Counterattack 1988

Chapter 8 Skill Competition
International Women's Day, Tuesday, March 3.

In order to celebrate the important contributions and great achievements made by women comrades in the fields of economy, politics and society, the Municipal Bureau of Light Industry took the lead in organizing Shencheng Textile Mill, Shencheng Spinning Mill, Cotton Spinning Factory No. [-], Cotton Spinning Factory No. Factories and other enterprises, as well as the Shencheng Song and Dance Troupe, organized a large-scale cultural performance.

More than half of Shenfang's employees are female comrades. They have half a day off, and male gays basically have nothing to do. Except for a few workshops that are still in operation, most of the workshops are closed.

The leaders of the Light Industry Bureau were ingenious and decided to hold a unique "skills competition" in the afternoon of the same day.

The skill competition is held every year. In the past few years, there have been competitions for weaving workers, spinning workers, roving workers and other types of work.

This year there will be competitions for trades such as weavers and mechanics.

In the morning, in Shenfang's mechanic's office, the workers gathered together, and it was very lively. Everyone was electing representatives to participate in this skills competition.

Zhao Weiguo patted the table: "Quiet! Be quiet!"

The noisy office gradually quieted down.

"Who is going to fight? Who is willing to represent our Shenfang Machinery Repair Class?" Zhao Weiguo said slowly, holding an enamel cup.

A worker asked: "Squad leader, are there any rewards for this year's competition?"

Zhao Weiguo said displeased: "Rewards? This is an ordinary skill competition. What rewards can there be? What rewards do you want? Even if there are rewards, will you be able to get rewards if you participate?"

"If there is no reward, I will not participate. If you win, you should. If you lose, you will be ashamed, and how much swearing will you have to listen to?"

"Hehe, it's not your turn to participate!" Zhao Weiguo sneered.

Wu Dazhuang raised his hand, and said: "Squad leader, don't choose, you are the only one who represents our machine repair class to participate in the competition! Who doesn't know that in our machine repair class, you are the one with the best skills?"

Zhao Weiguo waved his hand: "Hehe! I won't participate! Of course I will leave such a good event to you!"

His laugh always sounded like a conspiracy.

Zhao Weiguo rolled his eyes and fixed on Wang Lin: "Wang Lin, it's you!"

Wang Lin crossed his legs and was reading a newspaper, but he didn't even hear the class monitor's roll call.

Wu Dazhuang tugged at Wang Lin's sleeve: "Wang Lin! The monitor is calling you!"

Only then did Wang Lin close the newspaper slowly, and said lazily, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Weiguo couldn't understand his loose and disrespectful attitude, but he said with a smile: "The last time the loom broke down, you were the one who fixed it, and for this you were rewarded by Director Zhou! In this skill competition, the representative candidate is none other than you!"

Wang Lin said, "I'm not free."

Zhao Weiguo said: "Everyone has nothing to do this afternoon!"

Wang Lindao: "I heard that the comrades from the City Song and Dance Troupe are coming to show condolences, and I want to watch their show. There are so many beauties who are good at singing and dancing, and we can enjoy their colorful performances up close. What a rare opportunity! I should go to accept the influence of art!"

The mechanics roared with laughter!
Zhao Weiguo sneered and said: "Just you? You keep talking about art? Are you embarrassed? I don't even want to expose you! Are you going to appreciate art? You are a married man, you better see less beautiful women! Lest you think wildly and make style mistakes!"

"Hahaha!" A group of greasy mechanic men let out hearty laughter again.

Wang Lindao: "I was the last to enter the factory, and my skills are the worst. Why should I be sent to the competition? If I lose, wouldn't it be embarrassing for our factory?"

Zhao Weiguo said: "Don't be modest! Weren't you very arrogant that day? That's it! Do you have any different opinions?"

"No problem!" The mechanics looked honest, but in fact, they were all human beings, and they had already turned into oil residue. No one was willing to come out to carry this big banner. It was rare that Wang Lin could take the blame. Who would dare to sympathize? he?
Wang Lin was dumbfounded!

Xiaobi's appearance!

What they did was not just cheating?This is simply to catch the ducks on the shelves!
Zhao Weiguo said: "Wang Lin, look! Sending you to the competition is really expected! Everyone applauds! I look forward to Comrade Wang Lin's success in the city's textile industry skills competition, to win glory for our factory, for Our factory wins the honor!"

The audience burst into warm applause, and everyone looked at Wang Lin and smiled, but the meaning behind this smile was thought-provoking!

Wang Lin shouted: "I told you, I'm not free, I have to go to the performance of the song and dance troupe!"

Zhao Weiguo said: "The show will be at night! In the afternoon there will be a skill competition! Comrades from the City Song and Dance Troupe will also watch and have fun with the workers! Don't you worry now? There are beauties from the Song and Dance Troupe to cheer you on, you will definitely be able to Got number one!"

"Hahaha!" The mechanics laughed again.

Wang Lindao: "Okay, Squad Leader Zhao, I can see that you are deliberately targeting me?"

Zhao Weiguo smiled and said: "You can't say that. There are dozens of mechanics in our class. I only gave you this chance to fight. Don't you thank me?"

Wang Lindao: "Okay, I will participate in the competition! If I lose, I will lose the face of the mechanic repair class! If I win! Hehe, monitor, do you dare to bet me ten cards of Great Unity again?"

Zhao Weiguo became interested: "Okay, Wang Lin! I really dare not bet on anything else. If you can win this skill competition and get the first place in the city, I will reward you with [-] yuan All right!"

He has also learned to use the word "award".

Wang Lindao: "You don't need a prize, just bet! If I win, you will give me ten cards of Great Unity. If I lose, I will give you ten cards of Great Unity!"

"Since Comrade Wang Lin is so confident, of course I want to play with you!" Zhao Weiguo laughed and said, "Comrades, who among you wants to bet?"

These mechanics often play poker after get off work, and they are gamblers from the bottom of their hearts. Hearing Zhao Weiguo's mention, they immediately became excited.

"What betting method?" someone asked.

"It's very simple. I'll be in the dealership, and I'll pay three!" Zhao Weiguo said proudly, "Who lost the bet on Wang Lin? Bet less than five yuan, just bet!"

"I bet five dollars!"

"I bet two dollars!"

"I bet three dollars!"

"..."

Wang Lin saw that everyone was paying money one after another, and they all bet on himself to lose!

Only Wu Dazhuang sat still.

Wang Lin said with a smile: "Master, you bet on me to win! I promise to win and let you win money."

Wu Dazhuang blushed, patted Wang Lin on the shoulder, and said, "I'm sorry, apprentice! I hope you can win, but I bet you to lose! Come on!"

As he spoke, Wu Dazhuang took out two yuan and handed it to Zhao Weiguo.

Zhao Weiguo laughed and said: "Comrades are really enthusiastic! Wang Lin, everyone is buying you to lose, don't be discouraged, we are here to cheer you up! This is a good horse, the more you push it, the faster it runs !"

Wang Lin was speechless!
Zhao Weiguo asked again: "Who wants to buy Wang Lin to win? One pay, five!"

Wang Lin asked lightly: "Squad leader, can I buy myself to win?"

"Of course. How much do you buy?" Zhao Weiguo asked with a smile.

"If you buy too much, you can't afford it." Wang Lin said, "Well, I'll buy fifty yuan. If I lose five, if I win, you have to pay me 250 yuan!"

"Okay, what a 250! I like it!" Zhao Weiguo laughed presumptuously.

The mechanics echoed, letting out loud laughter that resounded through the clouds.
