Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Book signing After that, it was Zhou Xinyu's turn. He spoke directly about 5S for an hour and a half. On the basis of the original 4S, this new addition, 'quality', is the core of 5S and the sublimation of the first four items. If the first four items are all phenomena, then this one is the essence.
This kind of purely theoretical training is very boring. Zhou Xinyu started with definitions and talked about the relationship between 5S, the reasons for and benefits of implementing 5S, and the implementation methods. Finally, he proposed that complex things be done simply, simple things be repeated, and repeated things be done innovatively. There is no best, only better. He also emphasised that any change that is not sustainable is not meaningful. 5S activities must be promoted for at least 6 to 8 months.
It's like studying on your own at school. The evening training session ended at nine o'clock. Feng Yiping walked Hu Junting and the other four girls living with her back to the dormitory.
Today is the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the streets are unusually quiet and empty at this time. The girls in the car actually feel quite homesick at this time, but they don't want to show it in front of Feng Yiping, so they talk about the content of the evening training.
'Have you been in touch with the others?' Feng Yiping asked Hu Junting.
'Not really. Most of them have gone to the coastal areas, and I don't know if they'll be home for the New Year.' Hu Junting looked at the brightly lit, but sparsely populated road, feeling a little disheartened.
It had only been a little over three years since graduating from junior high school. They had originally sat in the same classroom, with classmates in the front and back rows. Now their individual paths had diverged.
Most of them, like her, had no choice but to find a job. Only a few were still pursuing further studies at university. As for Feng Yiping, she had thought he was quite good when she wrote him a love letter at school, but she had never imagined that he was so extraordinary. Hu Junting suddenly admired Huang Jingping very much, for her insight, her persistence and her decisiveness.
If I had persevered, what would have happened? She couldn't help but daydream, but then she immediately dismissed the idea. She understood that Feng Yiping had been no different to any of the other students when he first met her. Fate is something that is perhaps predetermined by heaven!
'By the way, with all the busyness of high school, do you still write novels?'
'One novel has already been published, and I'll give you a copy after the New Year.'
'We want one too,' the other four girls said.
'No problem, I'll give you all a copy!' Feng Yiping hoped that they would all like his novel. The boss's personal charm was very beneficial to improving team cohesion.
When they reached the floor below where they lived, Hu Junting invited him, 'Do you want to go up and take a look?'
'I'd love to, but it's getting late, and you have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed early!' The company also has rules regarding the staff dormitories: the general manager must visit the company-rented dormitories at least twice a year, but when visiting the dormitories of the opposite sex, he must be accompanied by a member of the opposite sex from the company's human resources department.
Back at home, his parents were still awake. They were also leaving for Fengjiachong the next morning. 'Why is there so much going on these days? These days, no matter where you go, there are just too many people. Do you really have to go home until the 29th?'
When Feng Yiping told them about the book signing, they were very happy, but now they are a little worried.
'Don't worry, Mum, I'll be back in time. I promise I'll be back on the 29th, I won't miss the New Year.'
'Mum, what's there to worry about? He's a big boy now, and besides, he'll be flying to and from big cities, so he'll be comfortable!' This sister, whenever she gets the chance, will definitely give him a piece of her mind.
Feng Yiping's flight left at around 6am the next morning, and he arrived at the Guangzhou airport just before 9am. As soon as he got off the plane, the first thing he noticed was how warm it was!
The publisher's representatives were waiting at the exit with a sign. There was a middle-aged man in his forties and a young man in his twenties. The middle-aged man was very enthusiastic and said as soon as he got off the plane, 'Haha, I know you're a young guy, I didn't expect you to be so young, but I'm sorry, when we arrived, there were already readers waiting in line for the book signing, so why don't we just go straight to the venue and you can rest afterwards, okay?'
'No problem,' Feng Yiping had slept on the plane for almost two hours and was full of energy.
The venue for this book signing was very satisfactory to Feng Yiping. It was a very high-end place, the Guangzhou Book Centre, which had been hailed as 'China's No. 1 Book City' after its completion in 1994. Feng Yiping had visited it many times before, and he really didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to hold a book signing here.
At this time, the book shopping centre was very lively. The wealthier the place, the more importance it places on knowledge. As the official news said, they want to have a peaceful and cultural year. While browsing the New Year goods market and flower market, they also didn't forget to come here for a stroll. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The book signing was taking place in the lobby on the first floor. When Feng Yiping and the others arrived, the area in front of the stage was already packed with people, mostly young people, most of them young girls, all dressed up and looking lively. It was a lively scene, but the organisers had arranged it well and the area was in perfect order.
As the organisers introduced Feng Yiping, dressed in a blue stand-up collar Zhongshan suit, he made his appearance, smiling and waving to the crowd.
This was the first time readers had seen his true face, and they were surprised to find him so young. The young man looked quite smart, and there was a bit of a stir at the scene. Feng Yiping heard a few student-looking girls in front of him whispering, 'What a handsome boy!'
Although such praise is quite straightforward, he still quite liked it! He was quite happy too!
It was a good start, but for Feng Yiping, book signing was a first. He had little experience and didn't know how to say no. After all, this was considered his second hometown. He often wrote a sentence at the request of readers, and sometimes posed for a photo with them. After an hour, his hand was sore, but he had only signed less than 200 books.
The organiser reminded him, and he sped up, basically just signing autographs.
Towards the end, he ran into an acquaintance, Zhang, the deputy director of Dacheng Law Firm, who had brought his daughter along to show his support. Feng Yiping felt bad sitting there so arrogantly, so he told Zhang, 'There's no need for that. If you'd told me, I would have come to you, there's no need to queue here. I also said I'd contact you this afternoon!'
'Haha, after learning the news more than a month ago, everyone was very proud of you, so they definitely wanted to come to your book signing today, and I'm not the only one,' he pointed to the back not far away, and Feng Yiping saw that Lawyer Zhao, along with a few girls from the law firm, were also there, all holding his book in their hands.
Lawyer Zhao was accompanied by his new wife, 'Yiping, if you have any copyright-related business in the future, be sure to contact me.'
'That's for sure!'
The book signing lasted for more than two hours, and Feng Yiping signed a total of more than 400 books. Later, many people who were browsing the bookstore were also attracted over, and the result was quite good.
After enjoying a big meal hosted by the organisers and receiving a gift, Feng Yiping hurriedly followed them back to the airport. He had to rush to Shanghai in the afternoon, which was a pity, as the spring flower market in Yangcheng had not yet started, otherwise he really wanted to go and experience it and relive it.
