Chapter 397 Don't Regret
Director Chen, who was the main force in persuading An Zhixia this time, smiled and quickly said, "Our organization is not unkind. Deputy Director Xiao An's situation is special. He can work from home and receive his salary and benefits as usual. He only needs to occasionally instruct the comrades in the station."
An Zhixia shook her head. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but one pregnancy makes a woman stupid for three years. I've been losing a lot of hair recently. I feel like I can't wake up every day. I have no strength. My brother brings me food.
I am afraid that after I have a baby, I will be out of touch with work and it will be difficult to pick up again. I guess I will just be a wife and mother in the future."
"Xiao An, you are still young," Director Bai saw that she refused to give in and answered firmly without hesitation, so he said with an unhappy face, "You are not yet twenty years old, right? You have a long life ahead of you. If you don't work hard to build a career now, you will have no time and energy to work hard in the future.
You are a capable child. Are you really willing to give up a promising career and only serve your truck-driving husband and children?
I thought you were a new type of woman, so you should respond to the organization's call, women can hold up half the sky!"
An Zhixia said calmly: "I think it is also very important to let my man work without worries, and cultivating children to become talents is also a contribution to the country, no matter how big or small.
No one can guarantee that my children’s achievements in the future will be lower than mine.”
"Let me put it this way," Director Bai took a deep breath, stared at An Zhixia's fair and delicate face with his not-so-big eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a hint of coldness: "Although I am the director, I don't have the final say in the unit. You are the deputy director in the station, at least you can protect your brother.
But if you leave, your brother will have no one to protect him and he will easily be taken down by someone else.
There are many people who can cook in Xiahua, and those whose ancestors were imperial chefs are also counted. Although they are not as good-looking as your brother and good at speaking, there are more hosts who excel in these two aspects. The male and female hosts can fully absorb all the advantages of your brother and eliminate his shortcomings.
Taogui will soon be owned by a new owner. Deputy Director Xiao An, are you willing to let it go?"
An Zhixia sneered: "You are willing to ruin this program, why should I be reluctant?
Do you think that since we are the grandchildren of the Jiang family, would we care about a TV program and a deputy director?
Speaking of the TV station's lucrative advertising revenue, well, since I can make the TV station earn millions a month, why can't I increase revenue in other industries?
Not everyone wants to take all the money. I have a lot of money, and I am not afraid of your investigation. My monthly fee is several thousand yuan. How can I spend it all in one month?
If I can't even spend the money, what's the point of taking it?"
Several people couldn't help but gasp. What does it mean to have a salary in the thousands? Because An Zhixia had made the accounts transparent from the beginning, after Director Bai and his men took over the company, there was very little room for them to manipulate and make money. Besides, the more people there were, the better. If everyone had a thousand yuan a month, it would be good.
Director Bai's face became even gloomier. Money was not an option, and his confidence in persuading her was reduced to half. "Deputy Director Xiao An, why don't you tell us straight out what it will take to get back to the station? It was our leader who specifically asked you to open an overseas channel."
"The organization also signed an agreement with me at the beginning. I am fully responsible for the overseas channel," An Zhixia chuckled and said, "I am a stubborn person. If my things are used by others, I would rather not have them."
Director Bai almost choked out of breath. Almost all the revenue of the TV station came from the overseas channel. He would never give up this big fat piece of meat. "Deputy Xiao An, the overseas channel is already on track. You don't have to keep watching it all the time, right? The TV station is a whole. You are now the deputy director, not the director of the overseas channel.
Let's work together to make the TV station a success, this is what the organization wants to see."
"Director, I'm very sorry. My brother and I are not suitable for this kind of work. It's troublesome for you to come here in person." An Zhixia said unmoved.
"Deputy Xiao An," the number one pillar advised, "This is an order given to you by the organization. If you don't come back, how will you explain it when the organization asks you about it?"
"What can I, a pregnant woman, say?" An Zhixia sneered and said, "You don't need to persuade me anymore. I won't go back if I say so. You don't need to use any despicable means, otherwise you will anger me. No matter how high you climb, I can pull you down.
Don't think that you did it perfectly last time when you instigated the children to break into my house and rob. If I really pursue this matter, none of you will be able to escape.
You should also be thankful that I'm pregnant now, otherwise I would definitely treat you with a slap in the face."
The light in Director Bai's eyes flashed extremely quickly, and he frowned and pretended to ask in confusion.
"You don't have to tell me you don't know. You know what's going on," An Zhixia didn't want to hear their annoying words. "Everyone, please go in. Don't make me call someone to send you out."
Director Bai is used to being a man of high status, and it has been a long time since he was publicly ignored.
He looked at her with sinister eyes, but with a sneer on his lips:
"An Zhixia, you still need to be tactful, otherwise you will easily suffer losses.
I'm asking you one last time, are you going back or not?"
An Zhixia still shook her head and said calmly, "I want to stay at home and take care of my baby."
"Okay, okay, very good. I hope you don't regret your decision today," Director Bai laughed twice, his cold eyes swept across An Zhixia's belly, and he called for the two of them to walk out together.
The number one pillar wrinkled his nose at An Zhixia, holding the things he brought with him, "An Zhixia, a man who knows the current situation is a hero. You are talented, but you also have to be able to keep it.
The Jiang family is powerful, but they are not short of money. In many cases, power is more important than money."
As she said this, she walked out with a light laugh, pinching her throat and shouting, "Director Bai, please walk slowly. The corridor is dark and narrow. Don't trip."
After the three people left, Mrs. Deng asked worriedly, "Mrs. Fang, I think that Director Bai is not a good person. Will they do something bad behind your back?
You are pregnant now. If you eat something wrong, it is easy to..."
Although she didn't finish her words, An Zhixia could clearly understand what she meant.
"It's okay, sister-in-law. We live in a society ruled by law now. They dare not act rashly," An Zhixia patted her shoulder comfortingly. "Thank you sister-in-law for supporting me just now."
"What's the big deal?" Mrs. Deng waved her hand and said nonchalantly, the topic still revolving around what she had just said. "Mrs. Fang, I think you should stay at your grandmother's house for the time being, so that no one can take advantage of you. Your child can be temporarily enrolled in another school. It can be done with just a phone call and a letter of introduction."
An Zhixia raised the recorder in her hand and said, "I'm always prepared. If anything happens to me, they can't escape responsibility."
Mrs. Deng disagreed and said, "Their intentions are too obvious. They might create some obstacles. You shouldn't take risks with your child."
An Zhixia smiled and picked up a bag of apples from the kitchen and handed them over.
"No, Captain Fang has already delivered some cakes and candies to every household. We are already feeling guilty, why do we need you to send us another bag of apples?" Mrs. Deng said she wanted nothing.
She had no choice but to take out ten chocolate candies and stuff them in. "Sister-in-law, you have to take these candies. When our TV station was cooperating with an Italian chocolate company, they gave us a lot of chocolate candies. Sister-in-law, take them back and let the children have a taste."
Mrs. Deng really couldn't refuse this time, "This is really a rare item."
She could only thank him and take it home. She chose the time after school and baked a lot of pancakes, a thick plate, enough for the four members of the Fang family.
Chocolate is expensive, especially this brand. One chocolate is about 10 cents, and ten chocolates are 1 yuan. Even so, their family is getting a bargain. Mrs. Deng comforted herself in this way.
Everyone’s cooking tastes different. The steps for making fried dough cakes may seem simple, but each step is different for each person, so the taste is different.
Mrs. Deng put a lot of effort into making the fried cakes. She used Fuqiang flour, sprinkled it with young green onions grown on the windowsill, and used peanut oil distributed during the Chinese New Year. The cakes she made were particularly thick and chewy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
The Fang family's three children enjoyed a delicious meal with the thick millet porridge and crispy pickles.
