Chapter 81

Kong Yizhang frowned upon hearing this: "This is indeed a problem."

In the past, one could simply go to the school and ask those professors for help, but now, those proficient in foreign languages have likely all been sent to the countryside. Even if any escaped, they turn pale at the mere mention of foreign texts; it's unlikely anyone would want to touch this matter.

Since getting in the car and exchanging a few pleasantries, Chuxue had not spoken again. Hearing them discuss translation, she had a mind to ask if she could help them, but thinking of the original owner's education and background, she decided it was better not to invite trouble for herself.

In her previous life, she had truly given her all for her work; not only was she proficient in the languages of six countries, but she had also learned many local dialects, which was why she had reached a high position at such a young age. Who would have thought that after listening to her best friend and going for a ride on a glider, she would end up in these arduous times.

Sigh, she couldn't think about it; the more she thought, the more her heart ached.

She didn't even know if her mother, who lived alone and beautifully, would be sad or happy upon learning she was gone. If sad, it was because she was her only child; if happy, it was because she was gone and would no longer be subject to spending limits.

As for the assets she left behind, as long as her mother wasn't too extravagant, it should be enough for her retirement.

Forget it, don't think about it. Since she was here, she would make the best of it; she was Liu Chuxue now.

Soon, the car entered the city.

Liu Chuxue consciously spoke up: "Comrade Kong, if it's not on your way, you can just drop me off up ahead; I can walk the rest of the way."

She was afraid of delaying their work, though this sounded a bit "green tea" (insincere/manipulative).

Just as she was thinking of salvaging the comment, she heard Kong Yizhang say: "It's fine, it won't take long. As it happens, I have business at the hospital too."

Arriving at the hospital entrance, Chuxue got out of the car. After all, she had told Mother Liu she was going to the moat today, so she couldn't just go up like that. Besides, she had just agreed with Director Zhang yesterday, and it wouldn't be good to break her word today.

However, she wasn't in a hurry to catch a ride, but went to the canteen instead: "Director Zhang, it's like this: I heard people say that the human-powered tricycles parked in the shed belong to our canteen."

Director Zhang immediately guessed her intention and blurted out: "Did you catch fish?"

Liu Chuxue nodded guiltily: "Yes, it's mainly because they are hard to transport, so I thought I'd come back to borrow a vehicle. I don't know if that's possible."

Director Zhang glanced into the courtyard: "Logically speaking, it's not allowed; those tricycles are valuable property. But since you were recommended by the Head Nurse and it's to deliver fish to our canteen, I'll lend you the vehicle. You must look after it well; you cannot lose it."

Liu Chuxue quickly promised: "Director, don't worry. Even if I get lost, I won't lose the tricycle."

Seeing her quirky and clever appearance, a smile appeared on Director Zhang's face.

After getting the key, Liu Chuxue went to the shed.

She had thought that since she could ride a bicycle and a motorcycle, this tricycle should be a piece of cake.

But she never expected it would almost make her have a breakdown.

It was clearly a straight road, but after she got on, the vehicle wouldn't obey her control and stubbornly veered to one side.

This journey was truly heart-stopping; several times, passersby had to help pull the vehicle back onto the road, which made her feel very embarrassed.

Fortunately, by the time she was close to her destination, she had finally mastered the technique.

Although she still wasn't riding it very smoothly, at least it wouldn't veer off course anymore.

Today, she didn't go to the usual place, as Master Xiao and the others often frequented that area. She found a spot that was rarely visited and cast her line.
