Chapter 228
Bai Xiuxiu packed up simply and said, "Mom, Qinghe, I'm leaving first."
She followed Director Wang out of the house, and Director Wang pushed the bicycle over to her: "Xiao Bai, can you ride a bike? If you can, take me with you."
"Yes." Bai Xiu Xiu sat on the seat and waited for Director Wang to sit firmly before pedaling.
At home, after Wang Qinghe finished his meal, he started to help clean the house.
Mrs. Wei saw that her son-in-law was very skilled at doing housework.
"Qinghe, I can do this job. Don't you have to go to work too? Just go about your business. I'll take care of the house for you." Mrs. Wei urged her son-in-law to go out.
It's enough as long as she helps with the housework.
"Go quickly. From now on, I will stay with you. Just do your own things and don't worry about the housework. When I can't move anymore, you can take care of it."
As Mrs. Wei spoke, she gave him the lunch box as well.
Wang Qinghe took the lunch box in a daze. This was the first time his mother-in-law had stayed at their house, and he rarely visited other people's homes. All he could see was his mother Zhao Guifen's attitude towards them.
She only treats the second and fifth children like this.
"Don't just stand there, you'll be late again if you wait any longer. Mom will make chicken soup for you and Xiuxiu tonight. When I went out yesterday, I heard from the girl in the yard in front that her old hen had stopped laying eggs.
I ordered this old hen secretly, without anyone knowing.
I'll get it in a minute.
This chicken soup has been cooking for several hours and it tastes really good.”
Mrs. Wei urged her son-in-law to go out, and after closing the door, she began to take care of the two children.
Wang Qing and his family had already walked out the door, still a little dazed.
On the other side, Bai Xiu Xiu followed Director Wang on bicycle to the county committee, preparing to go to a meeting.
When they arrived, they happened to run into Director Du from the Huaihua Street next door. She came with Zhou Jiaojiao. It was obvious that Zhou Jiaojiao had been very popular with her in the past two days.
This made her favor Zhou Jiaojiao a lot more, otherwise she would never have brought her to such an important occasion.
"Old Du, what a coincidence." Director Wang greeted him politely.
Director Du smiled when he heard this and said, "What a coincidence! Your street was really busy yesterday."
Director Wang was stunned for a moment, but still replied politely: "There is no way. It snowed so heavily suddenly. We are in charge of this street, so we have to be responsible, right?"
"Is it because of responsibility or just to pretend? We all know it, and you don't need to make such excuses. Our street was also very lively yesterday, but it was all spontaneous here.
Everyone loves the streets.
Lao Wang, we will definitely not lose this year’s competition.”
Director Du is very imposing.
Director Wang knew that she was trying her best and just wanted to compete with him, so he didn't accept the challenge and was still very polite: "Old Du, your street is very good. I have to leave quickly.
It's very cold early in the morning.
Xiuxiu, let’s go.”
The moment Zhou Jiaojiao saw Bai Xiu Xiu, she felt uncomfortable all over.
She paid a great price to be here. She gave Director Du so many gifts in the past few days that she became numb to it.
Only then did Director Du agree to take her with him.
But what does Bai Xiu Xiu rely on?
Seeing Zhou Jiaojiao's look, how could Director Du not know what she was thinking?
"Old Wang doesn't have the same personality as me. She is the most conservative person. If anyone dares to give her a gift, she will transfer that person away.
Jiaojiao, not everyone is as open-minded as me.
I've heard about your sister-in-law several times.
She seems to be doing a good job, and Old Wang thinks highly of her."
Director Du deliberately provoked Zhou Jiaojiao's desire to win.
What Zhou Jiaojiao hated the most was that she was not as good as Bai Xiu Xiu. When she heard this, she exploded.
She smiled very reluctantly: "Director, I know exactly what kind of person my sister-in-law is. How powerful can she be? She is just trying to please Director Wang on purpose and is stepping on others to climb up.
On Wutong Street, countless people disliked her.
Director Wang must have been under a lot of pressure because of her.
But I am different from her. I will never bring any trouble to you, Director.
Actually, I won't stay in this street office forever. Director, you know that my family has very strong connections in the provincial capital.
I came here from a village without even a stopover.
This is just a stepping stone.
Director, you are an open-minded person, and I am willing to confide in you. In the future, please take care of me, and I am willing to help you." Zhou Jiaojiao took the initiative to hold Director Du's wrist, and outsiders would only feel that they were very close.
I have no idea what these two are talking about.
Du Ya was a very ambitious woman, and after hearing these words, she was also moved.
But... we can't let Zhou Jiaojiao get too proud.
In just a moment, Du Ya came up with a plan. She just frowned and said, "Although I am an open-minded person, I won't take care of anyone without caring about anything."
After all, I also want fame.
Jiaojiao, if you really want to use our street office as a stepping stone, you must have real ability.
Don't talk about how Bai Xiu Xiu steps on others and how unpopular she is.
All I know is that she really helped Lao Wang achieve results.
The last time I came to a meeting, Lao Wang was praised.”
"Don't worry, Director. I'm no worse than her." Zhou Jiaojiao was extremely confident.
She has already inquired about how Bai Xiu Xiu did it. To put it bluntly, the reason why Bai Xiu Xiu has been so popular recently is because she is lucky, right?
The cases I encounter are those where I can see results immediately.
But she is luckier than Bai Xiu Xiu, so she will definitely be able to do things more simply in the future.
Director Du didn't know where she got the confidence from, but she was too lazy to be curious, she just wanted to see the result. No matter how nice Zhou Jiaojiao said, she still had to curry favor with her.
"Okay, let's go to the meeting first. Everyone here today is from the provincial capital. When you follow me, don't talk nonsense. It's best not to say anything." Du Ya warned Zhou Jiaojiao.
In front, Director Wang and Bai Xiu Xiu had already arrived at the conference room.
The heads of the various street offices had not yet arrived, so when Director Wang arrived, some who knew her greeted her.
"Old Wang, what are you carrying?" A short-haired female comrade who had a good relationship with Director Wang came over and looked at Bai Xiu Xiu curiously.
"Ah, this is Xiaobai I told you about before. I will bring her here often in the future. Old Lu, please take good care of her." Director Wang introduced Bai Xiuxiu to everyone without hesitation.
After the pleasantries were over, Director Wang whispered to Bai Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, some people from the provincial capital will be coming soon, so we should try not to attract attention. After the meeting, I will take you to meet them.
The person leading their team this time is a friend of mine."
