Zheng Ya donated more than 2,000 tons of grain seeds to the country free of charge. When Secretary Song arrived at the steel rolling mill to present Zheng Ya with a medal and a banner, the donation was exposed inside and outside the mill, causing a sensation among the workers and residents.
When Secretary Song repeatedly reiterated that the actual amount of grain seeds donated by Zheng Ya was as high as 2,800 tons, it sparked waves of amazement and support, one wave after another.
Within three minutes, the steel rolling mill gate was packed with people.
This prompted Secretary Hu and Factory Director Yang to exchange a glance and nod in agreement. They then sent someone to broadcast the announcement of the factory-wide commendation meeting through the steel rolling mill's publicity department.
A meeting to commend Zheng Ya for his selfless donation of more than 2,000 tons of grain seeds to the country was held ten minutes later at the factory venue.
Three consecutive announcements were broadcast inside and outside the factory area, all workshops stopped work, and workers rushed to the meeting venue.
Another group of people, including residents and passersby from outside the factory, rushed to the steel rolling mill venue to attend the commendation ceremony.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly enthusiastic, with waves of praise for Zheng Ya's donation of grain seeds filling both inside and outside the factory, creating a lively scene.
Zheng Ya was also invited to the stage by the factory leaders and Secretary Song to prepare for the commendation meeting.
Just before this rare commendation ceremony, Tora followed the workers into the venue with a dark face behind him, muttering something: "Damn Zheng Ya, how could he possibly be commended?"
He should be infamous…
"Liu Haizhong, what are you saying?" Yuan Wei, a level 5 forging master in the same workshop and a coworker standing next to Liu Haizhong, scolded him in a low voice with dissatisfaction.
The commendation meeting was unprecedented, with more than 8,000 people from the factory and two to three thousand people from outside the factory. The workers in the workshops discussed the issue and voiced their opposition to the commendation meeting. If others could hear them, it would be unacceptable.
If things go wrong, all the workers in the workshop could be implicated.
Even if you're going to be uncivilized and cause destruction, there's a time and place to consider!
Liu Haizhong knew that his well-intentioned words had angered everyone, so he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace as he apologized: "Ahem, I'm sorry, I misspoke, I won't say anything more..."
"Liu Haizhong, you better remember this!"
Regardless of any personal grudges you may have with Zheng Ya, he was an exemplary individual who donated thousands of tons of grain seeds to the country free of charge, a thousand times more refined than someone like you who is obsessed with officialdom.
You're so desperate to become an official, look at what Zheng Ya did.
Donating thousands of tons of grain seeds free of charge?
"You, a power-hungry official, can never catch up to Zheng Ya's selfless spirit and awareness. And you're even cursing Zheng Ya? Do you even deserve it?" Yuan Wei scolded, trying to distance himself from the situation.
This prompted a strong response from the surrounding workers, who unanimously condemned Liu Haizhong's petty intentions and accused him of being a complete menace, urging the factory leaders to take serious action against such a scoundrel.
The workshop director had already reported Liu Haizhong's resistance to Zheng Ya's donation of grain seeds to the factory leaders.
Director Yang and Secretary Hu, along with other leaders, immediately blacklisted Liu Haizhong and arranged for Hu Bing, the head of the security department, to lead a team to arrest Liu Haizhong for a surprise interrogation.
The factory leaders aren't stupid; there's definitely something fishy about Liu Hai choosing to slander Zheng Ya at this time.
Furthermore, any bad trends that defy the prevailing winds must be strictly curbed.
The factory will not tolerate any unhealthy practices.
As a result, Liu Haizhong was arrested by Hu Bing and his men.
This allowed the workers in Liu Haizhong's workshop to breathe a sigh of relief; they were free and no longer implicated by Liu Haizhong.
Seeing Liu Haizhong suffer, Li Chunhua, who was standing on the edge of the platform, instantly lost her resentment. She lowered her head and cursed Jia Zhangshi in her heart for causing such harm.
The commendation meeting was successfully held.
Director Yang took the lead and walked to the microphone at the front of the stage. He cleared his throat and said, "Comrades inside and outside the factory, please be quiet. We are now holding an awards ceremony."
Before the meeting, I, the director of the steel rolling mill, made a self-criticism.
As the factory owner, I lead all the workers to ensure safe production and contribute to the country and the people.
However, just now, while all of our factory workers were contributing to the country's development, a serious incident occurred at the factory gate where female workers surrounded Comrade Zheng Ya, affecting the factory's safe production.
As the factory manager, I failed to discover this in time. I hereby apologize to all the workers in the factory and will also submit a written apology to my superiors, requesting punishment from them!
We hope all factory workers will take this as a warning.
Next, Secretary Hu will preside over the commendation ceremony. Please welcome him!
The attendees responded with enthusiastic applause.
People generally approve of leaders who hold meetings to conduct self-examinations and make self-criticisms; they are not afraid of making mistakes, but they are afraid of not admitting them.
Those who can admit their mistakes are good comrades.
Leaders who can admit their mistakes are extremely rare.
Director Yang inadvertently won over a group of people and established a good image for the factory leadership.
The vicious incident that broke out at the factory gate was made public.
They are also downplaying this heinous incident.
This prompted Secretary Hu to step to the front of the stage, reducing the pressure on him and harmonizing the atmosphere at the commendation meeting. He smiled and said, "Comrades, I, as the secretary, also have a part in Director Yang's self-criticism."
Hereby, I request that people both inside and outside the factory supervise the work of our factory leaders, and I welcome criticism, corrections, and reports.
Our factory leaders will take this seriously and eliminate any unhealthy practices inside or outside the factory.
Alright, now I will preside over the commendation ceremony to commend Comrade Zheng Ya for his selfless donation of more than two thousand tons of grain seeds to the country..."
The so-called commendation meeting was to publicize Zheng Ya's donation of grain seeds to the country free of charge, to call on everyone to learn from Zheng Ya's selfless spirit, and to encourage everyone to serve the country and the people.
Zheng Ya felt somewhat uncomfortable with this, and even a little nervous.
Having never spoken in front of thousands of people in my three lifetimes, I felt somewhat apprehensive facing the sea of people in the venue.
However, as Secretary Hu publicized Zheng Ya's donation of grain seeds to the country, a large wave of Zhengde value income arrived.
In just over ten minutes, Zhengde's value surged by more than 13.57 million and is still rising.
This thrilled Zheng Ya, dispelling his stage fright. After Secretary Hu finished speaking, he was invited to speak at the front of the room.
Zheng Ya smiled broadly and said, "Comrades, hello everyone. It's an honor to meet you all on this occasion."
To be honest, I was very surprised to be able to stand on this stage and give an award speech, and I am also grateful for the trust placed in me by the higher-level leaders and factory leaders.
I am especially grateful to my parents for raising me, and also to the country for nurturing me, which has made it possible for me to give this speech today, where I am being recognized for my voluntary donation of grain seeds.
I'm not good at writing long essays, but I only have one thing in my heart: I donated grain seeds to repay the country and did what I should do!
That concludes my remarks. Thank you everyone!
"Clap clap clap!" Tens of thousands of people applauded enthusiastically, showing great interest in this special person. Many young women clamored to marry him, creating a lively atmosphere in the venue.
It must be said that the young woman's way of expressing her love was very bold, unrestrained, and passionate.
Zheng Ya could only pretend not to hear, but fortunately, Director Yang covered for her: "Quiet down, the factory can consider holding the matchmaking event next time."
"You women mustn't disrupt the commendation ceremony!"
"Haha, the commendation ceremony continues, count me in for blind dates..." The workers were all ignited by Director Yang's humor.
