Ding Dusai corrected her: "Sister Xue, we are not doing business, we can't use the word 'opening'."
Xue Zixiao blinked his big eyes and asked, "Then how should I say it?"
Zhang Shixun interjected, "It should be called 'establishment'."
When he opened his mouth, all the girls looked at him.
"The Women's Federation was proposed by Master Zhang, so we should follow his words." As the big sister, Li Shishi made the final decision.
"Then... when will our Women's Federation be... established?" Xue Zixiao asked.
"Don't worry, let's wait until the draft for comments is returned, and then we can discuss it. Even if it's quick, we should wait until after the Chinese New Year."
"You are looking for me for this matter?" Li Shishi looked around at the women and finally looked at Wang Jingnu.
"yes."
"Okay, I've already answered. Today is New Year's Eve, so everyone should go home and spend the New Year with their families."
The girls all shook their heads, and no one showed any intention of leaving.
"Don't you want to spend New Year's Eve with me instead of spending time with your family?"
The girls looked at each other and nodded together.
Li Shishi felt a little headache.
She is a quiet person at heart and doesn't like socializing and noise.
Sun Sansi asked, "Sister, don't you welcome us?"
Li Shishi explained: "I don't have such an idea. I just think that you have been busy all year long. You have elderly people at home. You should spend New Year's Eve with them. Unlike me, I have no parents since I was a child."
Feng Yinu said, "Sister, we thought of you and felt lonely, so we agreed to come and spend the New Year with you... Please don't refuse. It's already this late, and even if I go home, I'll have already celebrated New Year's Eve."
Sun Sansi said, "Yes! Sister Feng is right. The new year is almost here, so we'll spend it with you today. I hope you and your sisters will have a prosperous and flourishing year in the sixth year of Xuanhe."
Seeing this, Li Shishi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, since the sisters all want to spend the night with me, then let's spend the night together."
The women cheered in unison.
Li Shishi hurriedly ordered the maids to set up a large table in the living room, put the fruits and vegetables that had been prepared long ago on it, and then invited everyone to sit down.
"Sir, come here." Ding Dusai quietly pulled Zhang Shixun's sleeve and led him to the yard.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Shixun asked quietly.
"They came to our house today. Can you guess what their purpose is?"
"Don't you just want to spend the New Year with Master's wife?"
"This is just a cover. They are not that naive."
Zhang Shixun was stunned: "Could it be... they have malicious intentions?"
"No, they...are here for the vice-president of the Women's Federation."
"Huh? Isn't the vice president elected?"
"Nominally, yes, but they can recruit others to vote for them."
Isn't this the same thing as canvassing for votes in later generations? Did they learn it so quickly?
I learned it by myself.
"Sir, don't you see? Among these people, Sun Sansi is the most enthusiastic. She has been dreaming of becoming a vice president. And then there's Feng Yinu, she's also very enthusiastic about the position of vice president."
"My dear, there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the vice president, right? It's not an official position granted by the court. It's just an obligation without any reward."
"Fame, they want that name."
Zhang Shixun muttered, "Don't they know the saying 'people fear fame, just as pigs fear weight'?"
"We all make a living in this industry, so of course the more famous we are, the better."
Yes, the more famous you are, the more people will listen to your songs.
This phenomenon is extremely common in the entertainment industry in later generations. Some people will do anything to become famous, even at the cost of defacing themselves.
"Sir, I also want to be the vice president. Please help me find a way."
"My lady, I can't help you with this." Zhang Shixun shook his head vigorously.
"Sir." Ding Dusai pulled his sleeve and started to lose his temper: "If you don't agree to help me, I will be angry, very, very angry."
"Okay, in order to prevent you from being 'very, very' angry, I'll take the risk. Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Shixun agreed without any position.
"Oh! Sir, you are really... really a good person." Ding Dusai was so happy that he almost jumped up.
"You haven't told me how you want me to help you yet?" Zhang Shixun found it funny. She was too childish.
Ding Dusai hesitated, "I...I haven't thought about it yet."
"ah!"
"I'm sorry, sir. I really haven't thought it through."
"Okay, tell me when you've made up your mind. But I advise you not to even think about it. The head of the Women's Federation is elected by vote. If you want to be elected, you have to be elected."
"Boss? What's that?"
"The head is the person in charge. Specifically, in your Women's Federation, they are the president and vice president."
"Sir, sometimes you say something very strange."
"It's not surprising. I've been overseas for so many years, so of course my speech is different."
"Sir."
"Um!"
"I'm very happy." Ding Dusai looked up at him and said shyly, "Actually, I was just testing you. I don't want to be a leader... a leader."
"Ah! Testing me?"
"Yeah! I just want to know if you really like me."
A woman in love has almost zero IQ.
"Sir, let me tell you one more thing."
"Go ahead and tell me. Don't just tell me one thing, even if you tell me ten things, I'll listen."
"I... I'm only eighteen years old this year." Ding Dusai lowered his head and seemed to become embarrassed.
"At the age of 16, that's good." Zhang Shixun said casually, not quite understanding why she mentioned her age.
"Sir, this age is already past the prime of youth."
"Oh? What age are you now?"
"Golden Years."
"So, what do you want to say when you mention age?"
"Sir, I...I can't get married too early. There are a lot of people in the Lotus Pavilion who depend on me for their livelihood."
Zhang Shixun understood; this was the point she wanted to make.
Zhang Shixun waved his hand and said generously, "No problem, I can wait."
According to later standards, the marriage age for men should not be earlier than 22 years old, and for women should not be earlier than 20 years old. Marriage at the age of 18 for women is considered early marriage.
Besides, Zhang Shixun didn't want to get married at this time.
The Jin soldiers would invade in a year. If I had a child by then, I would have one more burden... no, two.
Ding Dusai didn't want to get married now, which was exactly what he wanted, so he was happy to go along with it.
Ding Dusai covered her face and said shyly, "I didn't say I must marry you."
"That makes me so sad... Is there a well here?"
"well?"
"I want to jump into the well and commit suicide for love!"
