Chapter 94: Insult
The two people outside closed the door.
Lu Miao didn't care and subconsciously glanced around the room at the first moment.
The room is not big, and the furnishings are simple and rustic, with a long table and several bookcases, making it look a bit like an office.
At the long table by the window sat a young man in a Zhongshan suit, accompanied by an old man about fifty years old.
One of them was sitting and the other was standing. It was obvious that the latter was responsible for helping.
Lu Miao looked at the other person, and the other person also looked at her carefully. Hu Zhiyuan stood up first and introduced himself:
"Hello, comrade. I'm Hu Zhiyuan from the county. You can call me Hu Zhiyuan or Comrade Hu. What's your name, please?"
"My name is Lu Miao."
Lu Miao was unfamiliar with giving his name.
Lu Miao knew that Hu Zhiyuan was looking at her, and that was why she was so distant.
Although this man named Hu Zhiyuan was dressed quite decently and didn't look ugly with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, for some reason, the way he looked at people always made Lu Miao feel inexplicably disgusted.
As if sensing Lu Miao's resistance, Hu Zhiyuan restrained himself.
Laughing and pouring water to ease the atmosphere, Hu Zhiyuan asked Lao Zhou beside him to move a chair and invited Lu Miao to sit across the table. He pushed the water to Lu Miao and slowly got to the point:
"Our job is quite special and requires a woman of outstanding character. I'm going to ask a few questions. Comrade Lu, please answer according to your own situation. If you are okay with that, we'll get started."
Lu Miao nodded.
There are men in the art troupe, but there is nothing wrong with recruiting female comrades with good character.
"Comrade Lu, may I ask what your specialty is? Something you're good at."
Lu Miao thought for a while. Since she was applying for a cultural troupe, her answer was more inclined towards this aspect:
"I can sing a few songs and dance, and I can do some folk ballets similar to those shown in theaters."
"Oh, that's great!"
Hu Zhiyuan's eyes were full of passion, and he continued to ask excitedly:
"How old are you? How many people are in your family? Are you married? If you are selected, can you work in the county and be available for deployment at any time?"
Lu Miao patiently answered Hu Zhiyuan's questions one by one, until she was asked if she could speak foreign languages. She answered for a while, but then she felt something was wrong.
It's the 1970s now, not the 1950s when we were still friendly with the Soviet Union next door. I'm just joining the art troupe, why am I being asked if I can speak foreign languages?
Lu Miao was confused and asked the question.
Hu Zhiyuan explained with a smile:
"Comrade Lu, you don't know this. We sometimes receive friends from abroad, and knowing foreign languages would be an advantage! If you do well in the future, you might even be able to travel abroad with the leaders."
Lu Miao's eyebrows furrowed as he caught a few key words. "Receiving foreign friends? Going abroad with the leader?"
It's not that Lu Miao is sensitive. Although this time is not the most severe time of the crackdown, the control is still strict everywhere. Who dares to mention these things blatantly?
"I'm sorry, Comrade Hu, this job doesn't seem to meet my expectations. There are many comrades waiting in line behind you. Please wait and see."
Lu Miao vaguely realized that this "job" might not be as simple as they thought.
She slowly stood up, intending to resign, but the moment she stood up, Hu Zhiyuan opposite her also stood up.
The old man named Lao Zhou was even more agile and blocked the door in an instant. Lu Miao's face turned cold and he turned around and said:
"What do you mean?!"
Hu Zhi smiled in a self-proclaimed, suave way, "Comrade Lu, don't be in such a hurry to leave. It's not too late to listen to what I have to say."
Hu Zhiyuan was confident and continued, "Our work is easy, and we really need more help right now. The salary is even better than many people with stable jobs out there. In short, I sincerely hope you can seriously consider it."
Lu Miao listened to his exaggerated words and couldn't help but sneer and asked:
"You keep emphasizing that work is easy. How do you mean it's easy?"
Hu Zhiyuan glanced at Lu Miao from head to toe, staring at his face with envy, and said:
"You're beautiful, and beauty is your best asset. As for your job... you don't really need to do anything else. You'll just need to serve tea, pour water, and occasionally relieve some boredom."
Lu Miao tried hard to control his emotions and asked, "So you're not from the art troupe at all. You're recruiting "secretaries" under the guise of the art troupe, right?"
"Yes, yes, that's the word! Haha, to be honest, I hadn't thought of it before, so I asked them to mention the art troupe when they released the news."
Hu Zhiyuan laughed loudly, and at this moment he did not forget to take advantage of the situation to criticize him:
"So you're thinking of applying for the art troupe, right? To be honest, Comrade Lu, the treatment we offer here can't compare to theirs. So, you'd better think about it carefully. Such a good opportunity doesn't come around all the time."
Listen to this arrogant tone, look at this contemptuous attitude...
Lu Miao's chest was boiling with anger. She was not only angry at being teased, but also ashamed and angry at being looked down upon and disrespected. She could no longer control her emotions and suddenly stood up and said:
"If you can't do it, find someone else!"
The old man surnamed Zhou was still standing in front of the door, and she ran into him before she took a few steps out.
Old Zhou called out "Comrade" in a hoarse voice and wanted to say something to keep him, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Lu Miao suddenly turn around and walk towards Hu Zhiyuan.
Lao Zhou withdrew his hand.
On the other side, Hu Zhiyuan watched Lu Miao gradually approaching him. A hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, and his thoughts became dark.
I told you, he looks like a tough guy, but in fact, he still can't resist the temptation of the treatment, right?
That's how it is with women.
Hu Zhiyuan raised the corner of his lips, staring at Lu Miao up and down, even thinking maliciously:
If the other party is Lu Miao, when the boss gets tired of playing with him in the future, he can still consider taking him over and playing with him for a while...
Hu Zhiyuan was imagining something shamelessly and lewdly, when suddenly there was a "pop" sound and his face tilted to one side.
"You, you!" Hu Zhiyuan was stunned. He covered his face and turned around in disbelief, "You hit..."
Lu Miao's pretty face was cold, and before he could finish his words, she slapped him again.
Hu Zhiyuan was in a daze and was completely unprepared. Lu Miao's slap knocked him to the ground. Not only did he see stars, but his mouth and nose were also bleeding.
"I'm going to hit you!"
Lu Miao was born into a wealthy family and was spoiled since childhood. In addition to her spoiled personality, she also has the "bad habits" she developed when she was always sought after by others.
Normally, she wouldn't notice anything when she was with kind people, but now, facing Hu Zhiyuan and the others, her inherent brutality was completely aroused, and her dark side was exposed without any concealment. Nothing could scare her.
If Hu Zhiyuan wants to commit violence from a high position, don't blame her for fighting violence with violence!
