Chapter 103
"Good morning, Comrade Wen."
Zhou Rong greeted Wen Wan with a smile on her face.
"Good morning."
Wen Wan invited her in, and Mu Lanzhi and Mu Qingping next to her also came over when they saw her.
The two of them were even more nervous about the result than they were about themselves, and they kept staring at Zhou Rong.
Zhou Rong was amused by their arrogant and nervous expressions.
"Aunt Mu, Qingping, why are you two so nervous? Look, Comrade Wen isn't as nervous as you."
Mulanzhi smiled embarrassedly.
"Wen Wan is more stable than us, so Xiao Rong, are the results out? How are they?"
"It's out!" Zhou Rong's smile grew even brighter. "Comrade Wen has been accepted by our newspaper!"
"Wow! That's great!"
"I knew it, I knew Wanwan could do it!"
Mu Qingping and Mu Lanzhi couldn't help but stand up and cheer.
Wen Wan sat in the distance without moving, looking extremely calm.
But in fact, her heart was far less calm than she appeared. The reason she didn't move was simply because she felt it was unreal.
She didn't expect that she could actually pass the newspaper's assessment in one go. Would she become a newspaper staff member in the future?
Zhou Rong smiled and looked away from Mulanzhi and the others, then looked at Wen Wan.
"Comrade Wen, you are indeed steady."
Wen Wan came to her senses and hurriedly explained.
"No, I was just surprised."
"There's nothing surprising about that. Your article is well-written. My boss said it was good after reading it. It's obvious that you have extensive writing experience. Have you done work in this area before?" Zhou Rong couldn't help but ask her.
Wen Wan paused for a moment, but finally answered honestly.
"I haven't done any related work. I just wrote some short stories for my son and daughter, and maybe I've always been interested in literature."
Zhou Rong was quite surprised to hear this.
"Which school did you graduate from?"
"Yes...he graduated from the middle school in our town, which is a relatively small town, so you may not know him." Wen Wan felt uneasy after saying this.
She didn't know whether the newspaper would attach great importance to academic qualifications when recruiting staff.
Although the teachers and classmates around her all said that she had good grades and would definitely be able to go to college if given the opportunity.
But the fact is that she never went to college.
She saw so many intellectuals and staff members in the newspaper office yesterday; their academic qualifications must be very good.
"In the middle of the town..."
Sure enough, when Zhou Rong heard Wen Wan say that she was just a high school graduate, her expression became a little entangled and hesitant, as if she had encountered some difficulties.
Wen Wan squeezed her palms, took a deep breath, and asked her, "Comrade Zhou, just tell me what you want to say. I also know that my education level may not be enough to work in a newspaper."
Seeing that she said this, Zhou Rong couldn't hide it anymore and could only tell the truth.
"Our newspaper is a provincial newspaper, and we have branches in some of the counties below it. So if you want to join our provincial newspaper, besides ability, academic qualifications are also very important. After all, there are many capable people. So..."
To be honest, she didn't expect that Wen Wan was just a graduate of a town middle school.
She thought that even if she was not a college student, she was at least a high school student from a famous high school in the province, or someone with relevant work experience.
This is enough to prove that her ability to write such an article was entirely due to her past experience and strength, and was not accidental.
But now she said that she was a high school graduate from a small place whose name they didn't even know, and had never worked in a related job. So the article she wrote yesterday might actually have had a lot to do with luck.
This makes it impossible to determine Wen Wan's level of stability.
Hearing her say this, Wen Wan felt as if she had been doused with a basin of cold water.
The smiles on Mulanzhi and Mu Qingping's faces also disappeared.
Mulanzhi frowned and asked, "Xiaorong, although Wanwan's school may not be that good, didn't you say that what she wrote yesterday was very good? Your leader also said it was good, didn't you? That's enough to prove her ability."
"There aren't many capable people these days, and talents like this are the most valuable!"
Zhou Rong could understand Mulanzhi's feelings, but the newspaper had its own rules for selecting people, so she could only smile awkwardly.
"Aunt Mu, I know what you said is right, but rules are rules after all, and we all have to abide by them."
After she said that, she couldn't help but look at Wen Wan. In fact, she didn't want to miss this good seedling like Wen Wan, so after thinking for a while, she made a decision.
"How about this, Comrade Wen, are you willing to start at the branch office? With your current qualifications, you really can't stay at our provincial newspaper. But starting at the branch office will allow you to gain experience, and you'll be able to work your way up to the provincial newspaper in the future."
"Our provincial newspaper promotes many outstanding employees from the branch offices to the headquarters every year. I believe that if you can maintain your current strength and level, you will be able to be transferred here smoothly within a year!"
After all, Zhou Rong has worked in the provincial newspaper for so many years, and she is considered a person who has a say in matters of great importance.
Apart from the fact that she couldn't openly violate the rules and just leave Wen Wan behind, there was absolutely no problem in letting her go to the branch to train and start from the grassroots level.
This is also in line with policies and regulations.
Can I still go to the branch?
Wen Wan thought she had no chance, but unexpectedly, things took a turn and she still had a chance to work!
Of course she wouldn't refuse, and immediately nodded and said, "Of course I do!"
Mulanzhi and Mu Qingping breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there was still room for maneuver.
And when she heard that they were going to the branch, Mulanzhi simply asked, "Xiaorong, do you have a branch in Anju County?"
"Yes." Zhou Rong nodded in confusion.
"Well, there's no requirement to go to a specific place for this transfer. My eldest son, Wen Wan's husband, is currently working in Anju County. I thought if possible, we could let Wan Wan go there so that we can be reunited."
"Of course, if this is against the rules then you don't have to worry about me. I'm just asking."
After Mulanzhi finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Rong expectantly.
If Wen Wan could really be arranged to go to Anju County, then it would be perfect!
Not only did it solve Wen Wan's job problem, but it also allowed her and Liang Jinheng to stay together. There is no other good thing in the world.
Fortunately, this is not a difficult task.
Zhou Rong laughed after hearing this.
"That's no problem. Anju County just transferred someone to the provincial newspaper at the end of last year, so they should be short of staff there, so it's a perfect fit to assign Comrade Wen there," Zhou Rong said, then turned to Wen Wan and asked for her opinion. "Comrade Wen, what do you think? Or do you have any other places you'd like to go? Do you have any requests?"
Wen Wan didn't have any other requests. She was already quite satisfied to have gotten a chance.
So I waved my hand quickly.
"No, everything will be arranged by Comrade Zhou."
"Alright, then it's settled. I'll go back and tell my boss to assign you to work at the branch office for a while. If you can quickly achieve outstanding results there, it will prove that your abilities are indeed enough to cover up your educational disadvantages. I'll be looking forward to seeing you at the provincial newspaper then!"
Wen Wan was inspired with unprecedented confidence by Zhou Rong's words.
She looked at Zhou Rong, nodded vigorously, and said while suppressing her excitement.
"Okay, I will definitely work hard and strive to be transferred to the provincial newspaper as soon as possible!"
"Okay, I'll be leaving first. I'll probably bring you some information tonight, and then you can report to the branch office in Anju County."
After saying that, Zhou Rong got up and left.
When she left, Mu Qingping could no longer hold back and patted his chest exaggeratedly.
"Phew, that was a close call. I was so scared just now that I thought it was all over."
Mulanzhi gave her an unpleasant look.
"Wanwan's strength is here, how could she fail? That's nonsense!"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense." Mu Qingping smiled and slapped her mouth.
Mulanzhi gave her a reproachful look, then announced, "Wanwan has a job at a newspaper. This is great news, and we should celebrate today!"
"Auntie, that's not necessary..." Wen Wan wanted to stop her, but Mulanzhi had already made up her mind.
"It's okay. We have nothing to do at home anyway, so cooking something won't be tiring. Let's go to the market to buy some vegetables together later!"
There is a special vegetable market in the provincial capital, which sells a wide variety of goods, making life very convenient.
Seeing that she couldn't stop them, Wen Wan had no choice but to follow them.
That night, after the whole family came back, everyone naturally had a good meal.
After the meal, Zhou Rong gave Wen Wan Dai's employment information and certificates. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after reading them.
Only when you actually get the item, you can feel completely at ease.
The certificate states that Wen Wan will start work next month at the latest.
However, Wen Wan decided to wait until Liang Jinheng came over this time and then go back with him to complete the job application process.
In this way, she waited day and night, and finally the day came when Liang Jinheng had a holiday.
After receiving the employment certificate that day, Wen Wan took her two children back to Liang Jinheng's comrade, fearing that she would not be able to find them if Liang Jinheng came one day.
Mulanzhi still said that she was worried about her, so she came along.
Mu Qingping didn't come because Doudou had a cold these two days. She was afraid of infecting Da Wa and Er Niu, so she took Doudou to live at home.
During the day, Wen Wan and Mulanzhi would either chat in the yard, watching the two children, Da Wa and Er Niu, play, or Mulanzhi would play with the two children.
The two children also changed their name from Grandma Mu to Grandma, which made Mulanzhi love the two little ones even more.
She owed Liang Jinheng too much, but now he no longer needed her help. She could only devote as much love and care as possible to Da Wa and Er Niu.
Everyone in the Mu family could see it, even Mu Qingping wouldn't be angry.
Because she also felt that her eldest brother had lived a miserable life in the past, and Doudou had been loved by her grandmother for many years, so it was time for her cousins to be loved as well.
That’s right. Later, when Mu Qingping and Wen Wan were chatting, they found out that Doudou was born a few months earlier than Da Wa and Er Niu.
But Doudou is still used to calling Da Wa brother and Er Niu sister, saying that these are his brother and sister and he should call them that.
Mu Qingping corrected him several times but he still didn't change, which made her so angry that she had no idea what to do.
Don't think she doesn't know that this little fat boy just envies others for having brothers and sisters, but he doesn't have them, so he wants a brother and sister.
Now that he has Da Wa and Er Niu, of course he has to insist on calling Da Wa brother, so that he feels like he has a brother.
When Mulanzhi was here, she would occasionally go for a walk around the neighborhood and became familiar with several of the neighbors.
Wen Wan rarely went out to chat with her. When she had nothing to do, she would read newspapers and magazines at home, hoping to learn more.
When Liang Jinheng came, Mulanzhi was about to go outside to chat with the aunt next door.
After inquiring for a few days, Mulanzhi finally figured out the house prices in the vicinity and the general information about the family where Wen Wan and her family were currently living.
She also told the aunt without hesitation that she asked these questions not for any other reason but because she wanted to buy this house, or buy a similar house nearby.
The aunt had seen Mulanzhi coming here in a car, so of course she would not doubt that she could not afford it.
However, the owner of the house where Wen Wan and her family live now is just as Liang Jinheng said, not at home all year round, so they don’t know the specific situation.
I have no idea whether it will sell anything or not.
But apart from this house, there are quite a few similar houses in the surrounding alleys.
When the aunt saw her coming, she quickly called Mulanzhi to her side.
"Sister Mu, I asked for you and found a house with the same layout as the one your wife lives in now that's ready for sale!"
When Mulanzhi heard this, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
"Really? Which one?"
She quickly asked the aunt.
The aunt pointed to her and said, "Look, that's the house. The yard is about the same size as the one your wife lives in now, and the location is even better, closer to the street corner. Isn't that more convenient?"
Mulanzhi looked in the direction of her finger and saw the house first. Just when she was about to take a closer look, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.
