She was so angry that she blurted out without thinking and shrieked, "Li Chuchu, do you really think you can be a broadcaster looking like this? You're a motherless thing. Don't you even know your own place?"
Li Chuchu originally didn't want to entangle with her, but now she was actually amused by this remark. She didn't mince her words and retorted directly,
"Who do you think you are? Your words are more pungent than farts. You bare your teeth at everyone and bark everywhere. When your mom takes you out, people must ask her why she doesn't put a leash on her dog. You have no princess status but all the princess quirks. You're really annoying wherever you go."
Li Chuchu was not one to take a beating.
If you endure for a while, the more you think about it, the angrier you get. If you take a step back, you'll get breast nodules.
There was a burst of laughter from the onlookers.
They could tell that it was the other girl who had picked the fight first. This girl was quick - witted and her retort was spot - on! Not a single dirty word, but she had scolded the other girl thoroughly.
Su Huan's chest heaved violently. She was itching to fight Li Chuchu on the spot.
Unfortunately, the passers - by didn't give her the chance.
They kindly reminded her, "Little girl, are you mistaken? This girl is already a broadcaster in our radio studio."
"Her?!"
Su Huan visibly stiffened and turned ninety degrees. Her fingers trembled slightly as she pointed at Li Chuchu. Her voice went up several octaves, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Her?
How could she?
The people around burst into louder laughter.
This girl had been working as a broadcaster here for a month. This person couldn't even pick a fight properly and was still trying to mock others.
Li Chuchu had no interest in watching Su Huan's jealous and distorted face. She turned around and left.
Su Huan glared at her hatefully but couldn't do anything to her for the moment.
Reluctantly, Su Huan had to follow Li Chuchu to the radio studio.
At the entrance,
Su Huan took a peek inside. There was Li Chuchu and an old woman. She guessed they were probably not the person in charge. She bit her lower lip, didn't greet anyone, and just found a nearby seat to sit down.
Li Chuchu was called over by Teacher Xie.
The lenses of Teacher Xie's glasses glinted slightly. Her sharp eyes behind the glasses scanned Li Chuchu a few times, then she lowered her head and continued to explain the materials to be prepared. "Tomorrow you'll follow me and mainly learn. This is a rare opportunity. Ask less and watch more."
Teacher Xie didn't like students who asked too many questions. She preferred smart kids who could understand things quickly and didn't need much explanation.
Li Chuchu had already figured this out, so she was always careful and never relaxed when she was around Teacher Xie.
"Okay, teacher, I understand."
After understanding, Li Chuchu began to read the materials seriously.
These materials involved English. Teacher Xie probably was afraid she couldn't understand, so she didn't ask her to read this part.
After all, in this era, only a handful of people could speak English.
But English was not a difficult thing for Li Chuchu.
In the past, her family had specially invited teachers to teach her French, English, and even Russian. She had also won the first prize in an international English competition.
Su Huan was sitting beside her and was unexpectedly quiet. However, Li Chuchu noticed that her restless eyes would glance at her from time to time. She guessed that Su Huan must be plotting something in her mind again.
A sneer curled up on Li Chuchu's lips.
With her stupid and malicious mind, she couldn't stir up much trouble.
Li Chuchu didn't take Su Huan seriously at all. She was just waiting to see what kind of pit Su Huan was going to dig for her.
The workers got off work at twelve o'clock. After that, there would be a radio broadcast for a while. It would be about one o'clock when the broadcast ended.
Senior Sister Mu Wan came soon.
She put down her bag. Seeing a new person in the radio studio, she gave Li Chuchu a surprised look: What's going on?
"Senior sister, this is the new broadcaster who came this morning."
As soon as Su Huan heard Li Chuchu call her senior sister, she immediately stepped forward with a flattering smile. "Hello, senior sister! I'm Su Huan, the new broadcaster. I went to find the factory director this morning, and he told me to come here to report."
She was so enthusiastic that she held Mu Wan's hand tightly.
Mu Wan nodded awkwardly and subtly pulled her hand back. "Okay, read an article first. I'll see your level."
After hearing this, Su Huan gave Li Chuchu a smug look.
Li Chuchu didn't know what there was to show off about. She ignored Su Huan and said to her senior sister, "Senior sister, I'll leave first."
Mu Wan turned to look at Li Chuchu. "Okay, you can go first. Be careful on the way."
As soon as Su Huan saw Mu Wan talking to Li Chuchu, she quickly grabbed Mu Wan's arm to draw her attention back. "Sister, sister, how do you read this? I'm not sure. Can you teach me?"
She blinked her eyes and pretended to be pitiful.
When Li Chuchu left, she caught a glimpse of Su Huan's behavior.
It was the same trick she often used in school.
She would form a clique and isolate the original owner. Until the original owner couldn't bear the ridicule and gossip from others and begged her, then she would show a proud attitude and give her a bit of attention.
But unfortunately,
This was the workplace.
She really hoped that her kindergarten tricks would still work.
A smile played on Li Chuchu's lips.
...
In a private room of the Kaiyue Hotel,
Shen Yanshan was sitting at the table, with several bottles of Moutai beside him. Opposite him sat a middle - aged man in a cadre's uniform.
The middle - aged man had sharp eyes. He looked at Shen Yanshan with a scrutinizing look. "You're the one who wants to see me?"
People in the officialdom were more perceptive than ordinary people.
The young man opposite was wearing a simple white shirt. It was impossible to tell what brand it was. This meant that the other party didn't want others to know his identity.
Thinking of this, Section Chief Hu's eyes darkened.
This young man had deliberately created all kinds of coincidences in the past few days to meet him. He didn't know what he was up to.
Shen Yanshan opened a bottle of Moutai and filled his glass. He said casually, "I brought two bottles of good wine from home. It would be a waste to keep them with me. I wanted to invite someone who knows about wine to have a taste."
Section Chief Hu held up his hand in front of the table and stopped him from pouring. "I don't drink. If there's no real business, I'll leave. I'm busy."
The refusal was very clear.
Shen Yanshan smiled.
"Section Chief Hu is always busy. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush."
There was a smile on Shen Yanshan's face, but it looked so fake. "I heard... that the validity period of the iron and steel approval document in Section Chief Hu's hand is almost up."
He deliberately dragged out the tone, making his meaning more ambiguous.
Section Chief Hu's face changed. He was about to fly into a rage. "Where did you hear this nonsense? It's ridiculous!"
That approval document was obtained through some connections with higher - ups for his nephew. But his nephew died in a car accident last month. So the matter of the approval document was dropped.
Now the approval document would expire in about ten days. This matter was supposed to be buried with his nephew's death, but unexpectedly, it had been dug out by someone with ulterior motives.
Section Chief Hu was furious. He picked up his bag and was about to leave.
