Chapter 192: Confidence comes from oneself
Under his guidance, Chen Xiang and Zhou Dongmeng came to the director's office.
"Hello, Director Gao."
Director Gao Jiali was facing the wall at this time, taking off her cotton jacket and hanging it on the coat hook in front of her. When she heard the sound and turned around, she saw them coming in and immediately smiled: "You are here, come in and sit down."
As she spoke, she walked to the table, picked up the kettle and poured two glasses of water, then personally brought them over and placed them on the tea table in front of the wooden sofa. "I was thinking of going to Huangjia Village with my colleagues today to talk to you, but I didn't expect you guys to come first, which saved me another trip."
As the woman spoke, she waved to the young man, indicating that he could go and do his work first.
When the young man left, he closed the door considerately.
Gao Jiali sat down slowly, and her eyes naturally moved to Zhou Dongmeng: "Who is this..."
Chen Xiang introduced: "This is my lover."
Zhou Dongmeng extended his hand in the air between the two of them and introduced himself: "Hello, Director Gao, I am Zhou Dongmeng, Xiangxiang's lover."
Gao Jiali was in her forties and had a sharp eye. Noticing the young man in front of her had clear and bright eyes and graceful manners, she nodded secretly. Her first impression of him was quite good.
She smiled and said, "Hello, Comrade Zhou, I met your mother yesterday. She is a very sensible mother-in-law."
Chen Xiang spoke first, shyly saying, "My mother-in-law treats me very well."
Zhou Dongmeng beside her heard her say this, a smile appeared on his lips, he raised his eyes and looked at her with telepathic gaze, and they both thought of the morning breakfast.
Zhou's mother was stern and treated him as if he was not her own son.
Chen Xiang's dark eyes narrowed, and she smiled and leaned towards the man's shoulder, her movements natural and intimate.
Seeing this, Gao Jiali also pursed her lips and chuckled: "Currently, the main problem with women's rights, especially young women, is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. First, the older generation is influenced by outdated ideas, and second, husbands as middlemen do not do their job well. I have been in charge of the Women's Federation for more than a year, and I can see very few cases where the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is harmonious."
"So this time I plan to give a big reward to your mother, Xiangxiang's mother-in-law."
Zhou Dongmeng refused without thinking: "Director Gao, there is no need for the award. If my mother knew that she received the award for this, she would feel ashamed."
"Why?"
Gao Jiali was very puzzled.
The man smiled and said, "In my mother's eyes, it is natural for her to love Xiangxiang. It is not worth mentioning."
Zhou Dongmeng paused for a moment and continued, "Director Gao, actually the reason why my husband and I came here today is to talk about my mother-in-law, because my brother-in-law came home last night."
Gao Jiali frowned: "Chen Hao?"
She suddenly realized something and asked, "Do you want to take Dai Jinhua back? Did Chen Hao ask you to do this?"
Zhou Dong shook his head violently: "No."
Then he repeated exactly what was in his mind, such as having certain people appear in the newspapers, having them write censorship reports, fining them, etc., in order to teach them a lesson.
The man spoke tactfully and with solid arguments, and Gao Jiali listened attentively.
She raised her hand and tucked her neat short hair behind her ears, nodded and said, "You said it very well, but I also want to ask your wife if she is willing to do this. After all, with her family around, she will feel more confident, right?"
