Chapter 883: One Class
“Director Ning, you told us earlier that we have actors, singers, and an all-rounder like me. Everyone could give something to the children. Physical education, music, and even academics. There are so many things to teach, how could one afternoon be enough?”
“Since we’re going, we don’t want to put on a show. Instead, we’re really going to visit the children and do our best,” Jiang Xun said. ‘We only get to spend three to four hours with the children there. How is that enough?”
“Besides, we’ve been to the Hope Primary School sponsored by Qin Yang, so we know the school’s situation better. The reason why Hope Primary School is sponsored is because there are few children in the village and it is very far from the nearest town. It’s not convenient for them to go to school. There are only the elderly and children in the village. The young people had all gone out to work, leaving the elderly and children in the village. The work of the parents outside is very hard, and they don’t not have enough time to take care of their children, so they can only leave their children behind. However, even if the children stay behind, the elderly don’t not have enough energy and physical strength to send the children to such a distant place to go to school. Qin Yang chose to build Hope Primary School in the place where these children need to go to school.”
“Because there are few children, the school is not big. There is only one class in each grade. Two classes are considered a lot. Some grades don’t even have a single class. In some schools, the children in the village could barely make up a small class with more than ten students. The children in the class are also of different ages, with a difference of several years. The children who are supposed to be in the sixth, third, and first grades are all gathered together to study the same subjects.”
“There’s really nothing that can be done about it. There aren’t many teachers, and some schools only have one teacher. Two or three is considered fortunate. They can’t form classes based on just one or two children. The best they can do is ensure that these children have access to basic education.”
“This is already very rare,” Kejia said. “In the process of learning about it, we also learned that it is not easy to run a school. This is not something that can be solved with money. They needed to find teachers and let the children attend school. They need to deal with many things in the remote villages. Some places are too remote and no teachers are willing to go there. Some places are even dangerous. First of all, they have to ensure the teacher’s safety. These are all things that Qin Yang is doing quietly.”
Jiang Xun smiled and said, “I’m not saying this to flaunt how difficult it is for Qin Yang to do it. I just want to say that there’s only one class in that school. It’s impossible for each guest to lead a class. In other words, each guest has to be in a class and show off their strengths one by one and interact with the children. In that case, will there be enough time?”
“I’ve seen the script you sent. If I remember correctly, the school we’re going to this time only has one class,” Hanbi said.
Kejia didn’t expect Hanbi to know so much. She didn’t know if it was because she had asked after receiving the script, or if the Qin family really knew the schools they sponsored so well.
“Yes, in order to achieve the greatest effect, we chose a school that is more difficult. We also hope that through the broadcast of this program, we can attract more attention and give the children better resources,” Kejia said.
“This way, it will be the situation I’m mentioned earlier. All the guests will have to take turns interacting with the children within the three to four hours. The time that everyone can interact with the children is very limited. They have to attend academics, physical education, and music classes. The queue will be so full that it will inevitably give the audience the suspicion of putting on a show,” Jiang Xun said.
“Furthermore, I don’t want to just promote the guests and bring benefits to the guests in this filming. We should also promote the teachers who have always been protecting the children in school. They are the real heroes. They are the ones who have been there with the children for years. We go there, film for a few hours, and receive praise, but what about the teachers who are really sacrificing and teaching the children? I hope that more screen time can be given to the teachers who have really given their all, not just us who have been filming for a few hours. If possible, I hope that the production team can capture videos of the teachers teaching in class, and our guests can also sit in and observe.”
“I know that this way, the effects of the program might not be as good. The audience might not really be willing to listen to the teacher’s lessons. However, I hope that we can try our best to show more scenes of teachers and children in class,” Jiang Xun said.
“Also, what are the children having for lunch? If our guests can eat together, of course, it would be best if we can eat the same lunch as the children, rather than having some nice meals specially prepared for the show,” Jiang Xun said. “This way, the netizens can have a more realistic understanding of the left-behind children.’
“So I want to go on Friday. Saturday morning, according to the children’s class time, we will be in school when the livestream begins.”
Then, Jiang Xun added, “If the other guests’ schedules are really not suitable, they can go according to the production team’s original plan. We will go on our own on Friday. On Saturday, we can wait for the other guests to arrive before filming our scenes. We won’t be filmed in school while the other guests are still on the way. It would make the netizens think that the other guests are not sincere and are putting on a show.”
Although they had only filmed two episodes, so far, there were other guests who had bought trending searches for themselves, but there had been no cases of them stepping on the other guests.
Jiang Xun had always been like this.
If others didn’t provoke her, she wouldn’t provoke them either. She would even take the initiative to think of others and not lose out.
After Jiang Xun read the script that was sent to her previously, she told Hanbi about her thoughts.
Hanbi agreed, so she gave her full authority to talk to Kejia about this matter.
From the beginning to the end, Jiang Xun had never thought of using this matter to step on the other guests.
Her original intention had always been to take this opportunity to let more people see the difficulties of left-behind children, so that more children could get help and have better learning conditions.
Qin Yang’s contributions were just a drop in the bucket.
If the production team would only arrive at noon with the guests, they did not need to film the content in the morning.
“Mom and I also want to take this opportunity to see the school and the children, “Jiang Xun said. “Every year, Qin Yang will arrange for people to go to the various schools that they support to understand the situation, identify any needs, and make improvements for the children. We will take this opportunity to go and take a look.”
Kejia thought for a few seconds and said, “Alright, I’ll go and communicate with the other three guests first and check their schedules.”
Kejia felt that as long as the other three guests didn’t have a job that they couldn’t do without, they would probably agree.
They still had to give Hanbi face.
Didn’t they come to this show to get to know Hanbi?
Since Jiang Xun had proposed this, the other guests would definitely think of a way to coordinate their work.
After hanging up, Kejia went to contact the other three guests.
On Jiang Xun’s side, the old lady nodded in agreement. “You did the right thing. We’re not going on the show to boast about how great we are. Since you really want to do something, you don’t have to care about the number of cameras.” That night, Kejia replied to Jiang Xun and Hanbi.
The other guests had no problems. They could go to Hope Primary School together on Friday and stay there.
Since the plan had changed, the production team went to the village in advance to contact the guests’ accommodation and make arrangements in advance.
Qin Yang.
Chengnan knocked on the door and entered Mufeng’s office.
“CEO,” Chengnan called out. “Regarding the invitation of A brand to enter the capital’s Qin Yang Department Store and become the first A brand boutique in China, A brand has made a request. They want C brand’s location in Qin Yang
Department Store, and they want to expand the original two-story location.”
When Mufeng heard this, he paused for a moment and casually threw the fountain pen on the table in front of him. “They want C brand’s location?”
Mufeng raised his eyebrows. “C brand has just been expanded. They expanded in Qin Yang Department Store into the world’s largest boutique. A brand can’t be unaware of this.”
“They know,” Chengnan said. “But their attitude is very firm. They’re after C brand’s location.”
“A brand and C brand are old rivals, and A brand has always been very haughty,” Chengnan said. “Although the outside world says that A brand and C brand are old rivals, A brand still looks down on C brand. However, although A brand and C brand are in different fields, the status of the two brands are actually on par.”
“It’s just that the public’s awareness of C brand is higher. Their products are also affordable for consumers to buy and use after working hard. C brand bags, ready-made clothes, and high-end clothes are all very strong. However, ready-to-wear and haute couture have a high threshold. Putting aside the haute couture, the additional cost of maintaining ready-to-wear is also high. Some are even one-time products, which ordinary consumers would not consider. However, some consumers could afford a bag that cost tens of thousands of yuan if they really liked it. Some could save up and afford it. Therefore, the popularity and purchase rate of C brand is higher.”
“A brand and C brand walk completely different paths. A brand doesn’t have these more popular products. Their clothing is mostly all kinds of fairy-like dresses and formal dresses. Few artists could even order a haute couture dress. As for ordinary dresses, they could easily reach six figures.
Since they have to save money to buy something to reward themselves, they might as well buy a bag. It’s more practical and durable. A brand’s dresses are more troublesome to take care of. Just like C brand’s ready-made clothes, they are delicate and need to be taken care of carefully. The extra costs are higher, and it’s not really for daily use. Unless they are attending an important event such as a party, they would not usually wear such clothes. However, even if it’s for an occasional dinner party or something like that, treating these dresses as one-time wear items is unlikely, unless the price is ordinary for them. Ordinary consumers would not choose such a price.”
“In addition to the marketing of A brand, A brand has unknowingly been placed in a high and mighty position that people look up to. It will give people the illusion that A brand is indeed more advanced than C brand,” Chengnan said.
Mufeng nodded.” Go and talk to A brand. We can discuss the other conditions, but we can’t give up the location of C brand to A brand. Qin Yang Department Store still has some spots that could be discussed. Moreover, the third phase is about to be completed, so A brand can choose a location for the third phase.”
As the first and only A brand boutique in China for the foreseeable future, Mufeng was very sincere about working with A brand.
Even though the other party was deliberately making things difficult for them, Qin Yang still wanted to handle it properly and negotiate with the other party.
“C brand has always had a good cooperation with Qin Yang and is the first luxury brand to enter Qin Yang Department Store,” Mufeng said.
Before luxury brands entered the market in China, Qin Yang Department Store was the first to propose introducing luxury brands. At that time, they had contacted many brands. As a high-ranking brand, C brand was the first to reach a partnership with Qin Yang.
And until now, the cooperation between the two sides was based on mutual respect.
Moreover, Jiang Xun was also the spokesperson of C brand.
Although A brand was very famous and was the only store of its brand in China, it sounded very prestigious and could enhance the reputation of Qin
Yang Department Store..
