Chapter 3
3 . Scum Dad Who Isn’t Scum (3)
After finding the canteen with Panpan, he saw that she was nervous and stiff . Wei Mingyan smiled and said gently, “You eat slowly, I am going over there . ”
“All right, thank you, Chief Wei . ”
Looking at the handsome man walking to the other side, he responded with a smile when someone said hello to him along the way . Panpan only felt that she had met ‘the jade-like gentleman’ from the novels for the first time .
(the jade-like gentleman / 君子如玉 = modest, warm, beautiful, morally-culturally- scholarly cultivated, good character etc etc . the perfect man )
Wei Mingyan is really a very attractive man . His charm is not only reflected in his handsome appearance and tall and slender figure, but also in his words and deeds, the elegance that seems to be revealed from his bones .
Panpan is very fond of her boss at the moment . Especially after knowing that he was the one who instructed Zhang-jie to teach her .
She looked around and saw people queuing in order at every window . She hurried over and just stood up . Someone behind her called her .
“Panpan, what a coincidence!” It’s Lu Lin .
They had planned to meet at the table together, but they met in line . Qiao Panpan was also surprised to see that Lu Lin was still had a sunny smile, so she knew that Lu Lin had a good internship .
“I tell you, I asked my predecessors about it . The best taste in this dining hall is the window we are standing at now . So I came here especially . I didn’t expect you were there!”
Lu Lin is still chattering as usual . Qiao Panpan echos her from time to time . The two girls happily came to the window .
Beside the sterilizing cabinet, Qiao Wan took out the bowls and chopsticks and handed them to the canteen aunt . Before she could ask how much, the dining room aunt quickly filled her bowl and shouted back, “Next . ”
“I haven’t paid yet…”
The aunt turned and looked at the girl’s young face, revealing a kind smile, “Did you started interning today? We don’t accept money in the canteen, it’s free . ”
Free?
Qiao Panpan stood there in confusion and looked back at the seated staff and looked down at the plated mix of meat and vegetables in her hands .

How much does it cost?
Lu Lin walked out with the dish, saw that she was still standing still, took her to sit down, ate a mouthful of rice contentedly, and happily explained, “Nanya has always taken care of their people . Since the establishment of the company, Chief Wei built a vegetable garden . The vegetables there are all green and pollution-free, and they specially provide for the canteen . It is said that some people outside want to buy the vegetables but can’t!”
At this point, she took another bite and inarticulately said as she chewed, “Food and shelter, high salary, good treatment to employees, and the boss always gives welfare benefits . That’s why everyone is desperate to come to Nanya . Panpan, let’s do a good job, until we finish school, strive to come back here . Not mentioning anything else, just these green non-polluted vegetables, are worth it!”
“And, although the dormitory is small, it has good sound insulation . It’s said that there are security guards and various safety facilities . It’s especially safe . If we come here later, how much will we save?”
Panpan had never thought that there would be such a good company . She was holding chopsticks in her hands and looking at the dishes on the plate . She was more determined . She had to come to Nanya to work after she finished school .
When she thought of her superior, Qiao Panpan admired him even more . “Chief Wei is really a good man, even the staff dormitory is so considerate . ”
“Um! I know that too!”
Lu Lin was eating without raising her head . She wiped her mouth and began to gossip when she heard her friend’s words . “They say that Chief Wei use to have a wife and daughter, but their house caught fire . Because the house was too rough and shoddy, they didn’t survive . So he paid so much attention to the safety of the dormitory!”
“I heard that the fountain nearby was built to pump water for rescue if a fire broke out, I don’t know whether it’s true or not . Anyway, the company has opened several branches and many construction sites . There has been no accident for so many years . ”

Panpan was a little distracted to listen .
The reason why Panpan and her mother moved at the beginning was that there was a fire in the family home . It was very difficult for her mother to bring her along . The fire left a big hole in their family’s finances . Her mother was angry and sick and almost did not survive .
Qiao Panpan was still young at that time . She could only clench her teeth and listen to her mother who was lying on a hospital bed . She sold the land to Second Uncle, who had been pestering her mother, and left the small mountain village with that pitifully small amount of money .
(TL Note: Er Lai Zi/ Second Uncle – Meaning Second Child/ also meaning Lazy Bum . I guess this meant both? Will make sense in later chapters . )
Therefore, she has always been very afraid of fire . She always uses fire very carefully . Now when she heard that the dormitory fire prevention is well done, her yearning for Nanya got stronger .
Her eyes were bright and full of expectations for the future . “Lu Lin, let’s work hard together and come back together when we finish school . ”
“Okay!” Lu Lin nodded with ambition, followed by, “Panpan eat faster, its really delicious!”
With a high monthly salary, food and shelter, safety and security, Qiao Panpan was full of fighting spirit when she thought that she could possibly work in such a company in the future .
While trying to absorb the knowledge taught by her predecessors, she took care of Wei Mingyan conscientiously according to the notes left by Assistant Liu .

She didn’t know until she really got started that this gentle man; who seems to know everything, hardly takes care of himself .
He will deal with tens of millions of contracts with confidence . He can set up a nine-figure business deal between talking and laughing, but he forgets to eat and rest .
Sometimes Panpan feels that Wei Mingyan regarded himself as a spinning top . He could work without rest and didn’t care whether he would topple or not .
As a personal assistant, Qiao Panpan could only remind and help Wei Mingyan to live a normal life according to what the notes said .
On the 16th, Qiao Panpan looked at the notes [the death anniversary of wife and daughter of Chief Wei, visiting their graves] . After a few seconds of silence, she knocked on the door of his office .
The man who used to work hard every time she came in has already changed his clothes and is cutting the spikes on the roses with his own hands, one by one, in a beautiful vase .
When Panpan came in, the handsome boss put aside his sadness and smiled gently at her as usual . “Let’s go, they should miss me . ”
It’s clearly said with a smile, but it made a person’s heart grieve .
