Chapter 1243: What Exactly Have I Done?

~4 min read 741 words

The person on the other end of the phone sounded puzzled upon hearing this: "What transfer notice could make her feel dissatisfied?"

Factory Director Yang coughed lightly and said, "It was Ruoyun, that child, wanting to vent on behalf of a friend. I originally disagreed, but I couldn't resist her constant coaxing, so I had no choice but to agree."

"What? Ruoyun is involved in this?"

"Director Qin, since the matter has already happened, getting angry won't help. The most important thing now is to settle this as quickly as possible. Otherwise, if it truly spreads and everyone above knows about it, and someone comes down to investigate, many things might become impossible to cover up."

"What ideas do you have?"

"I was thinking, since you have wide connections, perhaps we could find someone with top-tier foreign language skills to take her place as soon as possible, so that Miss Anna won't keep requesting personnel from above."

After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Alright, I'll have someone arrange it right now and send someone over as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Factory Director Yang breathed a sigh of relief: I hope Director Qin will pull his weight.

After all, if Miss Anna isn't appeased properly, those above will surely blame me for incompetence. If someone truly comes to the factory to investigate, the things I did before might be exposed. By then, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as just receiving criticism.

The reason I called Director Qin was to have them share the burden, after all, all these matters are related to the Qin family's precious daughter. We are all grasshoppers on the same rope; by then, no one will be able to escape.

He had just breathed a sigh of relief when the office door was knocked on: "Come in."

Secretary Jiang entered: "Factory Director, people from the Ministry of Railways have arrived and have entered the factory."

Factory Director Yang was completely confused: "The Ministry of Railways? What are they doing coming to the factory?"

Secretary Jiang shook her head, but then thought of something: "Could it be that they have an order for us?"

Factory Director Yang glanced out the window: "Let's go, I'll go welcome them with you."

They had just reached the staircase when the security department brought the visitors over: "Factory Director, these are comrades from the Ministry of Railways. They say they have come to deliver rewards to the factory's employees."

Something flashed through Factory Director Yang's mind; he slapped his forehead, remembering what Engineer Zhou had said when he called back from Guang City.

Suddenly his mind was in chaos, and he broke out in a cold sweat all over: How could I have forgotten that matter?

Although Engineer Zhou didn't specify exactly what happened at the time, he said that Xiao Chuxue had done a great favor for the railway public security. Could these people be here to deliver rewards to her?

After numbly shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with them, it was exactly as expected.

As soon as they welcomed the visitors into the conference room, the visitor spoke: "Factory Director Yang, we have come today on behalf of the Ministry of Railways to deliver rewards to your factory's employee, comrade Xiao Chuxue. May we have someone bring her over?"

Upon hearing these words, Factory Director Yang felt as if five thunderbolts had struck him; his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat. What exactly have I done?

He had forcibly pushed all the credit away: "This..."

Seeing his strange expression, the visitor asked: "What's wrong? Is something improper?"

He finally understood now why Xiao Chuxue dared to speak to him like that today. She probably knew long ago that these people would come to the factory to find her soon. She wanted to make him watch but not be able to partake. It seems she is quite scheming.

Anyway, the public security in Guang City had already spoken, so the Ministry of Railways here couldn't hide it either. He could only follow what was said before: "Comrade Xiao Chuxue is going to join the army. She just completed her resignation and replacement procedures today. You are a step too late."

The two people delivering the rewards exchanged a glance: "Is her home far from the factory? Could you assign a comrade to take us there?"
