Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2008: The Chief's Approval

"Comrades! Hello!"

The old man's voice was not loud, and even under the cover of the gongs and drums, only a few people around him could hear it.

But no matter whether they were near or far away, when they saw the old man raise his hand, they all became energized and rushed forward recklessly.

The security personnel who were maintaining order had to shout loudly to stop the crowd.

After Iron Man and Chen Yonggui got off the car, the heat wave around them became even stronger.

Even Teacher Yuan and the other three who came along were chased by the people around them and enjoyed unprecedented attention.

Yang Xiaotao stood guard beside the old man, "Commander, let's go in first."

The old man nodded, but looking at the banner at the door, he paused for a moment and then smiled, "This slogan is very good."

"I hope you can practice it and live up to this slogan!"

"Commander, we must safeguard this honor and not bring shame to it!"

Yang Xiaotao answered solemnly.

The old man nodded, and then walked towards the machinery factory accompanied by the staff.

After the old man left, Tieren and Chen Yonggui followed immediately.

"Brothers, welcome to the machinery factory."

Chen Yonggui held Yang Xiaotao's hand and said, "Today there are so many unexpected things, so many unexpected things!"

He looked up at the banner above his head, then looked at the Iron Man, "Old Wang, do you feel the pressure?"

The Iron Man shouted proudly, "No, my comrades are just like my family members. What pressure do I have?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard the Iron Man's heroic laughter, he immediately felt the pressure on his shoulders relieved.

Maybe I was too nervous.

Maybe, I haven't seen it through yet.

"Brother Yang, thank you for your machinery factory!"

Chen Yonggui held Yang Xiaotao's hand tightly, his expression full of gratitude.

"Thank you for coming, too!"

Yang Xiaotao replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Yonggui and Tie Ren both laughed.

For a moment, the people around saw the three of them laughing together. That smile was so contagious that it made people's hearts tremble.

Liu Lixue held the camera in her hand and pressed the shutter button continuously at the three people.

At this moment, the image of the three of them chatting and laughing together is frozen in time forever.

"Teacher Yuan, Teacher Zhu, Teacher Wang, and Brother Xu, welcome!"

After seeing off Tie Ren and Chen Yonggui, Yang Xiaotao looked at the four people standing aside, and hurriedly took An Zhongsheng and Liu Xiangdong to greet them, followed by several people from the research institute.

These two people were also specially arranged by Yang Xiaotao. After all, they have the academic qualifications and can find a common language when talking, so there won’t be any dull moments.

"Teacher Xiao Yang, this scene is bigger than I imagined!"

Yang Xiaotao shook his head helplessly, "It is indeed quite big."

"If the hospitality is not good enough, please give me some more!"

Several people smiled and shook their heads, "It's too polite to say that."

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. An Zhongsheng from the Alloy Materials Research Institute of our Machinery Factory, and this is Mr. Liu Xiangdong from the Ordnance Research Institute..."

After Yang Xiaotao finished introducing the people, he led the four of them inside.

In the crowd, Jiang Ningning looked at the young man with a broken arm among the four people with curiosity.

"Li Lei, who is that young man?"

Li Lei was talking to Li Xiuming. When he heard Jiang Ningning's words, he immediately looked at the young man with the broken arm. He squinted his eyes for a while before saying, "It seems to be the hero who saved people a while ago!"

"I know. His name is Yu Bei. He is a soldier. He was originally a company commander. Later, he lost his right arm while saving someone."

"Their company was the first to enter the disaster area and rescued many people."

"It is said that he lost his arm while trying to save a child!"

"and after?"

Jiang Ningning looked at the young man walking straight on the road, and suddenly her heart started pounding.

Now that all the main characters have arrived, the entire machinery factory has gotten down to business.

Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia, along with Liu Huaimin, lined up to greet them, followed by a long line of factory directors and secretaries.

The thunderous applause never stopped from the moment it started!
"Commander, welcome!"

"Comrades, welcome..."

Mr. Huang stepped forward to greet everyone warmly and introduced the people around him.

The old man shook hands with everyone from front to back.

After everyone met, there was another lively atmosphere.

"Commander, this is our plan, please take a look!"

While everyone was meeting and talking, Mr. Huang handed the written plan to the old man.

"Don't give it to me. I just came here to take a look today."

The old man pushed the plan out, then looked at Mr. Huang and the others, "You two can ask someone to accompany me to the workshop, and leave the rest to the young people."

Mr. Huang was startled, then he understood, so he smiled and said, "You don't need to ask anyone else for this matter, Old Xia, you are familiar with it, so the job of the tour guide will be handed over to you."

Elder Xia laughed and said, "When I came here before, I was just a listener. This is my first time to be a tour guide."

The old man also smiled and said, "So, we have to learn to change our identities."

"We need to give up this stage and let more young people get opportunities."

Huang Lao nodded, "The chief is right, we think so too."

"This time I will accompany the chief for a walk."

As they were talking, Tang Mingyue came up to Yang Xiaotao.

"The chief said in the car that they will not be involved this time."

"Everything is up to you."

Yang Xiaotao frowned, "What does this mean, Chief?"

"What else can it mean? It's just to let you guys set up the stage and perform."

"We do it ourselves? Will it be bad?"

Tang Mingyue looked at Yang Xiaotao suspiciously, "Isn't this what you planned?"

"What's planned?"

Yang Xiaotao's face changed.

"Really no plan?"

"Didn't you think about this last night?"

"Then wasn't the spiritual slogan of 'Three Learnings' prepared by you in advance?"

Tang Mingyue's series of questions left Yang Xiaotao stunned.

After waiting for a while, he finally responded and said, "What are you talking about, woman? What's the point of preparing or not preparing? What could I have thought about last night?"

If the woman in front of him wasn't a woman, he would have scolded her long ago.

But when I saw the other person's suspicious look, I knew that this guy was definitely wrong.

It doesn’t matter if she is wrong, but the leader must not be wrong.

That impression is very important.

Tang Mingyue was also panicked when Yang Xiaotao called her like that. She looked at Yang Xiaotao and found that he was still frowning and thinking, so she took a deep breath.

Just as Yang Xiaotao was about to explain, Tang Mingyue put away her smile and said, "Whether you have a plan or not, or whether you have other thoughts, the chief wants you to finish this play and do it well."

"and."

Tang Mingyue took a deep breath and then looked at Yang Xiaotao.

She knew that there were some things she couldn't say in this position, but facing this man, she couldn't let go.

"And what?"

Yang Xiaotao now felt extremely wronged, as it was clearly Liu Huaimin's doing.

Hearing Tang Mingyue lower her voice, she couldn't help but ask.

"I think the chief approves of your actions."

"The current situation requires a force to come out and stir up this stagnant water."

“So you are the force.”

"The better you do, the stronger you appear, and the more deterrent you will be."

"You understand."

After listening to this, Yang Xiaotao took a breath slowly and then looked at Tang Mingyue.

"In other words, the chief thinks this slogan and the spirit of the three studies can be promoted?"

Yang Xiaotao looked excited. If the leader gave his approval, today's work would be easy.

Being stared at by Yang Xiaotao, Tang Mingyue always felt hot and uncomfortable.

So he quickly said, "Yes. That's what I mean."

"Also, stop standing here and get to work."

Yang Xiaotao hummed, and was about to walk away, but then he took two steps back and came back to where he was, "Don't talk about anything in public in the future."

“It’s easy to attract other people’s attention.”

Yang Xiaotao looked around, gave some instructions and then walked away.

Tang Mingyue snorted coldly and thought to herself, "Bah! If it wasn't the chief's intention, who would be willing to tell you."

When I arrived in front of Liu Huaimin, I saw the old man and Mr. Huang walking to the side.

"Xiao Tao, the chief said he will not attend this meeting, so let us do it on our own."

"I'm going to skip the previous speech. What do you think we should do?"

Yang Xiaotao looked at the six people beside him, his gaze lingered on them for a moment, and he had an idea in his mind.

"If the chief doesn't want to participate, then forget it."

"Next, you will still host the meeting, but there will be an additional step."

“Which one?”

Liu Huaimin is now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. The absence of the leader means that there is no one responsible for giving the speech, and Mr. Huang and Mr. Xia are not going either. Isn't this pushing them to the forefront?

Everything has changed today, and I can no longer keep up with the pace.

"for a while"

Yang Xiaotao whispered a few words into Liu Huaimin's ear and then patted him on the shoulder.

"this is okay?"

"Don't you need to talk to the other party?"

Liu Huaimin felt that it was fortunate that he was not the one going on stage, otherwise, he would have wanted to cry.

Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

"Well, whether or not we can pass this time depends on this last shiver."

Liu Huaimin took a deep breath, then walked into the crowd, invited a few people, and then the group walked towards the stage.

Yang Xiaotao quickly came to Teacher Yuan and his four classmates with a smile on his face.

"Teacher Yuan, Teacher Wang and Teacher Zhu, this matter is a bit urgent. I have some adjustments to make here, and I need you to go up and say a few words."

As soon as Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the three of them immediately shook their heads to express their refusal, and their refusal was very firm.

"Teacher Yang, the four of us have decided to follow the leader on the tour. I'm sorry we can't do anything about this matter."

Zhu Ziqing said as if he had planned it long ago, and Teacher Yuan nodded, "Xiao Yang, this kind of occasion is really not suitable for us. You know my personality. When I do research and give reports, my legs tremble and I can't even speak clearly."

The same was true for Wang Guangmei, and Yu Bei nodded on the side. They were both the type of people who didn't talk much.

Letting them go up would put them in a difficult position.

However, these three people can be let go, whether they say it or not, but Yu Bei, a soldier, must go up.

So Yang Xiaotao pretended to be regretful and said, "Well, the three of you go and visit first. I need to trouble Teacher Zhu for something later."

"A very important thing."

When Zhu Ziqing saw Yang Xiaotao's emphasis, he realized that something serious might have happened this time.

Then he nodded, "Okay, I'll be here until you leave."

"Okay, thanks."

"Director An, Director Liu, take the three teachers to find Mr. Huang and the others. Make sure to take good care of them."

"Yes!"

The two men walked out. Although it was a pity that they could not listen to Iron Man's report, the task assigned by President Yang at this time was the most important.

"Yu Bei, wait a moment."

Yu Bei was about to go forward and follow, but was stopped by Yang Xiaotao.

"Teacher Yang, what can I do for you?"

"There is a very important task for you to complete."

When Yu Bei heard this, his body instinctively stood at attention, "Go ahead."

"Yu Bei, do you know what it means to wear this military uniform?"

"I know, it means defending our country!"

"Do you know why I called you?"

"I know, you want me to go on stage!"

"Correct!"

Yang Xiaotao said directly, "I need you to stand on it here today."

"Because you represent not only yourself, but also those who have worked hard."

Yang Xiaotao looked serious, and Yu Bei took deep breaths to stay calm.

"Yes, I do."

After Yu Bei finished speaking, although he stood straight and tall, his face was still a little flustered, "But, but I don't know what to say."

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and put his arm around the other person's shoulders, whispering, "I have an idea about this matter."

As the two walked to the outside of the venue, Yang Xiaotao patted the other's shoulder and said, "Well, remember it?"

Yu Bei nodded, but when he saw the dark crowd in front of him, he suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"Don't worry, just treat that stage as a battlefield."

"If it doesn't work, just shout a few words."

After saying that, Yang Xiaotao straightened his clothes and walked forward.

Yu Bei reached out and touched the row of badges hanging on his chest, and then shouted loudly in his heart, "Sharp Knife Platoon, kill, kill, kill!"

Take big strides forward.
