Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry! novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Chapter 126: Investigation

The lunch lady was a little shocked to hear that.

Still, she didn’t ask any more questions.

After all, a key part of working in the cafeteria was remembering to keep her mouth shut and just do her job.

Taking the meal card, she said, "I don’t need to log this. It’s for three days, so I’ll just give it a stamp."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

When the woman finished and handed it back, Fu Mingxue noticed for the first time the small grid on the back of the card.

A small red mark had been stamped in one of the squares.

After getting her food, she found a place to sit and eat.

Ten minutes later, she was back at the research institute.

The workday wasn’t over yet.

Some people were still engrossed in their work.

Even when Fu Mingxue left at eleven, she could see lights on all over the institute. Clearly, plenty of people were working late into the night.

It was quite late by the time she got back to her dorm.

The second-floor hallway was pitch-black.

Fu Mingxue was glad she’d brought a flashlight. Otherwise, she would have certainly tripped while fumbling in the dark.

The washroom area was to the left on the second floor.

Fu Mingxue grabbed her clothes and went to take a shower.

The next day, when she showed up in the washroom area, many people were already there.

Some were washing their faces, while others were doing laundry in the sinks.

"Oh, I haven’t seen you around, miss. Are you new here?"

"She’s our next-door neighbor!" The speaker was the woman from the previous day. Beaming at Fu Mingxue, she said, "Miss, my surname is Li. My husband’s with the institute, and so are you! What’s your name?"

"You can call me Fu Mingxue." Fu Mingxue saw no reason to hide her name.

"Fu Mingxue, what a lovely name. Did you just arrive at the institute yesterday?" As soon as Aunt Li asked, the others’ curiosity was piqued as well.

They were all dying to know what this young woman did.

"Yes. I’m finished, Auntie, so I’ll be going now." Fu Mingxue didn’t have time to stand around and chat with them.

Nor did she have any interest in satisfying their curiosity.
