Mr. John’s team had just started their half-hour shift at the bus company when Hu Biao brought a man and a woman to the office. Fu ili, who was listening to the music in the office, hurriedly ca out, pausing in shock for quite a while.
In front of Shen ng, one was holding a cara, while the other was recording in a notebook; both individuals wore badges around their necks. Her heart "thumped" nervously.
Seeing her approaching, Hu Biao quickly reached out and pulled her back.
"Director Fu, keep your voice down. The journalists are conducting an interview; let’s not disturb them."
"What, did Xiao Shen find lost money, bravely save soone, or help an old lady cross the street? Why are reporters suddenly here to interview her?"
Hu Biao gave her a look, laden with multiple anings. Fu ili felt like Hu Biao was looking down on her, thinking she wasn’t a good leader, not even aware of her own workers’ situations.
"Let tell you about Sister ng... never mind, just wait for the newspaper. I guarantee it’ll surprise you. Director Fu, having Sister ng work at the bus company is indeed a blessing for you all. I wonder if she’ll take your bus company along with her, soon the entire Provincial City will know there’s a talented person at your bus company."
Fu ili’s eyes lit up, regardless of what Shen ng had done, as long as it was sothing positive and vibrant, and it would bring the bus company into the lilight, the higher-ups would definitely praise her work ethic. Now, she even moved forward a few steps, less concerned about Hu Biao before her.
Not just Fu ili was surprised; everyone in the office was astonished to see Shen ng being interviewed after rely selling a round of bus tickets. Mr. John had brought these individuals along, and the journalist and photographer didn’t even ask Shen ng to stand up—they just started the interview, both seemingly inspired by her presence; the journalist’s pen nearly breaking from how fast he was writing.
"The power of an individual is insignificant, it’s all about unifying all the forces we can to unleash their greatest value. The potential of our working people is limitless; they can not only grow food to fill their stomachs but also create colorful products that will amaze the world."
"Comrade Shen ng, what you said is wonderful. I didn’t expect our provincial city to have such incredible talent like you. This interview is truly fascinating. I’d love to learn more of your stories and maybe visit your hotown to see the current scale of Xiangyang Head Flower Factory and the styles of the head flowers?"
Shen ng could handle the lilight, but the idea of visiting her hotown entailed interviewing her family mbers, both from her husband’s side and her own, which could lead to unpredictable outcos especially with so contentious villagers.
She didn’t want the first line in the newspapers about her to be sothing like, "Dear public friends, did you know that she used to be sharp-tongued, disrespectful to her in-laws, fond of small gains, and now she has beco a role model of the Provincial City, helped the county and the commune earn forty thousand in foreign exchange, what changed her so much..."
"Journalist, that might not work. Our Xiangyang Head Flower Factory is not yet operational, currently, our workers are rushing to complete Mr. John’s orders. Today’s interview is rely ant to promote our Xiangyang Commune and Ning County. Compared to my contributions, Mr. Li from the County Committee deserves more praise and an interview. He, along with Ning County’s Textile Factory and the chanical Factory in Provincial City, are the crucial backbones that secured this order. Without them, even if I were to praise our products to Mr. John, it wouldn’t be valid. Once again, the strength of an individual is negligible, my personal growth and experiences are not significant. What matters is the outco we achieve. If you have ti, I would kindly ask you to visit the Head Flower Factory’s director. She is a woman who recently finished her confinent period, managing to beco the director of the Head Flower Factory. Since you, as a journalist, are also a woman, we should focus more on the strength of won."
The journalist was montarily surprised, then looked deeply at Shen ng. Yes, focus on the power of won; although the newspaper had sections on won, content sotis gets cut or reduced due to other facts.
She was genuinely surprised; Comrade Shen ng had such far-reaching thoughts.
"It’s my oversight, Comrade Shen. I’m really happy to have t you. When you visit Provincial City, please co to Guangming Newspaper; I’ll treat you to coffee."
"Absolutely, now we are friends. Comrade Fang Yan, since we are friends, I have a humble request. Could you include one more sentence in the interview?"
"What is it?"
Shen ng hesitated, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Actually, aside from the Head Flower Factory, our Xiangyang Commune also started a food workshop, in collaboration with our county’s food factory. The intention was also to provide additional inco to our commune mbers. We already have finished products; later, if you and your colleagues have ti, you could visit our food factory with Mr. Hu Biao and see for yourself. Comrade Fang Yan, although Ning County is still impoverished, it is striving to develop and use its resources to sustain its people. As soone born and raised here, I hope to introduce it to more people, to show that Ning County is brimming with vitality. Please give Ning County more opportunities."
Fang Yan looked at this infinitely loving woman—in both the interview and her request, everything was for Ning County and to manifest its limited resources. Once she returned to the Provincial City, she must report thoroughly to her leaders and strive to secure recognition for Shen ng.
Mr. Hu Biao, moved to tears, thought not only about his wife but also his father-in-law and their textile factory, specifically requesting the journalist to visit the food factory. His na would surely be ntioned in the newspapers too.
Sister ng was indeed Sister ng, always considering her family in everything she did.
Fu ili, watching anxiously from the sidelines, wondered why the bus company hadn’t been ntioned yet. Both the journalist and the photographer seed to have overlooked such a big sign!
After Mr. Hu Biao and his team left, those in the office imdiately gathered around. Without waiting for others to speak, Fu ili directly approached Shen ng and spoke unhappily: "Shen ng, I’ve been trying to catch your eye several tis. Why didn’t you see? It was a great opportunity; the journalists from the Provincial City were here. Why didn’t you ntion our bus company at all? You work in our unit but only cared about your Xiangyang Commune. If the commune is so great, why don’t you stay there and earn work points?"
