Chapter 250 The Awakening of a Single Mother (Part 6)

As for what they were cursing, Wen Chan and the other two couldn't hear it, so they didn't care.

Once she was far away from the walnut trees, Wen Chan slowed down her pace, and familiar colleagues greeted her along the way.

But in fact, Wen Chan was not familiar with any of these people. She was only familiar with the people in one office and the heads of various departments, since she had seen these people in meetings.

As soon as she stepped out of the factory gate, she saw her colleague in the office. This colleague was a woman in her forties who greeted Wen Chan familiarly as soon as she saw her.

"Xiaowen, are you taking your child to school? Why are you so late today? You'd better hurry, or your child will be late!"

As soon as Wen Chan saw this older woman, she reflexively adopted a respectful tone, "Yes, older woman, I have to take Ah Xuan to school. I overslept last night and got up a little late today, so I'm rushing to take the child there."

Then she asked in return, "Has your child already been sent to school, sister?"

Sister Zhao felt very comfortable seeing that Wen Chan was as respectful as ever. She had been working for several years and was still so polite.

So Sister Zhao was more patient with Xiaowen, saying, "Hey, that's right, I just dropped the child off at school and I just got back."

Knowing that Wen Chan was busy taking her child to school, she didn't want to keep her there any longer, so she waved her hand and told her to go quickly, "Go ahead, I won't keep you any longer."

Actually, Wen Chan wasn't that cautious with everyone; she just unconsciously showed more respect to older people.

Moreover, she used to be a people-pleaser, and over time, she couldn't change that habit no matter what she tried.

I greet everyone with a smile, a nod, and a bow; it was just a conditioned reflex.

This Sister Zhao is a long-time employee of the factory, and she always has a bit of a "know-it-all" attitude towards newcomers.

They always have to criticize what others do, and there's always this mentality of "being afraid that others will do a bad job, but also afraid that they will do a good job."

Sister Zhao was satisfied with Wen Chan because Wen Chan had been by her side for several years.

The two spent most of their time together, and over the past six years, she could see clearly who was who.

She's happy to show a good attitude to people who respect her, and Wen Chan has learned a lot from Sister Zhao.

Although Sister Zhao tried her best to keep her secrets from outsiders, she would always inadvertently reveal some self-satisfaction in front of the harmless Wen Chan.

Every time she had a great chat with Wen Chan, she would unconsciously share some life experiences and work tips with her.

After sending her son to school, Wen Chan rushed off to work at the factory.

The factory where Wen Chan works is very large, with more than 2,000 employees. I heard they are still recruiting new employees this year, and there will definitely be more people in the future.

The factory makes all sorts of electronic components, but Wen Chan doesn't know exactly what they are; they're just electronic parts.

However, these cicadas didn't care much. They arrived at and left work earlier than the employees in other workshops every day, and started work later than the employees.

As soon as Wen Chan entered the office, she saw several people eating breakfast. Hearing the noise, they all looked at her, but after realizing it was Wen Chan, they lost interest and continued chatting and eating.

When Wen Chan's colleague next door saw her arrive, she greeted her warmly: "Xiao Wen, you're here! You had the day off yesterday, where did you go?"

Wen Chan put her bag on the table and replied with a smile, "I had a bit of a cold when I woke up yesterday morning, so I stayed home to rest. I didn't have the energy to go out and play."

Wen Chan playfully retorted, "And you, where did you go for a good time with your boyfriend yesterday?"

Seeing that Wen Chan wasn't fun, Chen Sitong pouted and said listlessly, "Wang Kai was at work yesterday, how could he have time to spend with me?"

Thinking of something, Chen Sitong leaned closer to Wen Chan and whispered gossip, "I heard that a guy in the workshop over there was cheating on two women, and two of them are pregnant."

When Wen Chan saw that she had suddenly changed the subject, she smiled without interest and remained silent, continuing to tidy her desk and clean up the trash.

She had worked here for several years and was used to these kinds of gossips; they were nothing new to her, especially the things that happened on the assembly line.

But who could have imagined that Wen Chan would one day be the subject of such gossip?

Therefore, she didn't take it seriously at first in her past life, never expecting that she would stumble over these things.

However, I am not as mentally resilient as others. Of course, maybe it's because the incident didn't happen to me that I feel indifferent.

Hearing this again, Wen Chan still didn't know the truth. She didn't know whether these girls were being deceived or were knowingly and willingly being deceived.

Therefore, Wen Chan mostly chooses to remain silent. She listens quietly to what others say and keeps quiet. At most, she does not spread rumors or become someone who fuels the flames.

Seeing that Wen Chan wasn't interested, Chen Sitong lost interest in talking.

She spoke so excitedly, but the listeners seemed completely indifferent. So what was the point of her talking? Seeing that Wen Chan had already started working, she quickly went about her own business as well.

Wen Chan spent the whole morning trying to adapt to the rhythm of work and understand what she needed to do. Before she knew it, it was time to get off work.

Thinking of her son, who should still be at school, she quickly packed her things, said goodbye to her colleagues, and left work.

Chen Sitong was incredibly envious when she saw Wen Chan leaving get off work early. She whispered to her colleague next to her, "Wen Chan is so lucky. She can leave work twenty minutes early every day."

As soon as Sister Zhao arrived, she heard this and scolded Chen Sitong, "Xiao Wen reported to the supervisor. It's not easy for a woman to raise a child alone. You should be more generous and not keep nitpicking at her."

Some things are better left unsaid; everyone understands them, but if they are spoken, many people will hold a grudge.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen, who had a good relationship with Xiao Wen in the past, reminded her, "Friends shouldn't talk about each other behind their backs. It's easy to leave a bad impression and develop a gossipy habit."

Chen Sitong blushed after Zhao Dajie's words. She didn't mean it, but she just couldn't keep her thoughts to herself and let them slip out in her words.

So she always gives people the feeling of being unreliable. At home, her mother often scolds her and tells her to change this habit, but how can she change a habit that has been formed over many years?

Seeing that Sister Zhao was lecturing Chen Sitong, the people next to her also sat up straight and pretended to be busy.

In their office, Sister Zhao was undoubtedly the most senior, and she was also the oldest among them, so everyone was a little afraid of her.

Wen Chan had no idea what was happening here.
