The female anchor turned into the dean of an ancient academy

"Okay, that's easy. I'll send someone to take care of it tomorrow," Han Zhengxian agreed without hesitation, then asked, "But Dean Cen, what is the specific name of this position? What is its main function? Could you please tell me?"

Seeing Han Zhengxian so forthright, Cen Jiexiao was overjoyed and quickly explained, "Master Han, this sacrificial ceremony is of extraordinary significance and crucial importance. It requires a dedicated person to oversee the overall situation and quality of the details. It also requires ensuring the smooth progress of the entire event, which involves coordinating the active cooperation of several trading companies..."

"Well, that makes sense," Han Zheng nodded first, motioning Cen Jiexiao to continue.

Cen Jiexiao continued, "And we need to make the event rich in novel elements and new ideas..."

"What President Cen said is very true. This sacrificial activity is of great importance. It really requires a capable and decisive person to coordinate the overall situation." Han Zhengxian said with deep agreement.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Cen Jiexiao stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "So, I intend to apply to Lord Han to serve as the CEO of this Great Zhou Donghai Sacrifice."

"CEO?" Han Zhengxian was slightly stunned. It was obviously the first time he heard this new word.

Cen Jiexiao quickly explained, "In short, the CEO is the person in charge of this sacrificial activity, with the highest decision-making and command authority."

Han Zhengxian pondered for a moment and asked, "Dean Cen is indeed a well-read man. It seems that I need to learn a lot from him. As for what Dean Cen just said, the issue of the CEO, that is easy to handle. I will issue a notice to the entire city of Linkang tomorrow and send the official token to Dean Cen at the same time."

"Thank you for your support, Lord Han. I hope we can cooperate with each other this time and win a 'beautiful battle' for the emperor." Cen Jiexiao was overjoyed and quickly stood up and saluted.

"I hope so. I will wait for good news. Dean Cen, it's getting late. I'll take my leave first." Han Zhengxian saw that the business was done, so he stood up and said goodbye.

"Master Han, take care."

After seeing Han Zhengxian and Qiu Yiming off, Cen Jiexiao returned to her room, the sleepiness on her face having long since disappeared.

She walked to the desk, spread out a piece of paper in the moonlight, and began to write quickly.

"A 10,000-person wishing lantern project is a massive undertaking! We need to plan it carefully..."

Cen Jiexiao was talking to herself while writing and drawing on paper. After a while, a detailed activity planning plan appeared on the paper.

Seven days is neither long nor short. If we want to complete this grand "Ten Thousand People Praying on the River" event, we must race against time to meet the Queen Mother's "KPI".

Cen Jiexiao took a deep breath, her eyes determined. "Come on, I want to see whether your trickery is better or my modern wisdom is better!"

……

At the same time, in the Linkang government office, Han Zhengxian and Qiu Yiming were talking by candlelight at night.

"Sir Han, what do you think Dean Cen is up to? What does she want so much money for?" Qiu Yiming asked in confusion.

"Let me ask you, do you think Dean Cen looks like an ordinary woman?" Han Zhengxian did not directly answer Qiu Yiming's question, but asked a question in return.

Qiu Yiming thought about it and shook his head: "Not likely. Although Dean Cen is young, he is decisive and meticulous in his work. He is definitely not an ordinary person!"

"Yes, I also think she is not simple." Han Zhengxian thought to himself, if this woman is used by His Majesty, will she become a great help to His Majesty in regaining the imperial power?

The next day, Sister Cen arrived at the meeting room early. "Zigui, Wucheng, Yulan, Xiaozhi, Wenkuan, all of you come here," Sister Cen said after everyone had arrived. "Last night, Lord Han and I discussed the East Sea Sacrifice Ceremony in detail."

Hearing the words "East China Sea Sacrifice Ceremony", several people showed puzzled expressions, only Chen Zigui nodded thoughtfully.

"Dean, have you and Lord Han reached any conclusion in your discussion?" Xiaozhi couldn't help but ask.

Cen Jiexiao smiled slightly and said, "Of course, we have come up with a bold plan. I call it a large-scale sacrificial event called 'Ten Thousand People Gathering on the Floating Bridge to Pray for Blessings and Celebrate the Celebration.'"

"Ten thousand people gathered on the floating bridge to pray for this grand event?" Wu Cheng repeated, his brow furrowed. "Dean, could you elaborate?"

"Dean, do you mean that we should mobilize 10,000 people to go to the Yuyang River to pray and light lanterns?" Yu Lan asked in disbelief.

"That's right!" Cen Jiexiao nodded affirmatively.

Cen Jiexiao's two short words were like a piece of food that was hard to swallow, blocking the throats of everyone present.

"Ten thousand people? Isn't that too many?" Although Yu Lan looked calm, she was still worried about the time issue. "Dean, we only have seven days. Will there be enough time..."

"Yes, according to the normal process, the time is definitely not enough." Cen Jiexiao nodded with a firm tone.

"That's why I asked Lord Han for the position of CEO for this East China Sea Sacrifice Ceremony. Now, all of Linkang City, regardless of the size of the business, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people, must cooperate with me as the CEO before the sacrificial ceremony is over. Of course, I can't handle so many things alone, so I'm setting up a sacrificial ceremony project team, and all of you here are core members of the project team."

Cen Jiexiao looked around, seeing the familiar faces in front of her, and felt a little emotional, thinking about when she first came here, and now, she has her own team.

Cen Jiexiao cleared her throat and continued, "I plan to set up five groups for this project, namely..."

"Group One, the Event Planning Group, is responsible for the overall process and creative planning of this sacrificial ceremony. Supervisor Chen will be the group leader."

"Don't worry, Dean!" After all, Chen Zigui is the eldest brother of the academy. He has seen many big scenes and participated in many large-scale activities. He is considered an experienced veteran, so he is naturally full of confidence in the work arranged by Cen Jiexiao.

"Alright! With what Senior Brother said, I'm relieved! Next up is Group Two, the Materials Preparation Group. They'll be responsible for all the materials needed for this event, including..." As Sister Cen Xiao spoke, she pulled out a piece of paper covered in words from her sleeve. "...Well, that includes these. Everyone, do you have anything else to add?"

Cen Jiexiao handed the paper to Wu Cheng who was sitting on her left. Wu Cheng took it and took a look. Wow, it was filled with dense small characters, covering every detail, from the river lanterns and incense sticks used for praying, to the wood and hemp ropes needed to build the floating bridge, and even the dry food and drinking water prepared for the staff. Everything was written clearly.

"Dean, is it enough time to prepare these things in two days?" Although Wu Cheng has been following Sister Cen during this period and has seen many wonderful ideas, the materials needed for this event are really too many. After all, this is an event related to the royal family. It would be a lie to say that he has no doubts in his heart.

Cen Jiexiao naturally understood Wu Cheng's concerns. She smiled slightly and said confidently, "So, this time we must make full use of the 'Imperial Sword' in our hands and maximize our advantages as 'CEOs'. I have already made an agreement with Lord Han. He will arrange for yamen runners and soldiers to assist us. He will also inform all merchants and citizens in the city to actively cooperate with us and recruit skilled craftsmen who are willing to contribute to this sacrificial ceremony. So, don't worry about the time, just go for it!"

"The dean is wise!" After listening to Cen Jiexiao's explanation, everyone felt relieved. After all, with the court and the government as their backing, many things would be much easier to handle.

"Dean, what about us?" Yu Lan asked. She knew that Cen Jiexiao was always thorough in her work, and they would definitely be involved in this arrangement.

"Yu Lan, you and Wen Kuan will be in charge of Team Three, the on-site maintenance team. Your primary responsibilities include maintaining order on-site, handling emergencies, and communicating and coordinating with authorities. Safety is paramount for this event, so I'd like to trouble you two to arrange for more personnel to ensure safety at the event site."

Yu Lan and Wen Kuan nodded to show that they understood.

"Group Four, Media and Publicity Group, this will be handled by the elites of our Zhaoyin Academy, the News and Media Department!"

Cen Jiexiao then turned her gaze to Chen Zigui, who had remained silent, and asked, "Master Chen, do you think there is anything else you need to add about this event?"

Chen Zigui put down the teacup in his hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "The dean is very considerate. I have nothing to add, but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the scale of this event is so large, and it consumes countless manpower and material resources. I don't know..." Chen Zigui hesitated to speak, as if he had something to hide.

Cen Jiexiao was very smart and naturally understood that Chen Zigui's words were full of hidden meanings, so she asked, "What do you mean?"

"I wonder if the dean has ever thought about how this activity would end if it ultimately fails to achieve the expected results?" Chen Zigui finally asked the question in his mind.

"Yes, Dean, if this event goes wrong, then we..." Xiaozhi was also a little worried. After all, this was a major event that concerned the reputation of the entire Zhaoyin Academy and even the entire Linkang City.

"If we fail, then I will..." Sister Cen Xiao smiled faintly and said in a relaxed tone, "Then I will sell all of you to foreign countries to pay off the debt!"

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked, especially Xiaozhi, who was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"Dean, you, don't joke..."

"Hahaha..." Looking at the panicked expressions of the crowd, Cen Jiexiao couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Don't worry, I am confident that this event will be a success! Zhaoyin Academy will definitely succeed."

When everyone looked at Cen Jiexiao's confident smile, the haze in their hearts dissipated a lot.

"Okay, it's getting late, everyone go back and get ready, and act now!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison, then dispersed and began to prepare for the large-scale royal sacrificial event of "Ten Thousand People Gathering on the Floating Bridge to Pray for Good Luck and Celebrate the Event".
