Early in the morning, Lin Wencui was awakened from her deep sleep by a series of low growls outside.
I figured my son must be practicing his kung fu, so I looked up at the alarm clock. It was later than usual. He must have been exhausted from being kept up too late by Sun Dajiang last night.
Looking at Sun Dajiang again, with one hand still restlessly placed on his chest, she gently moved Sun Dajiang's hand away and got up to cook.
After the whole family got up, breakfast was already on the table.
After breakfast, Sun Zhengguo took his younger siblings to school, while Sun Dajiang and Lin Wencui walked together toward the steel rolling mill.
After arriving at the steel rolling mill, the two parted ways. Lin Wencui had just arrived at the Women's Federation office when she met her colleague, Sister Wu, who had arrived earlier than her.
Sister Wu's full name is Wu Xiuying. She is 42 years old this year. She is a senior employee of the Women's Federation and a Level 3 clerk. She is usually very generous and can get along with anyone. She has a wide circle of friends. In this steel rolling mill, it is said that there is nothing she does not know. She is known as the gossip.
"Good morning, Sister Wu! You're here early today!"
Lin Wencui was the first to greet them.
"Good morning, Wencui! You look radiant today. What's wrong? Brother Dajiang, you must have been working hard last night, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Wu Xiuying laughed heartily as she spoke, and then gently poked Lin Wencui's waist with her hand.
Although Lin Wencui was also an experienced driver, compared to Wu Xiuying, she was nothing.
Wu Xiuying's words reminded Lin Wencui of the intimate scene with Sun Dajiang last night, and her face instantly turned red.
"Sister Wu, stop making a scene. What kind of inappropriate talk is this so early in the morning? If others hear it, it will have a bad influence."
Lin Wencui also said with a smile.
"Oh! Your face is all red. It seems that Da Jiang has some skills. If only my Lao Li had half the ability of Da Jiang, that would be great. Just thinking about it..."
Seeing that Wu Xiuying was acting like a resentful woman confined to her chambers, and that her words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Lin Wencui didn't want to talk any further. She didn't know what else Wu Xiuying might say if they continued talking, so she casually said something.
"Alright, Sister Wu, you can continue reminiscing about the good old days. I have a document to write, so I'll go now. We can talk again when we have time."
As Lin Wencui was about to leave after speaking, Wu Xiuying quickly grabbed Lin Wencui's arm and whispered something in her ear.
"Don't rush off, Wencui. Have you heard? Our Deputy Director Chen is being transferred. I heard the position is going to be yours. You'll have to look after her then."
All morning, Lin Wencui kept hearing Wu Xiuying's words, like a demonic whisper, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
I had a quick lunch with Sun Dajiang and Lin Jiguo, then spent the afternoon slacking off before finally leaving get off work.
On his way home from get off work, Sun Dajiang noticed that Lin Wencui looked preoccupied, so he asked her what was wrong.
"Wen Cui, what's wrong with you today? I noticed you seemed distracted at lunchtime. Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no, Dajiang, have you heard? Our Deputy Director Chen is being transferred, and some people are saying that I might take over her position."
Lin Wencui said so.
"I already knew that. You have no chance. Don't overthink it."
"Ah! Why? I'm already a Level 1 clerk. Who in the Women's Federation is more qualified than me?"
After hearing Sun Dajiang's words, Lin Wencui asked in confusion.
“I found out a few days ago. I was having tea with Director Nie in the office a few days ago and we talked about it.”
Your chances were pretty good, but Zhang, the staff member from the publicity department, is also vying for the position.
Zhang, the cadre's father, is the secretary of the Youth League Committee, so you can't compete with her. She knows that I have a good relationship with Lao Nie, so she deliberately let him tell me.
"Wen Cui, you're still young, why don't you wait a little longer?"
While explaining the situation, Sun Dajiang comforted Lin Wencui.
"Why should she? Her propaganda department isn't any better than our Women's Federation, so why is she trying to take our place?"
Lin Wencui said angrily.
"There are no positions left in the propaganda department. People are just using this as a stepping stone. They will be transferred to a better place in the future."
"Never mind, if I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's my fate."
After listening to Sun Dajiang's analysis, Lin Wencui stopped worrying and said indifferently.
After they finished speaking, the two silently returned to the courtyard house.
That evening, after dinner, seeing that Lin Wencui was still looking sullen, Sun Dajiang could only try his best to "comfort" her for a long time.
...
The next morning, Sun Dajiang went to the factory office to have tea with Director Nie, only to find that he was not there and had gone to a meeting, so he returned to his own office dejectedly.
A moment later, a loud voice came from outside the door.
"Old Sun, are you there?"
Upon hearing the sound, Sun Dajiang smiled.
"Oh! Isn't this Director Nie? You've finished your meeting?"
As he spoke, Sun Dajiang took out tea leaves and skillfully brewed them.
After the tea was brewed, Director Nie didn't stand on ceremony and took a sip from the teacup.
"Excellent, excellent, good tea."
Director Nie sipped his tea and didn't forget to make a comment.
"When you come over, Old Nie, you must have some good tea."
Director Nie took a few sips, then put down his teacup and stared intently at Sun Dajiang.
"No, Lao Nie, I'm not a woman, why are you looking at me like that?"
Sun Dajiang asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"Hey Lao Sun, you've been hiding your true strength all along! I was worried about you for nothing."
Sun Dajiang scratched his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Director Nie then continued.
"Keep pretending, keep pretending? I bet we'll get a notification soon."
No sooner had Director Nie finished speaking than, as if to verify his words, the loudspeaker outside blared out.
notify:
Comrade Chen Hongying, deputy director of the factory's trade union and women's federation, has been transferred from the factory due to work needs. As decided by the Party Committee of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, Comrade Lin Wencui, a first-level clerk of the trade union and women's federation, will take over her position and will be given the treatment of a deputy section chief at the 18th level. This is hereby announced.
The broadcast was repeated three times before it stopped.
In the Women's Federation office, Lin Wencui, who was working, was overjoyed when she heard the broadcast, and her colleagues around her were all congratulating her.
Lin Wencui couldn't understand it at all. "Didn't they say I had no chance? What's going on?"
Meanwhile, in the electrical engineering department office, Sun Dajiang was also dumbfounded. This script wasn't right!
"Hey bro, what do you think? Let me tell you, I also voted for your wife!"
Director Nie said, showing off.
"Then thank you first, brother. Thanks to your help, Wencui wouldn't have been able to become the deputy director."
Sun Dajiang said gratefully.
"No, bro, I think you've got it wrong. I only cast one vote, I didn't help you at all. Didn't you find this person yourself?"
Director Nie was puzzled and asked in confusion.
"If you didn't help, then who did? Tell us about the meeting, and we'll discuss it."
"At the beginning of the meeting today, my sister-in-law was at a disadvantage in the vote, but in the end, all the people who were previously neutral voted for her."
I was wondering, Dajiang, you found some connections, but you didn't even tell me.
"You have no idea, that made Secretary Zhang of the Youth League Committee so angry his face turned blue."
After listening to Director Nie's description, Sun Dajiang knew where the problem lay.
The neutral faction, and all the neutral faction voted, but I didn't contact them! I'm not familiar with them!
"Who exactly is helping Wencui?"
"Could it be him?"
"Lou Bancheng, is that you?"
Having thought this through, Sun Dajiang stopped pondering it.
The answer will be revealed in two days.
