Lin Chuchu's eyes widened in disbelief. Was Liu Zixuan's achievement bought?

That's incredibly bold.

The woman was still dragged away by Liu Zixuan. The entire translation department was silent, and no one wanted to offend Old Song.

After an unknown amount of time, Old Song returned from the meeting, his face as black as ink.

"What are you looking at? You don't do any proper work every day, you just do crooked things. If anyone doesn't want to work here, get out."

Lin Chuchu shrank back, thinking, "Never mind, it's almost time to get off work, I shouldn't make them angry."

Back in her dorm, Lin Chuchu saw a woman standing at her door.

She asked curiously, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Lin Chuchu, and she grinned.

"Comrade Lin, I'm here to see you. Can we go inside and talk? It's a bit cold."

Lin Chuchu didn't say anything, but unlocked the door and let the person in.

The little house wasn't big, but it was decorated very cozyly. There was a radio on the table, and the rice jar still had plenty of rice.

Lin Chuchu lit the stove. "Big sister, please sit down. I'll boil some water in a bit."

The woman sat somewhat awkwardly on the only stool. "Comrade Lin, you don't need to bother. I'll leave after I finish speaking."

"Well, I wanted to ask you, you're seventeen this year, right? Do you have a boyfriend?"

Is this an invitation to introduce her to a potential partner?

Lin Chuchu smiled and said, "I'm only seventeen, I'm not in a hurry to find someone, and I don't plan to find someone right now."

She refused outright.

The woman immediately became anxious, "Comrade Lin, although you are still young, it's perfectly fine to get to know each other first and date for two years before getting married."

"Let me tell you, the person I'm introducing to you is a company commander. He's brought his mother with him to the army, and he's a little older than you, 25 this year. But older people tend to be more caring, right, Comrade Lin? Think it over carefully, doesn't that make sense?"

Lin Chuchu frowned. "I'm sorry, I really don't date."

Seeing that she seemed determined to linger, Lin Chuchu simply opened the door and ushered her out.

"Hey, you silly girl, all the men I introduce to you are good people. His name is..."

The door closed in front of her, nearly hitting the woman's nose.

The woman was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, cursing, "Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that you have a job, would anyone even want to be with you? An orphan with no family, I spit on you, and you think you're some kind of treasure?"

Just as she was getting into a tirade, the door suddenly opened, and Lin Chuchu looked over with a sinister gaze.

"Who did you say that company commander was?"

The woman chuckled, "I told you, he's a good man, his name is Wang Qiang."

Lin Chuchu muttered the name to herself, "Okay, I'll go ask their boss tomorrow. Is it even allowed to force people to date? I want to see what the boss has to say."

The woman's expression changed.

"Lin Chuchu, who forced you? They just want to date you."

"You can't date someone without considering their wishes, can you? We live in a society governed by law, how can there still be arranged marriages?"

Lin Chuchu spoke bluntly, and the door was closed again.

The woman standing outside the door cursed and swore, but dared not knock again, and could only slink away.

Many doors were ajar, and people were quietly listening to the commotion.

After the woman went back, she went around telling everyone that Lin Chuchu was ambitious, wanted to marry a high-ranking leader, and looked down on soldiers like them.

When Sister Wang found out, her face turned very ugly.

“I’m going to confront her. What kind of man is Wang Qiang? He’s a mama’s boy who only became a company commander because of his years of service. He also has a troublemaking mother. What good person would dare to marry him?”

Isn't this bullying?

Lin Chuchu grabbed her hand, "We can't go looking into this matter, otherwise it will only get more and more complicated. The best way is to handle it quietly."

Sister Wang's lips pressed into a straight line. "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

How could she just let it go like that? Unless they stop causing trouble, she would definitely find a way to get her revenge.

This incident definitely affected Lin Chuchu, with many people coming to ask her what happened and even to comfort her.

Lin Chuchu spoke calmly, so calmly that she didn't seem to care at all.

This matter passed quickly.

Liu Zixuan took a few days off, and when she came back, she handed out wedding candy everywhere; she was engaged.

She was wearing a bright red woolen coat and casually placed the wedding candies on Lin Chuchu's table.

"Here, please. I'm engaged. My fiancé is a regimental commander."

Lin Chuchu put the candy away and said "Congratulations" in a light tone.

Liu Zixuan's eyes were filled with anger. Then, as if remembering something, she snorted coldly, "I'm not like you, who doesn't even have a boyfriend. I heard someone wanted to introduce you to someone, a company commander? Let me give you a piece of advice: that's enough, stop being so picky."

How can a man who's worked his way up to platoon leader compare to her boyfriend? Haha, she loves to trample Lin Chuchu under her feet.

Lin Chuchu shrugged indifferently, "I have to work now, please leave."

Liu Zixuan snorted coldly, turned around and left. This person isn't very bright, all he knows is how to work, he's stubborn.

Hearing Old Song's familiar roar outside, Lin Chuchu slightly curled her lips.

Knowing that Lin Chuchu was in trouble, Mu Chen took a special leave to visit her.

Are you alright?

"What could possibly happen to me? Don't worry, no one can bully me."

Lin Chuchu said it was completely indifferent.

Mu Chen said in a low voice, "Although the situation outside is clear now, some people are still making a last-ditch effort. Your translation department is in the most danger, so don't make any mistakes."

Their unit has also run into trouble recently, with many people being investigated for alleged family members engaging in speculation and profiteering. He fears that Lin Chuchu might not be able to endure the hardship at this time and might take a risk.

Lin Chuchu knew she was worried about her. "Don't worry, I only go to work, go to the cafeteria, and go home every day. I won't go anywhere else, and I won't go out easily."
