Chapter 284 Qin Huairu's Envy

Chapter 284 Qin Huairu's Envy

It's unclear what He Yuzhu's mindset was, but he always treated Li Qin with cold indifference whenever they met.

Sometimes, she would even give Li Qin a hard time in front of him.

As for whether anyone spoke ill of Li Qin behind his back, or even cursed him, Li Qin had no idea.

Li Qin only knew that every now and then he would suddenly collect an unusually large amount of emotional power.

Li Qin found this both amusing and somewhat speechless.

To be honest, he never provoked He Yuzhu from the beginning, and even when he secretly dealt with him, he was very restrained.

Moreover, they were all very well hidden, so He Yuzhu naturally had no idea.

Even under these circumstances, He Yuzhu continued to target Li Qin in this way, and at times he even suspected that He Yuzhu might have a psychological problem.

However, He Yuzhu only cursed Li Qin in secret and did not do anything in front of Li Qin.

Therefore, Li Qin simply ignored the other party.

They did not target He Yuzhu again.

Strangely enough, although He Yuzhu was very unhappy with Li Qin, his sister He Yushui did not have any hostility towards Li Qin.

On the contrary, every time he saw Li Qin, he would greet him very politely.

Moreover, they all addressed Li Qin as "brother".

Although Li Qin thought He Yuzhu was mentally ill, he still liked the child He Yushui quite a bit.

Because He Yushui is not only polite, but also quite likable now.

Most importantly, He Yushui's eyes are very clean and innocent.

Li Qin himself couldn't be simple and clean, but he liked to be around people like that.

Therefore, whenever He Yushui greeted Li Qin, Li Qin would either give her some small snacks or cookies.

Or some candy...

Strictly speaking, it wasn't just He Yushui; all the other children in the courtyard, as long as they weren't mischievous kids, were included.

More or less, they all received small snacks from Li Qin.

Even the Jia family's hamburgers received a lot of snacks from Li Qin.

To be honest, with Jia Dongxu's guidance, Bang Geng hasn't gone astray yet, and he's still quite clever and cute.

She is still very likable.

Otherwise, given Li Qin's impression of the Jia family and Bang Geng, how could he possibly give them snacks?

It was precisely because of Li Qin's generous behavior that many residents in the courtyard, especially those whose children had benefited from him, received favors from him.

He was extremely kind to Li Qin.

Even Jia Zhangshi, whom Li Qin disliked the most, was always greeted with a smile by Qin Huairu whenever she saw Li Qin.

Come to think of it, although the Jia family had many problems, both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu truly cared for Banggeng.

It could even be described as spoiling.

Li Qin's act of giving Bang Geng snacks can be said to have directly hit the nail on the head regarding the Jia family's weaknesses.

The effect was naturally maximum.

That day, Li Qin stayed at home all morning and did not go to the steel rolling mill.

After having lunch and a comfortable nap, he pushed his bicycle out of the house.

"Li Qin, are you going out?"

As I passed by the Intermediate People's Court, I happened to see Qin Huairu.

At this moment, the other party was washing and cleaning their clothes in front of the pool.

Upon seeing Li Qin, Qin Huairu immediately looked up and greeted him with a smile.

It's already mid-to-late July, and Beijing has fully entered summer.

Not to mention the already high temperature, Qin Huairu was already covered in sweat from washing clothes.

Even their bodies were almost identical.

In summer, people naturally prioritize staying cool and wear relatively light clothing.

At this moment, Qin Huairu's clothes were soaked with sweat and clung to her body, showing off her figure.

If others saw this, they might be captivated, but Li Qin wasn't interested.

Li Qin nodded with a faint smile and calm eyes;

"Yes, I need to go to the steel rolling mill for something."

At this moment, Qin Huairu subconsciously looked up at the position of the sun in the sky and found that although it was still blazing, it had begun to set in the west.

Roughly estimated, it was already past 3 p.m.

According to the steel rolling mill's working hours, there are still a few hours until it's time to get off work.

Li Qin had just gone to the steel mill when Qin Huairu's face immediately flashed with envy.

"Your job is much better than working in the factory."

The workshops at that time did not have air conditioning, and they might not even have fans.

Therefore, the steel rolling mill workshop can be described as a giant oven in the summer.

The conditions were quite harsh.

Every day when Jia Dongxu came home from get off work, his factory uniform was soaked through with sweat.

But Li Qin's clothes were always clean and tidy.

Moreover, the working hours are flexible.

This made Qin Huairu very envious.

Upon hearing this, Li Qin's expression suddenly changed, and he shook his head with a hint of helplessness and bitterness.

"Sister-in-law Jia, you're mistaken about that."

Upon hearing Li Qin's words, a look of confusion flashed across Qin Huairu's face;

Where did I say something wrong?

Li Qin then began to explain:

"It is undeniable that our purchasing work seems much easier than working in the factory, but that's just an appearance."

In reality, the work of a purchasing agent is by no means easy:

Putting aside everything else, just to complete the procurement task, we have to work from dawn till dusk, regardless of the weather, and endure the hardships of traveling to the countryside without leaving the workshop.

Not to mention the great risks involved when we go to the countryside to buy supplies; if we're unlucky enough to encounter thugs, we might even lose our lives.

At this point, Li Qin couldn't help but sigh.

"No way!"

Qin Huairu instinctively spoke up when he heard that the purchasing staff's work could even be fatal.

Li Qin nodded affirmatively at this moment;

"I'm not making this up. You can even ask around. A few years ago, there were quite a few cases of steel mill purchasing agents being robbed when they went to the countryside to make purchases."

Those who were lucky only lost their valuables, while those who were unlucky suffered serious injuries, and many even died. Hearing Li Qin speak so confidently, Qin Huairu immediately believed him.

At that moment, a look of surprise flashed across her face;

"I never imagined that the job of a purchasing agent would be so risky; you really can't tell from the outside."

Li Qin then spoke again:

"If the job of a purchasing agent is really that good, why do so many people in steel rolling mills prefer to work in the workshop instead of becoming purchasing agents?"

It's simply because purchasing staff face high work pressure, high risks, and low wages;

Unlike factory workers, who face less risk and earn higher wages, and whose wages continue to increase as they advance in their skill level.

Although Li Qin's words were somewhat reserved, most of them were true.

While purchasing agents have many disadvantages compared to workers, they also have some advantages.

Otherwise, my colleagues at the steel rolling mill wouldn't have gone to such lengths to complete the task.

They are unwilling to transfer to other departments.

However, this involves some unspoken rules among purchasing staff, which Li Qin naturally wouldn't reveal.
