Chapter 72 Different Clothes
I originally thought that only the factory committee host was pre-selected, but now it seems that it’s all a shady deal!
Xiaoyu asked timidly: "Can I go and see?"
Of course Xiaoyu could go to the competition held in the machinery factory, facing all the employees and their families.
But if the children want to go, they have to be accompanied by an adult, and as the host, she certainly doesn't have the energy to look after two children on stage.
Chen Qing hesitated for a while before saying, "I will go to the factory early tomorrow. If someone is willing to look after you, I will take you there, but you have to promise me to be good and not make any noise."
"good!"
Xiaoyu laughed excitedly.
Chen Qing was too tired to sew anymore. After taking a bath, she went to bed without eating.
The next morning, Chen Qing washed up early, put on the white shirt and black pants that everyone had agreed on, and tied his hair into a new Chinese style high bun, giving a feeling of peace and prosperity in the country.
She hurried to the machinery factory to find Tian Mengya.
Tian Mengya is the person in charge of arranging the contestants to go on stage. She needs to arrive at the scene early to confirm the first group of people participating in the competition, so that no one will be there when the announcement is made.
Seeing that Tian Mengya was busy, Chen Qing didn't want to disturb her, so he hurried back and told the two children that they couldn't go because there was no one to take care of them.
Xiaoyu hesitated and said, "Can we go with uncle?"
The uncle she was referring to was naturally He Yuan.
Ever since Chen Qing teased He Yuan last time, the two haven't seen each other again, and even He Yuan only feeds the two children.
At first, Xiaoyu hated He Yuan for not being friends with her aunt, but later, Uncle He Yuan gave her too much, and she started to like Uncle He Yuan a little bit, so she could only be a greedy bad kid in the dilemma.
Chen Qing held his forehead with his hand.
Seeing her aunt in a dilemma, Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand and said, "Aunt, we won't go."
He Yuxiang also said: "I've seen the martial arts competition, there's nothing good to see, and it's very crowded."
They were clamoring to go, and Chen Qing might have hesitated for a while. Then they obediently said they wanted to stay at home, and Chen Qing immediately ran next door to find He Yuan.
He Yuan looked towards the door as if he sensed something.
Chen Qing smiled awkwardly and said hello: "Researcher He, long time no see."
"Indeed, I haven't seen her for a long time." He Yuan said in a faint voice: "I'm afraid that Secretary Chen will think that I like her."
"Oh, why do you still take such trivial matters to heart? We are all neighbors, we should take care of each other and help each other."
Chen Qing sat in front of him and poured him a cup of tea.
He Yuan's face was tense, but he couldn't help but jump for joy when he saw her.
"What does Secretary Chen want me to do?"
He asked even though he knew the answer.
Chen Qing stated his purpose openly: "Please help me. Don't worry, I will treat you to dinner tonight."
He Yuan agreed.
Chen Qing didn't expect it to be so smooth. He thanked him again and again, then ran to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy three bottles of drinks and peanuts. After stuffing them for Xiaoyu, he took the two of them directly to He Yuan: "I'm leaving first, you guys should also look at the time."
Before he finished speaking, the person had already walked away.
She came to the back of the stage, borrowed Tian Mengya's watch, and waited anxiously for the four people to arrive.
There were changes in the leadership today. Lao Liu just came over and mentioned it specifically. When you host the congratulations later, you must remember to include their names!
Chen Qing kept looking outside. The scene was already bustling with noise and even the music had started playing. It was not until five minutes before the show started that she saw them arriving.
They were all wearing green military uniforms.
Yue Yuzhu pretended to be surprised: "Xiaoqing, today is Army Day, why aren't you wearing a military uniform?"
"Yes, in such a crucial occasion, do you want to stand out? How can personal feelings be placed above the public interest?"
"Secretary Chen, you have done so much for the stage during this period. People in the factory are praising you and think you have changed. Why are you still like this? You really disappoint me!"
"What if the leaders see us? There are many important people coming today."
…
They talked one after another, characterizing Chen Qing's behavior of not wearing a military uniform.
Today is a special period. Military uniforms are a symbol of revolution and progress. They are not only clothes that everyone admires, but also an expression of political stance.
She was wearing a white shirt, and even if she had a simple background to back her up, she would definitely be criticized and leave a bad impression in the minds of many leaders.
Chen Qing guessed that they would target him, but he didn't expect them to be so blatant!
She was furious, but time was almost up.
Tian Mengya, who was most familiar to her, needed to make constant arrangements in the back venue, which would easily get her clothes dirty, so she specially wore a blue cloth dress.
Even though there were other girls wearing green military uniforms backstage, they might not be willing to switch with her given the obstruction of this group of people!
And even if you change it, it may not be too late.
Tian Mengya became anxious: "What should I do?"
Director Liu was afraid that something had not been handled properly, so he came to check on the situation. When he saw Chen Qing in a white shirt, his head buzzed: "Chen Qing, what are you wearing!"
Military uniforms are hard to come by, but Chen Qing's brother-in-law is a soldier, so there must be military uniforms at home. Now that supplies are in short supply, she can just alter them and wear them. How could she make a whole set of white shirts?
Director Lin, the women's director, also came and frowned when she saw Chen Qing's clothes.
This is a big day for the whole factory, and it is not just for Chen Qing to show off.
Yue Yuzhu crossed her arms and pretended to be worried: "What should I do? Otherwise, Xiaoqing, don't go on stage, or you will be scolded by the leader later."
"Yes, if you go on stage now, everyone will definitely say that you are obsessed with beauty and deliberately seducing people."
"You didn't do it on purpose, did you? You knew that the big bosses were coming and wanted to attract their attention!"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, Xiaoqing is not that kind of person."
Yue Yuzhu smiled.
His eyes were full of malice.
Isn’t Chen Qing very eloquent? Doesn’t he like to target her?
She wanted to see what Chen Qing could come up with now!
After today, Chen Qing's bad reputation will definitely go to the next level.
The competition arena was crowded with people early on, and the scorching sun could not stop them from celebrating the Army Day. The workers of the machinery factory were wearing washed-out work clothes, with Chairman Mao badges on their chests, and waving their hands happily.
Director Shen, the director of the machinery factory, was the first to go on stage. He wore a military uniform and wore Liberation shoes.
Behind it is a five-pointed star made up of 108 gears. The morning light leaks in through the gaps in the steel frame and breaks into gold foil on the star.
"Hello, comrades!" He raised the iron horn wrapped in red silk, and the sound came into the ears of the workers from the horns all around the machinery factory.
"Hello, Director!"
The audience erupted in applause.
Director Shen continued to read the speech he had prepared long ago with great passion.
And now there are less than two minutes until Chen Qing takes the stage.
