Training the Heavens

Chapter 43 I'm so good at this

"I was just ignorant at first, but what you said later was like an epiphany. After listening to it, I feel that my understanding of various policies has deepened a lot." Gao Jialin continued to remain humble and low-key.

"Haha, you just know a little bit less now. In the future, as you read more newspapers and articles and come into contact with more things, you will naturally understand! I will give you another task. You continue to pay attention to this evening party, and then write an article to write about the essence of our department responding to the call of the Youth League system by holding the evening party and guiding the growth of young people in the new era. How about it, can you do it?" Zhang Changqing felt that such an evening party must be well promoted, otherwise it would be a waste.

Writing promotional articles? I'm a real pro! Document management, meetings, and official duties essentially took up over 90% of Gao Jialin's working time in the last century. What were the requirements for articles in the central government agencies? Using a sledgehammer here is simply overkill.

"I will do my best to complete the task you assigned me, and strive to embody the spirit of our Youth League system leading the youth to 'hold high the banner of reform, create the four modernizations, become new people with four qualities, and be the vanguard of the reform and opening up cause'!" Gao Jialin directly threw out a string of parallel sentences.

"Yes, yes, that's the key point!" Zhang Changqing nodded repeatedly. Look at how he uses parallel sentences, it's much smoother than mine. He will definitely be able to write a good article. This time, our Chinese Department will be in the limelight!
Zhang Changqing has already made up his mind that as long as the article is well written, he will recruit Gao Jialin into the student union and train him well. Ma Chuanjie can only add luster to the party, but if Gao Jialin is used well, he can play a big role.

So he revealed a little news to Gao Jialin in advance, "After National Day, the Student Union will recruit new members, and the Propaganda Department should be a good fit for you!"

If his writing is average, he can just be a clerk in the Propaganda Department. If his writing is good, he can be promoted to deputy director of the Propaganda Department.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. I have been preparing for the evening party with them these days and recording the highlights of the process. I will write down this part first and ask for your guidance. I will finish the second half after the evening party is over!" Gao Jialin did so many things, just waiting for this.

The student unions of universities during this period are very useful. The experience of being a student union cadre will be a big plus on one's resume, and will be beneficial when assigning jobs or taking up positions in units.

If he could enter the regiment system with this experience, that would be amazing. This would be the fast lane for advancement in the next 20 years. Even if Gao Jialin plans to jump out and go into business in the future, this experience would be of great benefit.

There are many things involved in preparing for the evening party, such as costume and prop preparation, venue layout, rehearsal arrangements, etc. Young people are not so meticulous in doing things, so Zhang Changqing basically keeps an eye on the whole process to prevent Wang Weihua and others from making mistakes.

At this time, he discovered many bright spots in Gao Jialin. When props and materials arrived, Gao Jialin took out a small notebook to record the types and quantities, and moved them to a corner and put them together. He could find out who needed what immediately.

A classmate from Yunnan sang mountain songs very well, but because his family was poor, he did not have suitable performance costumes. He hid at the back before the rehearsal and no one noticed him. However, Gao Jialin saw him. He pulled the classmate outside to talk and then helped him borrow clothes privately.

The problem was solved without alarming anyone, and the student's reputation was also saved. This method of handling the problem was really appropriate.

Compared to him, junior Wang Weihua seemed a bit immature. He was too busy standing on the stage, shouting and showing off, but lacked good coordination and communication skills. Many of his classmates were no doubt complaining, even if they didn't say it out loud. There were many freshman activities this year, and if Gao Jialin continued to perform so well, he could be made vice president of the department student union next year, and even promoted to full member of the university student union in his junior year. Zhang Changqing's expectations for Gao Jialin were further raised.

As the preparations for the evening party were nearing completion, Gao Jialin had also finished writing the first half of the promotional article. Zhang Changqing first looked at the structure and began by quoting several important instructions recently issued by the Youth League system to highlight the theme.

Next, the Chinese Department of Pujiang College responded to the call and inspired the youth of the new era to work hard for the four modernizations by holding an evening party. Naturally, this should be preceded by a sentence: under the care and guidance of so-and-so, none of the leaders and teachers who attended the meeting that day were missing.

The rest are some highlights of the preparation process. These events can echo the theme and explain from different angles how the teachers and students of the Chinese Department of Pujiang College implemented the instructions from their superiors.

After reading it, Zhang Changqing stared at Gao Jialin for a long time, "Did you write all this yourself?"

Having worked in the Chinese Department for several years, he has indeed seen some students who are extremely talented in literary creation and can publish articles in newspapers and magazines at a young age.

But those were basically literary works. It was not uncommon in history for literary geniuses to be able to write good works at a young age, but he had never met anyone who could write official articles so well at such a young age.

Because official articles are different from literary works. Literary works rely on talent, while official articles rely on experience. Without a few years of experience and excellent writing skills, it is impossible to write such articles.

"I went back and read a lot of newspapers and found some similar articles for reference, and then I wrote so much! Teacher Zhang, is my writing not good?" Gao Jialin responded. In fact, he only used 30% of his ability. If he had used all his strength, wouldn't Zhang Changqing be shocked?
"No, no, no, it's not bad, it's too good, it's better than I expected! It seems that you have studied very hard and mastered the essence of the promotional article." Zhang Changqing accepted Gao Jialin's explanation.

"There are a few things that aren't quite right. For example, Secretary Tang and Director Yu from our department weren't there, but they were very concerned about the gala, so we need to include their names." Zhang Changqing took out a pen and began to scribble on the manuscript. "Also, here, there's a lack of emphasis on inspiring a sense of social responsibility. Didn't you mention this to me yesterday? How come you forgot about it when you were writing the article?"

"And here. Here." As he was revising, Zhang Changqing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. Gao Jialin is indeed talented, but does he still need guidance and correction from us teachers?
Little did he know that these problems were deliberately left for him by Gao Jialin. If you write a perfect article that cannot be changed in any word, won't the leader have no room to play? How can he be happy?
Within the system, if all you know is writing, then you'll be writing for the rest of your life! You need to think beyond that to have a chance of advancement.

After revising an article, Zhang Changqing felt as if he had drunk fine wine, and felt a sense of comfort all over his body from inside to outside.

"Okay, just fix these minor issues. When the party is over, you must immediately show me the second half!" Zhang Changqing couldn't wait to have his second glass.
