“How could I possibly go to the library to find books to read? You silly Zhu didn’t teach me, but the books taught me. Speaking of which, I also want to thank our country. If it weren’t for the country, how could I have learned so much?” Ma Hua said, putting on a very grateful look, and even stood up and bowed in the direction of the national flag.
Sha Zhu was furious when he heard this: "Ma Hua, what nonsense are you talking about? How is that possible!" Sha Zhu couldn't understand how there could be such a thing in a book. Wasn't this a family heirloom? Sha Zhu never imagined that what he was so proud of would become so common in later generations, and that anyone could find it by searching online.
Ma Hua smiled calmly: "Why not? You can find Sichuan cuisine recipes from experienced chefs, as well as recipes for famous Chinese dishes, and methods for stir-frying large pot dishes... all of these in the library."
Do you think everyone else is as petty and secretive as you, always hoarding their own possessions? Comrades, speaking of which, we should actually thank the country and those selfless veteran workers who generously contributed their knowledge and skills for the development of our motherland.
Let us learn for free. Moreover, the country provides many technical books that can be found for free in libraries so we can improve ourselves. Although I haven't seen them myself, I swear I will definitely learn the skills to serve my country.”
Ma Hua's impassioned speech drew continuous applause from the crowd. Even Sha Zhu, with a dark expression, clapped along, not daring not to. Ma Hua, seeing Sha Zhu's dark face, was secretly overjoyed. He thought, "Let's see if Sha Zhu can handle this huge compliment."
Ma Hua ignored Sha Zhu; he continued to whitewash himself, just as his mother had instructed. Only after the applause subsided did he continue, saying, "I know many people are discussing my article, but what I want to say is that our factory has many excellent workers..."
They go to great lengths to improve their apprentices' skills, and they deserve our respect. Ultimately, we're all working to build our country, and we should understand and respect each other to build more and better steel for our nation. But why should I respect a master like Sha Zhu? Don't you agree, comrades?
"Yes," "Yes," the echoes from below resounded through the air, nearly shattering the windows of the steel rolling mill.
Factory Director Yang's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water. He hadn't expected Ma Hua to have such eloquence. Wasn't he supposed to be just a junior high school graduate?
Meanwhile, Li Huaide was practically beaming with joy. He hadn't misjudged Ma Hua; excellent!
Ma Hua paused for a moment and then continued, "I, Ma Hua, hereby assure my comrades that as long as I teach my apprentices in the future, I will teach them wholeheartedly and without reservation, unlike Sha Zhu." Although Ma Hua spoke passionately on the surface, he was secretly laughing to himself. You can learn from me. These seasonings are only available to me. From now on, you can only buy them from me.
Feeling the situation was ripe, Li Huaide coughed twice and said, "Hello comrades, I'm Li Huaide from the Logistics Department. Ever since the dispute between Sha Zhu and Comrade Ma Hua, I've suggested to Director Yang that we should commend those selfless and dedicated workers, but unfortunately..."
But today, through Comrade MCA's words, I realized how admirable and respectable those masters are. On behalf of our steel rolling mill, I thank you! I also want to apologize to MCA and other apprentices who have been wronged.”
After Li Huaide finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Looking at the admiring and convinced gazes below, Li Huaide chuckled inwardly, his eyes softening as he looked at MCA. "Little Ma is something else," he thought, "truly a lucky star."
Only Director Yang remained on the stage, his face so somber as if water were about to drip from it. "Li Huaide, you're something else, daring to betray me like that."
Sha Zhu's face flushed crimson on stage, his already aged features contorted in shock. Yi Zhonghai, watching anxiously, whispered to Sha Zhu, "You really didn't teach him anything? Not even a tiny bit." Yi Zhonghai was now quite restless.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Sha Zhu stammering, he immediately understood. "Damn, he's really something!" he thought. "Luckily, Yi Zhonghai is used to pretending, otherwise he would have already burst out cursing on stage."
Meanwhile, Qin Huairu was extremely anxious. She didn't want the biggest fish in the pond to be harmed. Thinking of this, Qin Huairu quickly put on a pitiful look, blinking her charming peach blossom eyes back and forth, her eyes slightly red.
Her voice choked with emotion: "Ma Hua, no matter what, Zhu Zi is still your mentor! How could you send him to jail? How dare you stand here! Where is your basic integrity and morality? Even if he wasn't your mentor, he was still your colleague!"
After Qin Huairu finished speaking with a sob in her voice, she turned to look at the crowd below the stage: "Comrades, you don't know yet, do you? After Zhu Zi expelled Ma Hua from his sect, he actually plotted to frame Zhu Zi, causing Zhu Zi to end up in the police station. Ma Hua, are you even human?"
Upon hearing Qin Huairu's charming yet tearful appearance, the crowd immediately began whispering among themselves. After all, Qin Huairu's appearance evoked particular pity from the men in the audience. "You're beautiful, and what you're saying is true."
Only Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu speechlessly. These two teammates were hopeless. Actually, Yi Zhonghai had misunderstood Qin Huairu. It was Sha Zhu who told Qin Huairu that. After all, how could Sha Zhu tell his sister Qin that he had been beaten instead of being strong? That wouldn't do. Wouldn't that damage his position in his sister Qin's heart?
Ma Hua, standing to the side, instantly flew into a rage. "You, Qin Huairu! What a pair of adulterers! How dare you spout nonsense in front of so many people!" He immediately yelled at Qin Huairu, "Qin Huairu, you have the nerve to talk back to me? But I know you're no good. Everyone knows you're having an affair in the cafeteria. How dare you spout nonsense on stage in front of so many people? No wonder you're best friends with Sha Zhu!"
When Sha Zhu heard Ma Hua badmouthing his sister Qin, he immediately flew into a rage: "Ma Hua, you little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Sister Qin and I are innocent! Sister Qin is right, you're the only scoundrel!"
Ma Hua sneered, "Silly Zhu, do you dare to tell everyone in front of us how I framed you? How I got you into the police station?" Ma Hua coldly stared at the frozen Silly Zhu.
"I..." Sha Zhu stammered, unable to speak.
Qin Huairu got anxious and thought, "What a useless fool! Sha Zhu, hurry up and say something! There are so many leaders here, what are you afraid of? The leaders will definitely stand up for us!"
Ma Hua chuckled coldly. "Qin Huairu, do you think Sha Zhu would tell you about how he ambushed me with a stick at the alley entrance after work last night?"
Ignoring the stunned Qin Huairu, Ma Hua addressed the comrades below the stage and shouted, "Comrades, since Sha Zhu is unwilling to speak, then I will speak for you!"
