Chapter 87
"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's go to the conference room to talk."
Even though Hu Zhenzhen's office is large, it still feels crowded with so many people.
When the environmental organization members arrived, she was the first to stand up and lead them into the meeting room.
"Our plan this time is to at least control the signs of soil desertification in the cities surrounding the Hala Desert."
The little girl mustered her courage and went up on stage again, using a PowerPoint presentation to explain her goals.
Hu Zhenzhen had actually heard these explanations once before, but she still patiently waited for her to explain them again.
After she finished her introduction and stepped down from the stage, Hu Zhenzhen turned on the microphone in front of her and explained the goals of the meeting to everyone in the conference room.
"I know that everyone here cares about the country and nature and wants to do something practical."
"The reason I invited everyone here today is because of a personal little reason. I wanted to arrange a small activity outside of the planned desert oasis."
Most people aren't happy when they hear about extra activities.
Things that happen outside of our plans sometimes mean wasting time and causing trouble.
But when Hu Zhenzhen said this, not one of the people present was unwilling to participate.
It wasn't that they were afraid of Hu Zhenzhen or unwilling to disobey her.
Rather, they knew in their hearts that Hu Zhenzhen's past actions had brought her considerable benefits, so what she was about to do was also likely to bring unexpected benefits to everyone.
With this subconscious impression in mind, when Hu Zhenzhen said these words, everyone's first reaction was actually happiness.
"Mr. Hu, is it a charity event?"
Before Hu Zhenzhen could even speak, someone below couldn't hold back and asked.
"It does involve charity, but please rest assured, it's not about asking you to donate more money."
Hu Zhenzhen crossed her hands on the table and smiled as she spoke.
“It’s not enough for just a few of us to be aware of protecting and improving the soil. I hope to spread the word so that more people will notice this in their daily lives.”
Hu Zhenzhen had barely begun when some people guessed what she was planning to do and instantly became interested.
Publicity is something that brings you recognition.
Even if the public doesn't pay attention to the names of these entrepreneurs who provided the funding, the authorities will.
President Hu's words clearly mean he's giving them a chance!
Some people understood early, while others didn't. They listened intently to Hu Zhenzhen's words, still trying to figure out why the people around them were happy.
"I recently held a good deeds award event, and I can take advantage of the event to promote the desert oasis project and let everyone see the soil that has begun to change."
“I will allocate a special fund to hold a new event.”
“We send people who are interested in desertification control to the site, and if they can persist for a year, we will give them a sum of money.”
At this point, those who hadn't understood were completely bewildered.
"Mr. Hu, is there anything we can do about this?"
Hu Zhenzhen looked at him and found that his face was completely innocent, and he was genuinely full of doubt.
"Of course, Mr. Zheng, everyone needs to put in the effort to supervise this aspect. If there are any cronies taking advantage of the situation, then this is unacceptable."
"This matter is to be made public. We can even select suitable hard-working people to record a long-term documentary-style variety show."
After Hu Zhenzhen explained it this way, Mr. Zheng finally understood.
His face, a beat slow, began to light up with excitement. "Mr. Hu, please continue."
Hu Zhenzhen has probably said everything she wanted to say, summarizing it in two sentences.
"This is a long-term project. As for the variety show, we can all contribute funds and do it together."
This kind of positive variety show could even be given a try on CCTV.
Hu Zhenzhen could have funded it all herself, but she brought them along, which clearly meant she wanted to have fun with them.
Mr. Zheng was the last to understand, but he was also the most excited.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hu, we can definitely handle this well."
After he spoke up, it seemed inappropriate for the others not to express their opinions, so they gradually spoke up as well.
However, Hu Zhenzhen only heard one reliable question related to the event.
"Mr. Hu, could you elaborate on the supervision? Besides those selected for documentary filming, how should the people sent to combat desertification be supervised?"
Hu Zhenzhen had also thought about this problem.
"You can set up anonymous reporting on Weibo."
“Everyone suspected of having connections will inevitably slip up in their daily lives. To avoid this from happening and lowering public trust in us, this matter must be handled fairly and transparently.”
"If any of you are short-sighted and try to insert someone with connections, you will be dealt with in the same way. I will state this in the contract, and that person will have to withdraw from the entire project."
Hu Zhenzhen made her statement very definitive.
After all, the attitude of those above determines the actions of those below.
If these decision-makers don't take it seriously, then the so-called fairness, impartiality, and transparency are nothing but a joke.
Only when everyone present takes this seriously and things are truly implemented will such troublesome issues be avoided.
"Withdraw from all plans."
This sentence is ingrained in everyone's mind.
Everyone understands what Hu Zhenzhen means by this.
If you want to do charity work while also enjoying soup with Hu Zhenzhen, then you have to follow her rules.
After Hu Zhenzhen finished speaking, she gave everyone time to think before communicating with people from environmental organizations.
"Team Leader Li, I'd like to set up a dedicated experimental field in the area and send those who want to try it there. Could you help me find a suitable location?"
After all, this involves filming and work, and these people are novices.
It's not realistic to put them in the most serious situations as soon as they arrive.
Planting trees is something that some young people today need to learn.
Hu Zhenzhen has no intention of making this documentary variety show a show, nor does she intend to send these people to waste saplings.
Everyone who has signed up and wants to work for this bonus must learn the basics and know how to do it before they will be assigned to other places.
"Of course, Mr. Hu."
Not only did Hu Zhenzhen pay for it, but now she also wants to promote it and send people over.
These actions are all beneficial to the plans of environmental organizations, and they are overjoyed.
"Don't worry, we will arrange for someone to teach these newbies. We won't let them jump right into it."
With her assurance, Hu Zhenzhen felt much more at ease.
"Then I'll leave it to you. Plants are very precious, and we can't let them go to waste because of this."
When it comes to this matter, the environmental organization members can finally stand up straight.
"That's for sure, Mr. Hu. Don't worry, we won't waste a single blade of grass. Once the jujube and sea buckthorn plants we planted bear fruit, we'll send them to you."
Plants don't just survive once they're planted.
How long one can live depends on both human effort and fate.
When the weather is favorable, the survival rate is often higher.
If you encounter extremely bad weather, the things you plant today can die tomorrow.
Therefore, people who do this job will subconsciously cherish every living plant.
Compared to planting, straw checkerboard sand barriers are easier to learn.
New recruits who have just arrived there will be given priority to be exposed to the grass grid.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you."
When Hu Zhenzhen turned her gaze back, she was face to face with President Zheng.
He didn't know what he was thinking, but he was so happy that he smiled like a little Maitreya Buddha, his eyes turning into slits.
"Mr. Hu, when shall we begin this project?"
Mr. Zheng is already getting impatient.
Hu Zhenzhen smiled slightly upon hearing this.
"President Zheng, please don't rush. After all, this matter involves many things, and things must be done step by step."
Jianghu Films has produced group variety shows before, and they also collaborated with Lotus Platform to produce the very successful "King of Singers".
In the eyes of others, it already shows a certain level of variety show skills.
Several CEOs who had considered the matter for a while quickly made their decisions.
"Then let's talk about the contract. After all, it's almost the season for desertification control. If we don't do it now, we'll have to wait another year."
The rather composed Mr. Zhang brought up the donation contract first.
This is exactly what the environmental organizations were thinking.
As soon as he said that, Team Leader Li immediately replied, "Actually, we brought a contract with us today. You can take a look and if you think it's acceptable, we can borrow Mr. Hu's printer and finish this today."
Things progressed very quickly.
Team Leader Li brought his team today hoping that they might be able to get General Manager Hu to sign the contract.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zhenzhen gave everyone a surprise when they arrived.
Team Leader Li secretly counted the people in the office.
There are twelve CEOs in total.
The amount of this donation alone may be enough to achieve significant results in desertification control near the Hala Desert.
She visibly became more energetic.
The girl, who was initially feeling down, suddenly felt much better because of this incident.
She stood up and said, "I'll go print for everyone, please wait a moment."
She ran out quickly.
While waiting for the contract, Hu Zhenzhen brought it up herself.
"Many of you are not familiar with each other, so why don't we create a group chat?"
This statement immediately garnered a response.
Mr. Zheng was the most enthusiastic, saying, "I'll create a group chat!"
The face-to-face group chat feature eliminates most of the hassle.
The group chat was created very quickly.
Hu Zhenzhen had only been in the chat for a few seconds when she saw that General Manager Zheng had quickly changed the name of the group chat.
'Desertification Control Project Team'
The name sounds quite respectable.
Hu Zhenzhen had only thought about it for two seconds, and before she could even exit the group chat, she saw that President Zheng had sent a message in the group.
After just one glance, Hu Zhenzhen couldn't help but close her eyes for a few seconds.
For a moment, she didn't know whether to praise her subordinate's ability or regret giving the order to create a new meme.
On the phone screen, Mr. Zheng's message quickly received a response.
Underneath Hu Zhenzhen's "Goddess of Wealth" emoji, there appeared a "bye-bye" emoji and a prayer gesture.
As soon as Hu Zhenzhen opened her eyes, the corner of her eye twitched involuntarily.
'If she had known this would happen, she would never have believed that silly thing about emojis being quickly replaced!'
