Chapter 406: Where Did She Go?

Mrs. Fu heard a knock on the door and assumed it was another neighbor from the family housing compound.

But when she opened the door, she found the communications officer.

"Ma’am, Fu Mingxue just called from the factory. She has an urgent task and needs to work overtime, so she might be back very late tonight. If anything happens with the two kids, she said you should find Director Xie."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fu immediately nodded. "Alright, I understand. Thank you, young man."

"You’re welcome." The communications officer left after speaking.

Mrs. Fu sighed and closed the door again.

She knew her daughter was swamped with work.

She used to think her daughter should have a child soon.

But now, it seemed like that wouldn’t happen for who knows how long.

’If she waits a few more years to have a baby, will my body still be up to helping her raise it?’

At that thought, Mrs. Fu felt she needed to take better care of herself.

’My body can’t fail me.’

’Otherwise, how will I be able to help my daughter with her child in the future?’

Fu Mingxue, of course, had no idea what her mother was thinking.

When she was first reborn, she had been somewhat fixated on having her own child.

After all, in her past life, she had raised someone else’s children, only for them to turn into three ungrateful wretches.

After being reborn, she didn’t want to raise anyone else’s children.

’I have to raise a child of my own.’

Unfortunately, she ended up raising children who weren’t her own anyway.

’I hope I don’t raise more ungrateful wretches this time.’

But now, she was so busy with work; where would she find the time to have a baby?

She really didn’t want one right now.

At least not for the next two years.

It was already hard enough for her mom to look after two children by herself.

If there was another one—how could she possibly manage?

...

"Your Group Leader Fu isn’t here?"

It was Gu Zhen’s first time visiting Group Six.

He had come with Li Zhao.

After all, their two groups had some overlapping work.

Xu Ming glanced at the two of them. "She’s not."

"Not here this morning, and not here this afternoon either? But I saw her bicycle! It’s still parked at the factory!"

Gu Zhen was quite interested in Fu Mingxue’s modified bicycle.

He had already found out that Fu Mingxue had modified the bike herself.

’Tsk, tsk. This Fu Mingxue is so damn incredible.’

Xu Ming glared at him. "Of course she has something very important to do. What’s with you? Why are you paying so much attention to our Group Leader Fu?"

Gu Zhen: ...?

"This is about work! Don’t you forget, we’re from the Materials Group. We need to discuss the direction for our new materials with your Group Leader Fu."

"Why does it have to be our Group Leader Fu? Discussing it with our Group Leader Chang is the same thing."

Gu Zhen: ...?

’How could it be the same?’

’Fu Mingxue is the actual person in charge.’

’And that Group Leader Chang is a deputy.’

’Even if we discuss it with him, won’t we just have to go back and confirm everything with Fu Mingxue afterward?’

Just as he was about to retort, Li Zhao spoke up. "Fine. Where is Group Leader Chang?"

"Over there. You can go find him yourselves." Xu Ming’s attitude lacked the enthusiasm it had yesterday.

Li Zhao paid him no mind and started walking in the direction he had pointed.

Seeing this, Gu Zhen quickly followed.

Chang Qingze was a bit surprised to see the two of them approaching.

Gu Zhen immediately explained the purpose of their visit.

And so, the three of them began their discussion.

When they were finished and Li Zhao was about to leave, he casually asked, "Where did your Group Leader Fu go?"

Chang Qingze didn’t think it was a secret, so he said, "She went to the workshop. To Old Yang’s place. Our Group Leader Fu is helping Director Geng make something."

Li Zhao: ...?

Gu Zhen: ...?

The two of them were completely baffled.
