I Became a Vicious Supporting Role in the '70s-Chapter 269: Struck Rich

Shen Meng spent the whole night imparting knowledge about women to Ming Fang. Although the young girl listened with a blushing face, embarrassed, she still tried hard to understand.

Shen Meng did not expect her to understand everything, but she wanted to tell her daughter to accept the changes in her body without feeling embarrassed, as these were all very normal phenomena. Ming Fang is a good girl; after listening carefully, she would also ask some small questions that puzzled her.

Over the past year, she had raised the children at home very well. The boys had grown taller and had healthy wheat-colored skin, while Ming Fang had cut her long hair to a short length that reached her ears, as she found long hair a waste of time, and Shen Meng had indulged her.

In the dim night, looking at the well-raised girl, she felt a sudden sense of responsibility resting on her shoulders.

The next day when the rooster crowed, Shen Meng placed several small tank tops, which she had washed the night before with the washing and drying machines while the children were asleep, beside Ming Fang’s pillow.

She also left a small note.

"My dear daughter, you are gradually growing up. Many things you can start to try on your own. This is something Mom prepared for you, wear it under your clothes, take good care of yourself, love from your Mom."

Ming Fang looked at the note, unable to contain her joy, the four small tank tops beside her pillow - red, yellow, pink, and grass green, all adorned with cute little animal patterns were incredibly lovely.

She quickly took off her cotton silk pajamas and put on one of the tank tops, then added a jacket on top, a sense of novelty lingering in her heart.

On the way to work in the county, Shen Meng took two tank tops from her bag for Wu Xianglan and gave two to Shirley.

"This is a small tank top I bought before, I bought too many, take them home and wash them well. Let the young girls at home wear them, some things should be talked about ahead of time with the young girls at home, don’t wait until the children grow up, still ignorant of these matters!"

"Wow, this looks really nice; this material must be expensive, right?"

"That’s for sure, she always spends money on her children, and she’s even more generous with Ming Fang. We’re just lucky."

Shen Meng smiled and did not continue the conversation; they were all career women, and it would be awkward to discuss female topics in front of Uncle Guai.

When Shen Meng arrived at the bus company and was selling tickets, Fu Meili led two people to her workstation, Shen Meng saw that they were still holding items in their hands, her eyes shining brightly again.

"Xiao Meng, this is Secretary Chang from our bus company, representing the leaders to come and visit you, haha, come over and meet him."

"Ah, hello Secretary Chang, it’s very kind of you to come such a long way to see me."

Fu Meili: "... Next door courtyard, not far away, well, everyone please take a seat, I’ll pour some water."

Secretary Chang felt awkward for a moment, sitting at the table across from Shen Meng, causing an employee who had just returned from the restroom to turn around and head back to the restroom upon seeing someone sitting at their workstation.

"Comrade Shen Meng, this is a gift from our superior leaders to you for the great contributions you made to our county. You also got our bus company’s name printed in the paper for the whole province to see. The higher-ups really appreciate our unit’s work. The leader has decided to raise your salary to US$ 69 per month. If you have any more heroic deeds in the future, our unit will increase your salary and there will be additional rewards. Remember to take these gifts home after work tonight. Besides, here’s a bonus the leader specifically applied for you, totaling US$ 500. Take care of it."

"Oh my, how can I accept this, Secretary Chang? I just did what an employee should do. How can I accept such a large bonus? I truly feel undeserving."

Fu Meili, holding a tray between them, didn’t believe a word from Shen Meng. If she hadn’t known her earlier, she might have thought Shen Meng’s modest words were genuinely due to self-doubt. But now, she clearly knew she was just being modest to let others sing her praises.

"How can you feel undeserving? Comrade Shen Meng, not only these, but when our leaders went to the Provincial City for a meeting, they also applied for a silk banner for you, which will be delivered to you personally later. You will have a photo taken with it. Comrade Shen Meng, the leaders have high hopes for you, you must work hard!"

Shen Meng immediately stood up, turned to Secretary Chang and Fu Meili, and said, "I am truly honored to have a photo with the leaders. I will hang it right in the center of our family hall. I will look at it every day to motivate me to work even harder. Thank you for the organization’s trust, thank you for the leaders’ nurturing, thank you to Secretary Chang and Director Fu for giving me this opportunity. I will prioritize our unit’s affairs above all and strive hard every day."

"Good, well said!"

"Yes, Comrade Shen Meng always has a high level of consciousness. I will definitely report these words faithfully to the leaders, and they will be reassured."

Shen Meng smiled and said nothing. As a hardworking employee in the new century, such responses came naturally to her. No matter what, what leaders liked most were always these buttered-up compliments!

Shen Meng’s desk was piled with stuff, she joyfully held the US$ 500 bonus in her hand. When some of the less busy colleagues saw that others had left, they quickly gathered around. Shen Meng was now the celebrity of the county. Networking more could only be beneficial.

Meanwhile, the others continued chatting noisily. After a while, Li Qianqian came over with someone. She had just come out of maternity leave, fully focused on making career achievements. Most of the time, the baby was looked after by Hu Biao and the nanny, and her family supported her career fully. Now she practically dictated everything at home, even Director Hu had to watch her mood. After all, she bagged a monthly international order that was increasing in demand. If Li Qianqian ever got upset and refused the county textile factory’s fabrics, it would mean a huge loss for the factory.

"Sister Meng, your place is really lively!"

"Director, why have you come over? Is there anything you need?"

Li Qianqian, dressed in a brand-new fashionable outfit and wearing a headband produced by the Head Flower Factory, looked rather modern. The ticket sellers in the office sized her up from head to toe.

"I came here to give you a reward. You brought such great honor to our factory. As the leader of Xiangyang Head Flower Factory, how could I not show my appreciation? Here, this is for you, a bonus of US$ 500. My dad, he’s so busy with the factory business, now staying in the Provincial City all the time. But he still called, thanked you and said

he’ll bring you good news when he’s back and wants you to visit our home too!"

Shen Meng’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Li Qianqian, her inner self screaming in ecstasy, "I’m getting rich, I’m getting really rich!!!" freёwebnoѵel.com
