Chapter 191: Chapter 191: A little more money
To be honest, the Spring Festival only lasts a few days before the New Year, and it gave Feng Yiping a bit of a break. Starting from the first day of the New Year, he either entertained guests at home or went to other people's homes to be a guest, which was actually not easy.
As usual, on the morning of the sixth day of the lunar year, Feng Zhanchang set off with a car full of people. After having lunch in the city, they hurried to the provincial capital to prepare for the opening of the various stores.
After everyone left, Feng Yiping went to take a long, hot shower. Back home, the conditions were such that it was a hassle to take a hot shower that didn't feel cold in winter. Now, there were no electric heaters or anything like that, so the bathtub had to be placed next to the brazier. So, while the side next to the brazier was scorching hot, the other side was still cold enough to make you shiver.
After drying his hair hastily, he threw himself on the bed and slept soundly, not waking up until after the lights had been lit.
There was nothing he could do about it. Visiting relatives, which he had loved as a child, had become a burden to him now.
On the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, he was also kept busy. He hung his camera from his neck and took his notebook with him as he wandered the streets and lanes of the city.
In inland cities like theirs, apart from units like schools and powerful departments like the public security system, the vast majority of units and individuals were still immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year. Units generally still worked in shifts and would not return to normal until after the Lantern Festival.
The streets are quiet, with few people and few cars, but the sound of firecrackers going off everywhere makes it seem a little noisy.
In the market, apart from shopping malls and kiosks, most offices and shops are closed, and even restaurants and breakfast shops are not open for business. If you don't want to cook for yourself, you really can't find a place to eat.
But that's good, because when Feng Yiping was doing his survey, the statistics were simpler.
Although Feng Yiping usually doesn't get along with his classmates, he doesn't have any conflicts with them either. He is not enthusiastic about participating in group activities, but he can still complete the tasks assigned to him with high quality and quantity. This is mainly due to Feng Yiping's final exam results, which are still maintained at the top of the grade. The school still named him as the third-year student of the first semester.
When receiving his award on stage, Feng Yiping smiled modestly at his teachers and classmates, but inwardly he was thinking, 'When will the various awards in our country also be dominated by trophies?' They're so easy to store. You can put so many on top of a cabinet. Things like awards, just Feng Yiping's from elementary school to the present, can cover one wall, and at first glance they all look similar.
After winning this award, Feng Yiping asked his parents to come over and stay for the night. There was no choice, as the school's political and educational affairs office had to pay a home visit to every model student, and it would not do to let them know that Feng Yiping now lived alone.
Fortunately, Feng Zhenchang and Mei Qiuping were happy to do this kind of thing, and hurried to the city in the afternoon, where they received the teachers from the political and educational affairs office with great enthusiasm, reaping a number of compliments and also showering them with praise.
In short, the teacher praised the parents for their good parenting, and the parents said that school education was still the best. Both sides praised each other, and then the teacher made a few small suggestions, and the parents gave a small explanation, promising on behalf of Feng Yiping that they would definitely make improvements in the future.
After seeing the teacher off, the parents did not even stay to rest, and hurried back that night. It was fine if one of them was absent, but with both of them gone, there were just too many things that couldn't be done at the store.
After the Lantern Festival, Feng Yiping has been waiting for letters and phone calls from both parties. The letters are from the publishing house, and the phone calls are from the law firm that represents the copyright of his reality show. He is very eager to get these two payments, or at least some definite news, so that he can make arrangements.
There are many people who are more anxious than he is. In early March, the municipal two sessions will be held. Ordinary people don't care about these meetings, they are far away from them, and they often cause trouble in their daily lives.
For example, there will be more banners above the street, the corners of the street will be cleaned up, some railings and guard booths will be painted, sometimes some streets will be temporarily closed, there will be more police on the street, the security will be reviewed, and the transportation hubs will also inspect the passing passengers in time. The newspaper headlines will also be full of topics related to this...
In short, ordinary people hope that the meeting will end as soon as possible so that they can return to their normal lives.
However, for the city's dignitaries and leaders, this is a matter that concerns their official position and is like their annual exam.
For example, Zheng Jiayi clearly felt that her mother had been very nervous and impatient in the past two days, worse than before her high school entrance exam. After getting off work, she would sometimes walk non-stop in the living room and the courtyard.
Fang Shengfang couldn't help but be nervous. Although it was a foregone conclusion, who knew if the delegates' votes would ultimately carry out the organisation's intentions? We must remember that the current National People's Congress is not the same as it used to be. Seven or eight years ago, the deputies from some provinces already recalled senior officials from their own provinces, and even more leaders favoured by the organisation department failed to get through the National People's Congress.
If they failed to get through, it was not only a rejection of the work of the first-level Party committee and higher-level organisation department, but also a political disaster for the individual nominee. In the future, not only would they not be able to make progress, they would also find it difficult to keep their current positions.
She was very lucky to have been promoted from a regular position to deputy director level. A leader from the central government visited the newly built No. 1 Middle School and was very impressed by her, a female cadre, for her great courage and drive. It just so happened that the central government subsequently required an increase in the proportion of women in party committees at all levels, and she was promoted to the municipal government.
Similarly, this opportunity was also related to that leader. Sometimes, a word from above can outweigh many efforts from below.
Her daughter didn't tell her, but she knew that many people were dissatisfied with her emptying the coffers of No. 1 Middle School and incurring tens of millions of yuan in external debt to build the new campus. These opinions were usually ignored, but if they were reflected at the people's congress, it would be bad.
Although she had not thought of using the construction of the new No. 1 Middle School as a stepping stone to climb to a higher level when she approved its construction, but now that she was in her current position, the sky was the limit for further advancement. Who wouldn't be ambitious?
Fortunately, perhaps because she had done an excellent job for the municipal party committee, or because the deputies to the people's congress were really satisfied with her, on the last day of the people's congress, before the closing ceremony, she was elected mayor by a large majority and finally entered the ranks of senior cadres. freeweɓnøvel.com
As for the former mayor, he was transferred to work in the provincial industry and commerce bureau.
There was no way around it. He had offended too many people, and all of them were on the public payroll. It would be difficult to get things done in the future. The key was that he had offended people, and in the end, nothing got done.
Fang Shengfang was different. She had also offended people and owed a lot of debt, but the city's No. 1 Middle School was also built, becoming a new business card for the city, and no large-scale group incidents had occurred.
The city government really needed a leader who wasn't afraid of offending people, could get things done, and could coordinate various parties relatively well.
In mid-March, Feng Zhenchang also received a call from Shanghai at the provincial level. The Extreme Race was bought by the American Columbia Television Company for the North and South American regions, and as for Future Top Model, it may be a bit ahead of its time, and there is no buyer yet.
Feng Zhenchang went to the school to ask for leave, took Feng Yiping to Shanghai, took care of the relevant matters, and posted a long-term recruitment ad on the human resources website.
As the saying goes, blessings never come one after the other, but soon after they returned from Shanghai, Feng Yiping finally received a letter from a publishing house in Taiwan asking about publishing matters. According to the minimum conditions they gave, for the traditional Chinese edition, Feng Yiping, as a newcomer, could also get a six-digit royalty.
Haha, finally some money again!
Next, just wait for news from the job market.
