Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 161 Commendation Conference

One o'clock in the afternoon, No. 1 canteen of No. 3 Steel Plant.

The factory's middle-level managers and above, senior workers, and all members of the R&D team gathered together, totaling more than a hundred people.

Since the conference room in the factory was not big enough, after lunch, Tao Yuan led others to simply decorate the large cafeteria as a venue for the commendation meeting.

Below, there are neat rows of stools for regular managers and workers to sit.

Above, there is a table in front of the stool, which is the rostrum.

Zhou Xinjian, Yang Weimin, Tao Yuan, Wen Wan, Li Guangfu, including Qi Fei who made the mistake, all sat on the rostrum.

Jiang Chen and Lei Jie, as the protagonists of the commendation meeting, naturally sat on the podium.

In this conference, recognition is only one aspect.

More, I still hope that through the power of example, comrades in the factory can truly unite and work together to roll up their sleeves and work hard.

However, in Jiang Chen's view, the factory still lacks experience in holding meetings in this area.

Let him organize it, and the effect will definitely be better.

Not to mention too much, at least the families of important people who live in Sijiu City should be invited.

Letting parents witness their son's glory is at least much better than this dry talk.

Then you can communicate with your parents in advance and ask them to go on stage to give a speech. When the emotions are in place, the radio station can turn down the volume and play some inflammatory music to make people cry.

This effect will come out!

Then the management and workers who participated in the meeting boasted: "Everyone is raised by their parents. What Lei Jie's mother said made me very emotional!"

The spread will also increase.

Cao Jun, who arrived in the afternoon, secretly gave an OK gesture to Jiang Chen, indicating that the matter of helping Bai Jing's family had been settled.

There was no host or cross-talk at the commendation meeting.

Generally, whoever has a higher position presides over it.

Or the highest-ranking leader may designate a person to preside over it.

But generally this designated person will be the one the leader wants to train and promote.

So today’s host is Zhou Xinjian: “Comrades, we have been gathered together today to hold a special commendation meeting for the research and development of Sangang machine tools and the upgrade of Sangang plant.”

"The research and development of Sangang machine tools is a key project in the five-year plan of the Ministry of Industry. Under the leadership of Cheng Cheng, the R&D team of Sangang Plant has developed the world's leading Sangang machine tools. The results are outstanding and the response is strong."

"But during the New Year's Day holiday, due to the mistakes of some comrades, the manufacturing blueprints were stolen by the enemy, leaving a huge hidden danger for the future of this important weapon of the country."

"But flower growers are a country of heroes. At every critical moment, there are always heroes who step forward to help the building before it collapses."

"Now, let's listen to the announcer's heroic deeds. Listen carefully and study hard."

A moment later, Bai Jing's voice sounded on the radio and spread throughout the factory.

Because they had given advance notice, the workers stopped what they were doing, lit cigarettes, and waited early.

There is a loudspeaker installed in the canteen so that everyone attending the commendation meeting can listen carefully.

This is of course not instant communication, but communication in advance.

It's just that when Zhou Xinjian spoke, he spoke a little faster, resulting in more than ten seconds of silence at the key points.

"We are all ordinary people, writing our extraordinary lives in ordinary positions. No one is born great, but some people use their own hands and wisdom to create a different life."

"Jiang Chen, deputy director of the Engineering Department of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant and chief R&D engineer of the No. 3 Steel Rolling Plant Laboratory, performed the most gorgeous movement in the flower planting industry in his ordinary position."

"Yesterday, I conducted an exclusive interview with Jiang Chen, which was deeply inspiring. I also took this opportunity to share it with all comrades. I hope everyone can learn and be inspired from it."

"My first question to Director Jiang is..."

Then, comes the content of the interview.

A worker took a long drag on his cigarette, but a sentence echoed in his mind: "No matter what position you are in or what job you are doing, you are doing extraordinary things." Yes, I am just an ordinary person. , this position is also ordinary.

But what I do is extraordinary.

Because I am also contributing to the construction of a flower gardening family.

Since it is extraordinary, I will work more seriously in the future.

The same resonance resonates in the hearts and minds of countless workers.

In this relatively simple era, people are more likely to be moved and inspired by language similar to chicken soup.

Of course, there are also people who have an indifferent attitude and listen casually without taking it to their heart.

Some people even feel disgusted.

For example, Liang Yue and Jia Dongxu.

Liang Yue and Zhang Shan were the only comrades in the engineering department who did not attend the commendation meeting.

He was in the office at this time, muttering to himself bitterly: "My speaking skills are better than my singing skills. I am not very capable, but I am very capable of flattering my superiors."

"Most of the research and development of machine tools is due to Qin Kai, and you can get this huge credit just by relying on your mouth."

"But after all, I don't have any real ability. I want to see how long you can be awesome."

Jia Dongxu was also murmuring to himself: "This Jiang Chen must be very lucky!"

"My mother said that he was my nemesis. It must have been that he took away my luck, which caused me to have bad luck one after another, while he himself had everything going smoothly, getting promoted and getting rich."

"If things continue like this, what should I do in the future? Why don't I spend some money to see my husband before the Chinese New Year and see how I can change my life against the odds?"

He did not reflect on his mistakes, but blamed everything on luck, which is destined to be a tragedy.

Zhou Xinjian also lamented: It’s all official talk, so why do Jiang Chen’s words sound so much more pleasant to the ears than Tao Yuan’s?

At the commendation conference, no one dared to whisper, everyone was listening to the radio attentively.

Bai Jing's voice came clearly from the radio:

"I asked Director Jiang the next question."

"As a technician, you should have used your talents in the laboratory. But after you discovered the clues, why did you lead people to follow them without any hesitation?"

"You have to know that the enemy who dares to steal the blueprints from No.3 Steel Plant must be a very vicious person, and planning to follow them rashly over the weekend may put your life in danger. Aren't you afraid?"

"After asking this question, Director Jiang smiled softly, and his answer was even more touching."

"He said, be afraid, of course you are afraid. You only have one life, so who can not be afraid of death?"

"But everyone is destined to die. It may be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Life is indeed precious, but there are always many things that are more precious than life."

"In the face of national interests, personal life and death don't matter. The manufacturing drawings of Sangang machine tools are very important to flower growers. Even if I die, I can't let him be taken away by the enemy."

"So, I chose to follow the clues and chase the enemy. To be honest, I was very scared at the time, but I still pursued it with the determination to die. As long as I can get the blueprint back, I am willing to exchange it with my life."

Jiang Chen was a little confused at the time, when did I say this?

But after thinking about it for a moment, I can honestly tell that this must be Tao Yuan's handiwork.

It must have been the question that Jiang Chen deliberately didn't mention when Bai Jing examined it for him last night.

Because Zhang Cui came to Sijiu City, and there were many people working in the steel rolling mill in Siheyuan, it was inevitable that the news would reach his ears.

He doesn't want his mother to worry about him.

Therefore, we can avoid the dangerous link. Unexpectedly, Tao Yuan added it again, and by the way, he directly answered it.

However, Cao Jun didn't mention it when he came last night. I guess Bai Jing didn't have any reservations about him.

I hope that the food Cao Jun sent today will make Bai Jing completely accept Cao Jun.
