Chapter 1092: Going on a Business Trip to the Canton Fair

After Section Chief Li finished speaking, she first scanned everyone in the office. Just as she was about to speak, Sister Hong spoke up: "Section Chief, my mother-in-law's condition has been relatively stable lately. Plus, it's thanks to Liu Chuxue's good luck. My sister-in-law just returned from the Northwest yesterday to visit family and will only be home for less than a month. I'm more familiar with the work on her hands than any other comrade; I'll take it over."

Section Chief Li had originally intended for the two young people, Wan Xiaohui or Wang Minmin, to take over. Since Sister Hong had said so, it was naturally even better.

The reason Sister Hong took over was indeed that her sister-in-law had returned to visit, so she wasn't so busy these days. Furthermore, she didn't want Liu Chuxue to have to redo everything upon her return. Wan Xiaohui and Wang Minmin made mistakes in their own work frequently, and she didn't want to partner with those two; she feared she'd have a heart attack early.

Liu Chuxue looked gratefully at Sister Hong. After Section Chief Li left, she leaned close to Sister Hong and whispered: "Sister Hong, thanks. I'll bring you some Guangdong specialties when I return."

Sister Hong wasn't a shy person: "That would be wonderful."

Seeing them whispering in each other's ears, Wan Xiaohui said sourly: "It's good to have ability; you really meet good things everywhere."

Liu Chuxue didn't indulge her: "You know having ability is good, so why not hurry up and work hard? Instead of wasting time being sarcastic, it would be more practical to strengthen your own professional skills."

Wan Xiaohui didn't expect Liu Chuxue to confront her directly. She got so angry her face turned red and her neck swelled: "Don't get too cocky. What kind of place is the Canton Fair? Even if you get the chance to go, do you know for sure you can handle it?"

Hearing these words, Section Chief Li walked straight out from the small office inside: "Wan Xiaohui, what kind of words are those? Are you dissatisfied with the factory leadership's decision, or do you think you are more capable than Liu Chuxue and better suited for the translation work at this Canton Fair?"

Wan Xiaohui didn't expect Section Chief Li to stand up for Liu Chuxue: "Section Chief, I, I didn't mean that. It was just a casual remark."

Section Chief Li's face darkened terrifyingly: "How ignorant must you be to make such a casual remark? If these words get out, aren't you afraid people will misunderstand that you don't care about the factory's well-being?"

These words scared Wan Xiaohui. She waved her hands repeatedly: "Section Chief, I didn't. I was just a bit jealous. I really didn't mean that."

If it weren't for the favor of her father's diligent work before, someone like Wan Xiaohui, who made no effort to improve, would have been kicked out of the section long ago. She herself made no progress and didn't want others to have ambition. She constantly made a few sour remarks, nearly exhausting the goodwill her father had left behind.

Wan Xiaohui wanted to say something more, but Section Chief Li raised her hand to stop her: "Regardless of whether you did or not, this is an office. Don't bring your personal emotions into the office."

This was the first time Section Chief Li had been so unyielding in front of everyone in the office. Besides Wan Xiaohui being unhappy, everyone else felt a sense of relief that the Section Chief finally couldn't stand it anymore, finally took action to deal with it, and their ears could finally be quiet.

Knowing she had to travel for work, Liu Chuxue borrowed the office phone to call Xiao Fu's workplace.

After the call came back: "Liu Chuxue, why are you calling? Did something happen?"

Liu Chuxue heard he must have run over: "Dad, don't worry. Nothing happened. I'm calling to tell you that I'm going to Guangdong Province for work in three days. These few days I need to hand over work at the unit and coordinate upcoming tasks with the colleagues traveling with me, so I won't have time to come home. Please convey this message for me."
