Back to the 1970s: Building My Fortune Through Time Trading-Chapter 345: Sister Hong Really Is Awesome

Just as a few people were about to sit down to eat, there was suddenly a commotion outside the door.

The noise grew louder, and vaguely, it seemed like Zhang Xiaohong’s voice could be heard.

Soon someone came to knock on the door.

"Brother Chen, it’s bad, Honghong got into a fight with someone, you better go give her a hand."

A hurried female voice sounded outside the door as Chen Tieshan quickly stood up from his seat.

Wang Shengli’s face changed along with him: "Brother, let’s hurry, if someone gets hurt, it’ll be bad."

Their words made Su Xiaoxiao feel a bit nervous too.

Although she had just met Zhang Xiaohong, she felt quite a connection with her personality.

Seeing a group of people going downstairs, she quickly followed.

Downstairs, she found that the guests in the lobby were all holding their bowls of food, eating while watching the commotion.

People were fearlessly crowding forward, showing a carefree attitude.

Su Xiaoxiao anxiously looked over; they were positioned higher so she could see the two people surrounded in the middle.

However, the imagined scene of Zhang Xiaohong being bullied did not appear.

On the contrary, it seemed that the other person was the one in need of help.

Zhang Xiaohong had her jacket sleeves rolled up to her elbows and was straddling the man, punching and kicking him.

Su Xiaoxiao was oddly silent; given this level of force, her previous worries were unfounded.

Just as she thought this, she heard Wang Shengli urgently say: "Brother, hurry, if big sister keeps hitting him, we’ll have to pay for medical expenses again."

Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

So that’s what they’re worried about.

The two went forward on either side to lift the person up.

"Honghong, don’t be angry, let’s talk it over nicely."

Chen Tieshan gently advised, but the soft expression looked particularly awkward with his fierce face.

"Exactly, big sis, anger harms the body, it’s not worth it."

Wang Shengli also tried to persuade.

"Why did you two come down? Weren’t you supposed to be treating my little sister to dinner?"

Seeing the two, Zhang Xiaohong frowned, caught sight of Su Xiaoxiao not far away, and awkwardly tidied her hair: "You handle this here, I want to say a few words to my little sister."

"You wretched woman, you’re looking for death!"

The man on the ground cursed as he climbed up, only to be kicked down by Wang Shengli.

"Damn it, who the hell..."

Halfway through his words, he saw Chen Tieshan’s ferocious face and instantly fell silent.

"Sister, why did you come down here for such a trivial matter? The food’s getting cold, come on, I’ll take you back upstairs."

Zhang Xiaohong’s smile was gentle; had Su Xiaoxiao not seen her in action, she wouldn’t have been able to associate her with the fierce woman from earlier.

My Hongjie indeed kicks ass! This big sister was the right choice.

Chen Tieshan was very generous; the dishes on the table were mostly premium.

It had been a long time since she had eaten so abundantly, and Su Xiaoxiao shamefully ate way too much.

Embarrassed, she let out a burp; what a disgrace, unable to control herself in the face of delicious food.

"Sis, come over here, I have something to give you."

Just as she was inwardly scolding herself, she heard Zhang Xiaohong calling her.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately followed.

Zhang Xiaohong confidently led her into the kitchen, and the male server about to serve dishes saw her and was amazed: "Hongjie, when did you have such a pretty little sister? How about introducing me, I still don’t have a partner."

"Get lost, ugly-faced and wishful thinking, my little sister isn’t someone you can fantasize about. Shoo-shoo, go serve your dishes."

Zhang Xiaohong looked disgusted.

Once the person left, she quickly bent down and fished out a greasy paper pack from under the table, stuffing it into Su Xiaoxiao’s arms: "Sis, I don’t have anything good for you, take this braised beef home to eat, just remember to conceal it a bit when you leave."

"Don’t be shy with big sis, otherwise you’ll be treating her as an outsider."

Before she could speak, Zhang Xiaohong warned her first.

Su Xiaoxiao could only thank her, put the item away, and planned to ask Chen Meilan to return to the department store together.

As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, two young male colleagues passed her by.

As they brushed past, Su Xiaoxiao heard them discussing the election of the workshop director at the city steel plant.

Recognizing the familiar work uniform on them, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly recalled, isn’t this the uniform from her brother’s factory?

Previously, she heard her brother say that after the workshop director was arrested at the plant, a new one hadn’t been elected.

Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately had an idea.

Elder brother Su Wenbing has diligently worked at the steel plant for over seven or eight years.

To become a workshop director, his qualifications should be sufficient.

No way, she’ll have to talk to her brother well when she gets home tonight.

He really should work hard for the workshop director position.

Otherwise, with her brother’s personality, who only knows how to work hard, who knows how many obstacles people will throw his way behind his back—last time was just an example. If she hadn’t been clever, her brother might have been made a scapegoat.

Thinking over how to persuade her brother, she unknowingly reached the department store’s door with Chen Meilan.

Just as she was about to enter, Chen Meilan suddenly called her.

"Xiao Su, I need your help with something, are you free next Monday?"

Department store employees don’t have weekends off, usually taking breaks on weekdays.

Su Xiaoxiao happened to have next Monday off.

Their relationship was good, and if it was something she could help with, she was more than willing.

She shook her head immediately: "Nothing going on, Director Chen, anything you need help with, just say so."

Chen Meilan breathed a sigh of relief and stammeringly said: "It’s about the gentleman from the last social event, he invited me to dinner on Monday, and I’m embarrassed to go alone. Could you come with me? Plus, I’m not great with clothing and hair."

As she spoke, Chen Meilan’s face grew redder.

Usually, she was all stern and mature at the department store, but she was only in her early twenties.

It was the first time Su Xiaoxiao saw her with this expression, and she thought it rather attractive.

She generally had no resistance to beautiful things, so she immediately assured. "No problem."

Chen Meilan was delighted: "So it’s settled then."

Su Xiaoxiao nodded firmly.

Chen Meilan suddenly remembered the election for the sales manager position, and seeing no one around, decided to share some inside information with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Xiao Su, don’t worry, the sales manager position is almost certainly yours. Liu Changjiang won’t pull any tricks."

"The general manager and several department managers are rooting for you; as long as there’s not much difference, the position won’t fall to Liu Changjiang."

To put it bluntly, this was supposed to be a mere formality, but the shameless Liu Changjiang unexpectedly appeared midway.

As long as Su Xiaoxiao performed adequately, even if slightly lacking, the position was hers.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t expect she could ever be a part of the favoritism, and she felt a bit flattered.

"Thank you all for your appreciation, I will work hard to live up to expectations."

The leaders had planned to give her a green light; if she couldn’t win, it would be a shame.

The two chatted and laughed, returning to the department store.

As soon as they entered, Su Xiaoxiao saw Zhang Yulan frantically waving at her from afar.
