After coming out of Director Li's office, Lin Siya felt relieved. Director Li was truly worthy of being the director of the Propaganda Department. When it came to ideological work, he had a whole system of skills, and she really couldn't handle it.
Back in her office, thinking of what Director Li had said to her, Lin Siya took out the manuscript paper and prepared to start writing.
The commendation meeting will be held in a week, and she will be giving a speech at the meeting. She must think carefully about how to write the speech.
Soon, she found her inspiration and began to write eloquently.
In less than an hour, a passionate speech was written.
Lin Siya read it from beginning to end, revised it a little, and felt that there was no problem. Then she took the speech manuscript to Director Li's office again. Director Li took a look at it and applauded.
"Hmm! As expected of someone who's even been published in a Kyoto newspaper, this speech is incredibly well-written! It makes me want to catch those bad guys."
"Director Li, you're too kind!" Lin Siya said modestly.
"But, Xiaolin, I think this can be polished a little more..." Director Li said, pointing to a paragraph.
Lin Siya carefully read the passage, pondered for a moment, and said, "I understand, Director Li. I'll go back and revise it."
Lin Siya returned to her office and continued to work on her speech, repeatedly pondering every word, striving for perfection.
After some effort, she finally finished the revision. When she handed the speech manuscript to Director Li again, Director Li smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good, Xiaolin, this time it's really impeccable! The commendation meeting in a week will not only have leaders from our municipal party committee, but also leaders from the provincial party committee and a leader sent from above to supervise this matter, so we must pay attention to it and must not make any mistakes. However, I believe you will perform well at tomorrow's commendation meeting." Director Li encouraged.
"No problem, Director Li, I will definitely speak well!"
Lin Siya didn't expect that so many leaders would attend the commendation meeting a week later, but she understood it after thinking about it. After all, this case triggered actions all over the country. The situation had such a great impact, so it was normal to attract the attention of higher-level leaders.
"Very good, then you can go back first."
Returning to her desk once again, Lin Siya decided to memorize the speech as soon as possible just in case.
Fortunately, she wrote the manuscript herself, so it was not difficult to memorize it. So by the time of lunch, Lin Siya had memorized the entire manuscript.
"Xiaoya, let's go and have dinner!" Xu Jie called her.
"good!"
The three of them came to the cafeteria together. As soon as they arrived, they heard good news: the cafeteria had made braised fish for lunch today!
This is really rare. You have to know that in the 1970s, there was a planned economy and material supplies were insufficient, so the amount each unit could get was limited.
State-owned units like theirs sometimes cannot get as much supplies as some factories.
It is simply impossible to eat meat every meal.
Even though the situation has improved in recent years, for a unit like theirs, it is already a good thing to be able to eat meat once every two weeks, and it is even rarer to eat fish.
Because they are not in a coastal area, the fish they can eat are basically from the river, or they can wait until winter when there will be some frozen fish available.
The chef in the cafeteria has excellent cooking skills, and his braised fish is a must-try, without any earthy smell. Lin Siya has been here for such a long time, and was fortunate enough to have eaten here once. Today is the second time. Tell me if it is rare or not.
The braised fish served here is not what you imagine, a whole fish on a plate. All the fish are cut into pieces, about seven or eight pieces per serving, and the supply is limited to each person, so one person can only get one portion.
The three of them ordered one portion each without hesitation. Lin Siya ordered another portion of spicy and sour potato shreds, while Xu Jie and entertainer Xiao Wen ordered a portion of vegetables.
"I didn't expect that I would make braised fish again today. It's been a few months since the last time I made this. It smells so good." Xiaowen opened the lunch box, took a deep breath, and swallowed his saliva at the smell of the braised fish.
Seeing Xiaowen's exaggerated expression, Lin Siya and Xu Jie looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
This little girl is heartless and just loves to eat. She is a real foodie.
"Let's eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold and won't taste good."
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Lin Siya also opened her lunch box, and the aroma of braised fish filled her nose. Wei, who had been busy all morning, shouted desperately, "First, eat a mouthful of rice, then add some braised fish. The taste is simply amazing."
"Ugh~"
"Ugh~"
Suddenly, Xu Jie vomited, and Xiaowen and Lin Siya were both shocked.
"Sister Xu, are you okay?"
"That's right, Sister Xu, what's wrong with you?"
The two men quickly put down their chopsticks, one was responsible for patting Xu Jie's back, and the other was responsible for pouring water.
"I don't know what's wrong with me, but I suddenly feel sick when I smell fish."
"Did you eat something bad?"
"No, I ate as usual this morning, just some steamed buns and porridge. Maybe my stomach has been feeling bad lately. It's okay, let's continue eating."
Xu Jie felt a little better and was about to pick up her chopsticks again, but it turned out that she really couldn't eat any fish at all.
Seeing her like this, Lin Siya was thoughtful. How could Xu Jie's condition be similar to the early morning sickness of pregnant women in those movies and TV shows she had seen?
