The female protagonist transmigrated into a novel she wrote herself, playing the role of a vixenish supporting character. In the book, she caused trouble until her death on the streets, and her act...
"Isn't the director being a bit too biased? I get the lowest salary, work the longest hours, and have the lowest status in this department. Does the director think I absolutely need this job? Or does he think my family needs this little bit of money to cook for me?"
Zhang Hongjun looked at her and sneered, "A capitalist's son, no wonder he's no good. Dressed so gaudy and flashy, what good could he possibly be?"
Lin Wanwan originally intended to leave, but upon hearing her words, she stopped, turned around, and slammed her notebook onto the table with a loud "bang."
"Director Zhang, could you please explain to me what 'capitalist's son' means? Who is 'capitalist's son'? Which law stipulates that I can't dress like this, or is it just Director Zhang's personal rule?"
Zhang Hongjun's face flushed red and then turned pale. "You dress so gaudyly all the time, what else could you be but a vixen? Don't you know your own social class? What else could you be but a capitalist's son?!"
"Then Director Zhang, listen carefully. My father used to be a civilian and worked in the government after his demobilization. My mother is a nurse. Furthermore, the country is now promoting self-employment. Director Zhang, are you suggesting class discrimination? Do you think there's a problem with the national policy, or does Director Zhang have other ideas, not support the country's propositions, and want to create class antagonism?"
After Lin Wanwan finished speaking, she bowed to Qian Senlin and said, "I am grateful for Station Chief Qian's guidance and instruction over the past two weeks. My manuscript has improved so quickly because of this. I have had a very happy time working here for the past two weeks. Thank you."
“I’m not coming to work tomorrow. I won’t work with the exploiting class or with people who create class conflict.”
Lin Wanwan had just finished tidying up her things and was about to leave when Zhang Hongjun stopped her, shouting, "You stop right there! Leave these public items here!!"
Lin Wanwan took the items out of her bag. "These two are my own notebooks and pens, and this is my own cup. Director Zhang, which of these is public property? Besides stirring up class antagonism, Director Zhang, are you also going to spread rumors and slander me?"
After saying that, Lin Wanwan didn't give her a chance to retaliate, grabbed her things, and left.
I'll make you furious, you old witch! You dare call me a dog's cub? You're a pig's cub!
Lin Wanwan didn't go home; instead, she went to Xu Zhang's office to pick up Tuanzi.
“You’re here. Tuanzi was just calling ‘Mommy’ and you came right away.”
Lin Wanwan's mood instantly improved. "Really? Does Tuanzi miss his mother?"
She hugged him and kissed him, and Tuanzi hugged her arm and giggled.
"How come it's so fast today? Is the manuscript finished?"
"I won't have to write articles anymore. I can stay home every day taking care of the kids and reading."
"What's wrong? Has Zhang Hongjun had another episode?"
"Mom, you know her? Why didn't you remind me?"
"Hahahaha, you're not the kind of person who'll let others bully you, I'm not worried about that."
"That's true, I made her so angry she turned green."
Lin Wanwan was furious. "She actually made me get off work from nine in the morning to eight-thirty at night, and I had to leave on time. Does she think I'm an animal? I work nine hours a day, get the lowest salary in the department, do the most work, and still have the lowest status. I don't think I'm that cheap."
"And she also said I was a capitalist's son, that I dressed in a flashy, frivolous way and wasn't a decent person!"
Xu Zhang frowned and asked her, "Did she insult you?"
"I cursed and got really angry. Anyway, my most important thing right now is to read and study. If I don't have to go to work, so be it."
Seeing Xu Zhang's displeased expression, Lin Wanwan immediately said, "But I've already cursed back. I'm not someone to be trifled with."
As soon as Lin Wanwan left, Xu Zhang said to Qian Senlin, "Station Chief Qian, that Lin Wanwan is obviously all show and no substance. What can she accomplish? Let's hire someone else."
"You're the director, so you can arrange these things."
Qian Senlin looked like he didn't care, which made Zhang Hongjun even happier, as it allowed him to go all out and get things done.
"Okay, I'll write the announcement and post it right away. I don't believe the radio station will stop working without Lin Wanwan."
Lin Wanwan took Tuanzi to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Today was the day when meat was sold, and Lin Wanwan wanted to buy some good food to treat her family.
For the past two weeks, she has been busy writing articles and broadcasting, and she also reads books when she has free time. She hasn't eaten much. Lu Feng cooks for her every day after he finishes his work at the army base. If he really doesn't have time, Lu Feng brings her food from the canteen.
Before she even reached the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Wanwan encountered many military families who greeted her. Since she became a broadcaster, many of these families seemed to have lost some of their hostility towards her.
When Lin Wanwan met someone she got along with, she would bring Tuanzi along to socialize. When they were almost at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lin Wanwan met Qin Ziyi.
"Wanwan, what brings you here now?"
Lin Wanwan carried the child over and shoved the little dumpling into her arms. "Hey, you can hold him for a bit. He's too heavy. I'm tired from carrying him all the way here."
"Hello, sisters-in-law, what brings you all here?"
Qin Ziyi said, "Your radio station is hiring, so we've all come to join in the fun."
“Sister Ziyi, I’m no longer with the broadcasting station. Today, the new Director Zhang said I’m a capitalist’s son, and that I have to work nine hours a day and get yelled at. I don’t want her to call me a capitalist’s son, so I’m quitting.”
"What utter bullshit! What era are we living in that she's still talking about class antagonism? I think her political awareness is just too low!"
Several other military wives around her echoed her sentiments, and Lin Wanwan was overjoyed. As expected of my good sister, she got straight to the point.
Qin Ziyi looked at her with concern, "Are you alright?"
Lin Wanwan put on a wronged look, shook her head and said, "It's okay. My family, Lu Feng's family, is very rich, but our ancestors have contributed money and effort to support the revolution. They have donated an unknown amount of money. Even a few years ago, he was not labeled a rightist because our family has been doing good deeds for generations. I don't want others to scold him or misunderstand him. It's just a job. It's okay if I don't do it."
'Innocent Flower Skill Acquired,' Lin Wanwan praised herself in her heart, not forgetting to rub the corner of her eyes, making them appear even redder.
People around her came to comfort her, and Lin Wanwan also showed a tolerant and magnanimous demeanor.
"Are you still broadcasting this afternoon?"
"I won't go. Other broadcasters will be broadcasting for us from now on," Lin Wanwan said softly.
Qin Ziyi grabbed her and asked, "Are you really not going to do it anymore?"
"Well, it seems like Director Zhang doesn't want me to do it, but it's okay. I've been busy with work lately and haven't had time to take care of Tuanzi and Lu Feng. I'll take good care of the family these next few days."
Qin Ziyi wanted to say something, but Lin Wanwan gave her a reassuring look.
"Sisters, I'm leaving now. I need to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things. I haven't had time to take care of the children and Lu Feng lately, so I need to buy some things to treat them well."
Qin Ziyi carried the child and walked with her. She still had something to ask Lin Wanwan. Last time she went to Wanwan's house, she saw high school textbooks and Lin Wanwan was doing high school exercises. She wanted to ask her what was going on.
