The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Shi Rong came back to his senses and picked up the tube of precious ointment from the ground.

She walked into the women's restroom, carefully opened the exquisite packaging, squeezed out the liquid drop by drop, and applied it carefully. She didn't dare to waste too much, for fear that others would need it.

She didn't know when it started, but she had gotten used to living this cautiously, not daring to look others in the face or make too many enemies.

She was afraid that a new disaster would follow, which would be a fatal blow to her.

"Thank you."

This was the first time that Shi Rong took the initiative to speak to her since they met. Su Lu took a look at the thing lying in her palm and then applied a little burn ointment.

"You're welcome. You can keep them. I do less work than you, and it's not as dangerous, so I don't need them."

She forced the ointment into Shi Rong's pocket, ignoring the stiff expression on her face. She wanted to continue mopping the floor, but her busy hands were suddenly held down by Shi Rong.

"This is not your job, go get busy."

Her voice was very unpleasant, with an indescribable oppression, like a death spell, which made people's scalps tighten, but Su Lu didn't mind at all.

"It's okay, you're injured, I'll help you."

"If you help me, you will also be implicated."

Shi Rong stubbornly took back the rag she had just used and put it in the bucket to wash.

"I'm not afraid. I was born in the slums of a foreign country. I've done all kinds of dirty and tiring work. Don't underestimate me. I just can't stand them bullying you like this."

No matter how Shi Rong declined her kindness, Su Lu insisted on helping her clean the floor of the entire area.

"Look! It's faster if two of us do it together."

"Thank you."

After saying this in a low voice, Shi Rong picked up the bucket and walked away consciously, leaving Su Lu alone, standing there sighing repeatedly.

What kind of woman is this?

She doesn't seem to be as simple as she seems.

"Boss, as you instructed, I've secretly helped Shi Rong a lot, but she still has a lot of physical work to do every day. It hasn't changed since I came."

At night, the outskirts of Thorn Mountain were silent.

At this time, others have already gone to bed.

Only Su Lu carefully sneaked here from the female workers' dormitory. After confirming again and again that there was no one behind her and she was not within the surveillance range, she dared to take out the mobile phone hidden in her pocket and dialed a familiar number.

"Then do more."

A magnetic, deep, and pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes! Also, I've tried my best to please Shi Rong and become her friend, but she's very difficult to approach."

"Difficult to approach?"

The man on the other end of the line grasped these key words and remained silent for a moment.

"why?"

Su Lu bit her lip, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

"She's...very defensive."

"Oh?"

One sentence attracted the man's interest.

In my memory, that woman used to be lively and enthusiastic. She loved making friends and going out. She was nice to everyone and had no defensiveness at all.

If that were true, they wouldn't have gone to Jishan.

Besides, how can a good person change so suddenly?

"That's because you're not trying hard enough, you piece of shit!"

"Yes…"

Su Lu was startled by the man's sudden anger.

"I will try harder."

"Do your best to protect her. If you can't do this well, you can stay there!"

"clear."

Su Lu hung up the phone and returned the same way. On the way, she turned into the warehouse and took a look at Shi Rong.

It is said that this is a staff dormitory exclusively for her, but no matter how poor anyone is, there is a bed to sleep on here.

Shi Rong could only spread a thin, torn sheet on the cold, hard ground, and use someone else's leftover military coat as a blanket.

There are a lot of things in the warehouse, of all kinds, and there are often rats and cockroaches crawling all over the floor. If it were someone else, they would have been scared to death. It's a good thing that this woman can still sleep.

When it comes to hard work and perseverance, Su Lu thought that no one in the world could compare to her.

At three o'clock in the morning, Shi Rong, who had just taken a short nap, had to get up on time and prepare to go to the canteen kitchen to make breakfast for the workers. He would hold piles of fresh cabbages dripping with water, wash them, cut them into pieces, and blanch them in a pot.

The food she cooked was delicious, but her knife skills were not satisfactory and the cubes she cut were of different sizes. Jiang Na often made things difficult for her because of this.

"Good morning, No. 197! Let me help you cut the vegetables. You just go to the stove and light the fire while we prepare the meal."

Su Lu followed closely on time and walked into Area 5.

Seeing Shi Rong staring at her with a little suspicion, Su Lu smiled.

"Jiang Na is such a fussy person. You don't want her to pick on you because of the shape of the vegetables, do you? People should learn to find joy in adversity. Anyway, I can't sleep either. When I was a kid, my favorite thing to do was to help my mother cut vegetables..."

Shi Rong stood there without moving. She thought this woman was very strange. She was obviously the kind of person who could live a good life, so why did she have to appear here and always rush to help her with work?

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, as if in a trance, Su Lu raised her hand and waved it in front of her.

"Don't worry, I'll be there in time for the cleaning workshop at 6 o'clock. I'm helping you without asking for anything in return, so why do you always refuse my kindness?"

Her smile was warm and healing, without a trace of falsehood, just like him back then...

In addition to Jiang Na, the general manager, each section of South China Jishan also has a supervisor. They were originally selected and promoted by Jiang Na herself.

They are all strong, tall and powerful. Apart from inspecting the progress of work within the area, they also tease and molest those good-looking young girls.

Sulu, who had just arrived and was a rare beauty with outstanding appearance, was naturally one of their hunting targets.

"Miss Su~are you busy?"

The supervisor of the cleaning area is named Zhou Tianxiang, who is in his forties, with a muscular body, dark skin and yellow teeth. He has always been arrogant because he can talk to Jiang Na here.

He rubbed his greasy hands and walked over to greet Su Lu with a smile, but the woman pretended not to see.

"Miss Su, can you please pay attention to me? Are you tired? I'll treat you to a midnight snack tonight, how about that?"

The three meals a day here are all bland soups. Not to mention chicken, duck, fish, and meat, even a few extra pieces of meat are rarely seen in the big bowls of dishes stewed in iron pots.

A "delicious midnight snack" with dried fish is enough to win over more than 90% of the women here.

Only Su Lu remained indifferent.

"not so good."

Su Lu was in a bad mood. She was annoyed by his dirty, vulgar and disgusting face, so she simply changed direction and continued working.

"Oh my beautiful lady Su~ At worst, I can give you an extra chicken drumstick tonight?"

Zhou Tianxiang was still lustful, and while he was still talking, his big hands were already impatiently reaching out to her plump and firm breasts.

"Manager Zhou, there are so many people here. Isn't it inappropriate for you to do this?"

Su Lu couldn't stand it any longer. She avoided him calmly while raising her voice, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone around her.
