Chapter 76
There are seven beds in one carriage, but the beds are not divided into one compartment. They are distributed in a pattern of three, three, and one, which means that one person has to be temporarily separated from the people in the factory.
The remaining three young comrades were decided by drawing lots. This was how Section Chief Zhao arranged it.
Seeing the hesitation in their eyes, especially the female one, Lu Qin stood by the aisle and said, "You two comrades, draw lots to decide. I'll just go rest next door."
Everyone had rarely been out and was unsure about the situation, so he expressed his understanding.
The lesbian's eyes revealed gratitude. "Comrade Lu, thank you very much."
It was her first time going out with no one to look after her, so she was indeed scared, but she had worked hard to get the opportunity.
Lu Qin carried his luggage and dodged the passersby, "It's okay, just keep an eye on your luggage."
"Okay, Comrade Lu, you too."
Section Chief Zhao was chatting with the factory director. When he saw the female comrade coming over, he inadvertently glanced behind her.
The female comrade noticed his movements carefully and explained softly, "Section Chief Zhao, Comrade Lu from the Propaganda Department has gone to the other side."
Director Ren felt vaguely that the name sounded familiar.
Section Chief Zhao nodded to indicate that he understood, and continued to discuss the matters at the congress with Director Ren.
"Comrade Lu from our Publicity Department will take the photos. We recently prepared a lot of film using the funds approved by the Finance Department."
Director Ren regained his composure and asked, "How are you arranging the submission work later?"
On the upper bunk of a small compartment, Lu Qin lay on the bed with his hands pressed behind his head, revealing his smooth white forehead. He stared at the gray-white head. The noise in his ears and the various smells that came to him made him feel a little hopeless.
The person on the lower bunk only saw a pair of feet in gray socks stretched out from above, first twitching up and down, then becoming quiet, and this repeated many times.
Lu Qin didn't sleep much during the seven or eight hours he was on the road. He only ate a few bites of the pancakes his aunt had made to "stay alive" on the way.
The train ran continuously and finally arrived in the city around nine o'clock in the evening.
There was a mixture of noises.
Lu Qin had already climbed out of bed and was carrying his suitcase to join the main group. As expected, he was squeezed so tightly that he could hardly move.
After getting off the train, the seven of them gathered together, rested in the guesthouse for a day, and went to attend the joint food factory representative conference early the next morning.
The schedule is so tight just to save public resources.
There were three young comrades, two men and one woman. Before going out, Lu Qin tidied himself up, including but not limited to his hair and clothes.
When he went out, several leaders who were dressed conservatively couldn't help but look at him. Wow, I didn't realize that his appearance was so outstanding yesterday. He exuded exquisite handsomeness.
"Good morning," he added.
Some responded to him in the same way, while others nodded.
The people from the production department were carrying a small suitcase filled with biscuits produced by their Life Food Factory.
Lu Qin stepped forward and wanted to help, but was rejected.
The Food Factory Joint Representatives Conference was held in the city's activity hall, which was usually used for performances.
Looking at the red banners unrolled at the door and the red flags fluttering, everyone coming and going was dressed neatly and elegantly in white, gray and green, and some even drove here.
The same similar scene, the factory social gathering, is really nothing compared to this one.
And once he got inside, he only knew what it meant to see the world, based on what he had seen in the past few months. He could also tell from the expressions of the female comrades he was traveling with.
The scope of food factories is not limited to biscuits, but also food. Anything edible and drinkable needs to be encouraged to be produced to meet social needs in turn.
Just by entering the door, Lu Qin saw milk candies, fruit candies, orange drinks, bread, wine, brown sugar, canned fruit, canned meat...
There are things here that Laiyang County doesn't have. It's supposed to be a congress, but it feels like an exhibition.
Not forgetting his mission, he picked up the camera around his neck and started snapping.
When Director Ren heard the noise, he looked back and happened to see Comrade Lu from the Propaganda Department fiddling with a camera seriously.
He continued with his hands behind his back, a smile on his face, "There are quite a few new factories opened this year, many of which didn't exist before."
That meant life was getting better and the country would only grow stronger. He was genuinely happy about that.
The comrade from the production department seemed to be thinking, "We will speed up production as soon as possible when we get back and develop more new products."
Representatives of technical posts have roughly the same idea.
The two parties came here today to learn from each other. To put it more clearly, they came here to exchange experiences and techniques so that they could go back and improve the production of the factory and expand the influence of Life Food Factory.
In previous years, the Food Factory Joint Representatives Conference had been held with the understanding that the representatives from each factory could exchange experiences with each other. The key point was that the conference could benefit everyone.
Lu Qin was addicted to taking pictures: click, click.
"Let's go inside and take a look."
Section Chief Zhao fell two steps behind and reminded Lu Qin: "Don't forget to take pictures."
Lu Qin gestured for him to look at the camera in his arms, "I didn't forget. By the way, Chief, we brought so much film, can we take more pictures?"
Section Chief Zhao nodded and said, "Take more pictures. The factory director has approved it."
With the support of the Finance Department, we feel more confident.
Lu Qin caught a glimpse of his figure walking away and hurried to follow him.
Director Ren stood beside an empty table and said, "That's it."
They arrived at a good time, as there were still many good seats left.
The comrades from the production department opened the package, and Lu Qin quickly put down his camera and went forward to help.
A piece of paper was placed on the table and the cookies were spread out one by one.
The meeting wasn't about to start yet. Lu Qin, holding his camera, reported to Section Chief Zhao, "Section Chief, I'm going to take some photos somewhere else and will be back soon."
Section Chief Zhao was discussing the manuscript with Director Ren, and waved his hand when he heard this.
Lu Qin left with his camera hanging. He didn't walk far and stopped when he saw something strange.
There's a canned fruit shop in the next corner.
Before he got close, the people at the cannery saw the camera hanging around his neck, then saw his face and beckoned him over enthusiastically. "Are you a reporter? Come and try our canned food. It's all carefully crafted by our factory."
The can contains peach flesh, and the sweet juice wrapped around the orange flesh is particularly tempting.
Lu Qin squinted his eyes and looked over, then paused.
