One day I had a challenge at our factory. The factory owner’s working attitude was not cooperative and he couldn’t follow my instructions at all. I felt like there was nothing I could do and felt disappointed, so I made a post on WeChat, saying that I had a very blue day. Then, during lunch time my friend dropped by my company and invited me for lunch. She told me she had seen my post on WeChat and, as she had something to do nearby, she thought she could come by and have lunch with me, which I thought was very heartwarming.
