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

Chapter 1317 Stopped Halfway
The group returned to the city, but Chu Xue and Fu Yancheng did not go back to the Xiao family with them.

Seeing that they were about to return to their unit, Chunxiao didn't forget to say to Fu Yancheng, "Second brother-in-law, remember to borrow a military uniform for me."

Fearing that Fu Yancheng would be unhappy, she quickly said, "Well, I promise I won't cause any trouble for my older sister. Let them take it home and fix it themselves. I'll definitely return the clothes to you in perfect condition."

Fu Yancheng didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly in response.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk to her, but he genuinely thought his sister-in-law was a bit too stupid.

Instead of clinging to her powerful second sister, she keeps coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas. And what guarantee does she have that the borrowed clothes will be intact? I just don't want to argue with her. Of course, I'm not hoping she'll suffer a setback either.

The two had just gotten off the bus and were about to reverse back to the military base when someone stopped them: "First Snow."

Chu Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Chen Nianxiang from the factory office: "Director Chen, what are you doing here?"

Director Chen said excitedly, "I came here specifically to wait for you."

Chu Xue looked puzzled and pointed to herself: "Wait for me?"

Director Chen looked embarrassed, after all, what Factory Director Yang had done was disgusting: "Um, Chu Xue, it's like this..."

He quickly explained the difficulties the factory was facing: "Chuxue, the new factory director Zheng originally asked Deputy Factory Director Gu to handle this matter. We went to your home this morning and found out that you had gone with the army. Later, we called there to find someone, but they said you had returned to the city. So we went to your in-laws' house and found out that you had returned to Changping today."

"But the factory can't wait any longer. Deputy Director Gu has a meeting this afternoon, so I'll have to wait here." He coughed nervously, then added, "I know it's not very kind of me to come to you now, but there's no other way."

Thinking that her cousin, older cousin, and brother-in-law were still working at the steel rolling mill, she was worried that if she didn't take care of them, it might implicate them. In addition, what happened before was due to Director Yang's inhuman behavior, and it really had nothing to do with the other people in the factory. Besides, if she really didn't take care of them, she was afraid that the higher-ups would go after the military, which would not be good for Fu Yancheng either.

But it's impossible for her to help unconditionally: "Director, I'm not a factory employee anymore, and you know the situation better than anyone. I can help, but it depends on your sincerity."

Director Chen breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as it wasn't a direct rejection, he was fine; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself back at work.

Fearing that Chuxue might change her mind, he thought for a moment and said, "Chuxue, just tell me what you're thinking, and I'll do my best to make it happen."

Chu Xue chuckled softly: "Asking me to mention my feelings seems insincere, don't you think?"

Director Chen's smile froze on his face: "Right, right, look at my brain, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk? I'll also go and report to the leaders and see what their plan is?"

Chu Xue glanced at her watch: "Director Chen, we were supposed to catch the vehicle back to the unit. If we don't reach an agreement and it delays our journey, I'm afraid..."

Director Chen quickly assured him, "How about this, no matter the outcome, I'll have the factory's car take you back. Is that alright?"

Now that things have come to this point, it would be petty for her to continue being coy: "Alright, considering the care Director Chen gave me when I first joined the factory, I'll naturally give him this face."
