Chapter 2786 Two Extremes!

Sister Lu is a very assertive person. Everything has to be done according to her opinion, and even if her opinion is wrong, she simply won't listen to other opinions.

Chen Yu, who couldn't even appease his own wife, was even less likely to win over his female boss, so the two had argued more than once. This time, Sister Lu had originally planned to use Chen Yu's mistake as an opportunity to transfer him to a frontline reporting position, but unexpectedly, the station director showed up.

Sister Lu didn't know what was going on. She was very glad that she didn't know about the plan. Otherwise, if the station director had gone to find Chen Yu and Chen Yu had complained about her, she would have been in trouble.

Chen Yu was actually a little confused. After arriving at the station director's office and greeting him, he cautiously asked, "Director, you wanted to see me?"

The station director kindly invited Chen Yu to sit down and exchanged pleasantries for quite a while. Just when Chen Yu was still completely bewildered, the station director changed the subject and asked, "Chen Yu, I saw you taking advanced classes at Manny Art School! How are you doing?"

Chen Yu thought this was just a polite remark from his superior, so he said rather subtly, "My wife is the manager of Manny Art Training School. I only learn it when I'm bored while picking her up; it's not something I do regularly."

The station director was surprised that Chen Yu, who was working diligently, had such connections. He immediately said excitedly, "Little Chen, you are too modest. That is Master Wang's training school. Many people want to send their children there, but even Master Wang doesn't have the opportunity to teach there."

The station director looked at Chen Yu with anticipation as he finished speaking.

If someone were quick-witted or good at flattery, they would definitely understand that the station director wanted Chen Yu to help send their child over to be personally taught by Wang Yue.

However, Chen Yu didn't understand at all, or rather, he didn't want to trouble others because of his personality, so he said embarrassedly, "Actually, the main reason is that my wife and Mr. Wang's wife have a very good relationship, so I had the opportunity to learn."

Actually, I'm far worse than those six students Mr. Wang taught. None of them dared to post their work on social media. I feel I've only learned a little bit, which is quite embarrassing.

When the station director saw that Chen Yu hadn't understood, he immediately realized why Sister Lu had such a problem with Chen Yu and wanted to transfer him to the front line as a reporter.

This headstrong personality is perfect for being a frontline reporter, because he doesn't give face to anyone and is sure to get the real news.

However, as a station director, he is like a patriarch, so he certainly knows how to coordinate the entire television station and can be useful to all kinds of people.

Now that he understood Chen Yu was the kind of person who needed to be direct, he simply said, "Little Chen! It's like this, my wife really wants to send my daughter to Master Wang's training class to study under him. My child does have some basic skills, but she's written several pieces of calligraphy as required and sent them to Master Wang, but she hasn't been selected yet. So I'm shamelessly asking you to help me ask Master Wang if he can accept my child."

Chen Yu then understood what was going on. He opened his mouth to refuse, because in his opinion, he shouldn't trouble others with things he could handle himself.

After all, Chen Yu believed that people should have a sense of boundaries and not bother others with everything.

However, Chen Yu thought that he had already offended Sister Lu, his direct supervisor. If he offended the station director as well, he might be transferred to a different position, and it was hard to say where.

So, Chen Yu had no other choice but to say, "Director, I'll go back and talk to my wife and ask her to put in a good word for me. But I can't guarantee anything, since Mr. Wang has only taken in six so far, which shows that trying to pull strings is often useless."

Seeing Chen Yu's words, the station director said meaningfully, "It all depends on Xiao Chen's work ability. I have high hopes for you, so don't let me down!" Chen Yu suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but he had no choice but to agree. However, he was somewhat absent-minded when he was at get off work or in class, and he was even more confused when he picked up Zhong Xiaoqin from school.

Zhong Xiaoqin was quite observant. Seeing Chen Yu's completely different attitude from a few days ago, she asked him with suspicion, "Chen Yu, what's wrong with you today? The green light came on several times, but you didn't start the car."

Chen Yu knew he couldn't hide the truth any longer. Although he was a little embarrassed, he still forced himself to say, "Today our station director came to me wanting his son to learn calligraphy and painting from Lao Wang."

As you know, I've been both an older brother and a father figure since I was little, so I know how difficult it is to ask for help. That's why I've never asked anyone for anything since I grew up. Now I really don't know how to bring it up, but if I don't say anything, I'm afraid of offending the station director.

When Zhong Xiaoqin heard about Chen Yu's troubles, she said speechlessly, "Why are you like this? We're husband and wife. Just tell me what you want to say, okay? I'll only know if I try."

Chen Yu explained with difficulty, "But the work Wang Manni arranged for you is already taking good care of you. They are not related to us. It would be really inconsiderate of us to ask them for help again."

Zhong Xiaoqin glanced at Chen Yu and said with disdain, "I know you were hurt by your relatives in the past and feel that even your relatives are like this. Don't ask for favors from others in the future."

But the feelings between people are gradually cultivated through helping each other with tasks.

Aside from one's own parents, no one can be born with a very deep emotional bond with another person. If you don't try to get to know them, how can you know what kind of person they are?

Moreover, asking someone for a favor is essentially a process of selecting friends.

There's no obligation for others to help you, but through this experience of asking for help, you can learn who can help. If someone doesn't help you, you're not obligated to help them either. If someone is genuinely trying to help you, then of course you should repay them in the future.

Isn't that how human relationships work? You help him, he helps you, and that's how feelings deepen.

For example, your relatives,

If you don't even ask them for help, they'll definitely say you're cold-hearted and heartless. But precisely because you were turned away when you asked them for help back then, when have you ever seen them ask you for help now?

After Zhong Xiaoqin finished speaking, she suddenly felt great. Her husband always said that he hadn't grown up, but she felt that her husband hadn't grown up either. They were both still mentally immature children!

Zhong Xiaoqin has helped many people at work and knows that many people don't know how to be grateful, but so what? Through helping others, she has learned who is good and who is not, so she will know how to get along with them in the future.

Of course, this is Zhong Xiaoqin's experience in getting along with others, which she has summarized over the years.

Of course, Zhong Xiaoqin and Chen Yu are actually two extremes, and it would be better to combine them.
