The exhibition was a great success. We signed contracts worth ten million, earned foreign exchange, and purchased the equipment we needed.
Lin Chuchu was just one day away from completing her work; the last day was also the most important.
The garment factory produced a total of fifteen cheongsams, along with matching accessories, fans, handkerchiefs, and other items.
The foreign friends who were invited to be models all loved wearing cheongsams.
Although it looked a bit out of place, everyone was incredibly excited.
The person above kept introducing the craftsmanship of the cheongsam and how complicated the production process was, basically exaggerating its value.
Although the minister appeared calm and spoke with composure, he was still filled with worry.
Can something as simple as cutting and sewing, with a few flowers embroidered on it, really be sold for such a high price?
Lin Chuchu, however, was not worried at all, and instead chatted happily with her foreign friends.
These people, knowing that she and Mu Chen were revolutionary partners, occasionally made sarcastic remarks when they spoke to her.
Lin Chuchu would occasionally blush when teased, but she always remained composed.
"...Each of these cheongsams costs 380 yuan. Custom orders are accepted. The cheongsams are exquisitely made and can be given as gifts to lovers, mothers, or even family members of superiors..."
Upon seeing the expressions on the foreign friends' faces after the price was announced, Lin Chuchu knew that things were in the bag.
The minister's anxiety subsided.
During the celebration banquet that evening, a staff member from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said with a smile.
"I think Comrade Lin should stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Haishi. With you here, we'll have a great start this time."
The minister slapped him across the face, saying, "What are you saying?"
He took over the conversation directly, "Comrade Lin, think it over carefully. As long as you agree, I will submit a report to the higher-ups to request the personnel."
Lin Chuchu smiled and said, "Minister, I have no plans to leave for the time being."
After all, the college entrance exam was just around the corner, and she didn't want to travel back and forth. Besides, Mu Chen's home was in Beijing, so it was good that he was close to home.
Moreover, she wanted to visit the highest institution of learning and improve herself there.
The minister immediately fell silent, only repeatedly expressing his regret.
On the train back to the capital, Mu Chen still took meticulous care of her.
Lin Chuchu knew that Mu Chen's workplace was not ordinary, and that it was a waste of her talents to have her as a bodyguard.
"Brother Mu Chen, would you like to go back to your old unit?"
Mu Chen was taken aback, then shook his head with a smile. "I don't want to. During the years when my grandparents were sent to the countryside, my biggest wish was for my family to stay in the capital, do what we wanted to do, and have a like-minded partner."
"Now that I have you and my family is by my side, I am already very content. Moreover, I want to join the public security system. Maybe I will become a police officer."
He hopes to do something practical for the country, anywhere is fine, and he wants to shine wherever he goes.
Back in Beijing, I first reported to my workplace, and then finished the translations that had been piling up recently.
She still had a lot of translation work to finish, so she needed to hurry.
Time flies. The country announced the resumption of the college entrance examination. It is now August. The college entrance examination will be held in October. There are only two months left. When the news came, everyone panicked, especially the educated youth who went to the countryside.
This is their only chance to return to the city.
Suddenly, the landfill became a popular spot, and all the books were sold out, as were the bookstores.
Immediately afterwards, those who had been demoted regained their status.
The once universally despised intellectuals have now become high-ranking officials whom everyone despises.
The resumption of the college entrance examination marked the end of an era and brought a ray of light to a country that had long been shrouded in darkness.
Even those who are young want to work hard for their future.
This batch of college students are the talents most needed by the country. Getting into college means a stable job, and college students are also paid and given subsidies.
A learning trend has recently emerged in the translation department, and you can often see people holding books and reading.
But not everyone can learn it, after all, it's been several years since I put down my books, and it's not easy to pick them up again.
That day, Mu Chen came to pick up Lin Chuchu from get off work. The two of them were no longer staying in the dormitory, but were staying at Mu Chen's house.
Mu Chen's mother is about to retire, so she simply took leave and stays home every day to cook delicious meals for Lin Chuchu and Mu Chen.
After all, studying is mentally taxing.
Lin Chuchu sat in the back seat, looking at everything around her, and was filled with emotion. "I wonder how many people will be separated from their wives and children."
Some of the educated youth sent to the countryside couldn't endure it and got married locally, and even had several children. Others married local wives. What will happen to those who actually get into university?
At this time, very few people get married, and wedding banquets held in the village have no legal binding force.
"Don't worry, the higher-ups have issued a policy that only unmarried people or those who are married and have a marriage certificate can take the college entrance examination."
"Moreover, it was not easy for educated youth to take the college entrance examination. They needed certificates from the village and the brigade, and those with jobs also needed work certificates."
"If someone abandons their wife and children, the entire brigade will be implicated. The lower levels are very strict in their vetting."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuchu's expression lightened somewhat. Although this couldn't completely eliminate the problem, it did eliminate most of it.
The two went to a photo studio and took passport photos, as they needed photos for the college entrance examination.
At this time, everyone was reviewing their studies and hadn't thought of this yet, so there weren't many people in the photo studio.
Soon it was their turn to get in line. They took photos separately, then a group photo, and finally went home satisfied.
Lin Chuchu pulled her aunt aside and spoke in a low voice. Both of them had good personalities and were not the type to cause trouble.
The two were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, while Mu Chen played chess with his grandfather, and his grandmother was sewing a shirt by the light.
