Chapter 264: One Step, Two Deaths (Part 3)
“You should develop a good habit of summarizing every day, to see what you have gained, what you lack, and whether you have strayed far from your original self. In fact, our enemy is not your colleagues, not the staff of other channel groups downstairs, not other city TV stations or foreign channels, but yourselves. Constantly surpassing yourself is a particularly challenging and interesting thing. I hope you will love this game!”
The excitement and pride on everyone's faces gradually faded. Looking at the leaders who were a few years younger than them, their faces were expressionless. They were not as happy as they were when they achieved some results.
They blushed a little, nodded vigorously, and then carefully wrote these words on the cover of their notebooks, ready to take them out every day to examine themselves. Fame and wealth are indeed a great temptation to people, but without dreams, direction and persistence, people will lack vitality and excellence, and can only be mediocre.
They choose to stand here, don't they want to realize their own value and be admired by others by standing on the shoulders of giants?
When it was time to get off work, An Zhixia announced the end of the meeting, and a group of people walked downstairs in a mighty procession. There was almost no one on the other floors.
"My dear grandson, here," when Mrs. Jiang saw An Zhixia coming out, she leaned her head out of the car and waved at her, and An Zhiqiu also smiled, opened the car door and walked out of the driver's seat.
"Brother, you can drive now?" An Zhixia asked in surprise. She leaned over to take a look and said hello to Old Lady Jiang. "Grandma, are you two the only ones in the car? You are really brave, aren't you?"
An Zhiqiu scratched his head and said with a smile: "Driving is not difficult. Didn't I often drive a tractor in the countryside before? Just step on the accelerator and the brake, change gears, and hold the steering wheel. I practiced for a whole day and didn't even have time to eat lunch. I thought it would be difficult to borrow someone else's car all the time, so I had to learn it early.
Seeing that I was doing well in my studies, grandma suggested picking you up after get off work."
"I can drive a tractor too..." An Zhixia said with bright eyes. Imagine that in the future, it would take at least a year or two to get a driver's license. Even if you get one, you still need to practice for a long time before you dare to drive under the supervision of various cameras on the busy roads.
She originally wanted to dress up like a one-month student, but her brother gave her a little surprise. She couldn't wait to show off her racing car expert vest!
An Zhiqiu thought that he could do it, and the girl must have learned it very well, so he smiled and nodded normally and said, "Let's find an open place for you to practice when we get back."
Old Mrs. Jiang was afraid of damaging her granddaughter's self-confidence, so she comforted her by saying, "Xia Xia, let's take it slow. Boys are naturally interested in mechanics and learn quickly. It's okay for girls if they don't know how to do it. Anyway, your brother will go to get off work with you in the future, and it's good for him to be your driver."
The An siblings looked at each other, smiled and didn't answer.
An Zhiqiu drove very steadily, not too fast, and explained to the girl while driving.
Arriving at the wide asphalt road outside the house, An Zhixia sat in the driver's seat with a little excitement, touching the steering wheel. His mind flashed through his past beloved drivers like a movie, and he missed them like a tide.
Old Mrs. Jiang stood nervously by the roadside, shouting: "Be careful, take your time..."
An Zhiqiu was sitting in the passenger seat. Before he could give any instructions, the girl muttered, "One, step on the pedal, two, shift, three, horn, four, turn, five, look, six, hand brake." The car started up smoothly and steadily, and before he could come to his senses, the car had slid around for several laps as if having fun.
"This is easier than learning how to ride a bicycle," An Zhixia got off the car and clapped her hands excitedly at the two people staring at her. "I was afraid of falling off a bicycle, so I spent three days learning how to ride it. A car is much easier to drive than a tractor. You can drive as fast as you want and steer in any direction you want. It's so smooth! The seat is also comfortable and it's protected from wind and rain!"
Old Mrs. Jiang touched her chest and said with a silly smile, "My dear grandson is so smart. The kid from the Li family behind has learned it for a month. Our family has good genes. The baby in Ye'er's belly must be smart and beautiful. My dear grandson, when will my dear grandson-in-law come?"
When Old Lady Jiang asked, An Zhixia was stunned for a moment and didn't react. The next moment, she smiled awkwardly and said, "He will come when the grapes in the yard are ripe."
She said that something had been missing in the past few days, and that she had forgotten a living person. After returning home and eating, she went back to her room to write a letter to someone, reporting what had happened recently.
She had no experience in love, she was not around, and she didn't have a mobile phone to check her presence all the time. She only relied on letters every week or half a month. When An Zhixia got busy, she would forget about everything else, so this relationship was particularly unreal to her.
The next day, after dinner, An Zhixia didn't ask Jiang Shiming to send her off, and drove directly to various performance troupes to recruit people. She was no joke during the half-month training for the spring performance troupe competition, and she found many good talents.
Each troupe has a large number of actors, just like cultivating a Gu King, giving birth to one pillar after another. However, the actors in the troupe are all young, which is very cruel and can easily bury other talented seedlings.
An Zhixia had a goal in mind, and with her previous drafts in hand, she didn't even need to ask for more, and people took the initiative to ask for one person to exchange for one program. An Zhixia bargained fiercely, acting particularly painful, and finally exchanged one program for two people, poaching all the seedlings she had taken a fancy to and trained for half a month.
Not only them, but also with their recommendation, An Zhixia visited some units that did not participate in the spring performance group competition to discover young people who are equally excellent, malleable, hardworking, motivated, and persistent in their dreams.
Then on the next day, she went to two key high schools in Kyoto and picked out several fresh graduates with active thinking, good character and strong learning ability.
On the third day, when everyone completed the formalities and submitted their files to the personnel department of the TV station, they were stunned by the sight of a large group of thirty people. Several directors and deputy directors of the station were alarmed and rushed over.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on?" The director looked at these people and felt like he was going to have a heart attack. Each person had to be equipped with office supplies, daily necessities, assigned dormitories, welfare benefits, and a salary of several dozen yuan per month!
"Xiao Tanxian... why are you guys here at the TV station? Did you go to the right place?"
"Hello, Director. Teacher Xiao An invited us here. We have completed the transfer procedures. We just need to register and report to the Human Resources Department of our station, and the process will be completed." Xiao Tanxian said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, An Zhi...Where's Director Xiao An? Why didn't she report to us? Then, someone, go call Director Xiao An over."
