Chapter 1819: Social Mixer

Ye Yaodong and Lin Xiuqing watched as Ye Chenghu was kept in the dark by them.

They held the 'Big Brother' phone, chatting very freshly, one sentence after another, and only hung up after being urged by the couple.

Lin Xiuqing asked suspiciously, "You bought a 'Little Overlord' game console and haven't let your Big Brother know?"

"Yes."

"Why hide it from him?"

Ye Xiaoxi looked at Ye Chengyang; she didn't know why they had to hide it from Big Brother either. She had wanted to say it just now, but her second brother wouldn't let her.

The reason they didn't tell Big Brother after buying it was because they hadn't called Big Brother either.

Ye Chengyang was also a bit confused for a moment. That's right, why did he want to hide it from Big Brother? Even if Big Brother knew, he couldn't play it, and he couldn't fight them for it; he still had to tutor.

And they couldn't take it to Shanghai either, so even if Big Brother knew, he couldn't play it.

He thought for a while before coming up with a suitable reason.

"If Big Brother knows, he won't have the heart to attend class or study, and he'll be angry. So it's better not to let him know and let him focus on his class. Anyway, whether he knows or not, he can't play it."

"Do you think you can hide it?"

"Who cares? Anyway, he didn't ask. Isn't it normal that I didn't call him? Didn't he not call us either?"

"I hope he doesn't explode with anger when the time comes."

Ye Yaodong took back the 'Big Brother' phone; he hadn't touched it enough yet.

It would be perfect to take it out when he goes out to socialize tomorrow and take the opportunity to spread his number far and wide.

Ye Xiaoxi lay on his lap, looking at it curiously. "Dad, how much does this cost? Is it expensive?"

"Expensive. You'd have to be sold to afford it."

She was happy. "Then I'm quite valuable."

"You're even happy about that?"

"Dad, I'll let you play my game console for a while, can you let me play with this for a while?"

"Dream on, get lost. School starts in a few days, have you finished your homework?"

"Finished. My second brother and I finished all our homework while on the boat. We can play happily for a few days, and then go back to Shanghai for school."

"Alright."

Thinking about it this way, there was no problem. Anyway, it was already confiscated, so let them play happily for these last few days.

Seeing no chance to touch the 'Big Brother' phone, the brother and sister ran off to play games again, leaving only the couple together to study the rarity.

When it was time for work, the two shifted their location to the office to study it and take the opportunity to be lovey-dovey.

"The Qixi social mixer is happening this evening. Is everything ready at the factory?"

"It must be ready. We have the experience from last year, no need to worry about any oversights."

"What are the gifts this year?"

"Of course, it's still the factory's specialty products. It can also serve as a promotion, letting them take them back to share with their families or relatives and friends."

"The factory's trucks have to go to the pier to pick up goods this afternoon. I guess many people won't be able to stay, right?"

"There's no help for that. Can we stop all production at the factory? Not doing any work just for a social mixer? That definitely won't work. Those who should be working in the workshop are still working as usual."

Those who want to participate in the activity sign up in advance, and after the people are decided, everyone adjusts their shifts in advance to free up this day.

Their factory implements a three-shift system, so there's no need to worry about no one showing up for the activity; there are plenty of free people.

"That's true." Lin Xiuqing didn't say anything more.

The factory had been decorated early in the morning, similar to last year, and many things were reused.

It was just that the open space in front of the cafeteria hadn't been decorated yet. They planned to wait until the sun went down to pull out the wires from inside the cafeteria and move the sound system out to play some music.

The young men also went to take baths and dress themselves up early, preparing in advance.

By the time the sun went down, everyone had already washed the ground once.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.

Lin Xiuqing even specially returned to the dormitory to tidy herself up, put on a small skirt, and applied some light makeup. After all, she was the boss's wife and also represented the factory's facade.

However, Ye Yaodong received a call temporarily and had to go out to socialize. He didn't have time to stay at the factory, so he handed the entire activity over to Manager Qi to arrange, and Ah Qing also followed to be responsible for reception. She was there last year, so she wouldn't be unfamiliar with it.

With him or without him, it was the same anyway.

He hadn't gone out to socialize much this month, and many calls that came in weren't answered, or he was back in his hometown.

Now that he had been back from his hometown for two days, he had to go out to socialize.

When he went out, the open space in the factory area was already full of people walking back and forth, and the radio was playing Sally Yeh's "Carefree Life." The young men were all full of spirit, humming along.

Lin Xiuqing didn't need to be busy with anything. When the guests arrived, she just had to follow and receive them. The activity had already been arranged by the factory. She didn't need to do anything, just accompany them with smiles and chats and watch the fun.

The leaders of the textile factory were still the same two who came last year, but the female workers weren't necessarily the same batch as last year; most were new faces.

Because the weather was hot, the women were all wearing various kinds of dresses, dressed up brightly and beautifully; just stepping off the car, they were a beautiful sight to behold.

Wearing less in the summer, everyone's arms and legs were exposed, and whether their bodies were exquisite could be seen at a glance. The bachelors in the factory had their eyes fixed, and those who didn't sign up successfully were regretting it to death in their hearts.

When people arrived, the sky hadn't darkened yet. Lin Xiuqing first invited the leaders and female comrades to the cafeteria to have a bowl of summer cold drinks to feel comfortable.

This time was unlike last year; it wasn't early when it ended, and it wasn't suitable to stay long to eat late-night snacks, so they arranged to rest their feet and eat cold drinks and snacks after getting off the car.

The leaders of the textile factory were also exceptionally satisfied with their arrangements. It was too thoughtful; they never let everyone go hungry. Coming from so far away, no one wanted to be neglected.

It was for this reason that there was a first time and a second time, and this year, a few more female comrades came, all having heard about it and wanting to come and see.

After everyone finished their snacks and rested their feet, the sky was already dark. Music sounded in the open space of the factory area, and everyone was a bit restless, so they arranged to go out and start the activity.

Lin Xiuqing watched the whole process of these shy men and women playing small games, blushing, twisting and turning, and flirting. Seeing it as someone who had been through it, she felt both moved and found it fun.

Her nephew didn't participate this year; neither Ye Chengjiang nor Lin Guangwen participated.

Ye Chengjiang was now waiting for school to start so that Ye Chenghu could introduce him to a female classmate.

Ye Chenghu was annoyed by his calls harassing him, only saying that he would ask after school started if any female classmates wanted to be pen pals.

He didn't dare ask if any female classmates wanted to date; asking like that would be asking for a beating, and no female classmate would dare to boldly say she wanted to date.

It was very popular to write letters to be pen pals now, and using this as a pretext was quite good. It was just making friends, who would ask someone to date as soon as they met?

It would scare people away. ===== CHAPTER 1820 =====
