My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 169, does your newspaper dare to publish it?
Chapter 169: 169, does your newspaper dare to publish it?
Lin Tang was unaware of the turmoil in the man’s heart, for it was her turn now.
She first helped an elderly military spouse to mail a letter.
Lin Tang explained to the operator that she needed to make a call.
A young and beautiful operator with a pleasant voice dialed the number for her.
After a short wait, a voice came through the handset.
"Hello, this is the Xiangyang Newspaper," a clear male voice answered from the other end.
The voice sounded very young and particularly spirited.
"Hello, I am Lin Tang from the Shuangshan Brigade. I had submitted a manuscript to your newspaper before. Do you remember?" Lin Tang got straight to the point.
The person on the other end of the line was Wan Xinxue.
Ever since the latest issue of the newspaper had sold well, he walked with an air of confidence.
Even the tedious task of reviewing manuscripts had become enjoyable.
In his eyes, Lin Tang’s name was surrounded by a halo, sparkling and shining.
Upon hearing the self-introduction on the phone, Wan Xinxue’s eyes sparkled instantly. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Yes, yes, yes, I have a very strong impression of you..." His voice was thick with delight.
As the two on the phone exchanged these words, the operator who was about to return to her position stopped in her tracks, stunned.
This is Comrade Lin Tang who had an article in the newspaper?
So young, probably still a student?
Settling back into her position, the female operator occasionally glanced up at Lin Tang.
Her colleagues thought she knew the comrade who was on the phone.
They nudged her elbow.
"What’s the matter? Someone you know?"
The female operator snapped out of it, whispering to her colleague, "That young comrade is Lin Tang."
After a pause, she added, "The one in the newspaper!"
They worked in information services, reading the newspaper and listening to news every day.
Someone from the Red Star Commune having their article published in the newspaper was a big deal.
Not just the Post Office staff, but nearly everyone in the county knew about it.
These past few days, this had become quite the hot topic in the county.
"What? That young girl is Lin Tang from the Shuangshan Brigade?" The person’s eyes brightened with curiosity, peering at Lin Tang.
They wanted to see what the celebrity looked like.
The female operator tugged at her colleague, advising in a low voice:
"Don’t stare so blatantly, it’s making the young girl uncomfortable! She’s at work now."
If the director saw this, they would be scolded.
Upon hearing this, the other operator curious about Lin Tang’s appearance averted her gaze.
"Fine, I won’t look anymore. It’s not every day you get to see a celebrity," she said with a hint of regret.
After speaking, she quieted her mind and focused on her work.
Lin Tang didn’t know that she had become a celebrity in the eyes of the Post Office operators.
She had just started discussing the main matter with Wan Xinxue on the other end of the phone.
"Editor Wan, I do have another manuscript in hand, but I have some concerns I wanted to ask about in advance..."
Wan Xinxue put down the pen in his hand, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
"Comrade Lin, what would you like to ask?"
The way the question was asked, was there another big scoop in the making?
Wasn’t busting the human trafficking ring enough?
What was this stimulating development about...
After a moment’s contemplation, Lin Tang spoke softly, "Would your newspaper dare to report on someone treating university admission notices as items for trade?"
University admission notices traded as goods?
Wan Xinxue was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, banging his leg on the chair.
Every word of that sentence was familiar to him, but he could hardly believe it when put together.
"Are you serious?" Wan Xinxue raised his voice unintentionally, then forcefully subdued it, fearing being overheard.
His voice sounded somewhat peculiar.
Lin Tang didn’t mind, her tone growing even more serious.
"I’m the person whose notice was withheld. I have evidence and would not joke about such a matter."
In the era of print media, the influence of newspapers was self-evident.
The only uncertainty Lin Tang had was whether the Xiangyang Newspaper would be intimidated by the connections of those behind the scenes.
If that were the case, she would make a trip to Jing City.
With that in mind, Lin Tang looked towards Gu Yingzhou who was not far away.
The man was mailing something.
Standing in front of the counter, his figure was trim and his profile handsome, a rare and exceptional sight.
As if sensing something, Gu Yingzhou turned and looked back.
His deep eyes met Lin Tang’s bright ones.
The man paused for a moment before his lips curved slightly into a smile.
Lin Tang returned the smile.
Her pretty face bloomed like a begonia, vibrant and captivating.
It was as if she had heard a satisfying answer, her smile growing even more radiant.
"Great, I have the manuscript right here and will send it out immediately. Thank you for your trouble."
Having the support of the newspaper was a relief.
Listening to the light laughter on the phone, Wan Xinxue smiled too.
"You’re welcome."
If this story broke...tch.
But.
Whether it could be published was not entirely certain.
A 70 to 80 percent chance, perhaps!
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tang took out the manuscript from her bag and mailed it.
As the staff took the letter, she felt a sense of calm.
Now all that was left was to wait for the outcome.
If all went well, it would be even better if it attracted the attention of an investigative team.
Having mailed the letter, Lin Tang walked out of the Post Office.
As she reached the door, she caught sight of the two operators pointing at her and seemingly discussing something.
Lin Tang looked at them with confusion.
The two operators quickly averted their eyes, pretending to be busy.
Lin Tang: "??"
Unsure of what was happening, she withdrew her gaze and left the Post Office.
Then, she headed home with a light step.
After mailing his item, Gu Yingzhou also left the Post Office and saw the girl’s buoyant figure walking away.
He had served in the military and had much keener hearing than the average person.
Even without intending to eavesdrop, he had heard Lin Tang’s conversation.
Reflecting on what the young girl had said, the man’s eyes suddenly darkened.
After quite a while.
Gu Yingzhou adjusted his sleeves and quickly disappeared from the Post Office entrance.
Lin Tang did not know that her lowered voice had still been overheard by a man with exceptional talents.
And that he would even greatly assist her later on.
Lin Tang walked briskly and soon arrived home.
No sooner had she pushed open the door than Goudan rushed over.
"Auntie, you’re finally back; can we go now?"
As the eldest asked, the three little faces glowed red as they looked at her eagerly, as if they couldn’t wait to leave.
Guessing it was about time, Lin Tang said, "If you want to go, let’s go, it’s about the right time anyway."
Arriving early was fine, and this was a good opportunity to take her parents to see the factory.
"Yay, we can finally go!"
"We’re going to play, how exciting~"
The four little ones joyfully ran in circles in the courtyard.
Lin Lu and Li Xiuli heard the commotion and came out of the house.
"Stop running around, or you’ll get dizzy,"
As if this were their own courtyard.
Goudan and the little ones immediately became well-behaved.
"Dad, mom, third brother, let’s go," Lin Tang said.
Lin Lu and the others had no objections.
The family locked up and headed toward the Textile Factory.
The security saw Lin Tang and his stern old face broke into a smile.
"Comrade Lin is here with her family."
"Oh, and four little kids as well! Are these your nieces and nephews?"
Three bald heads and one wearing a hat, the chances of them being bald were high.
