It was rare for Wu Xia to see Editor Ding so excited, so she quickly asked: "Is someone selling the qualifications to buy a house?"
For her, this matter was the most exciting. No wonder Editor Ding found it so quickly!
"It's not that." Ding Wenmin said with a smile: "The news this time is much more important than the qualifications to buy a house."
"Oh?" Wu Xia really couldn't think of any other good news.
Ding Wenmin said while riding his bike: "You have made great contributions to the Pingcheng Cultural Bureau this time, so the deputy bureau plans to reward you."
After finishing speaking, he looked back at Wu Xia and asked curiously: "I heard from reporters this morning that they received an interview notice, saying that an investment group is preparing to invest in building cultural industries here. They said they were the investors you contacted."
"How did you do it?" Ding Wenmin was a little excited. If he could attract investment, he could directly join the official staff of the Investment Promotion Bureau. If he had known that Wu Xia had this ability, there would be no need to stay in the Cultural Bureau.
Wu Xia didn't expect that Mr. Lu would actually invest in Pingcheng as promised. She smiled and said, "I don't know, maybe it's because we are more compatible?"
Ding Wenmin saw that Wu Xia couldn't explain the reason, so he continued: "The day after tomorrow, our Pingcheng Cultural System will go to the province's military condolences. This job is relatively easy and can be outstanding. The deputy director wants you to participate, as long as If you complete the task, you can end the internship period early.”
"Really?" Wu Xia asked in surprise.
This is indeed good news. Although it is said that you can join the workforce after getting your degree, it is more reassuring to go in first, just in case anything happens.
Seeing her happy look, Ding Wenmin added, "I will help you this time. Our newspaper will send me and a reporter there to let you show more of your face."
"Great!" Wu Xia laughed happily.
"To celebrate, you treat me to breakfast?"
Wu Xia nodded and said, "It should be."
This is a Cantonese-style breakfast shop. There were not many people inside. After the two of them ordered, the food was served quickly.
Editor Ding said to Wu Xia: "The glutinous rice siomai here tastes good. Would you like to try it?"
Wu Xia picked one up with chopsticks and it tasted really good. She was very satisfied with it.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Ding Wenmin said to Wu Xia: "Wu Xia, I want to ask you for help with something."
"What's the matter?" Editor Ding had helped him so much, and Wu Xia hoped that he could repay him a little.
"My parents are arriving in Pingcheng this afternoon. Can you accompany me to meet them?" Ding Wenmin had a shy smile on his face.
His family has been urging him to get married, but in the past few years, he has not wanted to get married. His parents are anxious for him to go home and have a blind date.
Ding Wenmin was so scared that he didn't dare to go back recently. Unexpectedly, someone came from his hometown yesterday and told him that his parents had already boarded the car and would arrive in Pingcheng tonight.
After much thought, he thought of Wu Xia and planned to use this opportunity to let his parents meet Wu Xia.
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Xia choked on the siomai.
"Cough cough cough!"
Ding Wenmin quickly poured water for her and helped her hold her back. It took several minutes for Wu Xia to recover.
"Editor Ding, do you want me to accompany you to meet your parents?"
Wouldn't this be bad? After all, the relationship between the two is now...
Wu Xia was afraid that he had misunderstood what Editor Ding meant, so he confirmed with him.
"Well, I don't have any female friends here, so I want you to go shopping with my mother. I want to buy her some clothes for the New Year."
Hearing what he said, Wu Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he had misunderstood.
Just when she was about to agree, she heard Xu Guoping's voice.
"It's not easy to be a writer for Editor Ding. I stay up late every day to catch up on manuscripts. When I finally get some rest, I have to accompany me to meet my family. Those who don't know think that my wife has become yours."
The two of them looked back and saw that Xu Guoping had brought Mengmeng over for breakfast.
He strode over. His tall figure was slightly larger than Editor Ding, which gave him an indescribable sense of oppression and made him somewhat uncomfortable.
"Uncle, will you have breakfast with us?" Mengmeng ran to Wu Xia, and Yanran looked at Ding Wenmin like a family of three.
Mengmeng's words diluted the sense of oppression brought by Xu Guoping, but they also made Ding Wenmin feel even more uncomfortable.
He stood up and looked at Xu Guoping and said, "Captain Xu is wrong. You and Wu Xia have divorced. Now you shout like this every day, which is disrespectful to Wu Xia."
Xu Guoping didn't answer his words, and there was a sudden anger in his eyes that made people feel chilly just looking at him: "Editor Ding, my divorce application with Wu Xia has not been approved by the army yet, but you are looking forward to my divorce with her every day. What’s the intention?”
Wu Xia slapped the table: "Editor Ding just asked me to accompany his mother to choose clothes. Why are you involved here?"
"I'm divorced. Whoever I associate with needs your approval?"
The sarcasm in her words made Xu Guoping feel very uncomfortable. He clearly didn't mean it this way. He and Xia Xia were about to reconcile, so why did he let himself get screwed up again?
Xu Guoping lowered his head, and after a long time, he called her in a low voice with a hint of begging for mercy: "Xia Xia..."
Wu Xia ignored him. Ding Wenmin poured a glass of water for Wu Xia: "Don't be angry. If it's inconvenient, don't go."
"Why don't you go?" Wu Xia glared at Ding Wenmin: "I feel guilty if I don't go."
Ding Wenmin: ...I don’t seem to feel happy when you say that.
"Wu Xia, don't talk about this. Let's eat first. If we don't eat, it will be cold." Ding Wenmin advised.
"Mom, I want to eat too." Mengmeng reached out to pull Wu Xia's sleeve.
No matter how angry she was with Xu Guoping, Wu Xia still loved the sensible Mengmeng and said to her: "Mengmeng sit next to mom, and I will get you a shaomai to eat."
Mengmeng took a bite and shouted: "It's so delicious. Mommy, can you let my brother come over and eat too?"
Only then did Wu Xia notice Xu Bing standing at the door. When he saw Wu Xia, he lowered his head in shame.
"Xu Bing, come here too." Wu Xia remembered that Xu Guoping said that Xu Bing was hospitalized, and was afraid that the knot in the child's heart would not be untied, so she waved to him.
"Mom." Xu Bing couldn't help crying when he saw that Wu Xia was still willing to let him go. Mengmeng also pursed her lips when she saw her brother crying.
"Brother, don't cry. My brother cried, and Mengmeng felt uncomfortable." Seeing that he had made his sister cry, Xu Bing quickly wiped his tears and showed an ugly smile.
Seeing that her brother had stopped crying, Mengmeng smiled and said, "Brother is so ugly."
Wu Xia looked at him and said, "Come and eat. If you don't eat my sister, it won't taste good."
Seeing what Wu Xia said, Xu Bing sat down at the table excitedly, his hands holding chopsticks trembling. He didn't expect that his mother would be willing to forgive him for having done so many wrong things.
"Mom, I will honor you well in the future!" Xu Bing swore in his heart.
"Would you like me to come over and hang out with you?" Xu Guoping squeezed over unceremoniously with his long legs.
