560: Do you want to go to Beijing?
Zhou Ziheng had nothing to complain about his leader's work arrangements.
After a brief moment of surprise, he nodded and agreed:
"Okay, I'll go over to attend the agricultural reclamation conference then."
"Well, if you go to the capital, you can go home at the same time, which is like killing two birds with one stone."
Hearing that he was going home, Zhou Ziheng thought of something else and suddenly became energetic:
"Commander, you just said you would bring a working group over for a meeting. Who will be on this working group?"
Commander Xu grinned:
"Why, what are your plans?"
Zhou Ziheng smiled:
"I don't have any plans. I'm just asking, are there any hard requirements for being a member of this working group?"
“There are no special requirements, but you have to be very selective. Not everyone can go.”
"Oh——" Zhou Ziheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Also, the Corps will not only send a working group, but will also select a program to send to the capital. It may then be performed at the Agricultural Reclamation Conference."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng couldn't control his inner emotions, and his eyes shone with a different brilliance:
"What kind of program will be selected?"
“There are no regulations yet, and the type of program depends on what each farm chooses to submit.
There are a total of ninety-three farms, large and small, in the entire Beidahuang Corps. If each of these ninety-three farms selects one program, that would be ninety-three programs.
Excluding some smaller farms, even if only sixty farms are left with programs to submit, only one will be selected from the sixty programs.
Therefore, the programs that are selected must be the best of the best, and it is not easy to stand out."
Commander Xu didn't say it explicitly, but his words hinted at two words:
No hope!
Although Commander Xu was born into a peasant family and had a low level of education, he was a shrewd man with a particularly quick mind. After hearing what Zhou Ziheng had just said, he guessed what Zhou Ziheng's intention was.
This guy wanted to take this opportunity to take his Xier to the capital.
Although Xier is indeed good and one can tell her quality just by looking at the stills in the newspaper, it is obvious that White Haired Girl is not suitable for program selection because the program is too long. The agricultural reclamation conference is mainly a meeting, so where would there be so much time to watch such a long program?
Besides, this is a national conference. Each region will have to select a program to present, so there will definitely be a lot of programs. It is impossible to give them so much time.
So Commander Xu felt that Zhou Ziheng’s plan would fail this time.
As for the members of the working group, it is obvious that with Xier's qualifications, this unknown girl is not qualified to join this working group.
If she were selected, anyone with a discerning eye would know that she was forced in because of connections. Even if Commander Xu allowed it, Zhou Ziheng would definitely not agree given his style of doing things.
As a result, both roads are blocked.
Commander Xu pondered for a while and asked bluntly:
"You want to take your Xi'er to the capital, right?"
“——” Zhou Ziheng did not deny it.
"You want to take her to the capital, why don't you ask for leave and go back? It's just the right time to go home and visit your family during the New Year and let your parents meet her."
Zhou Ziheng took a sip of tea and answered seriously:
"I want to save some money on travel expenses."
Commander Xu: “…” This kid is really good at fooling people blatantly!
If Commander Xu hadn't known that Zhou Ziheng earned 130 yuan a month and hadn't been sure that no employees' wages were owed last month, he would have believed it.
Zhou Ziheng took another sip of tea absentmindedly and said:
"Anyway, I can choose a show to participate in the selection, right?"
"Well, there will be a competition. Everyone will show off their skills. Whoever's program takes first place in the entire corps will have the opportunity to go to the capital with the working group."
Zhou Ziheng nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Commander Xu put down his teacup and let out a long sigh:
"Come on, stop thinking about all that crap. It's still a while before dinner, let's have another plate!"
Zhou Ziheng had no choice but to put down his teacup and continue playing chess with Commander Xu.
In this game of chess, Zhou Ziheng was a little distracted and not focused, and his hands lacked killing intent, so in the end, Commander Xu won.
Commander Xu was in a great mood after winning, and was very proud of himself. He felt that his chess skills had improved greatly.
Zhou Ziheng was defeated and then he remembered that he hadn't seen Yu Xiaoye for a while.
I got off the kang and went to look for someone, and found that Yu Xiaoye was cooking with Commander Xu's wife in the kitchen next door.
The old and the young get along quite well.
This girl is absolutely good at personnel work, and she can win over people of all ages.
After having lunch at Commander Xu's house and staying for a while, the two said goodbye.
After eating three big meals in two days, Yu Xiaoye touched his stomach with some melancholy and said:
"After the Chinese New Year, I gained at least 10 to 20 pounds. I decided to start losing weight from now on. I can't get any fatter!"
Zhou Ziheng turned his head and looked at Yu Xiaoye's slightly rounded face:
"I finally gained some weight, you can't lose it. I like you to be a little fatter."
Finally came another sentence:
"It feels better to be fatter."
Yu Xiaoye glared at Zhou Ziheng:
"You've also learned bad habits from those old rascals, haven't you? You old rascal!"
Zhou Ziheng smiled:
"I'm different from those guys. I'm only being rude to you."
Yu Xiaoye felt a little irritated after hearing these vulgar words. He stopped looking at him and strode towards the jeep.
The two men got into the jeep. Zhou Ziheng started the car, but did not turn around. Instead, he drove in another direction.
Yu Xiaoye noticed that the direction was wrong and asked:
"Can we go back now?"
"Well, you can go back, but I want to discuss something with you first."
Yu Xiao
Ye heard his tone was a little unusual, and asked quickly:
"What can't you tell me on the way back?"
"Let's discuss it first before we go."
Yu Xiaoye cheered up:
"What's the matter? Good or bad?"
Zhou Ziheng didn't say whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, and Yu Xiaoye couldn't tell anything from the expression on his face.
This guy sometimes doesn't show his emotions at all, making it hard to guess.
Zhou Ziheng drove to the playground of the division headquarters.
The two got out of the car, and Yu Xiaoye hurried around the car and ran to Zhou Ziheng, put his hand into his arm, put his arm around his waist and asked:
"What's going on? Tell me quickly."
Zhou Ziheng looked at Yu Xiaoye's bright eyes and asked:
"Do you want to go back to the capital with me?"
"Huh?" Yu Xiaoye was surprised. "Going to the capital? Why did you suddenly think of going to the capital?"
"Answer me first, do you want to go?"
"Why did you go to the capital first?"
Zhou Ziheng gently put his arm around Yu Xiaoye's back and looked at her tenderly:
"I want to take you back to my house."
Yu Xiaoye felt a surge of sweetness in his heart and said with a smile:
"My dad probably wouldn't agree."
"Now there is an opportunity for you to go to the capital in the name of a business trip."
