News of Su Yu buying a bicycle quickly spread throughout the factory.

You know, buying a car these days isn't just about the money; it's also about how hard it is to buy one. A few hundred yuan is something a worker can manage to save up by tightening their belt.

But bicycle tickets were a rare commodity.

Knowing that Su Yu had bought a car, her social status instantly rose to a new level. People with cars are different from others.

Chairman Sun chuckled and said, "Su, Secretary Song helped with the car, right? So the agreement with Secretary Song was to buy the car, wasn't it?"

Su Yu raised an eyebrow, knowing that such things couldn't be kept from her gossipy boss.

"Secretary Song is a kind person. Knowing that I was in trouble, he helped me out."

"Su, you're getting old. You need to be able to handle some things yourself."

Su Yu: "..." What am I supposed to be sure of? That temperamental and hot-tempered Secretary Song? Ugh! He's so greedy, is he going to take him back to steal my food?

Chairman Sun saw that she was silent and assumed she was shy, so he smiled but said nothing.

To avoid any further comments from Chairman Sun, Su Yu felt it necessary to go to the union office and chat with everyone.

The union members were also talking about her buying a bicycle. When they saw her arrive, they all stopped what they were doing and started asking her about the bike.

"It was all luck. I just happened to run into an old comrade from the municipal party committee, who helped me out."

Committee member Hu said enviously, "Su, you are truly remarkable."

Committee Member Zhang wholeheartedly agreed. Su has only been with the union for a short time, yet she's already risen through the ranks several times and received several pay raises. Now she owns a car and a house. That's truly impressive. The key is that others can only envy her. Everyone within the union knows all about these matters; it's all thanks to Su's ideas and actions. Otherwise, the union wouldn't be so successful now.

It's no wonder that such a talented person would be highly regarded by Chairman Sun.

Su Yu didn't want everyone to be so envious, so she started making things up, "Actually, I really hate to part with it, but I have no choice. I didn't take good care of myself before, and now I have rheumatism in my legs, plus my feet get frostbite in the winter. Walking to work is torture every time."

Hearing Su Yu say this, Yan Fang looked at her feet pitifully, "Sister Su Yu, I'll get you some ointment later. You're still so young, you have to take good care of yourself."

Committee member Hu said, "It would be best to get some plasters; rheumatism is a serious problem."

Officer Lin also said, "I have some traditional remedies at home, I'll get them for you to try later."

Everyone else looked at Secretary Lin.

Lin, the secretary, was somewhat embarrassed and remained silent.

Su Yu smiled and said, "Everyone is so kind to me, I will definitely take good care of myself. Officer Lin, you really have to let me try your family's folk remedies later, winter is still long."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you this afternoon," Officer Lin said with a smile.

Seeing that Officer Lin was taking the initiative to get close to Su Yu, Cheng Li and Gao Ming were a little worried, even though the others were fine.

After all, in this union office, only Secretary Lin doesn't have any major tasks right now, and she used to be Chairman Sun's secretary. If she has any ideas, she has an advantage over others.

Cheng Li didn't dare to ask. Gao Ming simply followed Su Yu out, "Officer Su, my brother asked me to pass on a message to you: is there enough food at home? If not, he'll figure something out."

Su Yu smiled at him, "I can't accept this. We have enough to eat at home. Please thank your brother for me."

Gao Ming said somewhat embarrassedly, "Hey, Officer Su is a good comrade, one of us. No need to be so polite. By the way, Officer Su, if you need any help with any work, just let me know."

Su Yu praised, "Comrade Gao Ming, you are truly positive and motivated. Our union needs good comrades like you." Then she added, "For now, there's nothing much that needs our help, but you need to do your jobs well. If you don't do a good job, there are plenty of people watching you."

Gao Ming opened his eyes wide, "Secretary Su..."

Su Yu smiled reassuringly, "It's nothing, I'm here. Take it easy. You and Li have been doing very well lately, and Chairman Sun has been praising you for your ambition and initiative. So just keep it up. Success doesn't come overnight, so don't let your guard down."

Hearing Su Yu's instructions, Gao Ming finally felt relieved and nodded earnestly, "Secretary Su, I will definitely do better and better. I won't let you down."

Watching Gao Ming leave, Su Yu felt quite satisfied. If she really left the factory in the future, she might actually promote Gao Ming.

Because she had a bicycle, Su Yu was willing to eat at home again. The food in the cafeteria was alright, but it wasn't as good as what she ate at home. At home, she could eat white rice, eggs, and meat. But the cafeteria was different. The food was too limited. More importantly, there were too many people, and it wouldn't be good to eat too much.

At noon, Su Yu took Su Zhi home for lunch.

Su Dazhi looked at him pitifully.

Su Yu sighed as she sat on the back of the bicycle, "Dazhi, you need to practice hard." What if Zhi can't switch classes? Wouldn't he have to ride the bike by himself? That won't do!

Looking at the bicycle, Su Dazhi felt his limbs go weak. He wasn't worried about falling himself, but about damaging the bicycle. What if he scraped his skin on such a nice bike? A person can heal after a fall, but a bicycle won't.

Seeing Su Yu's disappointed expression, Su Dazhi gritted his teeth and said, "Sis, I'll practice this afternoon."

Su Dazhi kept his word. In the afternoon, Su Yu and Su Zhicai came from home, and he waited at the factory gate. As soon as they got out of the car, he pushed the bicycle over as if it were his own death, and then started riding.
