Chapter 1397 It's quite difficult to do some good deeds
Chu Xue smiled modestly upon hearing the praise: "Because I have a friend like Miss Anna, I naturally have to put in more effort, and this is exactly what I've come in handy."
Miss Anna on the other end of the phone laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Yes, we are friends."
After a fairly thorough discussion, Chuxue naturally steered the conversation toward orders. Anna was quite agreeable; of course, she wouldn't compromise on her due interests, but she didn't make things difficult for the steel mill either. The deal was quickly settled.
After hanging up the phone, Director Zheng and his team were also surprised: "Chuxue, were you speaking Italian just now?"
Chu Xue nodded gently: "Yes, before I could only communicate simply. But since I came back from the Canton Fair, I felt that I should learn more to arm myself, because I never know when I might need it. And look, I actually did."
She dared not elaborate, since there were no conditions available for learning Italian at the moment, and these things couldn't withstand scrutiny if someone were to look into them. She also didn't want to cause herself any trouble.
Anyway, the college entrance examination will be reinstated in another year, and then who will care how many languages you know or where you learned them?
After finishing her business, Chu Xue didn't linger. She took her due payment, got into the steel mill's vehicle, and headed towards the army base.
Halfway there, she suddenly had a brilliant idea. This was the perfect opportunity. As she approached the grove where she had previously stored watermelons, she feigned difficulty and said, "Excuse me, driver, could you please stop up ahead? I need to use the restroom."
Even though she was from the future, saying these words to a man at this moment still made her blush.
The driver glanced back and, seeing her large belly, remembered that his wife had indeed been going to the toilet frequently in the later stages of her pregnancy, and the doctor had said it was normal. So he completely misunderstood and said, "Okay."
When we got off the bus after the first snowfall, the driver kindly said, "Be careful."
Chu Xue responded and walked deeper into the woods.
The driver assumed she was just embarrassed and didn't think much of it. Instead, he gentlemanly lit a cigarette and looked in the other direction.
When Chu Xue walked to the house where she had stored watermelons before, she saw that there were still traces of the past, and she felt relieved.
It was during that visit that I learned from the driver who had been hauling watermelons that day that since the project was completed and the workers left, very few people had come here. I casually asked and found out that someone had died here, and the locals were quite superstitious about it, so they restricted their children from playing in the woods here.
Over time, no one really came this way anymore.
After entering the courtyard, she went to the most dilapidated house. There was a partitioned room inside that house, and even if someone came, they probably wouldn't go in. She put her things in there, and she should be fine for a while.
She put all the things she had looted from the basement of Qi Shufang's lover Yao Qidong's residence, as well as the things she had looted from the homes of several people associated with him, there. Most importantly, she also put the half-sheet map on the parchment into one of the small boxes. This thing was useless to her, so she should hand it over to the higher-ups. Maybe someone with the ability could decipher it.
After putting the things away, they left the woods.
When the driver saw her return, he quickly started the car.
After getting in the car, Chu Xue kept thinking about how to tell Fu Yancheng about this. Although few people come to this place, what if it's just a coincidence? If someone beat her to it, she'd probably be furious.
They were almost at the entrance of the family compound, and she still didn't have a very reasonable reason. Just as she was getting out of the car with a frown, she saw the little actions of a few children not far ahead and suddenly had an idea.
It's quite difficult to do good deeds.
