Chapter 1394 He's really got greedy.

Chu Xue had no objection, after all, the price was fair, and she had no intention of asking for an exorbitant price: "I knew that Vice Minister Zhao was a fair person. Okay, let's do it your way."

After saying that, Chu Xue coughed lightly; "Um, Vice Minister Zhao, I have a small request."

Vice Minister Zhao seemed a little anxious and gestured for her to speak.

Chu Xue was a little embarrassed: "I didn't tell my husband I was going out today. I was planning to go back before lunch, but if I go to the steel mill, I'll probably miss the bus back to the army before noon. After I finish my business, could you ask the steel mill to send a car to take me there?"

Upon hearing about this matter, Vice Minister Zhao immediately made the decision: "No problem."

After Chu Xue left in the Ministry of Machine Building's car, Vice Minister Zhao immediately called the steel rolling mill upon returning to his office: "Look what you've done! You were perfectly fine employees, but you had to cause trouble. Now you've got to pay extra for asking for help. Prepare fifty yuan and some receipts."

What could Director Zheng do? He could only listen to his superior's reprimand: "I understand, I understand. It was indeed our fault for not doing our job well. We will definitely learn from this lesson and will not make these kinds of basic mistakes again."

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but think to myself, "What did I do to deserve this? I always have to take the blame for the mess my ex left behind. It's so unfair."

He summoned his secretary and instructed her, "Go to the finance department and withdraw fifty yuan, and prepare some receipts as well."

The secretary looked bewildered and asked, "How many receipts should we prepare?"

Factory Director Zheng thought for a moment: "Prepare a few more meat coupons, sugar coupons, and industrial vouchers. Just don't be too stingy. I heard that Comrade Xiao Chuxue is pregnant. She should be able to use these coupons. We should leave a good impression, because we might need her help someday."

The secretary nodded: "Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."

The vehicle from the Ministry of Machinery Industry drove directly into the factory, and Director Zheng waited for them after receiving the call.

Chu Xue was surprised to run into Duan Ruirui as soon as she got off the car: "Ruirui."

"First Snow, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to take care of some business. Where are you going?"

Duan Ruirui stammered, "Um, I'm going out to meet someone."

Seeing her like this, Chu Xue asked, "Did my cousin come looking for you?"

Duan Ruirui smiled and said, "Yes, he just called and said he was on a field trip and happened to be passing by, so he brought me a cream cake."

After saying that, she blushed immediately.

Chu Xue laughed and said, "It seems my cousin has finally figured it out. Alright, alright, you go quickly so as not to keep him waiting."

As Duan Ruirui walked out, she said, "Come find me later, and we'll have lunch together."

Chu Xue refused: "Not today. I have to go back to the army after I finish my business. You should go now."

The two parted ways, and Chu Xue went straight upstairs towards the factory office.

Director Chen and Deputy Factory Director Gu were already waiting there.

In his haste, Director Chen blurted out, "Oh dear, you've finally arrived!"

Chu Xue laughed and said, "I didn't delay at all."

Deputy Factory Director Gu nodded to her and explained the situation: "Miss Anna said that as long as you come to make contact, Chuxue, thank you so much."

She had a personal relationship with the Gu family, so she spoke casually: "It's not that troublesome, after all, the factory will pay me, so I won't lose out."

The group was walking towards the office while talking when someone said, "It's just a phone call, and you're asking the factory for payment? You're really obsessed with money."
