Cen Jiexiao was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Oh my god! This is possible! Hasn't Brother Yu become the spokesperson for the eye mask?" Her voice was full of surprise and excitement.

Xiaozhi smiled and nodded: "Yes, Dean, Brother Yu's story has touched many people. He and Sister A Cai have become role models for many people."

Cen Jiexiao smiled and sighed, "Life is truly unpredictable. They both went through so much hardship back then. I really hope they are finally getting their reward."

Xiaozhi added seriously, "Hey, Dean, what's the spokesperson you just mentioned?"

Cen Jiexiao explained with interest, "For example, Xiaozhi, you're now the spokesperson for our Zhaoyin Academy. Um... yes, it has to be you. Don't believe me, if you were in my 'friend's' hometown, you'd definitely be a huge celebrity, with millions of fans and a bunch of boys flocking to you."

After hearing this, Xiaozhi was so shy that her face turned as red as a peach.

Chen Zigui also spoke up, analyzing the situation seriously: "Dean, the most important thing right now is to spread the word. Just by spreading a touching story about dock workers, we can mobilize the entire dock worker community."

“Once it’s widely promoted, it will attract attention, expose more injustice and darkness, and let everyone know the truth. Its impact will definitely cause a stir and cannot be underestimated.”

Cen Jiexiao and Xiaozhi nodded at the same time to show their agreement.

Cen Jiexiao sighed inwardly, "The power of communication really cannot be underestimated, both now and in the future."

Cen Jiexiao pondered for a moment, then raised her lips. "We're currently short on funds. I suggest publishing 'Women's New Youth' every seven days. This way, we can centralize the release of information and save costs. Then, I'll contact a few businesses and ask them to purchase promotional space in our newspaper. We'll then charge them a fee, killing two birds with one stone."

Chen Zigui nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of warm affirmation. "This is indeed a good idea. I'm familiar with many local businesses. When the old dean was still alive, I accompanied him to visit several times. Those who have received his kindness will also consider it with some consideration. As for distribution, I will do my best to coordinate resources to ensure the smooth distribution of the newspaper."

Cen Jiexiao looked at Chen Zigui gratefully and said, "Big Brother, thank you for taking care of all the matters of the academy."

Chen Zigui smiled and waved his hand, signaling Cen Jiexiao not to be polite: "It's my duty, you don't have to say that."

After saying this, Chen Zigui turned and walked towards the academy to teach the students. Cen Jiexiao looked at his back and felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Cen Jiexiao's mind was full of mixed thoughts at this moment. She had to go and see with her own eyes how much of a stir the newspaper she had founded had stirred in the hearts of the people, and whether it had really become their inner voice as Xiaozhi said.

Cen Jiexiao believed that the newspaper's widespread recognition was a positive development, but she also worried about whether it would truly fulfill her intended role. She needed to personally understand local life and examine the effectiveness of the "Women's New Youth" newspaper and press corps. Only then could she find the right solution and help the "Women's New Youth" better serve the public.

"Xiaozhi, call Yulan tomorrow and we'll go see how big a stir the 'New Women Youth' movement has created!" Cen Jiexiao instructed Xiaozhi excitedly.

The three of them braved the scorching weather and came to the streets of Linkang. The streets were still bustling with people and cars coming and going.

Even though they had umbrellas to block the sun, they were still sweating after walking for so long. So they found a tea stall to rest for a while and have some tea.

The tea stall is simple and refreshing, with a few wooden tables and a thatched shed forming a sunshade, giving people a comfortable feeling of avoiding the summer heat.

After the three of them sat down, they called the stall owner and ordered a few cups of summer-cooling tea and some refreshing snacks. The stall owner greeted them with a smile and quickly served them the inexpensive tea and snacks.

As they slowly savored their herbal tea and took a leisurely rest, they noticed that the chatter at several nearby tables was getting increasingly lively, with occasional comments and opinions about the "Women New Youth" coming out. This piqued their curiosity.

"I say, the brothers working at the Linkangfu dock have been walking with the wind recently. Have you heard about it?" A big man with a dark face said to the person sitting next to him with a smile.

"What's going on? Did the workers at the dock encounter something happy? I go there often." The person sitting next to me asked with a puzzled look.

"You don't know yet, right? Our Zhaoyin Academy in Linkang Prefecture has organized a group of young girls to run around Linkang Prefecture. They even gave it a nice name called the 'Press Corps'." The dark-faced man explained slowly.

"This group of young girls went everywhere to look for people from all walks of life, saying they were interviewing them. They took notes one by one, and helped many common people write many letters to the prefect, Lord Han. It is said that this academy was originally a place to teach people to read. Maybe after the head of the academy was replaced by a girl, the academy seemed to have changed. Many girls from poor families could go to study there, even the second girl from Zhang Sanhe's family next door to my house went there." The black-faced man continued.

"I know everything you said, but what does this have to do with the workers at the dock?" The person sitting next to me still looked confused.

The dark-faced man chuckled. "'Young Women,' the magazine founded by Zhaoyin Academy, is incredibly popular in Linkang Prefecture right now. A single copy is circulated among dozens of people. I just didn't get my hands on this issue, didn't I? If you have one, just turn to the page about the dock workers and you'll know."

"'New Women Youth'? What is that?" The person sitting next to me was confused.

The dark-faced man lowered his voice in a mysterious tone, "Hey, I can tell you're not well-educated. This 'New Youth of Women' is the new newspaper published by Zhaoyin Academy! Besides, it's all about the affairs of ordinary people!"

"Our own affairs? What can we write about? Can we write about how much money I lost in the gambling house yesterday?" The person sitting next to me laughed, obviously not believing what the black-faced man said.

"Go away, you just talk nonsense! What's written in this 'Young Women' are all serious things! I heard that the foremen at the dock were exposed for withholding wages a few days ago by this newspaper! Look, those foremen are honest now and pay the wages in full, for fear of being targeted by this newspaper again!" The black-faced man explained proudly, as if he had experienced it all personally.

"Is this true? Is this newspaper so powerful?" The person sitting next to me was skeptical.

"Of course not! Let me tell you, this newspaper was founded by the new dean of Zhaoyin Academy! Dean Cen is no ordinary person. I heard that she..."

The dark-faced man wanted to continue boasting, but was interrupted impatiently by the person sitting next to him: "Alright, alright, I know you're well-informed. Tell me, how did you get this 'Young Heroine'? I want to see what's in the newspaper, too!"

The dark-faced man smiled smugly, "This 'Young Heroes'? Even if you have money, you can't buy it. You have to queue up at the entrance of Zhaoyin Academy, and each person is limited to one copy!"

"What? We have to queue? This is too troublesome!" the person sitting next to me complained.

"Trouble? You'll have to bear with it! This 'Heroine New Youth' is a hot commodity right now. If you don't line up early, you won't be able to get it!"

The sound of conversation at the tea stall reached Cen Jiexiao's ears. She took a sip of tea calmly, a smug smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems that the influence of this 'Young Female Warrior' has begun to improve." Cen Jiexiao put down the teacup and turned to look at Yu Lan and Xiao Zhi.

Yu Lan nodded and said seriously, "Dean, you're right, but we can't let our guard down. I have a feeling that Supervisor Li will definitely interfere in our affairs, so we must be fully prepared."

Cen Jiexiao said confidently, "Don't worry, I already have a plan..."

The sound of conversation at the tea stall grew farther and farther away, and Cen Jiexiao and the other two stood up and prepared to leave.

"Dean, it seems that the influence of these 'Young Women' is even greater than we thought." Xiaozhi said excitedly, with admiration gleaming in his eyes.

"Yes, Dean, now even the workers at the dock know about our Zhaoyin Academy." Yu Lan also said with a smile.

Cen Jiexiao smiled slightly, but her expression gradually became serious: "This is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go."

"Dean, don't worry. We agreed to stick together!" Xiaozhi and Yulan said in unison, their voices firm and powerful.
