Chapter 202: Chapter 162 The Story of Lemon

Qibao Town, Hong Kong Dafei Clothing Co., Ltd.’s Workshop No. 3.

The "click-clack" sound of electric sewing machines lingered in the ears, as over a hundred female workers rushed to fulfill order products.

It was like a big family here, with the sisters chatting and laughing very lively.

Although Lin Xiaohui had only been here for a little over a month, she had already gotten familiar with her assigned process, installing zippers on clothes quickly and well.

Xiao i from the shipping company, Liu Xiaoi, who ca last week, had already gotten the hang of it and asked excitedly while she was busy, "Sister Xiao Hui, is Salted Fish really coming today?"

"Really, he should have set off by now."

"Xiao Hui, is he that pen pal who always writes you letters?"

"Sister Liu, Salted Fish isn’t a pen pal, he grew up with us."

"So you an he’s the childhood sweetheart boyfriend!"

In this world, only Salted Fish could take a good look at herself, Lin Xiaohui thought contentedly and laughed, "Sister Liu, Xiao i already said, we grew up with him, almost like siblings."

In Liu Xiaoi’s eyes, Salted Fish was the most capable boy, she proudly said, "Salted Fish has a technical secondary school degree, now he’s a policeman!"

"Xiao Hui, that’s impressive, seems like we can’t ss with you in the future, otherwise your policeman beau will co looking for us."

"Yeah, we need to be careful about how we talk to Xiao Hui from now on."

"Stop teasing, being a policeman just sounds good, but the salary is actually very low."

"How much does he make a month?"

"Now it’s fifty-three and a half, after a few months his probation period will end, he can make over ninety."

"That’s a bit low."

Most people working here are locals, there were very few non-locals like Lin Xiaohui and Liu Xiaoi.

A local elder sister looked up and said, "With a diploma, one should find a good job. There’s a college graduate in our village, didn’t take a state assignnt, found a foreign-funded enterprise on his own, and now he gets paid in US Dollars, goes to the Jincang Wenhua building to deposit foreign currency right after getting his paycheck."

"If you want to make money, you can only go to joint ventures and foreign-funded enterprises."

A girl agreed wholeheartedly, her face alive with excitent, "My cousin isn’t even a tertiary vocational student, but she was lucky enough to catch the hiring wave at the joint venture down in the southern part of town, she got over eight hundred a month right when she started."

In Minxing, these past two years, foreign-funded enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, the high salaries are indeed very high.

A plump female worker muttered, "Comparing people can madden one. My cousin doesn’t have a high education either, but he’s willing to drill and study, joined an English night school with others, now he’s entered a foreign-funded enterprise’s rep office.

He makes over a thousand a month, his salary is paid in two parts, half in RMB and half in Foreign Exchange Certificates. They have an allowance for attire, essentially giving them money to buy clothes. He went on a business trip before the New Year and even got reimbursed over a thousand for a suitcase!"

The supervisor walked over, scolding with a smile, "If you think the wages here are low, you could always change jobs."

"Sister Ning, I’d like to switch, but I just don’t have what it takes."

"If you know you don’t have what it takes, no use complaining."

Supervisor Sister knew that Lin Xiaohui went to reception to answer a call this morning, she also knew that soone from her hotown was visiting today, she asked curiously, "Xiao Hui, soone from ho is coming, do you need to take the day off?"

"He will arrive in the afternoon, I won’t take leave, but I also can’t work overti tonight."

"He surely can’t return today, where will he stay tonight?"

"He said he would stay at a hostel in town."

Thinking of Salted Fish’s rare visit, and because Xiao i’s family was also not very reassured about Xiao i, Lin Xiaohui asked a bit embarrassed, "Sister Ning, when he arrives, could I bring him in for a look? He isn’t one of those scoundrels from the outside, he is a policeman."

"Sure, I’ll talk to reception for you later."

"Thank you, Sister Ning."

Lin Xiaohui thought for a mont and laughed, "I also want to take him to see the cafeteria and the dorm, my parents don’t have much to worry about, it’s mainly Xiao i’s family that’s not too reassured."

Supervisor Sister asked with a smile, "So he’s coming to see both of you?"

Before Lin Xiaohui could speak, Liu Xiaoi proudly said, "Salted Fish has good grades, he’s the most promising child from our shipping company. Even if he wasn’t a policeman, my parents would trust him."

The local female workers often had a lot on their plate, frequently taking leaves, and it wasn’t easy to manage them because they were locals.

Non-local kids like Lin Xiaohui and Liu Xiaoi didn’t have as many issues and were very obedient. They were willing to work hard and learned things quickly.

The manager had ntioned more than once that they should be treated well, even encouraging them to help recruit people from their hotown.

Supervisor Sister felt that they should be humanized when it cos to family visits, laughed and said, "It’s just visiting the cafeteria and dorm, of course, that’s fine."

A local elder sister asked with a laugh, "Xiao Hui, your boyfriend has co all the way from your hotown to see you, how do you plan to entertain him tonight?"

"Yeah, you can’t just take him to eat in the cafeteria."

"I will take him to town with Xiao i to eat."

"That’s more like it, treat him well, take him for a walk, ideally take him to see a movie."

"Seeing a movie is good, but it’s not very appropriate for Xiao i to tag along."

Liu Xiaoi, knowing that Salted Fish liked Lin Xiaohui, chuckled and said, "I’ll co back right after dinner."

An even bolder married woman asked, "Xiao Hui, do you need condoms? I have so, given by the village won’s director. If you can use them, I’ll give them to you, otherwise, my son keeps using them as balloons and popping them."

Everyone burst into laughter at once.

Lin Xiaohui, a little embarrassed by the teasing, picked up a scrap of cloth and tossed it in their direction.

Supervisor Sister scolded with a laugh, "Yu Xiuhong, can’t you have a little sha? Besides, Xiao Hui is still a young girl."

"I was once a young girl too. We’ve all been maidens before, who hasn’t co from being a sheltered young lady?"

"Stop it now, if the cutting workshop hears us, they’ll surely think that our entire workshop is full of hooligan won."
