The next day, Lin Siya sold the bicycle ticket directly to Zhao Qin. She didn't sell it at a high price. She just charged the same price as on the black market. Zhao Qin was very grateful for this.
Everyone in the office soon found out that Lin Siya had sold the bicycle ticket to Zhao Qin. Some people felt it was a pity, but Sun Xiaoling and the other girls didn't feel anything. Instead, they asked Lin Siya to treat them.
Lin Siya and Zhao Qin didn't say how much the bicycle tickets cost, but it was definitely not cheap.
Lin Siya was not stingy. She bought two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy and a bottle of soda for each person from the supply and marketing cooperative and distributed them to them. After all, this was a happy occasion and she had no family to share with. It seemed that the people in the office were pretty nice, so everyone was happy together.
"Okay, Siya, you are really nice. I hope your next work can be submitted!" Li Meili said with a smile while chewing White Rabbit milk candy.
"Thank you for your kind words!"
“Haha~”
There was a lot of laughter in the office.
"Hey, why is it so lively?"
Director He had just returned from the bank and heard a bustling commotion in his department's office.
"Director He, you're back. Come and have some candy and some soda."
Lin Siya handed Director He a bottle of soda and gave him a handful of candy.
"What good day is today?" Director He asked curiously.
She was on a business trip a few days ago, so she didn't know that Lin Siya's paintings and articles were published in the newspaper.
"Director He, there's good news. Siya's paintings and articles have been published in the newspapers. So, she's treating us to candy and soda today." Zhao Qin quickly explained the matter.
"Really? Where's the newspaper? Bring it over to me."
"Director He, it's not printed yet. It won't be published until May 1st."
"Great, great!" Director He was very happy. After all, not everyone could appear in the newspaper these days. This was also an honor for their Finance Department.
"While everyone is here, I have an announcement to make. To welcome this year's May Day Labor Day, our factory has decided to hold a May Day Labor Gala. Every department in our factory is required to present a program, and our Finance Department is no exception. With only a week left until May Day, time is tight and the task is heavy. Everyone should come up with a program for our Finance Department. Also, first, second, and third place winners will be selected for each program participating in this gala, and everyone will receive a reward."
The people present were reluctant at first when they heard that there would be a program, but when they heard that there would be rewards, they immediately became excited.
"Director, what are the rewards?" Lin Fang asked
"Yes, Director, what are the rewards?" Everyone was very curious. After all, the textile factory had organized galas before, but there had never been any awards. This was the first time.
"Our textile factory has spent a lot of money on this. The first place winner will be rewarded with one pound of pork and ten feet of good cloth. The second place winner will be rewarded with half a pound of pork and five feet of defective cloth. The third place winner will be rewarded with five feet of defective cloth."
“Wow!”
"There is such a generous reward!" Everyone started talking excitedly.
"Alright, quiet down for a moment." Director He clapped his hands. "Everyone, prepare actively and strive to win an award. Our Finance Department can't fall behind."
At this time, Sun Xiaoling said: "How about we dance? There is strength in numbers."
“Chorus is fine too!”
Everyone started discussing and expressing their opinions, and the scene was very lively.
Lin Siya thought about it and felt that there was nothing new in either singing or dancing. According to everyone's current life, these were the only things they could be exposed to, and at most they could add some quick-paced singing or opera.
Ordinary operas are not enough, they are considered feudal dregs, and only model operas can be performed on stage.
If you want to stand out among the many programs, you must be innovative.
Lin Siya recalled the various evening shows she had watched, and quickly thought of the most popular form of performance, which was skits.
However, it would probably take quite a while to perform a skit. After all, the lines in it need a lot of time to practice. What's more, no one present had ever been exposed to this form of performance. It would probably be difficult to complete it in just one week.
However, this is just my personal opinion. Sometimes human potential is unlimited, and no one knows what the result will be unless you try.
While she was thinking, everyone expressed their opinions. They found that Lin Siya was thinking very seriously, so they asked her to express her opinion. Lin Siya did not refuse and directly expressed her thoughts.
"I don't think our department has an advantage in either singing or dancing. First of all, there are only eight people in our department, including Director He, so there are only nine of us. I'm afraid we lack momentum in the chorus. Secondly, as for dancing, we are not professionals, so we are definitely not as good as those in the publicity department. It will be difficult for us to win an award."
"After hearing what Siya said, it really is true."
"What shall we do? Is there no hope for us?"
Everyone started to worry again.
"I came up with a completely new way of performing that had never been seen before."
"Tell me quickly."
"Yes, Siya, tell us quickly!" Everyone immediately became interested.
"I believe everyone has seen movies. Movies are very long and contain many stories. We don't need so many stories to perform on stage. We only need a small part of it. We can bring that small part of the story to the stage and perform it with real people. Of course, we don't have to perform a clip from a movie. We can write and perform our own, which is even better."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was a very good idea, but at the same time they were a little worried.
“So how should I write this story?
“Yes, none of us can write.”
"How can we perform? We haven't learned any acting skills."
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to what Siya has to say."
Director He signaled for everyone to be quiet, and everyone turned their attention to Lin Siya again.
"I can write a story. Since this party is held to celebrate May Day, the content of the story must be based on May Day. I think we can write about the stories of ordinary workers. This way, it will be closer to people's hearts. As for the performance, don't worry. Since it is about the stories of ordinary workers, we are ordinary workers too. We should behave like ordinary people in the performance. It shouldn't be too difficult."
After hearing what Lin Siya said, everyone inexplicably felt that this matter didn't seem so difficult.
"Then Comrade Lin Siya, please finish writing as soon as possible. Time is short and the task is heavy. Everyone should also practice hard."
Finally, Director He made the final decision and the matter was settled.
"Director He, I have something else to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"It's about work."
"Okay, then come to my office!"
