In mid-May, the short stories written by Luo Yu were officially published in the form of picture books. Wulong Mine Kindergarten was the first to order a set, which was read to the children by the kindergarten teachers.

Subsequently, the mining bureau required all its subordinate primary and secondary schools and kindergartens to purchase a set of these materials and use their spare time to explain them to the children.

Following this, the Fuyang Municipal Education Bureau also issued a document requiring all primary and secondary school students in the city to read through the contents of the comic book. Like the primary and secondary schools under the Mining Bureau, each school used their spare time to read it to the children.

At the same time, education bureaus in all cities across the province have issued documents requiring all primary and secondary schools to make sure that students understand the importance of preventing and combating child abduction, just like in Fuyang City.

That wasn't all. By the end of May, primary and secondary schools across the province were carrying out all sorts of activities related to preventing and combating child abduction. These included rehearsing plays, writing short stories to participate in competitions, and writing rhymes. As long as the rhymes were memorable and easy for people to understand, they could win awards.

Luo Yu never expected this matter to escalate to such a huge extent, with almost the entire nation getting involved.

Luo Yu also benefited from this incident.

First of all, she is among the outstanding individuals recognized at the mine this year.

Secondly, the mine, the mining bureau, the women's federation, the municipal education commission, and the municipal government awarded her various certificates and prizes. Even the literary and art federation got involved, and the cash prizes alone amounted to more than 300 yuan.

Luo Yu refused the money and donated it all to the city's orphanage. As a result, Luo Yu's actions were highly praised by her superiors and were reported to higher authorities.

By mid-June, Luo Yu had become a celebrity. She was busy giving speeches here and there, teaching at schools, attending meetings at the Education Bureau, and visiting women's federations. She was so busy she barely had time to breathe.

Until the end of June, when the nationwide anti-trafficking campaign was launched, Luo Yu was invited to give a speech to the police and soldiers. Working together with the soldiers, they rescued many abducted women and children.

Luo Yu has made a contribution; she should be awarded the title of Advanced Individual.

This terrified Luo Yu; her face turned pale when she heard about it.

She didn't mean to make such a big fuss. She just wanted to be recognized as an advanced worker in the mine. How did it end up in the provincial capital?

And it also needs to be reported to higher authorities.

Isn't that terrifying?

She wants to cry!

Luo Yu wasn't the only one who wanted to cry; Xi Beizhan did too.

Because Luo Yu has been too busy these days, Xi Beizhan hasn't seen his wife for a long time. He finally managed to see her today and was thinking of going home tonight to hug her and tell her his true feelings, but she has to go to the provincial capital for a meeting again.

Xi Beizhan was so frustrated!

I never imagined my wife would be so capable when I got married.

He just wanted to sleep soundly with his wife, but little did he know that she was about to take off, flying to a height he could never reach.

He felt unworthy of his wife, who was originally a fairy. Now that she's famous and has made contributions, he feels even less worthy of her.

Xi Beizhan felt somewhat inferior, and he wondered if he should find something to do and make some contribution.

Luo Yu looked up at the newly awarded certificate on the wall, then thought of Xi Beizhan's huge box of medals and sighed inwardly.

Compared to her husband, she's far behind; she still has a lot to work on!

The income from the comic books was something Luo Yu hadn't expected. She only glanced at them before turning away, feeling heartbroken and afraid of regretting it later!

As time went by, the heat of the incident gradually subsided, and Luo Yu had time to dedicate herself to the Women's Federation of Wulong Mine for an extended period.

"Xiao Luo, you must be exhausted these days. Why don't you take a few days off at home? You still have to host that social event in a few days, right? You'll be working hard again."

Director Xu is happy to see Luo Yu now. She's a real talent. She's done so much, and she'll benefit from it too. If nothing unexpected happens, she'll be transferred to the Municipal Women's Federation next year.

But now that she's gone, who will take her place?

Logically speaking, Xiao Luo is the most suitable, but she is still too young and lacks experience. I always feel that she is just a little bit lacking.

The other older women don't have high levels of education, so if we push them up, the Municipal Women's Federation probably won't agree. They might even have to transfer someone over to be the director.

If that's the case, Xiao Luo's chances of getting ahead might be indefinitely delayed. And if he doesn't get along with the new director, the consequences...

Director Xu frowned slightly, preoccupied with his own thoughts, and didn't hear what Luo Yu said.

Luo Yu noticed that Director Xu seemed to be deep in thought, and sensed that something was on her mind, but she didn't want to ask too much, so she could only stand aside and wait.

Director Xu thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Xiao Luo, you were officially hired at the end of March, right?"

Luo Yu nodded. "Yes, Director, you submitted it for me in March, so my salary for April will be calculated as a regular employee."

A full-time employee gets 42 yuan a month, that's great!

Director Xu nodded. "If you handle the social event well, I'll enroll you in a training course to go to the provincial capital. When you come back, I'll promote you to deputy director."

Luo Yu was taken aback. "Is this... appropriate? There are several older women in our office, and they're older than me..."

Before Luo Yu could finish speaking, several middle-aged women chimed in, "Don't worry about us. You're more suitable than us."

“You’re young and full of energy. You have more ideas than us old folks. I think Xiao Luo is more suitable to be the deputy director.”

“We’re about to retire, so we won’t argue with you. It’s just a title; the office will still be the same few of us. Why are you refusing?”

“Our educational level is what it is. Even if we want to move up, the higher-ups won’t agree. We have to give opportunities to younger comrades.”

……

Several middle-aged women offered their advice one after another, while Director Xu smiled without saying a word, his eyes full of joy.

Look how united their women's federation is under her leadership!

They don't even fight for the position of deputy director. In other departments, people would fight tooth and nail to get promoted!

In fact, the older women knew exactly what was going on.

Don't they know their own limitations? They're not highly educated, haven't made any outstanding contributions, and their job is just mediating relationships among colleagues—anyone can do that, why would we need a few more?

They can't write articles, they're not good at writing plans, and they don't have the brains to come up with ideas. People like them should just wait for retirement.

What's there to argue about? What's there to argue about?

What good is winning it? You'll still have to retire when the time comes.

The pension won't increase by much, and I've been so busy at work these days that I'm practically running around like crazy. It's not worth it!

Moreover, if they can't get promoted, neither can Xiao Luo. Once Director Xu leaves, the higher-ups will definitely have to transfer someone else to lead them.

It's better to let Luo Yu work with someone you don't know or are unfamiliar with than to work with someone you don't know well.

At least Luo Yu and the others understand!

This is one of our own!
