Chapter 1658: Just Stop Bringing Up Old Accounts With Me

Chuxue went in and saw Duan Ruirui, who had grown quite plump: "You, you, my fourth cousin indeed took very good care of you."

She had meant to say, "Why have you gotten so fat?" but with the New Year so close, she feared Ruirui would punch her upon hearing it.

Remembering something, she quickly changed the subject: "When will my fourth cousin's technical support end, and when can he be transferred back?"

Duan Ruirui glared at Xiao Wanpeng, who wore a guilty expression: "Just mentioning this makes me angry. There was a chance last month, but this fellow drank a bit of cat urine, got his tongue all thick, and actually patted his chest to promise someone he would never flee the battlefield. Do you think that's human speech?

Everyone else who goes over stays for half a year before being transferred back, then other colleagues take their turn. But he, well, he said he wouldn't flee the battlefield. If that word gets to his colleagues' ears, won't they curse him behind his back?

Now look, his wish came true. The colleague who was supposed to replace him has a sick father who can't even get out of bed; he's just enduring the days. That colleague went to the leader.

The leader said the list was decided long ago and it's hard to directly assign someone else, so he told him to see if he could swap schedules with other colleagues.

Well, that colleague asked the few people after him, but they all made excuses; not a single one agreed to take this on.

After all, once the work over there is finished, this schedule will likely be void. If another place needs long-term dispatch guidance, the schedule will naturally be rearranged, so everyone hopes for an early finish so those ranked later won't have to go.

That colleague had no choice but to contact your brother. See, he didn't say a word and just took it. So after the New Year, he has to go over on the sixth day to continue supervising."

Chuxue looked at the son in Duan Ruirui's arms and handed over a red envelope: "This is my New Year's money for my little nephew."

Duan Ruirui smiled and accepted it for her son: "Then I'll thank my son Xiao Chenlin on behalf of my family, Auntie."

Chuxue sat down: "Come, let me hold him."

After taking the child, Chuxue continued asking: "What about you? Will you go over with him?"

Xiao Chuxue waved her hand: "This time I won't go with him at all. Besides, I've already taken nearly half a year off. If I don't go back to work soon, I'm afraid I'll lose my position."

Thinking of what happened before, she couldn't help but nag a bit: "Back then, I didn't fail to advise you. I told you to stay in the city for your delivery. With my eldest aunt looking after you, plus whoever had time from others coming over to help, but you, well, with just one sentence 'I don't want to trouble others,' you went over with your belly swollen. Now you know how to regret it."

Duan Ruirui leaned against Chuxue's shoulder in a coquettish manner: "Oh, it was just your fourth brother's beauty that bewitched me, so I got carried away and went over. Now I've woken up. Just stop bringing up old accounts with me."

Remembering that Chuxue had already received the acceptance letter, she spoke in a cutesy voice: "When you achieve something in the future, don't forget to look out for me."

Hearing this, Chuxue smiled and replied: "Fine, I'll definitely make a big cover for you and lock you right inside to protect you thoroughly."

Both of them laughed.

Duan Ruirui suddenly thought of Ji Kunlan: "Chuxue, let me tell you something."

Chuxue saw that she had been fine just a moment ago, but her expression instantly changed: "What is it?"

Duan Ruirui took a deep breath: "Kunlan might be coming back in a while."

Chuxue had been busy lately and had neglected Kunlan: "I haven't received a letter from her in a long time. Did something happen?"
