Having lived two lives, this was the first time Chu Yu had experienced the treatment of a provincial top scorer. The TV station staff arrived early in the morning and asked her fairly standard questions, such as what good study habits she had, what advice she would give to her juniors, and what her family situation was.
There was a TV station that had previously planned to work with the genius writer. Chu Yu knew the staff there, since they were still in Deyang, following up on the Mao Guangyu case.
This year's provincial top scorer was a complete surprise, not coming from a city known for its strong education system, but from Deyang, a city known for its weak education system, which shocked everyone.
It takes a whole day to get here from the provincial capital. Since there are no local staff members from the provincial TV station in Deyang, they called these two people over.
The two knew that Chu Yu's mother ran a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop. This shop had been featured in the newspaper and caused quite a stir throughout the province. The strong mother, who was divorced and started her own business, was kicked out of her home with her daughter, but she was still able to take good care of her daughter while running her business and help her daughter win the crown.
Such reporting is undoubtedly more in-depth and more engaging.
The young reporter knew quite a bit about Chu Yu and dug quite deep. They also interviewed Shu Hui and a few others, and asked the regular customers of the roujiamo shop. They learned that Chu Yu often helped his classmates with their English listening skills, and that the classmates loved to gather at the roujiamo shop to discuss their studies.
The young reporter was also moved, feeling that this was a warm and welcoming store with many stories worth exploring.
Most of the students who frequently come to this store to study have been admitted to schools. Isn't that enough to illustrate the point?
Perhaps it was the gentle tolerance of Shu Hui and the others, or the understanding and support of the diners, or even Chu Yu's selfless help.
The young reporter incorporated his own thoughts into the report, making the article touching and sincere. Television news is timely, and people habitually watch the news every year when college entrance exam scores are released.
How did you do on the exam this year? Which school is the top scorer in? How amazing is the top scorer?
She was interviewed on the evening news.
"Mom, my house is on TV!" Xiao Jiang pointed at the television.
Chu Yu is photogenic. On a color television screen, she appears fair-skinned, beautiful, youthful, and charming with a gentle smile. Moreover, she has the aura of being the "provincial champion," so her appearance is sure to cause quite a stir.
"Sis, you're so beautiful! When my classmates heard that you were the top scorer in the college entrance exam, they thought I was bragging!" Chu Chu said proudly.
"The pressure is immense. What if I don't get into university next year? People will say, 'Your sister has such good grades, how come you didn't get in?'" Chu Xiang muttered.
It's already mid-to-late July. By the time the admission notice arrives, it will be early August. Chu Xiang's book is about to be released, and Chu Yu will have to go to Beijing to discuss the book signing with the publisher.
Give Chu Xiang a makeover, label her a "genius female writer," market her well, hold some events to generate buzz, get her in the news, give her a few interviews, and sell her book to Xinhua bookstores in major cities.
With this kind of widespread promotion, Chu Xiang's name will definitely become famous.
Chu Yu just wanted to help her sister become famous. If Chu Chu needed her to help, she would do her best. If there was a shortcut, why go through all the trouble of climbing a mountain? Why make Chu Xiang take the manuscript and beg one publisher after another when it could be done with a little money?
She wanted to use the same methods as later generations of internet celebrities to package Chu Xiang.
Now she's a well-known author, and next she'll be a well-known screenwriter. If she can adapt her books into TV series and promote them to the market, Chu Xiang's future is secure.
"That electronics store went crazy for some reason and hung up a banner saying that to celebrate the owner's girlfriend getting into university, all electronics would be 10% off!"
"Is that so? What does '10% off' mean?"
"It was originally 1000 yuan, but now it's only 900 yuan, saving you a full 100 yuan!"
"I just need to buy a TV, I'll go take a look now. The shop owner's girlfriend is such a nice person, she got into university on her first try."
Chu Yu was speechless. Donglin Electric Appliances' event was a huge success, causing a sensation throughout Deyang. It was the hottest time of summer, and there were so many people buying electric fans and televisions that the appliance store was almost packed to the brim. The customers were all grateful to the boss's girlfriend.
I felt she was a female bodhisattva I had never met.
Chu Yu wants to buy three washing machines, one for her own family and one for her second uncle's family.
With many children in the family, Deng Fangping and Shu Hui were already exhausted from taking care of the shop. Chu Xiang and the others washed their own clothes, but they were all in school and only had more time on weekends, so most of the housework had to be done by the adults.
Household chores are not easy, and Chu Yu doesn't want Shu Hui to be too tired. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. What's wrong with spending some money to improve happiness?
We already have a TV and an electric fan. If we buy a washing machine, and business is even better next year, Shu Hui will be willing to spend more electricity, and Chu Yu will buy an air conditioner for the house.
In addition, the number of employees in several stores has increased, and Chu Yu wants to buy one for the employees' dormitory.
If Chu Yu were to ask Dai Donglin for money, he wouldn't charge her, so she simply asked the employees of Xibao to buy it.
Isn't it 10% off today? Such a great discount, why not take advantage of it? I'll buy five more electric fans for Xibao.
Chu Yu gave the money to Xibao's accountant and instructed her to purchase home appliances. The accountant was overjoyed to hear that there would be electric fans and washing machines available.
"Boss, you're so generous! There's no better boss in the world than you."
The accountant has a really sweet tongue; she's determined to cling to Chu Yu's coattails.
Chu Yu found it amusing and then added:
"It's hot, so every day the store buys some soft drinks and popsicles, and also cooks some mung bean soup for the employees to cool off. The money for these purchases is recorded in the company account, and they need my or my second uncle's signature for reimbursement."
An accountant is a master at spending money; how could she possibly refuse something that benefits her personally?
To be honest, Chu Yu and Shu Aiguo are really good bosses. They are generous with their pay, and their employees' salaries are two or three times higher than those of other companies. On top of that, there are also subsidies and bonuses.
