Scholars in the courtyard.

Chapter 2132 A successful ending
"Next, please invite Comrade Yang Xiaotao to come to the stage to announce and present the Advanced Collective Award."

As Li Jun's voice rang out on the stage, applause immediately broke out around him.

Yang Xiaotao nodded to the old man beside him and said, "Commander, I'll go first."

"Go ahead. I also want to see who will receive this important award."

Every time an award was presented, Yang Xiaotao would explain to the elderly why they won the award and the contributions they had made.

The old man listened with great interest, because these contributions represented fresh blood and the pace of progress of the revolution.

Yang Xiaotao tidied up his appearance and then stepped onto the stage.

Everyone's eyes were focused again, looking at the confident young man on the stage. Everyone had the illusion that the person going up looked more like the one receiving the award.

I'm jealous.

Lou Xiao'e, Liu Lixue and other female emcees stood aside and watched Yang Xiaotao walk step by step to the center of the stage. He was wearing a well-fitting Zhongshan suit and his angular face was even more attractive when viewed from the side.

"Xiao'e, I'm a little moved."

Liu Lixue leaned on Lou Xiao'e's shoulder and realized for the first time that being a "woman" was not bad.

"Bah, you are taken, don't think about it."

Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, but her eyes never left the figure on the stage.

"Why didn't I realize he was so handsome before? It must be the angle."

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Lixue walked onto the stage holding a banner and stood next to Yang Xiaotao.

Lou Xiao'e looked at him and snorted coldly, then walked up with a banner in her hand.

Standing on the stage, Yang Xiaotao took the list from Li Jun, held it in his hand, and then raised it in the air, "Comrades, do you want to know what's written on it?"

"miss you!"

Everyone cheered in unison, and several competing teams stretched their necks to find out what was going on.

Unfortunately, it was a bit far from the stage and people couldn’t see it clearly.

"If I do, I'll just say it straight."

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, fearing that they would miss it.

Cough
Yang Xiaotao cleared his throat and looked at the words above.

Then, there was calm.

When the people in the audience saw this scene, they suddenly became nervous.

Some people are even wondering, what does it mean that Mr. Yang is not speaking?
Was it a mistake?
Or is it that the results of the selection do not satisfy him?
For a moment, everyone was thinking, but they all wanted to hear the result.

"uh-huh!"

“First of all, I would like to thank the comrades in the machinery factory for their efforts this year, and thank all my colleagues for their support.”

Shhh.
Just when everyone thought that Yang Xiaotao would really announce the results directly, Yang Xiaotao gave an impromptu speech.

This is different from what we just agreed.

Everyone was disappointed and started to make a fuss.

"Don't make a fuss. This is the process. You have to go through it. Do you understand?"

"There are more shows waiting for you later."

When Yang Xiaotao heard the boos, he quickly spoke up, and everyone burst into laughter again.

However, the atmosphere on the scene became relaxed.

"Boss Yang, why don't you sing a song?"

Someone suddenly shouted from the audience, and Yang Xiaotao looked over quickly. Who else could it be but Zhou Peng?
But quite a few people joined in the fun, even the old man in the front row started laughing.

"No, that's not in the process."

Everyone was disappointed.

"Okay, I declare that the winner of this advanced collective is 'Red Star.'"

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Red Star Steel Plant and United Star Research Institute!"

good~
As soon as the voice fell, a group of people immediately jumped out of the field, stood up from their seats, and clapped each other in celebration.

At this time, the people around were not surprised to hear this result.

Guan Zhiyong from the steel plant was even more proud. Zhou Shenghong beside him kept praising him, but he felt very jealous in his heart.

The same is true for Sun Guo from the first branch factory.

They are all old people, but they were surpassed by the latecomer, the steel plant. They really can't afford to lose face.

Followed by Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng on stage.

"Mr. Yang, thank you."

Guan Zhiyong held Yang Xiaotao's hand and shook it vigorously.

"This is all due to the hard work of our comrades. Perform well and keep up the good work."

"Yes, I promise not to embarrass you."

After Guan Zhiyong finished speaking, An Zhongsheng also accepted the honor on behalf of the United Star Research Institute.

"Good job."

"Yes, do a good job."

After receiving the banners from Yang Xiaotao, they each took one and couldn't stop smiling.

As the award ceremony ended, Yang Xiaotao stepped down and the stage was handed over to the program team again.

Soon, the performance from the machinery factory headquarters began, and the show was now coming to an end.

As for the final grand prize, 'Outstanding Group of the Year' will be announced soon.

Below the stage, Yang Xiaotao returned to his seat and sat down next to the old man.

The two watched the show on the stage and talked in low voices from time to time.

Next to them were Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan. Most of their attention was on the elderly, so much so that they just watched many programs briefly.

Yang Xiaotao's conversation with the old man became their most concerned issue.

But today the old man was obviously worried. He spoke briefly and even seemed a little absent-minded.

“Have you started designing your aircraft?”

The old man asked, and Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Not yet, the personnel are not in place yet, and they are still in the process of getting used to each other."

"Any ideas?"

"The idea is to design a high-speed, high-altitude aircraft first, and then we can think about it later."

The old man nodded and said, "Don't be impatient. When it comes to airplanes, haste makes waste."

"I understand, but everyone is very enthusiastic."

Just as the show was continuing on the stage, Wang Hao walked out from the side and greeted Liang Zuoxin.

When Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Hao, he subconsciously looked at his watch, thinking that there should be a result.

Sure enough, after Wang Hao said a few words, he saw Liang Zuoxin get up and walk out.

The old man also saw it and subconsciously clenched his fist. Yang Xiaotao's eyes flashed, and then he stretched out his hand and put it on the back of the old man's hand, "Don't worry, I have arranged everything. The one responsible for escorting this time is our Red Star Special Forces, which is the best team, so there will be no problem."

"Commander Wang has also made preparations. As long as we get on the train, there will be no problems along the way."

The old man just nodded but didn't look away.

Both of them looked in the direction Liang Zuoxin left, and then waited for the other to appear again.

Not long after, Liang Zuoxin came back and went straight to Yang Xiaotao.

"I'm already in the car and setting off. Everything is normal, no problem!"

After Liang Zuoxin finished speaking, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Yang Xiaotao looked at Liang Zuoxin, the other party was obviously a little unnatural, probably because he was hiding something.

But at this time, it is not appropriate to say more.

"Now, please invite our beloved leader to come to the stage to present the Red Star Machinery Factory's 1966 Best Outstanding Group Award. Everyone, give him a warm welcome."

As Li Jun's voice fell, the people around him immediately burst into applause.

After hearing this, the old man slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone.

Maybe it was because he got rid of a worry, or maybe he had more energy in his body, the old man now looked energetic with a sincere smile on his face.

He turned around and waved to everyone, then put one hand on his chest and walked onto the stage with firm steps.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao stood up and applauded warmly.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning stood up around them, and more people stood up. The applause was like an ocean, one wave higher than the other.

"Commander, please say a few words to everyone."

On the stage, Li Jun excitedly shook hands with the old man. He decided not to wash his hands for the next three days, no, five days.

The old man smiled and nodded. After taking the list of winners, he didn't look at it but glanced at the people around him.

"Good morning, comrades."

Bang bang bang bang
The applause that had just stopped rang out again.

"I am very happy to be able to come to the machinery factory to witness this performance. Seeing the contributions made by comrades on various fronts, I am happy for the country."

"It is because of your hard work that we are able to keep moving forward."

“I hope that in the future, more comrades will join this movement.”

“I hope that more comrades will be honored in the future.”

Bang bang bang bang
"Oh my god, the leader is here to speak. Lao Wang, are you happy and excited?"

"Old Zhu, please go away and don't disturb me while I listen to the chief speak."

"Wang Kun, I've decided that next year we must take first place and stand with the leader."

"Okay, next year. Next year."

"My goodness, Director, has the head of our Shengjing Aircraft Factory been there?"

"How would I know? If I knew, why would I need you to tell me?"

"Uh, Director, should we consider it? A non-staff position would be fine."

"Now I declare that the winner of the 1966 Red Star Machinery Plant Outstanding Team is."

At this moment, you could hear a pin drop in the venue.

"Red Star Machinery Factory, Research and Development Department."

"Congratulations."

Papapa

After the old man finished speaking, he was the first to applaud.

He knows the R&D department of Red Star Machinery Factory.

The then R&D department had accomplished a lot since the steel mill days.

In recent years, many contributions have been made.

Especially the aircraft engine that was completed last year.

It is said that this engine is better than what the alliance is currently using.

If the final result had not come out yet, he would have had to go to the Great Hall if he wanted to meet.

However, this award to them is well deserved.

Deserved.

This is also the voice of most people present.

"Haha, I told you, we will definitely be the finale."

Liu Daming hugged his eldest disciple Shen Rong with a smile on his face.

Chen Chonghan on the side kept muttering, "Electric rice cooker or pressure cooker? My wife at home must be so happy right now. No, we have to have another child next year."

Hou Baowei, who was listening to Chen Chonghan's words, also wanted to cure his juvenile madness, but unfortunately his body couldn't support it.

"Go, go, go, hurry up and get on stage."

Zhou Hong couldn't wait to move forward, and Liu Daming hurriedly followed behind him.

Yang Xiaotao in the front row was hesitating whether to go up, after all, he was the head of the R&D department.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuanshan and Liu Huaimin beside him looked at him with ill intentions, forcing him to stand there.

Seeing this, Yang Youning laughed, "You went up there, and we couldn't get any of it. What a loss."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes and said, "You guys are awesome."

As they were talking, about twenty or thirty people rushed onto the stage, even the logistics team members ran up.

If not Lou Xiao'e, who else is at the front?

This guy is also lucky.

Everyone on the stage shook hands with the old man one by one and introduced themselves from time to time. The scene was very lively.

When the old man handed the banner to Zhang Guanyu, the whole hall burst into enthusiastic cheers.

At this time, Liu Lixue quickly came to the front of the stage, and an unforgettable song "Tonight" instantly sounded.

The first Spring Festival performance of the Red Star Machinery Factory slowly came to an end with Liu Lixue's singing.

Everyone who received an award was naturally very happy. Those who participated in the program also received a New Year gift. Even those who did not receive an award secretly vowed in their hearts that they would also be a part of the show next year.

What's more, being able to participate in this performance is itself a kind of identity recognition.

Of course, the only regret is that Yang Xiaotao feels that he is the leader of several departments, but he has not received any award. Except for going on stage to present awards, he has nothing to do at other times.

Of course, there is also the regretful song at the end.

It just doesn't feel right when I sing it during the day.

After the performance, Yang Xiaotao invited the old man to have dinner at the machinery factory but was rejected.

Then Yang Xiaotao, Liu Huaimin and others saw the old man off. After watching him get on the car and leave, everyone hurried towards the cafeteria.

The lunch gathering today is also part of the performance.
