Chapter 577: If You Dislike It, Just Confront It Directly
Sister Jiang looked at Chuxue with admiration, and in a place others couldn't see, gave Chuxue a direct thumbs-up.
After they left the workshop, she whispered to Chuxue, "Sister, you're truly amazing; it takes someone with book smarts. When I get back, I'll definitely urge those rascals at home to study hard."
Chuxue laughed upon hearing her say "rascals": "You've only been in the Northeast for a day and already learned the Northeast dialect?"
Sister Jiang laughed instead: "You're mistaken there. My husband's ancestral home is in Jisheng Province. Although his accent has changed over the years, those words haven't."
Clerk Zhang, having listened to their conversation all the way, escorted them back to the guesthouse: "Comrades, I won't go up."
Sister Jiang waved at him with a smile: "Thank you for bringing us back; go get busy."
The front desk staff saw the two return: "You're back; go up quickly. The morning air is still a bit cool."
The two exchanged greetings and headed upstairs.
Once in the room, Chuxue took off her clothes and said, "Sister Jiang, I can't go on; I need a nap to avoid mistakes during the day."
The two from the Sales Department had already briefed her yesterday; they would finalize the deal this morning, and then it would be up to her. She needed to keep her mind clear; this was her first business trip, and she couldn't make any mistakes.
Sister Jiang smiled: "Fine, we'll do it together; I haven't had enough sleep either."
The two exchanged a smile and quickly stripped and got into bed.
That nap lasted until past eight; the two were awakened by knocking. Chuxue raised her hand to check the time and, with sleepy eyes, said, "Hey, it's already eight oh five."
She then looked at Sister Jiang on the adjacent bed: "Time to get up."
Sister Jiang had no habit of lying in bed; hearing the knocking, she stretched and sat up: "Yes, once they finish today, they'll accompany me out to handle some business."
The reason Logistics sent someone to accompany them this time was because they had a procurement mission.
While dressing, Chuxue said, "Sister Jiang, I'll go with you then."
She had already decided: since coming here wasn't easy, she naturally had to get some local species into her space; she didn't know if she could even get ginseng seeds.
Also, if possible, she would sell some of her own items; after all, they would just pack up and leave in a few days. Even if someone got suspicious, they couldn't trace it back to her.
Hmm, just thinking about exchanging items from her space for money instantly cleared her mind.
After quickly washing up, she met the two from the Sales Department downstairs.
Just as they left the guesthouse, they ran into Wang Changzheng and Qiu Shaohua returning.
Zhang Chunsheng saw Wang Changzheng's exhausted face: "Engineer Wang, did you pull an all-nighter?"
Qiu Shaohua spoke first: "Of course; we were racing against time to help them fix the machine breakdown."
After speaking, he glanced at Chuxue, intentionally or not.
This made Chuxue feel sick: "'You'? You actually dare to use that word. Did you fix the machine breakdown, or did you even find it? You really know how to plaster gold on your face."
Those words directly angered Qiu Shaohua: "What do you mean?"
Sister Jiang knew this person; relying on his backing from the Ministry of Industry, he had bullied his way around the factory many times. Fearing he might trouble Chuxue later, she interjected: "In the middle of the night, Factory Director Guo sent someone to invite Chuxue to the workshop to help translate the manual content; we never saw you."
She stopped there, not mentioning that he had been dozing in the corner the whole time, which was leaving him some face. The implied meaning was: Don't look for trouble with us, or we'll give you a good publicity campaign back at the factory.
