[Chapter 149 Chapter 149 What is this list? ]
Wang Pingyuan opened the carton and looked inside.
When I saw the full box of white flour steamed buns, I was completely stunned.
He seemed completely unable to believe what he saw. He stared at the box for a full half minute, then picked up one and pressed it as if in a dream.
It took me a long time to recover.
After reacting, Wang Pingyuan slammed the cardboard box shut and looked around vigilantly.
Fortunately, it was noon and they were on their way out of the city.
The bright sun was hanging in the sky, making the dirt road scorching hot.
Apart from the two of them, there was no one else in sight.
Wang Pingyuan then lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get this steamed bun? Don't tell me it was issued by the army. I was a soldier too!"
These days, even the army can only guarantee that people have enough to eat. If you want to eat steamed buns made entirely of white flour, that is only possible occasionally during festivals and holidays. Don't even think about it at other times.
"It's not issued, it's a trophy. Don't ask how you got it. Just keep it if it's given to you. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Cheng Liyan did not explain much.
But his frank attitude made Wang Pingyuan feel relieved.
Come to think of it.
Cheng Liyan came here on official business.
Even if he has a good relationship with me, he would not make a mistake just for a little food.
After thinking it through, the whole sheep in the box became easier to accept.
Cheng Liyan stayed with Wang Pingyuan's team for a day and also took a walk in the mountains.
After determining the scope of entry into the mountains and communicating precautions with the brigade cadres, we returned to the county town before dark the next day.
Tonight, the captain he designated will come with the soldiers.
After Cheng Liyan settled down, he went to the car.
He looked around the car carefully, mainly to see if his wife had sent anything else while he was away.
After making sure that there was nothing, he looked at the chopstick hidden in the corner.
Then I went back to rest with peace of mind.
-
The time when Garment Factory No. 2 released the final results happened to be the day when my second brother and his team were supposed to deliver the goods.
Shen Yuyao must participate.
She got up early, placed the small bowl in the most convenient place in the space, and then went out.
Although the meeting was not to start until nine o'clock, Shen Yuyao left before seven o'clock.
The main thing is that today she and her master have to wear the work clothes issued by the building. Those work clothes are spring and autumn clothes and are a bit thick.
She was afraid that she would look unsightly sweating when she got there, so she would rather go out early.
What she didn't expect was that when she arrived at the entrance of the garment factory, her master Ding Cuizhen was already waiting for her there.
Shen Yuyao quickly got off the car, pushed it a few steps and asked, "Master, why are you here so early?"
Ding Cuizhen took out her handkerchief and handed it to Shen Yuyao, saying, "Wipe it off quickly, you're sweating all over."
After saying that, he couldn't help but complain: "Is Director Wang a psychopath? I've been standing here for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone from any unit come over in work clothes.
So he doesn't feel hot without wearing anything, right?"
Ding Cuizhen has a lot of experience. It was Director Wang who begged her to come to the department store and only then did she agree to help out.
So she has no concerns about whether she is a leader or not.
Besides, she is a straightforward person and doesn't think about whether what she says is appropriate.
The two were standing at the main entrance of the garment factory at this time. When she complained, several people looked over.
Inside the factory gate, a group of people just walked out of the office building.
After hearing what Ding Cuizhen said, all the people turned their heads and looked over here.
A middle-aged woman who was walking in front with a very serious expression stopped.
She glanced at the silhouettes of the master and disciple, her gaze lingered on Shen Yuyao for a few seconds, and then she frowned tightly.
She turned her head and asked the woman standing next to her: "Who are those two? Are they also here to participate in the show?"
The woman's gaze was now on the master and disciple.
He nodded immediately after hearing the question, then leaned close to the middle-aged woman's ear and said, "Secretary Xing, the young one is Shen Yuyao, and the one who was yelling is her master Ding Cuizhen. They are both contestants from the department store, and this time Ding Cuizhen also has a design that entered the semi-finals."
The woman who was speaking was Yuan Ping, whom both the master and the disciple disliked.
Yuan Ping works in the trade union of Garment Factory No. 2.
After Secretary Xing took office, no one knew how she caught the leader's eye, and now she has been transferred here to assist the leader in his work.
After hearing what Yuan Ping said, Secretary Xing looked at Shen Yuyao again, and then snorted coldly: "Looking at that coquettish look, it's obvious that she is not someone who can truly serve the people. Such a person will never have any future!"
Having said that, she patted Yuan Ping's shoulder comfortingly.
"Don't worry, the public has a sharp eye. Without good character, how can you create good works? The fact that she didn't win the award this time fully illustrates this problem!"
After saying this, she no longer looked at the master and disciple and strode forward.
Yuan Ping naturally followed closely behind him.
A few steps away from them, Song Heping, former deputy director and chief designer of Garment Factory No. 2, sighed deeply.
Today's performance at Garment Factory No. 2 was very strange.
According to the competition notice they released previously, on the day when the final results are announced, all contestants who have entered the semi-finals will be invited to the stage to show everyone their skilled skills.
There is a lot of technical communication and learning these days.
After all, this is an era that emphasizes "unity and mutual assistance to promote production". People are very motivated and the learning atmosphere is very strong.
Besides, the failure of a work to be selected does not mean that the contestant’s own level is poor. Those who are able to participate in this competition are all outstanding talents in their own units.
As a result, all the contestants were indeed invited, but in the end, only three were invited to the stage to perform!
These three people are everyone except Shen Yuyao who entered the final round.
As soon as the list was read out, the whole audience was in an uproar.
After all, this is no different from directly announcing the list of winners!
Doesn’t this already mean that the works of these three people were finally selected?
In the meeting hall, almost everyone's eyes were directed towards Master Shen Yuyao and his apprentice.
Ding Cuizhen almost exploded with anger on the spot!
She never thought that things would turn out like this!
It doesn’t matter whether the work will be selected in the end, and Ding Cuizhen doesn’t care about this either.
After all, Shen Yuyao is still a novice, and being able to get this far is already a victory for her.
But the way Garment Factory No. 2 did it is really disgusting. No one would believe that there is no trick involved!
It was originally agreed that all contestants who entered the semi-finals would have to perform on stage, and every person and even every unit that received the notice attached great importance to it.
Even an experienced old lady like Ding Cuizhen had practiced at home for a while in advance.
Not to mention the rising stars in other units.
But the garment factory didn't even give a reason and directly published such a list, which in itself is extremely disrespectful to everyone.
And what the hell is this list?
Isn't this a clear attempt to exclude her apprentice and deliberately slap the master and apprentice in the face? !
