The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 316 Do something!!!
"So, were those words you said during your speech just nice words to win votes, or did you really have those plans and intended to do that?"

Old Wang narrowed his eyes and watched Zhang Shenfei drop a chess piece, then spoke slowly.

After Zhang Shenfei finished playing chess, he took out a pack of red-wrapped Peony cigarettes from his pocket, knocked out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly blew out a smoke ring: "Guess..."

"You kid are still keeping me in suspense." Old Wang picked up Zhang Shenfei's cigarette box on the stone table without any hesitation, took out a cigarette from it, lit it, and started puffing away.

"Hey, I remember you never smoked?" Zhang Shenfei asked curiously.

He has been playing chess with this old man for nearly a month. At the beginning, he would always let the old man smoke, but the old man always declined.

Why did he take the initiative to smoke this time? And judging from his posture, although he is not very skilled, he is definitely not a novice.

Old Wang chuckled, "When did I say I don't smoke anymore? This is 55 cents a pack of Peony brand cigarettes!!! One cigarette is equivalent to the price of a fried dough stick, why not smoke? I'm not stupid!!!"

“But then again, your level is getting higher and higher.

I didn't say anything when you smoked 30-cent Daqianmen before, but now you smoke 55-cent Mudan, awesome!!!" The old man put the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, squinted his eyes and exhaled clouds of white smoke.

There is a jingle about cigarettes in the old city.

Senior cadres smoked Mudan, mid-level cadres smoked Xiangshan, workers, peasants and soldiers smoked 2.3 yuan (referring to Beihai brand, 2.3 yuan a box), and rural cadres smoked Dapao. This shows the grade of Mudan brand cigarettes.

"Okay! It seems that I am the idiot." Zhang Shenfei laughed dumbly, "But I can't afford Peony brand. I bought this from a friend of mine who is a member of a large courtyard when I went home this weekend."

I thought the old man didn't smoke, but it turned out that he disliked the taste of his 30-cent-a-pack Daqianmen cigarettes.

Zhang Shenfei couldn't help but feel a little curious. How expensive were the cigarettes that this old man used to smoke?
Since he can afford to smoke cigarettes that cost 50 cents a pack, how could he be reduced to cleaning toilets? ? ? Could it be that this is also an old Y? ? ?

For a moment, many speculations flashed through Zhang Shenfei's mind about this mysterious old man Wang.

But he considered himself a man with a sense of boundaries, and if the old man didn't say it himself, he wouldn't ask.

So the two of them returned to the previous topic, and Zhang Shenfei told Old Wang that he really wanted to do something for the school and his classmates.

"If nothing else, just look at it. There hasn't been a drop of rain since the second half of this year. The grain stores are also short of fine grains. I'm thinking that next year, the market may be even worse.

A considerable number of students in our school are from rural areas. When that time comes, they will definitely have to use the school’s scholarships to subsidize their families.

With money, life at home would be better, but their life at school would be hard, and they might even go hungry, or even worse...

So I thought about setting up the student union's work-study program to provide some convenience for the students."

Zhang Shenfei expressed his concerns.

In previous years, the city only had sandstorms in spring, but this autumn, because it didn’t rain, there were two or three consecutive sandstorms. The fact that people were covered in dust was secondary, but the main problem was that without rain, the crops couldn’t survive!!!
Zhang Shenfei doesn't think he is a kind person.
However, in an era of natural disasters, he is still willing to help ordinary people if he can.

Not only is Zhang Shenfei a student of Yenching University, he also plans to take some time to go back to the steel mill to see what he can do.

Old Wang sighed upon hearing this, his face wrinkled like a bitter gourd: "The weather this year is indeed abnormal. It is not uncommon for droughts to occur in one place, but how can there be such a large-scale drought?
The scope of this disaster is too large. I think there will be another drought next year. When I think about this, I am very worried. "

Not just next year? The year after next, and the year after that! ! ! !

Zhang Shenfei swallowed his words and was silent for a moment before he managed to utter, "The drought will last no more than three years."

“Three years???” Old Wang’s eyes widened and he snorted coldly, “How many people will starve to death in one year… Just wait and see.”

The country is still a big agricultural country and has not yet entered the mechanization stage, so it basically relies on the weather for its livelihood.

If the drought continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, the old man's mood became even more depressed. After a moment of silence, he looked at Zhang Shenfei as if he remembered something:

"Well, forget it, let's not talk about this, this is not something we can decide.

It is always good for you to have a heart to serve your classmates, but I have to remind you that the current situation is ever-changing, and sometimes you have a good heart but cannot do what you want.

Even if you work hard and are lucky enough and really do something practical, you may not necessarily get good results.

At certain times, these things may even become a handle for others to attack you.

No one appreciates your hard work, and you suffer the consequences... Even so, do you still want to do it?"

He himself suffered greatly from this, otherwise he wouldn't be sweeping toilets on the campus of Yenching University now.

The old man looked at Zhang Shenfei with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see Zhang Shenfei's bones and blood through his skin and flesh.

"I do." Zhang Shenfei said calmly.

The old man suddenly smiled and said, "I was right about you, kid. You did something even though you knew it was impossible. You are a good guy."

"It's not as mysterious as you say." Zhang Shenfei also laughed, "I'm not as noble as you say. Even if I do something for everyone, it is based on the premise of being able to protect myself.

I am a selfish person and I only put myself and my family first in everything I do.”

Such words would be considered as treason in this age where everyone works as a collective, but Zhang Shenfei said so anyway, and was certain that the old man would not betray him.

"Okay! I feel relieved when you say that." Old Wang put down a chess piece, "It's your turn."

The two stopped chatting and began to fight each other on the chessboard.

In the end, Zhang Shenfei won three games in a row. The angry old Wang walked out of the pavilion angrily with a broom in his hand, shouting that he would never play with him again.

"What the hell? He's so young and doesn't know how to respect the elders and love the young. Bah, he's still the student union president." Old Wang couldn't win the fight and started to make personal attacks.

"If you don't want to play, then don't play. You can't afford to lose at your age and yet you make personal attacks. You're bringing shame upon yourself!!!" Zhang Shenfei snorted coldly and fought back without showing any weakness.

Come on, let’s hurt each other, who’s afraid of who??? !!

……

After school in the afternoon,

Teacher Hong found Zhang Shenfei and first congratulated him on becoming the fifth president of the Student Union of Yenching University.

He then said that after the school leaders heard about Zhang Shenfei's idea, they believed that his drastic reforms were unprecedented and the school could not take such a risk.

However, Zhang Shenfei can first try to form a new student union team on his own. If he can achieve some results, the school will provide help when necessary.

"If it turns out that your idea is not feasible, the school will disband the department student union and the departments you mentioned, and maintain the current status quo."

"And at that time, whether you, as the president of the student union, will leave or stay will depend on the situation after another meeting." Teacher Hong told Zhang Shenfei the results of the school leaders' meeting in the afternoon.

Although the school wanted to reform the student union before, it was limited to the rectification and improvement of the student union.

As a result, Zhang Shenfei had to set up 12 department student unions and different departments, and also establish a work-study society.

This far exceeded the expectations of school leaders, and also made them afraid that they would take too big a step and end up in trouble.

If this proposal was made by someone else, I'm afraid the school would reject it directly.

But because of Zhang Shenfei's outstanding performance at the welcome party, Principal Lu and others were willing to believe in him and gave him a chance against all odds.

Hearing this, Zhang Shenfei considered for a while:
"That is to say, I can adjust the student union's mechanism according to my own ideas in the early stage, right? The school will not interfere, but it will not provide any help either.

So, our student union will enter a period of wild growth next? ? "

Teacher Hong nodded: "Yes, in fact, I think your idea is very good. There are many teachers in the school who support you, especially Principal Lu, who admires you very much. It's just that the leader in charge of this area is a conservative..." If it weren't for this,

It would not be possible for the Yenching University Student Union to have been established for four or five years without any progress.

“In fact, there are many teachers in the school who support you, especially Principal Lu. The fact that you were able to obtain the opportunity for free development was the result of his efforts against all odds.

I believe that as long as you can make some achievements, Zhang Shenfei, and make Principal Lu more confident, you will definitely be able to help in the future."

Teacher Hong saw that Zhang Shenfei looked reserved and thought he was in a bad mood, so he patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"Teacher, you misunderstood. I didn't back down. I was just thinking about how to implement the work next." Zhang Shenfei smiled.

……

After Zhang Shenfei officially took office,
He gathered all the members of the Student Union together for a meeting and stated that the main work content of the Student Union in the future would be three points.

The first point, naturally, is to establish the department student union.

"I will apply for more positions from relevant teachers in the school, and will also issue a recruitment notice in the name of the school student union.

I ask all the secretaries present here to play a role in publicity in their respective departments...I want to tell everyone that any student who has the idea of ​​serving the school and classmates can write a handwritten application.

We will select and admit a batch of candidates based on merit in a week, and the list will be posted on the notice board at that time.

If everyone has no objection to this, we will start discussing the next item - the division of labor in the school student union."

Zhang Shenfei took out the notes he had made earlier, which recorded in detail the names, heights, weights, family situations, personality and appearance characteristics, what they are good at, and other miscellaneous information of all the current student union members.

These were all counted before, but I didn’t expect they would be used now.

Based on the collected information, Zhang Shenfei initially arranged suitable positions for everyone.

"For now, everyone's positions will be based on this, and we will make adjustments at any time based on actual conditions in subsequent work.

From now on, whether teachers or classmates need our cooperation, everyone will follow their respective division of labor, with clear rewards and punishments, and no longer eat from the same pot... Is it meaningful for everyone?"

"No."

"no problem."

Under Zhang Shenfei's vigorous and resolute work style,

The twelve departments of Yenching University quickly formed their own student unions and working groups under the student unions of each department.

Nowadays, students from all departments have difficulties or questions.
They will find the corresponding department of their department student union for help as soon as possible. Only when the department student union cannot solve the problem will it be reported to the college student union.

The student union of Yenching University has now expanded more than twice, and the number of problems it helps students deal with every day is more than five times that of before.

It seems that there are a lot more things to do, but because everything is well organized and each task is assigned to a specific person, work efficiency has increased exponentially.

Everything is now no longer as chaotic as before, with everyone focusing on one thing and not the other.

After the National Day ceremony,

The Yenching University Student Union is making steady progress, and all its work is generally on track.

Zhang Shenfei asked the student union of each department to compile a list of poor students and students who volunteered to work part-time and submit it.

Looking at the names on the list, Zhang Shenfei was a little surprised, "There are only twenty-one people?"

Chang Ruifeng sneered immediately: "Otherwise, how much do you think you can get? The country gives us college students 20 yuan in scholarships every month.

The average living standard per capita in Beijing is only eight yuan per month, and each of our living standards is 2.5 times theirs. No one is really so poor that they need to go out to work and study.

Chairman Zhang, I advise you to think carefully before doing anything and not always take things for granted.

Isn't it embarrassing that it has come to this?"

Chang Ruifeng's words were very impolite, and Chen Yizhi immediately frowned and interrupted him:
Who is always taking things for granted? ? Vice President Chang, before you say these things, you'd better go to the school's canteen area and see how many students eat pickled cabbage as their staple food every day. "

The dining area costs eight cents and you can eat as much staple food as you want, but no side dishes are provided, so you need to bring your own.

Generally, only students living in extremely difficult conditions would eat there.

“There are few people signing up for work-study programs now, simply because most of the students have never worked outside and dare not sign up rashly. They want to observe the results of the first batch of work-study students first…” Chen Yizhizhai directly pointed out the crux of the problem.

His words immediately won the approval of many people.

"Yes, I asked several students in our class who were not in good conditions, and they all said the same thing."

"Most of the students who need to work and study are from rural areas. They are introverted and afraid that they will not be able to adapt to the society if they rush into it," Nie Yunyun also said.

Although her previous attempt to take advantage of Zhang Shenfei failed, she still admired Zhang Shenfei very much.

Her vote also helped Zhang Shenfei get elected.

"I think as long as the first batch of students who work and study can really get the money, more and more people will sign up later."

"President, what kind of work have you assigned to everyone?"

"Many students came to me for inquiries, but because I didn't know exactly where the part-time partner was, the work content and the unit price, I couldn't introduce it to everyone in detail, so in the end only a few signed up."

"This is indeed my negligence," Zhang Shenfei slapped his head.

I had been braving the National Day holiday to go to the square to watch the ceremony some time ago, how could I have forgotten about this? ? ?
He introduced to everyone:
"The part-time companies that cooperate with our school include Sijiucheng Transportation Company, Sijiucheng State-owned Restaurant, steel mills, textile factories, garment factories... Anyway, there are probably about a dozen of them.

"I have acquaintances in these units, so it is not difficult to arrange for some students to work part-time there during winter and summer vacations and on weekends.

As for the unit price? It depends on the market. I will let you know the price two days before the part-time job..."

After hearing this, everyone in the student union was shocked.

State-owned canteens, transport companies, textile mills, steel mills...

This, this covers almost every aspect of human's food, clothing, housing and transportation!!!

That's all I can say. There are only a few of them.

These units are all the leading units in the city. Who can underestimate them when they are put together????
The college students present here felt for the first time the power of society.

Everyone had only one thought at this moment, that if this work-study program could really be accomplished, they might really be able to leave something behind at Yenching University.

Just do it,

Early Saturday morning,

He was a student who signed up for a work-study program, and they met at the gate of Yenching University.

Chen Yizhi took the roll call and then stepped back. Zhang Shenfei stood in front of everyone and said loudly:

"Today we are going to the Sijiucheng Transportation Company to load and unload goods."
