Furthermore, when the Fire Seed Base was first established, Xue Tao took the initiative to lead his team to give up half of their food supply. Good heavens, two bowls of porridge a day were barely enough to keep them alive. Wouldn't they be starving with their stomachs sticking to their bellies if they ate just one bowl of porridge?
Is it still possible to continue high-intensity excavation work outside?
Are those people still around?
Some fund investors made these connections, and doubts and amazement swirled in their minds.
Xue Tao, on the other hand, walked steadily to the center of the stage, a calm and determined smile on her face.
Minister Ye Kexin had been waiting in the center of the stage for a long time, her face beaming with a smile and her eyes full of appreciation and encouragement.
The moment Xue Tao stepped onto the stage, the entire square seemed to freeze, and all eyes were focused on him.
Xue Tao first bowed deeply to Li Yi's statue to express his respect for the leader, then bowed to the leaders on the stage, before turning to face the people below the stage and responding to their expectations with a warm smile.
Minister Ye Kexin gently pinned the medal to his chest and handed him the certificate. Xue Tao took the certificate, gently opened it, and read the record of his outstanding contributions and unremitting efforts.
He looked up at the fund investors below the stage and said firmly, "Thank you to the base for this honor. This honor belongs not only to me personally, but also to our entire excavation team and to all of us fund investors who have persevered and worked tirelessly in the face of adversity."
"It's nothing for us fund investors to suffer a little hardship or fatigue, as long as the fund continues to develop in a positive direction, our efforts are part of that development, and our efforts are worthwhile. Today, I stand here not only to accept this honor, but also to take this opportunity to convey a message to everyone: no matter how harsh the environment, as long as we are united, there are no difficulties that we cannot overcome!"
"Clap clap clap~" The majority of fund investors sparsely applauded.
Clearly, many people had already sensed the blood and tears behind Xue Tao's acquisition of the "Torchbearer Model Investor" title, which made them feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Wasn't Xue Tao sacrificing for others to achieve her own success?
In fact, not only is Xue Tao's story of winning first place in the "Torchbearer Model Fund Investor" competition somewhat subversive, but the stories of the second and third place winners also seem to carry a sense of selfless dedication to others and personal achievement.
However, the preceding stories were more subtle and implicit, not as direct as Xue Tao's story.
The leaders on the stage didn't seem to care much about the reactions of the fund investors below, simply assuming that the investors were moved.
Moreover, they had been sitting outdoors for nearly an hour and a half. Although they were all wearing professional cold-weather clothing and had a brazier in front of them to warm themselves, they were still feeling unbearable after being in indoor heating for so long and wanted to leave long ago.
However, none of them dared to leave before the commendation ceremony ended.
Doesn't the Fire Seed Base have the resources to build a warm, enclosed space for these leaders on the stage, like the one on the palm of a giant statue, where Leader Li Yi gave his speech?
Of course!
The fact that hundreds of thousands of people at the Fire Seed Base are living poorly does not mean that the base is truly lacking in resources.
There are only a few of them as high-ranking leaders. How much material would it take to build a heated room that can keep them warm during gatherings?
The reason Li Yi had them stand outdoors like hundreds of thousands of other investors, feeling the biting cold, was simply to show his subordinates that the leadership was sharing weal and woe with ordinary investors.
Moreover, this was also a warning from Li Yi to them, to make them understand that in the Fire Seed Base, he, Li Yi, was the absolute leader, and that if they, the so-called high-level leaders, were left to freeze in the cold wind below, they would have to endure it!
Upon seeing Xue Tao, the winner of the "Torchbearer Model Citizen" award, complete the final procedure, the administrative head of the Torchbearer Base impatiently announced the end of the commendation ceremony. He then hurriedly left the scene with a group of other high-ranking leaders, each riding in a special sled and rushing back to their warm offices in the core area of the Torchbearer Base.
