Chapter 393: Oh, So It’s a Girl

"Okay." Fu Mingxue didn’t go to get the money from the remittance slip.

She had cash in her dimensional space, anyway.

She had already counted out the two thousand.

Although she didn’t understand why her sister-in-law hadn’t written to the one named Gu Qingyun and remitted the money directly to her.

But there must be some story behind it.

Director Geng stepped out of the office and told someone to go get her.

Then he returned. "Would you like some tea?"

Fu Mingxue shook her head.

"I heard you designed a new state-of-the-art engine for the First Auto Factory?"

Fu Mingxue wasn’t surprised he knew.

After all, Director Geng seemed to be on very good terms with the director of the First Auto Factory.

"That’s right. I really just made a few modifications based on their original model."

But Director Geng knew what Fu Mingxue was capable of. The modifications were surely more than just ’a few.’

It was a shame that fellow with the surname Liu wouldn’t tell him more.

"The First Auto Factory didn’t give you a bonus?"

Fu Mingxue: ...?

"...No."

Hearing this, Director Geng couldn’t help but feel a pang of exasperation.

"How can you be so guileless? They don’t give you a bonus, and you don’t say a thing? I’ll go get it for you."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Something this good can happen?’

"...Director, should we just forget about the bonus? Aren’t we part of the same system?"

Director Geng’s eyes widened. "Who said we’re part of their system? Is the engine you developed the same as their cars?"

Though their factory’s name also included "Auto," and they did manufacture automobiles—it was obviously not the same.

Their primary focus was developing aviation engines.

"Alright, you don’t worry about it. I’m not about to let you do free labor for them."

Fu Mingxue said no more.

Whether she got the bonus or not, she would be the ultimate beneficiary.

She certainly wouldn’t complain about having too much money.

Director Geng then started chatting with her about matters at the university.

When he learned that she had to go teach at the university for a month every semester, he had no objections.

As long as her work schedule was arranged properly, cultivating more talent was an excellent thing.

After all, many professors at the research academy also held positions at universities!

Before they knew it, some twenty minutes had passed.

Finally, a knock came from the door.

"Come in."

As soon as Director Geng spoke, the door swung open.

Standing in the doorway was a very slender young woman.

"Director Geng, you were looking for me?"

"It wasn’t me, it was Group Leader Fu."

Director Geng pointed at Fu Mingxue.

Fu Mingxue also turned to look at the slender young woman in the doorway—she didn’t seem very old, maybe around twenty-five.

’So, this is Gu Qingyun?’

Just then, Director Geng spoke again. "You two can chat. I have to take off for a bit. Just pull the door closed on your way out."

His words were actually directed at Fu Mingxue.

With that said, he strode away.

Gu Qingyun walked in.

Just then, Fu Mingxue noticed that she walked with a heavy limp.

Gu Qingyun was also sizing up Fu Mingxue.

She had never met Fu Mingxue before.

But she had heard the rumors about her—that someone had arrived at the factory who was as beautiful as a goddess.

Normally, she paid no mind to such things.

But upon seeing the subject of the rumors in person, she was still stunned.

’To think such an unparalleled beauty existed in the world.’

Moreover, she had just heard Director Geng call the young woman Group Leader Fu. ’Which group is she the leader of? To become a group leader at such a young age... is she that incredible?’

Composing herself, she asked directly,

"Hello, Group Leader Fu. How can I help you?"
