The magazine's car was parked not far away. Seeing Wang Yan waving, they drove straight over.
The soldiers at the gate just said that they are not allowed to park inside the cordon.
Wang Yan went up and opened all the car doors and the trunk. Liu Zi looked around and all she could see were watermelons.
The two were driving a minivan, and the watermelons were picked directly from the field, so they were cheap. Wang Yan naturally had the watermelon farmer fill the van to the brim.
There are plenty of people here, so we're not worried about wasting food.
"My goodness, you're such a fool!" Liu Zi said in a newly learned Anshi dialect.
Even if she ate it every day, at every meal, she still couldn't finish all these watermelons!
Wang Yan rubbed his head; now that he looked at it, it really was a bit too much.
"It's alright, there are plenty of you, you can finish it." He even tried to make up for it himself.
Liu Zi thought for a moment and decided not to waste it.
"Political Commissar, keep fifteen for me, and send the rest to the mess hall! Let's have something fresh."
"This..." Political Commissar Tang hesitated.
"Let's just consider it a purchase! You can calculate the price in a bit."
"Give money? Who are you going to give it to?" Liu Zi said speechlessly.
"They gave it to me, so I'm giving it to you as a gift, to cover your lodging and food expenses during this time!"
"Yes, yes! It's free."
Wang Yan thought that if he accepted money, wouldn't he become a melon vendor who sold melons from a bus?
With the two sides at an impasse, the driver and Wang Yan exchanged a glance and then began unloading the watermelons.
"We need to hurry back; it's too far from here. Our boss only gave us the morning; we have to work in the afternoon!"
It must be said that Wang Yan and his friends picked really good watermelons. They had light green rinds, and the largest ones weighed over 20 kilograms. They looked very tempting.
"Political Commissar, where's my car?"
Seeing that there were more and more watermelons on the ground, Liu Zi, to prevent her watermelons from being spoiled by cadmium and sun exposure, immediately and without hesitation asked the political commissar for a car and people.
And so, at Liu Zi's insistence, watermelons, magazines, braised pork, and roast chicken were all loaded onto the car. Liu Zi got into the jeep and drove back to the family compound, where everyone received a large watermelon from Liu Zi.
Two days later, the scheduled lecture time for Liu Zi finally arrived.
To her surprise, after discussing it, the captain and political commissar decided to hold the class in the auditorium.
Liu Zi's legs trembled slightly after just one glance.
How many people will come!
The battalion commander and political commissar were setting a trap for her, without giving her any advance notice.
Actually, Liu Zi wronged the two men. It was mainly because the teacher who had trained the soldiers in makeup had told them about Liu Zi's skills, and everyone wanted to come and see for themselves. So, in the past two days, the special forces brigade received many calls saying they wanted to send people over to learn together.
Later, I heard that the lecturer had brought over many valuable materials from other places for his lectures, which attracted even more people.
In the end, there were too many people and no place to sit, so they had to open the main auditorium.
No wonder the people who saw her these past two days kept reminding her to prepare well for her lecture. She originally thought they didn't trust her to give the lecture, but she didn't expect it to be this kind of distrust.
Fortunately, Liu Zi was well-prepared, and with her knowledge from two lifetimes, it was just a lesson!
Liu Zi kept giving herself mental preparation, which helped her calm down.
She didn't have time to confront the brigade leader and political commissar right now; she just needed to go over the procedures again so she wouldn't stumble later.
However, her class included many colorful pictures, which she originally intended to pass around for everyone to see. But in this large auditorium with hundreds of people, it would probably take half a morning to pass them around once.
If there are difficulties, of course you should go to the brigade leader and political commissar. They caused her trouble, so of course you should let them solve it themselves.
Shi Yu then stepped forward and said that the military region had recently issued a new batch of office equipment, including a projector.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zi immediately asked Shi Yu to fetch it.
But when she saw the object, she was immediately dumbfounded. It was not the projector she knew!
This should be called a slide projector!
Below is a light bulb, separated by a piece of glass in the middle. Then, using the principle of a convex lens, the film is projected onto a large screen.
All the photos she prepared were useless.
These photos were taken by her using a camera to quickly print out magazine photos for a lecture, and then she asked Shi Yu to have them printed out urgently.
Without photos, no matter how vividly she describes it, people can't truly understand.
"What should we do?"
Political Commissar Tang was also a little anxious. This matter was no longer just Liu Zi's own; so many comrades from brother units had come over, and if things went wrong, it might become a laughing stock.
Liu Zi didn't speak. She was also trying to find a solution. It wasn't realistic to use electronic devices now; she couldn't even connect to the internet.
Suddenly, she had a brilliant idea: when she was developing the photos, she seemed to have brought the negatives back with her.
Liu Zi immediately rummaged through her briefcase, pulled out a brown envelope from her side pocket, and opened it to find the negatives she had casually placed inside.
At this point, we don't care about color or not; as long as it has a shape, let everyone feel it for themselves!
Finally, the scheduled start date for classes arrived.
Liu Zi tugged at her clothes, smoothed her hair, let out a soft breath, and walked onto the stage.
Applause immediately erupted from the audience.
After placing her folder on the makeshift teaching table, Liu Zi bowed to the audience.
Hello everyone, my name is Liu Zi!
Another round of applause followed.
"It's a great honor to stand here and give a lecture to you all today. I thought there would only be a dozen or so students, so I agreed to the suggestion from the brigade leader and Political Commissar Tang. I never expected that this would be such a trap for me." Liu Zi made a helpless little expression, which made everyone in the audience laugh.
"I've never been a lecturer before, and I wasn't well-prepared, so please forgive me if there's anything I didn't do well."
Another round of encouraging applause erupted from the audience.
"Without further ado, let's begin."
Based on the geographical location of the Northwest Military Region, Liu Zi mainly introduced the ethnic costumes, music, and film styles of the surrounding countries.
Due to their religious beliefs, their clothing has a strong regional style, and Liu Zi also analyzed how to conceal their whereabouts based on her own insights.
The previously relaxed atmosphere in the audience immediately turned serious.
Of course, when introducing their clothing, Liu Zi didn't forget the magazines Wang Yan had brought her, several of which came from a large country in the north.
Liu Zi nodded with a pencil on the slide projector: "The people of this country admire men with strong, muscular physiques; they find them very attractive."
After discussing neighboring countries, Liu Zi then introduced Hong Kong and Taiwan, which she was more familiar with, as well as Japan, South Korea, and the United States.
In particular, well-known celebrities from various regions were projected onto the big screen using slide projectors.
