Chapter 1109: Can You Please Watch Your Words and Show Some Decency?

Among this group, aside from Old Zhou from the Technical Section, none were qualified to buy sleeper tickets; moreover, sleeper tickets were hard to get anyway, so even though the journey would take over thirty hours, they had all bought hard-seat tickets.

And Old Zhou, the only one qualified to buy a sleeper, because he had many children at home, voluntarily chose a hard seat to claim the travel allowance difference.

They had not been inside for long before the announcement for ticket checking sounded.

Of the eight people traveling together, only Wan Qing and Chuxue were female comrades, so everyone took good care of them; when checking tickets and entering the station, they shielded the two in the middle, so they suffered no crowding at all.

After boarding, Chuxue's seat happened to be next to Wan Qing's; to avoid mutual annoyance, as soon as she got on the train, Chuxue took out the product materials she had brought with her and began studying them carefully; although she was very sleepy, she restrained herself.

She had already gone through these materials before; for safety's sake, and to avoid contact with Wan Qing, she studied the materials carefully two more times, committing everything to memory, before putting them away.

She did not expect Wan Qing to have been watching her all along: "Comrade Xiao is so diligent; are you afraid you won't be able to handle the job?"

Chuxue did not want to cause trouble, but Wan Qing kept picking fights: "Comrade Wan should worry about yourself; my affairs need not concern you. As for whether I can handle the job, one only knows after doing it. What, from the sound of your tone, do you very much want to see me bring shame to the factory?"

Neither of them spoke with lowered voices; Wan Qing, startled by Chuxue's words, grew flustered: "I was just showing concern; do not talk nonsense."

Chuxue gave a cold snort: "Your concern is truly special."

After the quarrel, turning a blind eye was a good excuse; having said that, she ignored her, closed her eyes, and prepared to catch up on sleep.

Wan Qing still wanted to say something, but seeing that the other person had already closed her eyes...

Seeing everyone looking at her, she could not say anything more; she was just so angry that her chest heaved repeatedly.

Old Zhou spoke up at this moment: "Now that we are out, everyone's words and actions represent the factory; please prioritize the big picture, bind together as one, and complete the task assigned to us by the factory leadership."

Many in the carriage knew that Wan Qing and Qin Ruoyun had a good relationship; she was no fool. Hearing these words were directed at her, she naturally dared not pick another quarrel.

The train traveled southward; before long, Chuxue fell into a dream.

By the time she was pushed awake, it was already time for lunch.

Mi Aijun, having had the experience of traveling together before, took extra care of Chuxue: "Chuxue, wake up; it's time to eat. Did you bring any food?"

Chuxue had only hastily eaten a few bites that morning and was indeed a bit hungry now; in a daze, she pointed to the small handbag on the overhead rack: "Brother Mi, help me get that small handbag."

Inside the thermos cup within, Fu Yan Cheng had put a few spoonfuls of milk powder for her, telling her to remember to mix and drink it at noon to replenish her strength.

She took it out and prepared to stand up to get water.

Zhang Chunsheng, sitting opposite, happened to stand up: "Give it to me; I was just going to get water."

Chuxue was not pretentious; she handed it over directly: "Thank you, Brother Zhang."

Wan Qing had joined the factory only after the New Year and knew nothing about the incident when they went to Inner Mongolia and faced danger before: "Really knows how to order people around."

Now not only did Chuxue's face darken, but Mi Aijun, who was about to eat, could not stand it either: "I say, Comrade Wan, when traveling together, we ought to help each other; moreover, during the previous trip, Chuxue indirectly saved our lives. Can you please watch your words and show some decency?"
