"Old Qin, you guys are something else. I always thought you were just a roughneck who only knew how to handle guns and tinker with machines. I never imagined you guys would know about movies and culture now."
I told you long ago, as you get older, it's good to cultivate your artistic taste. Otherwise, in every meeting, all you do is talk about machines, and the other factory leaders will laugh at you for being a boorish old man.
The leader was amused by this joke directed at his subordinate. Both men were veterans of the war, having fought side-by-side and forged a deep bond of camaraderie.

"Haha, old leader, it has nothing to do with you to tell the truth. We just got lucky. Because we have been showing movies to people in the surrounding rural areas, and then we came up with some innovations, which is why we caught the attention of reporters."
Qin Zhijian answered happily.
"No matter what, anything that truly helps the people is a good thing. You should do this well, persevere, and treat it as our social responsibility. In the future, I will have other enterprises from other ministries come here to learn from you."
