Chen Ruixue originally planned to eat in the cafeteria before making the call, but seeing Liu Xuemei following behind her with such a pitiful look, she hesitated.

Now that she has a child, her maternal instincts have been immediately aroused.

I had no choice but to tell Liu Xuemei.

"Factory manager, let's go to your office and use the phone."

Liu Xuemei was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect that Chen Ruixue would not go to the cafeteria to eat, but instead wanted to make a phone call for her first.

"Why don't you eat first?"

Actually, she wanted Chen Ruixue to call earlier so she would have a better understanding of the situation.

But he's not a heartless person after all.

"Never mind, the child is more important. Let's make a phone call first. I can come back and eat later."

Hearing this, Liu Xuemei felt a surge of warmth in her heart; this person had delayed their mealtime for their child.

How could she not know what the food in the cafeteria is like?

We arrived too late.

There wasn't even a bowl of soup.

"How about this? I'll have someone get you some food, and we can eat in the office while we make the call."

How could we mistreat Chen Ruixue? After all, she was busy with her own child's affairs.

Before Chen Ruixue could resist, he snatched the lunchbox from her hand, just in time to see Xiao Wu passing by.

"Xiao Wu, go get me a serving of vegetables and a serving of rice, and bring them to my office."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu's face lit up with a fawning smile. The man in front of him was the manager of a chicken farm.

Why not take advantage of the opportunity to curry favor with the factory manager?

They ran off happily to get their food.

Chen Ruixue followed Liu Xuemei to the factory director's office, which was the only place with a telephone.

I dialed Xiao Liu's number.

Who is Xiao Liu?

That is, the only vice president, Vice President Liu.

This young Liu is the same young man who followed Ouyang Zhenyu all the way from an ordinary internal medicine doctor to the vice president position he holds today.

Xiao Liu is considered Ouyang Zhenyu's first apprentice, and a very successful example of Ouyang Zhenyu's training.

That's just Liu's personality; there's nothing you can do about it, he's just a nice guy.

But since Xiao Liu is now the vice president of the hospital, we definitely have to ask him about finding medicine.

Chen Ruixue considered it carefully before deciding not to call Gu Tinghui. If she had called Gu Tinghui, he could have adjusted the medicine, but that would have been too much of a fuss.

When Gu Tinghui, a regimental commander, needed to adjust the medication, people would definitely ask what had happened in the unit.

When she explained the situation to Vice President Liu, he told her he would call her back in an hour.

After all, even Vice President Liu didn't know which drugs were currently in short supply or which drugs the hospital still had in stock.

Only someone in the pharmacy department could give Chen Ruixue an answer.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuemei sat there with tears welling up in her eyes.

Just then, someone knocked on the office door.

"Factory manager, Factory manager Liu, I've brought you your meal."

We're having one meat dish and one vegetable dish today. We're having stir-fried shredded potatoes and stir-fried pork belly with cabbage.

I also gave you four ounces of rice.

Xiao Wu carefully carried the lunchbox in and placed it directly on the table in front of Liu Xuemei.

"The factory manager said, 'It's still warm. I brought it over wrapped in a towel. Don't worry, you can eat it while it's hot.'"

To everyone's surprise, Liu Xuemei casually took the lunchbox and placed it directly in front of Chen Ruixue.

"Xiao Chen, eat up. It's a meat dish and a vegetable dish, still warm. Xiao Wu really put his heart into it."

Xiao Wu was a little dumbfounded.

"Factory manager, this..."

I worked so hard, and this meal is for the factory manager, all because of this meal.

I almost walked sideways in the cafeteria.

She had been using Liu's authority to her advantage for a long time, telling others that Director Liu had told her to get the food.

He was so picky with the chef that he kept nitpicking until the chef was furious.

She picked out most of the pork belly from the rice bowl, much to the dismay of the others.

As a result, the delicious food he had painstakingly curried favor with ended up in the hands of his arch-enemy.

Seeing Xiao Wu's hesitant look, Director Liu immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly took out meal tickets and vegetable tickets from his pocket and stuffed them into Xiao Wu's hand.

"Come on, Xiao Wu, here are your meal tickets and your groceries tickets. Thank you for your help today."

Xiao Wu was so angry he was practically fuming.

You know, I picked out so much pork belly for the stir-fried cabbage.

As a result, Chen Ruixue benefited.

"Factory manager, no need, no need. How could I accept your meal tickets and food coupons? Besides, this is for Xiao Chen, how could I let you pay for it?"

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she thought she could use this method to make the factory manager feel that he was thinking of her.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuemei's face darkened.

"Xiao Wu, I said I'd pay, so I'll pay. This meal was my treat for Xiao Chen."

Because of me, Xiao Chen missed her meal, so it's not right for me to treat her to a meal.

Okay, take your meal tickets and head back now, don't let them delay your meal.

This is clearly an attempt to kick people out.

Xiao Wu was so angry that his lips were trembling. He had no choice but to accept the meal tickets and walk out.

She can curry favor with anyone, so she refuses to believe that she can't deal with Chen Ruixue.

We'll see.

Chen Ruixue never expected that such a trivial matter would cause Xiao Wu to hate her again.

When Chen Ruixue opened her lunchbox and saw the pork belly, she immediately covered her mouth and ran outside to vomit.

Liu Xuemei picked up the lunchbox and smelled it. The pork belly smelled really good; it tasted delicious.

Why did you vomit this perfectly fine stuff?

He said, somewhat awkwardly,

"Xiao Chen, I...I...is it because you have a sensitive stomach? Should I get you something else to eat?"

"Factory manager, this has nothing to do with you. It's just that I'm pregnant, so I'm having some symptoms."

This can't be kept secret for long; she's almost two months pregnant now, and her belly will start to show soon.

Chen Ruixue knew that she couldn't keep pushing chicken manure for more than a few days.

She was worried about hurting the child if she continued, so she was also taking this opportunity to clarify the situation.

Upon hearing this, Liu Xuemei stared at her flat stomach in surprise, then immediately realized what she meant.

"Oh my god, you're pregnant? Why didn't you tell me about something this big beforehand?"

Liu Xuemei broke out in a cold sweat when she thought about the job Chen Ruixue was doing now.

"Factory manager, I didn't want to wait until the child was settled before telling you, nor did I want to be a burden to everyone, and I didn't want to appear unenthusiastic and be criticized by others."

Thinking about what happened to Chen Ruixue, Liu Xuemei naturally knew that even she didn't like these people who had been sent down to the countryside, let alone the regular employees in the factory.

"Alright, don't worry about this anymore. I'll take care of the rest. You can't do this job anymore, I'll find you an easier one."

Whether it's because someone helped you or because you took care of the pregnant woman yourself.

Chen Ruixue's job will inevitably have to be changed.

Chen Ruixue hesitated for a moment, feeling that it didn't matter whether she changed this chicken manure job or not.

But my older brother's job cleaning women's restrooms in the sanitation team had to be changed.
