Fan Jinyou, however, slightly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "You, in the future, only need to do some trivial housework like cleaning." This made him even more proud.

As a young woman, Chen Xueru was forced to work as a cleaner, which made her feel wronged. Tears flowed in front of her tightly closed eyes, and her eyelashes trembled as if they were soaked in water. Some bloodstains appeared on her lips under her clenched teeth, but the more pain she felt, the greater sense of accomplishment she gave to the other party - this seemed to be one of his goals. He rubbed his hands happily: "Don't worry, this job adjustment is only temporary. As long as you understand this one day, I can arrange it for you again."

Then, his eyes became more complicated when he looked at Chen Xueru, "There is even a chance to be promoted. Of course, this is just a possibility, depending on my mood changes." Chen Xueru felt his weirdness and realized that this was not just a simple conversation, "This is just to ** you accept the new situation." This sentence made her anger burst out instantly.

Chen Xueru did not hide her true feelings about Fan Jinyou's behavior and words, and directly stated her bottom line: "Manager Fan, I don't know what you are planning, but I already have someone I care about, so I ask you to keep your distance."

Facing Chen Xueru's resistance and frank confession, Fan Jinyou's smile seemed a little ambiguous. "Oh, you're not married? It seems I really thought too much." He said this with a smug tone, but then he comforted her, "Don't worry, I don't have to force you. I just want you to understand the reason."

This was the first time Chen Xueru encountered such a difficult situation in her working life. At this moment, she was alone facing the store, feeling helpless. So, she whispered, "I'm not feeling well, it's better to leave first."

Seeing Chen Xueru turning around and about to leave, Fan Jinyou immediately frowned and warned her: "If you leave, remember to deduct some of your salary as punishment for not participating in the work." This was not only to control her time in the store, but also to show his authority and threat.

Chen Xueru ignored him, wiped her tears, and quickly left the scene.

After leaving the tailor shop, she felt a warm current flowing through her body under the sun. But where should she go at this moment?

Since she was born, the tailor shop has become the starting point and destination of her life.

When I thought about being far away from everything here, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of loneliness.

An idea suddenly came to her mind, so she got on her bike and planned to go to the locomotive depot. Under the current circumstances, it seemed that only the people there could help her.

Just as Chen Xueru was driving, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the roadside and blocked her way.

Suddenly someone blocked the way. Chen Xueru was startled. After taking a closer look at the other person, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's Boss Liu, whom I know well!"

Standing in front of Chen Xueru was the owner of "Liu Ji Tailor Shop". Seeing this, Boss Liu asked, "Chen **, where are you going?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueru chuckled and replied, "Nothing important."

Boss Liu looked up at the direction of "Chen's Tailor Shop", then looked at the people around him who had different expressions and looked a little confused.

Then he said in a complicated tone, "I heard that Chen's Tailor Shop is going to decline soon?"

Hearing this, Chen Xueru's face suddenly changed: "Uncle Liu, why do you say that? We still have many old customers in our store."

"I'm not making groundless assumptions. I received orders from several new customers yesterday."

Boss Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head to explain, "Most of them are old acquaintances of your Chen family! Not only ours, but also Mr. Song and Mr. Wang's stores have not been doing well recently. I have heard a lot of these things from them."

After hearing this, Chen Xueru was silent for a moment.

In the metropolis of Beijing, not all places are so big that they are unrelated to each other. In this industry, peers watch each other's movements. Any slight movement is watched by everyone.

Fan Jinyou's previous behavior at Beijing Chen's Tailor Shop had already spread throughout the industry, causing shock and anxiety among people.

When he saw Chen Xueru remained silent, he smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I have already contacted several colleagues in Lao Song's industry to discuss this matter. For the time being, we will not participate in the merger of public ownership."

Backward thinking and no progress? That's fine, but it's better than watching the old shop that has been passed down from generation to generation being destroyed.

If the current situation had not made her upset and her emotions volatile, she might have reflected more on and dissuaded Boss Liu's ideas; but facing the Chen family's situation and the current crisis and uncertainty, Chen Xueru felt that persuading others was powerless and useless.

Especially when there is such a powerful public manager, who would not be afraid?

Chen Xueru, who was depressed, finally suppressed her inner struggle and drove her bicycle, her life's work, to the maintenance department's office area in the city.

After some searching and asking, she learned that Li Aiguo had an official mission today and would not return to the office until the evening. Therefore, Chen Xueru, unwilling to be disappointed and helpless, had to leave this office full of hope and despair with loss.

During this brief but ups-and-downs period, Chen Xueru experienced the ups and downs of life. Although difficulties and challenges emerged one after another, she still chose to face her situation and move forward bravely, even though each time was a test of the limits of her will.

In the days ahead, how will Chen Xueru choose her own destiny? What kind of results will this courage, tenacity and perseverance bring her? Let us pay attention to her future and witness her transformation.

Just as I arrived at the door, I happened to meet Li Ke’s wife, named Huang Shuxian.

Huang Shuxian and Chen Xueru had met once before, and she had a deep impression of her pretty appearance. "Are you the person that Li Aiguo is going to marry?" Huang Shuxian asked directly.

"Yes, I want to see my fiancé. He should be on his way to drive now." Chen Xueru responded.

"Train drivers are like this, they're often not at home." She then sighed, and noticing that Chen Xueru didn't look too well, she led her into her office area, "You can sit here for a while. It won't affect your normal work if I let you wait, right?"

"You're welcome. It's my job to receive you." After saying this, Huang Shuxian stood up and went to the steel filing cabinet behind her, took out a briefcase and placed it on the table. "Li Xueru **, originally we should have waited until you got married to Li Aiguo to discuss this topic, but we met today, so let's complete this step together first."

This made Chen Xueru confused - is there a set of prescribed procedures to follow when getting married?

"Is there any specific requirements for the conversation?" Chen Xueru asked.

Huang Shuxian gave the answer: "Indeed, the responsibility undertaken by train drivers is very important, and it affects the lives of thousands of passengers. To ensure the psychological stability of drivers is one of the core tasks of our education department. Internationally, it is called occupational mental health."

Huang Shuxian then opened the file book in her hand and handed her some examples one by one.

[On September 11, 1950, a New York City coach carrying 240 passengers collided with a Pennsylvania Police Special Train, resulting in three casualties]

[On March 2, 1944, a train crew member made a mistake in an Italian tunnel, causing smoke inside the train, causing 521 passengers to suffocate due to lack of oxygen]

Most of these accidents occurred abroad and were caused by sudden psychological changes of train drivers or their colleagues, which led to a chain reaction of events.

Chen Xueru couldn't help but sigh after reading these shocking cases. Huang Shuxian explained to her: Every month, the Education Office would talk with the train drivers and solve their problems, especially before the train drivers got married, they would also conduct individual interviews with their spouses.

"Let them fully anticipate and prepare for their previous marriages," she said. "I do know that this will cause women a lot of grievances, but this is exactly what we need to realize - without the power of the collective, how can there be warmth in the small family?"

While reading these thought-provoking case materials and listening to the other party's words, Chen Xueru finally understood the importance of the entire process. She firmly said to Huang Shuxian, "Assistant Huang, please rest assured that if I can become one of Li Aiguo's wives, I will definitely devote myself to my supporting role."

This conversation not only demonstrated trust and support for professional rigor, but also inadvertently conveyed the importance of family harmony and the concept of personal responsibility. In this seemingly daily exchange, the two women touched upon a deep understanding and recognition of the relationship between individuals and society, reflecting their pursuit of common goals and ideals, as well as their efforts and determination to reach this consensus.

Chen Xueru is also a young woman with a high level of ideological awareness.

Compared with the injustice she suffered, the safety of thousands of passengers is undoubtedly more important.

then.

When she went to Liu Guozhang's home with Li Aiguo that afternoon, she did not show any displeasure.

"Brother Aiguo, Mr. Liu is a leader, but you only brought a few thread-bound books to visit him. Will he be disgusted?"

Chen Xueru feels excited whenever she recalls the moment when she met with senior officials on the track.

However, the gifts Li Aiguo brought were too simple - just a few thread-bound books.

The shell was in tatters, as if it was a relic picked up from a trash can.

Her expectation is to at least go to a department store and buy a few bottles of Feitian Moutai and a few boxes of Zhonghua cigarettes, right?

To know.

In order to keep Chen's Tailor Shop running, Mr. Fang Xuan once spent five silver dollars to give gifts to a group of dark-skinned guests.

Li Aiguo was riding a bicycle, and even when he turned around and stroked Chen Xueru's small nose, he did not affect his progress.

"Silly girl, those were the old days."

“Now, as leaders, we must abandon those crooked ways.”
