Chapter 451 The Year-End Gala Begins
"Hello, I'm Su Xiaoxiao, who are you?"
Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled. She had no impression that she knew this girl at all.
After she finished speaking, the round-faced girl stared at her with sparkling eyes: "Comrade Su, I'm Lin Miaomiao, a salesperson at the Third Department Store. Nice to meet you."
Lin Miaomiao smiled and extended her hand towards her: "Comrade Su, I have heard all about your deeds. You are so amazing. I didn't expect you to be so young. You are simply my idol."
Su Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed. She didn't expect to meet a little fan girl when she came to the gala.
Lin Miaomiao took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and stuffed them into her pocket. "Here, please. Can I be your friend?"
Su Xiaoxiao is very happy to make friends with a girl like Lin Miaomiao who looks cute and has a likable personality.
"Thank you for the candy."
Su Xiaoxiao took the candy, took out a handful of diced beef from her pocket and handed it to her: "This is for you."
Interacting with others is a mutual thing. She can't just take advantage of others and not give a penny.
Lin Miaomiao was immediately flattered: "Thank you, Comrade Su."
"You're welcome. See you later."
Su Xiaoxiao waved at her and turned back to the Binhe Second Department Store area.
As soon as he got back, Zhang Guoqing couldn't wait to come up to him and said, "Manager Su, what number did you draw? Could it be the last one?"
Just now, he saw Su Xiaoxiao's disappointed face after she drew the prize, and he had already begun to guess the worst outcome in his mind.
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head: "No."
“Is that positive number one?”
Zhang Guoqing continued to ask.
Su Xiaoxiao still shook her head.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Guoqing patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You're not the last one, nor the first one. I saw that you didn't look very good just now, so I thought it was these two."
"Yes, as long as it's not the last or the first."
Just as I said this, I heard Su Xiaoxiao say: "You seem to be happy too early, I drew the second to last one."
Everyone: “…”
Silence is Cambridge tonight.
"Second to last is pretty good too, it's much better than that unlucky last one, hahaha."
Zhang Guoqing laughed and tried to smooth things over. Just as he finished speaking, he saw several female comrades from the First Department Store passing by and they glared at him fiercely.
"What's wrong with being last? You're just looking down on others. As long as you have the ability, you can still win the championship."
The female comrade walking in front snorted coldly.
"Hey, how can you talk like that? What the hell do you care about me saying that I'm in the last level?"
Zhang Guoqing immediately retorted, and then Su Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve: "Comrade Zhang, is it possible that the one drawn by the First Department Store is the last one?"
Zhang Guoqing: “…”
At this time, the announcer came out and said in a loud voice: "Now, please enjoy the chorus "Singing the Motherland" performed by the Sixth Department Store of Binhe City."
The people from the Sixth Department Store walked onto the stage with their heads held high, full of momentum.
The chorus is a relatively standard program, with no highlights and no shortcomings, so after going around, Su Xiaoxiao found that more than half of the competing teams chose the chorus.
There are even many repeated songs.
After listening to "Singing the Motherland" three times, a group of leaders and audiences felt drowsy and no longer had any expectations for the subsequent performances.
At this moment, the Fifth Department Store came on stage.
The show they performed was a skit.
Everyone's eyes immediately lit up and they felt like crying.
Oh my god, it’s finally not the same old chorus anymore. They’ve been listening to it so many times that their ears are about to get calluses.
Several leaders sitting on the judges' panel cheered up. The skit was good, but the chorus just now sounded almost the same. It was really difficult for them to judge whether it was good or bad.
As long as the skit is performed well enough, they will give the first place to the Fifth Department Store.
Then, after watching the performance, several judges were dumbfounded. Isn't this just a chorus turned into a solo performance?
When performing skits, everything is sung. What’s the difference between this and a chorus?
Several judges wanted to bang their heads on the table and yell, isn't this just selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton?
With such a performance, you still want to be number one? No way.
When it was Su Xiaoxiao and the others' turn, the judges and the audience were already staring blankly.
This is not a show to enjoy, it's clearly asking for trouble.
Su Xiaoxiao led the team to walk in the front. They were wearing uniform clothes and strode onto the stage with their heads held high. They looked more imposing than the other competing teams.
Immediately, people in the audience started talking.
"Why does the Second Department Store have competition uniforms? Why don't we have any?"
"That's right. I don't see anything in the First Department Store, so why is the Second Department Store treated specially? This isn't fair."
"That's right. The leaders above are too partial. Even though the Second Department Store is booming recently, they can't be so partial to one over the other. It's too biased."
Director Song was sitting in the judges' seat, and his brows immediately furrowed when he heard this.
"What's with this costume from the Second Department Store? Why don't other department stores have it?"
The secretary immediately stepped forward to explain, "Director Song, the thing is, the Second Department Store secured sponsorship for these performance costumes themselves. Other department stores didn't get sponsorship, so naturally they didn't have any."
At this point, he couldn't help but mention, "The Second Department Store has also secured sponsorship from many factories for the competition prizes. The prizes are even more generous than what we offer."
"I didn't expect Yan Guohua to have this ability. Not bad, not bad. I'm going to praise him at the city's general supply company's year-end commendation meeting."
As soon as Director Song finished speaking, his secretary hurriedly explained, "Director Song, I heard that this sponsorship was the work of the newly appointed Manager Su alone."
"What? Su Xiaoxiao? It's her?"
Director Song was surprised but also felt it was natural. That girl had a lot of clever ideas. I heard that the year-end promotion meeting was also her idea.
It’s a pity that his kid is not very motivated and I don’t know if he can catch up with others.
Song Weidong, who was far away in the army in Beijing, sneezed uncontrollably. Who was sneezing at him behind his back?
"Squad leader, look at this! Your Second Department Store is actually in the newspaper."
The training had just ended and a group of people gathered together to rest. One of Song Weidong's soldiers stuffed a newspaper into his hand.
Song Weidong was not interested at first, but when he accidentally caught a glimpse of the smiling face in the newspaper, he snatched the newspaper away.
"I didn't expect this idea to come from a female comrade. She's quite pretty. Squad leader, you're from the same place. Do you know her?"
The voice of the person next to him brought Song Weidong back to his senses. His fingers unconsciously stroked the smiling face in the newspaper and he spoke word by word, "Of course I know her. I know her very well."
The man immediately perked up: "Squad Leader, does she have a boyfriend? Does she mind if he's a soldier?"
Song Weidong looked him up and down and said, "Not yet, but it will be soon."
