The deputy mayor's wife was speechless after he specially set up a position for her daughter. She smiled and said, "Su, you did a good job. I will definitely remember your kindness. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me."
"That's unnecessary." Su Yu waved her hand with a smile. "But Auntie, you have a lot of influence. Find some time to talk to the teachers in our student council and ask them to acknowledge the legitimacy of this position. It would be best if it were a formal position within the school, which would be good for Lili."
Vice Mayor Xu's wife nodded with a smile. "Okay, I'll go find your teacher later." For her daughter's sake, it was her duty to do so.
Even after getting into the car, Su Yu waved goodbye to the mother and daughter.
Once they were out of sight, Su Yu's smile widened immediately. "Comrade Dongzheng, why do you have to suffer instead of enjoying a good life?"
Secretary Song said, "What did you just promise her? You and I must not suffer any injustice. Our Song family doesn't cause trouble, but that doesn't mean we're afraid of trouble. If anyone wants to mess with us, they'd better think twice about their own strength."
Their family has quite a few connections. Back in the revolutionary base areas, they've seen all sorts of cadres; a provincial-level official is nothing special.
Su Yu swung her legs and said with a smile, "I've never met anyone who could make me feel wronged." Back then, even when her own father made her feel wronged, she always managed to outmaneuver him.
"I'm overjoyed that they're sending me a free laborer. I've been working hard lately. Now I finally have someone to do my work. The most basic professional skill of a secretary is serving tea and water."
"That girl doesn't seem like a competent person."
"That's perfect, perfect. I can kick her out and find someone more competent. They even helped me get a permanent position."
Secretary Song laughed out loud upon hearing this. He knew his girlfriend was someone he didn't need to worry about at all.
At the school, just as Su Yu had done, Vice Mayor Xu's wife went to greet Teacher Jin.
When Teacher Jin saw the two of them, she was in a bad mood, and when she heard their request, she found it funny.
This leader doesn't even consider the situation. She's just a student council teacher; what right does she have to decide everything? Even though Su Yu's student council has a large structure, very few members are actually recognized by the school leadership.
"That's not easy for me to handle. The student council is currently managed by Comrade Su Yu."
“I’ve already spoken to her, and she agreed,” said Vice Mayor Xu’s wife.
Teacher Jin: "..." How could a student dare to disagree?
She said with difficulty, "This matter requires the approval of the school leaders. Every time the school adds a position, it needs to be carefully considered."
"I understand. Then I'll go talk to your leader myself." Vice Mayor Xu's wife's face immediately fell.
...
At the entrance of the military compound, Li Ping got out of the car, clutching a newspaper.
Just as she was about to go in, she remembered what Su Yu had taught her before, so she turned around and headed towards the military region.
The soldiers on guard at the military district gate recognized her, but as usual, they called the commander's office and only allowed her to leave after receiving confirmation.
At that moment, Li Guoliang was busy with the recruitment of new soldiers for the provincial military region, still engrossed in reading documents in his office. He only looked up when he heard his bodyguard's daughter arrive at the door.
I was quite surprised to see my eldest daughter come in.
You know, his daughter rarely comes to see him. The last time she did was to buy a dictionary.
"It's Pingping! What brings you here today? Is there anything you need?"
Li Ping held the newspaper and looked at him, forcing a smile, "No, Dad, I came to see you. I didn't know if you would come home today, so I came to find you. I wanted to show you something."
"What are you looking at?" Li Guoliang asked curiously.
Li Ping handed over the newspaper, saying, "Dad, my article was published in the newspaper."
The newspaper articles were praising soldiers, listing numerous battles and depicting the bravery and fearlessness of the People's Liberation Army soldiers.
This article earned her two yuan in royalties.
Li Guoliang was surprised that his daughter had this talent. Curious, he stood up, took the article, and read it. He then noticed his daughter's writing in a not-so-obvious spot in the lower right corner. Her pen name was Mu Zi Li.
Of course, regardless of how conspicuous it is, being in the newspaper is definitely a big deal. For someone like Li Guoliang, who never went to university and can't write, getting his article published in the newspaper is something only a great talent could achieve.
A rare smile appeared on his usually serious face. "Not bad, not bad at all. Pingping, you didn't waste your time at university."
Hearing the praise, Li Ping suddenly felt more confident. Sister Su Yu was right; she really wasn't bad.
She pulled a bottle of ink from her pocket. "Dad, I bought this ink for you with my royalties. I wanted to buy a fountain pen, but I didn't have enough money. So I bought you a bottle of good ink for your office work."
No matter how many nice words you say, it's better to buy something tangible that people can actually use. When they need it, they'll remember how good she is.
Upon seeing what his daughter had bought, Li Guoliang was taken aback, then reached out and took it. The ink bottle had words written on it in fountain pen: 'To my great father, daughter Li Ping.'
This was the first gift he had received from his children in all these years.
And it's so meaningful—the money he earned from writing articles by his own daughter.
Looking at my daughter again, I suddenly felt a sense of relief. The Li family has produced a talented person. I'm so glad I supported her going to university.
"Okay, I'll leave it here. I can use it for work later."
Li Ping smiled and nodded. "Then Dad, I'm going back."
Li Guoliang said, "Let's go back together, let's celebrate at home today."
Then he walked outside.
The guard was waiting at the door. Li Guoliang gave him two yuan and told him to go to the logistics department to buy some meat and take it home.
The guard, a simple-minded young soldier, smiled and said, "Sir, why are you going back so early today?"
“My daughter’s article was published in the newspaper,” Li Guoliang said with a slight smile.
"Wow, that's amazing!" the guard exclaimed dramatically.
Li Ping stood shyly to the side, but secretly she was overjoyed. It turned out Su Yu's words were true; to gain the favor of everyone in the family, one had to win the favor of the most powerful person in the family. Her father praised her, so the guard praised her too.
