Chapter 373 Stage
The auditorium was noisy. Chen Qing was afraid of a stampede, so he stood on a stool and let people in one group after another like a traffic controller.
Xiaoyu hid in the backstage and watched her aunt. She said to Maomao, "Look, my aunt is so funny."
Maomao also poked his head out and saw his aunt awkwardly cooperating with the security personnel to release the person, and he also burst out laughing.
Chen Qing shouted until he was hoarse before he managed to stabilize the situation.
This was really beyond her expectations. The people were so enthusiastic that she, as the person in charge, could not resist.
The leaders of the machinery factory just stood there and watched the joke, especially Director Shen, who was laughing.
Chen Qing saw that the corridor was crowded with people who had rushed over after hearing the news. They could only lie on the windowsill like a pile of monks. There was nothing he could do. He instructed the security staff to pay attention to their safety, then he packed up and went backstage to prepare to take the other four hosts to the stage to give their speeches.
The four newcomers were nervous, but when they saw Chen Qing leading them out, they felt a little relieved.
Everyone raised the microphone together, "Dear Red Army veterans, dear comrades, and comrades: Today, with great respect, we gather here to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
On the stage, a female comrade in military uniform held up a microphone and spoke passionately about the history of Army Day: "In 1944, a gunshot pierced the sky from the top of the city wall in front of Nancheng, and the revolutionary armed forces led by the Communist Party of China were born!"
Then the male comrade took over and told the stories of the predecessors, telling people how difficult it was for them.
The audience applauded crazily for the seniors.
Next to Director Shen in the audience sat Secretary Yang and Director Lin. He looked at the four newcomers on the stage and said, "Chen Qing is really capable of supporting the younger generation."
Secretary Yang: “…”
Is it necessary to be sarcastic at this time?
Director Lin continued, "Xiao Qing has trained them very well. Look, these four comrades are full of energy and speak with power. They are much better than those randomly selected. Moreover, they are willing to give young comrades opportunities to perform and are not afraid of being overshadowed."
Secretary Yang, in order to fit in, said, "Yes, she has a way of selecting and employing people."
She has a firm grasp on the three departments of the factory committee. She is bold in employing people, has a keen eye, and allows her subordinates to continue to grow. As a leader, she is not only qualified but also excellent.
The four comrades on the stage took turns, and finally it was Chen Qing's turn to speak: "Comrades! Today's peace is hard-won. It was exchanged for the lives of countless martyrs. We must inherit and carry forward the spirit of the Red Army, continue the revolution, and always maintain our true colors!
Now, I declare that the celebration of the 44th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Liberation Army officially begins! "
The auditorium was filled with people, cheers and applause rising and falling like waves.
Su Manman looked at the people on the stage with red eyes.
She squeezed into the auditorium regardless of everything just to see the stage.
Now she works in the workshop every day. The more work she does, the more she wants to return to the art troupe.
She even practiced her lines specially for selecting the host of this martial arts competition, but the selector was Chen Qing, who was jealous of her, so he eliminated her, otherwise she would definitely have made it.
The Women's Federation also plans to put on a drama.
She also fought for it.
But there is no role suitable for her.
Su Manman looked at Chen Qing standing in the center of the stage, and secretly wiped away her tears when everyone was applauding.
Now Yang Xiujin doesn't like her and has gone out to find another woman. She wants to report Yang Xiujin for having affairs with both men and women, but she is pregnant and the child cannot be without a father.
Yang Xiujin even threatened her: "If you dare to talk nonsense, believe it or not, your parents will have a hard time. You are their daughter, they raised you so much, but you didn't bring them any benefit. You stubbornly cut off your father's path to promotion, and now you want to kill them. If I had a daughter like you, I would strangle you to death!"
She burst into tears at that time.
I want to refute Yang Xiujin's words.
But I don’t know where to start.
When Chen Qing asked her to go home, her parents kept saying that Chen Qing was a good person, the best person in the world, and told her to stay at home.
She used all the money she brought home to buy a job, but Yang Xiujing came to her and seduced her, causing her to lose her virginity in the guesthouse.
Chastity is the most important thing for a woman.
When Yang Xiujin said, "In the future, I will definitely give you a good life and make all women envy you," she believed it. She ignored her mother's threat to commit suicide and followed Yang Xiujin from the second floor covered with a sheet.
For love, she would do anything.
But what about Yang Xiujin?
How dare he betray her!
She felt sorry for her parents, sorry for her troupe leader, and sorry for her own stage. How could the man she got in return be like this!
Su Manman looked at the lesbians who were competing with men on the stage, covered her eyes with one hand and cried, with a trace of hatred in her eyes that she was not even aware of.
The competition selected ten powerful comrades to compete, and after the top three were selected, the performance began.
The first stage was the performance of the Red Army predecessors.
When the old military bugle came on stage, an old senior walked onto the stage with sonorous and powerful steps, took the old military bugle wrapped in red silk from Chen Qing's hand, and blew the prelude to "The Red Army is Not Afraid of the Long March".
In an instant——
Everybody stood up and sang along.
The people in the aisle were infected by the song and sang along at the top of their lungs.
This scene was shocking. There was no guidance, but everyone stood up spontaneously and sang in unison. Reporters came to record this scene with cameras.
The Red Army predecessors had loud voices and sang with great vigor. Many old comrades listened and recalled the past years, and their eyes were red with tears.
He Yuxiang, Wang Wenming and his grandfather sat in the same seat. Grandpa Wang stood up excitedly, and he and Wang Wenming stood on their seats.
He looked at his aunt standing in the dark corner of the stage. She was smiling and singing along. The senior who was blowing the bugle on the stage was in tears. He felt a strong shock in his heart.
There are indeed people who are willing to give their all for something with little hope, just to protect this home.
The chorus resounded through the sky, and the sound waves almost blew off the dome of the auditorium.
Wang Wenming's eyes lit up as he listened. He clenched his fists and said, "I want to be a Red Army soldier, too!"
Grandpa Wang patted his grandson's shoulder heavily: "Good job!"
Many children at the scene were also listening to the magnificent song, and the seeds of sincere patriotism were taking root and sprouting. Even after a long time, they still remembered this scene deeply.
Afterwards, each workshop showed off their unique skills and invited senior colleagues to join in, creating constant laughter on the scene.
The lights in the final stage auditorium gradually dimmed, leaving only a beam of warm yellow light falling on the stage.
The twelve children were lined up in three rows, and the youngest child was Comrade Xiaoyu.
She stood in the front row, wearing a snow-white shirt and a bright red scarf on her chest. Her little hands were pressed nervously against the seams of her trousers, but her eyes were as bright as stars.
The prelude sounded, and a clear child's voice sang loudly, "The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and the song of victory is so loud..."
The children's voices rang out, full of vitality, and suddenly made people's eyes sore.
The reporter was so happy that he found the most suitable angle and took a photo that has been circulated for a long time.
The bright red stage is like the rising sun, and the children are growing vigorously. Under the stage, faces with white hair and black hair raised together form the most resilient mountains on this land.
