Chapter 1740 Progress
Ye Xiaoxi said she was going out to play, but she still secretly went to find Ye Chengjiang.
After the game ended, the men who had just found partners went to chat with their partners, while four or five men surrounded two women and talked to them together.
In any case, there wasn't a single woman alone; she was always surrounded by one or two men, or a whole bunch of men. They were everywhere in the factory.
The men, like peacocks displaying their plumage, surrounded the women, talking to them and asking for their contact information.
Although they are not locals, it is not difficult for them to settle down here. After all, they work here, so it is only natural for them to settle down here.
Moreover, the factory has a staff housing complex that can be rented out internally. Nowadays, apart from self-built houses in rural areas, there are not many places to buy houses, so people are not so attached to houses.
Ye Xiaoxi came out of the cafeteria, stood at the door looking at this couple and then at that group, feeling particularly novel. Although it was winter, it felt like spring had arrived, and everyone was full of energy.
Ye Chengyang followed her out, asking, "Why are you standing there without moving?"
"No, we're just curious. Let's sneak over and see where Brother Jiang or my cousin are."
"They must have taken the women around."
The brother and sister wandered around the factory, but they didn't see Ye Chengjiang. Instead, they saw the two brothers, Lin Guangming and Lin Guangwen, chatting and laughing with a woman.
"Second brother, second brother, I remember her name is Wang Xiaofen."
"Cousin Awen is so clueless..."
"Yeah, when my cousin Amin was talking to a woman, why was he leaning in like that?"
"Exactly, they're just chatting, what business is it of his? He's so clueless, no wonder they're both single."
“Cousin A-Ming is going to be delayed, I’ll go call Cousin A-Wen,” Ye Xiaoxi said and quickly ran a few steps to call out, “Cousin A-Wen, my mother is looking for you.”
"Huh? Looking for me? What does my aunt want with me?"
All three of them stopped in their tracks.
"I don't know, my mom told me to come out and call you."
Ye Xiaoxi spoke without blushing or panting, and didn't forget to secretly glance at Wang Xiaofen.
When I saw her in the cafeteria, I just thought she looked very ordinary. Her short hair and bangs made her face look round and tender.
Now that I look at her up close, I can only think that my sister is really beautiful. Her red cotton-padded jacket makes her skin look super white, and her face is rosy and full of vitality.
I don't know if it was the cold weather at night or her blushing cheeks.
As she stared at it, she felt her face turn even redder.
"Sister, you are so beautiful, and your skin is so fair. I hope I can be as fair as you when I grow up."
Wang Xiaofen made her laugh, saying, "You're also very fair-skinned and pretty."
"No, I go to school every day. My mom says my face and neck are always dark."
"You'll have fair skin when you grow up."
"Okay, sister, you should chat with my cousin. He's really rich and buys me delicious food every day. You can ask him to buy you things to eat."
Wang Xiaofen glanced at Lin Guangming, pursing her lips and secretly smiling.
Ye Xiaoxi put her hands on her hips and glared fiercely at Lin Guangwen. "Why are you still standing there? My mother is calling you. Why aren't you leaving?"
Lin Guangwen responded blankly, then followed the brother and sister.
"Why did your mother call me?"
The brother and sister didn't respond to him. After walking a few steps back, they stopped and secretly watched from behind.
Lin Guangwen scratched his head, looking at their strange behavior. "Are you trying to get rid of me?"
"nonsense!"
Ye Chengyang explained, "We need to give Cousin Amin a chance to be alone. How can he talk nicely to the woman and ask for her contact information if you're around?"
Ye Xiaoxi said with exasperation, "No wonder my cousin A-Ming has already found a girlfriend, while you haven't even seen a trace of her yet."
"Damn! He was the only one who felt awkward around women, so he dragged me along and made me join him."
"Then you need to be observant. If they start chatting, you should leave quickly."
Lin Guangwen looked at Ye Chengyang and said, "You know quite a lot, don't you?"
"Have you never eaten pork and seen a pig run?"
Ye Xiaoxi added, "After we helped my older brother arrange to meet his classmates, we all left on our own."
She realized as soon as she finished speaking that she had exposed her brother's secret, and quickly covered her mouth.
Lin Guangwen's eyebrows shot up. "Wow! Your older brother's in a relationship! Is he trying to emulate Ye Chenghe?"
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb your cousin."
The three men followed Lin Guangming furtively, watching him make the woman smile and even take out a pen from his chest and have her write her contact information in his palm.
When the two stood close together, all three of them stared wide-eyed, wishing they could gouge their eyes out and peer over their heads to see what was written.
Ye Xiaoxi's mouth dropped open in an "O" shape. "Cousin is amazing! They're already touching?"
Ye Chengyang was also excited, "They touched hands!"
"My cousin has been asking his female classmate out for two months, and they haven't even held hands yet! My cousin is amazing!"
"Your older brother is so useless, isn't he? He's been dating for two months and hasn't even held hands yet?" Lin Guangwen said sarcastically.
"That's still better than you. You haven't held a woman's hand in 20 years, have you?"
Ye Xiaoxi firmly defended her older brother!
"Who are you laughing at, you little brat?"
"I'll laugh at you!"
Ye Chengyang changed the subject, "Should we look for Brother Jiang and see where he went?"
"It's already dark, how are we supposed to find them? There are so many people here."
They looked around and saw only heads; it was already completely dark.
When I came out of the cafeteria, it was still dark, but it became completely dark in just a short while.
Lin Guangwen said, "It's time to eat. Shall we go to the cafeteria? It's getting dark and the wind is stronger now. Don't let the two of you catch a cold. Let's go line up for food first, otherwise it'll be crowded later."
Ye Chengyang quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, let's go get food first, otherwise there will be hundreds of people later, and the queue will be unbearable."
Ye Xiaoxi thought it made sense. Although she was still very curious and wanted to see if they would hold hands and kiss, she didn't want to wait in line on an empty stomach.
"Let's get the food for Cousin Amin and the short-haired lady, okay? They'll have food when they come in later."
"Go inside and wait. Once lunch is served, get your food first and make those people still wandering outside line up in a real hurry!"
Ye Chengyang chuckled, "Cousin Awen, I think you're jealous."
"I'm not jealous at all. I deliberately didn't register. I'm not in a hurry, and I don't want to find a partner..."
Ye Xiaoxi: "I think you're making excuses..."
The three of them bickered as they walked back to the cafeteria.
Stepping inside, it felt warmer. The tables and chairs had been restored to their original state, and the cafeteria was filled with the aroma of food.
More than half of the dishes have already been laid out, and some people have already gotten their food and are eating. Anyway, today's meals are free, sponsored by the factory.
Their parents and factory leaders were drinking with the textile factory's leaders at a separate round table, so they didn't go over to disturb them. Instead, they got several plates of food and went to occupy a round table as well.
Once the loudspeaker in the cafeteria blared, people who had been standing outside in the wind rushed in to eat, and long queues instantly formed in the cafeteria.
Ye Xiaoxi, with her sharp eyes, finally spotted Ye Chengjiang.
"Brother Jiang~ Over here~"
"We've prepared the food in advance and are just waiting for you. Come on over."
Ye Chengjiang arrived with a female colleague, and soon after, Lin Guangming also arrived with a female colleague, along with Ye Chenghe and his wife and their son.
Their table was also packed, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the two women, who were being greeted warmly.
Because of time constraints, they only chatted for a short while after finishing their meal. Their bus was scheduled to return at 7:30, so they had to send everyone onto the bus in advance.
The factory had also brought out gifts for them at the main gate, so they wouldn't forget to take one home with them when they got on the bus.
Ye Yaodong and his entire factory gave them a warm welcome. When they left, the other party's leaders held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go, repeatedly expressing their gratitude and saying they would come together again for another get-together.
Once the doors of both buses were closed and the vehicles started moving, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Xiuqing said with a smile, "We've been running this factory for several years now, and today is quite a lively occasion."
"The boss lady may not know, but we also had a lively New Year's Eve last year. Most of the factory workers stayed to work overtime, and the boss arranged a New Year's Eve dinner for everyone. But it was all men, and there weren't as many fancy things as today."
"Isn't today a happier day? There are so many female colleagues from other factories, all of them young, beautiful and gorgeous."
"Of course. From the moment these women got off the bus at noon, their eyes were gleaming with lust. Some of them asked me when the next social event would be. Many of them didn't get to sign up this time, and now they want to sign up for the next one."
Ye Yaodong said with a smile, "Tell them the next one will be after the New Year. Thank you for your hard work today, and thank you to the staff who planned this event."
"What's so hard about this? We even have a half-day off today, no need to go to work."
"Haha, everyone can go home now. Except for those on duty, everyone should go home early tonight and get some rest. We'll start work again tomorrow morning."
The workers have already dispersed in twos and threes. They don't have to work the night shift, and it's not even 8 o'clock yet. Many of them have gone out for a stroll with their arms around each other.
Ye Yaodong was exhausted after a busy afternoon, so he went straight back to the dormitory with Lin Xiuqing. He didn't bother with the children; they were all grown up anyway, and the older ones would naturally take care of the younger ones.
As Lin Xiuqing walked, she said, "After this event, I wonder how many couples will actually end up together."
"Just wait and see. Our factory has prepared a wedding gift package, right? If it's a done deal, you'll naturally come and collect one."
"Perhaps we can change it. It doesn't have to be a matchmaking event. In the future, whenever a factory employee gets married, they can go to the logistics department to pick up a wedding gift package."
"That's fine too, it's a happy event."
"Yes, it's also a benefit provided by the factory."
……
Ye Xiaoxi and her two siblings joined Ye Chengjiang and his group to gossip about how the two of them dated the woman.
Especially Ye Chengjiang, whom we haven't been able to find!
But Ye Xiaoxi didn't forget her older brother.
"Brother, where did you go after your social gathering? I didn't see you. We were all outside watching Ah Ming go on his date."
Lin Guangming's eyes widened. "Holy crap, you guys have been following us and spying on us the whole time?"
"I've always been with my parents and accompanied my superiors. Who's as gossipy as you guys?"
"Oh, that's a pity. You missed it. Brother Amin has already touched the female comrade's hand."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"We all saw it!" Lin Guangwen, Ye Chengyang, and Ye Xiaoxi said in unison.
Ye Chengjiang clicked his tongue and said, "Awesome! After being single for 21 years, I finally got to hold your hand. Isn't it soft? Isn't it tender?"
Ye Chenghe jumped up and cursed, "You beast! You touched her hand the first time we met, you pervert!"
"No way, don't listen to their nonsense!"
Ye Xiaoxi said confidently, "It's obvious! You two were standing really close, holding hands. If I hadn't looked closely, I would have thought you were hugging!"
"Damn it..." Ye Chengjiang gritted his teeth, "You shameless beast! You scoundrel!"
Lin Guangming immediately realized that they had misunderstood because they saw the exchange of contact information, but seeing Ye Chengjiang's envious and jealous look, he was in no hurry to explain.
"That's because I'm so charming!"
After saying that, he attacked Ye Chenghe, "Who's like you? You chased after him for years before you finally held his hand."
Ye Chenghe unleashed a string of profanities.
"Be careful, don't use too many foul words. There are children here, and your son is here too."
After saying that, he attacked Ye Chengjiang, "It's obvious you haven't made any progress! I not only touched her hand, but I also smelled the fragrance of her hair, and I even got her contact information!"
Now it was Ye Chengjiang's turn to swear.
Ye Chenghu said, "Don't lead us astray. If my mother hears me swearing next time, I'll say it was you who taught me."
Lin Guangming looked at the younger ones and the one he was holding, and said to Ye Chenghe, "I'm only a little better than Ajiang and you back then. You don't need to be jealous of me. Don't you have a wife and children now? It's dark and cold. Hurry up and take them home. Don't let the children get cold."
Ye Chengjiang and Ye Chenghe were so angry they gritted their teeth, realizing for the first time how well he could attract hatred.
But it was indeed dark and windy now, so Ye Chenghe really had to take his wife and children home first and couldn't get involved in their gossip.
What a pity!
He missed the days of living in the dormitory and longed to go back to it.
"Damn it, I'll take them back first."
"Walk slowly without sending."
It's getting cold, so they have to head back to their dormitories.
Ye Xiaoxi squeezed next to Ye Chengjiang, "Brother Jiang, where did you guys hide before dinner? I couldn't find you, there were too many people."
Ye Chengyang pressed on, "Brother Jiang, you really haven't made any progress at all? You're such a noob!"
"You two are too gossipy!"
"They should have chosen someone else. I should have done it myself!" Lin Guangwen chimed in with a sarcastic remark.
Lin Guangming proudly stretched out his large palm, which was covered with writing, and he was careful not to smudge it.
Ye Chengjiang was furious. "Who said I haven't made any progress? I got your contact information."
As he spoke, he grabbed Lin Guangming's hand, pretending to wipe the words off his palm. Luckily, Lin Guangming was prepared and clenched his fist.
"Hehe...I even touched her little hand, we were so close..."
P.S.: No update in the early morning. I need to adjust my sleep schedule and stop patching things up. The next chapter will be before midnight tomorrow. I don't want to stay up all night and become mentally exhausted.
