Return to Singapore 1995

At this time, Ade, the leader of the test team of the day shift, that is, the first shift, had also arrived at work. He witnessed everything that had just happened. Not only did he look at Li Xiaofan with admiration, but he began to feel a little annoyed. How could he have been wrong in the first place? When Li Xiaofan first came here, he felt like a silly young man from mainland China, slow to respond and dull. He had to say many things several times before he could understand. At that time, the work tasks in the workshop were heavy, and he had no patience to teach this stupid boy... …

And now, he is going to start robbing people.

"Officer, if a talent like Afan is transferred to our team during the day shift, we are short of people in the first shift!" Ade walked to Lin Qianxue and whispered softly.

Oh shit, you actually stole someone from yourself? When Aaron, the leader of the third team next to him, heard this, a thousand straw horses rolled through his heart!

But on the surface, he can't have an attack. Counting that when Aaron first came to work in the testing workshop, he worked under Adelaide in the first shift, and he was considered half of Adelaide's apprentice.

Ade is a Singaporean and has been working at the Ximu Electronics Factory for almost ten years. His parents are old Chinese school students in Singapore. Old Chinese school students can’t make it in Singapore where English is the main working language, so their family background is not very good. There are many brothers and sisters in the family. They probably didn’t graduate from Form 4 and didn’t even take the O-level exams. Came out to work.

He also worked his way up from the lowest level as a fifth-level operator and is now a second-level technician and leader of the first shift in the test workshop.

The upgrade path from Level 5 Operator to Level 2 Technician is a long one. There are five levels from the fifth-level operator to the first-level operator. The first-level operator is promoted to the second-level assistant technician, the first-level assistant technician, and the first-level assistant technician is promoted to the second-level technician.

There are a full eight levels from the lowest level five operator to the second level technician. The upgrade design of the Japanese management is so clever that it gives you hope and hopes that you will work in this factory for the rest of your life.

Aaron didn't like this master Ade very much at first. Ade is very selfish and does not easily impart many important key technical know-hows to the workers in the workshop. He is adhering to the old concept of "teaching the apprentice and starving the master to death".

From now on, Aaron figured it all out on his own, and then studied the electronic engineering certificate course of ITE in his spare time before being appreciated by Lin Qianxue, and now he is working alone in the late-night class.

Aaron smiled and said to Ade: "Brother Ade, you can't steal people from me. You didn't want Afan at the beginning!"

Aaron's words were so poisonous that Ade's face became unnatural after hearing the words. Especially when he saw Li Xiaofan staring at him with a smile, he felt as if his face had been slapped by someone and became hot.

At this time, Li Xiaofan smiled and said to Lin Qianxue: "Officer, I am used to working the night shift, so let me continue to work on the second shift in the middle of the night..."

Lin Qianxue thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Li Xiaofan, starting tonight, you can work on the second shift in Axiang's testing workshop!"

"Okay, thank you Officer!"

Li Xiaofan had his own considerations in choosing to stay in the second shift:

First, in this way, he would not offend either Aaron or Ade, the two team leaders. In fact, he could still help Aaron. Because usually the overtime work of the second shift is placed in the third shift after twelve o'clock, which can just help Aaron. And this choice also gives Ade a step down. Especially in the future, I plan to sign up for the on-the-job electronic engineering certificate course of ITE of the Institute of Technical Education. If some study time conflicts with working time, I need to discuss with the team leaders of the three classes to change classes, so I can't offend my immediate boss easily.

Secondly, Ah Xiang, the leader of the second shift in the test workshop, and Aaron, the leader of the third shift, are both easy to talk to. They can freely choose their overtime hours in the future. He still misses the early morning exercise.

…

After such a mess in the morning, Li Xiaofan perfectly missed the morning bus back to Orchid Flower Village, so he had to take the bus back in front of the factory.

Back in Orchid Flower Village, after eating a bowl of fish head rice noodles at the market, when I returned to room 315 of the dormitory, the dormitory workers were sitting around the living room watching TV.

February around the Spring Festival is the coldest season in China, but it is still summer in Singapore.

There is a novel called No Winter in Singapore. Indeed, Singapore is close to the equator and has a tropical rainforest climate with long summer and no winter all year round. The temperature does not change much, there is sufficient rainfall, and the air humidity is high. In Li Xiaofan's impression, Singapore almost does not need weather forecasts. Generally, "the temperature is 25-32°C, and it sometimes rains in the afternoon" is definitely correct.

I don’t know why, but the weather was extremely hot that day. Everyone in the living room felt hot and uncomfortable even with the electric fan blowing on.

Li Xiaofan had just taken a shower when he heard someone in the girls' dormitory downstairs shouting: "Quick, quick, someone, help, Zhao Yanna has fainted!"

Li Xiaofan and his roommates rushed downstairs to the girls' dormitory 216.

When I entered room 216, it turned out that Zhao Yanna in room 216 had fainted from heat stroke.

Zhao Yanna is a newcomer who just came from China a few days ago. She has been feeling uncomfortable since boarding the plane at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. She was very nervous about going abroad for the first time and even got airsick on the plane.

After arriving in Singapore, I couldn't adapt to the factory and living environment in Singapore. I had insomnia for two consecutive nights and was very anxious. In addition, the weather was sultry today. I was sleeping in the room just now and wanted to go to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, I haven't left the room yet. , the person suddenly fell to the ground and fainted.

Li Xiaofan had some experience with heat stroke, and directed the girls, "Quick, quick, let's move her from the room to the living room. The room is too stuffy and the air is not well circulated. The living room is cooler and more ventilated!"

After everyone hurriedly lifted Zhao Yanna to the sofa in the living room, her roommate Liu Xiaoyue took out the spare Huoxiang Zhengqi water from the box and gave it to Zhao Yanna.

After taking the Huoxiang Zhengqi water, Zhao Yanna's face was still very pale and she felt weak all over.

Liu Xiaoyue worriedly said, "It seems that we have to contact the company's human resources department and send her to the hospital!"

This was the first time everyone encountered such an emergency, and everyone felt at a loss.

Li Xiaofan suggested, "Or I can try massaging a few acupuncture points on her feet first! I have learned some folk remedies before..."

"It's time, try it quickly!" Liu Xiaoyue said anxiously.

"Okay!"

After saying that, Li Xiaofan lifted Zhao Yanna's trouser legs and pressed several acupuncture points on her feet and hands, such as Zusanli, Dazhui, Quchi, Hegu, and Neiguan, along the direction of the meridians with his fingers, from light to heavy.

It looked quite good.

After a few minutes, Zhao Yanna's face gradually became rosy and her complexion improved a lot.

She opened her eyes and whispered: "Thank you, Xiaofan, I feel much better!"

Everyone felt very magical: "Damn, Xiaofan, you can also press acupuncture points?"

Li Xiaofan smiled: "Grandpa and uncle are barefoot doctors in the village. I learned a little acupuncture from them before. It may be effective for this common heatstroke!"
