Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 72: The Play Begins

Although the two factory directors thought so in their hearts, their smiles and steps never paused.

With many people and a lot of chat, a factory’s good reputation begins from here.

Jiang Cheng was even more sincere, undeterred by the intimidating looks from the two directors.

She passionately invited them, introducing things as she went.

Factory Director Fang looked at Jiang Cheng, thinking: Her mental composure is truly impressive.

Director Lu was also amazed, wondering how this young lady’s thick skin was developed.

Invited by Jiang Cheng, the two directors sat down one after the other. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The other directors or representatives present all stood up, greeting each other.

Factory Director Fang and Director Lu noticed that so many had come.

Their feelings of embarrassment from being deceived weakened a bit.

Moreover, considering the large audience, it’s hard not to be tempted by such an opportunity to shine.

Factory Director Fang even thought, looking closely, Jiang Cheng indeed has some skills.

Everyone knows about the "small conflicts" between him and Director Lu.

The two love competing with each other, often taking things seriously, but only Jiang Cheng dared to take advantage of this.

Also, wherever he goes, he hears about the evening school plays, which probably has something to do with Jiang Cheng as well.

To say the least, this girl’s mind and way of handling things are undoubtedly excellent, grasping the timing well too.

Factory Director Fang was even a bit intrigued.

He considered the idea of recruiting Jiang Cheng into the textile factory.

Such talent placed in their factory would surely yield twice the result with half the effort.

The change from dislike to appreciation was instant.

As for the previous "not allowed inside," it’s unimportant!

Director Lu also thought a lot.

Those who became factory directors are not stupid, he understood Jiang Cheng’s little scheme and also developed a sense of appreciating talent.

Factory Director Fang and Director Lu, these two competitive partners, found their thoughts in synchrony for a moment.

The two exchanged a glance, with Director Lu first speaking:

"Actually, Mr. Jiang does have some abilities, a good fit for our food factory."

Factory Director Fang instantly retorted, "Have you no decency? You were glaring at her just now, and now she’s Mr. Jiang to you!"

The two directors started their little argument again.

But before they could further compete, they both quickly stood up, wearing a standard smile.

There was no other reason, Factory Director Sun from the machinery factory and a high-ranking leader arrived together.

Factory Director Fang wondered: Why would the big leader come? Such importance?

Director Lu thought: This trip is worthwhile! And for Jiang Cheng to invite the big leader, that’s remarkable!

Factory Director Fang realized the same, intensifying his desire to recruit Jiang Cheng.

Other representatives thought: This trip was worth it!

Jiang Cheng was also slightly surprised.

She didn’t know the big leader; if she guessed correctly, it was the upright Factory Director Sun who made an effort.

Jiang Cheng contained her thoughts, confidently leading the way forward, her demeanor appropriate and dignified, making even the big leader smile, appearing amiable.

After some simple exchanges, everyone took their seats, and Jiang Cheng then took to the stage with a microphone.

"Thank you to all the leaders, all the guests, dear neighbors, thank you for your support of the anti-abduction anti-scam propaganda play..."

The evening school drama performance officially began.

After saying a few simple words, Jiang Cheng stepped off the stage, leaving it entirely to the students performing the play.

The drama comprised four acts.

Each act is a complete story of abduction, with connections between them.

The script was written by Jiang Cheng, quickly drawing the audience into the plot, with eye-catching conflicts and contradictions.

The audience below had an omniscient perspective, so they knew who the traffickers were.

They would become fully immersed as the plot deepened.

When they saw the children see through the traffickers’ tricks, they couldn’t help but applaud.

When they saw someone truly deceived and taken away, they became anxious, wishing they could jump onto the stage themselves.

The initially uninterested factory directors were also drawn in.

The plot twists were rather dramatic, with significant reversals.

In the final act, a kidnapped woman suddenly burst out, revealing herself to be an undercover agent among the traffickers.

In the drama, this undercover female agent, after enduring hardships, managed to send out the message. When the police arrived, she sacrificed herself to protect a child.

At the moment of sacrifice, her gaze directed towards the arriving police, leaving behind the most beautiful smile in the world.

Thus, the play ended.

The audience was very quiet, quiet enough for the performers on stage to start their curtain call.

"Clap clap clap clap"

Thunderous applause erupted, from the front row, back row, even teachers and Principal Wang who hadn’t seen the rehearsal, each wishing they had four hands.

"Bravo!"

"Amazing!"

"Splendid!"

Tumultuous applause and cheers echoed.

The students on stage were moved to tears of joy, shoulder to shoulder, they walked to the front of the stage, bowing to express their thanks.

Jiang Cheng waited a while before returning to the stage, holding the microphone and standing in the center.

"Was it exciting or not?"

"Exciting!"

"Was it good or not?"

"Good!"

After stirring the atmosphere, Jiang Cheng invited all the actors and all evening school staff and students on stage, everyone stood in formation.

"Next, please enjoy the anti-abduction safety song presented by all the evening school staff and students."

Jiang Cheng took a few steps back, standing at the edge, amidst everyone’s curious eyes, everyone spoke in unison.

Their voices were clear and organized.

"Strangers offering food and drink, don’t reach out..."

"Help seekers, don’t believe, I’m young, find my parents."

"Unknown faces taking me away, shout loudly for help."

"When going out, stay with parents..."

...

With the recitation from all the evening school staff and students, a big white sheet rolled down from above the movie screen, with the safety song written in red ink.

After the first round finished, Jiang Cheng seized the opportunity to say, "Everyone together!"

"Strangers..."

All spoke in unison. Even those who couldn’t read joined in, emphasizing participation.

A drama performance, unexpectedly stirred by Jiang Cheng, felt like a concert scene.

After the second round finished, Jiang Cheng returned to the center of the stage.

"The evening school’s anti-abduction performance has ended, but our expression of gratitude hasn’t ended."

"Today’s venue setup was provided by various factories, thank them for letting us use it for free."

"They found time amidst their busy schedules to support us, besides thank you, I don’t know what else to say."

Jiang Cheng spoke sincerely and emotionally.

"Please allow me to express my gratitude once again here."

As Jiang Cheng spoke, student actors, holding fresh wildflowers and wearing bright red scarves, presented them to each factory director.

Those receiving flowers stood up, nodded, and smiled.

They made a mark! Absolutely made a mark!

After the last one finished, Jiang Cheng spoke again:

"Lastly, may our children, the future of Hua Xia, grow strong and flourish like sunflowers!"

With these words, Jiang Cheng raised her left hand.

Everyone behind her raised their hands, each person holding a piece of fabric painted with a sunflower pattern, unfolding piece by piece to form a giant sunflower.

While everyone watched the flower, Factory Director Fang focused on the patchwork bags hanging over the shoulders of several people in front, used for putting away the fabric pieces.

Such coincidence?
