The spring hunt lasted seven days, and with two more for travel, Zhao Jun had been away from Logging Camp 79 for a full nine days. A lot of logs had piled up in his absence.
Zhao Jun worked diligently all morning. It wasn't just his job—it was tied to the hard-earned wages of the contract loggers and the Gui Ling workers. He had to take it seriously.
After lunch in the Leader's shack, Zhao Jun didn't even take a break, grabbing his tools and heading straight for the Log Pile Yard.
This moved the Leader, Yin Bing, so much that he insisted on writing a letter of commendation to the Forest Farm. He wanted to praise Zhao Jun for his tireless dedication, forgoing his precious lunch break to serve the workers.
But Zhao Jun stopped him, despite his good intentions.
'Is he kidding?'
'What kind of dedicated worker just takes nine days off?'
