After changing cars twice and walking a long way, they finally arrived at Ren Xuefeng's factory. As it was a factory, it was naturally far away from the city center. There were few pedestrians around, and it was already dark. Gu Xiaofan followed Zhong Han step by step, fearing that she would be left behind. If she was not familiar with Zhong Han, she would have reached out to grab Zhong Han's sleeve.
After walking for a while, Zhong Han also noticed Gu Xiaofan's "tail-chaser" behavior, so he slowed down his pace a little to make it easier for Gu Xiaofan to follow.
"Afraid of the dark?" Although he used an inquiring tone, he seemed to have the answer in his heart.
Gu Xiaofan nodded: "I've been afraid of the dark since I was a child. When I stay in a dark place, I feel cold wind blowing straight into my body from all directions, and the hairs on my body stand up!"Zhong Han's mind reappeared Gu Xiaofan's face when he went to the scene in the morning. He had never met such a timid female colleague since he joined the police. Gu Xiaofan opened his eyes: "Why did you choose to be a policeman in the first place?"Gu Xiaofan smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, it was completely a coincidence, At that time, I thought I couldn't pass the early admission, so I was encouraged by my classmates to fill in the application form purely to leave no blanks. Unexpectedly, I was actually admitted in the end! Later, when I graduated and went to the Public Security Bureau, I applied for an office job, but later I don't know how it happened, I became an outpatient, and I have been doing it until now! "Zhong Han listened silently, and seemed a little helpless about Gu Xiaofan's experience. He didn't make any praise or criticism, and continued to walk forward with a slower pace.Gu Xiaofan walked beside him for a while, and finally couldn't help but say to Zhong Han: "That... I'm sorry about what happened in the hotel last weekend!""It's okay," Zhong Han glanced at her, "I was thinking, if you continue to pretend that nothing happened, how can I remind you again, but since you are still honest, let's just say it's a one-to-one tie, and we can put that matter behind us.""Again? One-to-one?" Gu Xiaofan heard Zhong Han say this, and her eyes widened in surprise, "Oh! You really did it on purpose! I knew it! How can you be so petty as a man! I didn't mean to do it that day, it just happened that I couldn't help it at that time, and you just happened to turn from the corridor, it was an unintentional mistake on my part, but you are so vindictive!""Vengeful? If I really wanted to be vindictive with you, I should have spit on your chest, that would be a real tie, right?" Zhong Han expressed his disapproval of Gu Xiaofan's accusation, "Think about it and you will know, After all, it is more uncomfortable to vomit by yourself, or to be vomited on by others. "Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but imagine what would happen if the roles were reversed that day, and it was Zhong Han who vomited on her. Just thinking about it made her stomach feel uncomfortable again. So although she was still a little angry because she was tricked by Zhong Han, she couldn't help but feel a little short of breath: "Anyway, anyway, I know that you are a petty man with no tolerance at all.""Whatever you want," Zhong Han turned his head and squeezed out a face without sincerity to Gu Xiaofan, "but look at my innocent appearance, I guess even if you tell others that I did it on purpose, no one will believe it.""Just wait and see, old fox!" Gu Xiaofan glared at Zhong Han, quickened his pace and walked forward a few steps, and found that Zhong Han was still walking at the same speed as before. The two of them saw that they were pulling away. He glanced at the dark environment around him, and had to slow down his pace again, and followed Zhong Han reluctantly.Zhong Han couldn't see Gu Xiaofan's expression clearly in the night. He could only see that she seemed to pout, as if she was unhappy. However, because she was afraid of the dark, she had to follow him closely. He couldn't help but smile silently with the corners of his mouth curled.When they arrived at the factory, it was just in time for the factory shift change. Some people came to work, and some went out after get off work. There were people coming and going at the gate, and many nearby residents ran to the gate to set up stalls to sell cooked food and boxed lunches. It seemed quite lively. Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan entered the factory gate in the crowd, and no one noticed them. The atmosphere here was very different from that of the company.Ren Xuefeng has been in the furniture business. At first, he only had a furniture factory that produced some solid wood furniture for other brands. Later, as his economic strength grew, he could no longer satisfy his appetite by working for others. He then registered and established his own furniture company, established his own brand, and took a one-stop route from production to sales. Although his furniture brand is not well-known, it is still quite popular among the middle and lower consumer groups because of its low price, so the benefits have always been very good, which can be seen from the number of employees in the factory.Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan found the deputy factory director who was on duty at night. The deputy factory director was in his forties, about the same age as Ren Xuefeng. He was not too surprised that Ren Xuefeng might have an accident. He said that although he was not a veteran employee in the factory, he had worked with Ren Xuefeng for several years. In the past, Ren Xuefeng would never come to the factory for a month or two unless he was on a business trip to other places to discuss business. The deputy factory director said that Ren Xuefeng had always believed in a truth, that is, if the company let it go, at most it would lose customers and turnover, but if the factory let it go, it would smash its own signboard and rice bowl, so he always put more effort into the factory than the company.Talking about Ren Xuefeng's personality, the deputy factory director had a good impression of the boss, saying that he was a righteous man. He had taken a fancy to his ability and poached him from another place with a lot of money. Although he only verbally agreed to some favorable conditions, he did not break his promise after he really jumped to work, which made the deputy factory director's impression of Ren Xuefeng suddenly become better.Speaking of Ren Xuefeng's two wives, the deputy factory director said that when he came to work in this factory, Ren Xuefeng had divorced his ex-wife, and it seemed that he had just married Xu Ruobei not long ago. The deputy factory director had no impression of the ex-wife who had become a thing of the past, but when talking about Xu Ruobei, although he repeatedly considered the words, the dissatisfaction in his tone was still clearly expressed."I can't explain the feeling clearly. Logically, there are some things I shouldn't say, but..." When asked about his impression of Xu Ruobei, the deputy factory director scratched his head after thinking about it, and said with some embarrassment, "She is the boss's wife. This factory is her husband's property. We all work for her husband and get paid by her husband. Even if no one emphasizes this, we can't forget it. We don't need her to come and point fingers and shout at us to prove it. I didn't say anything. I heard that she was a college graduate and educated, but the things in the factory are not something she can understand after a few days of reading. Experience is also very important, but she doesn't care about that. She always takes it for granted that we do what she wants, which makes us very embarrassed. It's hard to say anything in person, and we have to call again to ask Boss Ren's opinion afterwards.""What is Ren Xuefeng's attitude towards Xu Ruobei's interference in the work of the factory?" Zhong Han asked the deputy factory director.The deputy factory director frowned and said, "Anyway, every time we encounter Xu Ruobei coming to make decisions, we call Boss Ren and he always tells us to do what we want to do and not to care what Xu Ruobei says. He will handle Xu Ruobei's case. But Xu Ruobei still comes when she should, and Boss Ren has never stopped her severely. So I guess men of our age will spoil a young wife who is ten or twenty years younger than themselves."After chatting with the deputy factory director, Zhong Han asked if he could introduce other people. The deputy factory director immediately started to help them find people without too much concern. After a while, he found a sales manager. When the manager was led by the deputy factory director, his eyes were still a little blurry, his cheeks were red, and he walked crookedly."Don't mind, you two. He went out with a client for a social event at noon and came back in the afternoon. This client is a famous alcoholic. If you want to get his order, it is absolutely impossible not to accompany him to drink. So this is not it," the deputy factory director pointed at the sales manager who was leaning on the sofa and trying to cheer up, "he was drunk and slept in the office without knowing that it was past the end of the get off work day. If I hadn't helped you find someone, I would have seen the light in his office and went to check. Maybe this guy could sleep until tomorrow morning."After confirming that the sales manager had basically sobered up, the deputy factory director also understood that he needed to avoid it, so he left first, leaving Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan to talk to the sales manager alone.The sales manager was mostly sober, but he was still a little sleepy, but his mind was still very clear. At least after Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan informed him that the big boss of the factory, Ren Xuefeng, might have had an accident, the sales manager's first reaction was to ask whether it was serious, whether it would affect the operation of the factory, and whether the factory would suddenly close down and everyone would go home.Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan were both at a loss for words. They could only appease him a little before turning the topic to the point, asking the sales manager about his impression of the boss, Ren Xuefeng.The sales manager took a breath, his breath still smelling of alcohol. He smiled and said, "Boss Ren is a good person! He is nice to everyone, to his subordinates, to his customers, and to women!""Are you talking about Xu Ruobei?" Gu Xiaofan asked."She is one of them!" The sales manager smiled ambiguously and waved his hand.
