Chapter 596 An Encounter on the Train
This time, no one came to pick them up after they got off the bus. They took a bus to the vicinity of Anshan Iron and Steel Group and checked into a guesthouse.

Although Wang Changzheng and Zhang Chunsheng were not from the purchasing department, they had visited Ansteel several times, so things went very smoothly. After all, it was a unit in Beijing, so they had to give them some face.

Chu Xue was taken to the Da Gushan Iron Mine as she had wished. Although it hadn't yet formed the deep pits of later generations, it already had open-pit mines of considerable depth and area.

To be honest, she greatly admired this city. No, she should say that in this day and age, the entire Northeast region has made tremendous contributions to the country's development.

Their business in Anshan went very smoothly, so they only stayed one night in Anshan and took the train back to Beijing the next day.

On someone's recommendation, Chu Xue and Sister Jiang bought some Anshan red blood sausage to take back to their families to try. They also saw some Nan Guo pears in a local villager's field and exchanged a lot of them with their coupons.

When they arrived in Beijing, the National Day holiday had already passed.

Back in the dorm, Duan Ruirui rushed over to her: "Chu Xue, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Ji Kunlan laughed: "You really have no shame."

Chu Xue smiled and pushed the person away: "I guess you want the delicious food I brought."

Duan Ruirui heard Chu Xue's words: "You guys understand me the most."

The group burst into laughter.

Hearing the commotion, Ning Xiaoban from the opposite dormitory ran over: "I knew it! I could tell it was Chuxue back. How was your business trip? Was it fun?"

Chu Xue put her things down: "Although I'm a little tired, it's nice to go for a walk."

She took out the food she had prepared beforehand: "Come on, come on, I brought back a lot of delicious food for you."

The dormitory was filled with laughter and joy for a moment.

The next day when she arrived at the department, Sister Hong smiled and said to her, "I received three catties of apples, two catties of pears, and two catties of flour for National Day. I collected your benefits for you; they're right under your desk."

Chu Xue clasped her hands together and said, "That's wonderful, thank you, Sister Hong." She knew Sister Hong's good intentions, but she hadn't come empty-handed. She brought some candy she had bought in Harbin and gave a few pieces to everyone. However, the section chief and Sister Hong also gave her some dried black fungus and red blood sausage.

After all, the two of them had taken good care of me since I joined the department, though they hadn't given me these things in front of others.

After some initial refusal, the two accepted the money with smiles. However, neither of them wasted their money, as they both gave Chuxue a few industrial vouchers.

Chu Xue naturally understood their intentions, after all, she came from the countryside and there was no such thing in the village.

Section Chief Li gave her two days off, and after working one day in the first snow, it was just in time for the weekend.

On Saturday afternoon, she finished her work ahead of schedule, reported to her section chief, and left an hour and a half early.

When I arrived at the station, the bus had already left. Luckily, I almost missed it.

I boarded the bus, panting, and seeing there were still seats available at the back, I quickly went over.

No sooner had I sat down than I heard, "First Snow, are you going back to the village?"

Chu Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhang's eldest sister: "Yes, what's this?"

Zhang Taohua smiled broadly, switched places with someone, and sat down next to Chuxue: "I haven't thanked you yet. My brother's matter is settled, and he's already back at work."

"That's good."

“We originally planned to go to the factory to find you a few days ago, but when we got there we found out that you weren’t there; you were on a business trip.”

"Yes, I just got back."

"That's perfect. We were just discussing when to visit you at the factory again. Now that you're back in the village, it'll be much more convenient for us."
