Chapter 151: Apology

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

""Come in,"" Director Geng called out.

The office door swung open.

Five people walked in.

Director Geng looked at them and said, ""Let me introduce you to your new Group Six leader, Comrade Fu Mingxue.""

""Comrade Fu Mingxue, these are your team members.""

The five of them stared at the young Fu Mingxue in shock.

They had expected the group leader to be at least fifty or sixty years old.

At the very least, a middle-aged man of forty-five.

How could it be a girl in her twenties?

Was this some kind of joke?

Seeing the doubt on their faces, Director Geng said, ""There's no need to question it—this is the new Group Six leader decided by Engineer Ji and the factory leadership, and also the designer of the new AC1001 engine.""

""Now, each of you introduce yourselves to your Group Leader Fu.""

Everyone: ...?

This was just too unbelievable.

She was actually the AC1001 design engineer.

But since Director Geng said so, it had to be true.

After all, something like this couldn't be faked.

One person stepped forward first and introduced himself, ""I'm Chang Qingze, the deputy leader of this group.""

""I'm Feng Huan.""

""I'm Shao Man.""

""Qiu Yongguang.""

""He Yu.""

After everyone had introduced themselves, Fu Mingxue spoke up as well, ""I'm Fu Mingxue, and from now on I'll be the leader of Group Six. I hope that in the days to come, we can work together with one heart and mind, support each other, and successfully develop the AC1001 as soon as possible.""

""Alright, now that you've met each other, Group Leader Fu, take your team to your workspace. As for your work badge, I'll have someone bring it to you later.""

Fu Mingxue nodded. ""Alright.""

She left together with the five of them.

There was still a lot to do, like getting to know each person's strengths.

...

Fu's mother had dinner ready early, but her daughter still hadn't come home.

Instead, someone else came knocking at the door.

She wondered, could it be someone coming to make trouble again?

She went over and opened the door, only to find a man standing outside.

""Auntie, hello. I'm Instructor Xie. I heard something unpleasant happened today, so I'm here to apologize,"" Instructor Xie said, looking apologetic.

As soon as she heard this, Fu's mother quickly replied, ""It's nothing, really, no need for you to apologize, Instructor Xie. Why don't you come in and we can talk inside?""

Instructor Xie nodded and walked into the courtyard.

He looked around at the spotlessly clean yard and felt pleased—having family members around really made a difference.

""Auntie, Qin Wenhuo is out on a mission, and Comrade Fu is at work, so you have to take care of both kids by yourself. I really didn't expect that those women would come make a fuss over Comrade Fu's job. That's my failure in management. I'm truly sorry—""

Fu's mother had still been a little upset, but now all her anger disappeared.

She hurried to say, ""It's really nothing. I was a bit angry at first, but thinking it over, they were just anxious about their own jobs. I can understand that.""

She was old enough to know how to say the right things.

Instructor Xie thought Qin Wenhuo's mother-in-law was really a good person.

She seemed so kind.

""Actually, we should be thanking you, Instructor Xie, for bringing us rice and flour yesterday.""

""That's just my job. The cost will be deducted from Qin Wenhuo's allowance.""

After chatting a bit more, Instructor Xie finally left.

As for the family members who had caused trouble, their husbands had scolded them thoroughly.

A few of them even snuck over to Fu's mother to apologize—"
