Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire-Chapter 65: Rehearsal

After Jiang Cheng finished talking with Principal Wang, she went to watch the classmates rehearse.

Today is the weekend, and the elementary school’s temporary actors were also brought over.

There’s also an old acquaintance, Zhu Pengcheng.

The moment Zhu Pengcheng saw Jiang Cheng, he hid like a mouse seeing a cat.

In his fragile heart, Jiang Cheng is already ranked as the number one dangerous person, the big monster king who can have his parents beat him up!

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng walked over to Zhu Pengcheng with a mischievous look.

And sat right beside Zhu Pengcheng.

"Comrade Zhu, keep it up! I heard from others that you acted really well!"

"Really?"

"Of course, am I the kind of person who lies?"

Zhu Pengcheng’s head spun around in circles, seemingly not, but something doesn’t seem quite right?

The rehearsal began, although Jiang Cheng was auditing the rehearsal, she did not act arrogantly or bossy.

Not only did she not do that, but she also transformed into a mindless cheerleader, clapping enthusiastically and cheering warmly.

She single-handedly warmed up the entire venue!

The performers on stage started picking their own faults, self-correcting, and supervising each other at some point.

In any case, by the time of the last rehearsal, the performance was very good, and some people even cried.

After the rehearsal ended, Jiang Cheng immediately transformed into a life assistant, carrying a thermos to pour water for each of the classmates.

"Warm water, I’ve let it cool down, it’s good for your throat."

"Wipe your sweat, this is a new towel...."

"The principal said to thank all the students for their hard work rehearsing and performing. The towel is a reward for everyone."

...

After Jiang Cheng made a round, the classmates were all moved, demanding to rehearse a few more times.

Jiang Cheng blinked as she held the thermos.

She really didn’t mean that!

Unfortunately, the enthusiasm can’t be stopped. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The rehearsal ended at nine-thirty in the evening.

Jiang Cheng finally persuaded everyone to stop, and only then did they leave in groups, heading home.

When Jiang Cheng returned to the courtyard, she was almost scared to death by Li Chunxiang.

In the middle of the night, a long-haired woman with a white towel on her head suddenly appeared from the corner of the wall, asking you in a mournful tone: "You finally came back."

Jiang Cheng calmed her heartbeat.

"Comrade Chun Xiang, luckily my heart is strong, otherwise any normal person would be frightened to death by you."

Li Chunxiang took down the white towel from her head.

"Sorry, I was coming from washing my hair."

Jiang Cheng knew that Li Chunxiang was anxious to learn the form filling, also wanting to become a regular worker sooner in the mechanical factory.

She is currently a temporary worker.

"Let’s go."

Li Chunxiang immediately followed, being very obedient.

Jiang Cheng explained to Li Chunxiang how to use and make forms, how to flexibly adapt them, and Li Chunxiang studied very seriously.

An hour later, Li Chunxiang thanked her and left.

The next morning, Li Chunxiang waited at the door for Jiang Cheng and directly gave her a boiled egg.

After handing it over, she ran away.

Jiang Cheng said helplessly: "Why are you running, I didn’t say I don’t want it!"

Jiang Cheng chuckled and rode her bicycle to the mechanical factory.

Today the plan is to finish all translations, and then I won’t need to run around every day.

Just as well, Du Yun also will soon finish her postpartum recovery, and can return to her work at the recycling station.

Jiang Cheng was busy all morning in the mechanical factory, and during lunch she saw everyone in high spirits.

Thanks to her excellent popularity, Jiang Cheng soon found out that today was payday, and there were also Dragon Boat Festival benefits.

No wonder they were so happy!

She and Manager Guo sped up their lunch, both wanting to finish the remaining work soon.

This busy period lasted until seven in the evening.

Manager Guo, as a representative, handed over a translated and corrected document to Director Sun.

Director Sun took the thick instruction manual and expressed thanks repeatedly.

Manager Guo said with disdain: "What’s with all the thanks! Who has time to hear your chatter, hurry up and settle the bill, pay up."

Director Sun laughed heartily and said: "Don’t worry, we won’t short you at all! Your speed this time has earned us a lot of production time."

Manager Guo pointed at Jiang Cheng and said: "She contributed the most."

Jiang Cheng immediately stepped forward.

"Director Sun, I have the same thought as Manager Guo, just pay us!"

Everyone laughed heartily, and Director Sun walked a few people out of the mechanical factory and said he’d settle the payment tomorrow and send out their fees.

Having completed the translation tasks, a few people felt a great sense of relief, as if their heads were floating.

At the mechanical factory’s entrance, Manager Guo stopped Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng, have you ever thought about taking up a position at our Xinhua Bookstore?"

Jiang Cheng replied: "I took the translation certificate you gave me, doesn’t that count as being part of Xinhua Bookstore?"

"Sort of, but the basic benefits aren’t available without a formal position."

Jiang Cheng first thanked Manager Guo for his good intentions.

"Manager Guo, keep basic benefits for those who need them more! I’m personally too capable, just doing translations is enough."

"Although I can only speak three languages, I suppose it’s enough to support myself."

After saying that, Jiang Cheng confidently nodded.

Manager Guo was really speechless.

How does this girl manage to turn every conversation into self-praise?

However, he didn’t refute it.

Because what Jiang Cheng said is actually very true!!

After just a few days of interaction, he fully understood what Zhao Chengde meant by "prodigy."

Manager Guo straightforwardly said:

"Fine, you’re an external contributor, I’ll find you if there’s work!"

"That’d be great! I want to earn money too!"

After agreeing, the two parted ways, and Jiang Cheng returned to the bustling courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, Lin Jiaojiao, deliberately waiting for Jiang Cheng, started her clumsy performance as soon as she saw Jiang Cheng.

"Some people are busy every day, but haven’t earned a penny back."

"Unlike my brother, he’s a formal worker at the mechanical factory, and today he got a lot of good things from the benefits."

Jiang Cheng understood, this was a show-off.

She parked her bicycle, looked at Lin Jiaojiao and asked: "Your face doesn’t hurt anymore?"

With one sentence, Lin Jiaojiao’s expression instantly turned ugly.

Jiang Cheng didn’t indulge her, continuing: "You’re the legendary one who doesn’t mind eating a hundred peas, you’ve got shoe marks on your face, and then you turn around and run here looking for presence, seems like your brain needs a check-up."

"By the way, whether I earn money or not, I don’t rely on others for money to spend, unlike you who don’t work and live off your family, always thinking about your brother and sister-in-law, like a stirring stick every day."

Lin Jiaojiao was flustered by Jiang Cheng’s words.

Why!

Why doesn’t she get jealous!

Lin Jiaojiao just couldn’t understand why Jiang Cheng wouldn’t feel jealous!

Today, after seeing the benefits her brother received, people showered them with compliments, and their envious gazes almost stuck to their front door.

"Jiang Cheng, you’re finally back."

Li Chunxiang ran over with a net bag and said: "This is the Dragon Boat Festival benefit our factory director personally asked me to bring to you."

Jiang Cheng beamed with joy.

"Oh... how embarrassing, I’m not even a formal worker, yet they gave me a benefit. It’s really thoughtful of Director Sun!"

Lin Jiaojiao felt like she was going to explode with anger.

"What’s so arrogant about it, it’s just some benefits, there’s no salary!"

As Lin Jiaojiao finished speaking, a person walked in from outside the courtyard.

"Jiang Cheng! Finally found your house! Our recycling station paid today, the supervisor knows you were busy, so he asked me to bring your share over, calculated as a formal worker!"
