Working in Dongguan: The Girls I Met Over the Years

Chapter 29 The Mysterious Assistant Liu

After Ma Junjie went outside to throw the mouse away, he came back in.

The girl is much more natural now.

He asked Wang Xiaohua,

"Hey ladies, it's almost time to get off work, what are you doing here?"

Wang Xiaohua replied,

"Assistant Liu, we are from the outer packaging group 3. We've run out of packaging boxes, and Group Leader Zhang told us to come and get more."

The girl frowned, took out her phone, and looked at it.

He said somewhat awkwardly,

"You're too late, it's already 12 o'clock, I need to go home..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohua became somewhat anxious.

"Assistant Liu, please be lenient. We also wanted to arrive earlier, but Team Leader Zhang gave us this last-minute notice, and there's nothing we can do..."

Ma Junjie was also somewhat annoyed and prepared to confront Assistant Liu.

Knowing Ma Junjie's temperament, Wang Xiaohua quietly tugged at him.

Ma Junjie swallowed his words and glared at Assistant Liu.

Assistant Liu glanced at Ma Junjie,

He was acting strangely, looking both annoyed and helpless.

I couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, calming down, he said...

"Um... how about this, since he helped me catch the mouse earlier, I'll leave work early and collect it for you!"

Wang Xiaohua was overjoyed and quickly expressed her gratitude.

"Great, Assistant Liu, thank you so much!"

Ma Junjie looked coldly at Assistant Liu.

Thinking about what Wang Xiaohua had said not long ago,

The leaders here are all bastards.

He thought that this Assistant Liu was probably a bastard too.

Seeing that Ma Junjie was not moving, Wang Xiaohua patted him hard, implying that he should thank her.

"Hey, Ah Jie..."

Ma Junjie remained motionless, pretending not to hear.

This piqued Assistant Liu's interest.

She walked over to Ma Junjie, stared at him, and said...

"Hey, I'm working overtime for you guys, why aren't you thanking me?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything, because once he did, Ma Junjie was furious.

He stated bluntly,

"You're working overtime, and so am I. I thank you, but who's going to thank me?"

Assistant Liu was taken aback.

She probably had never heard anyone speak to her so directly before.

She stood there, lost in thought.

Wang Xiaohua sighed, "Oh dear," sensing something was wrong.

Thinking to myself,

"That kid's so stubborn!"

"This is terrible, this is awful!"

After a while, Assistant Liu thought for a moment and suddenly spoke up.

What you said actually makes a lot of sense!

"Uh..." Wang Xiaohua was dumbfounded.

Assistant Liu smiled happily, turned around and left.

"Hey lady, come here, I'll help you get the packaging boxes!"

Wang Xiaohua's brows relaxed, and she responded loudly.

"Okay, I'm coming!"

He then patted Ma Junjie hard with a smile.

"Ah Jie, don't just stand there, hurry up and let's go get our things!"

"Got it, let's go eat quickly!"

Upon hearing that it was time to eat, Ma Junjie felt a surge of motivation and quickly followed.

In no time,

The two men carried a trailer and two large boxes of packing materials.

Assistant Liu said,

"Ma'am, you can return the tow truck after you start work this afternoon, no rush!"

Wang Xiaohua expressed her gratitude.

"Okay, thank you, Assistant Liu. You're such a kind person!"

Assistant Liu smiled and glanced at Ma Junjie again.

Because he was thinking about food, Ma Junjie was depressed and listless, and completely ignored Assistant Liu.

Assistant Liu waved his hand and said,

"Okay, you guys can leave now, I'm closing up shop too!"

"Goodbye!" Wang Xiaohua called out.

Ma Junjie pulled the trailer in front, while Wang Xiaohua held the cardboard boxes beside him as they walked toward the workshop.

After walking for a while, Wang Xiaohua sighed.

"Ah Jie, we were really lucky today. It's fortunate we ran into Assistant Liu. If it had been anyone else, we would definitely have gone home empty-handed and gotten yelled at!"

Ma Junjie didn't take it seriously, but was also somewhat curious.

asked,

"Sister Wang, who is this Assistant Liu? She doesn't look very old, how come she's a leader here?"

Wang Xiaohua shook her head and said...

"I'm not entirely sure either; she was just transferred here suddenly at the beginning of this year."

"I heard she just graduated from university and came here for an internship, but she's taking on multiple roles and trying out all sorts of different positions..."

"Many people speculate that she must have connections and is definitely a future management trainee!"

Ma Junjie seemed thoughtful and sighed.

"This world is so unfair; your birth determines your fate. Some are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, while others are born with nothing!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled.

"Ah Jie, don't think like that. We ordinary people have our own way of living. Just being ordinary and happy is enough!"

Then, changing the subject mysteriously, he said to Ma Junjie,

"Ah Jie, I've heard that many people know Assistant Liu has connections and are all trying to pursue her, hoping to achieve their own success!"

"Those people are all scoundrels, their behavior and character are terrible, even I wouldn't look down on them!"

Then he suddenly stammered and said,

"Ah Jie, I think, I think..."

"Sister Wang, just say what you want to say, it's okay!" Ma Junjie said.

Wang Xiaohua smiled.

"Hehe, I just think you're handsome, tall and strong, and have good character, so why don't you..."

"What should I do? Sister Wang, don't hesitate to speak!"

"Hehe, why don't you go after Assistant Liu? You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"

"Uh, never mind!" Ma Junjie stretched out a hand and waved it forcefully.

"Sister Wang, please stop joking with me!"

"How could someone as insignificant as me possibly aspire to be associated with such important figures as them?"

"Sister Wang, I know my own limitations. Besides, I want to create my own happiness with my own hands."

Wang Xiaohua was somewhat surprised and said...

"Ah Jie, you really surprised me!"

"Not bad, not bad, hehe, if I were ten years younger, I'd probably have a crush on you too!"

Ma Junjie was taken aback, stopped, and turned his head to look at Wang Xiaohua.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly offered a frantic explanation.

"Ah Jie, I was just kidding, just kidding!"

Ma Junjie turned his head.

He swallowed the words he was about to say.

He originally wanted to say,

"Sister Wang, actually I just like older women like you!"

A dozen minutes later, after a lot of effort, the two finally managed to transport a truckload of cardboard boxes back to the workshop.

The workshop was now completely empty.

Wang Xiaohua straightened her clothes and patted the dust off her body with a towel.

He then handed the towel to Ma Junjie and said,

"Ah Jie, you can go to the cafeteria to eat by yourself. I'm going home to have dinner with my kids."

Ma Junjie was shocked to hear this.

"Sister Wang, you're already married and have children?"

Wang Xiaohua burst into laughter.

"At my age, if I'm not married and have children, I'd be drowned in my family's gossip long ago!"

"My child is already 6 years old, and we rent a place. When you have a day off, I'd like to invite you over for dinner!"

Ma Junjie replied,

"Great! I'd like to see your child too!"

Wang Xiaohua smiled and urged,

"Ah Jie, hurry up and go to the cafeteria, it's too late, they'll run out of food soon!"

Ma Junjie was startled, suddenly remembered, and quickly returned the towel to Wang Xiaohua.

"Sister Wang, I saw you this afternoon, I'm off..."

"Don't rush, take it slow..." Wang Xiaohua chuckled as she watched Ma Junjie's tall figure disappear into the distance.
