"Hey, Master Qing, we can deal with your business later. Let's settle things about your wife's assassination attempt on me. I don't have time to waste on you guys, and I don't want to stay here overnight."
"So? Now, please give me a satisfactory answer, Master Qing."
Xu Qingqing frowned and interrupted the argument between the two. It was already very late, and if they continued like this, she wouldn't be able to leave today either.
Clearly, Master Qing didn't want to expose her family's problems to outsiders, especially since this person was the one who started the whole thing. She was even less likely to reveal her family's shameful secrets to her.
So, in order to please Xu Qingqing, Master Qing offered her a large amount of apology gifts, plus a property, as compensation.
Xu Qingqing received a large sum of compensation, plus a car, and then drove away.
After leaving the capital and entering uninhabited areas, Xu Qingqing swapped the car she had previously stored in her spatial dimension with the car outside. She continued driving like this, stopping and starting along the way, resting in her spatial dimension when she got tired, and then continuing to drive after resting.
Surprisingly, he returned even earlier than Director Li.
Xu Qingqing glanced at the time. The time indicated that she had missed the restaurant, but fortunately, the steel factory's lunch time was later than the restaurant's, so she should still be able to make it there in time.
Even if there isn't enough time, they can still make her lunch.
In the steel plant canteen, You Limei kept a close eye on Fang Li at all times. As soon as Fang Li dared to get close to Bo Jingran, she would immediately report to the workshop director and drive away this bad person who wanted to destroy Sister Xu's family.
Fang Li gritted her teeth. These past few days, You Limei had been keeping a close eye on her. After get off work, Bo Jingran would run away so fast that she couldn't catch up. With Xu Qingqing's return time fast approaching, her relationship with Bo Jingran hadn't made any progress, which made her both angry and anxious.
Damn it, how annoying is that Yuri Mei? If only she weren't around, then no one would stop me. Yes, without her.
Fang Li suddenly had a wicked idea to get rid of this troublesome Yu Limei. Since the other party was going to stand in her way, she would get rid of her.
Yu Limei frowned. She suddenly noticed that Fang Li was smiling at her with ill intent, and she was immediately shocked. Oh my god! Could this person be planning to do something to her?
Outside the steel plant gate, Xu Qingqing was driving, so the security guards didn't see her. She beeped twice, but the guards didn't open the gate. Instead, they stood in front of the gate and blocked the car.
Xu Qingqing stuck her head out of the car window and shouted to the security guard not far away, "Hey, it's me! I'm back! Open the door quickly, I'm starving, I want to eat!"
"
She'd gotten tired of barbecue these past few days and now desperately needed something else to replenish her body's nutrients and satisfy her taste buds.
The guard recognized the voice immediately. As the car drew closer, he finally saw Xu Qingqing inside and hurriedly opened the gate.
After Xu Qingqing drove inside, the guards couldn't help but sigh. It had only been a few days since they last saw her, and Comrade Xu was already driving a car. It was true that comparisons were odious; compared to them, they seemed like complete useless people.
Xu Qingqing drove all the way to the vicinity of the cafeteria, locked the car, and hurriedly ran inside. Seeing that the time was almost up, her belief was that if she could eat something ready-made, she absolutely couldn't wait.
The cafeteria lady was already preparing to clean up. According to their current rule, everyone in the kitchen can have a little bit of what's left, but they can't take it home. If they want to take it home, they'll have to pay.
"Auntie, hurry, get me a serving! I'm starving!"
Xu Qingqing leaned against the window, panting as she shouted inside.
The cafeteria lady paused in her work, and upon hearing the voice, she looked down into the small opening. When she saw that it was Xu Qingqing, she couldn't stop smiling. She quickly grabbed the lunchbox, filled it with food, and then picked up two large steamed buns from the side.
After it was done, the cafeteria lady handed it to her through the window, smiling and saying, "Comrade Xu, you just got back, didn't you?"
Xu Qingqing nodded, and before she could find a seat, she dipped her steamed bun in the soup to eat.
When the cafeteria lady saw this, she felt extremely distressed: "Oh dear, eat slowly, eat slowly, there's no rush. If it's not enough, I'll give you some more."
"No need, ma'am. I've just been a little anxious because I haven't had a proper meal in the past few days." Xu Qingqing swallowed the food in her mouth before explaining to the cafeteria lady.
It's not surprising that she's like this. She's not like Da Bai, who can eat like this every day without any problems. These past few days, she's been eating barbecue and it's made her sore. She even has sores on the corners of her mouth, not to mention having trouble going to the toilet.
Her words made the cafeteria lady feel even more sorry for her, so she added some more dishes for her, all of them meat dishes. This made another cafeteria worker, Xiao Fang, frown so much that she could have killed a fly, and she looked at Xu Qingqing with even more displeasure.
She was a newcomer, and she got this job thanks to a relative of hers. Her family had to pay a lot of money to secure her the position.
It's common knowledge that the kitchen is a lucrative place. Everyone thought that by coming in, she could reap a lot of benefits, and her family also hoped to quickly get back the money they had put in.
But since she came in, she hasn't taken a single penny of the money. She even wants to eat the leftovers here. If she takes them back, she'll have to pay for them. It's incredibly annoying.
In addition, there wasn't much leftover food, and each person didn't get much either; it was gone in just a few bites. This time, the cafeteria lady gave all of their food rations to that little girl.
She couldn't hold back any longer, slammed the basin down, and accused, "Why did you give all our food rations to her?"
She had painstakingly saved a few pieces of meat, intending to secretly have an extra meal by herself when she got back, but the cafeteria lady ruined it.
Xu Qingqing was still eating when she heard someone inside criticizing the cafeteria lady. Her face darkened, and she carried her food through a small door to the side.
Inside, the person was still blaming the cafeteria lady. But who was the cafeteria lady? She had seen it all and experienced a lot. She saw right through the person's little scheme, put her hands on her hips, and started yelling at her.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed? What are you yelling about? Do you think I've been jealous all these years and can't see through your little schemes? I've been getting food here for over ten years, do you think you have the right to tell me what to do?"
Xiaofang was so angry that her hand trembled as she pointed at the cafeteria lady, filled with shame and indignation: "You, you!"
"You, you, you, what do you mean, you stutter? You can't even speak clearly. Let me tell you, keep your little schemes to yourself. Things are different here now. There's no place for someone like you."
The cafeteria lady slapped her finger away and looked at her with disgust.
If it were the old cafeteria, she might not have dared to say anything and could only choose to tolerate it and not want to cause trouble. But now it's different. The place has been renovated and is no longer like before. She is bolder now and will directly confront those she doesn't like.
