"What?"
Wu Xia had never thought about leaving the compound before. Firstly, she wanted to live a good life with Xu Guoping, and secondly, she couldn't bear to leave Mengmeng and the military wives in the compound.
But when she thought of Xu Guoping's decisive departure that day, her heart was shaken.
He wanted to divorce himself. In the past, she had no place to go and no money in her hands, but it was different now.
Let's not talk about how she can support herself through the royalties. Let's just say that if this trip goes well, she can also make some money. Apart from the raw material fees and the money given to the military wives, it will be enough for her to rent a house.
And now many units are building their own houses. If she can get a quota, she may have her own house.
The house has always been Wu Xia's obsession. He paid a down payment before moving in, but he ended up here without enjoying anything.
This time, she wanted to buy a house of her own!
As for Mengmeng, Wu Xia rolled her eyes. Can children decide who to live with in a divorce?
It would be even more perfect if Mengmeng was invited to come over. As for the military wives, they can still be contacted even after leaving the compound, so the problem is solved.
Wu Xia: "Editor Ding, what do you think I can do in Pingcheng?"
"If you are willing, I can help you. But there is one thing. Your academic qualifications are not enough. After you come here, you will have to go to night school to study, and you will have to go to a college. Are you confident?"
Studying is quite hard, and I don’t know if Wu Xia is willing to do it.
When he said it just now, he felt that he was a little impulsive. Now that he saw Wu Xia, he was also eager to give it a try. Ding Wenmin told her his plan.
"Now the Cultural Bureau of Pingcheng City wants to introduce a group of talents who can do things. There should be no problem with your writing skills. I can recommend you. The only academic qualification you lack is that as long as you can get a college diploma, you can become a regular employee smoothly. And over there I’m not too busy at work, and I can still write articles in the newspaper office in my free time..."
After talking about the benefits for a long time, Ding Wenmin added: "However, if you come to Pingcheng, I'm afraid you will have to live separately from your husband."
He saw that Wu Xia didn't speak. Wu Xia was reluctant to leave in the future, so he stopped and let her think about it slowly.
Wu Xia was knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky.
Pingcheng Cultural Bureau!
This is a serious preparation!
Thinking about the army of candidates who take exams every year, she can get the papers without taking any exams. Isn't she dreaming?
If she could really go, she would be able to wake up laughing even in her dreams. Not to mention, in her previous life, she would have to sit at the first table when she returned home during the Chinese New Year.
Hey hey hey~
Wu Xia couldn't help but laughed out loud: "Editor Ding, can I really do it?"
Ding Wenmin rolled his eyes: "Comrade Wu Xia, your next step is probably to be our columnist. Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Wu Xia was so excited that she directly held Ding Wenmin's hand: "Editor Ding, I am willing to go to the Cultural Bureau. Please help me to make sure the organization accepts me! I am willing to work overtime, 996 is available!"
"What 996?" Ding Wenmin held his glasses legs with his slender fingers and looked at Wu Xia with some confusion.
Only then did Wu Xia realize that he had accidentally spilled the beans and directly said what he said in his previous life.
"Well, what I mean is that I am willing to work overtime and contribute to Pingcheng's cultural undertakings." Wu Xia expressed his loyalty directly.
He was afraid that Ding Wenmin wouldn't recommend it to him, so he almost put the words "useful social animal" on his face.
"Hahaha!" Ding Wenmin laughed again. People in the newspaper commented that he was a bit melancholy, but after being with Wu Xia, he didn't know how many times he laughed today.
"Wu Xia, the job at the Cultural Bureau is not as scary as you think. Although the new comrades will be a little busier when they arrive, they will get off work on time most of the time and will not delay your study at night school.
Speaking of this, Ding Wenmin remembered one more thing.
"One thing I have to say in advance is that their wages are very low, much lower than factory workers, and there are no additional bonuses. School graduates rush to go to factories as soon as they graduate, so they are so short of people.
But this is not a big problem for you, after all, you still have royalties. "
"I am willing, this little money is nothing." Wu Xia said.
"Furthermore, Xu Guoping and I are divorced and the procedures are in progress, so I have to ask you to contact me as soon as possible, otherwise I will be homeless."
"Hahaha!" Ding Wenmin laughed again.
"Okay, I understand. I'll do it when I get back from the business trip. I won't make you homeless."
Ding Wenmin and Wu Xia were chatting and looking at the scenery here, while Xu Guoping was sweating from work over there.
He got on the bus to Pingcheng early in the morning. When he arrived in Pingcheng, he went to the train station without even bothering to eat.
"Comrade, is there the fastest way to Fenhe?" Xu Guoping went to the Yongjun window and came to the ticket office without queuing.
He had already read the train timetable just now. If nothing else happened, Wu Xia should have taken the train to Syracuse this morning.
If he wanted to catch up with her, he would have to change to an express train. He would have to trouble the conductor on how to plan the route.
When the conductor saw Xu Guoping's military ID card, he thought he had an urgent mission and quickly thought of a solution for him.
"Comrade, it is easiest to take the bus from here to Fenhe and transfer in Xuecheng. If you are in a hurry, you can take this bus, and then get off at the terminal and transfer to the passenger bus to Shangzhi City. You can catch the train after you arrive. Go to Syracuse.”
Xu Guoping looked at the train diagram handed over by the conductor. He calculated in his mind that if the train was not delayed, he should arrive in Syracuse a few hours earlier than Wu Xia.
"Then you can help me buy a ticket for this train." Xu Guoping said to the conductor.
"Okay. But this train only has no-seat tickets. The direct train ticket to Syracuse has seats. Which one do you want to choose?"
In the opinion of the conductor, buying a seatless ticket just to arrive in Syracuse a few hours in advance was too much trouble and not worth it, so she kindly suggested to Xu Guoping.
It is indeed a lot harder to walk this way, but when he entered the train station just now, Xu Guoping saw thieves blatantly stealing people's wallets, and some hooligans trying to molest women. He stepped forward and drove them away, but he I was sweating for Wu Xia in my heart.
How could this woman be so bold and leave without saying a word!
Even if he wants to divorce her, if she encounters difficulties, she can still ask him for help.
Xu Guoping clenched his fists when he thought that Wu Xia might have her wallet stolen by a thief, and that she might be so hungry that she might not be able to eat in any corner of the train.
He said to the conductor: "If you don't have a seat, you won't have a seat. It doesn't matter, as long as you can get there quickly. Comrade, please give me a ticket to Shangzhi!"
