Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 47: Entirely Voluntary

Director Xu from the paper mill has already called his secretary to chase people away.

Jiang Cheng quickly took out a handwritten flyer and placed it in front of Director Xu.

Director Xu, a bit impatient, just glanced at it.

"Comrade, please leave now."

Just as the secretary finished speaking, Director Xu raised his hand and waved.

"It’s fine, let this.....night school comrade stay, you may leave first."

Secretary: Don’t try to understand the director’s thoughts!

What else could he do, he left obediently.

After the secretary left, Director Xu pointed at the flyer and asked, "What’s this?"

The flyer in front of him was of novel design, eye-catching to say the least, and the most impressive part was that it highlighted the name of their paper mill.

Too conspicuous.

Jiang Cheng smiled as he approached to start explaining.

"Director Xu, a few days ago, our night school participated in an anti-kidnapping campaign..."

Director Xu’s mouth twitched.

You’re really good at boasting!

Campaign??

Jiang Cheng showed no sign of guilt and continued to embellish....uhm, beautify the language.

"During this campaign, we found that the public lacks awareness about the prevention against kidnappers, so our night school voluntarily cooperated with the police department for free, and staged an anti-kidnapping play."

"The main purpose is to teach people how to identify and prevent the temptations of kidnappers, especially in groups that are easily harmed."

...

Jiang Cheng talked a lot before finally getting to the main point.

"Since we need promotion, we naturally need to spread the word, let people know about such an event."

"If no one shows up, the activity is just a waste."

"So our night school wants to make a batch of flyers similar to the one in front of Director Xu, and then post them in some places or distribute them among the public."

"In this way, once everyone knows, they will naturally come to watch the performance."

"But..."

Director Xu understood that the main point was coming.

Sure enough, Jiang Cheng began to say: "But our night school lacks funding, and the number of flyers is large, so we came to the paper mill."

Director Xu understood.

He was being asked to supply paper.

Jiang Cheng paused for a moment and then continued: "Director Xu, every flyer we make will do this, meaning each one will bear the paper mill’s name."

"A drop of water remembers its source, our night school represents the thanks of thousands of families who will be saved in the future for your generous support."

After hearing this, Director Xu said nothing but let his eyes fall on the flyer.

Is he tempted?

Of course, he is tempted.

This is equivalent to an advertising slot in golden time given to you for free.

The temptation of being the ’title sponsor’ is indeed great.

The main thing is that the propaganda of the anti-kidnapping play is positive. If done well, their paper mill might really gain honor.

Director Xu pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

"May I know your name, comrade?"

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Cheng knew it was a done deal.

"My name is Jiang Cheng."

"Mr. Jiang.... what you are doing is very meaningful. Our paper mill is very concerned about the anti-kidnapping efforts, and we are willing to meet your paper needs, contributing our part."

Jiang Cheng immediately expressed immense joy, showering Director Xu with praise.

"I have long heard that Director Xu of the paper mill is farsighted, a person of noble character and integrity, a model for us to learn from."

"Not at all, you flatter me, you flatter me."

"You’re too modest."

...

After a round of flattery, Jiang Cheng took the approval slip and received a batch of paper from the paper mill.

Jiang Cheng took the paper directly back to the night school.

Principal Wang was heartbroken at the sight of this huge pile of paper.

How much did this cost!

Jiang Cheng saw Principal Wang’s expression and knew how he felt.

She leaned in and said, "Principal Wang, don’t be heartbroken, these didn’t cost a penny."

Principal Wang pursed his lips, skeptical.

"Cut it out! The paper mill is not naïve."

"If you don’t trust other directors, at least trust my excellence!"

Principal Wang: I want to plug your mouth.

Jiang Cheng smiled carelessly, but seeing the people around, she pulled Principal Wang aside to whisper.

The others just heard Principal Wang exclaim in surprise there.

"Is this even possible?"

"Why not, wouldn’t you be tempted?"

Principal Wang: "..."

Actually, thinking about it, he is tempted.

For an advanced unit title, he could cooperate closely with Jiang Cheng, and the exclusive title sponsorship by the paper mill is surely tempting.

They only provided paper.

But the rest of the work was all done by their night school.

Thinking of this, Principal Wang suddenly felt: their night school lost!

After Jiang Cheng’s explanation, she took teachers and students from the night school to make the flyers.

The students worked with great enthusiasm because several girls from each class were nearly abducted.

Students are the most passionate, especially when it happens around them; they become even more proactive.

As for the assisting teachers, although busy, they had no complaints.

Jiang Cheng is too good at organizing!

Half of the exam papers they use now come from her.

The night school collaborated closely to produce a batch of flyers.

Jiang Cheng did not blindly distribute them but followed the work units of the night school students, asking them to distribute them, preferably pasting them in factories.

Such positive promotion, no factory would refuse to paste them.

Thus, the first step of promotion was primarily completed.

The second step, it relied on the ’public’ power.

In the following days, Jiang Cheng got up early to chat at places like supply and marketing cooperatives where crowds gathered.

In less than three days, with the help of the aunts’ propaganda, the matter of the night school’s free performance got relatively known, not universally but at least halfway there.

Factory Director Fang from the textile factory went to work as usual but heard several times about the night school’s promotion, performance, honor, etc. before even entering the factory gate.

This made him curious, and he asked a few more questions.

After asking, Factory Director Fang suddenly remembered the report he read on the newspaper today.

A report on traffickers.

For a moment, thoughts churned in Factory Director Fang’s mind as newspapers largely represent higher policy.

Factory Director Fang suppressed his thoughts and went to the office, calling his secretary to pay attention to this matter.

The secretary returned at noon to report.

After listening, Factory Director Fang asked, "So many people knew? There will be newspaper follow-ups?"

"Yes."

Factory Director Fang pondered, it was quite a commotion.

"Go to the night school and say that our textile factory will send representatives to watch the performance to express our support."

"Yes."

The secretary quickly went out delivering the message.

When Principal Wang of the night school received the message, he calmly sent away the secretary from the textile factory.

He stumbled back to his office and called Jiang Cheng over.

When Jiang Cheng knocked and entered, she saw Principal Wang’s face filled with disbelief.

"What happened? Principal, did you strike gold?"

Principal Wang instantly speechless, looked at Jiang Cheng and said: "I wish I could!"

Jiang Cheng laughed playfully cooperatively: "Who doesn’t want to."

Principal Wang didn’t banter with Jiang Cheng, he informed her that Factory Director Fang from the textile factory sent word that they would send people to watch the performance.

"Jiang Cheng, how did..."

Words failed Principal Wang as he didn’t understand.

Jiang Cheng sat down calmly and spoke: "Invite them willingly, voluntarily accept, why should it be unbelievable."
