When she first went to study, she was taught by Accountant Xu. When it came to accounting and classification, she used the methods from her previous life, so everything was clear. At the time, Accountant Xu praised her talent in this area.
After the accident, she never went to the General Administration again. However, because of her idea, Gu Baoshan came up with a plan, which was finally brought over by the Railway General Administration.
Ji Ling thought about this and waited for Director Cheng to finish before she spoke, "Director Cheng, Senior Gu Baoshan is over there, right? We studied together back then, didn't he come up with a plan? That will do, right?"
"Xiao Gu is still young. Although he has come up with a good plan, there are still many problems when he puts it into practice. Now the accounts are in a mess. I also want to hear Accountant Xu say that you sorted them out very well when you came here to study. You can sort out the old accounts. You don't have to be modest. If you don't have this ability, I wouldn't come to you today." Cheng Weixing smiled kindly, "The teacher often praises you for being smart and capable, and I believe the teacher too."
After that, he asked Xu Yihua beside him, "Accountant Xu, what do you think?"
After Xu Yihua entered the room, she had not spoken a word except for greeting. When she was called, she smiled and said, "Xiaoling's ability is obvious to all. She is a rare talent. Xiaoling, it was Director Cheng and I who mentioned you this time. Your wife is in the northwest, and there happened to be a mess in the accounts there. I thought you might be there during the summer vacation, so I reported the situation to the director. Please consider this matter. If you don't have time here, you still have to help."
Director Cheng also said, "Weidong has been doing very well since he started working, and you are highly valued by the higher-ups. You studied this major, and you are exactly the talent that our Railway Administration needs. I think that if you can go there this time, it will be considered as showing your face in the General Administration. I will report directly to the higher-ups and confirm your quota for the job. Xiaoling, husband and wife work together and are rarely apart. This opportunity is rare."
Mr. Zhu coughed twice, and Director Cheng laughed, "Teacher, I am here to kidnap Xiaoling, right? Just pretend you didn't hear what I said."
"This happened too suddenly. Let Xiaoling think about it and let you know when she gets a reply."
"Teacher, the situation over there is really serious, otherwise we wouldn't have come so late." Director Cheng sighed, "We have held several meetings on this matter, and we only have half a month. If the accounts are not sorted out, a large number of people will have to be punished."
Mr. Zhu said, "For such a large project, there must be a lot of accountants sent there. How could such a big mistake be made? I think you just didn't know the right people. You should look for more problems in yourself. Now you are anxious, but what were you doing in the first place?"
"The teacher's criticism is correct. I am reflecting on it now, but the problem here also needs to be solved. You have to help."
"How can I help? Can I give them a lecture?" Old Master Zhu had a fierce look on his face, but he didn't make things difficult for her. "Xiaoling, you can see that time is tight over there. Just tell me what you think. Don't feel any other burden. No matter what you choose, your family will support you."
The three of them kept communicating without giving Ji Ling a chance to speak. During this time, Ji Ling had already been thinking about this matter.
When she heard her grandfather asking for her opinion, she replied without hesitation, "Grandpa, I can go, but I don't know what the problem is with the accounts yet. I don't know if I can solve it myself, that's one thing. Second, there are so many accounts on the project, should I listen to others' instructions when I get there or should I make the decision myself? If I listen to others, then I can't work according to my ideas, and the progress of the work is still a big problem, and whether the problem can be solved is also a problem."
As soon as Ji Ling finished speaking, Director Cheng took over the conversation, "Xiao Ling, don't worry about this. After you get there, you will be in charge of everything. I will let the accounting department know. As for the accounting issues, no matter whether you can solve them there or not, you will not be held responsible."
Mr. Zhu nodded and looked at his grandson's wife.
Ji Ling nodded, "Then I'll try."
Director Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the train station now."
"No hurry, no hurry." Director Cheng smiled and stood up, fearing that the teacher would refuse. "The train is ours, and Xiaoling has to stay in a good sleeper. Don't worry, teacher, I will have someone take care of Xiaoling. I will call the Northwest right now to let them make arrangements. With Weidong there, you're still worried, right?"
Mr. Zhu glanced at him and said, "Are you afraid that I will refuse and kidnap her? Okay, I know you are short on time and have a heavy task, so let's arrange it this way."
He turned around and told Ji Ling, "Xiaoling, go pack your things too. Originally, your grandmother and I wanted you to take Niuniu with you, but now it seems that we should forget it. You will be busy with work over there and won't have the energy to take care of her."
"Grandpa, thank you and grandma for your hard work."
"It's not hard. No one is competing with us for it this time." Mr. Zhu smiled happily.
There were people waiting here, so Ji Ling went to pack her things. She didn't actually have much to bring. The weather in the northwest was hot, so she didn't bring short-sleeved shirts. There were mosquitoes everywhere in the wilderness, and it was very sunny. So she mostly brought long-sleeved shirts and long pants. The rest were bedding, toiletries, and daily necessities, so she packed two large bags.
Regardless of his status, Director Cheng took the initiative to pick up the two large bags, said goodbye to the Zhu family, and left with Ji Ling and Accountant Xu.
Old Mrs. Zhu had just returned with Niu Niu, Kong Siya was in the hospital again, and Zhu Yaowu and the others were out, so Ji Ling had no time to say goodbye to them.
When they arrived at the train station, the two of them personally escorted them to the train. Director Cheng went to get some fruit, so now only Xu Yihua and Ji Ling were there.
"Xiaoling, I misunderstood you in the past, and I have always wanted to apologize to you in person. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to say sorry to you."
"Teacher Xu, you're too polite. What's done is done." Ji Ling also said a few polite words.
But after what happened, Ji Ling couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. She just had to pretend to be fine, because she knew they could never be close again.
Director Cheng got a net bag of fruits from somewhere and put them on the small table of the berth. He thanked them again and waited until the train was about to leave before they left.
This is a soft sleeper car, and Ji Ling lives in a carriage by herself. However, she can only sit halfway through the journey, and then the train has to reverse. Director Cheng has arranged for someone to pick Ji Ling up, so she doesn't have to worry about anything during the whole journey and just needs to wait for someone to pick her up.
As soon as she arrived, Ji Ling relaxed. She spread the bed sheet she brought with her on the berth and had a good sleep. The next morning, she ate the breakfast delivered to her and arrived at the place where she got off the train before dark in the afternoon.
