Chapter 1092 Going on a Business Trip to the Canton Fair
After Section Chief Li finished speaking, she first scanned everyone in the office. Just as she was about to speak, Sister Hong spoke up: "Section Chief, my mother-in-law's health has been relatively stable recently. In addition, it was the first snow, which was lucky. My sister-in-law just came back from the Northwest to visit relatives yesterday and can stay at home for less than a month. I am more familiar with her work than the other colleagues, so I will take over."

The section chief originally wanted Wan Xiaohui or Wang Minmin, two young people, to take over, but since Sister Hong has said so, it would be perfect.

The reason why Sister Hong took over was indeed because her sister-in-law came back to visit relatives, and she wasn't so busy during this period. Also, she didn't want to have to redo everything when Chu Xue came back. In fact, Wan Xiaohui and Wang Minmin often made mistakes in their own work, and she didn't want to work with the two of them. She was afraid that she would have a heart attack prematurely.

Chu Xue looked at Sister Hong gratefully, and after the section chief left, she leaned closer to Sister Hong and whispered, "Sister Hong, thank you. I'll bring you some specialties from Guangdong Province when I come back."

Sister Hong wasn't one to mince words: "That's great."

Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Wan Xiaohui said sourly, "It's good to be capable; you really do encounter good things everywhere."

Chu Xue wasn't going to put up with her: "You know it's good to be capable, so why don't you hurry up and work hard? Instead of wasting your time being a two-faced person, you should improve your professional skills."

Wan Xiaohui was furious that Chu Xue would directly confront her, and said with a red face and thick neck, "Stop being so smug. What kind of place is the Canton Fair? Even if you get the chance to go, do you know that you can definitely handle it?"

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Li came out of the small office inside and said, "Wan Xiaohui, what are you saying? Are you dissatisfied with the factory leaders' decision, or do you think you are more capable and competent than Chu Xue for the translation work at this Canton Fair?"

Wan Xiaohui never expected that Section Chief Li would stand up for Chu Xue: "Section Chief, I, I didn't mean that, I just said it casually."

Section Chief Li's face was terribly grim: "How ignorant must you be to say something like that so casually? If this gets out, aren't you afraid people will misunderstand and think you're not interested in the factory?"

These words startled Wan Xiaohui, who waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Section Chief, I didn't mean it. I was just a little jealous. I really didn't mean it that way."

If it weren't for the fact that her father had worked diligently before, someone as unambitious as Wan Xiaohui would have been kicked out of the department long ago. She's not ambitious herself, and she doesn't want others to be ambitious either. She's always making sarcastic remarks, and she's almost squandered the little bit of goodwill her father left behind.

Wan Xiaohui wanted to say something more, but Section Chief Li raised his hand to stop her: "Whether you have it or not, this is an office. Don't bring your personal emotions into the office."

This was the first time the section chief had shown no mercy to Wan Xiaohui in front of everyone in the office. Apart from Wan Xiaohui being unhappy, the others felt a sense of relief, as if the section chief had finally lost his temper and taken action to teach them a lesson, finally giving them some peace and quiet.

Knowing she was going on a business trip, Chu Xue borrowed the office phone to call Xiao's father's workplace.

When the call came back: "Chu Xue, why did you call? Did something happen?"

Chu Xue realized that he must have run over: "Dad, don't worry, nothing happened. I just called to let you know that I'm going to Guangdong Province on a business trip in three days. I need to hand over some work at the office and coordinate with my colleagues who are going on the trip, so I won't have time to come home. Please tell them for me."
