Shen Meng greeted Yu Xueli before taking Wu Xianglan to the textile factory. The gatekeeper was familiar with her, especially after Director Hu Biao personally visited him the night before to instruct him to be very polite and let Shen Meng in when he sees her. Thus, he was incredibly warm when he greeted her, which greatly shocked Wu Xianglan.
"Elder sister-in-law, does this man know you?"
"Shh, it's because Mr. Hu has given him a heads up. He knew I was going to bring you here for work today, that's why he let us through. Don't sneak looks, when you look at someone do it openly and confidently, your peeking habit is a bit much."
Wu Xianglan was somewhat embarrassed. She didn't want to behave like that; she was just afraid of being judged by the people of the county.
