At the brigade headquarters, Lin Xiang dialed back the phone number of the cotton spinning factory.
Director Chen was probably waiting by the phone, as he picked up as soon as it rang, "Comrade Lin Xiang, are you available to come to the cotton spinning factory today?"
Lin Xiang looked down at her right leg and smiled wryly, "Director Chen, I'm afraid it might be a bit inconvenient for me today."
The brigade leader, who had been "eavesdropping" on Lin Xiang's conversation, kept winking at her when he heard her say it was inconvenient.
Lin Xiang pretended not to see, "I got a bit injured yesterday, hurt my leg, and can't walk right now."
Hearing that Lin Xiang was injured, Director Chen immediately expressed concern, "How did you get injured? Is it serious? Why didn't you go to the hospital right away?"
Lin Xiang didn't directly answer Director Chen's question, "Director Chen, is there anything you need me to do?"
