After the meeting, President Ding went to a state-owned restaurant and booked a table to reward Zheng Wangshu.
"President Ding, that's not necessary. This is all part of my job. You're being too polite."
Zheng Wangshu spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly. In fact, he didn't really think he was that capable. Since he worked here and got paid, he should consider the newspaper appropriately.
It is also a good thing for her to have this opportunity today.
"President Ding, to be frank, I'm just a part-time worker. If they knew you took me to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, some people might try to make things difficult for me."
Zheng Wangshu’s goal was very clear, he wanted to use his leader to deal with Zhao Gang.
"Who dares! Xiao Zheng, you are so capable, who would be so blind as to make things difficult for you?"
President Ding frowned and said.
Seeing that President Ding started to make a fuss, Zheng Wangshu couldn't continue to play Tai Chi and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Minister Zhao has always had issues with my part-time job. I took a few days off recently because of family matters. Minister Zhao thinks I'm insubordinate and wants to fire me. Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this, but I really can't stand this injustice. You said you had a family emergency, and you can't leave it unaddressed. It's also human nature. Besides, I've never taken leave before."
Since Zhao Gang was trying to make things difficult for her, she would also try to make things difficult for him. It just so happened that there was an opportunity now, and President Ding still appreciated her. This was a golden opportunity.
"He dares!"
President Ding grew angrier as he listened, slamming the table. "Don't worry, Xiao Zheng. I will handle this matter seriously. I will never let a good employee like you who cares about the newspaper suffer any injustice."
President Ding still values talents. In his opinion, Zheng Wangshu is a rare talent. He not only wants to keep such a person but also fire him. What is Zhao Gang thinking?
President Ding is also a decisive person. As soon as he returned to the newspaper office, he went to find Zhao Gang.
At this time, Zhao Gang was scolding his subordinates in the office. Naturally, he wanted to vent his anger at Zheng Wangshu, and he caught a poor little guy.
With a "bang", President Ding walked in from outside without even knocking on the door.
Zhao was about to get angry, but when he saw it was President Ding, his expression instantly turned flattering.
"President, you finished the meeting so quickly? Did Xiao Zheng not embarrass you?"
Zhao Gang's expression, as if he was hoping Zheng Wangshu would fail, made President Ding even more dissatisfied.
"Minister Zhao, who gave you the right to fire people at will?"
President Ding asked in a cold voice.
Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment, "President Ding, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Don't understand? Aren't you going to fire Xiao Zheng? I'm telling you, you don't own the newspaper, so you can't fire anyone you want. A talent like Xiao Zheng would be a hot commodity no matter where she goes. Not only do you not train her well, but you're also going to fire her just because she asked for leave. What kind of logic is that?"
President Ding was really angry. He had heard that Zhao Gang had a bad reputation and that it was just because of his family connections. Now he saw that it was true.
Originally, Zhao Gang didn't understand what President Ding meant. When he heard what he said, his face completely darkened.
This Zheng Wangshu was actually reporting him behind his back!
"President Ding, please listen to my explanation. This is not the case."
Zhao was about to explain when he was interrupted by President Ding.
"What do you want to explain? What happened in the office today? Wasn't I there? Can you guarantee that you didn't do this?"
After hearing all this, Zhao Gang really didn't know what to say.
He was full of anger, but he couldn't talk back to President Ding.
"Alright, let's forget about this matter. I'm just giving you a warning. As leaders, we can't help but cherish talent. I know you're new here and want to achieve some results, but you have to be reasonable. Minister Zhao, do you understand what I mean?"
President Ding softened his attitude, giving him a way out.
What could Zhao Gang do? He nodded repeatedly. At the same time, he also felt a deep resentment towards Zhou Jiangmei. If it weren't for Zhou Jiangmei's introduction, Zheng Wangshu would not have had the opportunity to perform in front of President Ding.
Zhao Gang gritted his teeth and swallowed all his anger.
"I understand, President. I was inconsiderate about this matter. I won't do this again in the future."
Zhao Gang apologized carefully and said a lot of nice things to calm President Ding down.
On the other side, Zheng Wangshu just returned to the office and heard Jiang Rongrong talking about him behind his back.
"If you ask me, what real abilities does Zheng Wangshu have? Isn't she just relying on that sly face of hers? We've been here for so long, isn't our work ability any better than hers?"
"Why, does my face offend you?"
Zheng Wangshu suddenly spoke, startling Jiang Rongrong.
Jiang Rongrong was only embarrassed for a moment, and then her expression returned to normal.
"Am I wrong? Don't you rely on this face? Do you really take yourself seriously?"
Jiang Rongrong snorted and continued to be stubborn.
Zheng Wangshu threw the manuscript in front of Jiang Rongrong with a "pop". "Since you said I rely on my looks, then you must be very capable. This manuscript is the one from the meeting. How about you read it?"
Although Jiang Rongrong has been working as a translator for quite some time, her spoken English is not very fluent. At that time, the Internet was not well developed, and it was difficult to learn a foreign language. Many people had incorrect grammar.
But she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Zheng Wangshu, so she had to bite the bullet and take the manuscript. She was stunned after just a few glances at it.
There are some words she doesn't even recognize, so how can she read them? She can't look them up in a dictionary.
"What? You don't know how?"
