Chapter 1393: I Certainly Won't Let You Work for Nothing

Liu Chuxue turned to look and saw Zhao, the Deputy Minister of the First Machinery Department, walking briskly toward her: "Greetings, Deputy Minister Zhao."

Deputy Minister Zhao seemed somewhat anxious: "Comrade Xiao, there is something I'm afraid will require your help?"

Liu Chuxue had only seen this Deputy Minister during the interview and written test that day: "I don't know what it is, but if it's within my ability, I certainly won't refuse."

The meaning of these words was that if it were outside her scope of ability, she would not make things difficult for herself.

Deputy Minister Zhao coughed lightly and waved his hand, saying: "For this favor, apart from you, no one else can truly do it."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue wore an expression on her face that said, "You don't believe me."

Then she heard Deputy Minister Zhao say: "It's about that batch of orders from the Rolling Steel Mill at the Canton Fair. That Miss Anna, at the critical moment of delivery, specifically requested you to handle the liaison. What do you think of this matter?"

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes heavily in her heart: "Deputy Minister Zhao, it's not that I don't want to help, but I've been resigned from the Rolling Steel Mill for so long. If I go back and get involved, the comrades in the factory probably won't be happy."

Deputy Minister Zhao naturally understood the meaning of Liu Chuxue's words; since she no longer worked at the Rolling Steel Mill, she wouldn't just go back to help with a single word, especially since the former factory director had acted unreasonably: "Comrade Xiao, I know this puts you in a difficult position, but no matter how the comrades in the factory communicate with Miss Anna, over there they only recognize you. At this critical moment of delivery, there really can be no mistakes. I beg Comrade Xiao to show some spirit. Of course, the compensation will certainly not be lacking; I certainly won't let you work for nothing."

The reason Deputy Minister Zhao came was that no matter how they communicated with the Rolling Steel Mill, they couldn't resolve it. Factory Director Zheng had no choice but to call the department, but they couldn't find her.

Factory Director Zheng immediately flew into a rage, slapping the table and cursing Factory Director Yang for his previous unreasonable behavior. Someone weakly suggested: "Liu Chuxue is currently an external translator for the First Machinery Department; perhaps it would be faster to ask the leaders of the First Machinery Department for help."

The Rolling Steel Mill's phone call was made to Deputy Minister Zhao of the First Machinery Department.

Coincidentally, someone saw Liu Chuxue coming to deliver the translation draft and mentioned it to Deputy Minister Zhao.

Deputy Minister Zhao couldn't wait for anything else; he stood up and rushed over to intercept her, after all, earning foreign exchange was a major matter and could not be delayed.

What Factory Director Yang didn't know was that because of this matter, he was dragged out and flayed by many people again, and the matter of transferring him to a large factory was suppressed.

With things said to this extent, Liu Chuxue knew she naturally couldn't refuse, but she still stated the ugly truth beforehand: "Deputy Minister Zhao, since you've said so, if I refuse again, it would seem pretentious. However, you must send someone to accompany me over there, after all, not everyone hopes I go to handle this matter. What do you say?"

Deputy Minister Zhao naturally understood the meaning of Liu Chuxue's words; what she said was also correct. He feared there might be those who didn't know right from wrong, who would dislike her returning to suppress them and make them lose face, inevitably saying sour words in front of them: "No problem. As long as you are willing to go, these are small matters."

Seeing that Deputy Minister Zhao agreed, Liu Chuxue said again: "Then what about the compensation?"

She could help, but she wouldn't do free labor; the matter of compensation must be settled in advance to avoid having to argue with them after the matter was completed.

After all, she had come out today without telling Fu Yan Cheng; if she delayed too long outside, she feared she wouldn't make it back by noon, causing him worry.

What could Deputy Minister Zhao do? After a moment of thought: "Fifty yuan, plus several coupons. Do you find this feasible?"
