She had heard from her sister-in-law that Xinrou liked to sit in the southwest corner, so Lin Tang took a seat there to save the spot.

Ning Xinrou was beautiful and had a gentle demeanor, quickly becoming the belle of the Garment Factory upon her arrival.

The single men in the factory immediately set their sights on her.

Once Xinrou noticed, she began mentioning her son and husband frequently to her colleagues.

Before long, the news that the new belle was married with a child spread throughout the entire factory.

For a time, the single young men cried their hearts out, mourning a love that wilted before it could bloom.

The female comrades, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel secretly delighted.

It was simply because Ning Xinrou’s beauty put too much pressure on them.

She single-handedly raised the bar for attractiveness on the dating market to its extreme.

Although her presence in the Garment Factory still had an impact, at least it wasn’t as significant as when she was single.

After all, most people still care about face.

Once they heard she was married with kids, any thoughts they had disappeared.

As mentioned before, most people care about face, but there’s no shortage of eccentrics anywhere in the world.

Xinrou was unfortunate enough to encounter one.

Team Leader Cao Xiaoyu, a thoroughly average-looking woman who worked as an accountant at the Garment Factory, was wary of all the pretty female workers.

It was as if the man she fancied was the best in the world, and she feared this one liking him or that one competing with her for attention...

The moment Xinrou arrived, all her hostility was directed toward her.

Cao Xiaoyu would show up from time to time just to make her presence felt.

Even after hearing that Xinrou was married with a child, she didn’t let up with her sour words.

"Looking alluring and enchanting, she has corrupted the atmosphere of our factory. In my opinion, such people shouldn’t be hired. They affect our production efficiency..."

No sooner had Xinrou entered the canteen than she heard this all too familiar voice, and the smile on her lips faded away.

Looking at that plain-looking female worker, she said, "You’re jealous of me!"

She used a tone of certainty, which nearly made the female worker explode with anger.

Xinrou knew exactly why this woman targeted her.

But honestly, with that accountant’s beady eyes and her shiny forehead, not to mention her height which was shorter than Xinrou’s... she was really not to Xinrou’s tastes!

The troublemaking woman’s eyes went wide as she blurted out, "What did you say?"

Lin Tang’s eyes were fixed on the entrance, and she saw Xinrou walking over.

Witnessing the other woman’s insult toward her sister-in-law, Lin Tang’s gaze turned frosty.

But when she heard her sister-in-law’s sarcastic retort, a smile spilled out from the corners of her eyes.

That’s how it should be!

Lin Tang walked over, looked at Ning Xinrou, and called out, "Sister-in-law."

"Tangtang? What brings you here?" Ning Xinrou asked, surprised.

"I need to talk to you about something," Lin Tang said with a smile.

She didn’t even glance at the clownlike woman beside her, treating her as if she were just air.

Ning Xinrou also didn’t bother with the woman any longer, taking Lin Tang’s hand and walking directly to the food serving area.

The ignored woman’s face turned beet red.

She was just about to speak—

Lin Tang turned her head, and a light yet chilling gaze drifted over.

The woman stiffened, rooted to the spot.

Hmph, a classic bully who only picks on the weak, thought Lin Tang with a sneer, retracting her gaze.

Xinrou didn’t notice, and said with concern, "Tangtang, have you eaten? If not, try some of the food here."

"I’ve eaten," Lin Tang replied, pointing to where she’d left her bag, "I had my meal before coming here. Go ahead and get something for yourself; I’ll wait for you over there."

Ning Xinrou’s gaze followed to where she pointed and saw her small bag. She chided softly, "Why did you just leave your bag there? What if someone snatched it?"

The factory was full of all sorts, not like in the village where if you lost something, people would return it to your house.

"It’s fine, I’ll watch it for you and save a spot."

The Garment Factory isn’t large with only a few hundred machines, so the cafeteria isn’t that big either.

If you don’t secure a spot in advance, you’ll have to wait.

Ning Xinrou knew her sister-in-law meant well, her face brimming with a smile as she watched her walk away.

That gentle and beautiful face became even more tender and moving.

The female workers curious beside Ning Xinrou asked, "Comrade Ning, is that your sister? She’s really pretty!"

She had originally thought that Comrade Ning was quite attractive, but that little comrade was even more so.

Not only was her face good-looking, but the clothes she wore were also pretty.

Ning Xinrou’s smile was sincere, "Yes, my sister."

Not a sister-in-law, but a sister, a sister who was even closer than a biological one.

The female worker said enviously, "That’s really nice, everyone in your family is good-looking."

Ning Xinrou didn’t say more, served her meal, walked over, and sat opposite Lin Tang.

Handing her the chopsticks, "I know you’ve had your meal, but try it for the taste."

Lin Tang looked down at the lunch box, two dishes, one vegetarian and one meat, seemed not bad at all.

She took a bite as a courtesy.

To be honest, the taste was mediocre.

"...Not as good as home."

It wasn’t even as good as their Textile Factory’s.

Lin Tang passed the chopsticks back.

Ning Xinrou could only laugh and cry, "Of course, it can’t compare."

After all, it was cafeteria food, which couldn’t hold a candle to a meal prepared with care at home.

Lin Tang nodded, "Mm, sister-in-law, you better eat up, we can talk after you’re done."

Ning Xinrou had worked all morning and was indeed hungry.

Without another word, she started eating.

After the meal, Ning Xinrou washed the lunch box in the factory’s sink and took Lin Tang to a quiet pavilion.

"Tangtang, let’s sit here for a while."

Lin Tang had no objections.

After sitting down, she said, "Sister-in-law, remember I mentioned before that our factory’s broadcaster wanted to change jobs?"

"She came to see me today, quite interested in a job at the Garment Factory, what do you think?"

Who wouldn’t want a better job?

Ning Xinrou’s expression was calm, but the light in her eyes was unmistakable.

"I’m willing, of course. How could I not want such a good opportunity?"

The factory work mainly involved production and often required overtime; she would leave early and return late, barely managing to take care of her home, but a transfer to the Broadcasting Station would solve this problem.

Lin Tang had anticipated her sister-in-law’s reaction and said with a smile, "Then I’ll take care of it. I reckon your salary is about the same as that comrade at the Broadcasting Station, so neither side would need to compensate the difference..."

Cao Xiaoyu had just started at the Broadcasting Station, not yet proficient in the job, and earned just under twenty yuan.

Ning Xinrou had been in the Garment Factory for several months, her skills and efficiency were high, so her base salary had increased a bit, not much different from the Broadcasting Station’s.

Ning Xinrou listened quietly to Lin Tang’s words and replied, "...I’ve prepared the written materials in advance, ready for your notice at any time."

Her personality and appearance were hardly related.

Her face, with its gentle beauty and demure elegance, stood in contrast to her rather efficient true nature.

Lin Tang was surprised by her sister-in-law’s words.

"You’ve written them already? That saves us a step."

After a moment of thought, she said, "Sister-in-law, why don’t you take a half-day off later and come to the Broadcasting Station with me.

If Comrade Cao agrees, we can finalize the procedures today, to avoid any unforeseen issues."

As long as nothing’s settled, there’s room for complications.

Ning Xinrou had this idea in mind, but didn’t want to seem too eager in front of Tangtang, so she held back her words.

"Sure, I’ll go ask for a leave right now."

After saying this, she pulled Lin Tang towards their factory building.

She hadn’t taken a day off since starting at the factory, and when she asked for a leave for the first time, the Team Leader didn’t make it difficult for her and approved it immediately.

Considering Lin Tang was waiting outside, Ning Xinrou didn’t delay for even a half-minute; after getting the leave, she immediately left the building.
