Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 942: Chapter 942: Working as Security Guards

"If you really want to look, I could ask around for you." Tang Yue said, indeed there were many unmarried girls in the factory. Maybe some girls would fancy Li Wei and Yan Dong?

Although Li Wei wasn’t as eloquent as Zhao Xiangqian, he looked honest and upright.

Yan Dong’s eyes were a little small, and he wore glasses, but he had a scholarly air.

"Then we’ll thank little sister-in-law in advance." Li Wei said happily.

Yan Dong felt the same way, anyone who didn’t know might think Tang Yue had successfully set them up with someone.

Tang Yue rubbed her nose. She didn’t like matchmaking for others at all. Marriage wasn’t as beautiful as imagined. When love returns to ordinariness, to a life of mundane tasks, there’s always some friction. If it’s someone who likes to complain, they might even blame the matchmaker.

"Don’t." Tang Yue was just about to say something, but her phone rang. It was Tang Mingli calling.

"Uncle."

Tang Yue asked curiously, "Uncle, how come you have time to call?"

"Xiao Yue, isn’t it nearing the end of the year? There’s been a thief in our factory." Tang Mingli said helplessly.

Tang Yue widened her eyes in surprise and asked, "Isn’t there always someone patrolling? How did a thief get in?"

"Who knows, I’ve already reported it, but I was thinking maybe we should hire more security to patrol? Not just to prevent theft, but with so many people in the dormitories, if someone sneaked into the girls’ dorm, it would be a big problem." Tang Mingli had been thinking thoroughly, growing more fearful the more he thought about it.

This time, some finished garments were stolen. If the thief is caught, it would naturally be great, but if not, then it’s a loss we’ll have to tolerate.

But after careful consideration, Tang Mingli thought about how the girls’ and boys’ dorms were separated. Previously, Qi Song had hired a few skilled people as security, managing safety during the day while others took the night shifts.

After this theft incident, Tang Mingli felt regular people weren’t quite up to being security guards.

"Uncle, doesn’t Brother Qi know anyone?" Tang Yue inquired. Qi Song used to run a martial arts school and could surely contact quite a few skilled former members.

"No more." Tang Mingli shook his head and said, "Qi Song already brought over quite a few people. Besides a few in Wangjiang County, only two were willing to come to Jing City. So, I thought of you. Your husband Meng Siyu surely knows many skillful people. I plan to hire a few more, rotating with three shifts. That should prevent such things from happening again."

"Alright, when Siyu comes back tonight, I’ll talk to him about it." Tang Yue replied, suddenly glancing toward the living room where Yan Dong and Li Wei were. Tang Yue’s eyes gleamed with an idea as she asked, "Uncle, there’s no work these days, right? How about I arrange for two people to help you for a few days?"

"Sure." Tang Mingli couldn’t be happier about it. In such a large factory, good security needs to be ensured. Otherwise, no matter how good business is, any incident could negatively impact it.

After hanging up, Tang Yue asked, "How many days off do you have left?"

Yan Dong and Li Wei held up five fingers. Tang Yue nodded and said, "Alright, you can spend a few days working as security at the factory. Can you handle it?"

"We can."

Yan Dong and Li Wei exchanged a glance, seeing the joy in each other’s eyes.

Seeing Zhao Xiangqian proudly boasting every time, they also wanted to find wives but didn’t want to marry someone they didn’t like. Now there was a chance to meet more girls, so they were naturally happy and repeatedly thanked Tang Yue.

Tang Yue quickly said, "No need to rush to thank me. Having you work as security isn’t for you to find dates. My uncle’s factory just had a thief, who stole quite a few finished garments, so you have to..."

"Don’t worry, little sister-in-law. With us around, we ensure no petty thieves will dare to come." Li Wei promised, standing at attention.

Yan Dong added, "Even if a thief comes, we ensure they’ll come and never leave."

Watching them so excited, Tang Yue didn’t say much more, just reminding them not to bother the female workers in the factory. Li Wei couldn’t help but say, "Little sister-in-law, we’re good people. Why would we do such things?"

Tang Yue chuckled, rubbing her nose. Wasn’t it just because they seemed eager to pick any random girl in the factory to marry?

Tang Yue dropped them off at Tang Mingli’s factory, specifically asking which clothes were missing to take note of them.

The finished garments weren’t worth much. Tang Yue made a point to check the sample room. No clothes seemed missing from the sample room, although the workbench was a mess, likely due to someone searching for blueprints.

But the person didn’t realize that blueprints wouldn’t be left in the sample room. Whoever makes the clothes is responsible for safeguarding the blueprints. Even in the material cutting room, the blueprints aren’t complete. They only have diagrams for the parts being cut, which are later put together.

Sun Qing took the blueprints home every day. What was left here were just some useless papers.

Deng Lanhua rented a house and went daily to Tang Yue’s studio or the factory’s design sample room. She also looked at the blueprints but mostly Sun Qing kept them.

"Sun Qing and Sister Deng, you both did a great job. Moving forward, design blueprints indeed need to be well-protected." Tang Yue praised them, acknowledging the need to put serious thought into preserving design manuscripts. Especially new designs not yet on the market need to be well-kept.

Today’s event was also a wake-up call for them. Tang Yue said, "Regarding the blueprints from now on..."

Tang Yue found herself in a bit of a dilemma. Since someone had targeted the blueprints, they indeed needed to be well-protected. Otherwise, before they finished their work, others might have already made and sold it. What would they sell then?

"Xiao Yue, how about I take the blueprints home every day?" Tang Mingli suggested.

"Uncle, you’re not at the factory every day. Besides, when the factory needs the blueprints, it wouldn’t do to not have them available." Tang Yue instinctively countered. Although having Tang Mingli take them was safer than a young girl like Sun Qing, in truth, taking blueprints home was inconvenient.

Tang Yue’s eyes scanned the sample room, recalling secret rooms from ancient times or safes from later eras. Important blueprints or contracts needed a dedicated storage place as well.

The factory’s blueprints were increasing in number. Previously produced blueprints were stored in cardboard boxes, a practice building up over the years, which also posed a problem.

"Uncle, I think maybe we should plan for a blueprints room. For instance, sealing all blueprints inside, categorized by year and month. Otherwise, with time, we might not even find our blueprints." The more Tang Yue spoke, the more she felt it was a good idea.
