Wu Shuang was still muttering anxiously:
"Jing Que said she had something urgent to do at home and she didn't say how long she'd be gone. It seems her family is from the same place as Lin Qiao's. What's the name of the village? Oh, look at my stupid brain..."
Fang Ya pretended to think of a solution for her, patted Wu Shuang's shoulder and said soothingly:
"Sister Wu Shuang, don't worry, I'll calculate the time for you."
"Since Sister Jingque's home isn't in the city, even the nearest suburban county will take at least two days to get there. Further away, it might take three or four days, so I'll need to allow for another one or two days..."
"I think it would be safer to ask for at least a week's leave. If the leave time is too short, it would be bad if Sister Jingque can't make it back."
Wu Shuang felt that what Fang Ya said made sense and was much more comprehensive than what she had considered. She nodded to her gratefully.
"You're right. I should take a few more days off. At worst, I can just take my leave early when Jingque comes back."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Fang. If I hadn't met you, I really don't know what I would do!"
Fang Ya smiled, a smile that was meaningful:
"Sister Wu Shuang, why are you being so polite to me? Sister Jing Que always takes care of me and even teaches me how to put on makeup. Shouldn't I be considerate of her?"
Wu Shuang felt warm inside when she heard her words. She nodded continuously and thought that Fang Ya was a good child who knew how to be grateful.
But when Wu Shuang thought about having to go in alone to face Captain Liang, her calves began to feel weak.
She subconsciously looked for help at Fang Ya, who was standing aside and "giving way" to her, and swallowed her saliva:
"Xiao Fang...can I trouble you with one more thing..."
Fang Ya smiled and took Wu Shuang's hand, saying warmly:
"Sister Wu Shuang, if you have any problems, just tell me. We are all good colleagues in the same unit. If there is anything that is bothersome, I will definitely help if I can!"
Seeing Fang Ya was so kind, Wu Shuang shamelessly stated her request:
"Xiao Fang, don't look at my age, but I'm as timid as a mouse. I don't dare to talk to the boss. As soon as I start talking, I get anxious and short of breath, and I can't even finish a sentence."
"Look, you're also about to go in and report to Captain Liang. Could you...could you please say a few more words and ask for leave for Sister Jingque?"
"I'm afraid I can't speak well and can't do this well."
After Fang Ya heard her hesitant words, her eyes suddenly lit up and the smile on her lips deepened:
"No problem, Sister Wu Shuang, it's just a few words. I'll go in then!"
Wu Shuang was immediately overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly:
"Thank you so much, Xiao Fang. I'll wait for your good news outside!"
Just standing in the corridor outside the headman's office made Wu Shuang very nervous. After getting Fang Ya's consent, she immediately wanted to run downstairs to breathe some fresh air.
Fang Ya watched Wu Shuang's figure disappear at the stairs with a smile. The next second, she immediately took out a pen from her pocket and wrote a long paragraph of praise in the employee evaluation column. At the end, she wrote a name in a flamboyant manner - Shao Jingque!
She put away her pen, checked the evaluation content, put a smile on her face again, and then walked back to the headmaster's office with confidence and knocked on the door.
The voice of Captain Liang came from the door:
"Come in."
Fang Ya pushed open the door and was about to greet Captain Liang when she suddenly discovered that Deputy Captain Qu was also in his office. She quickly greeted the two with a smile on her face.
"Hello, Captain Liang, and Deputy Captain Qu!"
Qu Jingyun just raised his eyelids and glanced at her, nodded slightly without saying anything, with an indifferent look on his face.
Fang Ya's smile froze, she knew that Deputy Director Qu might not even know who she was. In her eyes, an apprentice makeup artist who had not yet been promoted was probably not even considered an employee of the art troupe.
However, Captain Liang recognized her. After all, this was Fang Ya's third time submitting her report for regularization.
In fact, he had a good impression of this girl. She was polite and motivated. He had sought the opinion of Liu Cuirong, her supervisor, on the two previous occasions when Fang Ya was offered a permanent position. However, Liu Cuirong said both times that Fang Ya's skills were not up to par and she still needed to learn.
Seeing that this is the last month of her internship, Fang Ya must have come to him today to submit her report for regularization.
Head Liang smiled amiably:
"Comrade Xiao Fang, how are you doing with Comrade Lao Liu this month?"
When he mentioned Liu Cuirong, Fang Ya immediately smiled and nodded repeatedly:
"Thank you for your concern, Team Leader. Sister Liu took great care of me and taught me many makeup techniques. She was also willing to give me the opportunity to help Sister Jingque with her makeup. Sister Jingque was very satisfied with the result. I feel like I have made a lot of progress in this month!"
"Oh? Really?"
Captain Liang was a little surprised. If it was true as Fang Ya said, that Liu Cuirong was willing to let her do Shao Jingque's makeup, and if even the always picky Shao Jingque was satisfied with her makeup, then her makeup skills must have reached a high level.
Even Qu Jingyun, who was fiddling with her nails, couldn't help but look up and give Fang Ya a serious look after hearing these words.
She was not interested in Fang Ya's makeup skills simply because she heard her mention Shao Jingque.
Fang Ya immediately noticed that the attitudes of the two leaders in the office had changed, and immediately took advantage of the situation and said:
"Yes, Captain Liang, Sister Jingque even wrote a review for me! Please take a look!"
She respectfully handed the application form for regularization to Team Leader Liang. Team Leader Liang took it and saw that there were indeed a lot of praise words in the employee evaluation column, and the signature was Shao Jingque.
Captain Liang smiled and said:
"Not bad, Comrade Xiao Fang, you've received recognition from your comrades so quickly. Keep up the hard work!"
As he spoke, he picked up the pen at hand, opened the cap and prepared to write in the column for leadership opinions.
Fang Ya was extremely excited when she saw this. She knew that the three words "Shao Jingque" were effective in front of the leaders. She just took advantage of Shao Jingque's absence and wrote a few comments in her handwriting with no evidence. If Shao Jingque had not avoided her at the beginning and had said a few good words for her in front of Captain Liang early on, she would have definitely been promoted long ago!
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qu Jingyun, who was sitting opposite Captain Liang, suddenly became interested. She stood up and walked over with a smile:
"Let me see what the other comrades think. If he's really a good seedling, we must focus on training him!"
As she spoke, she picked up Fang Ya's application for regularization from the desk. Fang Ya's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Seeing that Qu Jingyun seemed to be really reading the review written by "Shao Jingque" for her, Fang Ya tried hard to calm her suddenly accelerated heartbeat, and kept comforting herself that she would definitely not be discovered by her.
After all, she had been observing and imitating Shao Jingque all the time these days, imitating her dress, her gestures, and even her handwriting...
After all, she just wants to be someone like Shao Jingque who shines everywhere!
Qu Jingyun's eyes moved back and forth on those few short lines of words, and finally landed on the signature written in a flamboyant style.
