Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71: Chapter 71: Creating Hype

Today is the performance day of the night school’s anti-kidnapping play.

At four in the morning, Jiang Cheng got up.

She carried a backpack, which contained a patchwork bag made by Grandma Shen, and bit into a cornmeal pancake as she rode off on her bicycle.

"Slow down!"

Grandma Shen shouted worriedly, but Jiang Cheng had already dashed out several meters.

Holding the bike with one hand and nibbling on the pancake with the other, accompanied by the fresh morning breeze, Jiang Cheng arrived very full at the night school.

Uncle Wang from the night school was waiting at the entrance, and as soon as he saw Jiang Cheng’s figure, he opened the door immediately.

"Good morning, Uncle Wang! Thank you for your hard work."

"It’s nothing, hurry inside!"

Uncle Wang voluntarily came this early.

After Jiang Cheng parked her bike, she ran upstairs, opened the classroom door, turned on the lights, and continued working.

At this moment, there was a huge piece of white paper in the classroom, designed to look like a banner.

It had already been drawn on quite a bit, and Jiang Cheng came to finish it up.

Half an hour later, the night school students started arriving one after another.

Most of them had taken leave or sneakily left work just for today’s performance.

Jiang Cheng arranged for the students to get ready, while she took more than half of them and the teachers out of the night school.

That’s right, the teachers were also roped in by Jiang Cheng to do the labor.

The teachers couldn’t bear not coming, since all those practice exercises they made were provided by Jiang Cheng.

A group of people appeared brightly on the streets and crowded areas, holding a banner over three meters long and shouting slogans.

Jiang Cheng picked up a megaphone and shouted with all her might, "Are you afraid of your children being abducted?"

"Are you worried about your money being scammed away?"

"Are you concerned about going outside and being kidnapped, only to be sold into a black coal mine?"

"Are you worried about being deceived and separated from your family by thousands of miles, trapped in a mountain, and living a lifetime of confusion?"

A few shouted questions slowed the footsteps of the pedestrians, and many even stopped.

Whether they were worried or not, at least they were curious about the commotion.

Jiang Cheng continued.

"Come to our night school to watch the anti-kidnapping play!"

"Today, at ten in the morning, our night school, together with the police department and newspaper, will teach you how to prevent kidnapping and fraud, ensuring your children’s safety and your wallet’s security."

"The night school’s anti-kidnapping and anti-fraud play, today at ten, free admission, limited seats."

As Jiang Cheng shouted all the way, the night school students became little promoters, starting to advertise the play.

They emphasized the free admission and limited seats, following Jiang Cheng’s guidelines.

She continued walking and promoting, and two hours later, when Jiang Cheng returned to the night school, a large crowd of curious onlookers followed behind.

Principal Wang, who had been waiting at the night school, became anxious upon seeing hundreds of people returning.

"Get ready!"

The night school students behind him also became nervous.

Jiang Cheng was the first to enter and shouted to the people behind her, "Please line up properly to avoid stepping on your shoes; there’s definitely room for everyone to watch the play now."

"People who line up properly can move forward; we will issue a number to each person, and after the performance, we’ll have a lottery draw with a prize for the lucky number."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the order outside became tidy.

A prize?

Though it was a lottery, what if?

Many were eager to try and felt their trip wasn’t in vain.

The students in the school were responsible for guiding everyone to the playground to watch the play.

Director Fang adopted a formal demeanor and said:

"Since Director Lu is here, I seem to remember you don’t enjoy participating in these kinds of events; must be a sunny day with the sun rising in the west today."

If not for Lu insisting on personally coming, would he even need to come?

Director Lu snorted, elevating himself self-righteously:

"Nonsense! Our food factory is highly willing to contribute to the anti-kidnapping promotion."

The two of them were getting into it.

Jiang Cheng quickly intervened, saying, "Our night school has seen the great righteousness of both directors; many people will see it after today. Shall we go inside first?"

"Many people?"

Director Fang was puzzled, isn’t it just a small play? Where are so many people from?

"Oh, I’m such a poor speaker; it’s a big scene for me, but definitely not for the two directors."

Jiang Cheng continued, "The main thing is that many people spontaneously came after hearing about the anti-kidnapping play."

"Seeing so many people wanting to come, I couldn’t dampen their enthusiasm, so I made some arrangements."

Jiang Cheng led the way, and both Factory Director Fang and Factory Director Lu were feeling a bit nervous inside.

As the three of them entered the playground, they were immediately struck by the sight before them.

The crowd in front of them stunned Factory Director Fang and Food Factory Director Lu for a moment.

Factory Director Fang nudged Food Factory Director Lu quietly, "So you knew there were lots of people; no wonder you came personally." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Director Lu tilted his head, bewildered, "What are you saying? If you weren’t coming first, would I have this leisure time?"

After speaking, the two exchanged glances, their minds quietly working simultaneously.

What the...!

Tricked!

At this moment, they both had only one thought regarding Jiang Cheng: From now on, textile factory & food factory, she is not allowed in!!
