Chapter 236 Aren't We Women? Why Can't We Participate?_2



Only students from Handong Political Law were allowed to participate; it was impossible for members of the public to get in. In the past, there had been attempts to sneak into lectures, which wouldn't have mattered with any other lecture, as students often felt compelled to attend for credits, and it made no difference if someone else crashed it. But this was Tang Fangjing's lecture, and there wasn't even enough room for the students themselves! Any societal members caught attending were immediately kicked out. Now that there was a confirmed time and place to see Tang Fangjing, and for seven consecutive days at that, many people would go crazy. It could be said that the moment Old Tang's name appeared on the event roster, this situation was bound to occur. What? Focused only on marriage issues? Are you kidding me? Since they were there, of course they would ask more questions; getting answers was like striking gold. Tang Fangjing wasn't even on Tengda's legal consultation booking website, not something money could buy! So under these circumstances, the views on the press release began to soar, multiplying exponentially... Time flew to the next day, and Xiang Qionghui, yawning, arrived at the office. She casually opened the WeChat public account backend, and her drowsiness vanished instantly after one glance. For a moment, Xiang Qionghui thought she had seen wrong. In the past, articles posted on her public account were almost unread, sometimes requiring orders for others to share them. But this time, overnight, the views had broken a million, not to mention comments and shares were off the charts! What was going on? Could it be that she was about to become famous? Just as she was about to see what the comments were saying, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and the deputy director walked in shouting, "Xiang Qionghui, what did you post on the public account yesterday?" Xiang Qionghui, caught off guard by the shout, replied instinctively, "It was just a press release, announcing our joint legal consultation event with the bar association. What's wrong, Director?" This was standard operating procedure; posting press releases was common for similar events, and not just on WeChat, but elsewhere too. The deputy director, grinding his teeth, said, "Did you write that Tang Fangjing would also participate in this event?" "I did, wasn't that the key point of promotion we discussed earlier?" Xiang Qionghui replied, even more puzzled. This was the direction you leaders had set previously, so of course, I had to write about it. But she definitely couldn't say that out loud. "Well now, our office phones haven't stopped ringing since this morning, call after call coming in, all asking how to sign up. And some people, unable to get through on the phone, have started calling the Discipline Inspection Commission and our superiors!" "Now they all are calling to inquire about the situation here, this is... sigh!" The deputy director seemed ready to heave a sigh. What a mess this had turned into; they thought it would just be another event where everyone would be happy. Yet somehow, it had blown up unexpectedly. Hearing this, Xiang Qionghui hurried to look at the comments—sure enough, almost all of them were asking how to participate in the event. This... this situation was completely different from what they had anticipated! The event was intended for internal audiences, meaning people from the city, districts, and the grassroots level were chosen to participate. As long as everyone got along and the event was successful, there would be no issues. But it seemed they had somewhat underestimated Tang Fangjing's fame... Things had escalated. The office had only one line for external calls, and the number of callers was countless. They could not provide any answers, for there was no so-called registration process in place! As such, all they could do on the phone was hedge, feigning ignorance about the situation... For an event you organized, not knowing the details in your office only made the callers' anger rise. In Dongding Community, Dong Xiangmei was beyond furious—she didn't even understand why she was so angry herself. She was one of the few who had managed to get through on the phone, filled with hope to find out how to register, only to be told by the person on the other end that they didn't know. No matter how she asked, there was no answer. Out of anger, Dong Xiangmei shared the issue online. Consequently, online discussion about the matter also began to heat up. Mainly because online onlookers were plentiful. Netizens from all corners weren't likely able to attend the event, but they loved a dramatic scene and didn't mind making a big deal out of it—especially when the incident was so intriguing! Thus, the fervor surrounding the entire issue grew, and netizens demanded that the Jingzhou Women's Federation provide an explanation: why hadn't they announced a way to register, and why did their staff know nothing! Of course, this spilled over into a general criticism of Jingzhou and Handong. Regional trolling is like that; it's always Jingzhou with the constant buzz of activity, regular incidents like these meant they naturally got flak. The matter had now turned into a public opinion fiasco, and the Jingzhou Women's Federation was hurriedly deliberating, but it was too late. At some point, another hot topic emerged online. "You still want to sign up? Dream on; the participants for this event are all internal." Once this message was released, people like Dong Xiangmei felt like they were breathing fire from their noses! "Why the hell? I just want to ask: Why? This event targets marital disputes, right? To help us women better understand the law and defend our legal rights, right?" "So I want to ask, are we commoners not women? Why can't we participate, why is there no registration process at all!"
