Chapter 581: Immediately Backed Out

At this moment, Sister Jiang raised her hand and said, "Anyway, there's a bus going that way, and Chuxue and I also want to go along for a look."

Wang Changzheng heard her words, his expression becoming hard to describe, but seeing that they insisted on going: "Going is fine, but let me say this in advance: all the roads over there are dirt roads, and the road conditions aren't very good; you must keep that in mind."

After all, last time he went with a comrade from the factory's procurement section, he almost got shaken off the vehicle.

Before Sister Jiang could reply: "Moreover, you won't be able to return tomorrow night; the one-way trip alone takes over eight hours. If you go along, you won't be able to come back until later."

Chuxue didn't expect to ride for so long and immediately backed out.

Sister Jiang also now had second thoughts: "If the ride takes so long, then let's forget it. I'd better finish the procurement task first. If I'm not here and something happens that I can't handle in time, causing problems with the procurement task, my guilt would be enormous."

After speaking, she looked at Chuxue.

Chuxue also said, "Then I won't go either."

She had thought that once Worker Wang and the others left, as long as Sister Jiang's procurement task was settled, the remaining time would be free, and she could have a free trip.

After discussing the work matters, the group headed toward the canteen.

When they arrived, the factory director and his party had just arrived as well; after some pleasantries, the two sides took their seats.

Deputy Factory Director Guo smiled at Chuxue and said, "Comrade Liu, the translation fee we discussed earlier has been approved. Tomorrow morning, I'll have Clerk Zhang take you to the finance chief to sign and collect the money."

Chuxue nodded with a smile: "Good, thank you very much."

Deputy Director Guo waved his hand and said, "If anyone should be thanked, it's us thanking you. Without your help re-translating, plus Worker Wang working overtime, how could we have started work smoothly today?"

The factory director also wore a beaming smile: "Let's not speak empty pleasantries. I thank Worker Wang for taking time out of his busy schedule to help us solve the breakdown, and I thank everyone present. I've asked the kitchen to prepare special dishes to treat everyone; please eat and drink well."

During the meal, there was much mutual flattery, and everyone, host and guest alike, was delighted.

The next day, after breakfast, Clerk Zhang came to find her, took her to the finance section, and after signing, she smoothly collected the translation fee of two hundred yuan.

After coming out, Clerk Zhang handed her an envelope: "This is a reward from the factory director and Factory Director Guo; I hope you like it."

Now Chuxue truly felt embarrassed; she had just collected the fee, and taking their reward as well felt somewhat too greedy: "This isn't right, wasn't the fee already given?"

Clerk Zhang directly stuffed the envelope into Chuxue's hands: "Take it. You did the factory a great favor; this is a small token of appreciation from the two factory directors. I hope you don't mind."

Chuxue accepted it but did not open it: "Thank them for me."

After the two parted, Chuxue had just reached outside the guesthouse when she saw Sister Jiang and Mi Aijun waiting there: "When did you two come out?"

Sister Jiang smiled and said, "We just came out too. Are you going upstairs?"

Chuxue had long ago stowed the items in her spatial dimension, using her shoulder bag as cover: "No need to go upstairs; let's go now."

Not long after they left the factory, they boarded a bus.

Only then did Chuxue use her willpower to enter the spatial dimension and look at the contents of the envelope.

As expected of a leader, they are truly generous: one bicycle ticket, one radio ticket—both valid nationwide—and several local sugar tickets, grain tickets, cigarette tickets, and industrial coupons; truly sent straight to the heart.
