The rehearsal work ended at 12 o'clock in the evening. Everyone was already very hungry.
Secretary Chen has been accompanying us all the time. He actually doesn't have to do anything, but he is still busy, even if it is such a small thing as handing a bottle of water to our staff.
After the rehearsal, Secretary Chen suddenly said to me: "You have all worked hard and worked so late. Please inform me that I have arranged meals. Can you find them at Jixiang Farmhouse?"
"Secretary Chen, it's so late, is the farmhouse still open?"
"Yes, I have already said hello to them."
"Thank you very much, Secretary Chen."
"I'm the one thanking you. You see you are still working hard at this late hour."
"Isn't it the same for you? Secretary Chen, we are really honored to have a leader like you in Shenglong Town. As a Shenglong Town person, I would like to thank you for your help to our Shenglong Town."
"That's right. I'm not a leader, I'm just a servant of the people." Secretary Chen said modestly.
To be honest, the changes in our town have been really big since Chen Zhixiang became the secretary of Shenglong Town, which only happened in this year.
He is really a good leader, and he is also young, less than forty years old.
His official career is by no means limited to being a secretary in Shenglong Town, but a higher pursuit.
Under the leadership of Chen Zhixiang, I took my company colleagues to the farmhouse.
While eating, Chen Zhixiang and I discussed some arrangements for tomorrow, such as when the activities will start and when they will end.
In addition, if I needed any help, we talked very carefully, and Chen Zhixiang even wrote down everything I said with a pen.
I was still chatting with him after the meal, but we were talking about things that had nothing to do with work.
Only then did I learn that he originally studied civil engineering in college and had never thought about entering a professional career.
It's just because of his father, who is a deputy section chief of the Ministry of Agriculture and has been rooted in rural grassroots construction all his life.
But his father suffered from severe myocardial infarction, but he refused to listen to his family's advice and insisted on taking root in the countryside.
He later died in a field and was discovered two days later.
When he was packing up his father's belongings, he saw this sentence in the diary left by his father: Our life is gifted, and we can only get life by giving our life.
After that, he decided to take the civil service examination. He wanted to truly understand this passage in his father's diary.
I asked him if he knew what this sentence meant now?
He shook his head and said that he didn't understand it thoroughly yet and needed to continue working hard.
I talked to him very late that night, and I even told him about some of my current difficulties, and he was very understanding.
He told me that I must stick to my own ideas, because the original intention is difficult to maintain.
I can understand this, just like there is a saying: It is easy to conquer a country, but difficult to defend it.
Chen Zhixiang and I had a great conversation, and we even made an appointment to go hiking and fishing together.
After chatting with him, I realized that he and I had so much to talk about, and we sympathized with each other. I understood his thoughts, and he understood mine.
It wasn't until about two o'clock in the night that he sent me home.
I didn't go to the hotel to stay. After all, I had gone home. My mother was at home alone. How could I go to the hotel to stay?
My mother knew I was coming back, but it was so late and she was already asleep.
I didn't wake her up, and after washing myself gently, I went back to the room and lay down.
This bedroom was lived in by An Lan before. My mother often cleans it. The room is very clean and the sheets and bedding are all new.
Just when I was lying on this bed, my mind began to imagine the feeling of An Lan beside me, and gradually I fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I woke up before the alarm clock rang.
When I got up, my mother was already making breakfast.
I went downstairs and said hello to my mother and chatted with her for a while.
After having breakfast at home, I rushed to the hotel in the town.
Colleagues have also gotten up and are having breakfast at the breakfast bar downstairs of the hotel. Gao Sheng is still arranging tasks for them.
Seeing me coming, Gao Sheng asked me: "Boss, we are all ready. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Just one thing, I know it's the first time for everyone to do offline activities, but don't be nervous and just try your best."
After saying that, I looked at Liu Qinglan and Yun'er and said to them: "Yun'er, you and Liu Qinglan will follow me later. Let's set up a temporary live broadcast room. The others can just follow Mr. Gao's arrangements."
After everyone agreed, I took Liu Qinglan and Yuner with me, and then drove the car loaded with equipment to the orchard.
I plan to set up the live broadcast room in an orchard, where workers are busy, so that I can better appreciate the original ecological feeling.
Everyone got busy, and Secretary Chen also called me to ask if I needed any arrangements. I asked him to help me find two or three workers because I needed to build a live broadcast room.
Soon, three big brothers came, and under my leadership we started setting up a live broadcast room.
Yoona and Liu Qinglan were not idle either. They both went to learn about the products and went to the orchard to experience them for themselves.
I really like this kind of busyness, because I can quickly see the results of my busy work, and it also makes me feel that time goes by very quickly.
And all the answers I want are approaching me quickly.
Another hour later, my live broadcast room was almost completed, and news came from Gao Sheng that everything was ready.
Chen Zhixiang also called me at this time. On the phone, he said to me excitedly: "Xiao Chen, let me tell you some good news. Guess how many people are paying attention to the public account you asked me to create before?"
"Are there a thousand people?" I estimated that there would be at least a thousand people at the scene.
"Ten times! A total of 10,000 people. This is the information fed back by the Propaganda Department so far, which means that another 10,000 people have been confirmed to participate in this event."
This number is indeed beyond my expectation. Although I could have imagined it, 10,000 people came to the scene. This is the power of Internet celebrities!
This proves that this is an era of Internet celebrities. Just through promotion on social platforms, 10,000 people came. It seems that this is an unprecedented offline live broadcast event.
Chen Zhixiang also told me that all roads are now blocked and he is arranging traffic police to clear them.
After three big brothers and I quickly set up the live broadcast room, I went to the activity center.
It was already crowded, but Chen Zhixiang had arranged various departments, the order was maintained fairly well, and the people who came were all very qualified.
The concert site has also begun to warm up, and there is a warm wave of excitement, which is even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
This atmosphere sets off the various fruits and vegetables in the fields, rendering the place like another small world away from the real world.
Half an hour before the event started, Chen Zhixiang came to the stage. He looked very calm and started to introduce the event with a microphone in his hand.
At this moment, I suddenly received a call from Yoona.
"Brother Chen Feng, there seems to be something wrong with the communication equipment in our live broadcast room, and the connecting cable seems to be out of order. Come over and have a look."
On the phone, Yoona said to me anxiously.
I checked the time and saw that it was ten o'clock in ten minutes. Our plan was to start broadcasting at ten o'clock.
