Second update

Qin Yao's job in the Propaganda Office was very easy. The overall division of labor in their office was roughly like this: Director Huang, their boss, spent most of the day talking to people. He was constantly on the phone in the office, either contacting this person or that person. Director Huang was very good at making witty remarks and could talk to any leader.

This makes Director Huang seem like a very "idle" leader, but this is also her strength, as she is well aware of all the rules and regulations.

Everything Qin Yao and Xiao Pan wrote would eventually be "reviewed" by Director Huang. Under Director Huang's careful influence and education, Qin Yao learned the "degree" required to write publicity materials, which is very important.

Director Huang has been working hard for many years and is a very smart man. With such a director around, Qin Yao can write boldly. As long as it passes Director Huang's review, she will basically not make big mistakes. Director Huang will remind her what to write, what not to write, and what the leaders like to see.

Qin Yao learned a lot from Director Huang.

Qin Yao would occasionally deliberately write some mistakes and ask Director Huang to point them out. It was harmless and both sides had their benefits.

Deputy Director Liu's work is the most "complicated". She is responsible for organizing and archiving materials. Throughout the year, there are always various written materials that need her to organize to deal with inspections and investigations by leaders, so she is always busy in the office, buried in piles of materials.

The people who actually work in the office are Qin Yao and Xiao Pan. According to the requirements of the leaders, they contact various people, write plans, write materials, write publicity, take photos... These are their tasks.

It’s like writing a promotional banner. Of course, they don’t write it themselves, but they contact the “calligrapher”.

When various units come to the hospital to exchange and learn, they have to follow along, take photos and write promotional articles.

It's troublesome when there are activities, and it's idle when there are no activities. In short, it's not a very busy position and I can often slack off while sitting in the office.

In March, for the Women's Day event, Xiao Pan was responsible for taking photos and Qin Yao wrote the promotional copy; for the Arbor Day event, Qin Yao was responsible for taking photos and Xiao Pan wrote the promotional copy.

On Women's Day, Qin Yao came to the hospital early. She set up the venue for the event with Xiao Pan and his group early in the morning and carried prizes from the truck, including soap, laundry detergent, toothpaste and toothbrushes. If they won a lot in today's event, they wouldn't have to buy toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap for the whole year.

This is the benefit of having a unit in this era.

Many people in the hospital asked her, including Head Nurse Ge and Zhang Yufei:

"Is your captain Gu coming?"

Qin Yao smiled slightly: "Come, come, come, he said he would come, if he doesn't come I will go home and scold him."

Head Nurse Ge laughed, thinking Qin Yao was joking.

The activities for couples are nothing special, just relay races, three-legged races or other competitive activities. The top few winners are rewarded with soap and washing powder. If they win more, they can also get high-end prizes - valuable prizes such as "enamel basins, alarm clocks" and so on.

Soap and washing powder are small gadgets that cost a few cents, while the enamel basin alarm clock costs a few dollars and is considered the grand prize, and is very valuable.

Qin Yao's goal is to win some soap and toothbrushes, especially toothbrushes. At least throw away one every two months and earn some toothbrushes and soap. It is very worthwhile.

After lunch and a simple half-hour nap, Qin Yao was downstairs enjoying the fresh air. She felt a little anxious, wondering when Gu Cheng would come over.

This bastard, before I married him, he often went to the hospital. After I got married, I never saw him in the hospital again.

He was busy in March and March, and all kinds of training were carried out.

"Yaoyao..." A voice sounded around the corner.

Qin Yao turned around happily, and then, an even greater surprise overwhelmed her mind. She couldn't believe it and rubbed her eyes subconsciously.

Gu Cheng was wearing the same clothes he wore when they first met! She hasn't seen Gu Cheng like this for a long time!

After spending so much time with Captain Gu, the image of little brother Gu when they first met has almost become blurred. She can’t remember Gu Cheng’s face at that time, and only remembers Captain Gu’s usual cold face.

Gu Cheng's temperament today was very gentle, and his expression was extremely soft, everything seemed like the laziness of a warm summer afternoon.

When he was Captain Gu, the teardrop mole on his face was not very obvious, but at this moment, he walked towards her against the wind with a faint smile on his face. The teardrop mole under his eyes was charming and alluring, making him look like a goblin.

"Gu...Gu Cheng!" Qin Yao ran towards him with sparkling eyes. Gu Cheng with a cold face and Gu Cheng with a smile were completely two different people. Even their facial features looked different!

How could there be such a big change!

Facing this face, Qin Yao couldn't even call out the words "Captain Gu". She deeply understood why she had regarded Gu Cheng as "brothers" in the first place.

Even so, her heart was beating wildly for this face. If she had a tail behind her at this moment, it would definitely be swinging wildly.

What Captain Gu? Just tear him apart. She has fallen in love with Comrade Gu from the fishing boat company.

"Gu Cheng, are you tired after coming here? Have you eaten? Did you take a nap at noon? Do you want to lie down in the office and rest for a while?"

"Are you thirsty? Would you like some tea? Or something to eat."

Qin Yao cared for the man beside her attentively, and Gu Cheng put his hands in his pockets, almost unable to resist his "passionate" wife at this time.

Act like this?

He had never seen Qin Yao be so enthusiastic towards him after not going home for a few days.

Gu Cheng was unhappy: "Whose husband do you treat like this?"

"This is the only way I can treat you." Qin Yao hugged Gu Cheng's arm, lowered her head and laughed happily twice, and said with longing: "Holding you like this, it seems like I really married the little brother Gu Cheng I met at the port. My husband is an employee of the fishing boat company."

"So excited, so happy, so unexpected."

"You are the best gift I have ever received on Women's Day."

Gu Cheng: “…”

"Am I so annoying as Captain Gu?"

Qin Yao stood on tiptoe and patted his head, "It's good that you know it, don't say it."

Gu Cheng smiled dotingly and ruffled Qin Yao's hair with his backhand, "This is my gift for today."

He lowered his head and whispered in Qin Yao's ear: "Sister, I'm thirsty, pour me a cup of tea."

Qin Yao covered her ears, her beautiful big eyes opened as round as a cat's. She tried hard to keep a straight face and not say anything. These words made her whole body go limp. What kind of couple activities were they doing? Take her back home and serve her in bed.

No more soap or washing powder.

"What kind of tea do you want?" Qin Yao opened a row of cabinets and displayed several tea cans.

Gu Cheng glanced at the water cup on the desk, "Which one is your cup?"

Qin Yao pointed: "That one."

Gu Cheng walked over, picked up the cup, which was still half full of water. He opened the lid and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Qin Yao went to boil water for tea. Before the water was ready, Deputy Director Liu and Xiao Pan came back. When they saw Gu Cheng in the office, they thought he was a staff member who came to the hospital to deliver goods as he looked very young.

"Are you here to see the director?"

"Wait a minute, the director will be back soon."

Gu Cheng blinked and glanced at Deputy Director Liu in surprise, thinking that this woman was just like his wife Yaoyao, who didn't recognize people.

Director Huang walked into the room and saw Gu Cheng. Her eyes immediately lit up. She held the thermos cup in her hand and said with her lips pursed: "This young man is handsome. Is he twenty years old?"

Gu Cheng: "...about the same."

"He's about the same age as Xiao Qin in our office." Director Huang walked to his desk.

Gu Cheng was in a good mood. During a previous joint exercise, Director Huang gave him the impression of being kind and easy to talk to, a smart guy, and someone who spoke very eloquently. When they met again this time, he found that he was indeed very good at talking.

He was subtly praised for his youth and made the man happy.

"What's your last name, young man?"

"My last name is Gu."

Director Huang waved at him and said, "Xiao Gu, come here. Here is the list. Please sign it."

Gu Cheng: “Ah?”

He walked over very confused, wondering what Director Huang was talking about.

Qin Yao pushed open the door of the office, holding boiled water and tea in her hands. She found that Director Huang and several others were in the office. She quickly quickened her pace and put the boiled water and teapot on the desk.

Deputy Director Liu asked, "Is there any more boiling water?"

"have."

Xiao Pan picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup. When he saw Qin Yao, he deliberately teased her, "Xiao Qin, your husband hasn't come yet? Is he not coming?"

"Yeah, Xiao Qin, why don't you go wait outside?"

Qin Yao looked at Gu Cheng in confusion. What was going on? When she came in and saw Gu Cheng talking to Director Huang, she thought they had known each other before.

"Xiao Gu, please confirm and sign first."

Gu Cheng: "I can't sign."

"Hey, why can't I sign it? What's the problem? Let me calculate it for you..."

Qin Yao poured herself a cup of tea. She felt puzzled. She asked, "Deputy Director Liu, you have met before, right? Do you want me to introduce you?"

Deputy Director Liu didn't care much and replied casually, "I have seen it."

"Xiao Qin, please don't change the subject. Is your husband not coming? How long have you been married? He doesn't even come to couple activities? Does he really care about you? Does he treat you as his wife and lover?"

Xiao Pan felt more and more proud as she spoke: "Don't think you're married well, men don't take you seriously. If a man treats you like a weed, it doesn't matter how good your conditions are."

"Who said that?"

Seeing that it was the young man who was speaking, Xiao Pan started to speak: "Xiao Qin from our office married a husband who doesn't love her."

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

"There's a couples' event today, but her husband refused to come. How long have they been married?"

Gu Cheng: "I've been here all the time."
