Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

Zhao Hanyu waved his hand and said, "Regarding the security of the New Year Goods Festival, the municipal government will give specific requirements, so I won't ask Director Xu for help alone."

After saying this, Xu Zhengyang almost stumbled and glared at Zhao Hanyu fiercely. Since the municipal government has made arrangements, why didn’t you say so earlier!

Are you kidding me!

The other directors were also stunned. After hearing what Zhao Hanyu said before, they all thought that Zhao Hanyu asked them to help organize the New Year Festival.

But from the tone of Zhao Hanyu's voice, that's not the case at all.

Sure enough, Zhao Hanyu continued, "I invited everyone here because I need your help with something else."

Xu Zhengyang said angrily: "If you have something to say, then don't fart!"

He really didn't want to listen to this kid's nagging anymore.

"Mr. Zhao, you say!"

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhao? Just tell me!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, given our relationship, since you asked, how can I not support you?"

"..."

The other directors did not dare to speak ill of Zhao Hanyu like Xu Zhengyang did, and they all spoke with a smile.

If it was private, with only Zhao Hanyu and one of them alone, before Zhao Hanyu said what he wanted to do, they would not express their support in advance. If they couldn't do it themselves, or there were hidden dangers after doing it, it would be troublesome to express their support in advance.

They are all people who can reach the position of director. They are not fools and will definitely put themselves in a safe position first.

But since Zhao Hanyu dared to call so many people together, it meant that Zhao Hanyu could openly ask them for help.

In other words, helping them is a favor and will not bring them any hidden dangers.

Everyone understood this point, so they agreed directly, appearing very supportive.

Zhao Hanyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I only told you about the New Year Goods Festival before, but you still don't know what to do about it. Let me tell you first..."

Then he began to talk incessantly.

Of course, his main focus was on the million-dollar grand prize, and he also emphasized the special prize of 100,000 yuan in cash, and the ten first prizes, each of which would be awarded 10,000 yuan in cash. Finally, he also emphasized that everyone would win a prize.

"Holy crap, the grand prize is actually worth 100,000 yuan!"

“Even I want to go to the lottery!”

"Who says it's not true? The winnings are legal income."

"Forget the special prize, even if I can win the first prize, that would be great!"

"Yes, the first prize is 10,000 yuan, which means you are a millionaire!"

"This prize is too big. After the New Year Goods Festival, we will have ten more millionaires in Qingwa City!"

"If this gets out, I think everyone will buy New Year's goods at the New Year's Goods Festival."

"..."

As expected, when Zhao Hanyu mentioned the million-dollar prize, all the directors became excited, some even swore, and they all discussed the matter with great interest.

"Everyone be quiet!"

Zhao Hanyu looked at the excited expressions of these directors, raised his hand to make a quiet gesture, and spoke loudly.

The room immediately became quiet.

At this time, Zhao Hanyu no longer hid his intention and directly stated the purpose of gathering them. He said, "I'm asking for help from all the leaders to see if you can sponsor me for some prizes."

what?

All the directors were stunned.

"Mr. Zhao, we sponsor the prizes?"

"What prizes can we sponsor?"

"Yeah, I'm from the Audit Bureau, and I can do nothing but check accounts! Do you want me to pay?"

"Boss Zhao, if you want to pay, our Industry and Commerce Bureau doesn't have this expenditure item. Director Yan of the Audit Bureau is still here, and he won't agree!"

"Get lost, why are you pulling my leg?"

"The Education Bureau is poor. I wanted Mr. Zhao to sponsor me a little bit. But before I even asked, you came to me to beg for alms. This tea really doesn't taste good!"

"..."

After a brief silence, Hao Chunfeng, Liao Degao, Yan Wensheng, Chen Hongbing, Shi Wenchang and others spoke up one after another. Some expressed doubts, some made jokes, and some immediately complained.

In short, everyone understood that Zhao Hanyu's purpose in looking for them this time was, as Shi Wenchang said, to beg for alms from them.

There are so many bureaus, and some of them are already short of funds. They always look for sponsorship from others. How can they have the money to sponsor Zhao Hanyu!

They couldn't help but regret having said so much before, and now they felt embarrassed to refuse.

For example, the Cultural Bureau was absolutely a poor government office in the early 1990s, and their funding was even tighter than that of the Education Bureau.

Director Chen Daosheng said awkwardly: "Boss Zhao, you are really putting me in a difficult position. If you really want to sponsor me, just move my desk over!"

His words caused many directors to laugh.

Zhao Hanyu didn't care. He looked at Chen Daosheng with a smile and said, "Director Chen, think of a solution. There are always more solutions than problems. If you use your brain to sponsor some prizes, it will be easy."

Chen Daosheng said with a bitter face: "Boss Zhao, you sponsored the Cultural Bureau's New Year celebration last year. You are not unaware of the Cultural Bureau's funding situation. What can I do?"

Several directors of low-paying offices, including Yan Wensheng of the Audit Bureau and Yue Aiguo of the Civil Affairs Bureau, all nodded in agreement.

Chen Daosheng even licked his face and said: "Boss Zhao, why don't you give me some advice!"

Originally, he was just practicing Tai Chi and he was not really prepared for what advice Zhao Hanyu could give him.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Hanyu said directly: "Okay, then I'll give you an idea."

Really... an idea?

Chen Daosheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Boss Zhao, then you tell me, as long as your idea works, I will do it for you even if I have to risk my old bones."

Zhao Hanyu laughed and said as if to enlighten him, "It's the Chinese New Year now, and every household has to put up Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year."

Chen Daosheng hadn't reacted yet, and frowned and said, "Boss Zhao, you don't want me to write couplets to sell, do you?"

He spread his hands and said, "Although I have practiced calligraphy for a few days, the words I write can't be sold for much money!"

Nowadays, during the Chinese New Year, when people in rural areas need to put up couplets, they usually bring a pack of cigarettes and red paper and ask the educated elders in the village to help write them.

In this era, almost every village has a few elderly people who have attended private schools. They are usually highly respected in the village. Usually, families would ask them to be accountants and write inscriptions for weddings and funerals.

If you really can't find anyone to write them for you, you'll buy them from stalls that specialize in writing couplets on the spot during market hours.

The price is not expensive, you can buy a pair of couplets for only three or five cents.

The price in the city is a little higher, but it's only a few cents.

Chen Daosheng didn't think that Zhao Hanyu's idea would work. Even if he worked hard for a month, he couldn't write many couplets and was simply unable to sponsor it.
