As soon as Su Yu returned to her office, Secretary Song entered with a serious expression. In front of everyone, she said, "Secretary Su, there are some tasks the team needs your review. Could you please come over?"
"Okay, I'll be right there." Su Yu left the house looking nervous.
Finding a window at the end of the corridor, Secretary Song, holding a notebook in one hand, asked while looking down, "I just saw that Director Zhou called you into his office for a talk, and it lasted quite a while. Did anything go wrong?"
"Director Zhou is a good leader. What could possibly happen to me? Such an impartial leader would appreciate a selfless and outspoken comrade like me the most."
"..." Secretary Song raised an eyebrow as he looked at her.
“Mine is true. I just criticized him to protect the women in his family. Luckily, our leader is not one to hold grudges.”
Even if she offended Director Zhou, she could still win over the old lady and Teacher Li. She wasn't worried.
For a man troubled by his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, his mother and wife will never hold a low place in his heart.
Secretary Song said, "You really have a lot of guts."
"I haven't done anything wrong," Su Yu said nonchalantly. "What wrong have I done? I'm just selling a house."
"..." Secretary Song couldn't help but suppress her laughter.
And no one dared to say a bad word about her. If things really escalated, it would just be a matter of selling a house. She handled this matter flawlessly.
This woman... he really worried for nothing.
After they finished speaking, they parted ways with serious expressions and returned to their respective offices.
Secretary Shi stood at the door and looked at Secretary Song, saying, "Secretary Song, isn't it inappropriate for you to have too much contact with female colleagues at work?"
"Both of you are unmarried, so it's inappropriate for you to even talk about work?" Secretary Song raised an eyebrow. "You also often talk with your sister-in-law, which makes it even more inappropriate."
"..."
Secretary Shi's face darkened. "Don't be blind!"
Secretary Song chuckled, "What did I say, Lao Shi? You're just overthinking it. What I mean is, don't chat with relatives secretly all the time. It's not good if people see it. You need to keep your personal and professional life separate. Even if you're going to groom your sister-in-law to take over your job, you should be careful. Besides, she's a college graduate with excellent writing skills. Mayor Chen often praises her. I think it's quite possible for her to rise through the ranks on her own merits."
Secretary Shi sneered angrily: "...You're only good with your mouth."
Secretary Song shook her finger. "No, I'm also a good writer. After all, I write all of Mayor Qiu's speeches myself. It's not easy for anyone to replace me."
Secretary Shi was furious, but she had to maintain a calm and composed demeanor. She couldn't show her anger or emotions. As a secretary, she couldn't let others know her feelings.
He walked past Secretary Song without saying a word.
As soon as Secretary Shi left, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked out with a serious expression. As he reached the door, he said to Secretary Song, "Did you just have a fight with Secretary Shi?"
"No," Secretary Song said with a smile. "Secretary Yan, is there any news from the province regarding the staff housing plan?"
Secretary Yan is Secretary Hao's chief secretary, so she has more opportunities to come into contact with higher-ups.
"What's the rush? The houses aren't being built for us; they're for the workers first." Secretary Yan finished speaking with a serious expression and left the office.
Hearing Secretary Yan's words, Secretary Song understood what was going on; it seemed the provincial leaders also agreed. The good news should be finalized soon.
With this achievement, Comrade Su will find this accomplishment very useful when he works in a government agency in the future.
...
In the afternoon, Su Yu gave Li Mei's daughter a few basic math problems to take home and do. She also shared her thoughts with Li Mei.
“Now that I’m involved in my boss’s family conflict, I don’t dare to go there so often anymore, or people will gossip. I’ll try to tutor your child at your house whenever I have the chance, but most of the time, I’ll try to give her practice problems in the office. It’s mainly because she’s self-disciplined.”
Li Mei felt somewhat embarrassed about Su Yu's situation. If it weren't for tutoring her daughter, Su Yu wouldn't have gotten involved in Director Zhou's family affairs, nor would she have sold the house.
"Fine, whatever you say."
Su Yu then added meaningfully, "From now on, Teacher Li will have more free time. If you have any questions, you can ask Teacher Li for help."
Li Mei looked a little embarrassed, but still nodded, "You're right."
On the other side, Chu Hong watched the two whispering and looking so affectionate, and slightly curled her lips. What's the use of being on good terms? They can't help each other at all.
After get off work in the afternoon, Su Yu packed her things and hurried out. She had barely reached the door when she saw Old Mrs. Zhou and Director Zhou's wife waiting for her. Director Zhou wasn't there, presumably to avoid any appearance of impropriety.
Seeing Su Yu come out, Grandma Zhou quickly pulled her along, "Su, can we go look at houses now?"
“Sure, I’ve already asked my brother and the others to clean the house. Let’s go over and take a look.”
The old lady smiled and said, "Alright, alright, let's go quickly."
Su Yu smiled and said to Director Zhou's wife next to her, "Why don't we walk there? It's quite close, only two stops away. We can familiarize ourselves with the route."
Grandma Zhou was even happier to hear that it was so close. Although she wanted to move out, she wasn't happy if it was too far away.
On the way, Su Yu introduced the interpersonal relationships in the courtyard to Old Lady Zhou and Director Zhou's wife.
“They’re all old neighbors, so they’re very easy to get along with. And we’ve managed to get by all these years thanks to everyone’s help. Once Grandma passes away, if she needs any help, everyone will definitely be willing to lend a hand. By the way, many of the elderly people in the compound also came from their hometowns. They usually stay at home taking care of the children when they have nothing to do, so Grandma can keep them company when she has time.”
