A Junior Staffer's Daily Life of Gossip at the Sixth-Decade Machinery Plant's Security Office

Everyone at the machinery plant said Yun Lu, the Yun family's daughter, was a promising athlete on the provincial team who would win gold and silver medals. But then Yun Lu broke her leg during training, and both the gold and the silver slipped out of reach.

Some people worried about Yun Lu, while others waited to watch the drama unfold.

As for Yun Lu, other people's opinions meant nothing. Right now, she was worried about only two things. First, her family seemed to be side characters who were villains in a novel, and their ending wasn't going to be good. Second, she could no longer compete as an athlete after retiring, so what was she supposed to do for work?

She couldn't exactly go to the countryside, could she? She knew the difference: educated youth went to the countryside, while she was barely literate. To avoid making trouble for the locals, Yun Lu was determined to find herself a job.

And then a job landed right in her lap. The plant's security department was hiring a female clerk. She'd go! She had to! Whether Buddha or ghost stood in her way, she was going to pass the exam.

After Yun Lu really did become a clerk in the plant's security department, she never got to solve any major cases, but she got plenty of gossip. It was one thing when people came to them about stolen goods at the plant, but why did they get called in when a married couple was fighting? Still, you couldn't deny it: Yun Lu quite liked the job.
