Chapter 130 Mass Daily
Gu Yuehuai entered the breeding department's office. There were many people in the room, and the one sitting on the chair in the lead was Yu Wen.
She was wearing a military coat, black leather shoes, and had short hair. She wasn't very pretty, but her eyes and eyebrows revealed a sense of competence and sharpness. It was obvious that she was not the kind of woman who would take care of her husband and children.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yu Wen turned around, looked Gu Yuehuai up and down, and then looked away.
Gu Yuehuai narrowed her eyes slightly. She could sense a hint of hostility in Yu Wen's eyes. It was really inexplicable. She and Yu Wen had never dealt with each other in either her previous life or this life. Hostility? Where did it come from?
Suddenly, her eyes flashed and she thought of Qin Wanjiang.
If there is any intersection, there is probably only one Qin Wanjiang. Her mother married Qin Wanjiang, and Yu Wen is Qin Wanjiang's confidant. Thinking of this, Gu Yuehuai raised his hand and touched his face.
She knew very well that she and Lin Jinshu were somewhat similar, so Yu Wen was not hostile to her, but to Lin Jinshu!
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Gu Yuehuai's mouth. She had never thought that Yu Wen had always had such thoughts about Qin Wanjiang. No wonder they got divorced.
Yes, Yu Wen is a divorced person.
However, although Lin Jinshu said she was not competitive, her methods of seducing men were not simple. Whether it was her father Gu Zhifeng or Qin Wanjiang, their hearts were firmly tied to her. Cheating? Not possible.
Gu Yuehuai took a few steps forward and called out, "Deputy Secretary Yu."
Yu Wen nodded indifferently, without deliberately making things difficult for him, and said, "Comrade Gu, our commune has seen your murals and feels that with your painting skills, you are qualified for a good job and can make contributions to the collective and the unit."
Gu Yuehuai curled the corners of his lips, did not respond, and waited for Yu Wen to continue.
These days jobs are basically assigned by the state. In the planned economy era, city dwellers were inseparable from their units, and everyone had to be a "screw". Wherever the state screwed you in, that was where you had to shine.
At this time, the assigned unit is related to personal interests and future destiny. Everyone wants to fight for a good unit. However, good units are scarce resources, and they vary in income, benefits, and types of work.
Gu Yuehuai boasted that she had already demonstrated her skills in wall painting. As long as the leaders of the commune did not specifically target her, she would always have a good job. Even if she did not spend most of her life in this position, she would at least be inseparable from it for the next five years.
She had to work hard for a few years, and after the college entrance examination was resumed in 1977, she would make another effort to go to college!
In 1977, the college entrance examination, which had been suspended for more than a decade, reopened its doors to the general public. At that time, the identity of a college student became an enviable golden signboard. There was a saying that went like this: "Gold 77, silver 78".
In her previous life, the Gu family experienced great changes. Her father died, her eldest brother died, and her second brother got married. She had no one to rely on and was almost forced by Tian Jing to have nowhere to go. How could she have the time to take the college entrance examination?
In the end, Gu Xihuai was the only one in the family who was admitted to university. Unfortunately, he did not end up well.
She remembered that Tian Jing passed the exam with excellent grades and went to the best university in Beijing.
Gu Yuehuai narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding all his emotions.
Yu Wen didn't know what was going on in Gu Yuehuai's mind, so she continued, "The commune feels that you should go to a position that is suitable for you and can bring out your strengths. After two days of discussion, it was decided that you should go to work at the Masses Daily in Huangying Commune."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the office fell silent, and everyone showed envious expressions on their faces.
The Masses Daily belongs to the State Press General Administration, a state-owned institution that leads and manages all types of news media across the country. Moreover, the readers of the Masses Daily are all cadres and advanced masses, so it is definitely a very decent job.
After all, some people who are assigned to work in the "Cleaning Management Station" need to do dirty and tiring work every day, such as sweeping the streets and emptying toilets. Although they also work hard at their posts, their social status is not high.
Of course, every job deserves to be treated well, and everyone who makes a living by his or her own hands deserves respect.
"Masses Daily?" Gu Yuehuai was also surprised.
She originally thought that it would be good enough to get a job as an art director in a printing factory, but she didn't expect to get it in one step and get into such a good unit, the Masses Daily. Even as an apprentice, the monthly salary would be 17 yuan.
Yu Wen glanced at her and replied, "Yes, Mass Daily. I hope Comrade Gu will work hard, take every problem he encounters seriously, and make outstanding achievements."
Gu Yuehuai had calmed down by now and nodded, "Yes, thank you Deputy Secretary Yu and all the commune leaders for your trust and cultivation. I will definitely live up to the organization's expectations of me!"
Although she was surprised and understood that someone must have been behind this, she would definitely not miss this opportunity.
As a national state-owned institution, the status of Masses Daily is self-evident and it has great potential for development.
Yu Wen nodded: "Go back and report tomorrow."
Gu Yuehuai responded and left the office.
She stood at the door of the breeding area, and couldn't help but smile as she thought about embarking on a new journey tomorrow.
Although she knew that she would be assigned to a group after entering the unit and might not get a job that was truly suitable for her, as long as she got in, there would always be a chance for change. What was important was that she was really going to escape from her previous tragic fate.
Fate, it really took a turn.
*
Within one night, the news that Gu Yuehuai was assigned by the commune to work at the Masses Daily spread everywhere.
For a time, Gu Yuehuai's popularity soared, and some people even came to thank him!
In the past, the Gu family was a street-slicker with few visitors. People were afraid of being despised and scorned for having anything to do with the Gu family. But now, they are eager to have even the slightest relationship with them just to borrow some of their fame.
On the way back from work, many people greeted Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai with a smile.
"Old Gu, is it time to get off work? Go back and celebrate!"
"Tsk, Old Gu, your daughter is really promising. What kind of son-in-law do you want to find in the future? Tell me and I will keep an eye out for you. Maybe I can find a suitable one and promote a good relationship!"
"Ting Huai, how old is your sister this year? How about you introduce us to each other?"
“…”
Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai were confused and looked at each other. Finally, in order to avoid the enthusiastic members, they could only quicken their pace and walk back, but they met Huang Fengying on the way.
Gu Zhifeng thought of the strangeness just now and hurriedly called her: "Hey, Director Huang!"
Huang Fengying turned around and saw that it was Gu Zhifeng. She smiled and said, "Old Gu, are you off work?"
Gu Zhifeng did not dare to delay and asked immediately: "Director Huang, has something happened to my daughter? Why are there so many people asking along the way?"
Huang Fengying was delighted and said with envy, "You don't know yet? Your daughter, Xiao Gu, was recruited by the commune leaders for her good mural painting skills. It's a good company, Mass Daily!"
