When I got home, An An was waiting at the door.
Seeing her coming back with something, he asked, "Mom, didn't you catch up with Xiaohao?"
Li Xia met An An's pure eyes and didn't know how to explain to An An.
Influenced by his father, the child has special respect for martyrs and is also very caring towards their children.
How should she tell An An that Jiang Xiaohao didn't consider her a good friend at all, but just used this relationship to come home and steal her mother's manuscript?
Li Xia felt very distressed. She took a deep breath and said, "Well, he walked too fast. Mom didn't catch up with him."
Wait until she figures out what to say, and then find a suitable time to tell An An the truth.
"It's okay. I'll bring him home to play tomorrow and give it to him tomorrow." An An said.
"Okay." Li Xia nodded, "An An, Mom has to go out for a while now, you stay at home. Dad will be off work soon, if he asks about me, just say I'm doing something and will be back soon."
"Okay, Mom. Don't worry. I'll do my homework at home." An An said sensibly.
Li Xia left home and went directly to Linghe Town Radio Station.
In the radio station, Director Cao was holding the manuscript that Su Wenyan had just handed to him, and he praised it repeatedly: "Not bad, it's really well written."
The idea of this article is very good. It starts from the theme of "preferring sons over daughters", digs deeper, and then mentions "sex-changing medicine". In the story, the protagonist took the sex-changing medicine in order to have a son, but ended up giving birth to a deformed baby. The ending of the story also makes people reflect.
"Su Wenyan has written a good article this time. It seems that I didn't push her hard enough before. This manuscript doesn't seem to be written by the same person as the previous ones." Director Cao muttered to himself.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Director Cao said, but he was curious, who is it? Everyone in the station had gone off work at this time.
Li Xia pushed open the door and nodded to Director Cao: "Director Cao, it's me."
"Comrade Li? How did you find time to come to our radio station? Please take a seat." When Director Cao saw Li Xia, he immediately stood up and poured her tea.
Although Li Xia could not come to work at the radio station, Director Cao appreciated the articles Li Xia wrote and naturally treated her very well.
Li Xia shook her head: "Don't bother, Director Cao, I'm not thirsty. I came here to talk to you about something important."
"What's the matter?" Director Cao asked.
Suddenly Director Cao had an idea in his mind. Why did he feel that the style of the article he had just read was somewhat similar to the article that Li Xia published in the newspaper last time?
Before he met Li Xia, he just thought that the article was well written.
This thought came to my mind when I saw Li Xia.
Could it be that Su Wenyan imitated Li Xia's writing style? Or... this article was not written by Su Wenyan at all?
When this thought came to his mind, Director Cao broke out in cold sweat. Su Wenyan's behavior was plagiarism!
Li Xia glanced at the manuscript on the table and said, "Director Cao, this manuscript on the table should be given to you by Su Wenyan. The content is about the fetal rebirth medicine. The protagonist is named Azhen and lives in a small fishing village."
Li Xia was right about everything. Director Cao didn't say anything because he had already guessed what was going on.
Li Xia continued, "Director Cao, I wrote this manuscript, and I finished it half a month ago."
"I have submitted the main manuscript to the newspaper, and it may be published in tomorrow's newspaper. Today my son brought his classmates to play at home, and then I saw this child secretly took my manuscript and gave it to Su Wenyan. I guess Su Wenyan had someone steal my manuscript, probably for the radio station, so she came directly to you."
"My main manuscript was sent to the newspaper office half a month ago. You can find out if you check. In addition, the newspaper that will publish this article will be delivered to the leaders by the newspaper deliveryman before work tomorrow at the latest."
"I happened to meet Ding Pingping on the way. She told me that our radio station is going to the city to participate in a competition tomorrow? Director Cao, then this manuscript cannot be used, otherwise the radio station will be caught up in a plagiarism storm."
After Li Xia finished speaking, Director Cao was already sweating profusely.
The Beijing Military News is a large newspaper company backed by the state and endorsed by the central government.
Does he still want to keep his job as the director of the radio station after participating in the competition with an article plagiarized from the Beijing Military News?
Director Cao took out a handkerchief and kept wiping the sweat off his head. After a while, he stammered and said:
"Comrade Li, thank you for coming to tell me this. If you hadn't come to tell me this, I would have gone to the city to compete tomorrow morning and would have been too late to read the newspaper. I might have missed the truth and it would have been too late!"
By then, he won’t be able to wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River!
"This Su Wenyan is so despicable. It's bad enough that she can't write a good article, but how could she do such a thing as plagiarism!" Director Cao gritted his teeth when he mentioned Su Wenyan.
How could he not be angry? Su Wenyan almost made him lose his position as director.
"Comrade Li, don't worry. Our radio station will never allow such people to continue working. We cannot want such social parasites and scum!" Director Cao assured Li Xia.
Li Xia was not worried about this matter. Su Wenyan was not in a clear mind and wanted to steal her manuscript to participate in the competition. This time she shot herself in the foot.
Seeing Director Cao's good attitude, Li Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Then this manuscript cannot be used. Does that mean our radio station cannot participate in the competition?"
Director Cao sighed: "There are too few talented people in this town. Most of them have not even finished elementary school. At most, they have only finished junior high school and cannot write any good articles. Of course, except for you, Comrade Li!"
Director Cao remembered that Li Xia also had a junior high school diploma and immediately explained.
Li Xia couldn't help laughing after seeing this: "It's okay, Director Cao, just continue talking."
Her real diploma is not from junior high school, but from a college degree.
“So when I heard that Su Wenyan graduated from high school and almost went to college, I thought I had recruited a talent. Who knew that she had no talent for writing at all, and what she wrote really can't be compared with yours. Her ideological awareness is not good, and the articles she wrote have no purpose and depth.” Director Cao shook his head.
"If I had known that your articles were so good, I would never have let her take your place, ah..."
After all that, I come back to the topic.
Seeing Director Cao at a loss, Li Xia took the initiative to say:
"Director Cao, it's not realistic for me to come to the radio station to work right now, but if you need me, I can write a manuscript temporarily and let our radio station take it to participate in the city's competition tomorrow."
Director Cao was stunned for a moment, then stood up from his chair.
He bowed deeply to Li Xia and said excitedly, "If that's the case, it would be great. Comrade Li, it is said that it is easier to add flowers to a beautiful woman than to send charcoal in the snow. You have really helped me a lot!"
Director Cao is a dozen years older than Li Xia, so according to seniority, it is not excessive for Li Xia to call him uncle.
Li Xia was embarrassed to accept such a gift from Director Cao, so she stood up quickly and said, "Director Cao, please stop being like this. Even if you want to help someone in need, you have to consider whether the person is worthy of it. Director Cao, you are sensible, so I am willing to help you."
She was willing to be the one to help Director Cao because she saw that he was a good person.
Li Xia spent more than an hour writing a 5,000-word article titled "Rebirth."
Director Cao was also a down-to-earth person. He took the initiative to say, "Comrade Li, you are kind-hearted and willing to help others. I can't ask you for help for nothing. How about this? I will pay you for the manuscript you write based on the thousand words you publish in newspapers and magazines!"
