Chapter 219 Are You Underestimating Me Too Much?
Zhou Ling has always wanted to find a job, but Zhou Yong has been slow to arrange one for her.
The main reason is that there are not many good jobs. Wasn’t Zhou Yong investigated by the disciplinary inspection commission a year ago?
So after the incident was over, he couldn't arrange a job for Zhou Ling immediately, but he always kept this matter in mind.
It is spring sowing time now, and four or five months have passed since he was investigated by the disciplinary inspection commission. It is now time to arrange work for Zhou Ling. Even if some people are dissatisfied, they will not say anything.
Li Baotian frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death: "Zhou Ling's ability is beyond reproach, but being the director of women's affairs is a job that offends people. Let's change her to someone else!"
Zhou Yong chuckled: "Dad, Qi Shurong's situation is out there, who do you think will accept this mess?"
Only someone like Shao Wenjing who is blinded by greed would want to become the director of the Women's Department. Anyone with a bit of common sense would stay away from this position.
Zhou Yong's words left Li Baotian speechless.
"But if Zhou Ling becomes the director of the Women's Department, her family will never have a peaceful life in the future. Aren't you cheating her?"
Zhou Yong: “…?”
As he listened to his father-in-law's words, a line of black lines crossed his forehead.
Even when he had no dealings with Zhou Ling, Zhou Yong never cheated anyone in the Zhou family.
What's more, what Zhou Ling has done is there for everyone to see. If Zhou Yong doesn't like her, he can just ignore her like before. Why would he cheat her?
"Dad, am I the kind of person who cheats people?"
Li Baotian looked at his son-in-law and shook his head slightly.
On the surface, Zhou Yong has good character, which is recognized by everyone.
"You are definitely not that kind of person. Dad knows that. But the position of director of women's affairs is a pitfall..."
Zhou Yong smiled and said, "Dad, have you ever thought about how things would develop if the director of women's affairs was one of ours..."
Family planning must be promoted. If Huaixi Village doesn't want to be in chaos, it can only play a trick with the higher authorities.
Li Baotian paused: "This?"
Zhou Yong looked at his father-in-law: "Dad, do you have any other ideas?"
Li Baotian shook his head mechanically, and Zhou Yong shrugged his shoulders: "Then follow my method..."
To put it bluntly, even if Zhou Ling became the director of the Women's Department, she only needed to shout slogans loudly.
If there is any sign of trouble, she can remind everyone secretly, which will make the work of the women's director easier.
"Isn't this a fraud?"
"Dad, do you think it's feasible to make a big deal out of this?"
Qi Shurong did not commit any fraud, so what did she get in the end?
Not only was he scolded every day, but his entire family was also implicated.
Besides, some things cannot be rigidly defined and require flexibility.
Li Baotian's face froze, and Zhou Yong said again: "Dad, you go home first, I will talk to Zhou Ling."
"good."
Li Baotian went home first, and Zhou Yong stood there waiting for Zhou Ling to come over.
"Brother, I saw you from a distance, why are you standing here?"
"I’m waiting for you."
Zhou Ling showed a surprised look: "Wait for me?"
Zhou Yong didn't beat around the bush and told her the whole story.
At first Zhou Ling frowned when she heard this, but as Zhou Yong spoke, a smile appeared on her face.
"Brother, if that's what you say, then I'm willing to be the director of the Women's Department..."
Zhou Yong looked at Zhou Ling's expression of getting an advantage and acting cute, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching a few times.
"Go home and discuss this with Zhao Min, and then give me an answer."
Zhou Ling opened her mouth and said, "Brother, there is no need to discuss this matter with Zhao Min. I can make the decision myself."
Zhou Yong glanced at Zhou Ling, and there was a hint of advice in his words: "You are husband and wife, you must discuss everything before you proceed."
Zhou Ling was slightly stunned, and she looked straight at her elder brother.
Zhou Yong narrowed his eyes and added: "If you want to live a good life, you must first learn to respect each other."
He said this and walked away, leaving Zhou Ling standing there in a daze.
Zhou Ling came to her senses and went home. She told Zhao Min about what happened and got a different answer.
Zhao Min believed that even with Zhou Yong protecting her, Zhou Ling would not be able to do a good job as the director of women's affairs, so he did not agree with his daughter-in-law taking over the position of director of women's affairs.
Zhou Ling curled her lips after hearing what he said: "You underestimate me too much?"
Zhao Min smiled bitterly and said, "Wife, I'm not looking down on you. It's just that the job of the women's director requires communication with people. With your straightforward personality, you can't do this job..."
Zhou Ling pouted and glared at Zhao Min: "But I want to give it a try. After all, this is a rare job opportunity..."
Zhao Min looked at Zhou Ling and said, "Wife, this job is really not suitable for you."
Zhou Ling lowered her head and muttered, "If I had known you wouldn't agree, I wouldn't have discussed it with you."
Zhao Min smiled and took over the conversation: "For such a big matter, we must discuss it carefully. If we disagree, there will be conflicts between us..."
contradiction?
Zhou Ling glanced at Zhao Min, and only then did she realize the meaning of her elder brother's last two words.
She was glad that Zhou Yong gave her time to go home and discuss the matter with Zhao Min. If she agrees unilaterally, I'm afraid there will be a storm between the couple.
Even after realizing what was going on, Zhou Ling still didn't want to give up this job opportunity.
When the hard way didn't work, she tried the soft way. It was not until before going to bed that Zhao Min agreed to let her go to work.
However, Zhao Min had made it clear in advance that he would let her try the job for a month first, and if she really couldn't do it, she could resign.
Zhou Ling was very happy, but Zhao Min was worried about her.
In fact, Zhou Ling is a very simple-minded person, and whatever is on her mind is reflected on her face.
With such a girl in her condition, how could Zhao Min be confident in letting her serve as the director of women's affairs?
The weather was clear the next day. At around six o'clock in the morning, a crackling sound came from the radio loudspeaker of the Huaixi Village Brigade.
Whenever someone hears this voice, no matter who they are, they will stop and listen quietly to the words on the broadcast.
Soon, Li Baotian's voice came from the radio, announcing that Zhou Ling would serve as the director of women's affairs.
Once the news was announced, many people came out of their homes and gathered in groups of three or five to discuss the matter.
The year before last, a death occurred in the Family Planning Office in the village, and Qi Shurong was forced to resign. Half a year has passed. Now Zhou Ling has become the director of women's affairs and is about to start new work on behalf of family planning.
On his way to work, Zhou Yong was stopped by many villagers and asked about family planning issues. He didn't care about the matter and pushed the matter onto Zhou Ling.
On Zhou Ling's first day at work, the journey was only ten minutes, but because villagers stopped her on the road to ask various questions, she arrived at the brigade at nine o'clock.
"How do you feel?"
Zhou Ling glanced at Zhou Yong who asked this question and replied in a face-saving way: "Not bad!"
fine?
Zhou Yong raised his eyebrows. Zhou Ling responded that it was okay, but her face was full of fatigue.
"In that case, then you should work hard."
When Zhou Yong was about to leave, Zhou Ling hurriedly called out to her elder brother.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Ling looked at Zhou Yong and said weakly: "Brother, I'm actually not good at all. I can't answer some questions..."
Zhou Yong smiled softly without being kind, and Zhou Ling saw it and felt so depressed that she wanted to cry.
Zhou Ling is now a rookie in the workplace and needs Zhou Yong’s guidance on many things.
Under Zhou Yong's patient explanation, Zhou Ling's little head nodded like a chick pecking at rice!
