Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 73

The next day, Ahu came to take Xue Ling to their neighborhood committee to sign the contract, and also made a copy of the land deed and left it there.

Winter is coming, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

Xue Ling still goes to work every day and works part-time at night, leading a fulfilling and busy life.

Maybe it was because she urged Xiao Jiaxue last time. This time she quickly remitted the money and added a sentence: The better, the better. The director even praised you after seeing it. Come on, old classmate!

On Saturday afternoon, Xue Ling checked the manuscript in advance and then handed it to Editor Lin.

"Sister Lin, let me discuss something with you."

Editor Lin is in his 40s, fair-skinned, a little chubby, and has an amiable smile.

"What's the matter?"

Xue Ling whispered: "I... want to leave early in the afternoon. It's too cold today, and the post office closes half an hour early. I want to go and get something, but I'm afraid it will be too late to get there after get off work, so I want to leave early in the afternoon."

"Okay!" Editor Lin smiled and said, "Your manuscripts are always submitted early. Let's go after lunch break!"

Xue Ling quickly thanked her with a smile and poured her a glass of hot water.

"Thank you, Sister Lin!"

About half of the staff of the newspaper office left early on Saturday afternoon, and the remaining half were colleagues who had to edit manuscripts or send manuscripts to the printing office.

Xue Ling rarely leaves early, so Editor Lin readily agreed.

Some sentences in Wang Qing's manuscript did not make sense, so he had to leave them and continue to revise them.

Xue Ling didn't dare to leave after lunch break and didn't leave until after three o'clock.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the door of the newspaper office, he saw Director Liu and Deputy Director Zhen walking in together.

The two of them went to a meeting, talking in low voices as they walked over.

"The office is too cold, and keeping the doors and windows closed all the time is not good for the health of my colleagues. I just went to ask and found that all key government agencies in the county have started heating. Our newspaper's profit situation is good, and I plan to apply for it next week. Buy some heating facilities and let everyone use them together."

"What about our two offices? We can't live without them, right?"

"Don't worry, the office is also indispensable..."

General Xue Ling moved his face sideways and said hello to them politely.

Director Liu smiled gently and said nothing.

Deputy Director Zhen stared at her, his eyes half-closed while wearing black old-framed glasses.

"Xiao Xue, are you going to leave early?"

Xue Ling cursed secretly, put on a big smile on his face, and explained openly: "Yes, I have already told Sister Lin, and she agreed. I want to go to the post office to pick up something, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get it after get off work. I’m here, so I want to go there in advance.”

She does not belong to the deputy director's jurisdiction, but this deputy director is really amazing!

Master Miejie not only likes to act like her "director", she also likes to meddle in many things that have nothing to do with her, such as now.

Deputy Director Zhen frowned and asked, "Is this an excuse? I need to pick up something from the post office two hours in advance?"

Xue Ling laughed and replied: "There are many people at the post office. I'm afraid I won't be able to get it after waiting too long. This matter is a bit urgent." After hearing this, Director Liu said warmly: "Let's go when the work is done. Anyway, Zhou There’s nothing much going on in the afternoon, and the weather is cold, so it’s best for colleagues to go back early to spend time with their families.”

"Thank you, director!" Xue Ling almost bowed her head and ran outside in a hurry.

As Deputy Director Zhen walked inside, he said to Editor Lin: "You only have a few people under you, so don't relax as soon as Saturday comes. If something goes wrong in the final draft, only someone can deal with it. Don't be careless!"

Editor-in-chief Lin had to respond in a low voice because of her lustful power.

Unexpectedly, she was a person who would not give up until her superiors showed off. She also scolded a few words, saying that Editor Lin was too weak and could not supervise her subordinates.

Editor Lin couldn't bear it anymore and said with a stern face: "Xiao Xue rarely leaves early on Saturdays. She also has to go to the post office because she has something to do. Her manuscript was proofread and submitted in the morning. She has nothing to do here in the afternoon, so I will let her Let’s go. We are all colleagues, I can’t just govern them all, I also have to respect their actual situation, and I can’t make one size fits all!”

The office suddenly became quiet!
Everyone knows that Editor Lin is a colleague who is easy to get along with and has an extremely gentle temper.

If "Master Jiejie" hadn't been too cruel, how could she, an honest sheep, suddenly become furious!
Liu Xing smiled secretly and raised his chin to Wang Qing.

"Look, all the honest people are pissed off..."

Deputy Director Zhen did not expect that Chief Editor Lin would respond to him in public. He couldn't react for a while, and his face turned red and white.

"Have you ever talked to a director like this?! What's your attitude?! Huh?! Don't I respect the actual situation of my colleagues?! Isn't it just for the newspaper?! Which sentence did I say wrong?! Huh? Wan If something went wrong with the manuscript this afternoon, can you take responsibility for it?! If there is a problem with the column that Xue Ling is responsible for, can you take responsibility for her?!"

Her voice was already high-pitched, and she was so angry that the whole office could hear her yelling.

Director Liu, who had just entered the office, thought something had happened and walked out in a hurry: "What's going on? What's the fuss about?"

Deputy Director Zhen stepped forward quickly and explained what had just happened.

Director Liu frowned upon hearing this and glared at her angrily.

"Zhen Zhen, Editor Lin is in charge of Xiao Xue's manuscripts. As long as she says it's okay, don't get involved. Besides, Xiao Xue also has to go to the post office for something. We work at the same time as the post office, and we also have lunch breaks. It’s not open, what time do you want Xiao Xue to pick up the things?”

He said angrily: "You are always serious and responsible for your work, and I think this is very good. But you are always too rigid in doing things and don't know how to advance or retreat. Xiaolin was right just now. We are all colleagues, and occasionally it is convenient for others. , it is convenient for oneself.”

Deputy Director Zhen curled his lips. It was the first time he was lectured by the director in person, and his face turned white and red.

Director Liu continued: "Besides, Xiao Xue is also a family man. As a woman, sometimes she has to take care of her family. You don't have a family, so you don't understand how trivial life can be sometimes. Saturdays in the office are okay. For colleagues who are on vacation and have families, if their work is completed, let them have vacation, and don’t tighten the rules too much.”

Everyone laughed softly.

Zhen Zhen's face was ashen and extremely embarrassed.She is almost 32 years old and has not yet been married. This is her only shortcoming and the thing she is most anxious about right now.

Unexpectedly, the director would say this about herself in public today - causing her to be laughed at by other colleagues!

After all, it was all the fault of that dead girl Xue Ling!

Liu Xing on the side couldn't help but smiled in surprise and asked: "Director, is it true?! We originally had a holiday on Saturday afternoon?"

Director Liu nodded and said, "Yes, provided that all the work is completed."

Liu Xing said "Hey!", clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Awesome!"

Other colleagues also became excited one after another, saying that they must try to finish their work as quickly as possible next week and go home to be with their wives and children.

Xue Ling had already run away and had no idea that there was such a fuss in the office after he left.
