Chapter 1704: Is There Such a Good Thing?

~4 min read 756 words

Liu Chuxue did not agree immediately, but said, "This matter will likely need to be communicated to the school, after all, it is not a one or two-day affair."

Vice Minister Zhao smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this; as long as you agree, I will contact the school immediately."

If it were before, she probably would not have agreed, after all, she could not leave the three children with Auntie Wei alone; even with Wei Wenbin's help, the triplets would not always be so well-behaved.

Now it was different; with Song Sanrui and his wife, whom she held in high regard, joining in, she could now feel at ease: "Has the time been set?"

Vice Minister Zhao took a document out of the drawer: "Take a look."

Liu Chuxue took it and saw it was an internal document from the Ministry of Machinery; it was a notice on doing a good job in receiving the XX delegation's visit to China, clearly stating the time, location, participating units, and reception standards.

The reason for showing the document to Liu Chuxue was to let her have a clear idea in her mind.

Liu Chuxue asked again, "Do I prepare the clothing myself, or is it a uniform dress code?"

Vice Minister Zhao laughed: "You have asked the right question; this time, to show our professional quality, the Ministry of Foreign Trade will uniformly order the clothing, and it will be made according to each person's measurements."

After speaking, he gave Liu Chuxue a look that said, "You know what I mean."

Liu Chuxue immediately smiled: "Is there such a good thing?"

Vice Minister Zhao laughed heartily: "It is just that your luck is good."

While they were talking, the secretary ran back: "Vice Minister Zhao, they said there is no problem, and they said it is very perfect."

With the matter settled, Vice Minister Zhao looked at the secretary: "Take her to the logistics department to measure her size, then report it together with the other personnel."

After speaking, he wrote a note, signed his name, and handed it to Liu Chuxue: "Go to finance to collect the translation fee, then go to logistics."

Liu Chuxue asked Fu Yan Cheng to wait for her, and she went to finance first.

Sister Wang in finance saw her come in and smiled: "You're here."

It was a familiar process, and it was done quickly; Sister Wang habitually used lip movements to tell her the amount.

After Liu Chuxue counted it, she smiled back at her, confirmed it was correct, signed, and left.

As soon as she left, someone curiously spoke up: "Sister Wang, did Comrade Xiao collect quite a lot this time?"

Sister Wang just smiled and did not reply.

Seeing that Sister Wang still did not reply as usual, the questioner went on talking to himself: "Look at her; she just writes a little and gets money, it is truly enviable."

Seeing that Sister Wang still did not speak, that person turned to chat with someone nearby: "Do you think I should also learn a foreign language during breaks? Making money this fast is too much."

The colleague over there was good-tempered: "Then just learn it; you say you want to learn every few days, but I haven't seen you take action."

That person smiled awkwardly: "I just forget it after the fact; I see it and get envious."

Hearing her say that, the colleague also laughed: "Alright, just do the work in your hands well first; if you can't even handle this small matter, then you will only get scolded."

When Liu Chuxue came out from finance, Fu Yan Cheng stepped forward to meet her and habitually reached out to take the bag from her hands: "Let me carry it."

Liu Chuxue did not refuse; after all, she would go with Secretary Qu to measure her size in a moment, and holding this would indeed be inconvenient.

However, after Fu Yan Cheng took the bag, he sensed the difference in weight and thought: It seems my wife's translation fee this time is quite large again.

His mood was both proud and somewhat bitter; his own monthly salary was not even as much as what his wife earned translating one set of materials.

Thinking of the mission the division commander had mentioned to him before, he decided to accept it as soon as he returned.

Since his income cannot catch up with his wife's, he must accumulate more military merits to raise his position even higher.
