Being an emperor is not something he can do, so he can only rely on his connections.

"Ah la ca ca, Buddy Buddy..." As the alarm clock rang with the onion song, Zhang Jinwei opened his eyes sleepily. He had a strange dream last night, which made him fall asleep in the middle of the night.

After washing up, I planned to have breakfast, so I called the boilerman in the workshop.

"Wow~Xiaoxiong, please report this morning's energy plan for me first. When Master comes later, you can help me for a while. I'll bring you some rice noodles."

After Xiaoxiong agreed, he went straight to the breakfast shop downstairs. Xiaoxiong was a boiler foreman who lived in the factory dormitory. He had a good relationship with Zhang Jingwei and they graduated from the same university in the same year, but they joined the company at different times.

Last year, in order to reduce costs, the company cafeteria stopped providing breakfast, which caused complaints from all departments. But over time, everyone got used to it. Xiaoxiong's biggest hope in the morning was the bowl of rice noodles brought by Zhang Jingwei.

"Slurp, slurp~" Zhang Jingwei was eating rice noodles and scrolling through short videos when he suddenly came across a report. The number of deaths from wild mushroom poisoning in Yunnan this month has surpassed the number of COVID-19 deaths last year. The Yunnan Provincial Tourism and Culture Promotion Bureau has issued a warning: Do not eat poisonous wild mushrooms. Cook edible wild mushrooms correctly. While wild mushrooms are beneficial, they should not be consumed blindly.

In fact, for every Yunnan resident, such news is no stranger to them. Every year, there are dozens or hundreds of cases of wild mushroom poisoning, either caused by outsiders who cannot distinguish the mushroom species, or because the mushrooms are not cooked thoroughly.

"Hey, it rained heavily the past two days, so there should be a lot of mushrooms on the mountain now, right?" Several people at the next table were discussing the gift of nature.

"Mushrooms are incredibly expensive this year. They're sold by the gram."

“Hype, absolutely hype!”

"Come on, if you want to eat it, you can't just pick it up yourself. Do you have to buy it?"

"If you pick it up yourself, you might see little people in your food (you might see little people after being poisoned by wild mushrooms)."

After finishing his meal, Zhang Jingwei lit a cigarette and drove to work leisurely. Perhaps because he didn't sleep well, he yawned several times.

So he slowly took out the betel nut and stuffed it into his mouth, "Betel nut plus cigarettes, the power is boundless!" The industrial zone is not far from the city, and he arrived at the company in half an hour.

He had barely taken half a step into the workshop when Xiaoxiong came running over to him in a panic, saying, "Brother Wei, something new has happened. This morning, our master and a young lady were looking through some documents in the office!"

After handing the rice noodles to Xiaoxiong, he walked straight to the office window, peered inside, and said, "No way, there weren't any girls interviewed yesterday. Master never likes assistants who are parachuted in (people directly inserted by senior leaders)."

Master Li saw two heads sticking out of the window and waved, "Jingwei, come in!"

Zhang Jingwei obediently opened the door and walked up to Master Li.

"This is the intern assistant assigned to the workshop by the group leader. I'll take her through the onboarding procedures first, and then help her understand the workshop structure and get acclimated before starting training. Her...her last name is Huang, so let's call her Xiao Huang."

Zhang Jingwei first took a quick look at the woman before him. She was about 1 meters tall, which made her look taller even compared to the 7 meter tall man he was. She had a high ponytail, big eyes, and the same sword-like eyebrows that Master Li had. She wore light makeup, and her cool and handsome expression made her look very heroic.

"Manager Li, my surname is Huangfu..." The young lady glanced at Zhang Jingwei coldly and said.

"Well, it's all the same. I'm out on patrol. If you have any questions, just ask Jingwei."

"Don't spill soup on my table, you little bastard."

Master Li waved to them and left the office without looking back. Before leaving, he did not forget to scold Xiaoxiong who was eating rice noodles at the tea table.

After Master Li left, Zhang Jingwei stepped forward and introduced himself. "Hello, my name is Zhang Jingwei. I mean Zhang the bow chief, and I mean the longitude and latitude."

"My name is Huangfu Ling, and I'm a senior at Xiangzhou University."

As he spoke, he extended his hand for a handshake. Just as Zhang Jingwei was about to shake it, Xiaoxiong grabbed Huangfu Ling's tender hand and began to introduce himself earnestly, "My name is Chen Jianxiong, I'm 25 years old. You can call me Brother Xiong. I'm the foreman of the energy group. I graduated from Yunnan University of Science and Technology. I've been a social animal for three years and I'm currently single."

Huangfu Ling was startled at first, then raised his eyes and snorted coldly:

"Team Leader Chen, you have been working for so long, why are you still single? You should look for the reason yourself. Is it because you are not capable enough? Is it because you don't work hard all day and only think about the female interns in the company?" After saying that, he exerted force with his hand, and Xiaoxiong cried out in pain.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoxiong was just being presumptuous when he saw a pretty girl. He just wanted to say hello to you and had no ill intentions." Zhang Jingwei supported Xiaoxiong and tried to smooth things over.

Huangfu Ling shook off the dirty hand and said calmly, "I know he has no ill intentions, otherwise his hand would have been broken into eight pieces."

Xiaoxiong shuddered and ran away in embarrassment, his hands folded: "Brother Wei, I'm going to check in."

As he ran, he muttered, "It's too brutal. It's not suitable for me. It's not suitable for me!"

Although Xiaoxiong is a little short, as a blue-collar worker, his shoulders are actually much smaller than a girl's.

Judging from Huangfu Ling's outfit, she is wearing a loose denim jacket, white wide-leg pants, and a pair of dad shoes. She looks like an ordinary and fashionable girl, but one can always feel that there is a burly body hidden under her clothes.

However, he still looks thin compared to Zhang Jingwei's muscular body.

In the morning, Zhang Jingwei took Huangfu Ling through the onboarding process and briefly introduced the workshop's operations. It wasn't until the afternoon...

At 2:30 p.m., Master Li called a meeting of all blue-collar workers in the workshop because they had not declared an energy plan and the factory’s energy was about to run out.

In the workshop meeting room, Zhang Jingwei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, while Xiaoxiong had a dull look in his eyes, and the other foremen looked as if they were waiting to see a show.

"Bang!" The door of the conference room was kicked open. Master Li held the water cup tightly and strode to his seat.

Huangfu Ling, who didn't know what was going on, was frightened.

The tense atmosphere lasted for about five minutes before Master Li spoke.

"I'm waiting for you to explain to me! Who's on duty this week?"

"Bang!" The water cup slammed heavily onto the table.

"It's Zhang Jingwei!" replied Wang Bin, leader of the supply team.

"Assistant Zhang was not on duty this morning, but I saw Team Leader Chen using your computer." Security team leader Zhao Yunxiu added.

Xiaoxiong, still with a dazed look in his eyes, replied, "This morning, I used Master's computer to authorize me to file the application, but I didn't expect the energy company to reject it. I looked at the receipt, and it's because they didn't... didn't authorize me."

The so-called rotation actually means reporting reserve energy to the energy company, and the personnel who liaise with the energy company must be fixed.

Both reporting systems have managers, and only those authorized by the administrator have the right to manage energy reporting. However, due to the imperfect system, only one person can be authorized.

"Did a donkey kick your head? You gave the authorization to Zhang Jingwei, but you didn't use his system directly. You come to tinker with my computer. If you don't know how to use it, don't you ask? What are you doing with your big mouth? Your mother raised you for nothing, but you didn't grow taller or smarter?!"

Master Li yelled and cursed, and his words were very unpleasant. Xiaoxiong just hung his head and endured the insults.

"And you, you're really getting by, Assistant Zhang. Is this the same kind of slacking and cheating I've taught you all these years? Not only are you absent from your shifts, but you're also constantly waving my flag, acting like a bully and being lazy. Do you really think you're a white-collar worker?"

Master Li scolded them in the office for ten minutes.

Zhang Jingwei sincerely handed a cigarette to Master Li. After taking the cigarette, he lit it for Master Li tremblingly.

Huangfu Ling could hear that Manager Li's attitude towards Zhang Jingwei had become much more relaxed.

"Master, calm down. This has already happened. Shouldn't we find a way to resolve it now?"

"I've already contacted the energy company and activated our backup reserves. We're using backup energy for no reason, and they think we're going bankrupt. How shameful! Where will I put my face from now on?"

"I knew you had a way, Master. In our industry, you are the best!" Zhang Jingwei gave Master Li a thumbs up.

Master Li just snorted coldly without any anger.

Wang Bin shook his head and muttered, "The old man still favors him."

"The leader of the loading and unloading team has requested leave today. A batch of auxiliary materials will be delivered later. Let Zhang Jingwei unload them. He can also take Xiao Huang to learn about the materials. Meeting adjourned!"

After the barrage of criticism against Xiaoxiong, Huangfu Ling was in no hurry to correct him and had to agree obediently.

As the two waited for the truck on the loading dock, Huangfu Ling exclaimed, "Oh my god! Manager Li is so fierce! But he seemed so kind this morning."

Looking at her stern expression, I thought she would be calm inside, after all, she is still a little girl.
