Chapter 316 Someone Handed Me a Pillow
After Yu Fu and Cheng Guizhi were admitted to the hospital, Yu Fu said the following:
“I heard about what happened last time. I shouldn’t have gotten involved, but Guizhi has been so upset these past few days that she can’t sleep and keeps reflecting on whether she did something wrong. After a few days of intense internal struggle and my guidance, she has figured it out and knows where she went wrong.”
While Yu Fu was speaking, Song Lubai kept a close eye on Cheng Guizhi without making a sound.
Cheng Guizhi looked reluctant, her hands on her lap constantly clutching her pants.
But when Yu Fu's gaze shifted to her, she immediately said, "I've thought a lot about this these past few days. At first, I was quite angry, but after Lao Yu's guidance, I've realized my mistake. Comrade Wei Zhao was right about many things. Perhaps I shouldn't have interfered in that couple's affairs. If I hadn't meddled, that woman might have gone back to her husband. It's normal for couples to bicker..."
Song Lubai felt increasingly uneasy. Cheng Guizhi kept saying she had realized her problem, but what she realized was not what she was talking about at all.
While Cheng Guizhi was lost in her own world, rambling on and on, Wei Zhao returned.
"Oh, isn't this Director Cheng? Who are you here to lecture this time?"
When Wei Zhao heard that Cheng Guizhi had come to apologize, he felt uneasy.
She insulted someone that day, and that person even came to apologize to her?
Glancing at the man next to Cheng Guizhi, Wei Zhao thought: Could it be that Wei Yang has caught her man doing something wrong? Otherwise, why would he do such a pathetic thing?
"Apologize? I don't understand what you mean. You don't need to apologize to me, after all, you haven't done anything to wrong me."
Cheng Guizhi remained silent, her face stiff.
Yu Fu quickly said, "She said a lot of outdated things that day without thinking. She's not here to apologize today, but to thank you for helping her to improve her thinking."
Song Lubai: "..."
This man is quick-witted! He's got something special!
Just then, Wei Yang looked up at her, and the moment their eyes met, the corners of their mouths curved slightly.
It's like someone just brings you a pillow when you're feeling sleepy.
Wei Zhao sat down on the small stool and looked at Cheng Guizhi, saying, "Before I came to Xinjiang Province, I was the women's director in the capital city. I feel that just that one time is not enough to completely correct your thinking. Men and women are equal. I'm afraid that if you go to judge other people's cases in the future, you will only scold women for not knowing what's good for them. So, I think we need to have a good talk in the future."
Yu Fu and Cheng Guizhi were only focused on the key information about the head of the women's affairs department in the capital city.
The two of them clearly didn't believe it. They both thought that if Wei Zhao had really been the head of the women's department in the capital, how could she be in their little corner of the country?
That's not just any place, it's the capital!
The difference between the women's director in the capital and the women's director in their 16th Regiment was like heaven and earth.
"Sister-in-law, look at your watch, what time is it?"
As soon as Wei Zhao finished speaking, Yu Fu and his wife both looked at Song Lubai, and then they saw Song Lubai and Wei Yang reveal their wristwatches under their sleeves.
Yu Fu and his wife thought to themselves, Wei Yang's family is quite wealthy, and each of them owns a watch.
Song Lubai, quick-witted, countered, "Sis, it's 2:30 now. Don't you have a watch? Why aren't you wearing it?"
Wei Zhao chuckled inwardly, thinking that Song Lubai was truly clever.
"At the kindergarten, we have to wash the kids' dirty pants. Yesterday, water got in, and it seems like there's a problem. They were drying inside."
Song Lubai said, "You gave me one before, and Wei Yang also gave me one. If your watch breaks, I have another one. You can wear it for now."
Wei Yang was quite impressed with their teamwork.
After Wei Zhao responded, he said to Cheng Guizhi, "I think it's getting late, you should go home and cook. Comrade Cheng, if you really want to learn from me, give up your position as director and you can learn from me from now on. I'll show you how I used to do things back in the capital!"
Song Lubai almost choked on her own saliva.
She had never met anyone as impolite as Wei Zhao.
Cheng Guizhi's face turned green, and Yu Fu could no longer maintain his facial expression.
He thought he had been polite enough. They were all in the same 16th Regiment and would see each other all the time. Wei Yang thought that since he had come to visit today, he would not make things difficult for him in the future because of women's affairs. But he did not expect that Wei Zhao would not take him seriously.
As Yu Fu struggled with whether to turn against them or continue to meekly endure it, Wei Zhao smiled:
"Look how scared you are, Director Cheng. You are the Women's Director, and Wei Yang is not the kind of regimental commander who would help his own people. I was just joking earlier, but Director Cheng, I am really not sure if your thinking is still outdated. I really don't trust you. If the female comrades in our regiment come to you for justice, and you still use your old-fashioned, stinky principles to educate them, that would be really harmful."
Cheng Guizhi's face turned pale and then red, then pale again, and she couldn't utter a single word.
Yu Fu hurriedly said, "Comrade Wei Zhao, if you really have this kind of work experience, why don't you have your original unit issue a certificate and submit it to the regiment, so that my Guizhi can work behind you from now on, and you can teach her the ideas that women of the new era should learn."
Yu Fu was skeptical about Wei Zhao's claim that she had served as the head of the women's affairs department in the capital.
If it's true, why did Wei Zhao divorce her husband and stay here raising her child?
Wei Zhao laughed and said, "Does Comrade Yu's word carry any weight? If it's true, I'll really send a telegram back."
She originally planned to work her way up to a junior position in the Women's Federation and then try to climb the ranks later, but it would be even better if she could become the director of the Women's Federation directly.
Yu Fu said, "If Comrade Wei Zhao had experience working in the capital, he would definitely be qualified to be the director of our 16th Regiment."
Song Lubai said, "When I left the Shicheng Supply and Marketing Department, my section chief wrote me a letter of recommendation. Sister, if you could write a letter of recommendation and send it over, no one could say you got in through connections, right, Political Commissar Yu?"
Comrade Yu nodded, "That's right."
Wei Zhao smiled and said, "Alright, once my certificate and recommendation letter arrive, I'll go see you, Comrade Yu, as soon as possible. I'll leave my matter to you. From now on, I'll also take care of Director Cheng's ideological issues. I'll definitely help you make rapid progress."
Cheng Guizhi didn't know what expression to make.
She came today to make amends and resolve the conflict, but she will soon be demoted and have to work for Wei Zhao from now on.
Did her man come here to find someone to deal with her later?
Comrade Yu Fu was adept at handling interpersonal relationships. He stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, once the documents arrive, if there are no problems, you and my wife can work hard together. I can tell you're a cultured person. Guizhi's education level is not high, and her thinking is too backward. I hope she can progress with you in the future."
"Alright, you guys go ahead and eat, we're leaving now."
