The moving of items took almost an hour to complete.
After they stopped, everyone's clothes were so wet they clung to their backs.
Tang Nannan’s hair was plastered to her forehead, sweat dripping down like yellow beans.
Wang Tengfei tenderly handed her a pack of wet wipes, "You, you just came as a driver to drop someone off, why did you get involved in the work?"
"With your small frame, carrying such heavy things, aren't you afraid of straining yourself."
"It's okay. I'm used to it. I actually quite enjoy working, breaking a sweat makes me feel comfortable."
Tang Nannan joked with Wang Tengfei.
"Actually, you should do more of this kind of thing, you'll save money on gym fees. It's healthy, exercises your body, and makes Uncle Wang happy."
Wang Tengfei smiled, "If I could work with you every day, nothing would be a problem."
"I know my weight is a bit over the limit, don't worry, I'll lose it."
"Rest for a while, what do you want to drink? I'll buy it for you."
Tang Nannan smiled gently, "No need, I'm not thirsty. How can I rest before starting work? Go chat with Engineer Hu and see what we need to do next."
"I heard from him that the project schedule is quite tight, we can't hold the client back, right?"
Hu Jiasheng was very pleased.
Tang Nannan was a smart person, knowing how to leverage her advantages.
Although she had no romantic feelings for Wang Tengfei, their relationship could still be managed very harmoniously by her.
At her suggestion, Wang Tengfei walked over proactively.
Hu Jiasheng brought up the blueprints, and the three of them, along with the technician, gathered to systematically study the product assembly.
Hu Jiasheng explained things professionally, and Tang Nannan stood behind the three of them, listening, finding it quite interesting.
Although she didn't graduate with a mechanical and electrical engineering degree, many things were based on physics common sense, which she could understand.
After everyone discussed, they unanimously decided that the first step would be to measure the spacing, plan the location of the charging piles, then bury the wires in the ground to test if the electricity would flow, and finally install the relevant equipment piece by piece.
Tang Nannan enthusiastically helped in the process.
While others measured distances, she recorded them on her phone and called out the numbers.
When others calculated numbers, she also silently followed along, checking how far off the correct answers were.
She also ran errands to help with the electrical connections and craned her neck to watch the test results.
She was busy all afternoon but happy about it.
If the three professionals couldn't connect the electricity properly, wouldn't that be a problem?
The test results were successful. Besides Tang Nannan cheering with a "yeah," everyone else showed little reaction.
Seeing her enjoying herself, Wang Tengfei also smiled.
"How is it? Don't you think this job is quite fun?"
"And you have a lot of talent. No wonder my dad said you'd pick it up quickly."
Tang Nannan said, "Interest is the best teacher, who told me I'm interested in this line of work. I never knew I could do this job, it's all thanks to Uncle Wang."
"Don't be so polite, we're family from now on. As long as you're interested, I look forward to you joining, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow."
Everyone went to the public restroom to wash their hands, chatting as they walked.
Tang Nannan and Hu Jiasheng walked ahead, talking and laughing, while the technician walked behind Hu Jiasheng.
Looking at their harmonious backs, the technician gossiped with Hu Jiasheng.
"Isn't she a taxi driver? Why is she going to work for our company? And she knows the young master? This woman is something else."
Prejudice already?
Hu Jiasheng glanced at him but said nothing.
The technician continued, "It's better to be a woman. With a little bit of looks, men will proactively offer you opportunities, and you can live your life without lifting a finger. Sigh, unlike us men."
"After working so hard to study for so many years, working overtime every day until we're exhausted, in the end, I'm on equal footing with a taxi driver..."
Hu Jiasheng didn't want to listen to his meaningless complaints. He quickened his pace, creating some distance between them, and walked to the front of the group.
Tang Nannan said goodbye to Wang Tengfei and drove Hu Jiasheng back, discussing things with him on the way.
"Mr. Hu, you might have to wait a little while later. I need to go to my company to handle the handover procedures for the taxi."
Hu Jiasheng nodded faintly and asked her how long it would take.
"I don't know, I've never done this before. How about this, I'll drop you off first, and if the procedures are complicated..."
The group adhered to a strict eight-hour workday, finishing at five o'clock.
At five o'clock in the summer, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was clear, it felt quite early.
It was of no use for Hu Jiasheng to return so early.
"No need. Waiting for a while is fine."
When they arrived at the taxi company entrance, Tang Nannan ran inside, and he waited outside.
Diagonally in front of the company entrance, there was a large tree with dense shade underneath. Several elderly men had set up a chess stall in the shade.
Hu Jiasheng, with nothing to do, went to watch the old men play chess, and inadvertently stayed until it was dark.
The old men started receiving calls from their wives asking them to come home for dinner. Tang Nannan still hadn't come out.
Hu Jiasheng came back to his senses, looked at his phone, and saw that over two hours had passed.
He hadn't saved Tang Nannan's phone number or added her on WeChat, so now, at a critical moment, he couldn't even call her.
He didn't believe Tang Nannan would abandon him and go back alone. Sensing that something was amiss, he decided to go to the entrance to inquire.
Fortunately, at this moment, Tang Nannan's silhouette slowly emerged, walking towards him against the twilight.
Approaching him, she saw Hu Jiasheng's serious expression and knew he had been waiting for a long time. She apologized sheepishly and explained.
"I didn't give advance notice, I resigned too abruptly, and the manager didn't agree. It took quite some effort to finally get him to agree."
Hu Jiasheng noticed two very noticeable scratches on her arm, dotted with blood, and pointed them out with his chin.
"Just for this reason, he got physical with you?"
Tang Nannan raised her arm to look at it.
"It's okay, it's not serious. Fortunately, he got physical with me, and the top leader saw it, so I was able to get the paperwork. Otherwise, who knows how he would have made things difficult for me."
The malice society holds towards women is immense; one can feel it if they delve into it.
Hu Jiasheng thought about what the technician had said that afternoon.
He felt that Tang Nannan's success was obtained by lying down, through her looks.
How ridiculous.
If all men in the world could show a little respect to women, gender relations wouldn't be so adversarial.
Regardless, she got the paperwork and left that wretched place, which was a good thing.
Hu Jiasheng rarely managed a smile for her, reaching out to pat her shoulder.
"Don't think about unhappy things. Congratulations on officially climbing out of the quagmire. You'll be facing a new beginning tomorrow, it's worth celebrating."
"What do you want to eat? My treat."
Seeing him smile, Tang Nannan felt a little better.
"Can't I treat you?"
"Wait until the day I leave. I won't agree if you don't treat me then."
Her smile froze on her face, and Tang Nannan's mood plummeted again.
"How much longer do you have to stay here?"
"Eight days at most. It would be best if the work can be completed within eight days."
