Chapter 194 Donation Ceremony
Ji Sisi particularly admires the dedication of the older generation, who seek neither money nor fame but only to help more children escape the remote mountains and impoverished hometowns.

The principal smiled, his face crinkling with wrinkles. "Thank you to the food factory for their help to our school, Manager Ji. On behalf of all the teachers and students, I thank you."

When Principal Zhang first heard that someone wanted to donate 5,000 yuan to the school, he was stunned for a long time and couldn't come to his senses.

He knew the situation in Huaihua Commune best, having spent most of his life in Huaihua Second Team.

He knew about the food factory being built, but he didn't expect that the factory would donate money and supplies to the school as soon as it made money.

As Principal Zhang looked at the things that Ji Sisi and Hu Zhibin had brought, his eyes gradually welled up with tears.

"These things are too precious. Your factory is just starting out. You should prioritize your own needs first."

Principal Zhang inquired about the prices of these items outside, and they were not cheap; one pound was enough for one meal for the children.

Ji Sisi sent so much without even blinking.

"Principal Zhang, you don't need to thank me. This was all decided in a meeting at the company. I'm just a deliveryman."

Seeing Principal Zhang moved to tears, Ji Sisi was at a loss and looked to Hu Zhibin for help.

"Why are you crying on such a happy day, Principal? Reporters will be taking pictures later, and we might even be in the newspapers. Wipe your tears quickly."

Hu Zhibin took out a tissue from his pocket and said, "Principal, let me take you to see the beef jerky and beef jerky that our factory sells."

For the donation ceremony, five kilograms of loose beef jerky and beef jerky were also prepared and placed on the table for the reporters, staff, and County Chief Wei to taste later.

We have customized fifteen brand-new gift boxes, each containing a three-in-one gift pack of beef jerky, beef jerky, and beef sauce.

At nine o'clock, the commune leaders and the school's teachers and students were already standing on the playground waiting to welcome County Chief Wei and the reporters.

As the rusty iron gate was pulled open, a black car drove into Huaihua Primary School.

The car and the old school building behind it looked out of place, like a scene from a different layer.

Secretary Lin got out of the car first and went around to the other side to open the car door for County Chief Wei and the reporter.

Five people got out of the car, which was full. County Chief Wei walked side by side with a woman of extraordinary temperament, while Secretary Lin and two other men walked behind.

The man to Secretary Lin's left had a refined demeanor and was undoubtedly from the newspaper.

The man on the right is holding a camera; their identities are immediately obvious.

As for the woman, when she approached, County Chief Wei took the initiative to greet her, "Director Yan, Secretary Feng."

The crowd stepped forward, with Director Yan and Principal Zhang leading the way, followed by commune cadres, and Ji Sisi and Hu Zhibin bringing up the rear.

Through chatting, I learned that this woman was the head of the Organization Department, and her name was Tu Liuxiang.

"Manager Ji, why are you standing so far back? You were the one who suggested this event, you should be standing at the front." County Chief Wei called Ji Sisi to the front.

Ji Sisi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk slowly with the person to the prepared area.

When the people from the Tongxiang newspaper saw Ji Sisi, they couldn't help but be surprised and started discussing it.

"Is this woman the person in charge of the food factory? She looks so young, and she's pregnant."

"It doesn't seem like it. Although Huaihua Food Factory isn't big, it still has dozens of employees. Isn't it a bit arbitrary to let a woman manage it?"

The photographer nodded. "There was a man standing next to her just now, so they must have been together."

The conversation between the two old classmates reached Secretary Lin's ears.

"Currently, only Comrade Ji is managing the food factory. The person you mentioned is Manager Hu from the sales department, who also listens to Comrade Ji." Secretary Lin's words surprised the two of them.

"If that's the case, may I arrange a separate interview with Comrade Ji to write an article? Such an inspiring person is exactly what we need right now."

When Fan Shiyi received the call from Secretary Lin, he was initially interested in the donation. After learning more about it, he wanted to interview Ji Sisi to incorporate the donation into his conversation.

If all the necessary elements are present, the leader should be willing to give you a good position.

"You can ask her later, she should be happy to." Secretary Lin said with a smile and then remained silent.

Fan Shiyi had no idea what was about to happen.

To save everyone's time, after a brief donation speech and some polite remarks, it was time for the photo session.

Fan Shiyi called everyone to stand in front, revealing the banner behind them.

County Chief Wei stood behind the product, which was half a meter tall, and said, "No need for all that trouble, just take the picture like this. Thank you for your help."

The photographer looked at the small mountain of beef jerky and beef sauce in the lens, hesitated, and looked at Fan Shiyi.

"Brother Fan, are we just going to film it like this?"

Fan Shiyi hesitated, but finally tried to get people to move aside. "County Chief Wei, the effect might not be good if you stand in the back. Why don't you all stand in the front?"

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? The money donated by the food factory can't be shown to everyone, but people need to see that it was actually donated."

Secretary Lin assisted from behind, trying to persuade the two.

Fan Shiyi belatedly realized what was going on, his expression turning strange. "You called me here to promote your county's food factory?"

"What kind of propaganda is this? Look, aren't the money and supplies actually donated? Don't misunderstand, just keep filming like this."

Secretary Lin pointed to the supplies in front of him, and seeing that Fan Shiyi was still hesitating, said, "Didn't you want to interview Comrade Ji? Just take the picture like this, and I'll go and contact her for you to get her consent."

Fan Shiyi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it's settled then."

After Fan Shiyi agreed, he asked the photographer to move to a better-lit location to take the picture.

A flash of white light streaked across the sky, followed by rising white smoke, and then several more flashes of white light. The donation ended as the white smoke dissipated.

Hu Zhibin used his sales expertise to encourage everyone to sample the products and started distributing gift boxes.

"Comrade Fan, Comrade Liu, it's really kind of you to come all this way. This is a gift box from our food factory. Please take it back and try it."

The gift box is burgundy and feels heavy when you pick it up. It contains two pounds of beef jerky, two pounds of beef jerky, and two jars of beef sauce in different flavors.

Fan Shiyi hadn't expected it to be so heavy, and his hand sank a little when he took it.

"Manager Ji, you've gone to too much trouble."

Ji Sisi already knew what Fan Shiyi wanted to interview, and shook her head with a smile, "They are all guests who have come from afar, this is just a small token of our appreciation."

"Then I shall gladly accept your offer. By the way, Manager Ji, did Secretary Lin mention to you earlier that I would like to conduct a brief interview with you on behalf of our newspaper?"

"As I said, if Comrade Fan isn't in a hurry, we can go to the classroom and sit down to chat."

After Hu Zhibin returned from distributing the gift boxes, Ji Sisi disappeared.
