Chapter 850 His Disharmony
Mulberry trees are cheap, easy to grow and grow fast.
To enter the village, you have to cross a mountain road.
Along the way, there are mulberry trees growing everywhere.
It is no wonder that a small state-owned supply base can be established in this backward mountain village.
The mountain climate is changeable and the light is always dim.
This trip is mainly to explore the route and see the situation.
When the camera couldn't capture the scene effectively, Lu Miao used his eyes and brain to remember it.
In order to avoid making mistakes or not being able to remember everything, I would occasionally call Yu Hong and Xi Lufeng to watch it together.
However, Yu Hong and Xi Lufeng didn't quite understand her intention. At first, they thought she was just looking at the scenery.
It wasn't until she came again later with her homemade lighting equipment that I understood what kind of images she wanted to capture.
Although it is a mountainous area, it is a small base for state-owned supplies after all.
After the people in the mountains looked at their IDs and heard the purpose of their visit, they were all very enthusiastic.
Lu Miao asked for their opinions and asked what photos they needed to take back for proofing. The villagers were very cooperative and took them to visit each room one by one.
When they were about to return, he enthusiastically invited them to stay overnight and have dinner.
Lu Miao was very impressed by the simple and warm atmosphere and explained with a smile:
"Let's skip the meal for now. We'll be back soon. Let's report back today and bring more professional equipment next time. We might be delayed for a while, so it's perfect for dinner then."
The fellow villagers smiled and said okay, and did not continue the stalemate.
For fear that it would be unsafe for them to walk on the mountain path when it gets dark, they also arranged for people to escort them out of the mountain.
On the way back in the car, everyone chatted idly.
Thinking of Lu Miao's ease in dealing with the villagers, Xi Lufeng felt the contrast was too great and couldn't help but mention it.
Lu Miao and Yu Hong sat in the back seat of the car.
Hearing Xi Lufeng's words, Lu Miao glanced at him through the rearview mirror between the driver and the co-pilot seat, and shrugged indifferently:
"Maybe it has something to do with my experience of working in the countryside? But that's not important. A normal and friendly conversation is something anyone can do under normal circumstances."
Xi Lufeng smiled and shook his head, sighing:
"That's true... But when this happens to Director Lu, it still feels a little bit out of place."
It's not just about negotiating with fellow villagers.
There are also bold and decisive ideas in using the camera and some work.
Rather than believing that it was a weak girl who was in charge, Xi Lufeng sometimes preferred to believe that the other party was a man.
Lu Miao didn't know about his inner prejudice against men and women, but he could sense something unpleasant in his words.
"Then what should I do to avoid being in conflict? Rely on others to complete tasks for me?"
In the rearview mirror, Lu Miao's eyes were sharp and his mouth was sharp:
"Judging people by appearance is wrong. Moreover, Comrade Xi, after today's visit, it seems that you still have a long way to go before becoming a regular employee."
No one doesn't like glory and respectability, but working at the grassroots level requires being close to the people.
What's more, they now need help from others?
Maybe it's because I've been exposed to foreign culture for a few years.
Xi Lufeng is very strict with himself and wants to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in all aspects.
But some details revealed that he considered himself to be high and mighty.
It is difficult to associate such a person with doing practical things.
Can he do a good job in building his own team at this stage?
Lu Miao was doubtful.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.
Yu Hong and the young comrade who was driving dared not breathe.
"I'm just a little surprised. After all, the director graduated from a prestigious university and usually acts decisively. It's hard to imagine he has such a gentle side. If my words have offended the director, I'll say less in the future."
Xi Lufeng smiled disapprovingly, his attitude as gentle as usual.
"I'm a person with low emotional intelligence and can't take a joke."
Lu Miao closed his eyes and leaned back in the back seat. He refused to be persuaded and seemed a bit unkind.
But she didn't care, and continued lazily:
"So don't talk to me about other things regarding work."
"yes."
Xi Lufeng curled his lips and responded modestly on the surface, but his eyes flickered slightly under his long eyebrows, hiding different thoughts.
It’s not that he has low emotional intelligence, but he does have a bad temper.
But it’s nothing.
After all, no rose is without its thorn.
The return journey took four hours, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the community.
Lu Miao took out a few rolls of film and gave them to Yu Hong, asking her to take them to the company's printing department early tomorrow morning to speed up the development.
The film was very fragile. Yu Hong carefully packed it into a box and asked:
"Senior, there are so many, do we have to wash them all out?"
"Yeah. Some of the shots might not turn out well, but that's okay. We can take them to the location later and let the recording staff use them for reference."
"good."
"By the way, there are no buses at this time, right? How are you going to get home?"
"My brother is here to pick me up. I saw him at the door when I went upstairs just now."
Yu Hong added with a smile:
"Don't worry, senior."
Lu Miao nodded thoughtfully.
There is definitely no need to worry about Xi Lufeng.
He is the deputy director and if he can't get a car at night, the company will arrange for him to be picked up.
This is not necessarily the case for a junior assistant like Yu Hong.
Lu Miao stayed in the office for a while longer.
Only after Yu Hong had almost finished packing did he go downstairs with her.
"Be careful on the road."
"Same here, Senior! See you tomorrow!"
"Um."
At the entrance of the Guoying Society, Lu Miao watched Yu Hong get on her brother's bicycle before walking towards the blue Lada on the side of the road.
As soon as she got in the car and closed the door, Fu Jingyou asked:
"Why are you so late today?"
"I went to the mountains and just came back from there..."
"Is this another difficult task?"
"It's not that difficult, but it's not so easy to come up with something new. How about you? How have you been busy these days?"
"Same old."
…
The couple went home talking a lot.
After Lu Miao finished washing up, he rummaged through the drawers and found both flashlights in the house.
She pushed the switch a few times, but the light didn't come on. She unscrewed the base and found that one of the extra-large batteries inside was broken.
"Will this still work?"
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Fu Jingyou took it, took a look at it, took out the battery, and wiped the black marks on the base clean:
"I'll come back tomorrow and try changing the battery."
"What size battery is this? I'll buy it myself tomorrow morning."
Lu Miao was in a hurry to use it and couldn't wait that long.
Fu Jingyou told her that it was a No. 1 battery, also called a D-type battery.
Lu Miao nodded and took notes carefully.
The next morning, I got up and went to the supply and marketing cooperative with two flashlights.
After making sure that both flashlights were working, she bought four pairs of batteries, totaling eight.
Two pairs are used in real time and two pairs are kept as spares.
For fear that the batteries would run out, she did not install the flashlight directly, but wrapped it up and put it in her handbag.
You know what, the batteries, which are the size of a small fist, are quite heavy to hold together.
