Two hundred and fortieth chapter painstaking efforts
Cheng Yongxin's meeting with Salina far exceeded her expectations. Although it took her a lot of effort to date this lady - Salina is well-known in the Senate and has a low sense of presence. Her elder
Part of the working time is spent on training tasks in the bases of powerful departments, or drafting various regulations, doctrines and law enforcement procedures for various powerful departments.
Cheng Yongxin doesn't know Salina, and doesn't even know where she usually hangs out. However, she has gained Pan Pan's "friendship" - Pan Pan and Salina are both from the United States, and they are both women, and they have a lot of contacts on weekdays.
Through Pan Pan's "introduction", she quickly got to know Salina.
Salina already spoke Mandarin very proficiently, but Cheng Yongxin still used her excellent American English to chat with her - she intuitively felt that whether it was Salina or Pan Pan, no matter how proficient they were in Chinese,
, you will still have a natural affinity for your mother tongue, and it will be easier to directly express the thoughts in your mind: there are many people who can speak fluently in a foreign language, but there are very few people who can think in a foreign language.
Salina rarely meets people who are willing to speak English to her. Even Pan Pan will not talk to her in English in public to avoid being misunderstood as to what secret they are discussing.
Cheng Yongxin realized that in this political group where Chinese-American yellow men were dominant, and most people had Darwinian socialism and chauvinism tendencies to a greater or lesser extent, and did not hesitate to buy and sell slaves and drive slaves to work, racial discrimination and sexism
Even "chiluo" showed it naked.
Although Salina now holds a very high position and has the position of "senator" and is considered important at work, she has always been an "outsider".
If Pan Pan has the existence of Ding Ding's "grafted body" and can be regarded as one of the Senate's "own people", Salina's relationship with Xue Ziliang, who is also an "outsider", makes it difficult for her to integrate into this group - although Xue Ziliang is of Chinese descent,
But it's an absolute banana.
Salina has no strength to resist this kind of discrimination. Cheng Yongxin believes that if she wants to win over Salina, she must first show "identification" with her cultural background rather than "friendliness" or "respect".
Sure enough, her little strategy was successful: Salina and her hit it off immediately and soon established a friendship. Xue Ziliang traveled very frequently in the past year, often staying away for several months - although every time he came back he was in full swing,
Not only did she do it three or four times every night, but she also came once early in the morning, which made the neighbors' eyes red and their faces swollen. After all, it still made her life very lonely. The exchanges between the two soon became more frequent.
Get closer.
In turn, she promoted the relationship between Salina and Pan Pan. She carefully maintained this new small group of best friends, subtly spreading her disapproval of the "male chauvinism" and "authoritarian tendencies" of the Senate.
Dissatisfied - she believed that her two new girlfriends had similar thoughts, and she wanted to play only a catalyst role.
Today's date can be said to make her feel "like a god". First of all, she got to know Su Wan and knew that this female forensic doctor in a powerful institution had similar dissatisfaction with herself in the Senate. In other words, she had become "
The possibility of "fellow travellers" or even "allies". Secondly, as a forensic doctor, she has first-hand information on the murder of Lin Xiaoya, which made Pan Pan extremely dissatisfied. Judging from Ding Ding's eagerness to withdraw reports on this case, this case
There is something very fishy. What is finally announced may not be the truth.
The truth must be in the hands of forensic doctor Su - the forensic doctor. He is the person who can make the deceased speak. If he can win over her, it means that he can grasp the truth first-hand. At that time, he can respond to the situation according to the development of the situation.
Use this "truth" in the most powerful way you can.
It was just that the smell of garlic and onions that Dr. Sufa ate was a bit hard for her to bear, and the smell of disinfectant on her body always gave people a strong unpleasant association. So much so that she kept feeling the same on the way home.
I can smell it
Back in the dormitory, Cheng Yongxin quickly took a shower, changed clothes, and sprinkled some perfume on her to make herself feel better.
Unhappily, her contact with Su Wan still benefited her a lot - out of caution, she did not ask anything about Lin Xiaoya's case, so as not to arouse the other party's suspicion. However, from Su Wan's sudden emotional attack today and the subsequent
During her conversation, she guessed that there must be some inside story in this case.
He must win over her as soon as possible and let her take the initiative to tell him the inside story of this case - there are no secrets between women. Even if it is annoying, you must do it. Isn't the source of your strength a woman?
Sun Shangxiang cooked dinner - no matter how much Cheng Yongxin criticized the maid school, the teaching results were undeniable. The food was a hundred times more delicious than hers, and the variety was much richer.
The two of them ate together. Sun Shangxiang was very nervous at first to eat at the same table as the master. She didn't even dare to pick up the food. After several days of this, she learned from other maids that this was also the case in the homes of various elders.
I slowly got used to it.
They chatted casually at the dinner table, especially about reading. Cheng Yongxin interestingly guided her to read some books and asked her to ask herself if she didn't understand something. In addition to this kind of "teaching", she also asked the maid
Things in school, especially Sun Shangxiang's classmates, what are they thinking about.
"What do you do at home on weekdays?" Cheng Yongxin asked casually while eating.
Sun Shangxiang stopped his chopsticks nervously: "Buying groceries...cleaning...cooking...and reading according to your instructions..."
"You don't have to stay at home and do housework all the time. I don't have so much housework to do here." Cheng Yongxin said, "You should walk around more and make friends with the maids of other senators' families. And your classmates in the maid school should also
Get close to me, don't forget me."
"Yes -" Sun Shangxiang didn't understand what his master meant, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to agree vaguely.
"Be more generous when doing things outside, don't be too stingy." Cheng Yongxin took out a "Senior Supplementary Card" newly issued by Delong Bank. This card is similar to the supplementary membership card of a farm, and is a supplementary card derived from the original veteran card.
It is specially used for consumption by maids. It is actually a kind of debit card. You can pay small daily expenses directly in all stores in Lingao. You can also withdraw a certain amount of cash from Delong's counter. The limit is set by the elders.
Certainly.
"Maids, when you have free time, you can have a meal together, drink tea, etc. If you want to spend cash, just withdraw it from the account. You are my person, so you must make a scene."
Sun Shangxiang returned to her new room to tidy up, while Cheng Yongxin entered the study with a cup of iced black tea.
"Zheng Zhilong finally collapsed... he has been bouncing around for long enough."
She took out the black booklet recently produced by the Truth Office. This was the "translation" work assigned to her - to polish the simplified horizontally arranged modern Chinese articles into the traditional vertically arranged ancient vernacular texts that could be copied directly for scholars. If everything goes well, this
A certain article written on Zhang's desk will be spit out in the mouth of a storyteller in the capital half a month later.
Judging from this piece of black material, the next target of the Senate is probably Guangdong. Cheng Yongxin found that the proportion of local officials in Guangzhou among the black materials he has recently handled has been significantly increasing. According to the consistent behavior of the Executive Committee, this is to
The rhythm of attacking Guangdong.
She put down the black material in her hand and took off the necklace from her neck. Hanging on the necklace was a fine Chinese jade cicada pendant - she bought it from the trophy auction. With her limited knowledge, this jade was in another place.
Time and space are worth at least tens of thousands of yuan. On the back of the pendant, there is a small copper key hanging.
She took off the copper key and opened the wooden door of the bookcase. Inside was an iron safe made by Lingao. She opened the safe, took out a locally made red leather notebook and started writing on it.
She carefully wrote down the materials she thought were valuable during today's meeting with Salina and Su Wan.
Cheng Yongxin has been in the habit of accumulating material ever since she had the ambition to be a screenwriter. Before D-Day, she secretly recorded a large number of what she saw and heard in the training camp. In fact, in this safe, she still has the records based on the time and space she traveled through the crowd.
records of daily activities and the outline of the script for "Space-Time Pioneers (tentative)" written.
Since she was no longer prepared to continue living her life in the big library, she began to consciously record those "potentially useful materials." She had accumulated a lot of materials in her red leather notebook.
Although many things are not secrets, after things have changed, they have become past events that the parties involved are unwilling to mention again. They hope that these things will be forgotten. By this time, these materials that are not secrets will have enough effect.
Locking the safe, she started to work. She was completely immersed in her work. It wasn't until she finished the work that she realized that the clock had passed midnight. Closing the pen, Cheng Yongxin got up and went to the kitchen to make black tea, but found that Sun Shangxiang, who should be going to bed, was quietly
of cleaning her kitchen.
"Shang Xiang? Why didn't you sleep?"
The girl immediately jumped up and bowed slightly to her in a standard manner.
"Chief, you are still working. I'm afraid you need some snacks at night, so I keep the tea warm."
Cheng Yongxin found that Sun Shangxiang's expression was a little distorted - he was obviously trying hard to hold back a yawn.
"Then bring me a cup of tea. By the way, call Lingao Daily tomorrow morning and help me make an appointment with Chief Pan Pan for lunch."
"Yes, Chief."
Cheng Yongxin looked at the life secretary in front of her and suddenly sighed. Even though she had many slanders against the Manchus, she still hoped that there would be more Xiaozhuang Queen Mothers.
