Training the Heavens

Chapter 48 Official Document Writing
Zhang Changqing frowned. "I called you to a meeting today to listen to your suggestions. Whether it's Gao Jialin or other new members of the Student Union, everyone has the right to speak!"

Why are you interrupting your leader? And you probably haven't figured out what "Second Classroom" means to Zhang Changqing yet? This is a key task the League has repeatedly emphasized; Zhang Changqing's progress depends entirely on it.

As a result, what you came up with failed to satisfy others, and you still stopped them from listening to other people's opinions. That's because you are still in college, and Zhang Changqing gave him some face. If you enter the workplace in the future and meet a leader with a bad temper, he will ask you to get out immediately.

Wang Weihua was stunned. Zhang Changqing had always been pleasant when talking to him before, so why was he suddenly angry today? He hung his head, not daring to interrupt.

"Jialin, tell me something!" Zhang Changqing saw that Gao Jialin wanted to speak, so he asked again.

Gao Jialin finally spoke, "Teacher Zhang, after listening to your speech, I have a general understanding of the 'Second Classroom'. The higher-ups called for the 'Second Classroom' activity to help our college students strengthen their contact with society and stop them from being greenhouse flowers in ivory towers. It is also to improve the overall quality of college students so that they can quickly integrate into the workplace after entering society and contribute to the country's four modernizations. I wonder if my understanding is correct?"

"Your understanding is correct. 'Second Classroom' has many purposes, and the two you mentioned are indeed the most core ones!" Zhang Changqing glanced at Wang Weihua. You are already a junior now, how come your comprehension ability is not even as good as that of a freshman?

"In that case, I have two suggestions! First, we should invite experienced cadres from the city's education and youth league systems to come to the school to conduct 'official document writing' training to improve our practical writing skills. That way, when we arrive at the unit in the future, we can start working as soon as possible!"

Zhang Changqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was a great idea! The Chinese Department currently taught mainly knowledge about literary appreciation and writing, but it was indeed lacking in official document writing.

He'd often heard complaints from receiving institutions: "How come the students from your Chinese department can't even write a proper notice?" "What on earth did they learn in four years of college?" Zhang Changqing was often speechless.

If we invite experienced writers to fill this gap, then the graduates of the Chinese Department of Pujiang College will immediately gain the favor of their leaders when they arrive at the workplace.

The best thing to do is to invite cadres from the education system and the Youth League system to come for training. These two departments are directly under the management. If we invite their people to come, any slight achievements will be heard by the leaders.

"Okay, this is a great suggestion! The Youth League hopes to improve the overall quality of college students through the 'Second Classroom' initiative. Official document writing is a very important skill, and mastering it in advance will greatly benefit students' future development!" Zhang Changqing immediately made the decision, "I'll personally take charge of this task. Gao Jialin, He Sihan, and Gao Xiaofeng, you will assist me in completing this task!"

"Okay!" Several students accepted the task.

"Jialin, you just said you had two suggestions. What's the other one?" Zhang Changqing asked with a smile. The first suggestion was quite good. If the second suggestion was also at this level, the Chinese Department would definitely be in the spotlight this year.

"I read in the newspaper that some universities have launched a letter-writing campaign for frontline soldiers. Then I thought that there must be many military families in our area who also need to communicate with their families. However, not every household can write letters. So, can we go to their homes to help them write and mail letters, and do other things for them within our capabilities?"

Now the south has entered a period of rotation warfare, and this process will continue for several years, so if this activity is effective, it can continue.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Changqing couldn't help but applaud. Supporting the military is also a very important job. Helping military families write letters is a step higher than college students writing letters directly to the soldiers. This suggestion can also be brilliant.

"Wu Wenxing, Cui Zhiyong, Gao Jialin, you guys form a team and help me get this done!" Zhang Changqing assigned tasks again, but this time, he still didn't mention Wang Weihua's name. "Teacher, what about me?" Wang Weihua panicked when he saw that everyone else had received their tasks, but he still hadn't.

"Just give your writer lectures. As long as you can invite writers, I will definitely support you!" Zhang Changqing said expressionlessly.

Wang Weihua was stuck. At most, he had published articles in the school newspaper and a third-rate literary magazine. How could he know any famous writers? He had proposed this plan hoping to get the school to take charge, but Zhang Changqing had thrown the task at him. He really didn't know what to do.

"Jialin, go back and write out these two plans immediately. Once you're done, give them to me. I'll take a look and then call a meeting with the relevant students! If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to come and see me!"

Zhang Changqing will not call Wang Weihua at the next meeting.

When we returned to the dormitory, Room 404 was packed, and everyone was listening attentively to the conversation between Hu Wenzhong and Kate Flower on the tape recorder.

After finishing a short section of the conversation, Ma Chuanjie pressed the stop button. "Let's stop here for today. Jialin must be tired after revising the manuscript for so many days. I'll go find the teacher tomorrow and get us a classroom. We can continue listening then!"

The classmates also understood the situation and thanked Gao Jialin one after another, then left quietly, and the dormitory returned to peace.

At this time, his roommates asked him about the process of revising the manuscript. Gao Jialin found some interesting stories to tell, then pulled out the lazy desk and started writing the two plans. After finishing them, he handed them to Zhang Changqing. Zhang Changqing was very satisfied. After making some minor revisions, he arranged for the student union cadres to get busy.

The first course to be launched was the official document writing training course. Zhang Changqing borrowed a large classroom that could accommodate about 200 people. Considering his own development path, he chose the latter between the education system and the Youth League system, and invited a famous writer from the Municipal Youth League Committee to teach the students.

Everything was ready, and notices were posted on bulletin boards throughout the school, calling on students to come and attend the class.

An hour before the training course started, Zhang Changqing arrived at the classroom early. He was afraid that too few people would come, and not only would the activity fail, but he would also become a laughing stock in the group system.

Wang Weihua also came, but he hoped that the activity would fail so that you, Gao Jialin, could be the center of attention. If the classroom is empty later, I wonder if Teacher Zhang will still be nice to you.

He also didn't think the activity could be carried out. Writing official documents is so boring. Who would like to hear this?

If no one is there by then, we'll just be able to watch the joke.

　The timing is wrong again, so I'll just add more chapters for everyone. Please read on.
