That night,
Li Chuchu finally had the best sleep in days.
The next morning,
when she woke up, she was refreshed, with fair and rosy skin.
In contrast,
Shen Yanshan's delicate eyebrows and facial features were still as perfect as ever, but there were dark circles under his eyelids. His aura had turned gloomy and melancholy. When he looked at Li Chuchu, there was an air of hesitation. His eyes were full of unwillingness and despair. One could already faintly detect the prototype of a resentful ghost in him.
Seeing Li Chuchu turn around and snicker, Shen Yanshan gritted his back teeth.
"You just wait."
He had thought about it all night.
He had considered every possible way and finally came up with the idea of buying imported contraceptives from abroad.
He had never been in this business before and had no such needs, so he knew very little about it. However, this was seriously affecting his sex life now. Even if he had to go out and look for them himself, he was determined to get a batch.
He would start to find out the sources in the next few days and see where he could get them.
He had just started his married life, and his beautiful wife was in his arms every night,
but he couldn't do anything.
If this continued,
even a monk would not be able to bear it.
Shen Yanshan decided that this was the most urgent matter at the moment.
...
After breakfast,
Li Chuchu went to work.
The Mid - Autumn Festival Gala was just a few days away. There were a lot of trivial matters regarding the venue and personnel, all of which needed to be communicated and arranged with the Art and Propaganda Team.
Before Li Chuchu could go to them,
Liang Qiushi, the leader of the Art and Propaganda Team, came to find her early in the morning. "There's an unexpected situation. This year, the Lotus Steel Factory has reached a cooperation with a foreign company. There may be foreign media coming to interview during the Mid - Autumn Festival Gala. You need to prepare for the interview."
Foreign media coming to the Lotus Factory?
Most of these foreign media looked down on their country with a condescending attitude. Thinking that those arrogant foreigners were coming to interview them and that she had to be extremely careful in her words, Li Chuchu couldn't help but feel a headache.
Seeing that Li Chuchu seemed a bit absent - minded, Liang Qiushi thought she lacked confidence and comforted her, "But you don't need to be too nervous. Generally, we will discuss the questions with the foreign journalists in advance. You just need to answer according to the standard answers we've prepared."
Li Chuchu nodded. "Okay, I understand."
Liang Qiushi was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Also, the tools needed for the competition program have been borrowed from the warehouse for you. See if you need anything else. I'll prepare them together."
"Not for the moment. Thank you."
Hearing Li Chuchu's thanks, he showed a simple smile on his face. His eyes behind the thick glasses squinted slightly, and there were a few wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. "You're welcome. It's my duty. If you have any problems, you can always come to me."
I have to say,
after several interactions, Li Chuchu found that Liang Qiushi was really a kind - hearted person. He helped her with everything she mentioned casually and even things she hadn't thought of. No wonder Zhu Yuxi had dared to make such a fuss before. It turned out that their team leader was so easy - going.
What Li Chuchu didn't expect was that there were about a hundred people who signed up for the competition program she organized. They were of all ages, and no one was willing to yield to others. Everyone was eager to have a try and was waiting to show their skills on the Mid - Autumn Festival night.
On average, there were about thirty people in each competition.
When the factory director got the list of the program, he specifically praised this program and even paid out of his own pocket for the prize money of the competition.
As soon as this news came out,
it directly boosted everyone's enthusiasm for the competition to the highest level.
...
After hearing the news, Zhu Yuxi was so angry that her head was about to explode. She gritted her teeth in jealousy. "I really don't know what's so interesting about this program. Haven't they seen enough of screwing nuts at their workstations on weekdays? They're really a bunch of ignorant people. And what's the use of the prize money? Even if they're excited, it won't be their turn to get it."
That Li Chuchu was really lucky. She got all the good things!
If this continued,
she would steal all the limelight. Wouldn't Brother Junsheng value her even more?
She didn't believe it.
She couldn't let Li Chuchu be so proud.
Moreover, she had found out from others in the past few days that Li Chuchu was already married, and her husband was not a worker in their factory. No wonder she hadn't heard about it before. She guessed that Li Chuchu's husband was not presentable enough, so she was too embarrassed to mention it and was trying to find a better match.
She was already married but still had an ambiguous relationship with Brother Junsheng. Brother Junsheng must be blind.
Just as Zhu Yuxi was getting angry,
a little girl from the propaganda team came up to her obsequiously. "Sister Yuxi, I heard that there will be foreign media coming to our factory for an interview during the Mid - Autumn Festival this year."
"Who did you hear it from?"
"Our team leader, Liang Qiushi. What the team leader said must be right. And he's going to send one of us to communicate with the foreign journalists and discuss the interview content for the Mid - Autumn Festival Gala."
"Only our factory is so grand that even foreigners come for an interview. I heard that after the foreign journalists finish the interview, the photos they take will be published in foreign newspapers."
Zhu Yuxi's heart skipped a beat.
She had heard that the photos taken by foreign cameras were in color and the images were very clear. Their team had also prepared some singing and dancing programs. Maybe they could get the foreign journalists to take a photo of them and publish it in the newspaper.
At the thought of this,
Zhu Yuxi smelled an opportunity to outshine Li Chuchu.
She walked up to Liang Qiushi.
"Team leader, I heard that you're going to send someone to communicate with the foreign journalists. I think I'm capable of this job. Let me go!"
Liang Qiushi looked at her with a skeptical look in his eyes.
Thinking of what she had done before, which had damaged the unity between the propaganda team and the hosts, Liang Qiushi, who was usually a kind - hearted person, rarely refused her. "No, I've already chosen someone else for this task."
Zhu Yuxi got anxious immediately.
What did the others know?
Could they know how to get along well with the foreign journalists?
Could they get the foreign journalists to publish the photos of their programs?
She didn't hesitate to humble herself and pleaded, "Team leader, I was wrong about what happened before. On the one hand, I wanted to help our propaganda team with some work. On the other hand, I also wanted to make up for my previous mistakes. Team leader, you should give people a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Liang Qiushi was a simple - minded person and couldn't figure out all her complicated thoughts.
Seeing Zhu Yuxi's sincere expression and her pleading words,
he finally couldn't resist her and gave in.
"Okay, you can go. There will be a translator from the Foreign Affairs Section to go with you to receive the foreign journalists. You must keep a good record throughout the process and can't make any mistakes."
Zhu Yuxi was extremely excited.
She couldn't wait to jump three feet high.
"Thank you, team leader! I guarantee that I'll complete the task."
This time, even if she couldn't outperform Li Chuchu in terms of the program format, she would find a way to make her name known far and wide. She would let Brother Junsheng see that she was more capable than that Li Chuchu!
Liang Qiushi's glasses were almost knocked off by her hand. He helplessly adjusted his glasses and sighed. "Do a good job. You mustn't make any mistakes."
