Chapter 208 Distribution Changes
Back to the present, after getting off the car, Gu Mingyue didn't rush to find Xu Xiwen.
She first went to the guesthouse to check in, put her luggage away, got her hair done, and took a shower.
I had a good night's sleep, feeling relaxed, and the next day, I went to Xu's house dressed in new clothes.
Xu Xiwen was very surprised to see her, and shouted excitedly, "Mingyue! Oh my God, why are you here? It's not the day yet."
"I know, it's the day after tomorrow! As a friend, I have to come early to help you celebrate. What's the matter, are you not welcome?"
Xu Xiwen said excitedly, "How could it be? I'm so happy. Oh, I'm so happy. Come on, give me a hug."
After hugging him, Gu Mingyue did not forget to tease, "I thought you were going to have a family soon and you wouldn't like to see a lonely person like me."
Xu Xiwen patted her shyly and said, "I called you poor..."
When the Xu family heard the voices, they came out to greet them warmly.
The Shen family had benefited greatly from the incident at the Japanese base earlier, and the Xu family, which was on good terms with them, was not much behind. The children in the family who were in politics had all made some progress to a certain extent.
However, due to confidentiality regulations, only Xu Kejian and Mr. Xu knew about it.
The other members of the Xu family were so polite this time because they knew about Gu Mingyue's feat in the Beijing Daily. Most importantly, she was appreciated by the top leaders, so their attitude was particularly formal.
If most people treated her as a junior in the past, now she is their peer.
The younger generation in the family were curious and envious. They came into the house, sat upright and listened quietly.
Gu Mingyue was not surprised or flattered. She always understood that one's status is earned by oneself. If others are distant from you, you don't need to care about it. If others value you, you don't have to show it deliberately.
To put it bluntly, people are always realistic. Someone may ignore you today, but they may become your close friends tomorrow. It's all about face. If you take it seriously, you will lose.
Seeing that she handled things with propriety and without arrogance or impatience, Xu Kejian felt sorry for her.
If this child has some ambition, he can guarantee that there will be a place for her in Harbin when he gets promoted in the future.
Even if they don't have it, he can make it happen. By then, even if the Xu family leaves, the tea will not get cold.
Then she thought that if she had agreed to stay, the base might have been a long time coming. It was nothing, it was all fate.
In any case, because of the importance the Shen family and senior leaders attached to her, Xu Kejian secretly decided to consolidate this relationship.
After sitting for a while, Gu Mingyue took the initiative to end the awkward chat. During the key period, she had been in single contact with Xu Xiwen, and she was only a familiar stranger to the Xu family.
To say that the other party values her potential and is willing to make friends with her is narcissistic, but it is more credible and realistic.
But when it came to saying that the Xu family missed her, she had to pretend to be surprised, and she herself felt it was fake.
I quickly found an excuse to go see a friend and managed to get away.
Xu Xiwen walked with her on the road and said awkwardly, "Mingyue, do you think my family is a little... um, too enthusiastic?"
"Don't worry about it. I don't mind. You are you and they are them. I can tell the difference. You don't have to feel embarrassed. I've heard that everyone will become the person they hate the most or reject the most. Right now, you think they are realistic, but be careful that you will become like that in the future."
Xu Xiwen retorted unconvincedly, "I won't. I do whatever I want to do and will never compromise or change for anyone or anything."
Gu Mingyue joked, "What if your man says that it's not good for you to be so willful?"
"Oh, you are getting more and more rude. What do you mean by your man? He is still my fiancé." Xu Xiwen continued after complaining, "If he doesn't like me, I won't live with him. He can't like me like this before marriage and find fault with me after marriage. My mother said that the most taboo thing for us women is to lower our own status. If we compromise once, we will be asked to do something more for the rest of our lives."
Gu Mingyue praised, "Auntie is worthy of being the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. The summary is very insightful. Since you have this kind of awareness, I don't have to worry about you getting wronged when you get married in the future. I hope you will always maintain this straightforwardness, otherwise, I will look down on you."
Xu Xiwen pouted and said, "Humph, I won't give you this chance."
During the break between the two people's playfulness, Gu Mingyue suggested looking for Lu Xue, and the happy atmosphere came to an abrupt end. She frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xiwen sighed, "Even if you didn't come, I would have written to tell you. Xiaoxue and I have decided to be assigned to the Finance Bureau."
Gu Mingyue was puzzled. "Isn't this a good thing? Could it be that someone said you took the back door?"
Xu Xiwen said frankly, "I admit that it has something to do with my father, provided that we have excellent performance. Otherwise, even if my father gives us a backdoor, it will be useless. Many people understand this, and even if they have some complaints, they are just sour words and will not cause any harm. But everything was ruined by stepmother Lu Xue."
"Stepmother? Didn't she and her father have no relationship for a long time?"
Xu Xiwen was furious when she heard this. "That is to say, he can't get any benefits, but he is a drag. I don't know the details, but I heard that there seems to be some unrest in Beijing, and the forces of all parties have been reshuffled. Lu Xue's father was one of those who were liquidated and was sent to the northwest for labor reform."
After listening to it, Gu Mingyue guessed that it was about the base, and then asked, "How is it related to Lu Xue?"
"That woman wanted to divorce and get rid of the relationship, but she made a lot of money over the years, so she can't get rid of it just like that. Although the marriage was divorced and they were spared from being exiled, all their jobs were taken back, and not only that, they also lost their house. Seeing that her family was so unlucky, and hearing about the assignment from somewhere, she went to the school and cried and begged Lu Xue to go to the northwest to take care of her father and fulfill her filial piety..." Xu Xiwen was so angry that her eyes were red when she said this.
Gu Mingyue's expression was stern. "This woman is something. If she makes a scene directly, no one will sympathize with her. But if she puts on the hat of filial piety, I guess there will be many people in the school who support her."
Xu Xiwen gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think I can't see it. Those people are just jealous of Lu Xue and me being assigned to good units. They can't stand seeing others doing well, so they want to muddy the waters and fish in troubled waters. Humph, I told my dad that if Xiaoxue doesn't go, I won't go either. No one else in the school can go."
Gu Mingyue hit her on the forehead. "Are you stupid? You punish yourself with other people's mistakes. It doesn't matter if you vent your anger. There is nothing to be proud of when both sides are hurt. If you have the ability, you can win without bloodshed. If you don't have the ability, just stay still. With your family background, you will be criticized wherever you go. They have the mouths, so let them talk. It won't hurt you. Let me test you. Do you know what I like to do most?"
