Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

Chapter 19 Wang Yi

"How much do you earn a month by driving a motorcycle taxi?"

Ding Yang said, "I work from dawn till dusk, earning about 100 yuan a day. When business is good, I can earn more than 200 yuan."

"That's pretty good. You can earn four or five thousand a month, which is much better than working in a factory."

"I'm exhausted. The sun is scorching, and I've gotten so tanned. I used to be very fair-skinned. Although I can earn four or five thousand a month, after deducting food and rent, I don't actually have much left. It's about the same as working a regular job, except I have more freedom. But riding a motorcycle is dangerous. There are so many cars on the road. If I accidentally get hit, I might lose my life."

"Besides, this industry is very competitive now. There are motorcycle taxis everywhere. It's not as easy as I imagined. I really don't want to do it anymore. Otherwise, I could just buy another used motorcycle."

"That's true!"

Have you ever thought about opening a shop?

"I don't have any capital or skills right now, and I don't know what to do. I'll work for two years first and then see what happens."

"Yes, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely become rich."

"Honey, you're wrong about that. If hard work could lead to wealth, migrant workers would be billionaires by now. If hard work could lead to wealth, then ordinary workers should earn more than you, the manager, because they work much harder than you."

"Wealth is a reward for cognition, not a reward for hard work. Don't be fooled by this statement. Hard work may be able to solve the problem of food and clothing, but if you want to get rich, that's just wishful thinking."

"So-called factories are nothing more than a legal place for capitalists to exploit the working people. The wages and benefits they pay their employees are only a small fraction of the value. The world has become gentler, not because these capitalists have become better, but because we were here!"

"Xiaoyang, I've noticed that sometimes you speak very eloquently and philosophically, which sometimes leaves me a little confused."

"What exactly is your educational background? You're not a graduate student, are you?"

"Hehe, I have two master's degrees, I'm studying your looks and posture, and studying how to spend the rest of my life with you."

"Ugh! You're so glib."

"You kissed me last night, so of course you know if it was a slippery tongue?"

"Hate!"

At 8:30, the two went downstairs, but did not check out.

At around 8:50, the two arrived at the factory gate, where there were still quite a few people waiting to apply for jobs.

Applicants first line up and register at the factory gate. Security guards collect ID cards and queue up at the gate's reception room. Once everyone is in line, they are all taken into the factory's office building conference room for an interview.

Liu Jing said, "Xiao Yang, come with me. Don't wait in line, I'll take you inside."

Liu Jing arrived at the side door and led Ding Yang straight in. The security guards, seeing that it was Liu Jing, didn't stop them at all.

Upon arriving at the office building,

"Xiaoyang, you go in by yourself. Register on the first floor and have your interview on the second floor. I'm going back to my dorm to get some clothes. Wait for me at the factory gate after your interview."

"good!"

Ding Yang walked into the office building, and the interviewing clerk on the first floor was stunned.

Standing at over 1.8 meters tall, looking like a celebrity, and dressed appropriately—straight-leg jeans with a T-shirt and casual sneakers—he doesn't look like an ordinary working-class guy at all.

"Hello, I'm here for a QC interview!"

"Oh, then go to the second floor."

Upon arriving on the second floor, the room was small, with a table and three chairs. Three women were sitting there, two of them wearing white overalls and navy blue trousers.

The woman in the middle, about the same age as Liu Jing, had fair skin, gentle yet capable features, short, neat hair, and an elegant demeanor. She had a C-cup and was probably the QC supervisor.

"Hello, I'm here for a job interview."

The three women exchanged glances, perhaps feeling a little surprised.

The woman in the middle suddenly took out her phone to check the photos.

"Ding Yang?"

"Yes, my name is Ding Yang."

What is your educational background?

"This is my vocational high school graduation certificate."

"Have you ever worked in an electronics factory before? Are you able to carefully inspect product defects? Are you able to work two shifts?"

Ding Yang cursed inwardly, "Damn it, can I say I don't accept it?"

"I've never worked in a factory before. This is my first time. I will work hard and learn carefully. I can accept working two shifts."

"Fill out this form, then go to the hospital for a medical check-up. You can start work tomorrow."

"Thanks!"

Ding Yang finished filling out the form in no time.

"Okay, you've passed the interview. You can go for a medical check-up. If you pass the check-up, you can start working. We'll reimburse you for the medical check-up fee if you complete three months of check-up."

"OK, thanks!"

Just as Ding Yang was about to leave, the woman in the middle suddenly called out to him.

"etc!"

The woman got up and walked over, saying softly:

"Is Liu Jing your girlfriend?"

Ding Yangcai would not give a direct answer.

"This is my personal matter, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the job application, does it?"

"You're pretty cocky, aren't you? Liu Jing and I are friends, so you have to treat me to a late-night snack tonight."

Ding Yang laughed and said, "You can treat me, but you can pay for it yourself. I just started working at the factory and haven't been paid yet."

"You stingy brat! From now on, I'm your supervisor, so watch out or I'll make things difficult for you."

"Big sister, you can tease me, but don't insult me. Even wild lilies have their spring. Please be kind."

After saying that, Ding Yang took a form, turned around, and left.

"Hmph, brat, I'll have plenty of time to deal with you later."

Ding Yang arrived at the factory gate and called Liu Jing.

"Hey, I passed the interview, they want me to go for a medical check-up."

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be right out."

"oh!"

Liu Jing changed her clothes, wearing casual pants and a short-sleeved shirt.

"Xiaoyang, are you hungry?"

"Hmm, a little!"

"Then just bear with it a little longer. You can eat after the physical exam is over."

The two took a motorcycle to Yantian Hospital.

The full medical checkup cost 45 yuan, and the results won't be available until the afternoon.

"Xiaoyang, the factory can reimburse you for the medical examination fee if you complete three months of check-ups."

"oh!"

The two took a motorcycle back to the hotel in the urban village. Ding Yang bought two meat buns downstairs to fill his stomach.

It was almost 11 o'clock when I got back to my room.

"Xiaojing, we can check out at 12:00. We still have more than an hour. Let's lie down and rest for a while before we go out for dinner."

In broad daylight, Liu Jing seemed a little embarrassed.

"Xiaojing, are you friends with the QC supervisor who interviewed me?"

"Yeah, we usually have a good time together."

"What's your name? Are you married?"

"Wang Yi, from Xiangyang, Hubei, is unmarried. There aren't many married people in the factory. You wouldn't happen to have a crush on him, would you? Let me tell you, you're not allowed to betray me."

"What are you talking about? I haven't even said two words to her."

"Then why are you asking about her?"

"Now that I'm working at the factory, she's my boss, and I'm afraid she'll make things difficult for me."

"Hmph, you're overthinking it."

"After the interview today, she asked me if I was your boyfriend. I said no comment, it has nothing to do with work. She asked me to treat her to a late-night snack, and I said I didn't have any money. She said to watch out, or I'll make things difficult for you later."

Liu Jing suddenly felt a sense of crisis. She would never say these things during a normal job interview. Could it be that Wang Yi had also taken a liking to him?

Liu Jing suddenly hugged Ding Yang.

"What if you fall for someone else and dump me?"

"Don't overthink it, okay? We haven't even started anything, so how can you talk about abandoning me? Besides, I haven't set my sights on anyone else, so please stop imagining things."

"Kiss me..."

"Waaah..."

The two shared a passionate kiss...

"Xiaojing, that's enough, stop it. I'm fucking uncomfortable, and I don't want to force you."

"Xiaoyang, will you take responsibility for me in the future?"

"It's a bit early to talk about taking responsibility now, we're not even that yet."

"...Xiaoyang, I do."

"..."

These words were like heavenly music to Ding Yang...

The air conditioner unit was making a loud whirring sound...

Breathing resonance...

"what……"
