Chapter 156 Deliberately Targeting
She was wearing a blue shirt, had a high ponytail, had fair skin, and a bright and beautiful smile. Her beauty was aggressive and also the most stunning. Hu Taihong felt quite disappointed when he saw that everyone in the art troupe was staring at Team Leader Chen infatuatedly.

"I thought everyone in the art troupe was pretty."

"Why, coming here on clouds and mist?"

Hu Taihong nodded weakly.

The scene he imagined was similar to this.

The two colleagues were speechless.

Does he have to be so stupid?
Chen Qing released Captain Li's hand and looked at the comrades from the art troupe getting off the truck. He said, "Comrades, you've worked hard on the journey. I'll take you to the guesthouse to settle down first, and then we'll deal with the equipment in the truck later."

Captain Li asked everyone to follow.

Li Zhaoxia and Chen Qing walked side by side towards the guesthouse: "Team Leader Chen is still very young, right?"

"Almost twenty."

"You are really young and promising."

"It's because the organization is willing to give young people opportunities." Chen Qing said with a smile, without any loopholes in his words.

Li Zhaoxia smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you with my performance at your factory this time."

"How could that be? The factory workers heard the art troupe was coming and were looking forward to it. Many comrades even tried to work the night shift just to get a better view of the show."

Chen Qing replied with a smile.

The group walked out of the machinery factory, walked forward for a while, and turned a corner. A three-story red brick building appeared in front of them.

There are several osmanthus trees planted in front of the building. It is in bloom and the pale yellow flowers emit a sweet fragrance.

There was a sign with red letters on a white background hanging at the door: Machinery Factory Guesthouse.

"We're here. This is it." Chen Qing was the first to push open the green-painted wooden door.

The lobby of the guesthouse is not big, but it is very clean.

The cement floor was mopped to a shine, and on the wall hung portraits of great men and several awards for model workers.

Behind a wooden counter sat a middle-aged woman wearing reading glasses.

"Auntie Wang, the comrades from the art troupe are here." Chen Qing greeted them.

Aunt Wang looked up from the registration book and squinted her eyes as she surveyed everyone. "Welcome, welcome! The rooms are ready. There are six rooms on the second and third floors, two people per room."

Chen Qing took out a bunch of keys from the counter and said, "Comrades, our factory conditions are limited, so they are naturally not as convenient as home, but the bedding is all new, and every room has a thermos and a washbasin. If you need anything, just let me know."

"That's pretty good," said Director Li with a smile. "When our art troupe went to the countryside to perform, we even stayed in the brigade headquarters' warehouse!"

The other members laughed good-naturedly, only Su Manman frowned.

Chen Qing noticed her keenly.

Su Manman also raised her eyes and looked at Chen Qing. Her voice was soft but sharp, which could not be ignored. "Which direction does my room face? I have trouble sleeping and need some quiet."

"Then I'll arrange a room for you on the second floor, at the very back, facing south, away from the noise of the factory." Chen Qing replied, "No one lives next door, so it should be very quiet."

Su Manman frowned. Seeing that she seemed easy to bully, she was reluctantly satisfied with the answer and nodded slightly.

Only Captain Li raised his eyebrows.

Team leader Chen is very careful in his preparations and seems to be quite capable.

After Chen Qing assigned rooms to everyone, other members of the factory committee helped everyone carry their luggage upstairs.

Su Manman and the other group members entered the room arranged by Chen Qing. It was about twelve square meters, with two single beds placed against the wall and a wooden bedside table in the middle.

The windows were hung with light blue curtains, fluttering gently in the wind. The bedsheets were made of coarse cloth, washed bleached but clean.

There were two thermoses and an enamel washbasin in the corner.

The group member who shared the same dormitory with Su Manman said in surprise: "It's well decorated. I can finally get a good night's sleep!"

Su Manman curled her lips.

She placed her handbag on the bed by the window and began to examine the bed.

He secretly took out the meat bun from his pocket, broke it open, and smeared the oil from the bun onto the quilt.

After the oil seeped into the quilt, she shouted to Chen Qing outside, "There's a stain on this pillowcase!"

Chen Qing, who was asking everyone in the corridor if they needed anything, came to Su Manman's room without any hurry.

She walked forward to check the white quilt, found the spread of oil stains, and glanced at Su Manman lightly.

"This oil stain seems to have only appeared recently, no more than half an hour ago, but the quilt was washed yesterday and placed on the bed. I think there was a thief. I'm going to report it to the police right away."

"Don't!"

Su Manman hurriedly called her over, and seeing Chen Qing stop, she said proudly, "Just change the sheets for me."

Chen Qing stood in front of her and said, "Comrade Su, I am the secretary of the factory committee. I am responsible for welcoming you, not your parents. I have to play dumb while watching you perform your tricks."

"What do you mean? I just asked you to change my sheets! You were supposed to be entertaining us."

Ever since Su Manman saw Chen Qing for the first time, her nails had dug deeply into her palms, and a crazy jealousy surged from the bottom of her heart.

How could she, a female worker in a machinery factory, be prettier than the people in her art troupe!

Blooming.

You only know how to seduce men, right?!

Chen Qing looked at her calmly.

Captain Li walked in and asked, "What happened?"

Chen Qing smiled faintly: "Captain Li, you seem to be very dissatisfied with my hospitality. You even brought props for a performance and created a greasy stain on the quilt that our staff worked so hard to wash."

There are no washing machines in today's guesthouses, so all sheets and quilt covers need to be washed manually, especially those with dirt, which can only be cleaned by scrubbing vigorously.

Leader Li explained, "This may be a misunderstanding. We Soviet members are a bit spoiled, but we won't torture working people."

"Really?" Chen Dan held Su Manman's wrists with one hand, then took out a bun from her pocket and handed it to Captain Li: "Captain, you also need to pay more attention to the members."

Su Manman's face turned blue and red.

Captain Li's face darkened.

Chen Qing released Su Manman's hand and said straight to the point, "One of your team members likes a researcher in our institute, but we have a good relationship. I personally think that if she likes the researcher, she can pursue him boldly instead of targeting me. After all, I am not the one she likes, and she doesn't need to attract my attention."

"I don't mind what happened this time. If there's a next time, I hope Captain Li can understand that even clay people can get angry."

"By the way, I hope Comrade Su can clean up the oil stains, otherwise I will ask you to buy the quilt."

Amidst Su Manman's shocked gaze, Chen Qing politely nodded towards Captain Li and told the remaining three idlers to go downstairs and wait.

It’s okay to lose your temper.

But she will complete her work tasks well.

In the guesthouse, Captain Li took a deep breath and asked, "Su Manman, what are you doing?"

Su Manman listened to Chen Qing's long and rambling speech, then accurately extracted the key points and cried, covering her face. "She said she had a good relationship with Researcher He."
