Chapter 1268: Registration Successful

Chuxue had just walked in when she looked up and saw Fang Ruyu: "Auntie, what are you doing here?"

Fang Ruyu saw it was Chuxue: "Yan Cheng's wife."

Earlier she had asked someone to rent out a house at Houhai; now that she had met the person, she could ask directly: "Yes, it's me, Auntie. Just call me Chuxue."

Fang Ruyu smiled and pulled her closer: "A few days ago I even called the unit. They said Yan Cheng had gone on a mission. I was thinking of calling again in a few days to find him. I never expected to run into you today. Perfect."

Chuxue immediately guessed the housing matter was settled: "Auntie, Yan Cheng just returned from his mission. We were planning to go over in a few days when he has some rest."

Fang Ruyu was not an impulsive person. She glanced around: "Did you come here for something?"

Chuxue nodded: "Yes, Auntie. I did come for something important. There is a translator exam tomorrow. I want to register, but registration closes before eleven o'clock today. I rushed over to get a referral letter."

Hearing it was about this, Fang Ruyu turned and called out to a woman nearby, then pulled Chuxue toward her: "Sister Shen, please trouble you to issue a referral letter for this child."

Knowing Chuxue was in a hurry, Fang Ruyu added: "This one is a military spouse. Her personal background is no problem."

After speaking, she looked at Chuxue: "This is Director Shen of the Subdistrict Office."

Chuxue quickly greeted her and explained her situation. Having connections in the capital makes things easier. Sure enough, less than ten minutes later she had the referral letter and even received some encouragement.

As she left, Chuxue whispered to Fang Ruyu: "Auntie, if it's convenient, I'll come over tonight so we can discuss it in detail."

Fang Ruyu was also a person who did not fuss over trifles. She patted her shoulder: "The registration matter is urgent. If you have no other plans tonight, come over early. Auntie will cook something delicious for you."

Chuxue agreed, then hurriedly took the referral letter and left.

Near the Xinhua Bookstore, she found a secluded spot. First, she took two passport photos she needed from her space, then counted out the registration fee and placed it together with the referral letter.

When she entered, the staff member who had received her earlier was not there.

The staff member who received her briefly explained the exam tomorrow: "If you had been half an hour later, you would have missed tomorrow's exam."

Chuxue took the completed exam certificate, her face radiant as a flower: "I happened to come today to inquire about the translator certificate exam. What a coincidence."

The staff member was infected by Chuxue's smile and said casually: "I wish you all the best tomorrow."

Hearing this, Chuxue's smile grew even brighter: "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words."

If things go smoothly tomorrow, it seems the matter of returning to the military family compound will have to be postponed. Seeing a public telephone booth not far away, she walked over in a few steps.

After dialing a number: "Please connect me to *****..."

After waiting a short while, a voice came from the other end of the line: "Where to connect?"

Chuxue's clear voice carried across: "Please connect me to Regiment 3, Company 3, Fu Yan Cheng."

The other side replied: "Please wait."

Then came the transfer. This time it took a long while before someone picked up: "Hello, who is this?"

Hearing it was not Fu Yan Cheng's voice, Chuxue said: "I am Xiao Chuxue. Please help me find..."

Before she could finish her polite words, the person on the other side cut in: "Sister-in-law, hello. I'll go call the regiment commander right away. He'll be here immediately."

Before she could reply, the sound of hanging up came from the other end of the line, followed by a burst of 'beep-beep-beep' busy tones.

Chuxue froze. What kind of operation was this?

Staring at the receiver, she couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.
