Chen Fugui?
She ignored him and looked at Director Zhou.
"As President Xi Jinping said, women hold up half the sky, and many women have made significant contributions to the construction of our country.
I have always taken these female predecessors as my role models. As a woman, I am also willing to sacrifice my life for my country. I firmly believe that whether you can do a good job depends on your determination and perseverance, not on whether you are a man or a woman! "
Shen Huanxi finished speaking passionately.
In fact, what she wanted to do most was to say to Chen Fugui, "You look down on women so much, weren't you born by a woman? Without a woman, you wouldn't exist?"
But she didn't want Director Zhou to think that she was a petty person. After all, it was the leaders of the office like Director Zhou who made the final decision on whether she could become a publicist, not just an ordinary person.
After hearing what she said, Director Zhou showed appreciation.
"Okay! Comrade Xiao Shen, our Propaganda Department, our Command Center, and even the entire Three Norths Project need people like you who are determined and perseverant! Good comrades who are willing to work hard.
I have accepted your information. We will post the acceptance notice on the bulletin board in the next few days. Please remember to check it out."
"Okay, thank you Director Zhou." Shen Huanxi said and went out.
When she passed by Chen Fugui, she seemed to hear him say "What can a woman do?" She ignored him and heard Chen Fugui talking to Director Zhou.
"Director Zhou, I'm here to apply to be a publicist as well. Here are my information."
…
Shen Huanxi frowned. Does that mean that she might become a colleague of Chen Fugui in the future?
Chen Fugui is the husband of Zhao Qiu'e, who was Shen Huanxi's colleague when she worked as a waiter in a state-owned hotel.
At that time, the reform and opening up had just begun, and the business of state-owned hotels had not yet been impacted by private hotels. Working as a waiter in a state-owned hotel was considered a good job.
Zhao Qiu'e was hardworking and was transferred to the kitchen as a cook after working as a waitress for half a year. Her salary increased a lot, so Chen Fugui stopped working and relied on her for support.
Being a gigolo is not a big sin, but Chen Fugui has a very strong self-esteem. The family's income depends entirely on Zhao Qiu'e. He always feels that Zhao Qiu'e looks down on him, and he abuses Zhao Qiu'e from time to time.
Shen Huanxi often saw bruises all over Zhao Qiu'e's body when she was at work.
This makes sense why Chen Fugui said those derogatory words about women just now.
A useless man who beats women because of his inferiority complex would of course like to find confidence by belittling women.
I just never thought that a gigolo would come looking for a job.
Come to think of it, although there are business opportunities everywhere in this era, there are also people who fail in business and lose everything.
The Three Norths Project Municipal Command is a state-owned unit after all. Working in such a unit is like having a iron rice bowl, with a guaranteed income, and the risk is much smaller than doing business. It is normal for some people to think so.
Shen Huanxi didn't think much about it. After leaving the office building, he saw Pan Jianguo and Chen Wenfang looking apologetic.
"Xiao Shen, I'm sorry. A colleague just passed by here and met us. He said that our unit is temporarily busy with something and we two would go to help. We agreed to hang out with you today, but now we have to change our plans." Pan Jianguo said.
Shen Huanxi became anxious.
"Why don't you guys hurry back to your work place! Don't waste time here because of me. I know the way back to Guixiang Village now. It's very close. I can go back by myself and I won't get lost. What are you two waiting for here for?"
"Don't worry, we have to at least get you to the entrance of the alley. Get in the car quickly." Chen Wenfang called.
Shen Huanxi saw how insistent they were and didn't want to waste their time any longer, so he quickly got into the car.
The couple sent her to the entrance of the alley and then went back to work immediately.
Shen Huanxi had just taken two steps when he met Zhao Qiu'e.
It's really strange that I have such a good relationship with this couple today?
Zhao Qiu'e was selling two baskets of raw chestnuts on a shoulder pole.
These days, state-owned hotels cannot compete with private hotels. The state-owned hotel where Shen Huanxi used to work closed down, and the employees lost their jobs one after another and started small businesses.
When Zhao Qiu'e saw Shen Huanxi, she was busy greeting him.
"Huanxi! It's been a while since I last saw you. How have you been? Come over and chat with me."
Shen Huanxi walked over.
"Selling chestnuts."
"Yes, it will be a while before the chestnuts are ripe. These are an early batch of chestnuts. They can be sold at a good price now. I have to sell them quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sell them at such a high price later."
"You are still so business-minded."
"Who are you bragging about? All of us who came out of the state-owned hotel have some ability to make money, and you are no less capable. By the way, Runmei and Zhenzhen are also nearby. Sisters! Joy is here!"
Zhao Qiu'e shouted loudly, and two women in their twenties came over carrying loads on their shoulders. They were Shen Huanxi's former colleagues Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen.
They all carried baskets to sell goods, and it didn't matter where they sold them. The three women surrounded Song Qingqiu and reminisced about the past.
"I heard that you really divorced? You are so cruel. What about the children? The children will no longer have a complete family." Zhao Qiu'e said with a worried look on her face.
Shen Huanxi saw several bruises on her collarbone, which were obviously caused by being beaten. He could only feel pity for her misfortune and anger at her for not fighting back. It was all because of her ideas that Zhao Qiu'e ended up living like this.
Shen Huanxi shook his head.
"I want a divorce just for the sake of my children. Feng Shenghui and I always quarrel and fight. It's better to divorce than to let the children grow up in such a family environment."
"I agree with this. It's so uncomfortable for children to always see their parents quarreling and fighting. I'm afraid they will have psychological problems over time," said Deng Runmei.
Wei Zhenzhen also agreed.
"Children need a family, but they don't need a family with discord. How can they be happy watching their parents quarrel and fight? Nowadays, women can survive after getting divorced. If you don't believe me, go ask people on the street. There are too many divorced couples now."
"And Huanxi has remarried. Doesn't that mean she has found a new father for Changan and Changning? Changan and Changning are no longer homeless. Anyway, if I can't support them anymore, I'll get divorced. After the divorce, I can always find another man to marry."
Zhao Qiu'e listened at the side with her eyes wide open, as if she had heard something shocking.
Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen quickly changed the topic.
"Then what about the house in your village? The homestead belongs to your ex-husband, right? You can't get a share of it. I heard that you left the house with nothing, so the house is just given to that man?"
"You used to work in a state-owned hotel during the day, and after get off work you set up a stall to sell toys. You took all the money you earned back home. To put it bluntly, that house was built with your hard-earned money. Don't you really want to find a way to get it back?"
"..." Shen Huanxi didn't know how to answer this question. Should she tell them that she agreed to leave the house on her own initiative?
"And is the man you remarried reliable? Don't walk into a tiger's den just after escaping from a wolf's den. I'm a little worried. He has disabled legs, right? Does he need your service?" Wei Zhenzhen asked.
"He can take care of himself and has two sons of his own."
"That's good." Deng Runmei felt much more relieved now.
"But he must have some other problem, right? Otherwise, why did his ex-wife leave him?"
"Isn't it? If he was really nice, would his ex-wife run away? No matter what, Huanxi, you have to be more careful. You suffered in your last marriage, so don't let yourself be wronged in this one."
"You must be on guard against others. You can't trust others so easily anymore."
…
Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen were trying to persuade Shen Huanxi with good intentions, but halfway through their conversation, they suddenly heard the sound of wheels.
Looking over, I saw Xiao Shanhe coming over in a wheelchair.
There was only a man with a broken leg sitting in a wheelchair nearby. He was very handsome. Deng Runmei and the others knew at first glance that this was Shen Huanxi's current husband.
This is so embarrassing. I was caught saying bad things about someone, right?
Deng Runmei and Wei Zhenzhen laughed awkwardly. Xiao Shanhe pushed the wheelchair over and spoke in a serious and solemn voice.
"I will treat Comrade Shen Huanxi well and will never let her suffer any loss in this marriage. I will do my best to protect her. We all do business nearby, so you are welcome to come and supervise me at any time."
This serious and solemn look is like taking an oath.
Wei Zhenzhen and Deng Runmei realized that this man really had feelings for Shen Huanxi, and they felt even more embarrassed.
When Xiao Shanhe said this, he was expressing his attitude towards Shen Huanxi, but he also made it clear that he had heard what they said.
Shen Huanxi walked over and stood behind Xiao Shanhe, holding his wheelchair with both hands.
"Why are you being so serious? You're talking as if you want to start a revolution with me. It would be fine if you could just be nice to me.
Let me introduce you to my friends, Deng Runmei, Wei Zhenzhen, and Zhao Qiu'e. Runmei, Zhenzhen, Qiu'e, and this is my man, Xiao Shanhe.
Shen Huanxi briefly introduced him, and the two sides greeted each other. When Xiao Shanhe heard her say "This is my man", his earlobes actually turned red.
"Okay, Zhenzhen, Qiu'e, Runmei, let's go back first so as not to delay your business. My home is over there. Go straight along this alley and turn right at the big locust tree. That big yard is our home. You can come to my house to play with me anytime."
Shen Huanxi said goodbye to his three friends and pushed Xiao Shanhe home.
Wei Zhenzhen and the others discussed for a while.
"It seems like he is really good to Huanxi, much better than Feng Shenghui. When will Feng Shenghui promise to be good to Huanxi?"
"That man is also very handsome, and I feel comfortable just by looking at him. He also has a big yard of his own. He is not like Feng Shenghui, who only relies on Huanxi. Huanxi has married well this time, and we can rest assured."
…
Shen Huanxi heard some of it and thought to himself, these three women, are they not firm in their stance?
"Oh, by the way, why are you here?" After turning into the alley, Shen Huanxi remembered to ask Xiao Shanhe.
"I just came back from outside and found something that I thought you might need." Xiao Shanhe said, handing a bag to Shen Huanxi.
