Chapter 286 First Day on the Job
"Director, why are you so insistent on having Lin Xia?" Zhu Airong felt uneasy without asking.
The Women's Federation often needs to organize activities, and as the number of people gradually increases, we will always have to prioritize things in the future.
Director Pei thinks so highly of Lin Xia. Could it be possible that a newcomer like her could surpass them and become the leader?
"Comrade Lin Xia is not only highly educated, but also has many unique ideas. If she joins the work of the Women's Federation, it will definitely be beneficial." Director Pei didn't pay much attention to Lin Xia at first. He only knew that she was an educated military wife, special but not the only one.
It was not until later that her explanation of having a boy or a girl made Director Pei's eyes light up. He felt that this statement would be helpful in abolishing feudal ideas. Just after emerging from the old society, many people gave birth to girls and not only abandoned them but also did worse things.
Later, Lin Xia's speeches many times made Director Pei feel refreshed. Last time, she couldn't wait to invite Lin Xia to the Women's Federation, but she was rejected unexpectedly. Now she finally agreed. Director Pei's mood today has become very good since the beginning.
Seeing Director Pei's happy steps, Zhu Airong felt a strong sense of crisis. She always felt that sooner or later they would become Lin Xia's foil.
After Lin Xia returned home, she quickly recorded her ideas and then went to cook leisurely. The three little ones were already a little hungry, but when they saw their mother writing, they obediently ate their snacks.
After Lu Yuxiu returned home in the evening.
"Director Pei invited me to work at the Women's Federation again." Lin Xia was still very happy when she thought of the word 'again'.
Lu Yuxiu caught the subtlety in her tone and asked tentatively, "Do you agree?"
"How do you know?" Lin Xia was a little surprised, and then explained, "Director Pei has invited me twice, and this time he invited me directly to his office. If I refuse again, it would be very disrespectful.
The most important thing is that I think the work of the Women’s Federation is very meaningful.”
This job is not easy. If there is one thing that is the most difficult to change, it is people’s concepts. It is not easy to break the ideas that we have been taught since childhood and accept the ideas of the new society.
Lin Xia feels that this job is quite challenging and also very motivating.
Thinking that she had to take care of three children and now had to go to work, Lu Yuxiu was afraid that she would be too tired. He wanted to persuade her not to be too tired, but when he saw her eyes shining and her whole body glowing when she talked about these things, he couldn't say the words that came to his lips.
"If you are too tired, don't force yourself to go on." Lu Yuxiu looked at Lin Xia with warmth in his eyes. He had never seen Lin Xia like this before, and he couldn't help feeling a little strange.
Lin Xia happily shared her feelings and thoughts with Lu Yuxiu. Occasionally, when the noise was too loud, she realized that there were two little ones sleeping in the room. She muttered to herself that it would be better to let them sleep in separate rooms as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be able to have a pleasant chat.
Seeing that the two little guys were sleeping soundly and showed no signs of being woken up, Lin Xia felt relieved and immediately turned down the volume and continued talking.
When Lin Xia's voice became hoarse and inexplicably sexy, Lu Yuxiu couldn't help but lower his head.
"Um...child..." Lin Xia was caught off guard by the sneak attack, and in a hurry she remembered that she had a child.
It’s better to let them sleep in separate rooms as soon as possible!
At this moment, Lu Yuxiu's thoughts inexplicably agreed with Lin Xia's.
The two poor little guys probably never imagined in their dreams that their parents were already planning to kick them out of the room.
Lin Xia started reading the newspaper at home. Her family had never subscribed to it before, so she specially asked Director Pei to get it back from the Women's Federation, mainly to learn about the propaganda content of the Women's Federation.
The main reason was that Director Pei had told her that she might have to do a lot of publicity work after joining the Women's Federation, so she wanted to learn more about it. A good general does not fight an unprepared battle. Although she is not a general, as a veteran in the workplace, this is an essential professional skill.
In the past two days, Lin Xia explained to the children what work is and made them understand that she was about to start working.
The three children reacted differently. An An was the quickest to accept it. She only asked whether Lin Xia would leave home. When she learned that she would go to work during the day and come back at night, she nodded in agreement. The little girl was just afraid that Lin Xia would be like her classmate's mother and would not be able to go home for a long time.
The other two little ones didn’t understand at first and cried a little, but when they found out that they would be taken to work with them, they stopped crying immediately.
That morning, Lin Xia took her three children to work early. An An had not started school yet, so he had to go with her.
She arrived very early, but the table belonging to her had already been cleared. Now she and Wang Jiao, the pregnant woman, arrived. They still sat facing each other, while the other two people sat in a pair.
"Hello, I'm Wang Jiao. I'll have to trouble you with the work later. I don't know when I'll be pregnant..." If she went to give birth, Lin Xia would have to share a lot of work, and she felt embarrassed about it.
If Wang Jiao said this in the future workplace, she would probably offend a lot of people. But Lin Xia observed for a while and saw that she was very honest when she spoke. She felt sorry for him, so she smiled and replied, "It's my duty. I still have to ask you more questions about work."
It seems that the workplace now is not as complicated as in later generations. Lin Xia felt a little relieved. Otherwise, she might run away and start over. She didn't want to be so tired.
Wang Jiao is going to give birth soon. When she sees two fair and tender little ones of the same size, her heart melts and she is extremely envious. She says frankly that it would be great if she could give birth to one like them.
Lin Xia comforted her, saying that babies are ugly when they are born, but there is a high chance that they will become good-looking after raising them.
Not long after, the other two also came and greeted Lin Xia one by one. The woman with two short braids was called Ding Qin, and the other one with short hair was called Zhu Airong. These two were "old hands" in the Women's Federation and seemed to have a long history. Lin Xia smiled and chatted with them all.
Director Pei arrived not long after. Seeing that they had already introduced themselves to each other, he stopped talking and went straight to the point: "Wang Jiao, take Lin Xia to learn more about the work content."
Lin Xia heard that this arrangement was meaningless. It would indeed help her get familiar with the subject faster if she had someone to guide her.
Wang Jiao gave some information to Lin Xia and asked her to take a look first. Lin Xia did not refuse, thinking that it would be good to know more.
"Lin Xia, take a look at these too." Ding Qin accepted whatever Wang Jiao said and put a pile of information in front of Lin Xia.
