readx(); After dealing with Germany's huge arms purchases, Bai Nan leisurely walked from the office area to the Tongguang Pavilion residential area. Unexpectedly, Bai Nan found his wife Xu Xin talking to Ye Qiuyi, the current vice minister of culture and education, in the living room.

When she first crossed over, Ye Qiuyi was a beauty comparable to Xu Xin, and she was born in a wealthy family, had a good upbringing, and her temperament was extraordinary, attracting many suitors. It's just that Xu Xin married a wife early, and now she is an extremely prominent first lady, and she has four children and lives a family life. And although Ye Qiuyi has a bright career and is the highest-ranking female civil servant in the country, she is still single, and she has not even heard of an affair with a man over the years.

Bai Nan didn't have much contact with Ye Qiuyi, Xu Xin and Ye Qiuyi weren't very familiar, and Ye Qiuyi had never been to Tongguang Pavilion, so at this time, Bai Nan was still a little surprised.

Nan turned around, and the two women got up, Ye Qiuyi nodded slightly towards Bai Nan, "President." ”

With a cold personality, she is not as easy to make people feel like a spring breeze as Xu Xin, and most of the time she is like an iceberg beauty, which is difficult to approach. Even in the face of Bai Nan, the big president, she didn't show the slightest heat.

Bai Nan didn't care, and said, "Hello Vice Minister Ye, do you have any matters to discuss with me?" ”

Ye Qiuyi said flatly: "It's not that there is something to do with the president, if it is to find the president, it will naturally be arranged through the official road of Tongguang Pavilion, and this time I came, I have something to discuss with the first lady." ”

Bai Nan was even more surprised, Ke Xin glanced at it, and Xu Xin also showed a helpless expression. Of course, the first lady has some political functions and will participate in many public welfare or cultural activities. However, Xu Xin is an extremely low-key first lady, except for the activities arranged for her by Tongguang Pavilion, she spends most of the time doing her own thing, and she doesn't leave Tongguang Pavilion much, let alone lead any topics.

If Ye Qiuyi, as the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education, invites Xu Xin to participate in any cultural activities, there are also formal channels, and the State Council will inform Tongguang Pavilion that Bai Nan's secretaries will ask Xu Xin and arrange a schedule for her, instead of letting the vice minister come to see her in person.

Therefore, it should be a private matter, Bai Nan is interesting, a little greeting, and he doesn't stay, and goes upstairs to find his little cubs.

After Bai Nan left, Ye Qiuyi and Xu Xin sat down again, and Ye Qiuyi expressed his intention: "Madam, have you paid attention to the 'Sun Yiping incident' on the news recently?" ”

Xu Xin nodded and said, "This matter has been in a uproar recently, and I have heard some of it. ”

Sun Yiping is a top student who graduated from Luodu University in China, and many years ago, she was just a little maid in Jiangnan who escaped from the Red Mansion Chu Pavilion. Sun Yiping, who had a rough background, was sold into a brothel by her gambling father when she was a child, and Sun Yiping began to serve others in the land of fireworks and suffered a lot. On one occasion, she was severely beaten for breaking a vase cherished by the bustard. Sun Yiping escaped from the brothel, and in desperation, she boarded a migrant ship to Datang.

After coming to Datang, Sun Yiping felt unprecedented freedom and a new atmosphere. Because she was still young, she was sent to a boarding school, and it took three years to complete all the courses from elementary school to high school, and she was admitted to the University of Los Angeles, the country's premier university. Four years later, she graduated from Luodu University with full honors, and what seemed to be a Yangguan Avenue in front of her was full of hope.

At this time, she began to interview a number of domestic first-class companies. However, when she interviewed for a large company, she ran into a ceiling. The origin of the land of fireworks, coupled with the identity of a woman, was excluded by the company's personnel interviewer. The interviewer was also a Qing immigrant, with deep-seated sexism, and her previous experience in a brothel/house. The interviewer told her bluntly that she had the best knowledge and ability among all the interviewees, but their company did not accept female middle management cadres, let alone a prostitute.

Sun Yiping was disillusioned for a while, she was full of thought that she had come to a country where there was no longer oppression and bullying, the society here was tolerant and fraternal, and she could rely on her own efforts to say goodbye to the tragic experience of the past, live a better life, and become a better person. But what she didn't expect was that nothing seemed to have changed.

So the radical Sun Yiping left a suicide note full of accusations and committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake on a bleak night.

After the incident was exposed, it attracted widespread attention from the whole society, especially the suicide note of Sun Yiping, who was quite literate, and after it was published in the newspaper, it earned countless tears. Many female compatriots, including many fair gay men, have criticized this kind of gender discrimination in society, and the company that did not accept Sun Yiping was smashed with eggs and stones for many days, and even some cooperative units refused to cooperate with it. All in all, the matter generated an unexpected amount of attention.

Ye Qiuyi began: "For a long time, we have been in a patriarchal society, which may not be able to change, or it may be taken for granted by many people. But Datang is a country that breaks new ground, full of tolerance and civilization, and there are many, many women like Sun Yiping who have been coldly discriminated against and substantially harmed. They are not promoted in the workplace, they are subjected to violence in the family, they are bullied in society, and they are even bound by many unnecessary social norms that are imposed. If fellow women do not stand up to defend their rights, then all this will continue, and the light of the Tang civilization will be tarnished. So, it's time for all of us to do something about it. ”

Xu Xin was extremely smart, she immediately understood Ye Qiuyi's intentions, she Qiuyi, said, "You mean, to promote a women's movement? ”

"Yes."

Xu Xin asked: "And is it a movement that has nothing to do with the government, and is it carried out in a purely civil and spontaneous nature?" ”

"That's right, that's it."

Xu Xin said: "No wonder you didn't look for Bai Nan, you found me directly." So, you want to use my status as first lady to carry the flag for you? To tell you the truth, I also hate these phenomena in society, and I am also in favor of a women's movement, but I think it is more important in what form and how to carry out it. ”
