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

Chapter 1161 People like you don't deserve to work
The fact that Chu Xue brought up the terminology comparison table now is clearly intentional.

She hadn't mentioned it before because she didn't want to upset everyone, but that didn't mean she was going to let Wan Qing off the hook. She had already heard the footsteps outside the door, so naturally she had to let everyone know about it.

Wan Qing was genuinely frightened. She racked her brains for various excuses: "I promise I'll never have any more wicked thoughts. Please let me go. Besides, if you really call the police, our whole team will lose face. Even if you don't want to give me face, you should at least consider the feelings of Captain Zhou and the others. We've successfully completed the mission this time, and you don't want any flaws, do you?"

However, the doors in the room now don't have the same locks as in later generations, so there was no bolt in Chuxue's room.

After hearing the conversation inside, Captain Zhou didn't knock and just pushed the door open and walked in: "Wan Qing, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. When we get back to Beijing, I will definitely report what you did without hiding anything. Chu Xue is right, someone like you doesn't deserve to work."

Wan Qing couldn't stand up any longer and collapsed to the ground: "Captain, I didn't mean it. I really didn't think that much about it. Please give me another chance. If I really lose my job, my family will not forgive me."

Captain Zhou looked at Chu Xue: "You should have told me about this beforehand. If I had known she was up to no good, I would have had the factory replace her long ago."

Meanwhile, the others outside were also discussing, "Chu Xue was trying to give her a chance, but this person is not only ungrateful, but also tries to harm her at every turn. Her character is really terrible."

"That's right. She hasn't even been able to do her job properly this past month. If it weren't for Officer Xu helping her, who knows how many mistakes she would have made."

Xu, the clerk, initially thought that it was inevitable that the young girl would lack experience since it was her first time participating in the Canton Fair. In addition, Wan Qing was good at acting cute, which was exactly what he, a grown man, was susceptible to. However, he did not expect that the boomerang would hit him instead, and his expression immediately turned ugly.

Today is the last day in Guangzhou, and Chu Xue didn't want this to affect everyone's plans: "Team Leader Zhou, we can deal with this when we get back. Don't delay everyone's plans for today, since we're going back to Beijing tomorrow."

Captain Zhou understood this was true: "You're right. Everyone must be careful when going out, and try to come back as early as possible this afternoon."

Chu Xue ignored Wan Qing and said, "I brought back some dried seafood. Does anyone want some?"

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this.

Mi Aijun laughed and said, "We were just saying we'd see if we could find a place to buy some today. We originally wanted to buy some at the Canton Fair, but we were too busy to do so. Now that's great, at least we won't go back empty-handed."

Chu Xue smiled and said, "Alright, let's divide up the dried seafood first. If there's not enough, you'll know what to expect. I also brought some fresh seafood. I thought it wasn't easy for everyone to come all this way, and we can't bring it back to Beijing in this weather. Let's ask the chef at the guesthouse kitchen to cook it for us so we can have a taste. This is on me."

Upon hearing this, Captain Zhou said, "You've come all this way, how can we let you spend money? We'll cover it from our food allowance. That's settled then."

Thinking of the good things, everyone deliberately downplayed the unpleasantness from earlier.

Hearing from Chu Xue that the items were on the first floor, everyone went downstairs together, leaving Wan Qing alone sitting on the ground with empty, lifeless eyes, her mind constantly replaying the thought: she had sacrificed her work to help Qin Ruoyun.
