Su Yu quickly waved her hand, "I dare not accept that."
Yan Fang asked enviously, "How did you practice?" She used to think her handwriting was neat, but compared to Su Yu's, she felt embarrassed to put it next to hers.
Su Yu said shyly, "I haven't had the chance to study all these years, but I didn't want to give up learning. Whenever I had a spare moment, I would copy from my textbooks. After writing so much, my handwriting became like this." Of course, this was all nonsense; it was all due to her strict self-discipline in her past life. Even though she later used a computer for everything, as a company boss, she still had to write comments frequently. Su Yu was a strong-willed person and didn't want to be inferior to others, so she insisted on spending half an hour practicing her handwriting every day. This time, she put in a lot of effort to write the letter well.
As for the difference in handwriting compared to the original owner, Su Yu wasn't worried about being exposed. After all, the original owner had been busy with family and work in textiles all these years and had never left any handwriting in front of outsiders. Even when receiving her salary, she only pressed her fingerprint on her name.
Hearing Su Yu's words, everyone looked at her. The older workers in the factory all knew about her family's situation and knew that Su Yu had given up her studies for her family's sake.
He hadn't shown any particular talent over the years, and no one felt it was a pity. Now it seems like it was a complete waste of his potential. With that kind of dedication, he could write such beautiful calligraphy; how could his studies be anything but excellent?
Yan Fang was incredibly impressed. Comrade Su Yu was still a frontline worker, yet she had such beautiful handwriting. She herself sat in an office, and her handwriting was only slightly more delicate.
Committee Member Zhang read Su Yu's thank-you letter again. It was written in a clear and organized manner, and occasionally used current inspirational phrases, which made her feel quite excited.
"Comrade Su Yu, your letter of thanks involves other departments, and I suggest that it be published."
Propaganda Committee Member Hu said.
Su Yu asked shyly, "Is this okay?"
"Of course, we need to let everyone know your feelings," Committee Member Hu said with a smile. Most importantly, the labor union was listed first and given the most space in the thank-you letter. This would help other factory leaders see the role of the labor union.
Su Yu nodded, scratching her head sheepishly, and said, "Okay, I'll follow the union leaders' arrangements. Whatever you do, I'll do."
Yan Fang then noticed that her hair had been cut short. "Why did you cut your hair so short? It's not easy to grow such long hair."
Looking at everyone, Su Yu said, "I was able to get through this thanks to everyone's care and concern. I have nothing to repay you with, so I am determined to learn from Comrade Liu Hulan and dedicate everything to the cause of our country's construction! I want to learn from her spirit of not fearing difficulties and her spirit of wholeheartedly dedicating herself to the people!"
Committee Member Zhang patted her on the shoulder, "Comrade Su Yu, well done!"
After Su Yu left, the other members of the union read Su Yu's thank-you letter again.
Committee Member Zhang said with a smile, "Old Hu, at first glance, this looks a lot like a draft written by someone in your propaganda department."
"Yes, it seems so. They appear to have read quite a few progressive books and newspapers; otherwise, they couldn't write such positive and progressive content." You can tell if someone has substance just by looking at their writing. If they can write such a brilliant thank-you letter, they're sure to excel at other things as well.
Committee Member Hu rummaged for some stationery, intending to rewrite it and put it in the factory newspaper. However, after seeing Su Yu's handwriting, she hesitated. Such beautiful handwriting; perhaps it would be better to just print it directly.
"It's a pity my academic qualifications aren't high enough," Committee Member Hu muttered casually.
Yan Fang, who was standing next to her, was immediately moved.
To work in the union office, one needs at least a vocational school or high school diploma. Comrade Su Yu only has a junior high school education. If Comrade Su Yu had a higher education, and given her good handwriting and ability to write articles, she might have been working at the union long ago and wouldn't have collapsed from exhaustion.
Su Yu had no idea about what was going on with the union.
Although her goal was the labor union, she didn't expect to succeed immediately. Some things can't be rushed. After leaving the labor union, she went directly to the production department to see Director Xu of the workshop.
Workshop Director Xu was a veteran in the factory and had watched Su Yu and her siblings grow up. However, Su Yu used to be quiet and reserved, and she was also very conventional in her work, so they didn't have much contact.
Su Yu didn't care how little contact they had; she only remembered one thing: the original owner and Director Xu had known each other for many years.
So when she saw Director Xu, tears streamed down her face. "Director Xu, I almost died this time. Thank you for taking care of me. Otherwise, I don't know what I would have done... You are my great benefactor. I don't know how to repay you. If you need anything in the future, just ask me, and I will definitely help without hesitation."
Suddenly being elevated to the position of a savior, Director Xu felt a little smug. Looking at Su Yu, he felt a bit more sympathy.
How pitiful! He almost died from exhaustion on the job.
"Director Xu, I feel so guilty. How could I have fainted? This has caused so much work to be missed. I'm all prepared to work even harder. I'm not afraid of working myself to death for the factory. Director, please assign me all the work, the heavy and tiring jobs. I can handle it!"
Exhausted to death? That won't do!
Director Xu quickly waved his hand, "No, no, you've just been discharged from the hospital. Don't push yourself too hard. Go and sort the cotton thread these next few days, lend a hand to others. There are plenty of people in the factory, they won't miss your strength. Once you've recovered, you can better serve the factory."
“How can that be? The factory has been good to me, and I can’t let them down.” Su Yu firmly disagreed.
"Why are you so stubborn? This is a work assignment. Getting better is the most important thing!"
Su Yu wiped away her tears and said emotionally, "Our new China is so good, our new society is so good. Only in our new society would factories take such good care of us workers. Only in the new society could we cultivate such a caring leader as Director Xu. If this were the old society, workers like me would have no way to survive. Once I recover, I will definitely repay our country. I want to be a brick, ready to be moved wherever needed."
Su Zhi was already starving, and upon hearing this, he quickly went to get his own bowl and chopsticks, and a delicious aroma wafted out.
Everyone else in the room swallowed hard.
The eldest sister actually cooked meat porridge!
Su Zhi couldn't help but drool. He quickly ladled out rice. Su Yu hadn't cooked much, and after she ate most of it, there was only half a bowl left. He was just about to finish ladling it out, since his eldest sister wouldn't give any to his older brother and sister-in-law anyway. But then he thought of his younger sister and glanced back at Su Lin, "Fourth brother, get a bowl."
Just as Su Lin was about to lift her foot, she remembered something, glanced at Su Yu who was eating with her head down, and then pouted and said, "I'm not eating, I'd rather starve to death!"
She was determined to buy that dress.
