Chapter II: Publicity
Lin Xinlu.
According to Cheng Qing's own impression, this is a girl with a good personality, especially hard work, and very beautiful and cute. And their intersection started from an incident in the first year of high school.
That day is hard to forget even when Cheng Qing thinks back now, even if he has a casual attitude towards everything in life.
It was a rare rainy day.
Soon after the first year of high school began, the cultural festival activities in the fall were ushered in. In order to improve the quality of the event, the school decided to carry out great publicity during the preparation of the event.
The propaganda task was completed by some classes in the first year of high school. The task of the school is to select a number of students from each class and distribute a certain number of pamphlets to promote it, and the time is set after school.
Since the order of the classes to complete the tasks was not easy to set arbitrarily, a lottery was held.
Coincidentally, on the first day, Cheng Qing's class was in charge, with a total of 200 brochures. A total of 50 copies were distributed to four people at the four gates of the school, south, east, and west, and to other students in the school.
And Cheng Qing and Lin Xinlu were also selected at the same time at this time.
Cheng Qing absolutely refused, because it was too tiring to send this brochure to others, not only did she have to stand at the school gate for a long time, but she also had to shout out attractive propaganda content to win the attention of others.
However, the homeroom teacher cordially called him to the office for a conversation, most of the content of the conversation Cheng Qing didn't remember, but it was almost the same as his mother, the teacher wanted him to become more obvious and more enthusiastic about life, so he gave him a task.
And in the end, when Cheng Qing had no choice but to take the task and leave the office, the teacher also gave Cheng Qing a cup of freshly brewed tea.
So Cheng Qing decided to complete the task with the mentality of trying to send as much as possible.
For Cheng Qing, this kind of thing is not too difficult. He didn't plan to rush out of the classroom to hand out pamphlets after the bell rang for the last class of the school.
There are club activities after the last class at school. And the end time of club activities is not the same.
But Cheng Qing didn't plan to set his sights on those students who had club activities, he set his sights on students who had not joined clubs like him.
These students who do not participate in the club will collect their school bags and go home on time when the bell rings for the end of the last class. If Cheng Qing also gets out of class according to this bell and rushes to the school gate to distribute brochures, it will be very energy-consuming to talk about it, and the crowd after school will definitely lose a lot.
In addition, pamphlets were distributed separately at each of the four school gates, and the average number of people at each gate during the first wave of crowds was not very large.
And then the second wave, the third wave...... The crowd is the students who leave the campus due to different activities at the end of different clubs. However, it is too sparse, and the waiting time is not certain.
If it's long, it will waste a certain amount of time. Therefore, Cheng Qing decisively ruled out the option of waiting for the crowd behind.
Cheng Qing's plan was to report to the teacher before the last class, and make a request to leave class five minutes early to hand out the brochure on the pretext of handing out the brochure.
In this way, Cheng Qing will have enough time to prepare, and she will not miss some students, and the overall efficiency will be improved a lot.
It just so happened that the teacher in charge of the last class was the homeroom teacher. After learning Cheng Qing's purpose, the teacher agreed to Cheng Qing's request. Because after all, the task was given to Cheng Qing by the teacher himself.
At the last class of the day, it was five minutes before the end of class.
The teacher paid attention to the time on his watch and said, "There are still five minutes before the end of class, and the four students who need to distribute brochures can now prepare for the distribution task. ”
Cheng Qing took out the fifty brochures from the drawer, and instead of walking with the other three people who distributed the brochures, she walked straight to the outside of the classroom.
When I chatted with them along the way and slowly walked to the school gate, I am afraid that the time has long been running out, and the five minutes of this application have been in vain.
Cheng Qing thought so, and then walked down the stairs.
As he walked, he did not forget to pay some attention to this year's brochure, which was produced by the school very carefully. As far as he knew, in previous years, there was no such treatment as brochures, just a bunch of simple leaflets.
This year's brochure is extremely delicate, the colors are very bright, and the waterproof material is used, which is enough to make people feel serious.
"The school is really serious this time."
Cheng Qing thought in her heart. Because he was holding fifty brochures, he couldn't open the brochures to watch the contents inside, but just the surface had already made Cheng Qing give great appreciation to the school in his heart.
The sound of "jingle bell" was heard, which was also the bell for the end of the last class. At this time, it was the time when Cheng Qing arrived at the school gate and had already sorted out the brochure and thought of the propaganda words.
However, it was not long before the crowd was gradually approaching the school gate. After Cheng Qing watched the crowd, she placed some of the brochures neatly on the ground and picked up the other part of the brochures.
"Students, the campus cultural festival is about to be held, and this year's cultural festival has more innovations than previous years, such as...... There are also mysterious guests who will meet the students on campus......"
Cheng Qing's plan is to start with the content of the campus cultural festival to attract the attention of others.
Because she had already put down some of the brochures, and the little time she had just taken to the school gate to watch the contents roughly, Cheng Qing could rely on her memory and occasionally flip through the brochures to retell the contents with a little embellishment for other students.
And Cheng Qing deliberately spread out some of the brochures piled on the ground neatly, so that all passers-by could notice the exquisite cover and production of the brochure.
After all, even a person like him, who is not very enthusiastic about life, can pay attention to it after seeing the brochure. Not to mention the others.
And Cheng Qing considered that more importantly, many of these students were in groups. For example, some brothers, some sisters go home together from school. If he catches the attention of one of these little groups, the other, and maybe all the other people in the group, will be attracted to it, and he will take a copy of the brochure out of curiosity.
I have to say that Cheng Qing's thoughts and practices determine the extremely fast efficiency of his distribution of brochures, but it didn't take long for the bunch of brochures that seemed to be quite large to be distributed.
"I guess all the people in the class should have left, whether it was coming home from school or participating in club activities, except for the other three." Cheng Qing looked at the watch in his hand, and then estimated it himself.
He decided to walk back to work right away, grab his bag and go home from school. However, his idea did not come true immediately, because Cheng Qing still had a brochure in his hand.
Although Cheng Qing generally has no interest in this kind of thing, the serious and exquisite packaging, painting, and content still make Cheng Qing pay attention to it for a long time.
When Cheng Qing walked to the class, he first looked around.
All but him and the other three people in the class had already carried their bags. That is, he is the fastest of the four to complete the task.
Cheng Qing once again felt reaffirm of the fact that she had saved five minutes by not leaving the classroom with them.
However, what made his attention drift a little was that the schoolbag of his classmate at the right table was in a state of falling to the ground at this time.
I guess some of the people who stayed after school to clean accidentally knocked off their bags.
However, Cheng Qing did not have the idea of picking up this bag in her heart, and more is better than less.
And because of his attitude towards life, Cheng Qing does not have too deep contacts with the people in the class. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do the idea of taking a quick step ahead of those three people just now. If he didn't know it, he couldn't explain if he broke the bag when he picked it up, or if something valuable had fallen out of it.
Forget it, let's pick it up.
It seemed that there was still compassion in her heart, Cheng Qing picked up the bag, put it on the table of the classmate on the right, and patted the dust by the way.
It seems to be called...... Lin Xinlu ...... bar.
Cheng Qing didn't deliberately memorize everyone's names, but she could vaguely remember everyone through the names the teacher called in class.
He walked up to the podium, picked up the paper class seating chart and took a cursory look, found the seat corresponding to his name, and then looked at the person on the right of the seat, it was indeed Lin Xinlu.
Cheng Qing put down the seating table, then carried her schoolbag and prepared to go home from school, after all, she had been delayed at school for a long time.
Just as she was about to walk out of the classroom door, Cheng Qing ran into two people.
Those two people were also involved in this leaflet distribution mission, except for Lin Xinlu.
"By the way, Cheng Qing, have you seen Lin Xinlu?"
Cheng Qing originally wanted to ignore the two of them and leave the classroom directly, but helplessly, one of the two opened his mouth to ask him a question.
You know who I am, and I think I have a little memory of my classmates.
This was Cheng Qing's first thought.
If you pretend not to see each other, you ignore it. However, if someone else takes the initiative to ask questions, and he doesn't answer, it is clear that he destroys the surface friendly relationship between classmates, and it is also a concrete manifestation of impolite behavior.
Even if he didn't know the answer to the question, he still had to answer it as a sign of respect.
After Cheng Qing's thoughts flew in his mind, he stopped, looked at the classmate who asked him, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know where that classmate is, but she didn't take her bag, so she should still be on a propaganda mission." ”
When he answered questions, he did not forget to look at the people who asked him. A name slowly popped into his head.
Chen Jiayan.
For her, Cheng Qing was not very impressed, and she only remembered the name a little.
"Oh, thank you, Cheng Qing."
Chen Jiayan and the people next to her politely thanked each other.
The person next to Chen Jiayan, Cheng Qing also saw that the person was called Xiao Zhixin, and he belonged to a member of the group of girls.
"Are you going to go to her, are you going to go home together?"
Cheng Qing didn't care to ask more.
"Oh, the two of us will go home together first, because Xiao Zhixin has some things to do, and she may not be able to wait any longer."
Chen Jiayan continued to answer.
"Oh, that's right."
Cheng Qing nodded, and it was not good to continue to ask why he had to go one step ahead of his companion in this weather, so he just answered casually.
"Cheng Qing, it's starting to rain outside, if the umbrella is still in the classroom, remember to bring the umbrella."
Just as Cheng Qing was about to leave, Chen Jiayan reminded Cheng Qing loudly.
"Thank you, my umbrella is in my bag, and I will take it out when I walk out of the school building."
"Well, that's good, see you later."
Chen Jiayan said with a smile.
"Oh...... See you later. ”
Cheng Qing was a little surprised by her way of saying goodbye to her, but she still returned the salute.
Looking at the backs of the two leaving, it seems that they are still talking about something, and it seems that there is a little contradiction about some opinions, maybe whether to continue to wait for Lin Xinlu.
After Cheng Qing walked out of the classroom, came to the corridor, and was about to go downstairs, a cold wind suddenly blew, making Cheng Qing experience the feeling of a sudden drop in temperature.
He opened his school bag, the second layer of which contained a long-sleeved jacket. It was his mother, along with his sister, urging him to take it.
With Cheng Qing's character, in the recent past summer, he will not take up the space in his schoolbag to pack a piece of clothing. However, his mother and sister agree that autumn cools down quickly and is extremely prone to catching a cold in the rapid change in temperature.
Moreover, Cheng Qing's class ordered a batch of class uniforms, but because the autumn clothes have not yet been customized, only the summer clothes have arrived first. The class decided to wear the summer uniform first when the summer was still warm, so as to show off the class style.
But the men's only one shirt is short sleeves and long pants, so Cheng Qing's mother and sister asked him to bring a dress to keep warm.
"It's so happy to have this kind of mother and sister at home." Cheng Qing took out a long-sleeved jacket from the second layer and put it on, and the cold feeling dissipated a lot in an instant.
Cheng Qing walked down the teaching building, and was blocked by the pouring rain.
He opened his bag, rummaged through it slightly, and took out an umbrella from it. The umbrella is not too big and may not be enough for two people to share together.
Cheng Qing held an umbrella and walked into the rain. Thinking of Chen Jiayan's reminder just now, I couldn't help but think of Lin Xinlu, who was also their friend but was not waited. There is also a picture of her accompanying them to the various gates of the school before.
I hope she can come back soon, this weather is too easy to cause colds.
Cheng Qing felt the loud sound of heavy raindrops falling on the umbrella, and she was still worried for Lin Xinlu, who was still outside, for a while.
