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

Chapter 1209 They couldn't control them
After the two finished discussing business, Xu Changhai ran to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for his wife. When the noodles were done, he threw a handful of spinach into the pot, and then added some chili sauce and pickled vegetables he had made a few days ago: "Wife, here's your noodles. Luckily you made chili sauce before, otherwise you would probably only be able to eat pickled vegetables with noodles today."

Section Chief Li laughed and said, "At worst, I'll just go to my parents' place for a free meal."

As Xu Changhai watched his wife eat, he suddenly said, "That girl under you is quite something. She quietly changed jobs. When your factory manager finds out, he'll either be kicking himself or furious."

Upon hearing this, Section Chief Li's expression turned somewhat grave, and he swallowed the noodles in his mouth: "Although Qin Ruoyun was behind this, the factory office wouldn't have come to deliver the secondment order without his permission. As a member of the factory, I tried to persuade them, but no one listened, so I could only go with the flow."

What she didn't know was that in the days that followed, she kept regretting that she should have persuaded Chuxue more properly back then, or gone to the factory director again to persuade him to retract his decision and prioritize the collective interests of the factory. Of course, that's all in the future.

Xu Changhai poured his wife a glass of water: "You're just a finance department head, how can you even manage the factory manager? Even without this job change, that girl would rather sell her job than leave."

Section Chief Li sighed: "A capable person will shine wherever they go, why should they suffer indignities here?"

After saying that, he added, "Moreover, Xiao Fu's rank is what it is, and he sent his wife to join the army a long time ago. He has a way out, and they can't control him."

After eating and cleaning up, the two didn't linger at home and hurriedly returned to the factory.

As soon as Xu Changhai arrived at the factory, he went to see the factory director. He didn't mention what had happened at the steel rolling mill, but only said that he would help the director solve his problems.

Upon hearing this good news, the factory manager said, "Section Chief Xu, I owe you a favor. I'm sorry to have troubled you. When can we process the paperwork?"

Xu Changhai knew the factory director was anxious, as his youngest son would have to go to the countryside if he didn't find a job soon: "The earliest it will be next week. It depends on what position we can arrange here. If they are satisfied, then this is definitely a done deal."

The factory director was relieved: "As you know, there's only one position each in the publicity department and the accounting department right now, and countless people are eyeing them. If it weren't for Vice Director Qian and me keeping a close eye on things, they would have been divided up long ago." After saying that, he asked again: "Can't it be any faster?"

Xu Changhai could tell that the factory director wanted to finalize the matter as soon as possible: "Factory director, they need to rest for four days before they can come back."

The factory manager realized he had been asking too much of a question: "I'm sorry, brother, I was too impatient. I'll have to trouble you to take care of this. I'll treat you to a drink once it's done."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xu Changhai left satisfied.

Meanwhile, Fu Yancheng and Chu Xue finished lunch at the Xiao family's house and prepared to leave.

Chunxiao kept staring at Chuxue's dress: "Second sister, did you buy this dress in the south?"

Chu Xue gave a perfunctory reply: "Yes."

She has completely given up on this younger sister. She has no obligation to waste time trying to change someone who doesn't know how to be grateful. She has done everything she could. It's better to respect other people's fate.

Chunxiao looked at Chuxue's indifferent attitude and said, "Second sister, what kind of attitude is this?"

Chu Xue looked up at her and said, "What's wrong with my attitude? You're asking for too much. I'm not eating or drinking your food. What kind of attitude do you want from me?"
