Chapter 148
On her first day at the headquarters, she had to leave a good impression on her colleagues, so she had to be diligent!
So on this day, although Wen Wan had not yet recognized her colleagues around her, she was very efficient when doing her work.
We worked hard all day until noon and only had time to rest during lunch.
Then Zhou Rong took Wen Wan to meet some colleagues and invited her to have dinner together.
Wen Wan naturally would not refuse.
There are many state-owned restaurants in the provincial capital, and Zhou Rong and her friends are in a busy area, so Zhou Rong quickly took Wen Wan to the nearest state-owned restaurant and ordered some dishes.
Wen Wan offered to treat her to a meal as a thank you for Zhou Rong's help before, but Zhou Rong firmly refused.
"We're superiors and subordinates now. What will happen if others find out you're treating me to a meal? I know you want to thank me, but we can go back to the compound to eat on weekdays. I'll definitely come over and eat for free!"
Seeing this, Wen Wan had no choice but to withdraw her hand, and then both parties paid for the meal.
But what Zhou Rong said was right. She would find an opportunity during the holidays to invite Zhou Rong and her mother to have a meal together, and of course Mulanzhi as well.
If Mulanzhi had not taken her to meet Zhou Rong's mother, and if Zhou Rong's mother had not introduced her to Zhou Rong, she would not have had this job now.
But she has to arrange all these before telling others, otherwise it will be in vain.
At the dinner table, Wen Wan and Zhou Rong talked about her work at the county branch over the past six months. Zhou Rong nodded continuously as she listened, and her eyes revealed her recognition of Wen Wan's abilities.
But after listening to it, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Wen Wan, although you're at headquarters now, the opportunities there are greater, but the competition is also much greater than at the branch."
Everyone wants to go to the headquarters, and everyone yearns for big cities, but at the same time, big cities have more opportunities and greater competition.
Wen Wan knew what Zhou Rong was saying, but she had made it clear to herself before she came that she could only do her best at work.
There is always someone better than you, and she knows her own worth.
"You are actually very talented and have outstanding abilities, but there is still that problem, your education."
Wen Wan actually passed the interview at the headquarters, but was ultimately assigned to the branch office because of her insufficient academic qualifications and work experience.
After more than half a year of precipitation, Wen Wan has indeed made a lot of achievements. At least the few articles she published are very eye-catching.
In particular, the article about caring for disabled children later attracted the attention of many people in society. Many parents of disabled children wrote to their newspaper, expressing their gratitude for the newspaper's attention to such children.
Because of this article, their lives have changed, at least some people have been able to gradually change their views on their children.
Although it is a small step for now, it will definitely bring a lot of benefits to children like them in the long run.
This achievement was actually the biggest help in Wen Wan's transfer to the headquarters. Many people at the headquarters had read this article and even expressed their approval.
However, some people will admire Wen Wan because of these articles, and similarly, there will be people who get excited and gossip about her because of her brilliance.
For example, the most common comment she had heard before was that her ability to write such an article was largely due to luck and chance. After all, this kind of social situation does not exist every day. If one day there are no such situations in society, what can she write about?
Looking at the several articles published by Wen Wan, it seems to be true, they are all about social issues.
So although everyone could see that what they said was deliberately looking for trouble, it still made some sense.
Wen Wan heard the message in Zhou Rong's words, pursed her lips, and said, "Actually, I have also learned a lot on my own in the past six months and read a lot of books. Writing these articles is not accidental or lucky."
While working in the past six months, she also learned a lot from Shen Deyu and her colleagues.
Especially Shen Deyu, anyone who can become the president of a branch is actually quite strong in all aspects.
Shen Deyu knew Wen Wan's shortcomings and saw that she had the determination to move up, so he was willing to help her.
He introduced her to many books and various literary works. Wen Wan tried her best to get the books in the past six months and read them over and over again.
It can be said that apart from not having a degree, the knowledge she knows is probably not much worse than theirs.
This was something Zhou Rong had not expected. After hearing Wen Wan's words, she couldn't help but look at her in surprise.
"Wen Wan, you really can give me surprises anytime and anywhere!"
Although Zhou Rong and Wen Wan have not been together for a long time, she can see that Wen Wan is not the kind of person who is used to bragging. Since she can say such words, it shows that she has indeed settled down and learned a lot in the past six months.
In this way, with solid knowledge at her disposal, she will be able to handle any problems others may find in the future.
but.
After Zhou Rong smiled, she still felt a little regretful.
"It would be great if you could improve your academic qualifications."
Knowledge is one thing, but academic qualifications are sometimes also indispensable.
Wen Wan also felt helpless.
She really has no way to deal with the issue of academic qualifications.
Unless she has an opportunity to go to university like Liang Jinheng, her academic qualifications will be like this.
"It's okay. Anyway, with what you said, I won't worry about you anymore."
Zhou Rong was actually worried that Wen Wan would encounter a similar situation in the future, so she asked her out for dinner and told her about it in advance during the meal so that she could be prepared.
But Wen Wan had already made preparations, so she didn't worry.
The two finished their meal quickly and then returned to the newspaper office to continue working.
Since she just started, Wen Wan's job was not difficult. She just helped with some odd jobs.
But because new documents had to be issued, everyone else was dealing with the new documents, and no one was left to do the remaining chores.
Wen Wan did not complain, but lowered her head to organize the previous newspapers and documents.
It was not until the afternoon, when she and Zhou Rong came out together, that she saw Liang Jinheng already standing at the door of the newspaper office waiting for her. She was stunned for a moment.
"When did you come here?"
Because it was Liang Jinheng's first time attending class, she didn't know when he would finish class. She thought it would be just like high school, where he would study all day and maybe even have evening self-study classes.
Liang Jinheng walked towards her and explained, "I finished class early. I studied for a while in the morning and a while in the afternoon."
Liang Jinheng also thought that it would be as painful as when he was in middle school, but it turned out to be okay. The atmosphere in the class was very relaxed, the professors’ explanations were very detailed, and even the class time was very short.
After listening to Liang Jinheng talk about his studies today, Wen Wan couldn't help but sigh: "So this is what college is like."
Liang Jinheng nodded, and seeing Wen Wan like this, he didn't mention college anymore.
"Since someone is here to pick you up, I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow."
Zhou Rong said goodbye to Wen Wan and turned to leave.
Liang Jinheng also prepared to go back with Wen Wan.
After returning and putting their things down, they went to take a look at the new house first.
The two of them discussed what to buy first, and then went to a nearby department store to make their purchases before it got dark.
The house was just an empty shell, without even a bed frame, so the first things to buy were these big items.
But it’s not easy to get large pieces of furniture nowadays.
Liang Jinheng has issued a lot of tickets in the past six months, but after looking at them, he found that he could only decorate one room.
He pondered for a moment, and finally said to Wen Wan: "Just bring the things from home."
The home he was talking about was naturally the home near the steel plant.
All the furniture in the house near the steel plant were the rewards he received for his work with human traffickers. They were all good things and came complete.
Wen Wan was a little hesitant.
Although they had already agreed with Mulanzhi to buy this house, Wen Wan was still more accustomed to calling the dormitory at the steel plant her home.
After all, they had lived there for more than half a year and had a special relationship.
Liang Jinheng saw her dilemma and continued to persuade her, "If you don't live in those things, they'll just sit there empty anyway. My two children and I don't need that much."
It would be a different story if furniture was easy to buy here, but they just looked around and found it expensive and not as nice as the ones they have at home.
Anyway, furniture is for people to use, so Liang Jinheng likes to let Wen Wan use better ones.
Wen Wan thought about it and finally nodded.
If nothing else, this can save some money.
"Okay, I'll call my brother later and ask him to see if he can help us transport the stuff over."
During the past six months, Wen Wan's elder brother Wen Guo has also established a firm foothold in the transportation company.
Under the guidance of several veteran drivers in the transport team, Wen Guo can now drive, but he is not yet qualified to drive alone and can only drive with others.
However, this is also a considerable improvement for Wen State.
Naturally, Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng did not forget to tell their eldest brother Wen Guo that they were leaving for the provincial capital. They even left him a key to the house, saying that they were not at home and he could go over and visit if he was free, or stay there if he wanted to rest.
Wen Guo took the key and said that he would go there from time to time.
This is good now. The key guy has it, and he can also arrange the car. It has become easy to deliver the furniture.
Wen Wan also thought this method was feasible, so she and Liang Jinheng went to call her eldest brother.
When the eldest brother learned about this, he said he would make arrangements. It just so happened that they would be passing through the provincial capital in two days, so he could help bring the furniture over to them.
Once you have the big furniture taken care of, you can buy the smaller ones later.
So in the following week, Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng went to the nearby supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores to buy various small pieces of furniture after get off work every day. After their eldest brother Wen Guo brought the furniture over, they also bought the small items.
After a few more days of packing, we finally moved in in mid-October.
After closing the courtyard of Liang Jinheng's comrade, Wen Wan said, "Didn't your comrade say when he would come back?"
They stayed at someone's house for more than half a month, and the previous time they stayed there for about a week, so no matter how you look at it, they felt they should thank them well.
Liang Jinheng shook his head.
"It's hard to say, but I'll definitely invite him when he comes back."
Wen Wan heard this and thought that this was the only way.
The moving day was October 20th. Wen Wan had originally planned to invite the Mu family to stay with her, but unexpectedly, two days before that day, the newspaper office suddenly became unprecedentedly busy.
The gentle leader told them that not only in the next few days, but even in the remaining half month, the entire newspaper might continue to be busy!
The leader's words left Wen Wan and the other colleagues confused and surprised.
A colleague who got along well with Wen Wan whispered to her that she had been working there for so long, but this was the first time she had seen her leader so excited!
It seems that something big is really happening this time.
Wen Wan thought about the document from above that they had been talking about before, and was afraid that it must be related to this matter.
However, their positions are too low, and they are not yet clear about what kind of documents and information could make the leaders so cautious.
On the 19th, Wen Wan went home and told Liang Jinheng the news, and Liang Jinheng comforted her.
"It's okay. I'll go buy groceries and cook tomorrow. I can cook simple dishes, and if it's more complicated, I'll buy some at mealtime."
Since it is a warm residence, even if the only guests are from the Mu family, the food cannot be too sparse.
For now, this is the only way.
After all, Wen Wan didn’t know how busy her boss really was, and she was also afraid that she would be so busy tomorrow that she wouldn’t even have time to get home and cook.
Wen Wan looked at Liang Jinheng and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Why are you so tired? It's you who should be so tired. Look at you. You've been here for more than half a month, and I think you've lost weight."
Liang Jinheng frowned and couldn't help but measure Wenwan's waist.
The waist was so thin that he could almost pinch it with one hand.
Wen Wan felt an itch on her waist when he pinched her, and she couldn't help but open his hand.
"I...I'm in a bitter summer, not tired from work."
Her job really wasn't that difficult, and it wasn't tiring either.
However, Liang Jinheng still felt that she was too busy. Anyway, Wen Wan spent much less time with him at home than when she was at the county branch.
Originally, Liang Jinheng thought that if he could overcome it, he might be able to get used to not seeing Wen Wan for ten days or half a month. However, he didn't expect that before he finished studying and went home, the time he spent with Wen Wan was shortened to only a few hours in the evening.
Recently, Wen Wan leaves even earlier than him, and almost goes out as soon as she opens her eyes.
In this case, Liang Jinheng's previous plan of trying his best to get used to this matter might be a bit difficult.
He felt that perhaps he still had to find a way to transfer to the provincial capital as soon as possible.
"I'll make some mung bean porridge later, and then I'll go to the auntie next door and ask her for some pickled mustard greens for you."
Wen Wan's appetite has indeed been poor these days. Liang Jinheng felt bad seeing this, so he tried his best to stimulate her appetite.
In summer, the best things to stimulate the appetite are sauerkraut, which is refreshing and relieves greasiness.
However, they have only been here for half a month, so they don't have time to pickle vegetables or make salted vegetables.
Fortunately, Liang Jinheng noticed a few days ago that the aunt next door was eating pickles while having dinner at the door. They looked delicious, so he shamelessly asked her to buy some.
The aunt was also a down-to-earth person. She thought there was nothing worth buying in these pickles, and they were not valuable, so she gave Liang Jinheng a bowl on the spot.
Unexpectedly, Wen Wan had almost finished eating it in a few days.
So now Liang Jinheng has to go to the aunt to ask for some.
But this time, I definitely have to pay.
Wen Wan looked at Liang Jinheng, and it would be a lie to say that she didn't dare to move.
She and Liang Jinheng lived here these days. Only on weekends or when Liang Jinheng had fewer classes would he and she go to see Da Wa and Er Niu, or Liang Jinheng would pick up the two children and send them over the next day. The rest of the time, the couple lived here together.
Without the child, Liang Jinheng has had more opportunities to do whatever he wants recently.
But at the same time, he was more considerate and meticulous in taking care of Wen Wan.
Sometimes Liang Jinheng treated her like a young lady, and Wen Wan would feel like letting the two children stay at the Mu family.
But when I think about it, it’s really heartless. If the two children knew about this, they would be heartbroken.
While Liang Jinheng went next door to ask his aunt to buy pickles, Wen Wan went to check on the mung bean porridge in the pot.
Unexpectedly, Liang Jinheng bought a fish today. Maybe he was in a hurry to pick me up from get off work and had no time to prepare it. The fish was left on the stove and was emitting a fishy smell.
When Wen Wan entered the small kitchen, she suddenly smelled this smell. Her stomach suddenly churned and she dry-heaved.
Her face turned pale and she quickly left the kitchen, covering her mouth and running to the side to vomit.
In the end, I didn't spit out anything, but instead I burst into tears.
After squatting on the ground to relax for a while, Wen Wan finally felt a little more comfortable.
But she still felt a little strange, frowned, and wondered, could it be that I ate something bad at noon and my stomach is upset?
I touched the tail and it didn't seem to be painful anywhere.
In addition to feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, Wen Wan also had a guess in her mind.
But.
It shouldn't be possible.
Although she and Liang Jinheng had done something during this period, she also paid careful attention to it.
I don’t think so.
Wen Wan was shocked and confused.
But her hands subconsciously protected her stomach.
No matter what, she decided to go to the hospital after being busy for the past two days.
By the time Liang Jinheng returned, Wen Wan was no longer in any condition.
She hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell Liang Jinheng about this.
After all, she couldn't tell whether she had an upset stomach or was really pregnant. She should wait until she had a good night's sleep tonight or the results came out in two days.
She was afraid that if she told Liang Jinheng now, Liang Jinheng would not even let her go to work tomorrow.
The boss has given me instructions again today, and I will be busy like crazy starting tomorrow.
There is no way she would ask for leave at this critical moment.
"I've got the pickles back. I'm going to go see how the mung bean porridge is going. Oh, and I also bought a fish. Wanwan, how do you want to eat it?"
When Wanwan thought of the fish, her brows couldn't help but frown, and the fishy smell seemed to linger in her nose again.
She tried her best to suppress the discomfort and said to Liang Jinheng, "Whatever, I don't really want to eat fish. I'll just have some pickles."
When Liang Jinheng heard her say she didn't want to eat fish, he didn't think much about it and said, "Then I'll go buy meat tomorrow."
"Um."
Then he went in and steamed the fish casually, and put the mung bean porridge out to cool, and dinner was done.
While eating, Wen Wan wanted to stay away from the fish as much as possible, and she still felt a little uncomfortable when she smelled the smell.
However, in order not to worry Liang Jinheng, she finally held back.
When she woke up the next day, she found that she seemed to have no feelings. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was relieved or what.
I touched my stomach, finally shook my head, got up and went to work.
It was also on this day that she understood why her boss said that she would be extremely busy in the next few days.
Because as soon as she got there, she heard big news.
Someone in the newspaper said that the college entrance examination will be resumed!
When Wen Wan heard the news, she was completely stunned.
Is the college entrance examination going to be resumed?
"Isn't it shocking? I'm shocked too! Or maybe someone just went to the office and saw the boss on the phone, and the boss accidentally said it!"
"No wonder they say they're so busy lately. With such big news, they must be very busy!"
According to them, the conference actually ended a few days ago, and people in the capital who were well-informed had known about it a long time ago. It was only because they were far away from the capital that they found out about it now.
However, this news cannot be spread for the time being and will have to wait until tomorrow to be announced to the outside world.
Wen Wan calmed herself down and withdrew her shock.
"Yeah, I know, but I won't tell anyone."
"It's okay. It's tomorrow anyway, and we don't know much in advance."
However, despite saying this, everyone's mood is actually not as calm as it appears on the surface.
For Wen Wan, this news was even more shocking.
She used to dream about whether she would have the chance to go to college, but she thought she would never have the chance.
Who would have thought that now...
However, they don’t know what the specific policies are.
Around noon, the leader came out and called everyone together. He probably felt that there was no point in keeping it secret any longer, so he told everyone directly.
The leader told them the general content of those policies, and then asked everyone to take their work seriously today and tomorrow, to make sure this issue of news is the best it can be, and to let everyone know this shocking news!
When Wen Wan learned that she was actually qualified to take the exam, a cry of surprise was on the tip of her throat, but she forced herself to hold it back. She clenched her palms so tightly that her nails almost dug into her flesh with excitement.
Can she also take the college entrance examination?
Does that prove that she can also go to college?
This afternoon, we were all preparing for the release of new news tomorrow, and everyone was very excited.
In the evening, Wen Wan and her colleagues got off work half an hour later than usual, but no one complained.
Liang Jinheng waited outside for a long time, and even thought that something might have happened to Wen Wan and the others. When he wanted to rush in, he finally saw Wen Wan and the others coming out.
The moment Liang Jinheng saw Wen Wan appear safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked over and took the materials from Wen Wan's hand. In the past, Wen Wan would also bring some things from the newspaper home, but this time, Wen Wan stepped back when Liang Jinheng extended his hand.
Liang Jinheng was stunned.
Wen Wan immediately explained: "I can do it myself. This document is very important."
Well, knowing that his wife is a workaholic and her attitude towards work is not comparable to his, Liang Jinheng didn't think too much about it.
"They're all here, let's go back quickly."
Hearing that the Mu family had arrived, Wen Wan's excited thoughts calmed down a lot.
"Okay, let's go back."
It's already half an hour later than usual, so they must have been waiting for a long time.
Wen Wan didn't dare to delay any longer and urged Liang Jinheng to go home.
Fortunately, the Mu family understood Wen Wan's work. Seeing that she came back late, they took the initiative to help Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan cook early.
Seeing Mu Qingping and Mu Lanzhi busy in the kitchen, Wen Wan couldn't help blushing. She glared at Liang Jinheng and whispered, "Didn't you tell them to rest?"
Liang Jinheng is innocent.
"I told them I would cook the meal and asked them to wait at home."
But who knew that once he left, they would become restless.
Wen Wan also knew that Mulanzhi and Mu Qingping had volunteered to do it, so Liang Jinheng could not be blamed for this.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame her for getting off work late.
Thinking of this, she quickly put her things away and rushed to the kitchen.
"Aunt Mu, Sister Qingping, you two go take a rest first. Let me take care of these things."
"It's okay, we'll be done soon. As for you, you must be tired after working for so long. You should go and rest for a while."
"Yes, Wanwan, we are all family, why should we be so formal?"
Mu Qingping was helping Mulanzhi on the side and couldn't help but smile and said to Wen Wan.
But Wen Wan still felt bad.
As the host family, they invited people to stay over, so it wouldn't make sense for them to just sit there and wait for a ready-made meal.
She walked over to take over the work in Mu Qingping's hands, but she didn't expect that she was actually dealing with seafood.
The fishy smell was even stronger than yesterday's fish, and Wen Wan couldn't help but dry heave again.
Mulanzhi and Mu Qingping were stunned.
