After watching the military parade all day, I was too excited to write anything, so my drafts are blank today.

Liu Jingze was experiencing both pain and pleasure, a fact unknown to Zhang Hongmei. After finishing two sesame seed cakes, he took his water cup and went to the office of the student union's finance department.

Zhang Hongmei arrived early today; only Zhang Pengfei was there and was tidying up the office.

"Hehe, sorry to leave you to do the cleaning alone. We'll split into groups later."

"No need, it's not hard work."

"That won't do. We can't let this become a habit. Whoever is right should be right. It's best to establish rules early on. We can't let it become a habit."

Zhang Pengfei remained silent. He knew the principle, but simply chose not to dwell on it.

"Vice Chairman, we can't go to the garment factory at noon today; the accountant hasn't returned yet."

"Okay, how about you go after school this afternoon? Isn't that dangerous? Forget it, let's do it tomorrow at noon. If you go too late, the accountant will be off work by then."

Zhang Hongmei went out to get a glass of water and came back to find everyone had arrived, including Shan Mianzhi.

"Since everyone is here, I'd like to say something before we start the meeting. From now on, our office will be cleaned every day. Senior Yu, I'm assigning this task to you. Make a duty roster, and none of us nine can be left out."

Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking to themselves, "This vice chairman is too clean."

Zhang Hongmei took out the study plan and handed it to Shan Mianzhi.

"Please review this, Chairman, and point out any areas that require revision."

Hao Dan smiled and leaned closer to Zhang Hongmei, "Vice President, Liu Jingze really stole the show at our school today. The top you designed attracted everyone's attention. I'm sure it will sell very well."

Yu Hongxia chimed in, "Yes, Vice Chairman, Liu Jingze is getting even more attention now. A first-year junior almost got into a fight because of him, but she only stopped when she saw Zhou Jianwei from afar."

Zhang Hongmei chuckled, "I miscalculated today; I didn't even get to see such a wonderful plot."

"Should I act it out for you again?" Liu Jingze felt a little sad. He was in deep trouble, and his little girl was actually laughing at him.

"Ah? Brother Jingze is here, please have a seat."

"Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you. I'm here to apply to join the finance team's external sales department. I want to go to Haishi."

"Well, that's up to the chairman, right? I definitely agree. What are your opinions?"

The others naturally had no objections. At this moment, Shan Mianzhi also put down the plan in his hand and looked at Liu Jingze with schadenfreude, "I agree too. Are you going to ask for leave to go?"

"Yes, I happened to have some business to attend to in Haishi, so I took care of it all at once."

"Okay, you write the application, and I'll sign it."

"In that case, let's not bother two people. Since Liu Jingze wants to do peripheral sales, then let's handle it all. The price for the sales department, including shipping, is 15.5 yuan per piece. I will give you the pattern of the clothes to take with you. Also, please ask the chairman to apply to the principal for an application letter to the clothing factory in another province or city. And when you leave, take 100 finished pieces with you, 70 yuan for men and 30 yuan for women."

"No problem, I guarantee I'll complete the task."

Shan Mianzhi smiled. "Our vice chairman truly lives up to his economics background; his mind is impressive. Don't worry, I'll handle things above. Jingze, are you sure you can go alone?"

"It would be even better if someone could come with me to the finance office." Actually, Liu Jingze would prefer Zhang Hongmei to go with him.

Wang Jingchang volunteered, "Okay, now that our senior year's academic courses are basically finished, of course I won't abandon my textbooks."

"Alright, go book the tickets. The earliest is Friday noon. As for the issue of advance payment, we can only leave that to the Chairman."

"No problem. I'll give you five thousand when Jingze leaves. If it's not enough, you'll have to figure it out yourself. Also, I'll leave my phone number. Call me if there's anything special."

"Chairman, you need to find a solution regarding the transportation issue. This will require additional costs."

"Okay, I'm here to assist your finance department. I'll do whatever you tell me."

"Look at what the Chairman is saying. It's because we need you to step in on all the problems we can't solve that we can demonstrate your importance."

"Is that so?"

"Of course. Since some people have already taken care of the outer areas, then Senior Yu, your task is the capital. The rest of the work remains the same. Let's all do our best!"

The issue of editing each subject is what we'll be discussing next today. Liu Jiefang, please circulate the list, and then we'll vote by show of hands.

The editor for Chinese Language and Literature was ultimately chosen by Tao Hongling, a third-year student from the Literature Department, while Chen Dongsheng, also a third-year student from the History Department, was chosen for History. Wu Wenguang, a third-year student from the Political Science Department, was selected for Politics.

Zhang Hongmei favored third-year students, as fourth-year students were about to graduate, and the second-year students who participated were not as outstanding as the third-year students.

"I think third-year students are the most suitable; they still have over a year and the ability to train newcomers. What are everyone's opinions?"

The group of people had no objections. And that's how the editors for each department were decided.

"Hao Dan, next you'll need to discuss this with the editors of each subject. I'll review the original versions of all the subjects. Make sure to explain the rigor and accuracy of the questions to them; I require that the answers be included. Also, we should find four people to review the papers, since we have a responsibility to this learning newspaper. How about we assign one reviewer for each subject?"

Shan Mianzhi raised his hand and said, "I agree with Vice Chairman Zhang's opinion. Let's choose from the remaining people."

Finally, four reviewers were selected: Zhang Hongmei for mathematics, Zhao Xiaodong (a senior from the Department of Literature), Wang Wencan (a senior from the Department of History), and Luo Jixin (a senior from the Department of Political Science).

"Since it's all decided, please sign first, then come with me to the principal's office. Hao Dan, come along."

Zhang Hongmei also handed the application for the official seal to Shan Mianzhi. Both of them signed their names, then signed the meeting minutes, and the meeting was adjourned.

The three of them arrived at the principal's office and were welcomed by the principal. Zhang Hongmei felt flattered.

"I've been waiting anxiously for you to arrive. Hurry up and show me the proposal."

After reading it, the principal slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed, "I can witness a miracle!" He then signed and stamped the document and issued a payment voucher.

"All the investment in the learning newspaper is borne by the school. Of course, the editors, chief editors, and editors-in-chief listed in the plan, as well as the reviewers, will all receive a commission of one-thousandth of the amount listed above."

I look forward to your success.

Zhang Hongmei then submitted the application for the official seal to the principal.

“Our Vice Chairman Zhang is very meticulous in her work. I agree. However, you don’t need to find someone to engrave the seal. I will do it myself, and I will also engrave a personal seal for our Vice Chairman Zhang Hongmei.”

"Thank you, Principal. We'll wait then."

The three walked out of the principal's office, and Hao Dan excitedly grabbed Zhang Hongmei's hand, "Vice Chairman, we have also taken the first successful step."
