Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

"Just say I will accompany you then and you don't need him." Gao You saw that Gao Shuang still had feelings for Zheng Yu, so he couldn't just break them up right away.

"I thought so too. You don't need to accompany me then. You still have to go to school, so don't let it interfere with your studies. I can go by myself then." Gao Shuang already had a plan.

"It's not realistic to go alone. One reason is safety issues, and the other is that one person can't carry too much cargo. I'll find a reliable person to go with you." If she really can't find someone, she can go too.

The main reason is that she is rehearsing a program here and can't leave.

"Who do you know?" Gao Shuang was curious about who Gao You knew in the county.

"I'll ask Director Lu to help me." Gao You currently has too few connections in the county, only Sister Li, Sister Deng, Director Lu, Director Ma, and Director Tu.

However, Director Lu has a strong network of contacts in the county. Within two days, she introduced someone to Gao You.

The person is called Xiong Dani, she is 29 years old this year. She used to be a soldier. She has killed people and been to jail. She was just released last month.

"It sounds awesome!" Gao You was very curious about this Xiong Dani.

Gao You felt that Director Lu would not introduce her to unreliable people, so she wanted to know more.

Director Lu took a sip of hot tea and then slowly said, "She killed her brother-in-law. Her brother-in-law cheated on her and abused her sister."

"Deserve to die!" Gao You wanted to whistle this sister.

Director Lu looked at Gao You's admiring expression and continued, "She couldn't find a job after she got out. Since you want to find a temporary bodyguard for your sister, I thought of her."

Of course, she didn't mention the things that Secretary Zhou helped introduce her to, and she was not allowed to mention it either.

He has served in the army, killed people, and been to jail. These few points alone are enough to be a deterrent.

"How is she?"

"She doesn't talk much, but she has a lively look in her eyes. She is a model both in the military camp and in prison." Director Lu has read Xiong Dani's information and found her to be a responsible person.

"It's her. When can she come?" Gao You was very interested in Xiong Dani.

If the person is reliable, she would like to recruit him for her own use.

"If you agree, she can come tomorrow," said Director Lu.

The next day, Gao You met Xiong Dani, who was a little taller than her, about 1.75 meters tall, with a strong build, a shaved head, regular features, cold eyes, slightly high cheekbones, and slightly thick lips.

She looks like a selfless person, but full of explosive energy. She is a cool sister.

"Sister, now I can only offer you a monthly salary of 100. When you make money in the future, you can raise it. If you are willing, we can sign an employment contract, how about it?" Gao You said straight to the point.

This salary is neither high nor low, but it is currently on the low side for talents like Xiong Dani.

Xiong Dani looked down at the little girl in front of her a little, but she didn't dare to look down on her in her heart.

Gao You has a temperament that she has only seen in families like the Chen family. He can remain calm and composed in the face of anyone and anything.

He is a capable person.

"Okay." Xiong Dani agreed concisely.

Witnessed by Director Lu, Gao You and Xiong Dani signed an employment contract.

Gao You then brought Xiong Dani to introduce her to Gao Shuang.

Gao Shuang also acted quickly and, with the help of Sister Li, rented a small courtyard.

It is said to be an ancestral house. The owner has never lived in it since he took it back and it has been idle ever since.

Someone comes to renovate the house every few years, but no one lives there. The house is rather dilapidated, but the rent is cheap and it’s close. The department store plaza is just two corners away.

When Gao You and Xiong Dani found the small courtyard, Gao Shuang was cleaning the yard.

After entering the door, there are three brick houses with a patio in the middle, which is a typical courtyard layout.

There was a lot of debris in the yard. Gao Shuang wrapped his hair with a towel and was cleaning up some debris from the room, including broken tiles, broken bricks, old newspapers, etc.

"Sister, this is the bodyguard we hired. He will accompany you to Guangdong Province to purchase goods tomorrow." Gao You briefly introduced the two of them.

Xiong Dani nodded, rolled up her sleeves and started to work.

Gao Shuang said a few polite words and let her go.

Gao You was in a hurry to go back to arrange the program, and gave Gao Shuang the several phone numbers she had copied down.

There were people from Teacher He’s office, Director Lu’s office, and Director Ma’s office. They told Gao Shuang that if anything happened, he should call the police first and then call her.

"I got it. Am I the older sister or are you the older sister?" Gao Shuang put the note away and sent Gao You back.

When Xiong Dani saw Gao You was about to leave, she wanted to see her off.

"Your current task is to be responsible for my sister's safety. Put her and your own safety first. Don't be impulsive. To me, people are the most important. Remember?" Gao You stopped her.

"I'll remember that." Xiong Dani nodded in response.

After Gao You finished rehearsing the program and returned to school, he was stopped by the old man at the door.

"Classmate, there is a letter for you." The old man took out an envelope.

Gao You took it and took a look. It was a letter from the Women's Newspaper.

"Thank you, brother!"

"I told you to call me uncle, but you keep calling me brother. You are taking advantage of me!" The security guard pretended to be angry. If Gao You hadn't kept curling up the corners of his mouth, he would have believed him.

Gao You opened the letter as he walked.

It had been almost twenty days since she sent the letter and she thought it was hopeless, but unexpectedly she finally received a reply.

Sure enough, there was a newspaper inside, dated more than ten days ago. Her manuscript was accepted, but in the form of a reader's letter.

What she wrote was indeed a letter, a letter in which she asked where the woman's home was.

The content was similar to what she asked Director Lu when she first went to the Women's Federation. It started with her meeting Sister Deng, who could not get a divorce due to domestic violence, and then to her older sister who had a miscarriage due to domestic violence. She felt angry, confused, and puzzled about the experiences of these women, so she wrote the letter hoping that someone could give her an answer.

There was also a remittance slip for ten dollars in royalties in the envelope.

Fine, as long as it can be published.

Afterwards, Gao You received replies from several other newspapers one after another. Some of them were published as formal articles, some were letters from readers, and some were not published but were personal replies from the editors to comfort her and answer her questions.

Later, she received some letters from readers forwarded by the newspaper, which were written to her.

Some unmarried women discussed with her the same confusion she encountered, and some readers shared their own experiences or those around them of domestic violence in their letters, expressing their agreement and support for her letter; some readers sought help in their letters, hoping to gain courage and strength from her to face the difficulties in life.

Gao You selected a few letters and replied to them, hoping to give them some encouragement and support.

The time has come to December 28th, and starting from these two days, comrades from the police station have officially joined the program rehearsal, preparing for tomorrow's competition and rehearsing for the official performance two days later.

Gao You, however, was in a state of low spirits and was woken up by the cold every night.

The cold seemed to have reached its peak these days. Gao You suspected that if it continued to be so cold, she would really be frozen to death in the middle of the night.

By the middle of the night, the thermos had become completely cold and the temperature of the quilt was gradually getting colder. Gao You could only keep adjusting his posture, trying to find a little warmth.

However, no matter how hard I tried, the temperature in the bed was always difficult to rise.

This kind of cold often made it difficult for her to fall asleep in the second half of the night. She kept tossing and turning, looking forward to the daybreak.

On such a cold night, Gao You missed the floor heating, the hot packs, and her RV even more.
