This reply letter from the city newspaper was a reply to her submission a few months ago. She had thought it was doomed after not hearing any reply for such a long time, but she didn't expect it to come so timely, it was like a timely relief.
"Comrade Yan Bai has submitted articles to the city newspaper? He is truly a promising young man!" Director Zhong came to his senses and congratulated him.
Lin Yanbai lowered her head shyly: "Director Zhong, please don't say that. I was just writing it down randomly and didn't expect it to actually work!"
Director Zhong didn't think so. Being accepted into the city newspaper meant he was quite capable. Thinking of the problem that had just troubled him, his eyes lit up: "Comrade Yan Bai has such great literary talent. It's really a waste of his talent to be in the Propaganda Department. How about this? I'll approve a note for you, and you can report to the secretary's office tomorrow!"
This was truly a pleasant surprise. Although the secretarial office did not have many people and was not as well-known as the Propaganda Department or the Trade Union, it was a department that could directly contact the leaders. Anyone who came out of the secretarial office would at least be a director-level figure, which could be said to be a close confidant of the factory director.
Looking at Gu Xingfan's expression, one could tell that he should be quite satisfied with this. Seeing Gu Xingfan's expression visibly relieved, Director Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. He was really a little afraid that this brat would do something bad.
After coming out of the factory director's office, Lin Yanbai dragged Gu Xingfan straight to the security room. Seeing her, the security guard burst into unprecedented enthusiasm. After all, this girl had been reported!
The envelope felt very thin, so she tore it open carefully. There was only a reply letter and a 10-yuan note inside. The reply letter was from the city newspaper editor, who said that he was very grateful for her submission. Her manuscript had been requisitioned and would be published on the 1st of next month. She paid an additional 10-yuan fee and hoped to receive her manuscript again.
After reading the letter, Lin Yanbai carefully folded the letter paper and stuffed it into the envelope. This was her first submission, so she had to keep it well.
Gu Xingfan next to her seemed even more excited than her. He looked at her with sparkling eyes, the light in his eyes almost flashing at her, as if he was expecting something.
Uh…it looks like he's been accepted, Lin Yan thought like a straight woman. Shaking her head, she walked towards the Propaganda Department. She still had to pack her things!
Gu Xingfan, who didn’t wait for a warm hug: Uh…
He touched the tip of his nose as if nothing had happened and followed closely.
Back at the Propaganda Department, as expected, Lin Yanbai received warm congratulations from everyone. After all, everyone should have known about the broadcast just now! This person could be in the newspapers, and his colleagues were like looking at a giant panda. However, due to the giant panda's guardian angel, everyone was still restrained.
Looking at Lin Yanbai, who was surrounded by stars, Zeng Yue couldn't help but hum softly. She thought no one could hear it, but when she turned her head, she saw the handsome young man standing behind Lin Yanbai glanced at her casually. The coldness in his eyes almost solidified, making her feel cold all over.
She lowered her head in panic, pretending to organize the documents on the table, trying to avoid the cold gaze.
The lively atmosphere outside was like a small hook, which made Director Zhang in the inner office feel itchy. He finally couldn't sit still anymore. He slowly and methodically straightened his collar and walked out.
"Yan Bai, you're really great. You're worthy of being a good comrade from our Propaganda Department!" he affirmed.
However, Director Zhang started to make a small calculation in his mind. It seemed that Lin Yanbai's strength should not be underestimated. No, such a good comrade must stay in their Propaganda Department. As for Deputy Director Jia, it is not impossible to refuse!
That’s right, Director Zhang has the final say in the Propaganda Department after all. In addition, the two clear quotas were decided by the factory director himself. It turned out that it was only Deputy Director Jia who spoke up, and he was unwilling to offend the deputy director for Lin Yanbai.
But now it's different. Just imagine if the city newspaper was signed by Lin Yanbai, a member of the Propaganda Department of Hengxing Textile Factory, how impressive their Propaganda Department would be! Director Zhang was calculating.
Seeing that Lin Yanbai had already started to pack up, Director Zhang cleared his throat and said, "Yanbai, don't rush to pack up. There is still hope!"
Hearing this, Lin Yanbai stopped what she was doing. A turning point? She looked up at the director, only to see Director Zhang nod as if everything was self-explanatory.
Lin Yanbai: ...Although I understand, I don’t want to understand.
She blinked and began to pack her things hurriedly again.
"Hey—Yan Bai, I mean, originally the matter was a foregone conclusion, but now it's different. Now you're going to be in the newspaper. In this way, I can write a report on your behalf and let you stay in the Propaganda Department!"
Hearing this, before Lin Yanbai could express her opinion, Gu Xingfan beside her spoke lazily: "Oh, that's really unfortunate. Yanbai has been specially approved to go to the secretary's office. The factory director said that Yanbai is a talented person, and he is worried that she will be wasted in other departments. I'm so sorry, Director Zhang!"
He announced the news in a voice that could be heard throughout the office, looking like he was asking for a beating. Seeing the shocked looks on everyone's faces, one had to admit, it felt really good to get slapped in the face! Lin Yanbai couldn't help but give him a thumbs-up in her heart.
After packing up her things, Lin Yanbai thanked everyone for their care over the past few days, especially Zeng Yue. She told Zeng Yue that if it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been able to get to the secretary's office, and she really had to thank her, which made Zeng Yue so angry that her face turned red.
Lin Yanbai walked towards the dormitory in a good mood, followed by her boyfriend Gu Xingfan, who was working hard to carry a bunch of Lin Yanbai's things. Looking at Lin Yanbai in front of her, even her back revealed the message that she was very happy, and she couldn't help laughing.
It can be seen that the broadcast at noon was really explosive. Didn’t it reveal Lin Qingfeng who had not been seen for many days?
When Lin Yanbai walked downstairs to the dormitory building, she met Lin Qingfeng who had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Lin Yanbai, he excitedly took two steps forward. The next second, he saw Gu Xingfan behind her and paused slightly.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Lin Qingfeng glanced at Gu Xingfan and said, "I heard the broadcast at noon. Is it true, Yan Bai? Dad is so happy. My colleagues know about it and they all envy me for having such a good daughter like you... Well, when are you free, come home for dinner! Your mother and the others miss you!"
Seeing Lin Qingfeng's somewhat uneasy look, Lin Yanbai sighed helplessly: "I know, I will!"
This is the way the world is. If parents are unkind, no one will say anything, at most they will gossip. But if children are unfilial, they will be drowned in saliva.
Although Lin Yanbai moved out of the Lin family, her household registration was still in the Lin family. She had to find a time to move her household registration out. Before that, it was better to maintain superficial harmony.
