Chapter 705: Having Connections in the Capital Makes Things Easier

Before Liu Chuxue left, she had explained the situation to the section chief and promised not to neglect her work.

Accompanying Zhao Dujuan to the dormitory and finding her bed: "I have a basin there; I'll go fetch some water, wipe the spot, and then make the bed."

While speaking, she pointed to the table in the dormitory: "Put your things on the table; holding them is quite tiring."

Liu Chuxue soon returned carrying a basin of water.

After Zhao Dujuan took it: "Cousin, I'll do the cleaning; you hurry back to work. By the time you get off, I should be finished."

Liu Chuxue glanced at the watch on her wrist, then looked around the dormitory: "Alright, I'll go back to work first. Once you're done, rest for a while. I'll call you to go eat together after my shift; we can talk about anything else later."

Zhao Dujuan felt much more at ease now; not only had she settled down, but she had also found family, filling her with hope for the future.

When Liu Chuxue returned to the office, Wang Minmin immediately came over: "Is that girl really your cousin?"

While taking out the ledger, Liu Chuxue also returned the abacus on the desk to its place: "Yes, it has been verified; she is indeed my cousin."

"That Miss is truly pitiful, but with your family connection and now having a job, she has managed to get through it."

Liu Chuxue said nothing, merely nodding.

Having already taken leave twice before, she did not want to disturb everyone's work with her personal matters again: "Sister Minmin, I'll get busy for now; we can chat later."

Wang Minmin nodded and returned to her seat; soon the office was filled with the sound of clicking abacuses as everyone got to work.

On the other side, the mother and daughter who had returned home: "Mom, what do we do now? If I don't get a job, I'll have to go to the countryside?"

"Don't even think about her job. The factory leaders made it clear today; if we cause trouble again, we might implicate your father, and then neither of us will have a good outcome."

"It's all that dead girl Dujuan's fault. If not for her, I would have started work long ago. She ruined me and made me lose my job, yet she managed to pass the exam for a permanent position. I can't swallow this."

Watching Zhao Lulu curse and mutter, Jiang Suqing suddenly felt she was probably wrong; she had noticed something suspicious and should have spoken up to switch the children back, but what had she done?

Thinking of the words Liu Chuxue had said, she couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing Zhao Lulu still spewing curses, she said impatiently: "Enough, say a few less words."

Before she could think of a solution, the door was pushed open: "Dabiao, why are you back at this time?"

Wang Dabiao's face darkened: "I heard you two caused trouble at the factory again today?"

Hearing him say this, Jiang Suqing quickly stood up to explain: "Lulu just wanted to..."

Before she could finish, Wang Dabiao interrupted: "I don't care what you're thinking. From now on, don't take every damn thing to the factory. It's only been a short while since the last incident, and you've caused trouble again. You two can just walk away, but I still have to clean up your mess."

He had been dozing in his office when the director of the neighboring second workshop came over: "Old Wang, stop dozing; your wife and the fake stepdaughter are causing trouble at the factory again."

His sleepiness vanished instantly: "Where are they causing trouble?"

Just as he was about to rush over to stop them, he heard the director of the second workshop say: "It's already over; going there now won't help. However, the factory director and Deputy Director Gu saw it today, and both looked very unhappy. Later, you'd better talk to them seriously; don't let them bring every issue to the factory, or one day they might ruin your future."

Hearing this, he was naturally furious, thinking that once he got home after work, he would definitely give them a good beating.

But who would have thought that afterwards, people from his own workshop kept coming without stopping, most of them intending to mock him, which made him so angry he nearly fainted.

Seeing a continuous stream of people still coming to discuss the matter with him, he simply couldn't take it anymore and had to find an excuse to inform his superiors, leaving work early to return home.

Who would have thought this woman still hadn't realized the severity of the situation and was trying to bluff her way through: "Where is Dujuan?"

Zhao Lulu then pretended to be pitiful: "Dad, I grew up under your watch; you must stand up for me. If not for her interference, I would have started work at the factory long ago. She must compensate me."
