Chapter 1232: Accountability

Liu Chuxue, fearing her elder brother-in-law might overthink it, smiled and said, "It cannot be said that way; everything has two sides. Regardless of which, it all reflects your deep brother-sister affection for Xiao Wan."

After chatting a few more words, Guo Wenjing raised her hand to check her watch: "Fu Yanming, we must go; we will be late to pick up Jinyun."

Fu Yanming, thinking of the tears his little daughter shed whenever they were late, immediately stood up: "Alright, then let's leave it at that; we'll go pick up the child first."

After seeing his elder brother and sister-in-law off, Fu Yan Cheng looked at Liu Chuxue: "Wife, thank you."

Liu Chuxue naturally knew what he meant: "Although I married in last, I consider my relationship with Xiao Wan the best. Even if my elder brother-in-law hadn't said it, I could never have given a gift that was too light."

Fu Yan Cheng reached out and pulled her into his embrace: "Wife, to marry you is truly my three-lifetime fortune."

Liu Chuxue rested her head against the man's chest and said with a tsundere tone, "Of course; you should be secretly rejoicing that you managed to marry me."

For a moment, the two of them laughed together.

On the other side, after Qin Ruoyun stuttered through the translation once again, Anna had reached her limit; she went directly to the foreign trade officer accompanying them: "I apologize, but I believe this Young Lady is not competent for the role of accompanying translator; please trouble you to replace her with someone else."

In fact, throughout the journey, not to mention Young Lady Anna, even their accompanying staff could not bear to watch; not only did she fail to convey Chinese culture through her expressions, but her translation was extremely stuttering, and some parts were not even entirely accurate.

However, this Young Lady Qin was assigned by higher authorities; even if they had strong objections, they could not simply remove her.

In fact, before Anna proposed changing personnel, they had already reported the matter to higher authorities; higher authorities actually attached great importance to this and were in the process of finding someone to replace her.

Qin Ruoyun had originally thought that each delegation would have one or two translators dispatched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and her role was merely to accompany them and occasionally explain things when they did not understand; she never expected that this Young Lady Anna was a China enthusiast who had done no homework in advance, so she could only answer nothing to every question.

Even for the few things she knew, she could not translate them precisely, which made Anna very angry.

Before the newly sought translator on that side arrived, news of Young Lady Qin's removal by the delegation spread on this side, and the accountability from higher authorities quickly reached the Rolling Steel Factory.

The first to be held accountable was Factory Director Yang: "We finally gave you a chance to show your face, and this is how you handle things? Not only did the translator specified by Young Lady Anna not go, but you actually sent a so-called translator who cannot even communicate fluently; what exactly were you thinking?"

Factory Director Yang was shouted at until his face burned with stinging pain.

He could not believe at all that Qin Ruoyun would be so incompetent as to be removed; after hanging up the phone, he still wondered if that Young Lady Anna was deliberately making things difficult for people.

What he did not know was that Anna's native language was Italian; although English was mostly used when traveling abroad, our Young Lady Qin had merely memorized some daily phrases by rote; regarding Anna's questions, she had never heard of them before, and with absolutely no advance preparation, how could she possibly answer?

After Factory Director Yang made numerous calls to plead for leniency, no one dared to speak a good word for him since it involved foreign businessmen and a foreign delegation; higher authorities directly recorded a demerit against Factory Director Yang and ordered him to immediately send the comrade found by Young Lady Anna over there.

Factory Director Yang directly summoned his secretary, instructing him to find Section Chief Li and tell her to notify Liu Chuxue to return to the factory for work immediately.

Section Chief Li, who was already unhappy about the incident that day, directly replied, "She has gone to the army; we cannot contact her now."

She directly blocked him with that response.
