Chapter 1258 Xiao's Father Gets Beaten
With a secretary accompanying them, the procedures went very smoothly. Moreover, the secretary was quite perceptive, taking the person directly to the finance department before leaving.
The section chief seemed like a kind person. He led Xia Qiu around the office and pointed to two empty seats: "Choose one to sit in."
Chu Xue didn't go in; she waited outside the finance department the whole time.
Not long after, Xia Qiu was led out by a young girl: "Chu Xue, I'm going to the logistics department to collect welfare and office supplies."
Chu Xue smiled and nodded at the little girl, then looked at Xia Qiu: "So you're starting work already?"
Xia Qiu nodded gently: "Yes, I'll have to trouble you to go back to Mom's place and tell them to ask Auntie and Mom to look after Junjun for me. I'll tell them the details when I get back."
Seeing that she was adapting quite well, Chu Xue said, "Okay, then I'll be going now."
She was going to buy some things to take to the army.
Xia Qiu was a little worried and kept telling her to be careful on her way back. She watched her walk a long way before turning her gaze away.
The young girl who accompanied her to the logistics department to collect her labor insurance benefits and office supplies smiled and said, "You two sisters have such a good relationship."
Xia Qiu smiled and said, "Yes, my sister has always taken good care of me."
Upon hearing this, the girl had a question in her mind: Your sister has always taken good care of you, shouldn't it be you taking care of your sister?
However, she didn't pry into other people's business, and simply smiled and said, "That's good."
After leaving the textile factory, Chu Xue went to the department store and bought a lot of things. She saw some yarn that had been treated for dampness and bought quite a lot of it. Carrying large and small bags, she found a secluded place, and after confirming that it was safe, she put everything into her spatial storage.
Afterwards, he prepared some cookies that children could eat beforehand, then boarded the bus to go back to the Xiao family home.
As soon as he got off the bus, he saw Xiao's father, who had been beaten black and blue: "Dad, what happened to you?"
Mr. Xiao looked embarrassed and said evasively, "It's nothing. I had a little argument with a coworker, and then he impulsively started a fight."
The truth is, he didn't know how to tell his daughter.
Judging from his expression, Chu Xue knew that things were probably not simple: "You can't even tell me the truth?"
Seeing that Chuxue was staring at him, Xiao's father sighed and then began to explain: When he was promoted to team leader, a group of his coworkers insisted that he treat them to a meal, and he thought it was a happy occasion, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, after dinner, one of his coworkers said he would take him to play. When they arrived, he found out it was an underground gambling den. He wanted to leave as soon as he went in, but the coworker held him back and wouldn't let him leave. He even said that the stakes were low and egged him on to relax.
He couldn't resist the persuasion, and also because he was embarrassed, he started playing. Unexpectedly, he had good luck and won a few rounds, which made him quite happy.
He thought that was the end of it, but a few days later, his coworker invited him to come and play again. He didn't want to go, but his coworker dragged him there without saying a word. He had no choice but to be dragged into that place.
He thought that once he went in, he would stop playing, but he didn't expect that once he went in, he would have no choice but to play. He was assigned a seat and had no choice but to play. He won a few rounds at first, but then he had both wins and losses. In the end, he lost all the money in his pocket and even borrowed fifty yuan. If he hadn't secretly saved some money, he wouldn't know what to do.
From then on, he avoided seeing that coworker, but he didn't expect to be caught red-handed today. No matter what, Xiao's father refused to go again. As a result, several people came out of the alley and started fighting with him. Fortunately, a coworker passed by and helped him. When the other men saw that they were no match for him, they ran away.
