Xu Keke successfully completed her previous mission and lived to a ripe old age, dying from natural organ failure.
Fortunately, Yun Sheng died before her, which relieved her of her worries and allowed her to face death with equanimity.
When she opened her eyes again, this time she was lying on a bed.
The gently swaying medicine bottle above her head reminded her that she was in a hospital.
Seeing that she was awake, the round-faced nurse came over and asked her softly, "Comrade, are you feeling better? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Seeing Xu Keke's confused expression, the nurse kindly explained to her,
"You fainted in the hospital lobby. Luckily, the colleague next to you reacted quickly and caught you. Otherwise, if you had fallen, it wouldn't have been as simple as getting an IV drip. You would have been in serious trouble if you had bumped or bruised yourself."
Xu Keke gave her a weak smile. She had no strength left in her body. "Nurse, what happened to me? Why did I faint?"
"You have low blood sugar. You should carry a few candies in your pocket from now on. Eat one if you feel dizzy. But you still need to rest more and eat more meat to make sure you get enough nutrition."
Seeing that she was awake, the nurse, worried that she might have moved around, carefully checked the injection site again. Only after confirming that everything was alright did she speak to Xu Keke.
"You'll need to continue for a while. This is the glucose you're receiving. If you need a sick leave slip, remember to ask me for it at the nurses' station by the door when you leave."
The nurse wasn't young; she looked to be in her thirties. She had a bright smile, and before leaving, she gave her another gentle smile. Then she went to the bed next to her.
Xu Keke closed her eyes and absorbed all of the original owner's memories.
The original owner of this body was a female worker in a leather shoe factory. Her name was Zeng Jin, and she was married. Her husband worked at the same factory. They had a son and a daughter.
She came to the hospital today because her husband was in a car accident a few days ago and was hospitalized. She came to deliver his lunch.
Unexpectedly, before the food was even delivered, the person collapsed in the hospital lobby.
The original owner died from overwork; he was not even thirty years old when he died. He was simply exhausted to death.
The original owner's request left Xu Keke speechless. She asked Xu Keke to help her raise her two children, which Xu Keke could understand.
Before the original owner died, their factory was merged into another factory because it failed to meet various standards.
Therefore, she hopes that Xu Keke can build their factory well and make their shoe factory a well-known enterprise both at home and abroad.
Xu Keke felt that this was going a bit too far.
The original owner's death from overwork was not without reason. Worrying too much can easily lead to an early death.
She's just an ordinary worker in the factory; isn't this level of awareness a bit too high?
You have to understand, this is an imitation of the late 1970s.
Don't tell me she's broke; even if she were, factories are all nationalized now. They belong to the state. She can't, and has no way of, buying the factory.
Since she doesn't own the factory, she doesn't have the right to operate it, and therefore she can't have the final say.
Can an ordinary female worker control the direction of a factory?
Xu Keke suddenly had an idea: if it doesn't work, just declare the mission a failure. She wondered what would happen if the mission failed.
The game mission requires her to complete five tasks in order to return to real life.
She has already completed two. If she fails on the third, can she go home?
But how to die is also a problem. She has never thought about what method would be best if she were to commit suicide.
The original owner of this body is now twenty-eight years old, and it has actually been less than three years since her death. Logically, she could have died after surviving three years.
But unfortunately, the original owner died from overwork.
In her view, the difficulty of letting her die from overwork and the difficulty of building the factory into a world-renowned mega-factory are about the same.
As Xu Keke was seriously considering the N ways to die, another nurse walked over.
"Comrade, I have something urgent to attend to. Could you help me pull this out first?"
Seeing that Xu Keke had started doing it herself, the nurse quickly pressed her hand down, but it was too late; Xu Keke had already pulled out the needle.
The nurse looked at her helplessly and tried to persuade her, "Are you really okay? Even though it's just glucose, it's best to finish the injection before you leave."
"I really have something to do, thank you."
Seeing how determined she was, the nurse knew she couldn't persuade her otherwise. She could only try to calm her down while putting away the IV drip.
"If you feel unwell, be sure to come to the hospital as soon as possible. Don't try to tough it out. Also, Nurse Chen has put your lunchbox on the table outside. Don't forget to take it when you leave."
Xu Keke nodded in agreement. Knowing that the original owner of this body was anemic, she didn't dare to sit up immediately. After a while, she was about to reach for the table next to her.
The nurse reached out and naturally helped her up, only letting go once she was seated comfortably.
The people here are very kind, and Xu Ke could feel that, which made her feel much better.
Reaching the doorway, Xu Keke picked up the aluminum lunchbox on the table, opened it, and took a look inside.
The rice inside was a dull, dark color, and had no rice aroma whatsoever. It was probably brown rice from last year.
Next to it was a limp, rotten clump of cabbage, clearly leftover from the previous day. The two slivers of meat mixed in with the cabbage looked particularly out of place because of their small quantity.
This was actually the original owner's lunch today.
The original owner's mother-in-law disliked the taste of food that had been heated in the factory's boiler. So she cooked fresh food every day, had the original owner go home at noon to pick it up, and then brought it to her husband.
So in the past, the original owner would eat lunch early at the factory every day at noon, then rush home, take the food prepared by her mother-in-law, and deliver it to the hospital.
Because of the tight schedule, she always had to rush back after dropping off the children.
She had a task at the factory today, so she arrived at the workshop at six o'clock in the morning and worked continuously for five hours.
Because of work, she was delayed and didn't have time to go home to get her meal.
She was worried that her husband would go hungry, so she brought her own lunchbox over first.
Xu Keke decisively closed the lunchbox and took it upstairs.
The inpatient department was on the left side of the second floor. Xu Keke glanced at the clock hanging on the white wall and smiled.
She looked out the window in the corridor. Sure enough, a young woman in a dark blue tweed suit, carrying a lunchbox, walked gracefully into the hospital.
Xu Keke turned and went into the ward.
In the hospital room, the original owner's husband, Song Lin, was sitting on the bed. When he saw Xu Keke enter, he put the book he was holding on the small table next to him.
On the hospital bed near the door lay a young man who called out to Xu Keke, "Sister-in-law!"
He said in a strange, mocking voice, "Coming to deliver food to Brother Song so late..."
Xu Keke gave him a cold sidelong glance and ignored him.
His name is Du Yi. He's the factory manager's nephew. This accident happened because he was distracted while driving, and it also killed Song Lin, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
