CHAPTER 384: CHAPTER 384: TENSION

Gu Lingling started working.

On her first day at the transformer factory, although she had been here countless times before, this time the feeling was truly different.

Especially seeing everyone in work clothes chatting and laughing as they entered the factory early in the morning, it was so vivid and lively. Even though the overall environment isn’t great right now, people are still thriving, working hard for a better life.

Gu Lingling liked watching this spirit of struggle.

The three young women walked into the transformer factory arm in arm, "See you at lunch."

They each brought their lunch and had already decided on a place to eat midday.

Gu Lingling’s engineering department and the accounting department weren’t far apart, but Zhao Jingmiao had to go to the workshop, which was a bit further.

"Lingling, I’m a bit nervous." Hao Lianlian held Gu Lingling’s hand, "Look at my hands, they’re all sweaty."

"No need to be nervous. If you feel nervous, just smile. If you encounter a question you don’t want to answer, just smile as well, and then there’s nothing to fear." This method was something a supervisor had shared with her in a previous life at the Overseas Chinese Hotel.

Gu Lingling found it quite useful.

"So you’re Gu Lingling." In the engineering department, just as Gu Lingling knocked and entered, she saw a man with glasses adjust them curiously and ask.

"Yes, my name is Gu Lingling, I’m here to report in." Gu Lingling said with a light smile.

"My name is Zhang Shiqiang, pleased to meet you." Zhang Shiqiang, the man with glasses, extended his hand in introduction and also introduced Liu Zhi, who had just returned from getting water, "This is Liu Zhi."

"Besides our boss He Jijun, there are also two other men named Zhou Qing and Tang Wei, whom you’ll meet shortly."

"Oh, our engineering department finally has a female comrade." Liu Zhi put down the kettle and walked over with a smile, "Welcome, welcome."

"Hello, my name is Gu Lingling," Gu Lingling said with a smile.

"I know, Old He already introduced you before you came, we’ve all seen your test papers, you’re incredible." Liu Zhi gave her a thumbs up, "Especially the last question, how did you think to handle it that way?"

Those answers were thought up collectively by them, initially thinking they were nothing special, but upon seeing Gu Lingling’s answer, they felt it was as if a light bulb had gone on.

And then learning that she was still just a high schooler, these young men were even more impressed.

"My grandfather used to be a technician at our factory, a lot of what I know is from him." Gu Lingling said with a smile, "I was lucky, this question involved knowledge my grandpa happened to have taught me."

"I knew it." As soon as Gu Lingling finished, a man walked in with a bag, "It’s just luck."

"Tang Wei, don’t say that, after all, Lingling hadn’t learned this stuff before," Liu Zhi disapproved, "Can you say you weren’t surprised when you saw that answer?"

"It’s her grandfather’s answer anyway," Tang Wei said, "she just got lucky, even old technicians in the workshop know this stuff."

"Yes, it’s just luck, I hope you all look after me in the future," Gu Lingling said with a smile.

What’s the point in arguing over this?

If possible, she’d rather read more books.

Grandpa said the people in the engineering department are all top students; she should make good use of this.

As for Tang Wei’s attitude, Gu Lingling didn’t mind.

Those with some talent often have a bit of a temper, right?

It doesn’t matter, it’s not really related to her anyway.

Tang Wei didn’t say anything, he went straight to his seat.

Liu Zhi and Zhang Shiqiang exchanged glances and shook their heads helplessly.
