"Engineer Chu, why are you back so soon?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be accompanying Xiao Zhao to receive her military uniform?"

I just got to the parking lot entrance.

The security guard on duty greeted Chu Weiguo warmly and offered him a cigarette.

Smiling, Chu Weiguo gently pushed the cigarette back and took out a pack of "Redwood" cigarettes that he usually couldn't bear to smoke, and handed one to the security guard.

"The military uniforms have all been distributed."

"In a few more days, that brat will be going to the army!"

"Come on, take one of mine, share in the good fortune!"

"Okay!"

The security guard didn't stand on ceremony. He first lit Chu Weiguo's cigarette before lighting his own, and then asked with some confusion.

"Now that you've received your military uniform... why don't you and Xiao Zhao take a picture together, something to remember the occasion?"

Upon hearing this...

Chu Weiguo's lips moved, and for a moment he became somewhat dazed, even forgetting to smoke the cigarette between his fingers.

The security guard curiously stretched out his palm and waved it in front of Chu Weiguo.

Chu Weiguo then came to his senses and spoke with a sense of loss.

"You're right...it's time to commemorate this..."

"In a few days, over the weekend, my son and I will go to the city for a stroll."

"But not today, I have to go to work."

"Tsk!"

Seeing that Chu Weiguo was still thinking about "going to work" at this time.

The security guard clicked his tongue, about to say something, when he remembered the situation at Chu Wei's home.

next second.

The words that had been welling up in the security guard's heart turned into a long sigh.

"well..."

"Chu Gong".

"You've really suffered all these years..."

He waved his hand dismissively.

Chu Weiguo took a deep drag on his cigarette, a bright smile spreading across his face.

"What's so bitter about it?"

"Isn't this just how life is?"

The words fell.

The security guard, who had been looking quite emotional, suddenly froze.

Chu Weiguo didn't say anything more, but just made the most of every second to enjoy the rare good cigarette in his hand.

"Let's go!"

"I still need to go back and report back on my leave!"

Chu Weiguo nodded to the security guard, and then, having just thrown his cigarette butt into the trash can, he strode briskly toward the depths of the factory area.

As one of the earliest foreign-invested enterprises to settle in Luzhou Industrial Park.

Kuangwen Electromechanical Technology Co., Ltd. holds a pivotal position in Luzhou, and countless locals are proud to be ordinary workers at Kuangwen.

As a senior technician, Chu Weiguo did not need to stand in front of the production line all day long like ordinary workers.

Although his official position was still worker, the role he played was somewhat like that of a "production line engineer" in later times.

Regular inspections are necessary to ensure the stable operation of production equipment.

They also need to rely on their rich experience and combine it with the actual situation to arrange and optimize the production plan, and from time to time they also need to be responsible for some key processes and teach new employees.

now.

Lunch break is over.

The faint rumble of machinery echoed in Chu Weiguo's ears, causing him to unconsciously quicken his pace.

The familiar workshop had already appeared before Chu Weiguo's eyes.

But before he could even enter, he saw a large group of workers in overalls pouring out, their expressions solemn, their steps hurried toward the factory gate.

"Old Chu!"

Several workers who were close friends with Chu Weiguo also noticed his presence at this time.

Before Chu Weiguo could even ask what was going on, they spoke up with great concern.

"You're back just in time! Come with us to look for them!"

"We just received a notification that the board member's youngest daughter has gone missing in the industrial park!"

Chu Weiguo looked around and saw that the expressions on the faces of his fellow workers were increasingly tense.

Anyone who didn't know better would think their own daughter had gone missing!

"director?"

"That foreigner who said he was coming to inspect today?"

"...right!"

Upon hearing this...

Chu Weiguo's expression also turned serious, and without saying a word, he joined the search team.

The fact that Kuangwen Company can offer wages far exceeding the local average is closely related to its foreign investment background.

If something were to happen to the director's youngest daughter, who knows what decision this director, who is also a representative of foreign capital, would make?

It's understandable that they were so nervous, given that it concerned their own livelihoods.

On the way to the factory gate.

People kept coming out of the workshop and joining their large group.

Just as Chu Weiguo and the others reached the vicinity of the gate and were about to leave the factory area.

A voice, filled with excitement and ecstasy, suddenly came from the back of the group.

"It's alright! We found it!"

"The person has been found!"

Upon hearing this news...

The workers were not angry about making a wasted trip; on the contrary, they felt genuinely fortunate.

The line, which had been moving straight ahead, suddenly turned around and walked back in twos and threes towards their respective workshops, their steps light and quick.

Chu Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and was about to go back to work when he saw the supervisor who had just run over to deliver the news staring at him with a suspicious look.

"Chu Weiguo?"

"Why did it take you so long to get back?"

From the outside...

This supervisor didn't seem to be much older than Chu Zhao.

Yet at this moment, he was addressing Chu Weiguo, who was many years older than him, by his full name, without feeling anything was amiss.

"Supervisor, didn't I already ask for leave...?"

"Of course I know you took leave!"

Before Chu Weiguo could finish speaking...

The supervisor, who was scrutinizing Chu Weiguo from head to toe, interrupted him impatiently.

"If I remember correctly, you only took an hour off, right?"

As he spoke, the manager stretched out his hand, seemingly wanting Chu Weiguo to see the expensive watch on his wrist.

"Look at the time! What time is it now?"

Seeing this, several of Chu Weiguo's coworkers quickly chimed in to help.

"Supervisor... Old Chu actually came back a long time ago."

"We told him about the director's daughter going missing, that's why he didn't report back from work..."

"Who knows if what you're saying is true or false?"

The explanation from the workers was rudely interrupted.

The supervisor frowned, looking arrogantly at the silent Chu Weiguo, and questioned him in a sharp voice.

"If everyone had no sense of time like you, what would become of our company's production order?"

"Considering this is your first offense and it didn't take too long, I won't deduct your half-day's wages and attendance bonus."

"But after you get off work tonight, you'll have to do an extra inspection of the equipment to make up for the time you missed."

"Did you hear me clearly?"

This statement came out.

One of Chu Weiguo's coworkers immediately widened his eyes, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to step forward to argue.

Before he could make a move, Chu Weiguo stopped him and then forced a somewhat forced and bittersweet smile at his supervisor.

"Yes, I understand."

"Thank you, supervisor."

He swept his disdainful gaze over Chu Weiguo and his companions one by one.

The supervisor snorted coldly, then turned his arrogant head and walked unhurriedly toward the office area, completely unlike the panic he had shown just a few minutes earlier.

On the other side...

Having just finished showering and changed into clean clothes, Chu Zhao was sitting at his desk, studying the watch in his hand with great interest.

A thought crossed my mind.

The watch suddenly disappeared from Chu Zhao's sight.

Instead, there were two lines of light blue text.

The collectibles have been placed in the exhibition hall.
