Chapter 357: Ladder to Heaven
"Our Maicheng Craft Factory offers exquisite crafts such as willow weaving, embroidery, paper cutting, purple clay pottery, hand-made porcelain, root carving, woodworking, brocade weaving, spinning, dyeing and weaving. Among so many crafts, there will always be one that suits everyone.
This is our own factory, and we can offer you the same treatment as workers in other factories. In fact, because our factory has domestic and overseas sales, the performance bonus may be more generous than that of other factories, which can relieve the pressure on the families of all employees.
Therefore, our assessment is somewhat strict. We need to be positive in our thinking and are not allowed to fight openly or secretly with other employees for the sake of interests. We can compete to improve our skills, but we must never harm the collective interest or create real hatred.
Furthermore, the craft products are to be exported, so the quality requirements are very high. They represent the technological level of our country, so no one can fish in troubled waters. This is an opportunity that the station has fought for for everyone. You must know how to cherish it and support the factory as if it were your own home..."
Everyone was shaking with excitement after hearing this. They only knew that An Zhixia was investigating the family members' information, and they could guess that she would take some actions to improve everyone's lives, but they didn't expect that the station had even opened a factory specifically for this purpose!
Moreover, the factory has many crafts to choose from. In addition to the school-age children, the women and the elderly at home can all find jobs that suit them. Wouldn't that mean that every family can have at least one more source of income? Or even two or three!
What does it matter if you work hard or if you hold back your temper? As long as you have money, it's a real benefit. They will definitely work hard, support the factory, and keep it open for a long time.
Everyone shouted excitedly, "The factory is our home..."
An Zhixia smiled and watched. She usually liked to deal with the villain first and the gentleman later, so as to avoid a lot of trouble later. She would also write these people into the factory regulations and give them instructions every day.
After talking about this, Qiu Yingyue glanced at An Zhixia and continued with a smile: "The next thing is the second thing we talked about, which is also related to the vital interests of every TV station family."
Everyone listened with bated breath, wondering if there could be anything more important than this one thing. It was actually treated as the finale, but this did not stop them from looking towards the stage with inexplicable excitement.
"Our TV station was approved by the organization this time, not only the Maicheng Craft Factory, but also the Zhien Education Training Center. The ones standing on my right are the first batch of teachers of the training center. They are all outstanding young people in the same industry. They did not hesitate to quit their original well-paid jobs and resolutely joined our training center to contribute to the education cause of the motherland."
Everyone looked at it in confusion, wondering how this education and training center was related to them?
"We will open interest classes for children in a non-profit charity way: painting, calligraphy, Go, musical instruments, singing, dancing, foreign languages, mathematics, writing, roller skating, swimming, small hosting, etc.
Children must learn academic subjects, but they must also have one or two interests to expand their brain development and increase their competitiveness in future life..."
This time, the family members in the audience were stunned, their brains worked hard, and they silently read through the courses offered in their hearts, and suddenly they were boiling! They were all working class, and some even came from farmers and always felt inferior.
They thought that they would live a mediocre life and their children and grandchildren would surely be ordinary people. However, An Zhixia brought them a ladder to heaven, allowing their children and grandchildren to stand on the starting line with the children of powerful families. What could be more important than having children and grandchildren who are promising and bring honor to the family?
There were even old men or old ladies who couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow after hearing the explanations of others, but were quickly stopped by the people around them: "Uncle/Aunt, what are you doing? If you want to express your gratitude, you can send a banner to Deputy An or join the Maicheng Craft Factory and just do your job well. If you kneel down and get seen by someone with ulterior motives, Deputy An might be pulled down!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the man was so scared that he immediately stood up straight and just kept bowing to express his gratitude.
The crowd was so excited that Qiu Yingyue's subsequent words were obscured.
An Zhixia smiled helplessly and shook her head, took the loudspeaker in her hand, and just as she cleared her throat, everyone pulled each other to quiet down.
“I understand everyone’s desire for their children to succeed. This is a rare opportunity that not only affects the children’s future, but also the value of the careers these teachers have devoted themselves to. It is also a great cause that will influence the learning atmosphere in Kyoto.
But what I want to say is that parents have good intentions, but children are young and should not be burdened with such heavy expectations from adults at such a young age. We can steer their direction when they cannot distinguish right from wrong and occasionally give them a push, but we cannot put shackles on them and drag them along, which may even backfire.
These educational methods will be broadcast on the education channel. If you want your children to succeed, you must use the right methods and be moderate in your efforts..."
The boiling blood of the crowd gradually calmed down and cooled down. They nodded repeatedly. What Deputy An said was right. They hoped that the children would become successful, but what was the purpose of success? Wasn't it to enable the children to support themselves and live a more comfortable and happy life in the future?
They promised that they would pay attention to educational channels and raise their children according to scientific methods.
The TV station agreed with the organization's approval that the National Chocolate Company has signed the agreement.
Under the guidance of An Zhixia, the comrades in the station recorded Xia Huaguo's first advertisement: a chocolate advertisement. In the solemn and majestic palace with red bricks and green tiles, a beautiful and elegant woman in a Manchu dress and a bun is walking gracefully with a handkerchief in her hand. Her every move is full of nobility and disdain, but there is a hint of sadness between her brows. She is facing a handsome and cool man in Jinyiwei clothing who is walking down the stairs.
The two stopped and looked at each other, their eyes locked with each other, but then, at the urging of their respective companions, they greeted each other desperately and painfully and passed each other by.
The woman slowly walked over the steps, and the scene looked like ripples on the lake. Then she had a bright smile on her face. She was wearing a bright red corset skirt and her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, which swung with her excited steps. In her hand was a bright red college acceptance letter.
She spun around happily, but bumped into the arms of a man in an iron-gray Zhongshan suit, and the red chocolate with a metallic luster fell to the ground.
The two looked at each other, and with just one glance, the throbbing feeling of déjà vu stopped the noise around them. The girl blushed and stepped back in panic, but her eyes kept drifting towards the other person with a hint of admiration.
The man's stern face was tinged with a smile, and he looked handsome and domineering.
He picked up the chocolate from the ground and handed it over. "Your chocolate..."
