Chapter 140: Those selected were all proud.

On the other side, Qian Juan was also losing her energy while working. She said to Shi Feng beside her, "Who would have thought that the Ji family's good days are coming? The woman has become the deputy food team leader, and the man has become the militia company commander..."

Shi Feng laughed and said, "That's their skill. Who told us we weren't capable?"

Qian Juan snorted, "It's not that we're incompetent, it's just that we were harmed by the Ji family back then and now our class background is bad. We can't get anything good, and we can't even be selected as a non-staple food team member."

Shi Feng still had a smile on her face, but it was a fake one: "That's all in the past, why are you bringing it up again? If people hear it, they'll think our two families still hold a grudge."

The people around her were verbally reprimanding Qian Juan for saying such things, after all, it was her husband who beat the eldest son of the Ji family to death back then.

Qian Juan was embarrassed by what Shi Feng said, but in her heart she despised Shi Feng: What are you pretending for? Who doesn't know that you caused Old Lady Ji to be poisoned by eating wild vegetables last time? You can't stand the Ji family doing well.

As for Niu Zhenzhen and Chen Xiang, everyone said that the two of them would definitely be selected, after all, they had a good relationship with Wang Yuqing and had not offended him.

Niu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "That's hard to say, after all, only eight people were selected."

After saying that, she whispered to Chen Xiang beside her, "Do you think we'll be chosen?"

Chen Xiang whispered back, "We don't have any conflicts with Wang Yuqing, so we should be able to get selected, right? We can't possibly select someone she doesn't know well, can we?"

Niu Zhenzhen laughed and said, "That's right, it's a good thing I didn't blindly take sides back then."

Many people regretted not getting along well with Wang Yuqing back then. Of course, they never expected that Wang Yuqing, who had a bad reputation after arguing with this person and fighting with that person as soon as she arrived at the brigade, would become so successful today.

Someone said, "The Ji family's good days have come!"

Zhao Si listened from the side, his face showing great displeasure.

The office of the brigade's non-staple food team.

Wang Yuqing sat in her office chair, with several sheets of paper on her desk in front of her. There were about two hundred names on the papers, all of whom had signed up to become members of the non-staple food team.

She made another piece of paper and wrote on it: Tang Wan, Chen E, Lei Yongxia, Niu Zhenzhen, Chen Xiang, Huang Dacui.

The accountant, Tian Liang, standing to the side, glanced at them a few times, adjusted his glasses, smiled, and said, "Comrade Xiao Wang, if you just draft their names like that, I'm afraid after the results are announced, everyone will gossip behind your back that you're biased..."

He said somewhat embarrassedly, "After all... everyone in the brigade knows that you have a good relationship with those girls, and they'll definitely gossip about it."

After hearing this, Wang Yuqing shrugged indifferently: "Let them gossip. I am biased. This food processing team was my idea. I am the captain, so of course I have to use my small position to give favors to the people I like."

These words were so blunt that they greatly shocked Tian Liang.

Wang Yuqing added, "That's just how I am. I'm loyal to whoever is good to me, and I'm protective of my own. If I don't like hearing others gossiping about me, I'll slap them a few times!"

Tian Liang: "..."

Although I felt that this was not a good idea, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Wang Yuqing was right. After all, eighty percent of the official positions in this brigade headquarters were obtained through back channels.

I got this small accounting position because my parents gave me a lot of eggs.

Furthermore, the people Wang Yuqing chose are all quite good at interpersonal relationships, much better than those who oppose Wang Yuqing.

Wang Yuqing looked at the names on the list carefully and asked, "Accountant Tian, ​​does our brigade have six production teams?"

Tian Liang nodded: "Yes."

Wang Yuqing selected people from her own production team, which already filled six spots. There were still five production teams left, and each team should select one person, but there were only two spots left.

She stared at the list she had drafted for a long time. She couldn't possibly cross out Niu Zhenzhen, Chen Xiang, and Huang Dacui, could she? They had a pretty good relationship, and these three usually sided with her. This would be too hurtful.

She then asked Tian Liang, "Accountant Tian, ​​I don't know anyone outside of our Niushiwan production team. I haven't been in the brigade for long. Can you tell me about the families in other brigades who are in need, and who is kind-hearted?"

Tian Liang is a kind person, and when he heard Wang Yuqing say this, he was very enthusiastic and willing to tell her.

About half an hour later, Wang Yuqing added five more names to the draft list: Jiang Gaofen, Zhao Sufen, Cao Huan, Hua Yan, and Li Xiuer.

She leaned on the table and counted the 11 spots; there were three extra people.

Tian Liang, who was standing nearby, saw what she was thinking and said, "How about we remove three people from other production teams and keep two?"

Wang Yuqing shook her head: "But you also said that their families are in very poor condition, so they seem to need this job even more."

Tian Liang pointed to the names Niu Zhenzhen, Chen Xiang, and Huang Dacui: "These three seem to interact with you less often, and given that they are all quite well-off, how about we cross them out?"

The old Party Secretary suddenly walked in and said, "This matter should be decided by Comrade Xiao Wang himself, after all, there will be many minor lawsuits in the future."

Wang Yuqing understood what the old secretary meant; he just wanted to test whether she could handle this matter well.

She suddenly slammed her hand on the table, startling Tian Liang who was sitting next to her. She said, "I have an idea. Accountant Tian, ​​you should read these eleven names over the loudspeaker, read them loudly so that everyone in the brigade can hear them, and add a congratulatory message after them."

This way, everyone knows that these eleven people have been chosen, and they all feel proud.

Wang Yuqing had done her duty, giving everyone face by considering not only her relationship with them but also those who were not close to her and whose families were struggling financially.

She continued, "Then she said that she had personally selected these eleven people, and that they were all suitable in every way. However, since the food preparation team only needs eight members, she couldn't decide who to remove, which was difficult. Therefore, she asked everyone to come to the brigade headquarters after work each evening to make a bowl of snails, which she would then..."

She deliberately brought up the old Party Secretary: "The old Party Secretary, you, Accountant Tian, ​​the Director, the Militia Company Commander, the Poor Peasants' Association Director, the Cashier, and the Custodian were all selected fairly and justly."

This does not include Hua Gui, the women's director.

The old Party Secretary chuckled, "Why are you dragging me into this? Alright, alright, go turn on the radio."

Tian Liang also thought it was a good idea, and he nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the broadcasting room now."

Despite his mild and gentle nature, Tian Liang is very efficient. He quickly sent out the broadcast, and although he stumbled a few times, he still accurately conveyed everything Wang Yuqing wanted to say.

The entire militia company, the transport workers, the rice mill workers and tofu makers, and the commune members who were plowing, sowing, weeding, harvesting, digging, fertilizing, etc., all heard it.

Those who were chosen held their heads high, beaming with smiles, while the other commune members working alongside them cast envious glances, some even offering their congratulations.

Those who weren't chosen hung their heads, feeling resentful.

The names that are usually reported on the radio are mostly in a critical tone, but this time was different. The announcer shouted his name so loudly, he couldn't have been more proud.

It's like being called on stage by the teacher to receive an award when you're in school.

Therefore, Tang Wan, Chen E, Lei Yongxia, Niu Zhenzhen, Chen Xiang, and Huang Dacui all became famous overnight. There were more than a thousand people in the brigade, and many of them were strangers to them.

Meanwhile, Jiang Gaofen, Zhao Sufen, Cao Huan, Hua Yan, and Li Xiuer were working in the fields. When they heard their names on the radio, they were first shocked, then cheered happily.

After all, they weren't familiar with Wang Yuqing and were from other production teams. Although they eagerly signed up, none of them thought they would be selected.

Everyone's saying that Wang Yuqing has a bad temper, and since she's the one who decides on such a good job, how could she possibly choose someone from a production team other than Niushiwan? She'll definitely put people she's close to in, and it won't be their turn.

Zhao Sufeng wiped the sweat from her face, limped a few steps toward the broadcast, and said loudly with a laugh, "I knew it! That comrade is pretty good. Look, she chose me! I haven't even met her once."

The other four people were also overjoyed, and their families were happy too.

Although this is not the final list, we still need to go to the brigade headquarters for the competition tonight.

However, they were already very excited.
