eight years ago.
Xiang Huan was a freshman at Lincheng Academy of Fine Arts. He didn't go to Marriage Town during the summer vacation and stayed in Lincheng to find a job.
The teacher introduced her to working as a design assistant in a company that specializes in the design and processing of foreign trade handicrafts. The salary is not important, it is a rare opportunity to practice.
Brother Qin, the boss of the company, is a classmate of Teacher Xiang Huan. He is very cheerful and capable, and treats Xiang Huan well.
Xiang Huan also likes this job very much. Although it is tiring every day, it is still worth it because he is in a good mood and can learn something.
It was raining all the time during the summer of this year, and it was the same across the country. Eventually, floods occurred that had never happened in a century. It rained every day on my way to and from get off work.
One week after starting work, the boss, Brother Qin, called Xiang Huan to the office and said that the company had just negotiated a large order to export Christmas gifts to Europe.
They were given a theme, which was a paper craft based on the image of a bear. They had to design it themselves and then find a factory to process the finished product for delivery.
Brother Qin gave Xiang Huan the necessary information and asked her if she was confident in winning this design task.
"I can't do it. Although I really want to try it, I'm afraid it will mess up and delay Brother Qin's business. It's better for you to design it yourself and I'll do it." Xiang Huan is very self-aware.
This was real practice, not a design case she participated in in college classes. She really didn't think she could do it.
But Brother Qin insisted on letting her give it a try, saying that if he liked Xiang Huan, he would keep an eye on her, but he couldn't say anything anymore.
After going back and forth, Xiang Huan's competitive spirit was aroused. She gritted her teeth and nodded, ready to give it a try.
After staying up all night for two consecutive nights, Xiang Huan submitted the design draft with dark circles under his eyes.
After waiting for a day, her design draft was approved
After passing the review by Party A, this batch of orders is ready to start production and processing according to Xiang Huan's design.
Xiang Huan was so happy that she insisted on inviting Brother Qin to dinner to express her gratitude. These were the social skills she had learned under Pan Ning's influence.
Brother Qin told Xiang Huan at the dinner table that the next challenge of this job is coming.
Xiang Huan thought that he was going to be very busy and that Party A would be very strict in inspecting the goods and had to be extra careful, but he was completely wrong.
The reason why Brother Qin mentioned this challenge is that after it is put into production, Xiang Huan will need to go to the front line to guide workers for a period of time, and she will also need to make and demonstrate the prototypes in person.
Xiang Huan knew all this, but she still didn't see what the challenge was, so she had to wait in confusion for Brother Qin to give the answer.
Brother Qin's answer is that the company's processing plant this time is connected to the prison factory of Lincheng No. 1 Prison.
"Let me make it clearer, that is to say, when you go to the factory this time, you are going to directly face the prisoners who are serving their sentences." Brother Qin explained to Xiang Huan in detail.
Xiang Huan still remembers what was the first thing that came to her mind after hearing these words.
"Of course there will be guards following you inside, so there will be no danger, but those are male prisoners, so I must make it clear to you in advance." Brother Qin thought that Xiang Huan was stunned because he was scared, so he simply made it more specific.
If Xiang Huan doesn't want to, that's normal.
But he heard Xiang Huan reply that she was fine and could go to the factory at any time.
"Xiang Huan, you don't have to think too much. If you don't want to go, just say it and I can go in for you." Brother Qin didn't expect such a result and quickly pulled back.
But Xiang Huan said it was really okay.
She is not afraid of contact with those prisoners, treating it as a life experience, which is so rare.
In this way, three days of preparation time passed, and Xiang Huan followed Brother Qin to Lincheng No. 1 Prison, preparing to start working in the prison factory.
While she was waiting at the door for the prison guards to take her in, it started to rain heavily again.
Due to the special nature of the work place, Xiang Huan has learned some rules in advance these days. Brother Qin said that these must not go wrong.
If something goes wrong, it could be fatal.
One of the most important ones is that when entering the prison area, no matter how heavy it rains outside, your head cannot be covered when entering or exiting.
If violated
On the contrary, after three warnings, the sentry can directly shoot those who violate the regulations.
Because it rains almost every day in Lincheng, Brother Qin and the people from the prison factory repeatedly emphasized this point to Xiang Huan and remember to comply.
Therefore, when Xiang Huan entered the prison area, he was wearing a raincoat but no hat. Fortunately, the walk outside was not long and he did not get wet much.
But this special experience is enough for Xiang Huan to remember for a lifetime.
After passing through the iron gates one after another, Xiang Huan arrived at the entrance of the prison factory.
After completing the identity check, the prison guard returned the ID card to Xiang Huan, looked at the little girl who was not yet twenty years old, and asked her if she was scared.
Xiang Huan smiled and replied that he was not afraid.
The prison guard was a middle-aged uncle. After saying that my daughter was as old as you, he asked if the adults at home knew that you came to work in a place like this.
Xiang Huan really didn't tell Pan Ning about this. Coming to the prison factory was unexpected, and she was too busy making preparations to take it into consideration.
But she lied to the prison guard, saying that she had informed her mother and her family knew about it.
The prison guard uncle frowned, probably
I wonder what kind of parent would allow his daughter at such a young age to work in a prison factory where all male prisoners are employed.
Aren't you afraid of anything?
At 8:20 a.m., a new day in the prison factory officially begins.
Xiang Huan stood next to the prison guard uncle and looked through the iron fence to the side of the corridor, where a line of prisoners were walking over.
His heartbeat started to beat faster. Xiang Huan clenched his hands, and his palms were soon covered with sweat.
She knew that the answer to the possibility she was betting on was about to be revealed.
