Having achieved financial freedom, I reorganized my workplace.

Chapter 49 A Happy Ending

Lin Chen hadn't gone far when he heard hurried footsteps behind him, accompanied by slightly rapid breathing.

"Lin Chen, wait a minute!"

He turned around and saw Chen Ya jogging after him. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her cheeks, flushed from running, looked particularly vivid in the sunlight. Her full breasts rose and fell with her breath, outlining a vibrant curve.

When she reached Lin Chen, she was slightly out of breath and handed him the red envelope.

"Director Liu asked me to give this to you as a token of my appreciation for your help." Chen Ya's eyes flickered, and her voice carried a hint of hesitation that was barely perceptible.

Lin Chen glanced at the red envelope and thought that Director Liu was quite generous, but he had no reason to accept it: "I don't want this money, I'm afraid it will burn my hands."

Chen Ya pouted and said, "If you don't take it, Director Liu will overthink things and feel uneasy."

"Are you afraid I'll report you?" Lin Chen scoffed, his tone disdainful. "I'm not that free." His gaze fell on Chen Ya's delicate yet weary face, his tone softening slightly, now probing: "You... often do this kind of thing for him?"

"It's happened a few times." Chen Ya's voice lowered, and a blush of embarrassment rose on her cheeks.

"Why?" Lin Chen stared at her, his tone not blaming, but more puzzled. "You, Chen Ya, are quite the star of the office now."

This question seemed to touch a taut string in Chen Ya's heart, and her emotions instantly began to overflow: "Why? For money, what else?"

Her voice choked with sobs: "Do you think everyone is like you, able to live on ideals alone? I'm just a woman, how can I live here on that meager salary? How can I buy a little place of my own in Yujing Manor?"

Lin Chen said in a deep voice, "I can understand making money, but how can you tolerate him treating you like a vase, using your...your...beauty to sell those deceptive things?"

"Actually, I didn't want to either," Chen Ya said, her voice nasal.

"If you don't want to, then don't do it."

"Director Liu is my superior. How could I possibly have the confidence to say 'no'? Lin Chen, for me, survival is sometimes more important than persisting in anything." Chen Ya actually had another question in mind: "If I don't work, will you support me?" But she didn't say it aloud.

"Are you that eager for success?"

"I just hope I won't regret it later."

"Then I hope you won't regret it." Lin Chen said, then turned and left, walking slowly along the sidewalk.

He understood the helplessness in her words. In this complex society and workplace, everyone wears different masks to survive, and it is even more difficult for a girl. There is no right or wrong in this, it's just that Lin Chen doesn't quite agree with it.

Chen Ya watched Lin Chen's retreating figure, feeling that this man was getting further and further away from her. However, in her opinion, people were worth what they were worth, and money was worth what they were worth. This was the rule of the game, and she didn't find it shameful.

He offended both the director and deputy director of the department at once.

Lin Chen thought things would be tough, and he even planned to go back to the water supply center and make a big splash, but it seems things weren't like that at all. The two directors seemed to be treating him even more politely.

He had just run into them on the stairs and they even smiled at him. They didn't assign him any work at the department meeting. Lin Chen was increasingly unable to understand what these people were thinking.

It seems that standing up for yourself is quite necessary; perhaps then others won't dare to treat you like a pushover.

In the restroom, Liu Xingyu, still wet from urinating, leaned over and said, "Lin Chen, you left so quickly that day, you might have misunderstood. Actually, our ultimate goal was to promote the company."

Haha, Lin Chen isn't stupid. This is all for promoting the company, and the money's going into your pocket. But there's no need for him to make things too ugly: "I understand. Chen Ya told me everything."

Liu Xingyu smiled slightly, relieved: "I didn't know you didn't like it. I won't call you next time."

Lin Chen thought to himself: You still dare to call me?

And that was the end of it.

Today was a heavy day.

A serious accident involving toxic gas poisoning occurred in XX City, resulting in 2 deaths and 5 injuries.

Quanxinhai Company was plunged into grief.

Of course, it's hard to say exactly how many people died, but the report says 2 people died, rarely more than 3, everyone understands.

Chairman Tang of the provincial company was very nervous and attached great importance to the incident. He immediately convened a province-wide meeting, requiring all companies in the province to suspend operations for three days for rectification and study. At the same time, he also conducted an in-depth analysis of the cause of the accident and took measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The alarm bells must continue to ring; this is a lesson learned in blood and tears.

The accident report stated that when laying underground pipelines, XX City made full preparations, completed all safety procedures, including ventilation tests, toxic gas monitoring, and brought oxygen cylinders. When the personnel went down, they were all in high spirits.

Unfortunately, the toxic gas monitoring instrument malfunctioned, and no one noticed anything unusual in the air. When the poisoning was discovered, the oxygen cylinder could not be opened, leading to the tragedy.

This kind of report looks very official; it's written by people who have worked their way up from the bottom and know that if they do their homework, the probability of something going wrong is almost zero. But who can do all that homework?

This report was probably revised and negotiated many times before it was finally released. Of course, the reports that are released are those that others are willing to let you see.

The company studied the fake report seriously for three days and summarized eight lessons, each of which was unforgettable.

It's nothing. You can ask Lin Chen to summarize eighteen points, it'll all be the same few: "Insufficient safety awareness," "Inadequate safety risk management," "Insufficient skill level of workers," etc.

After completing the training, Director Song assigned Lin Chen an important task: to immediately write an emergency response plan for toxic gas poisoning in confined space operations based on this accident, and then organize personnel to conduct on-site drills.

Lin Chen didn't know why Director Song always liked to assign him tasks; perhaps he had a "bias" against him.

Since safety was a concern, Lin Chen didn't dare to be negligent. He carefully reviewed the relevant materials and consulted various solutions before finally producing a detailed emergency response plan for toxic gas poisoning in confined space operations.

After finishing writing, Lin Chen showed it to Tang Xin. Tang Xin flipped through two pages and said it was good. Then she showed it to Director Tan. Director Tan flipped through one page and said it was very good. Then she showed it to Director Song. Director Song didn't even look at it and just told Lin Chen to implement it.

Lin Chen was impressed by the high efficiency of the leaders and looked forward to the on-site drill the next day.

The next day, the safety drill was originally planned to be held at an underground work site in the suburbs, but the leader said it was too far and troublesome, so it was changed to an underground parking lot. Understandably, an underground parking garage is also considered an underground operation, and the scenario is similar.

According to the emergency plan, people should work first, then someone gets poisoned, and then rescue, self-rescue, and evacuation should be carried out. However, everyone felt that this was too time-consuming and unnecessary, so they did not follow the plan.

Lin Chen didn't care.

Lin Chen had to urge those office workers for a long time before they finally came down. After they came down, they casually fiddled with the toxic gas detector, touched their gas masks, recited a few lines, took out a banner to take a picture together, and then dispersed.

The whole process took less than ten minutes and was very relaxed and enjoyable. After the rehearsal, Lin Chen was certain that if something really happened, they wouldn't even know how to wear gas masks.

Lin Chen also saved himself trouble.

Not long after returning to his office, Lin Chen saw a new news item about the Suixian branch on the company portal.

The manuscript was written by Chen Ya.

News headline: [Learning about safety and emphasizing safety through accident drills].

Content: "In order to strengthen the safety management of confined spaces and further implement safety risk control, Suicheng Company conducted a serious and vivid safety drill for confined space operations in accordance with the company's requirements... In this drill, every employee of the company participated wholeheartedly and devoted themselves wholeheartedly, achieving excellent results."

The next day, the article was published on the provincial company's website and received a good number of clicks. General Manager Fan of the municipal company held a meeting to praise the Suixian company, saying that it had a high level of ideological awareness and acted quickly and effectively.

Director Song was all smiles during the meeting.

Lin Chen was praised, and it was said that the proposal was well written.

Chen Ya was also praised, with many saying the manuscript was well-written.

He also praised everyone, saying they cooperated very well.

All are happy.
