Chapter 579: This Time We Really Benefited From Your Light

~4 min read 681 words

Thinking about this business trip, her workload was the lightest, mainly coordinating with the Sales Section and Logistics.

Once those few matters were handled, she would be free; at that time, she could even go out and stroll by herself.

What she hadn't expected was that Zhang Chunsheng was also efficient; by noon, everything was settled.

After lunch, Chuxue went with him to the Finance Section; in less than an hour, all accounts were reconciled, waiting only for the Harbin side to handle the corporate transfer at the bank.

Chuxue's skilled use of the abacus made her even more famous.

After they left, the veteran accountants began praising her in various ways: "No wonder she was sent over at such a young age to join the team on this trip; it turns out she has real ability."

"I heard the engineer from the Beijing side stayed up all night last night and fixed the malfunctioning machine; truly remarkable."

"You don't know this, do you? Being able to fix it so quickly, the accountant Liu who just left deserves a great deal of credit."

"Isn't she an accountant? What does fixing machines have to do with her?"

"I heard the translation of the manual the factory received was wrong; they struggled for a long time with no success. Factory Director Guo brought the original German manual, but no one could translate it accurately. It was the engineer Wang from Beijing who suggested letting the accountant Xiao Liu try."

"As a result, she not only translated it, but I heard she also pointed out another error based on the German translation; she really did a huge favor for our factory."

A sister nearby, who usually loved to argue with people, made a "Tch" sound: "You think she was just helping? Factory Director Guo sent a payment slip early this morning; that means she is to be paid."

"What you say is wrong; she put in labor, isn't it right to receive payment? Besides, I heard someone went to the guesthouse in the middle of the night to fetch her, and she went without a second word."

"Look at what you're saying; going along meant a reward of two hundred yuan; of course she would go."

"Why is talking to you so difficult? The machine has been broken for so many days; the factory leaders are stressed over it. Why don't you go solve the problem?"

"Are you deliberately arguing with me? If I had the skill, would it have fallen to her?"

"Exactly, you aren't stupid either. The foreign experts the factory hired before—when was it ever that they were sent off with just two hundred yuan? They were fed and treated well, yet the machine wouldn't be fixed in ten or half a month. Why don't you say anything about that?"

For a moment, silence fell in the office so heavy a pin could be heard dropping.

Chuxue didn't know this, because she had even caused an internal argument among everyone.

But even if she knew, she would probably only say: See, the eyes of the masses are clear, but there are always those who can't stand others doing well and pretend to be crazy just to seek attention.

Originally, Wang Changzheng said they might have to stay in Harbin for at least three or four days, but they solved the most difficult matter on the first day; the remaining tasks were not so urgent.

The matters at the Sales Section were all settled in one day; only Sister Jiang's procurement matters for Logistics remained.

However, when Sister Jiang returned in the evening, she was in a good mood, obviously having made progress: "Chuxue, we have discussed most of it today. Tomorrow, come with us. If things go smoothly and we verify the amount, you can notify the factory to make the payment."

Chuxue didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Before she could ask, she heard Sister Jiang say: "This time, we really benefited from your light."

Chuxue was completely confused, pointed at herself, and asked with a suspicious look: "Me?"
