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

Chapter 556 Business Trip Mission
Ning Xiaoyu pleaded for mercy the whole way, and finally said with a grin, "At worst, I'll squeeze in with Kunlan and Chuxue."

A short while later, the two returned together.

Ning Xiaoyu held a plate of raisins in her hand: "Come on, come on, my cousin brought these back from XJ on his business trip. I got these for my mom when I massaged her shoulders and back. Have a taste."

Seeing her quirky words, Ji Kunlan smiled and took a small handful: "This is good stuff. I heard that grapes are abundant in XJ, and the villagers who can't finish them will dry them into raisins."

Ning Xiaoyu nodded and said, "My cousin said that every household there dries raisins, and the price is much cheaper than here. He brought a lot back and gave some to relatives and neighbors. It can be considered a local specialty."

Chu Xue looked at the raisins in her hand: Things are different now than in later years. Although they are good products, they can't be transported out, so they can't be sold at a good price. In addition, people are very honest now, and there are fewer cases of people raising prices on the spot. Buying them locally will definitely be cheaper.

Thinking about my own space, I thought: It would be great if I had the opportunity to go on a business trip, then I could enrich my own space.

To her surprise, not long after she arrived at the office the next day, the section chief approached her: "Xiao Liu, come to my office."

Chu Xue glanced at Sister Hong, and seeing her shake her head, she wondered what was going on in her mind: "Section Chief."

Section Chief Li pointed to the chair opposite him: "Sit down."

Chu Xue wasn't reserved at all. After all, she was now a full-time employee and hadn't made any mistakes, so the call must be about work. She heard Section Chief Li say, "Xiao Liu, you've been in our department for over a month now. From what I've observed, your professional skills are exceptional, you could say you've already surpassed a new level. Moreover, you're quick-witted, and you're not only calm but also cautious when things happen. You're really excellent."

Chu Xue was surprised that the section chief had such a high opinion of her: "Section chief, you flatter me. I'm not as good as you say, but Sister Hong has indeed taught me a lot. I will continue to work hard in the future."

Section Chief Li looked pleased: "He's being modest, but what I said is true. I called you here today because there's something I need to tell you."

Chu Xue subconsciously sat up straight: "Please speak."

Section Chief Li picked up his cup, poured himself a glass of water, and then returned to his seat: "It's like this, the technical department and the sales department need to go to the three northeastern provinces because we also have business dealings with several provinces there, so the finance department needs to send someone over."

As you know, this is the responsibility of our department, so this task fell to our department. I went through all the staff in our department. Sister Hong is getting old, and her mother-in-law has a leg injury and can't be left alone.

Jiang Taojun's wife is heavily pregnant, so I don't dare let him go on business trips. If something happens, none of us can bear the responsibility. Cui Haiqing can go, but I came in with him at the factory gate this morning, and his stepsister's daughter is getting married. They asked him, as her uncle, to go and escort her. The arrangements have already been made, and if he says he won't go, things will probably get even worse. So, it's not feasible for him either.

As for Xiaohui and Minmin, they are not capable of taking on this responsibility, and I dare not let them go with me. If they mess things up, we will lose face all the way to the Northeast, and our entire department will be disgraced.

Finally, it's just you and Gao Jiangang left, but Gao's wedding date is set for next weekend, which falls right in the middle. He has to go on a business trip and won't be able to get back by the weekend, so after careful consideration, I think it's more appropriate for you to go instead.
