When Zhang Hongmei arrived at the office, everyone else was already there.

"I have good news to share. The clothing deal has been finalized. Here is the detailed plan. Take a look. We'll need to redistribute the work in a bit."

"Cheng Guangxu, give me your project proposal."

After each of the eight people read the plan, their previous disdain vanished without a trace. Zhang Hongmei's flawless plan impressed these proud and arrogant young men.

"Senior Wang, what about your application?"

Zhang Hongmei took the application and read it through. "Everyone has read it. The school has agreed to provide half of the funding. The chairman will be here soon. Let's use this time to discuss the study newspaper."

I'm not sure if our school's printing press can produce high-quality newspapers.

Wang Jingchang said, "Our school usually prints its own exam papers. I think printing them in newspapers might be problematic."

"Then, could we go to the newspaper office to print it? Do any of us know anyone who works at the newspaper?"

Hao Dan raised her hand. "Vice Chairman. I can go ask."

"Then let's discuss the plan for the study group. Senior Yu, you can take notes."

Liu Jiefang, who has always kept a low profile, spoke up: "I think we should start printing some of the Study Newspaper in schools first, in the middle and high schools around us, to try it out."

“I think we can send it back to our alma mater; that would also be a way to promote it,” Du Mingqi said.

"Wait a minute, we've only discussed sales, but what about production? Does anyone volunteer to be the editor-in-chief? Or recommend someone capable?"

Wang Jingchang pondered for a moment and said, “Vice Chairman, I think you should be the editor-in-chief. Your reputation is too great. Just saying that you are the top scholar editor-in-chief will achieve twice the result with half the effort.”

"I have absolutely no idea how to do the job of editor-in-chief. I can be responsible for setting the exam questions for the subject, and I'll choose someone else as the editor."

We also need to edit the various sections, meaning we're short one chief editor and four editors.

Standing at the door, Shan Mianzhi looked at the calm, collected, and articulate Zhang Hongmei and felt that he should take her as his own.

Zhang Hongmei noticed Shan Mianzhi and disliked the look in his eyes earlier.

"We welcome the Chairman to our meeting."

Several people applauded. Shan Mianzhi sat down and glanced at Zhang Hongmei with a half-smile.

"Please continue, everyone. I'm here to witness the birth of the Learning Newspaper."

Liu Jiefang frowned. "Vice Chairman, let's select the editor-in-chief and editors from among the students."

Hao Dan raised her hand and said, "Vice Chairman, may I try the job of editor-in-chief? My family members all work at the newspaper, so I have experience and a foundation in this job."

"Alright, Hao Dan will be the tentative editor-in-chief of the Study Newspaper."

"Vice Chairman, you're going to be the editor of the Mathematics Learning Newspaper?"

Cheng Guangxu was eager to try, but then he remembered that the real math expert was there, so he immediately asked for clarification.

"As I just said, I was only responsible for setting the questions; the editor of the Mathematics Newspaper appointed Cheng Guangxu."

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

"Do we have any more candidates who wish to apply for the other three subjects?"

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Zhang Hongmei said, "Then, Senior Liu Jiefang, go and issue a notice asking everyone to enthusiastically apply for the positions of editor for Chinese, Politics, and History. The final selection will be decided at a meeting."

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

Zhang Hongmei handed the plan for the Study Newspaper to Shan Mianzhi. "Chairman, please take a look. This is the plan for the Study Newspaper. The only part that cannot be finalized today is printing. Hao Dan will be in charge of contacting the printing company."

Shan Mianzhi took the plan and started reading it. Then, he propped his elbows on the table, clasped his hands together, and said, "This plan isn't very appealing. Vice Chairman, you should write it. With your writing skills, it's sure to pass."

Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes several times in her mind. "The chairman is too kind. This plan is already very good, but I will give it a try if the chairman asks me to."

“Vice Chairman, I would like to see a more comprehensive and convincing plan.”

Zhang Hongmei turned to Hao Dan and asked, "Hao, when is the earliest you can make a decision?"

Sunday morning.

"Where shall we meet on Sunday afternoon?"

"Vice Chairman, shall we meet at the school gate?"

"How about we all gather here for an hour on Sunday? Anyone with special circumstances can ask for leave now."

Everyone shook their heads. Only three female students were day students; the rest were boarders, so time wasn't an issue.

Zhang Hongmei looked at Shan Mianzhi with a half-smile and said, "Chairman, I will give you the study plan on Monday."

"I have high expectations and great confidence in the current finance team. You have given me hope, so please continue to work hard."

Several people applauded. But Shan Mianzhi didn't leave; he remained seated calmly.

Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes a few more times in her mind. "Then let's finalize the clothing sales work."

I am the supervisor, and sales are fully managed by Yu Hongxia and Wang Jingchang. Senior Wang is in charge of external relations.

Accountant Cheng Guangxu, cash custodian Li Yunpeng, you two are also required to regularly post the financial status on the bulletin board. This report requires my signature.

Hao Dan is in charge of statistics, Liu Jiefang is the liaison officer, and the remaining two are responsible for overall supervision, the entire peripheral market, and market research. This is the most demanding job. If you're not comfortable with it, please let me know. I don't know everyone very well, and we're all new to this job. We can adjust things if there are any issues.

Okay, that's the arrangement. As for the fundraising, we'll have to trouble Chairman Shan. I'll give the principal's list to Cheng Guangxu; everyone should contact him regarding funding matters from now on. Of course, to get money from Li Yunpeng, you'll need my signature. Does anyone have any objections?

None of them had any objections; they all shook their heads in agreement.

Shan Mianzhi raised his hand. "Vice Chairman, I'd like to discuss the shareholding issue. We currently have a funding shortfall of 5,561.50 yuan. I propose we divide it into 50 shares. Each share would be 111.23 yuan. What's your opinion, Vice Chairman?"

“I agree.” Zhang Hongmei had no objections. Giving this job to Shan Mianzhi was for his own good, and they both knew it.

None of them had any objections.

"Furthermore, shares will be prioritized for our student union members, and this will be announced on the bulletin board later. Everyone is welcome to discuss it."

Yu Hongxia handed the meeting minutes to Zhang Hongmei.

Zhang Hongmei carefully reviewed the record and was extremely satisfied. Yu Hongxia was truly remarkable; she had grasped the key points very well. She picked up a pen, signed her name, and then handed it to Shan Mianzhi, indicating that he should sign it.

After that, everyone present signed their names.

“From now on, all our meetings must have minutes. Our group deals with money, so I hope everyone will be careful.”
