Chapter 1830: Looking at Your Expression, Something Is Wrong

After seeing everyone off, the two spent the late night in sweet, intimate company.

Just as Liu Chuxue was overcome with emotion, Fu Yan Cheng persistently tempted her, persuading her to agree that as soon as school let out, she would pack up and take the children back to the military unit.

Having obtained the result he wanted, Fu Yan Cheng reluctantly returned to the unit early the next morning.

When Liu Chuxue woke up, the sun was already high in the sky; recalling the words Fu Yan Cheng had whispered in her ear that morning, her face flushed with embarrassment.

After the exams were over, there was nothing important left to do at the school.

Besides cleaning the classrooms and dormitories and organizing class records, the most important task was registering the out-of-town students for their train tickets home.

During this period, the school still arranged tickets uniformly, so statistics had to be compiled in advance.

Liu Chuxue rested at home for a day, helping to pack some of the items to be taken back to the unit; since the three little ones did not need to be picked up at noon, she went to the First Ministry of Machine Building in the afternoon.

She delivered the translated materials; this time, she directly received materials for translating medical literature, several thick stacks, meaning she would not need to come again before the start of the next semester.

Just as she stepped out of the First Ministry of Machine Building, preparing to take the bus, she unexpectedly met Jiang Wenyue at the intersection: "Liu Chuxue, what are you doing here?"

Liu Chuxue pointed to the gate not far away: "I came to deliver the materials."

Jiang Wenyue let out a "Tsk!" and said, "Look at me, I forgot such an important matter."

Liu Chuxue smiled at her: "Why are you here?"

Thinking of the matter she had failed to accomplish, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Jiang Wenyue: "Liu Chuxue, where are you going next?"

Seeing her eager expression, Liu Chuxue said: "Looking at your expression, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Wenyue felt they were becoming more and more in sync: "Indeed, there is something, and this matter truly requires your personal intervention to be resolved."

Liu Chuxue looked at her with suspicion: "Is it really as mysterious as you say?"

Jiang Wenyue recounted the whole story.

The Daily Chemical Factory has been moving to Xinjiekou these past few days; they used connections to transport several large machines discarded by factories in Haishi City back here, including a German vacuum dryer whose sealing ring had aged and was leaking oil, requiring repair.

There was also an old Italian soap-pressing machine whose pulley always hummed when running; of course, when they bought it, the seller had made it clear that the machine was only 3,200 yuan through internal allocation of scrap, and with the cost of hoisting and shipping, the total came to less than 4,000 yuan, which was more cost-effective than buying a new domestic machine.

They went to the Beijing Daily Chemical Factory to find the mechanics in the machine repair workshop; the mechanics were willing to help, but some of them had been seconded to the newly established Daily Chemical Factory No. 2.

The remaining few mechanics had originally promised to lend one person to help them repair those two machines, but by sheer coincidence, a West German vacuum cream-making machine (for toothpaste) at Factory No. 1 had aged severely and stopped working.

The remaining mechanics could only work overtime to repair it, but the original German-language instruction manual stumped them.

Jiang Wenyue smiled at Liu Chuxue: "Sister, let's go; this is our own factory, and every moment of delay costs money. Today, whether you have anything to do or not, you must go with me."

Liu Chuxue hadn't expected such a coincidence: "Alright, then I'll go with you to take a look, but I dare not guarantee whether I can be of any help."

As they talked, the two walked toward the bus stop; today their luck was good, and soon the bus they needed to take came along.

Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Wenyue told Liu Chuxue about the factory's recent situation: "The overall relocation has been completed, and production has gradually resumed; if these two second-hand machines can be repaired as soon as possible, our factory can still make a quick profit before the New Year."
