1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 1090: Business Trip Mission

I'm so tired these past few days. I slept through the night during the first snowfall.

The next day at work, I first distributed candy to my colleagues.

Sister Hong took the candy and whispered, "Chu Xue, there's a business trip to the south these next few days, and it might fall to you. You should be prepared."

Thinking about my own space, I never expected such a surprise on my first day at work: "Why did this happen to me?"

Sister Hong put the peeled candy into her mouth: "There's a Canton Fair later this month. The only two people in the factory office who speak foreign languages ​​are in trouble. One of them went to pick up his wife a few nights ago and fell into a ditch. He injured his leg. Although it wasn't broken, it was fractured. He can't come to work for a while. The other one is a relative. He can speak basic spoken English, but he can't speak anything more advanced."

She leaned close to Chuxue's ear and said, "I went to the factory office yesterday and overheard their conversation."

Chu Xue had originally planned to go to the south, but the opportunity came unexpectedly. She grabbed a few more candies and stuffed them into Sister Hong's hand, saying, "Thanks, Sister."

Wan Xiaohui saw Chu Xue come to her desk and said, "Oh, your skin looks even smoother now that you've gotten married."

As soon as she said that, the married men in the room exchanged glances and all burst into laughter.

Cui Haiqing, speaking from experience, said, "If you want to know why, just find someone to marry and you'll find out."

His words were met with laughter in the office, leaving Wan Xiaohui somewhat bewildered.

Just as they were chatting and laughing, Xu, the factory office clerk, walked in: "Oh, your office is really lively. I could hear your laughter as soon as I came upstairs."

Section Chief Li came out with a cup in his hand: "Officer Xu, is there something you need?"

Officer Xu smiled and pointed at Chu Xue: "The factory office needs Accountant Xiao's help with something. Our director asked Section Chief Li to take Accountant Xiao over there."

Section Chief Li was a shrewd man. Recalling the rumors he had heard a few days ago, he quickly guessed why the factory office wanted to see Chu Xue. He looked at Chu Xue and said, "Alright, take your wedding candy and I'll go with you."

With Sister Hong's reminder, Chu Xue felt more at ease, but she still pretended not to know and asked, "Director Xu, what does the factory office want with me?"

Officer Xu laughed: "You'll find out when you get there."

When the three of them arrived, the large office room in the factory office was not only filled with factory staff, but also with factory leaders.

When Director Chen from the factory office saw them arrive, he immediately beamed and said, "Come in quickly."

Although she wasn't very familiar with the factory leaders, she had met them a few times before. Chu Xue wasn't flustered at all when she came in; in fact, she was somewhat excited, since she had always wanted to go south to replenish the species in the space.

He greeted everyone in the room in a generous and open manner, saying, "Hello, leaders."

As soon as she finished speaking, Section Chief Li smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. Today is the first day back to work after the first snowfall. It's a good opportunity to give some wedding candies to all the leaders to sweeten their mouths."

Deputy Factory Director Gu naturally knew about this, and even had his daughter-in-law send a congratulatory gift in advance—a bed sheet brought back from Shanghai. This gift was quite generous: "That's wonderful, it'll allow us to share in the joy."

Fortunately, Chu Xue had a way to cheat. When she left the office, she deliberately used a cloth bag as a cover and took out some fruit candies from the space.

Not many candies were given out. Director Yang personally stated that the wedding was over and no more gifts could be given. However, the factory leaders present did contribute quite a few votes.

This made Chu Xue look quite embarrassed.
