Chapter 139 Chen Tang: Report it, it doesn’t matter

Miao Yuanyuan, who had two braids, had sharp eyes and stood in front of Director Liang's seat and said in a serious tone:

“I know Director Liang is tolerant of Sister Shen Tang, and I also know that Sister Shen Tang is talented, but she only organizes the materials and goes home every day at work. If it were normal times, it would be fine, but this is a busy time, and she still has a lot of free time after finishing the tasks at hand. Why doesn’t she share some of the tasks of other colleagues? This is unfair to others!”

She did not avoid Chen Tang. In her opinion, she was fighting for the collective interests. As long as Chen Tang was taking the country's money, she should do more for the country. How could she be so sneaky?

Men should be used like cows, and women should be used like men!

Chen Tang could obviously do more, but Director Liang protected her and gave her all kinds of conveniences. What do other people in the office think?

Miao Yuan knew that she would offend people, but she was not afraid. She was fighting for the collective, so naturally the previous vested interests would hate her.

As long as the beneficiaries share the benefits with others, countless people will be grateful to her.

Thinking of this, Miao Yuan felt that he was particularly great.

She must follow the example of her ancestors who fought for the interests of women in New China!

Director Liang was overwhelmed. Due to her status, she explained in a gentle voice: "Comrade Miao, although Comrade Shen does not have to work, she still needs to complete tasks at home. For each manuscript, Comrade Shen needs to consult a lot of information when writing the article, and sometimes even needs to visit and verify whether the content is true.

Secondly, Comrade Chen Tang's writing style is more outstanding than that of other people in the Propaganda Department. The words and sentences she uses, as well as the content and meaning, do not need much polishing and modification. One person can complete the repetitive work of several people, and it can also be published in newspapers, which makes the masses deeply touched.

You see she is doing it easily, but it won’t be easy if this job is handed over to others.”

The families of people in the military district have low educational levels and most of them come from rural areas. Those who have attended high school are praised as intellectuals.

What's more, the military region had just been established not long ago, and Tian Xiaotian's junior high school education was considered high. After a few years, not only did a few people fail to make any progress, but they were also occupying the toilet without doing anything.

Otherwise, Director Liang would not have wanted to recruit Chen Tang.

There are people with literary talent and academic qualifications in this era, but since they have the ability, why don't they go to work as cadres in a news agency instead of coming to your propaganda department which is a barren place with only a few people?

Talent is scarce, so preferential treatment is naturally required.

Director Liang told Miao Yuan very tactfully that the other person was capable enough and you couldn't just think that he was capable and use him as several people.

Chen Tang's salary is the lowest in the Propaganda Department except for temporary workers.

Considering that she has a child at home who needs to be breastfed, allowing her to work from home instead of working in the office not only highlights the humanity of the army, but also solves the problem of many military wives in family compounds who cannot take care of both family and work at the same time.

But Miao Yuan didn't think so. She was full of justice and passion, hoping to serve the country with her life, and she only had the idea that those who were capable should do more work.

"Director Liang, how can you belittle other people in the Propaganda Department? Sister Chen Tang is capable, but there are many capable people in the Propaganda Department. How do you know that they can't compare to Sister Chen Tang? I think you should give them a chance!"

The eyes of temporary workers and those who visited to investigate lit up.

The few people who had been sitting in the office working quickly looked away and were busy at their own posts.

They didn't think they could compare to Chen Tang. Before Chen Tang came, they were the ones who looked up information, polished the manuscripts, and then handed them over to Director Liang for revision and finalization.

It was okay for manuscripts such as notices and announcements, as they had experience and could just write them as they were written. But for those to be published in newspapers, they were rejected again and again, and it was so painful to revise them.

Anyone who works in this industry will feel a lot of pressure.

They don't want to do it.

Miao Yuan continued, "Sister Chen Tang has a child at home, so she can go home to breastfeed when the time comes, and then come back after breastfeeding, right?

She is so young and capable, she should work harder for the organization!

Look at our Propaganda Department. If everyone is as relaxed as Sister Chen Tang, how many people would we need to recruit to get all this done?"

Chen Tang hid in the water room to get hot water. The kettle had a large capacity, but she took a long time to fill it up and still couldn't get it full. She pricked up her ears and listened to Miao Yuan reporting her to Director Liang, without any ripples in her heart.

To be honest, she actually didn't want to do it anymore.

Not much salary, but so much trouble.

The money I earn from writing novels at home in one month is equivalent to the annual salary of the propaganda department.

But she needs to accumulate connections and experience.

If you stay at home for a long time alone, you will develop social phobia. This is how she gradually became socially phobic in her previous life.

Writing novels can be tiring, especially in this era when society was not yet open. She had to be extremely cautious every time she wrote, for fear of being caught by others.

Before the 1980s, she would not have considered writing novels as a long-term career.

So she must have a job.

Besides, this job is relatively easy for her and she won't quit easily.

If Miao Yuan could convince Director Liang to let her work on duty, then she would definitely have to delegate some of the tasks in her hands.

Working in the Propaganda Department was actually the easiest job. She had seen Zhou Qiaolan and Tian Xiaotian queue up to buy grain at the supply and marketing cooperative during working hours several times.

Chen Tang was not worried about the family. Little He Zhi no longer needed to be fed several times a day. Aunt Zhang was taking care of him. She would go back once at noon to feed him, and she didn't need to worry about anything else.

So no matter how Miao Yuan reports her, she doesn't really care.

Director Liang sighed: "Comrade Miao, you are still too young. Let me give you a chance. Since you think Comrade Chen Tang makes the job easier, why don't you let a regular employee in the office switch with her?"

Miao Yuan responded with great confidence: "Okay, Director, just watch."

When Chen Tang saw that they had finished their conversation, he took some water and sat down at his workstation.

There was no embarrassment on Miao Yuan's face. She walked up to Chen Tang and told her about what she had just reported.

“Sister Chen Tang, although this matter is not good for you, it is good for the group, I hope you will not refuse.”

Chen Tang smiled faintly: "Okay, see who is willing to exchange with me and also willing to take on other tasks in the office."

Miao Yuan immediately chose Qian Ling, who had previously exchanged jobs with Tian Xiaotian.

However, as soon as Qian Ling saw her coming, she took the information she had sorted out and ran to Director Liang to report.

Miao Yuan felt a little embarrassed and went to find Zhou Qiaolan again.

Zhou Qiaolan lowered her head and focused on her own work, looking extremely busy, and didn't give her any chance to disturb her.

There are not many people in the office. Apart from Director Liang and two clerks, there is only Deputy Director Xu.

However, Deputy Director Xu and Director Liang have different divisions of labor. They are both responsible for external work. As a deputy director, it is impossible for her to exchange jobs with Shen Tang.

Miao Yuan felt unhappy and thought these people were really ungrateful.

Chen Tang's job is so easy, just a few more tasks, but Qian Ling and Zhou Qiaolan are so resistant. They deserve to be useless.

Since no one agreed, Chen Tang went back directly. She didn't care how Miao Yuan glared at her.

Miao Yuan was so angry that she was walking back to the dormitory in a depressed mood after work, when suddenly Tian Xiaotian came after her and grabbed her arm.

"Xiao Yuan, don't be sad, they just don't want to offend Chen Tang. In fact, your suggestion is very good."

Miao Yuan sighed: "Then why is no one willing to exchange positions with Sister Chen Tang? Sister Chen Tang has agreed."

She was afraid that Chen Tang would not agree, so she prepared a lot of words to persuade her, but she didn't expect that Chen Tang was the one who responded to her the most, which made her hold back all the words in her heart.

Tian Xiaotian thought to herself, Miao Yuan is really stupid.

The position for Chen Tang did not exist originally, so why did it suddenly appear?

That’s because Director Liang needs an assistant!

Other people are capable of taking on this position. Do we need to recruit one more person?

Tian Xiaotian wouldn't remind her.

She smiled and gave her some advice: "Actually, I have an idea."

"I'll switch with Shen Tang."
