When will I have a long tassel?

In an instant, Tang Zifeng had the urge to throw away his luggage and run away. Fortunately, his reserve prevailed and he did not make such a drastic move. He is still not sure that the person in the room is the killer. If he shouts "Help" and runs out, brings a dozen strong men back, only to find that there is only one mouse in the room, then where will his face be?

He shouldn't be a bad person, right? If he was a bad guy, he would have rushed out with an eighteen-meter-long sword at this time. Also, if you listen carefully, the person in the room seems to be reading a book. He turns a page every half a minute. It is obvious that he is reading very seriously. People who read books like this shouldn't be bad people, right?

Tang Zifeng emboldened himself and tiptoed to the door of Beibei. When he looked around, he couldn't help but let out a long breath. I saw a thin little girl sitting on the floor with her back to the door at the window of the north bedroom, holding a book in her hand and reading intently. There was some movement when Tang Zifeng came in just now, but the girl didn't notice it.

"Hi!"

Tang Zifeng decided to say hello to the other party. Although he didn't know why the little girl appeared in his room, he visually estimated that the other party was not a killer sent by Song Fulai. Ever since Sister Chuchen retired from the world, there seemed to be no legend of a female killer in the world, right?

Hearing a sudden greeting from behind, the little girl screamed "Yeah" and jumped up from the ground like a spring. When Tang Zifeng called her, her back was still facing Tang Zifeng, but when she stood up, she was facing Tang Zifeng. She didn't know how she completed this complicated 180-degree turn in the air. .

Tang Zifeng could see clearly this time. She was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, with short hair and a pointed face, which made her eyes look big. She wore a top that was modified from the factory work clothes, and light blue sweatpants with white trim on the lower body. It looked like a middle school uniform, but she looked ugly no matter how she looked at it. She was still holding the book in her hand, with a look of horror on her face. She stared blankly at Tang Zifeng, forgetting to speak for a moment.

"I said...what are you screaming for? Shouldn't it be me who screams? By the way, I forgot to scream, ah——"

Tang Zifeng said with a smile, and finally he pinched his throat and imitated screaming, but the volume was slightly controlled. He didn't want the neighbors to think that he had a wolf in his house.

"Pfft!" The girl was amused by Tang Zifeng's performance and burst into laughter. She quickly reached out to cover her mouth to cover up her gaffe, and the previous feeling of being frightened and numb suddenly disappeared.

"Who are you and why are you in my room?"

Tang Zifeng asked in as gentle a tone as possible. He can believe that the other party is definitely not a thief, and thieves will not stay in the room and read a book. Since he is not a thief, it is inconvenient for him to be vicious to others. This little girl is younger than my sister, so I must not scare others.

"Are you Uncle Tang? My name is Yu Xiaohui. Manager Zhang of the labor service company arranged for me to help you with housework."

After the little girl got over the initial panic, she said to Tang Zifeng in a clear voice.

"Manager Zhang? Are you talking about Zhang Jianyang?" Tang Zifeng asked.

Yu Xiaohui nodded.

"Why does he want you to do housework for me?" Tang Zifeng asked again.

Yu Xiaohui shook her head, obviously this was not a question she could answer.

"Uh... So, if he asks you to help me with housework, what housework will you do?" Tang Zifeng changed the question.

This time, Yu Xiaohui answered neatly: "I can do everything. Manager Zhang asked me to help you clean, tidy up the room, wash clothes, buy food, cook, wash pots and dishes... Anyway, Manager Zhang said , I will do whatever you need me to do.”

"Whatever I need you to do, you will do it?" Tang Zifeng subconsciously thought of some words, but he quickly swallowed them back before they reached his lips.

Beast, you are still a child, okay? You're not a shameless rotten girl like Bao Nana. Don't you feel shameful when you associate her with such a place that is not suitable for children?

"How old are you?" Tang Zifeng asked.

"14 years old." Yu Xiaohui answered.

Sure enough, they are still children...

Tang Zifeng frowned and said, "Isn't that child labor? How could this Zhang Jianyang arrange for you to do housework for me?"

Yu Xiaohui remained silent again. This question seemed not something she was qualified to answer.

Tang Zifeng didn't expect Yu Xiaohui to answer such a question. He walked into his bedroom, picked up the phone from the desk, and dialed the manager's office of the labor service company:

"Hey, is this Manager Zhang? I'm Tang Zifeng."

"Oh, it's Assistant Tang. I heard that you are back. Have you eaten? If not, can I have someone bring it to you?"

Zhang Jianyang on the other end of the phone was quite enthusiastic. After a while, he not only heard about Tang Zifeng's return, but also learned that the Factory Affairs Council had arranged for Tang Zifeng to be in charge of the labor service company and become his immediate boss. Although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't show it in his attitude. He had to appear very attentive.

Tang Zifeng said: "I just came out from Director Zhou's place. I haven't had time to eat yet. I don't need to send someone to deliver the food. I will just go to the cafeteria to get food later. By the way, Lao Zhang, I'll call you." , I just want to ask, have you arranged for a little girl to do housework for me?"

"Yes, yes, her name is Yu Xiaohui. She is the eldest daughter of Yu Kexin, a worker in the lathe workshop. She is now studying in junior high school at the Factory Children's Middle School. I have inquired about it and found out that she has very good grades in school and is a top student every year. ..." Zhang Jianyang introduced him like a resume.

"Old Zhang, I'm off topic." Tang Zifeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew that Zhang Jianyang's purpose in emphasizing that Yu Xiaohui was a good student was to prove that the person he selected was reliable, at least not dirty, so that Tang Zifeng could rest assured. But the problem is that this is not what Tang Zifeng cares about.

"Old Zhang, I say you really haven't learned your lesson. Director Zhou repeatedly emphasized not to make leaders special. How come you quietly arranged a nanny for me? Is this in compliance with the regulations?" Tang Zifeng lowered his voice. explain. He was not sure where Yu Xiaohui was now, and these words were obviously not suitable for Yu Xiaohui to hear.

Zhang Jianyang on the other end of the phone also lowered his voice and said, "Assistant Tang, don't get me wrong. You, Factory Director Zhou, Chief Engineer Qin, and Chief Ning all came here alone, so your life must be very inconvenient. Arrange a nanny for you, who will usually help with cleaning, laundry, etc. It’s not anything special, it’s in compliance with the regulations.”

"It meets the requirements..." Tang Zifeng finally swallowed back a curse word, and then said: "Whether it meets the regulations, we will talk about it later. What do you mean by arranging such a young nanny for me? Is this considered child labor? It is a labor violation. Method?"

"No way?" Zhang Jianyang was a little stunned. Does the labor law have such a provision? He explained: "Assistant Tang, I want to explain this situation to you. This Yu Xiaohui is a little younger, but she can do housework no problem, her hands and feet are very nimble, and she can cook well. I To be honest with Assistant Tang, I actually arranged for her to stay with you, Assistant Tang. Because I think Assistant Tang is a tolerant person. There are some things I dare not say to others. Let me tell you."

"Uh-huh, Lao Zhang, tell me." Tang Zifeng was given a good guy card by Zhang Jianyang, and it was no longer convenient for him to blow his beard and glare. He decided to listen to Zhang Jianyang's explanation.

Zhang Jianyang said: "This Yu Xiaohui, I just told Assistant Tang, she is the eldest daughter of Yu Kexin, a worker in the lathe workshop. Yu Kexin is an old and sick young man. She took sick leave very early and can only get half of it every month. In terms of salary, the factory has not been very profitable in the past two years, and he can't even get this salary. His wife is a family worker, and she can't make much money. Old Yu is sick and has to eat some nutrition, so life at home is tight. Tight. Lao Yu and I were good friends in the past. Seeing this situation, can you not help him? "

"So you arranged for his daughter to work as a nanny in a labor service company?" Tang Zifeng understood.

Zhang Jianyang said: "At her age and as thin as a chicken, what else can she do besides doing some housework? When I worked in the factory, I made arrangements for her to have her after school. Go to the labor service company to help out when you have time. If you do something casually, the few dollars you can earn can be regarded as subsidizing the family, right? Now there is such an opportunity. I will arrange for her to come to your place to do housework, and she will come for two or three hours a day. , and it won’t be too tiring. Your Assistant Tang is a kind person, and I believe you won’t bully her, don’t you think?”

"Okay, you win." Tang Zifeng hung up the phone.

The reasons Zhang Jianyang gave were so powerful that it was impossible for Tang Zifeng not to let Yu Xiaohui stay.

This is a girl from a poor family, hoping to earn some labor money by helping him with some housework. If he drives Yu Xiaohui away, then Zhang Jianyang will either arrange for her to work part-time in the homes of other factory leaders, or he will have to let her go home and stay, and her income will be gone. Faced with this situation, what else can Tang Zifeng do?

To put it bluntly, what Zhang Jianyang did was moral kidnapping. Tang Zifeng sympathized with Yu Xiaohui, so he could only accept Yu Xiaohui as his nanny. In this way, the so-called rules of avoiding special care were broken. Tang Zifeng also thought about not being fooled by Zhang Jianyang, but after all, this was a intrigue between adults. Why should a little girl like Yu Xiaohui bear the consequences?

When Tang Zifeng called Zhang Jianyang, Yu Xiaohui had already arrived outside his bedroom door, standing there nervously waiting for Tang Zifeng's final judgment on him.

Tang Zifeng put down the phone and turned around to see Yu Xiaohui. The other person's thin and frail figure made Tang Zifeng finally give up the idea of ​​sending her away. He sat down in front of the desk, pointed to a chair opposite, and said, "Come in, sit down, I have something to ask you."
