Chapter 1241: Let Him Regret It From the Start

Factory Director Yang, seeing him speak without restraint, asked, "If you resign now, it seems you no longer value the rewards from the Canton Fair?"

Chuxue heard this and said, "You are truly a fine leader, but I'm afraid that is not up to you. If resigning means erasing my past contributions, then naturally I must have my family take me to the Ministry of Metallurgy for a stroll; after all, I did make some connections at the Canton Fair."

Factory Director Yang might have also lost his temper: "Only you can handle this job properly; you truly do not know how to appreciate favor."

Having finished speaking, he turned and walked toward his own office.

Xiao Chuxue's mouth was simply too sharp to be ignored; if he stayed any longer, he feared he would lose both his dignity and his face, especially since his past actions could not be deeply investigated.

In the instant he turned, he actually resented Qin Ruoyun and the Qin family.

Had the Qin family not always considered themselves benefactors, he would not have compromised time and again over Qin Ruoyun's affairs.

Thus, people are selfish; when he was helping Qin Ruoyun before, he likely never imagined anyone would dare resist, always feeling that within the steel mill's small domain, he was the one in charge, and as long as one wanted to work here, one had to obey him, so they acted without restraint.

Yet they happened to encounter Xiao Chuxue, this variable, who simply threw down her tools and quit.

He was so focused on how to report to the superior unit that he forgot about the people Deputy Factory Director Gu had just brought.

Just as he was about to enter the office, he heard Deputy Factory Director Gu's voice: "Factory Director, two Public Security comrades from Guang City are in the small conference room."

Factory Director Yang paused for a moment: "Guang City Public Security?"

Deputy Factory Director Gu knew about the incident that occurred before Chuxue's leave; therefore, when notified by the gatehouse, he personally went out to receive them. With the commendation from Guang City Public Security, how could the Factory Director still have the face to help Qin Ruoyun bully Chuxue?

Nevertheless, having seen large-scale events before, he quickly adjusted his expression: "Greetings, I wonder what brings you here this time?"

From Deputy Factory Director Gu's expression, one could guess it was likely not bad news, so he had little to worry about.

One of the Public Security comrades said, "Factory Director Yang, we are from the Guang City Public Security Bureau; this time we came specially to deliver the City Public Security Bureau's commendation to comrade Xiao Chuxue of your factory."

Factory Director Yang's face, which had been smiling, instantly froze: "What, a commendation?"

The other Public Security officer said, "Yes, because comrade Xiao Chuxue acted bravely in the face of danger, she not only helped us capture a road-blocking robbery gang, but two of them were nationally wanted criminals, making a major contribution. Please trouble the Factory Director to fetch her in person; we must present this commendation to her directly."

Factory Director Yang was instantly petrified where he stood.

After a long while, he stammered, "Um, it might not be convenient right now; she..."

He had intended to fabricate a reason to brush it off, but if the lie were exposed, would he not be in a very passive position?

He could only change his tone: "Um, she has just completed her resignation procedures because she is to accompany the army and has already left the factory."

The two Public Security officers from Guang City exchanged glances; one of them spoke: "We came specially to Jing City for her, so naturally we must see her in person; then please trouble you to have someone take us to her home."

Embarrassment flashed across Factory Director Yang's face; he looked at Deputy Factory Director Gu: "Deputy Factory Director Gu, if your hands are not too busy, perhaps you could accompany these two comrades on the trip."

He thought that since Chuxue had resigned, there was no need to expand the circle of people who knew about this matter; since Deputy Factory Director Gu already knew, he should handle it.

It was just that what Factory Director Yang did not expect was one wave subsiding only for another to rise, leaving him filled with regret for his past actions.
