While Shen Qingqing was talking quietly to Zheng Qiuheng, she heard her own name behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Zheng's father talking to her father.
"Don't worry, after my dad went back last time, he kept saying that he regretted not being able to visit your parents in person to thank them. Now that he sees your parents today, he definitely wants to thank them properly." Zheng Qiuheng saw that she had been looking back for a long time, so he also turned around and saw his father's happy face, and explained to Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing nodded; she wasn't worried.
She felt a little guilty because she had told her mother not to tell her father about her act of bravery, fearing that he might be distracted and have an accident while driving.
Then I forgot to mention it later.
It's hard to imagine how her father would react if he found out from someone else that his daughter had done such dangerous things.
However, in the short time she watched, her father didn't seem to react much, and even seemed to be having a pleasant conversation with Mr. Zheng.
Shen Qingqing thought about it for a moment and decided to ignore it. After all, her mother was involved in this matter, and with her mother around, nothing would happen!
Having already gone through the award ceremony for the city-level competition, Shen Qingqing was very familiar with the award ceremony for the provincial-level competition.
Award winners of the Excellence Award, Third Prize, Second Prize, and First Prize went on stage to receive their awards in turn. However, to Shen Qingqing's surprise, the prize money was also distributed along with the awards.
The only difference is the way the awards are presented. Students receive the prizes for the Excellence Award themselves, while students who receive the first, second, or third prizes only receive trophies, and their parents receive the prizes and cash prizes.
Shen Qingqing sat below, watching with curiosity as Shen Rongzhou and Li Xunli received their awards, and felt a little amused.
Because her parents were so reserved, their hands and feet were as stiff as wooden figures.
However, this kind of behavior is not particularly unusual, because many parents are like this.
After receiving the award, it was time for the sponsors to give their commercials.
However, after the commercial break ended, Shen Qingqing gained a more comprehensive understanding of what Ye Ziqi had said earlier: that this year's sponsor was very generous.
Because there's a performance coming up!
Even when the performance started, a long line filed in from the entrance.
Shen Qingqing twitched her nose twice, smelling the enticing fragrance.
Watching a show while eating at a banquet—where did this sponsor find their planner?!
This plan is absolutely brilliant!
After watching for a while, Shen Qingqing realized that the performance was also full of advertisements.
The prizes sponsored by the main sponsor are given to the winning contestants, but the prize money is mostly paid by the main sponsor, and then jointly awarded by multiple sponsors. The advertisements added to the performances also belong to other sponsors.
While eating, Shen Qingqing watched the program with great interest and finally understood what it meant to invite the parents of the first, second, and third prize winners to attend the awards ceremony.
This format piqued Shen Qingqing's interest, and she wondered if she could arrange Xunqing's advertisements or her uncle's gift box advertisements in the same way.
We ate while watching the performance, and before we knew it, it was almost one o'clock.
"No, no, no—" Shen Qingqing shook her head and pushed away the smiley face potato cakes that Zheng Qiuheng was about to put into her bowl. "I can't eat anymore, I can't eat anymore."
Zheng Qiuheng sighed softly with some regret and threw the rejected potato cake into the bone dish.
The host guided the crowd to leave the venue in an orderly manner.
Shen Qingqing tugged at her mother's clothes and slurped up her Doudou yogurt as she walked out.
The ultimate goal of this journey had been achieved; the train rumbled to take them to Guangcheng, and then rumbled back to Chaocheng.
As soon as she got home, Li Xunli immediately began busying herself with spring cleaning and New Year's shopping.
There's only one week left until Chinese New Year.
If this were in later times, her parents would already be discussing when to go back to her father's hometown.
However, since Shen Hong is still young and they don't have a car, if they want to go back to her father's hometown, they will have to take a bus, and they probably won't be able to take two-year-old Shen Hong with them.
So she simply gave up on the plan to go back to her father's hometown for the next few years and decided to wait until Shen Hong was older.
Shen Qingqing was happy about this because the weather in her father's hometown was even colder than in Chaocheng. When it was cold in Chaocheng, the temperature usually dropped to as low as 10 degrees Celsius, but the temperature in her father's hometown was almost always as low as 3 or 4 degrees Celsius.
In her past life, Shen Qingqing would go back to her father's house every year, and every year her ears, hands, and feet would get frostbite. It was hot, painful, and extremely uncomfortable. So after starting junior high school, Shen Qingqing stopped liking to go back.
After seeing the advertising concept from the awards ceremony, Shen Qingqing would lock herself in her room whenever she had free time to think about writing an advertising plan suitable for her uncle's company.
It's okay if her uncle can't come up with the money to invest in advertising, because there's still Wu Jingyuan, right?
Even if all else fails, she can contribute her own money to the investment!
If you don't build brand awareness, you'll only have a few business lines no matter how hard you try.
After several days of revisions, I finally got the finished product on the 29th day of the Lunar New Year!
Shen Qingqing looked at the stack of A4 papers filled with writing on the table with a refreshed expression. After clipping them together with a long-tail clipper, she pressed them under her textbook, planning to take them with her when she went to her grandmother's house for dinner on New Year's Eve.
At 2 p.m. on New Year's Eve, Li Xunli started arranging for Shen Qingqing and Shen Yangyang to take a bath and change into new clothes.
To be honest, Shen Qingqing couldn't remember what her mother bought her for the New Year when she was in first grade. It was so long ago that when Shen Qingqing saw her mother take out the new clothes she had bought for her from the closet, she couldn't recall if her New Year's clothes in her previous life were the same set.
But one thing is for sure: this set of clothes for this lifetime doesn't look cheap.
After all, at this time in her previous life, her parents were still working themselves to the bone in that run-down clothing factory and barely making any money.
I've accumulated over ten thousand yuan in my life.
The few hundred yuan prize money she won in the provincial competition alone was enough to buy a nice outfit for the three of them.
Shen Rongzhou also received his salary and year-end bonus in advance, bringing back a total of more than 7,000 yuan, as well as New Year's goods such as grain, oil, rice and flour.
After taking a bath, Shen Qing put on her new boots, feeling refreshed, and stood at the door waiting to go out.
Standing with my hands on my hips, looking at my clean and tidy home, now filled with New Year's goods, I felt a surge of pride and happiness.
Li Xunli, unusually dressed, wore a wool coat and came out looking beautiful. Holding Shen Hong, who was dressed like a little baby, she waved her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go out!"
"Let's go! Let's go to your grandma's house for New Year's Eve dinner!"
Shen Rongzhou, dressed in a well-tailored casual suit with a long fleece trench coat, led his family out the door in a lively and cheerful manner.
