Chapter 1099 I still need to trouble you with something

The two walked together toward the finance office. Chu Xue thought of Zhui Feng and said, "Du Juan, I need to trouble you with something."

Du Juan was feeling shy, but upon hearing Chu Xue's words, she quickly replied, "What is it, cousin?"

Chu Xue handed over a key to the house and repeated the address of the courtyard: "I'm going on a business trip and my return date is uncertain. I'll need you to feed Zhui Feng for me during this time. I'll park my bicycle in the side room when I get back tonight. You can ride it for a while, which will save you some trouble. Just feed it once a day. Change its water for me. I'll put the food in the kitchen. You can cook a pot for it using the wood-fired stove downstairs. That should be enough for it for a few days."

Hearing that her cousin would let her ride her bicycle, her eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Zhuifeng."

As they spoke, they arrived at the finance department. Chu Xue asked her to wait for her a moment a short distance outside the door, and she walked straight into the department.

Then he came out with a small glass bottle in his hand: "Keep this. It contains ginseng tonic water that I had someone prepare. Give it to my mother when she gives birth. If she encounters any special circumstances, she can take it to replenish her strength."

Du Juan reached out and took it: "Cousin, aren't you leaving tomorrow? Why didn't you deliver it to me personally?"

Chu Xue glanced outside: "I have to hand over my work to my colleagues this afternoon. Later, the factory leaders will hold another meeting for those of us who are leaving tomorrow. I don't know how late it will be. I need to go back and pack my luggage. It will disturb them if I go too late."

Du Juan looked at the things in her hand: "I understand. I'll take some time in the next few days to deliver them."

After finishing the business, Chu Xue brought up the blind date again: "Sister Jiang is not an outsider, so I believe the person she introduces to you is not bad. If you get along well, you might as well get to know them better."

Du Juan's face flushed again when her cousin mentioned Jiang Minghua again: "That person seems pretty good." Chu Xue laughed when she saw her like this: "Just because someone seems good doesn't mean you can be blindly optimistic. You two should get to know each other first, and then I'll investigate further when I get back from my business trip. Remember that? Don't agree to anything before I get back."

Even if Director Jiang is the matchmaker, she still needs to be carefully investigated. After all, she can't just look at appearances. Du Juan has already had a hard life, so she naturally wants to be more discerning about who she will rely on for the rest of her life.

Du Juan nodded shyly and whispered, "I understand."

Not long after Du Juan left, the people in the office returned one after another, and she then handed over her work to Sister Hong.

I had just finished telling Sister Hong about the work I needed to do but hadn't finished yet when I heard Officer Xu from the factory office running over: "Comrade Xiao, our Director Chen asked me to come and inform you that there will be a meeting in half an hour."

After the first snow fell, Xiao Xu, the clerk, ran off again.

Looking at my watch, it was almost four o'clock. Thinking that the meeting over there might not end until later, I packed up everything on my desk, locking the things I wasn't taking into the drawer. Then I walked up to Sister Hong's workstation and said, "Sister Hong, thank you for your hard work these past few days. Here is the key to my desk drawer."

Sister Hong didn't expect Chu Xue to trust her so much, and even left her the key to her desk: "Okay, since you trust me, I won't refuse. You can go and take care of the Canton Fair in peace."

Chu Xue smiled gratefully: "Then thank you, Sister Hong. I'll bring you some local specialties from Guangdong Province as a reward later."

Sister Hong laughed heartily, "Then I'll be waiting."
