The manuscript can not only be seen by the Prime Minister, but also broadcast nationwide!
Any one of these can be said to be a great honor, but Li Xia has them all!
Minister Wei's face was filled with smiles, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were more than usual.
How could he not be happy? When he attended the meeting this time, his unit's propaganda poster was placed in the most prominent position! He was also specially praised at the meeting, saying that he prepared it very carefully. The propaganda ministers of other units couldn't help but come to him to ask who wrote the manuscript this time and whether their unit had recruited a capable person.
After all, Li Xia and Zhang Xiting have very different writing styles, and anyone who has read their articles can tell them apart.
After all, he is an old hand in publicity, it is impossible that he can't see this.
In response to these people's inquiries, Minister Wei said complacently: "Don't ask. The living conditions in our border areas are a bit poor, but her lover is a soldier in our military region. You can't transfer such a talent this time!"
When everyone heard this, they all congratulated Li Xia.
"Li Xia, you are so amazing!"
“It turns out there are people whose level from the beginning is at a level that I will never be able to reach in my entire life!”
Song Langqing also smiled at Li Xia and said, "Congratulations."
Li Xia smiled back at him: "Congratulations."
They were both praised, so it's not an exaggeration to say that they were both happy.
Only Zhang Xiting looked at these young people with laughter and gratitude, and was still a little unresponsive.
Li Xia's article was praised by the central leadership? There must be something wrong with it, right? Thinking about it carefully, even the articles he wrote in recent years have not been praised by the central leadership.
How is it possible that such a young female comrade like Li Xia could write such an article?
"Xiao Wei, did you make a mistake?" Zhang Xiting asked after a long time.
Minister Wei looked at Zhang Xiting, who had a serious expression on his face. He had long guessed that he would question it, so he took out the transcript of Li Xia's article and handed it to Zhang Xiting: "Mr. Zhang, are you sure? You will understand everything after reading these two articles."
This time, Zhang Xiting did not refuse to read Li Xia's article.
Because he also wanted to find out how well Li Xia's article was written.
However, when he really looked at it, he understood everything.
He has been writing for decades, from the old society to the new society, and he prides himself on being a good writer. It is precisely because of this that he is arrogant and looks down on others, especially the young people in the department, thinking that they have not been tempered, and the articles they write are just a pile of rhetoric, not profound enough, and the whole article is full of new words to express sorrow.
But after reading Li Xia's articles, he realized that being young does not necessarily mean one cannot write well.
Li Xia's writing style is not very flowery, but she uses precise words and vividly describes the characters' psychology. She does not express her thoughts in a rigid way. She expresses her thoughts and intentions through the details of the article, slowly letting readers see and accept them.
After a long moment, he let out a laugh.
This smile was very complicated. It was a combination of the joy of seeing a good article and a bitter smile at myself.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiting stood up, walked to Li Xiadi, and said to her sincerely: "Li Xia, I read your article, it is indeed very well written. I was too arrogant and looked down on you in the past. I am sorry for this. At the same time, congratulations to you."
Li Xia was stunned. She didn't expect Zhang Xiting to come here just to say such things to her.
She thought that based on Zhang Xiting's previous behavior, he would mock her again, and she had even thought about how to fight back.
This way, she won't be able to do anything to her.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang." This was all Li Xia could say in response to Zhang Xiting's kindness at the moment.
The rest of the people stared in amazement at Zhang Xiting, who usually mocked everyone and looked down on everyone, but now took the initiative to apologize to Li Xia. They were all dumbfounded.
This...are they seeing things?
Mr. Zhang actually apologized to someone? And his attitude was so nice?
Who was the person who always treated them in a sarcastic way and never looked at them in the eye? Was it Mr. Zhang in front of them?
Zhang Xiting nodded to Li Xia, and then said to Minister Wei: "Xiao Wei, I feel relieved to see that our Propaganda Department has successors.
I know you have always thought that I am too old and want me to retire and give these young people more opportunities. In fact, it is not that I don't want to give them more opportunities, but I think these kids are not capable of taking on the responsibility. Now that Li Xia has come to our department, I can retire with peace of mind and go home to enjoy my grandchildren.
My little grandson pesters me to play with him every day. I used to say that I had to go to work and was busy, but now I am finally free. "
After saying this, Zhang Xiting laughed heartily, and as he walked out of the office, he said to Minister Wei: "Xiao Wei, I will go to write my retirement letter later. I hope that my Propaganda Department will get better and better after I am no longer in it."
After hearing this, Li Xia suddenly felt that this old man was not so annoying after all, he was just a little too stubborn.
Li Xia had seen this kind of self-important old scholar before. Apart from being arrogant and difficult to get along with, he was actually very sincere about academics.
Looking at his back, Li Xia said, "Take care, Mr. Zhang."
After hearing this, everyone said in unison: "Take care, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Xiting looked back and saw golden sunlight pouring in, shining brightly. At this moment, an invisible baton was passed on.
Song Langqing said to Li Xia, "In fact, Mr. Zhang's articles are also very good. He once wrote for the Central Military Commission. However, in recent years, his writing has become too preachy and is no longer suitable."
After getting off work and returning home, Li Xia shared what happened today with Gu Weicheng.
"Weicheng, do you still remember the old man Zhang I mentioned to you before? Today he actually took the initiative to propose retirement."
Li Xia had already told Gu Weicheng about Zhang Xiting's affairs. Gu Weicheng kept in mind what his wife said and naturally would not forget it.
So when Li Xia mentioned it, Gu Weicheng said, "He actually took the initiative to retire? Didn't he refuse to retire even though he had reached retirement age? What happened?"
Li Xia told Gu Weicheng what had happened.
After a long while, Gu Weicheng said, "It seems that this person is not a bad person. He just felt that the people in the department were not capable of taking on important responsibilities, so he has always been unwilling to step down. Now that you are in the department, he feels relieved."
"Yeah, I originally had a bad impression of him, but after listening to what he said today, I was touched a lot." Li Xia sighed.
Then he said, "By the way, Minister Wei also said that my article might be broadcast nationwide, and asked me to pay more attention to CCTV in the next two days."
"I'll go get the radio." Gu Weicheng went in immediately and took out the radio he had just bought last time.
Li Xia has seldom used this radio since it was bought, but An An likes it very much and uses it to listen to some storytelling. Last time he found a channel that talks about Water Margin, and he listens to it for a while every day after finishing his homework.
Gu Weicheng had just tuned into the central station when he heard the announcer say, "Now please listen to the article "Military Soul" from the Yuncheng Military Region's propaganda bulletin!"
"It's on, it's on, Acropolis, this is the article I wrote!" Li Xia didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that her article would be the one that came up when she turned on the radio.
Gu Weicheng had read Li Xia's article, so he naturally knew that this was her article.
Looking at Li Xia's excitement, his eyes were filled with a doting smile.
He smiled and said, "You listen first. I'll go call An An to come in and listen together."
After saying this, Gu Weicheng strode out and stood at the courtyard wall, waving at An An who was teaching Ma Aidang to do her homework: "An An, come back first. The article written by Mom is being broadcast on the recording station. Come and listen to it too."
When An An heard this, he immediately ran away, and Ji Feng also hurried to follow his little master.
Upon hearing this, Ma Aidang immediately dropped the pen in his hand, walked into the house and shouted loudly: "Mom! Mom! Aunt Li's articles can be heard on the radio, turn on the radio quickly!"
