Chapter 64: Chapter 64: He Has Made Up His Mind

Tian Xiang encountered someone with two suffixes on their persona for the first time.

You should know, two months ago, this person was just a mere background with nothing.

This speed of change...

It seems like I’m the engineer, constantly building on his forehead.

The trait of being obsessive in a persona isn’t a good one.

In summary, it includes being stubborn, sensitive and suspicious, jealous, self-centered, and some possess a strong sense of ownership.

This persona is far more complex than being reserved.

Tian Xiang coughed lightly, "Well, Mr. Meng, we’re considered friends now, right? During this time we’ve been getting to know each other, you should know what kind of person I am."

Meng Cheng’an glanced over, half-smiling, "Why don’t you describe yourself, what kind of person are you?"

Tian Xiang: "Frank, straightforward, righteous, kind, brave, unconcerned with trivial matters."

Meng Cheng’an couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

Tian Xiang: "?"

Why is this person laughing again?

"Do you think I’m boasting? Then how about you tell me what kind of person I am? I’ll give you a chance."

Meng Cheng’an shook his head, "You go on."

Tian Xiang: "For people like me, on the good side, I’m candid, beautiful at heart; on the bad side, I’m single-minded, hard to consider others’ emotions."

Meng Cheng’an’s gaze darkened a bit.

Tian Xiang continued, "So, if we’re friends, you need to be generous. If there’s anything I do that makes you unhappy, you must speak out, because it’s unintentional. My heart is in the right place, heaven and earth can testify."

Sincerity is the most beautiful virtue of humanity.

No matter how vigilant, suspicious, or stubborn you are, I’m treating you with sincerity and don’t fear you might misunderstand.

Meng Cheng’an turned to look at her, a fleeting hint of possession in his eyes.

He said, "Got it, you’re great."

Great enough that even knowing you don’t meet the criteria, I don’t want to give up, I’m set on you.

Tian Xiang saw that he listened and was momentarily relieved, "Let’s head to the cafeteria later and discuss tonight’s lecture."

Meng Cheng’an: "Okay."

This legal knowledge lecture, the venue was provided by the neighborhood committee.

It starts at seven in the evening and lasts for about an hour.

During lunch, Tian Xiang discussed the general plan with Meng Cheng’an.

Last night she already informed her family about it, so she doesn’t need to go home after work. She can head straight to the setup after eating at the cafeteria.

Tian Xiang: "You haven’t informed your family about working late tonight, right? You should go home after work, have dinner, and then come over."

Meng Cheng’an nodded.

For tonight’s legal lecture, the second neighborhood committee helped Tian Xiang secure the venue at the workers’ daycare, which will be held in the little playground.

For this event, Tian Xiang had Meng Cheng’an write some big slogans to hang up in advance and also had the neighborhood committee aunties stand on the roadside with signs to draw people in.

Even so, only about thirty people were coaxed into coming, a few were half-grown kids killing time after their homework.

This number of people is unacceptable!

When Li Huai came to inspect, he frowned deeply.

Tian Xiang couldn’t believe it; people on Red Fifth Street are so lacking in enthusiasm for activities. What a great lecture this is, yet no one came to listen.

Back when she was at Sanli Lane, she was famous for being a street activist, always showing up for activities and rallying other courtyard members.

In Sanli Lane, any event would have at least seventy or eighty people in attendance.

Although that side was poor, and the living conditions were not as good as here, their solidarity was far stronger than here.

As things wrapped up, seeing her worried expression, Meng Cheng’an plainly said, "The streets and neighborhood committees often hold such activities. Unless they are closely related to them, generally, no one comes to listen."

There are too many such activities, dull and time-consuming.

Tian Xiang: "I’ve learned that. However, this time it’s tricky because Director Li mentioned that this lecture counts towards the final assessment."

Meng Cheng’an was taken aback, "You didn’t mention it earlier."

Tian Xiang: "Didn’t I?"

"No."

Tian Xiang: "I might have overlooked it and forgot for a moment."

Of course, mainly because you were like an ice block in the morning, and my attention was entirely on the label on your forehead, forgot all about this.

Meng Cheng’an: "How about we buy some sunflower seeds tomorrow."

Having often collaborated with the community and neighborhood committee for promotional activities, Meng Cheng’an was experienced in this. Relying on vocal efforts alone draws no one in, but even the mere offering of sunflower seeds piques some interest.

Tian Xiang watched a few teenage boys jovially rush out the big iron gate, shaking her head, "Why buy sunflower seeds? It’s our own money."

This time, they were supposed to get overtime pay, but it would end up being for nothing with this approach.

Meng Cheng’an: "I’ll buy them."

A joint promotional activity between two departments not only supports her.

Tian Xiang squinted at him, "Why buy them? Isn’t your money valuable? Don’t worry, I have an idea."

Meng Cheng’an raised an eyebrow, "Let’s hear it."

Tian Xiang smiled smugly, "It’s a secret."

Meng Cheng’an: "..."

The next day at work, Tian Xiang ran into Chen Yong at the bike shed.

He was frowning deeply, looking heavy-hearted, seemingly not doing well with last night’s work either.

Tian Xiang asked him how many people he got to attend?

"Over forty."

Hmm, better than me.

Chen Yong: "I heard over a hundred people attended the first neighborhood committee’s session yesterday."

The first neighborhood committee was run by Tao Huilan.

What’s happened? Why is she suddenly so motivated?

Chen Yong: "They were giving out a free piece of yarn to all attendees."

No wonder.

Yarn requires coupons, more appealing than giving out sunflower seeds.

The two returned to the office, and Tao Huilan was already there.

With such results yesterday, she would have been flaunting like a peacock before. But since Vice Factory Director Zeng’s incident, she’s become more low-key, quietly doing big things.

Not long after, Director Li came in, praised Tao Huilan a few times for last night’s work.

Tao Huilan was, after all, just a nineteen-year-old girl. She couldn’t help glancing at Tian Xiang, raising her eyebrows.

Without Vice Factory Director Zeng’s backing, so what? She’ll catch up.

Li Huai could never stand Tao Huilan’s arrogant and conceited demeanor. He specifically told Tian Xiang, "Step it up."

Tian Xiang: "Director Li, I’ll do my best."

"Mm."

After Li Huai left, Tian Xiang set aside her other work and first returned to Sanli Lane, then went to the second neighborhood committee to find Director Yang, asking for a larger venue.

Yang Qunying: "Xiangxiang, isn’t the daycare adequate?"

Not many people showed up.

Tian Xiang: "No, it’s not enough. I’m expecting over two hundred people today."

Two hundred people!

Yang Qunying, having worked at the neighborhood committee for many years, thought it was impressive to get over a hundred people for an event, except for the end-of-year street play.

Young officers being enthusiastic about their work, Yang Qunying couldn’t say much and suggested, "How about using the basketball court in the residential compound?"

Tian Xiang: "Sounds good."

"Xiangxiang, do we need to change the announcement?"

The lecture announcement yesterday had the daycare’s address on it.

Tian Xiang: "No need, we can just post a notice at the daycare about the change of venue."

The residential compound houses over a hundred families, with thousands of residents, more than enough.
