CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 151: YOU’RE THE TALKATIVE ONE

After sending off his mother and second sister-in-law, He Jinxuan returned to the Security Section with the two children.

Sili was very sensible, taking his younger brother to sit by the empty desk near the window in the Security Section. He took out the notebook that his uncle had prepared for him to practice writing the characters he had learned. He even taught his brother a few numbers, making sure not to disturb his uncle at work.

In a short while, the clerk Xiao Li came in from outside, sat opposite He Jinxuan, and whispered, "Director, the things you wanted are ready. You can pick them up tonight."

He Jinxuan nodded at him, "Thanks."

Xiao Li waved his hand, "We’re all on the same team, no need to be formal."

He Jinxuan put down the cup of tea he was holding, "Alright, let’s grab a drink together some other day."

Xiao Li laughed, "Sure, I’m up for that."

Once everyone was assembled, He Jinxuan arranged the patrol tasks, then took Officer Zhang Chengxiang towards the warehouse.

Unexpectedly, they ran into Luo Xiujuan from logistics, who was there having a tussle with a male colleague. A group of people not far away were pointing and gossiping.

He Jinxuan walked past without looking sideways, while Little Zhang murmured, "Director, lucky you didn’t end up with that Luo Xiujuan, wouldn’t you be frustrated."

He Jinxuan lifted his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "You talk too much."

Little Zhang chuckled, "Don’t worry, Director. My grandma said she’d keep an eye out for you. She’ll definitely find someone good."

He Jinxuan felt a bit helpless, "Please, tell Grandma Zhang that I’m not considering personal matters right now, no need for her to bother."

When he first arrived at the Mechanical Factory, Grandma Zhang, from the Security Section, insisted on matchmaking for him since he wasn’t married. Even after a couple of rejections, her enthusiasm remained undiminished. Eventually, she encountered Luo Xiujuan at the Zhang Family and tried to pair them up.

At that time, Luo Xiujuan blushed and said she was willing to date.

He didn’t want to directly embarrass Grandma Zhang, so he tactfully said, "My family is already looking for me."

As a result, the next day Luo Xiujuan came to the Security Section looking for him, saying she didn’t mind his age. Honestly, he thought this girl had something wrong with her then.

But he held back and only said, "Mr. Luo, sorry, my family has set me up on a blind date. I’ll go home to meet them on my next vacation."

The girl, however, acted as if she didn’t understand, "Director He, since you haven’t gone back yet, and since we’ve already met, I fancy you. Why not give it a shot?"

He put on a cold expression and had to say a few unpleasant words before driving her away.

But she continued to drop by the Security Section now and then, with a shy look leaning close to him, which nearly drove him nuts. He was almost tempted to resort to drastic measures.

Luckily, it wasn’t long before Sili and Siyan were sent over by the family, and Luo Xiujuan came around less often, especially after she injured her leg, which finally calmed the situation down. Rumor had it she hooked up with a young guy from the Technical Department within days.

Little Zhang laughed, "That Luo Xiujuan really has no shame; she’s already moved on to someone else."

He Jinxuan quickened his pace with a cold face, "Busybody."

Little Zhang jogged to keep up, "Director, you’re not getting any younger. You really shouldn’t keep delaying."

He Jinxuan glared at him, "Just look after yourself and stop sticking your nose in."

They completed their routine work at the warehouse and were just about to sign off on the checklist when they heard some commotion outside.

Little Zhang stood on tiptoe to look, "Director, it seems there’s trouble over at Workshop Three, want to check it out?"
