Chapter 373 Direct Cash



On his first day at work, Liang Jinchun walked into the door of the art troupe with a smile on his face.

The security guard, Lao Liu, could tell at a glance that his leader was in a good mood, and hurriedly greeted him.

Sure enough, Liang Jinchun nodded to him happily and praised him for keeping the guard room tidy.

On the way to the office, the art troupe staff he met excitedly told him about seeing Shao Jingque and others on the Spring Festival Gala. They were full of praise, and Liang Jinchun felt relieved.

When he arrived at the office, the first thing he did was to call Director Zhou from the office and arrange the commendation meeting specially held for Shao Jingque and others.

Shao Jingque's job change requires a report application to the provincial art troupe, and the process will take some time, but their art troupe's own commendation meeting can be held as soon as possible.

Not only should it be opened, but it should be opened with great fanfare!

Taking advantage of the momentum of the first National Spring Festival Gala, they wanted to promote the reputation of their Ning City Art Troupe and let everyone know that the most anticipated program on the Spring Festival Gala was presented by their troupe, and that the best song was sung by their troupe's singers!

Liang Jinchun hadn't felt so proud for a long time. He kept urging Director Zhou to make the commendation meeting lively and impressive.

He also reminded her specifically that she should tie up the troupe's truck with red silk, have the gong and drum team stand on it to beat the gongs and drums, and drive the truck around the city.

When Director Zhou of the office heard this, he immediately asked what specifications the prizes at the commendation meeting would be.

Liang Jinchun was also unambiguous:

"Just give them cash and buy whatever they want!"

"First prize is 100 yuan each! Second prize is 50 yuan each! Third prize is 20 yuan each! Active participation award... as many as there are employees, 5 yuan each!"

Director Zhou was astonished when she heard this. She had been working in the art troupe for so many years, and this was the first time she saw Director Liang being so generous.

How could Liang Jinchun not be generous?

The provincial leaders had already tipped him off, because of the outstanding performance of the Ning City Art Troupe in the first Spring Festival Gala, in addition to the camera that Shao Jingque had requested before, the province decided to reward them with another 5,000 yuan!

This is not only a huge sum of money for the Ning City Art Troupe, but also a great honor.

Liang Jinchun felt that this honor, which was the first of its kind in history, must be shared with all the staff of the Ning City Art Troupe.

"Will the civil service positions be paid as well?"

"Hello! This is a collective honor for our Ning City Art Troupe. Let's all be happy!"

After receiving Liang Jinchun's instructions, Director Zhou walked out of the office happily.

While her leader didn't go back on his word, she had to arrange this matter quickly. Even the bonus for active participation was quite a lot, five yuan, which was enough for one person to buy five or six kilograms of pork.

Liang Jinchun picked up the phone with a proud look on his face, and was about to call Deputy Head Peng first to ask for instructions in advance about Shao Jingque's promotion. Just then, there was another knock on the door.

He put down the phone and responded:

"Come in."

The door opened and the person standing at the door was none other than the great hero in his mind at the moment - Shao Jingque!

When Liang Jinchun saw Shao Jingque, he immediately greeted her with a smile:

"It's Xiao Shao, come in quickly, what do you want to talk to me about? I was just looking for you to talk to me!"

Shao Jingque's smile was a little stiff. She wondered if Liang Jinchun could still smile as happily as he did now after hearing what she said.

"...Captain Liang, I have something important to report to you."

"Important? Don't worry, just sit down and talk slowly."

Liang Jinchun's attitude was very serious. Now Shao Jingque's position in his mind was second only to the provincial leaders and his wife. He must listen carefully to what she said was important.

Little did she know that the better Liang Jinchun's attitude was, the more difficult it was for Shao Jingque to say it. But no matter how difficult it was, she had to say that the photo studio would open tomorrow and her resignation was inevitable.

She forced a smile at Liang Jinchun, handed over the resignation letter in her hand, and went straight to the point:

"Captain Liang, thank you very much for your long-term help and care. Due to personal reasons, I can no longer work in the art troupe. I came here today to inform you of my resignation. I apologize for the trouble."

Liang Jinchun felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him directly on the forehead.

Shao Jingque is the first singer in the history of the Ning City Art Troupe to perform on the National Spring Festival Gala stage. What an honor! And yet she's saying she wants to resign?!

Liang Jinchun's heartbeat suddenly became so fast that it seemed to burst out of his throat. His neck felt like it was being clamped, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Xiao Shao, do you have any opinions about our group? If you have any opinions, you can raise them. As long as they are reasonable, I will definitely support you!"

"Or are you upset because I rejected that director's request to film a movie last time? Actually, I'm doing this for your own good. The film industry is very complicated, not as glamorous as you imagine. There are things behind the scenes..."

"...If you really want to go, we can discuss it properly without having to mention something as serious as resigning."

After thinking about it, he felt that Shao Jingque was doing a good job, and it was only that Xu from the Red Star Film Studio who showed up and caused trouble.

If that guy named Xu hadn't used the gimmick of making a movie to tempt Shao Jingque, why would she resign for no reason?

Liang Jinchun didn't dare to delay any longer, and quickly told Shao Jingque about the "surprises" he had prepared, and was determined to keep her at all costs.

"Xiao Shao, you may not know this, but the regiment is actually planning to promote you to the cadre ranks. It's just that the administrative process takes a long time, so I can't reveal it to you before it's finalized."

"But I guarantee with my character that this is absolutely not empty talk. If you don't believe me, you can go ask Director Zhou in the office. I told her about this when I came to work this morning and asked her to hurry up and go through the procedures."

"Before your position adjustment process is completed, our group will also hold a commendation meeting for you and give you bonuses. These things have been arranged. Please wait and see."

Before entering the office, Shao Jingque guessed that Liang Jinchun's reaction would be significant, so he was mentally prepared.

Now, after hearing Liang Jinchun say so much to her in one breath, she was of course moved, but the arrow had been shot and there was no turning back. She was determined to quit this job today.

"Captain Liang, thank you for your high regard for me, but I've resigned after careful consideration. This isn't a quick decision."

"If I hadn't wanted to stay and finish solving the remaining camera issues, I might have resigned much earlier. I also know that performing on the Spring Festival Gala is extremely important to the troupe, so I completed this task very seriously before resigning from you."

"Don't worry, I have no objection to our group, and I don't want to go make a movie. I just have other more important things to do. Please understand."
