Chapter 630: Stealing Food from the Patient Mess

This set everyone buzzing, and they all chimed in at once, recounting what had just happened.

The woman from earlier also recounted what she'd run into a few days prior: "Leader, if this isn't dealt with, there's no telling she won't pull the same trick again. It's not easy for any household to come up with something good, and besides, this whole business is just too sickening."

The cafeteria leader, hearing this, didn't look too pleased either: "Does anyone recognize that woman?"

Everyone shook their heads, saying they didn't know her.

Still, they all did remember what the woman looked like.

Seeing Liu Chuxue stepped forward at this point: "Leader, could you get a sheet of white paper? I'll help draw a sketch."

The main reason was that she herself had just gotten a clear look at the woman's face, so she could draw it without anyone having to describe it.

Soon the paper was brought over.

Seeing Liu Chuxue found a stick by the door, then stuck it into the stove fire and burned it for a while before taking it out.

Without needing anyone to describe her, she quickly drew out the woman's likeness on her own.

The crowd that had gathered saw the portrait she'd drawn, and someone spoke up in praise: "It's really drawn so lifelike."

The female comrade from earlier looked at Seeing Liu Chuxue: "Miss, what should I call you?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue smiled and said: "My name is Liu Chuxue."

"Sister Chuxue, you draw so well, it's just like the real person."

The cafeteria leader, upon seeing the portrait, recognized the person at once: "I'll report this matter to the higher-ups, and we'll definitely give everyone an answer."

After saying that, the cafeteria leader left with a grave face, taking the portrait with him.

After finishing up work at the next place over, he took the portrait and went upstairs to find the director.

After all, he was afraid that aside from the director, no one else would bother with this matter.

He gave the door a light knock and heard from inside: "Come in."

Only then did he push the door open and walk in.

The person inside saw him come in: "Old Du, what brings you here at this hour?"

Old Du held up the portrait in his hand: "Just take a look at this and you'll understand."

Duan Hongguang, after clearly seeing the portrait slapped on the desk: "Where did this come from? How did you draw Director Hu's mother-in-law?"

Old Du sat down directly in the chair opposite: "This person went over to the patient kitchen again today causing trouble, sneaking a sip of someone else's fish soup, and got caught red-handed. And this isn't the first time it's happened."

"What? Stealing food from the patient kitchen?"

Old Du nodded heavily: "If I hadn't gotten there in time today, those family members would've been ready to head back to the unit and file a complaint. How do you think we should handle this?"

Director Duan was quite angry, and shouted toward the door: "Xiao Li, Xiao Li."

A young fellow hurried in: "Director, what is it?"

"Go get Director Hu over here."

The young fellow acknowledged, then turned and headed out.

Before long, someone walked in: "Director, you wanted to see me?"

Director Duan beckoned the newcomer over: "Sit down and take a look at this."

Director Hu, upon seeing the portrait, had his previously smiling face darken at once: "Director, what is this?"

Even as he asked the question aloud, a bad premonition had already risen in his heart.

Then he heard Director Duan say: "She went over to the patient kitchen and stole a sip of someone else's stewed chicken soup, and got caught red-handed by the rightful owner. And it's not the first time she's done this. The worst part is, even after being caught, she refused to admit it, and even said she was just helping them taste it to see if it was done?"

"The fallout from this is really bad. If Old Du hadn't rushed over in time, this would've been reported to the unit ages ago."

Director Hu's expression was very awkward: "Director, don't worry. I'll deal with this when I get off work and head home. Where we owe an apology, we'll apologize; where we owe compensation, we'll compensate. Whatever it takes to make it right, we won't have a single word of complaint."

That's what he said, but in his heart he was thinking: this time he must have his wife send the person away, otherwise this family would fall apart sooner or later.
