Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 209 Understanding the Situation

Upon hearing this, Ma Junjie sneered.

He didn't take Zhang Qiang seriously.

He had already experienced something similar when he first arrived at Xingda Toy Factory.

Wang Hu in the dormitory, and Zhang Jun, the group leader, aren't they exactly like Zhang Qiang now?

In the end, he was completely subdued by himself!

Ma Junjie responded calmly.

"Brother Hao, I know."

Afterwards, Ma Junjie exchanged a few more pleasantries with Jiang Hao and asked him some questions about the daily operations of Blue Moon before getting up to take his leave.

Jiang Hao personally escorted Ma Junjie to the office door, patting him on the shoulder and repeatedly giving him instructions.

"Ah Jie, call me anytime if you need anything! I'll be happy to oblige!"

"The security for Blue Moon is now in your hands!"

Ma Junjie nodded seriously in agreement, turned around, and walked down the stairs.

As he passed through the lobby, he noticed that the mess on the floor had been cleaned up, and several waitresses were tidying up the mess.

As Ma Junjie passed by, the group of people instinctively straightened their backs and greeted him respectfully.

Ma Junjie was surprised. How did these people know him?

He didn't linger and went straight to the security room located on the west side of the first floor.

Pushing open the door to the security room, a whiff of smoke mixed with the smell of sweat hit me.

There were five or six security guards sitting inside. Some were playing on their phones, some were dozing off in their chairs, and two were chatting idly together.

Ma Junjie glanced at them and recognized them as the same group of people who had previously joined Zhang Qiang in making a ruckus.

Ma Junjie noticed that the others hadn't noticed him yet.

He coughed a few times.

Someone heard the noise, but didn't even bother to lift their head, and impatiently cursed.

"Damn it, who is it?"

Some people found it strange and looked up.

Upon seeing this, they immediately fell silent and hurriedly stood up.

"Captain Ma... Captain Ma." The man greeted him stammeringly, his eyes darting around, and he nervously lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him.

Upon hearing the words "Captain Ma," the others were struck dumb.

One by one, they stood up instantly, standing ramrod straight.

"Hello, Captain Ma!"

Ma Junjie glanced at the group, said nothing, and slowly walked inside.

He saw that inside the security room, several desks were crookedly placed, and several dusty rubber batons were piled in the corner.

The monitoring screens displayed images of the lobby, corridors, parking lots, and other areas, with one screen showing snow-like noise.

"Please sit down," Ma Junjie said calmly, without putting on airs.

"I'm just here today to familiarize myself with the situation, so please don't be shy."

The group hesitated, exchanged glances, and dared not sit down; the air was somewhat still.

Ma Junjie walked to the monitoring console, pointed to the malfunctioning screen, and asked, "How long has this been broken?"

A tall, thin security guard came over to answer.

"Captain Ma, it broke yesterday... yesterday. Deputy Captain Zhang has already reported it for repair, but... it hasn't been done yet."

Ma Junjie frowned, thinking to himself, "What a coincidence."

"It must be fixed by tomorrow. There can't be any blind spots in the security surveillance," Ma Junjie said in a deep voice.

He then looked at the equipment in the corner and gave instructions.

"Take inventory of all the rubber batons and walkie-talkies, register any damaged ones, and report them. I will explain to the manager!"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man immediately responded.

"Okay... okay, Captain Ma."

Seeing that the tall, thin man was quite cooperative, Ma Junjie couldn't help but take a closer look at him and asked...

"What's your name?"

The tall, thin man answered, "Liu Xiaoshan!"

Ma Junjie nodded slightly.

Then, Ma Junjie noticed a tattered and dirty notebook on the table, with a patrol log written on it.

Ma Junjie walked over, picked it up, and flipped through a few pages.

The most recent date above is still a week ago.

Ma Junjie frowned and tossed the notebook down.

After thinking for a moment, he said,

"Xiaoshan, please pass on the message to everyone. There will be a meeting at 8 a.m. tomorrow."

Liu Xiaoshan was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Captain Ma!"

Ma Junjie scanned the room again.

Of the five or six people in the security room, apart from Liu Xiaoshan, the others kept their heads down the whole time, looking very honest and obedient.

Knowing that further words would be pointless, Ma Junjie turned around and walked towards the door.

Not long after stepping outside,

Ma Junjie suddenly remembered that he had something he wanted to tell Liu Xiaoshan and pass it on.

He turned and walked back.

As soon as I reached the security room door, I could hear a lively commotion inside.

Someone is mimicking what they just said.

"When did the screen break? Surveillance cameras can't have blind spots..."

"The rubber batons and walkie-talkies also need to be organized!"

"Remember, there's a meeting tomorrow, and no one can be absent!"

"Hahaha!"

"That country bumpkin really thinks he's something special!"

"Exactly, a bat with chicken feathers stuck in its body—what kind of bird is that!"

A burst of laughter erupted from inside the room, the laughter filled with mockery.

Ma Junjie stood at the door, his face alternating between red and white.

He really wanted to go in and yell at that group of people.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided against it.

He shook his head, a bitter smile on his face, turned around, and slowly walked away.

At that moment, Liu Xiaoshan's voice came from inside the room again.

"Stop talking, or he might hear you!"

Another person answered,

"So what if I heard? That country bumpkin, I bet he'll be crying and kicking the bucket in three days at most!"

"We only have one captain in our hearts, and that's Zhang Qiang!"

Ma Junjie sneered and quickened his pace.

As I stepped out of the Blue Moon gate, a dazzling light shone directly upon me.

Ma Junjie emerged from the darkness, involuntarily bowing his head and closing his eyes.

After a while, once his eyes had adjusted to the outside environment, he looked outside.

It's noon now, and the outside is already bustling with life, with people coming and going.

Seeing the small groups of people, Ma Junjie remembered what Carina Lau had told him yesterday: Liu Bingbing had been talking about him these past few days.

Logically, he should have informed Liu Bingbing before suddenly leaving Xingda Toy Factory.

Thinking of this, Ma Junjie took out his phone and dialed Liu Bingbing's number.

After a few dozen seconds, the call was connected.

"Hey, Brother Jie?" Liu Bingbing's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with excitement.

"Yes, Bingbing, it's me!" Ma Junjie replied.

"Bingbing, where are you? I'd like to invite you to dinner."

"Wow!" Liu Bingbing exclaimed in surprise.

"Brother Jie, did the sun rise in the west today? You actually invited me to dinner? That's weird!"

Ma Junjie gave an awkward smile.

"Bingbing, stop teasing me. Come out now, I have something to tell you."

"Hehehe!" Liu Bingbing burst into laughter.

"Okay, Brother Jie, I was just kidding."

"Brother Jie, where should we meet?"

Ma Junjie looked around.

"Bingbing, why don't you take a taxi to the city center?"

"I'm near Blue Moon Entertainment City."

Liu Bingbing didn't think much of it and replied.

"Okay, I'll be right out!"

After they hung up the phone, Ma Junjie walked into the crowd.

He planned to find a nice restaurant first, and wait for Liu Bingbing to arrive...
