Originally, Xu Damao had gone to see Manager Yang this morning to discuss the selection of films. As the factory had organized a movie viewing in the afternoon, Xu Damao was adjusting the equipment at night when he saw Qin Huairu walking over with a pretty country bumpkin, chatting and laughing.
Seeing this, Xu Damao instantly recalled that Silly Zhu had asked Qin Huairu to introduce him to someone. He guessed that the country bumpkin was Qin Huairu's cousin. Qin Huairu was about to introduce her to Silly Zhu's blind date.
Xu Damao was such a petty person. After suffering a loss at the canteen, he didn't know that Lin Tianjiao had already taken revenge on Silly Zhu. He felt that Lin Tianjiao had no choice but to endure Silly Zhu's bullying. Xu Damao felt that he couldn't endure it. He was much smarter than Lin Tianjiao, and he instantly had an idea of how to take revenge on Silly Zhu. Of course, the most important thing was that the girl beside Qin Huiru was very beautiful.
Hence, Xu Damao went over and quickly interrupted Qin Jingru and Silly Zhu's blind date. Qin Huairu did not try to persuade her and sent Qin Jingru away after the movie. Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard house and waited for a long time without seeing anyone. He went over to ask, and according to Qin Huairu, he said," When Qin Jingru heard Xu Damao say that his nickname was Silly Pillar, she went straight back after watching the movie.
On the same night, something else happened. The black porcelain jar that Lin Tianjiao had inherited from his eldest uncle, Lin Dajun, had used to marinate radishes under the eaves of his house. At three or four in the morning, a pile of broken bricks smashed through the window of his second uncle's house. In this cold winter, the couple was so cold that they couldn't sleep for the entire night.
The next day, Ma Hua was cutting vegetables in the canteen, while Silly Zhu sat on the chair opposite him, staring blankly.
"Master, I heard that Xu Damao messed up your blind date?”Ma Hua asked curiously.
"Go, go, go. Don't mention that pot. It's annoying."”
"Master, you weren't like this in the past. Tell me, when did Xu Damao not make a big mistake when he challenged you? Just last time, you chased him around the factory with a rolling pin and made him so tired that he was like a stray dog.”
Ma Hua stopped cutting vegetables and continued,""But this time…Master, he did such a wicked thing, but why didn't you react at all? This isn't right, it doesn't match your style.”
Seeing this, Shazhu said anxiously: "It's getting too urgent. How can I have the energy to care about this? Do you know that Deputy Factory Manager Li called me over this morning?”
Ma Hua nodded and replied," I know. Did something happen to Master?"”
Silly Zhu was about to explain to his disciple Ma Hua why Deputy Factory Manager Li called him over, but he swallowed his words and said in a bad mood,""I'm talking to you."
"Master, could it be that…yesterday's incident blew up?”Ma Hua asked curiously.
Hearing this, Silly Zhu said excitedly,""Hey, Ma Hua, why don't people call you fried dough twist? It's fine if you don't like what you said the first time, but why did you do it the second time? Do you believe I'll slap you?”
"Alright, Master, I won't ask anymore. I won't ask anymore.”Ma Hua was afraid that he would be beaten up if he offended Silly Zhu, so he quickly said.
Silly Zhu suddenly thought about it and said to Ma Hua with a smile,""Ma Hua, don't attend the staff meeting in the afternoon.”
"Master, why?" Ma Hua was puzzled and continued,""Isn't the staff meeting in the afternoon supposed to be attended by all employees?”
"You're on leave today."”
"No, Master, why would I ask for leave?”Ma Hua pouted and said unhappily. After all, taking leave would deduct his salary.
Silly Zhu raised his head and said to Ma Hua in exasperation,""I'm your master. If I say you want to ask for leave, then you do.”
Ma Hua said aggrievedly,""Master, why? Can we be more reasonable?"
Seeing this, Silly Zhu didn't say anything, his eyes glaring at Ma Hua fiercely.
"Alright, alright, alright. You're my master.”Ma Hua was afraid that he would offend Silly Zhu and not teach him how to cook, so he could only agree. However, he was still very uncomfortable in his heart. With a clang, he cut the radish on the vegetable board into two halves.
That evening, the workers of the Third Steel Rolling Mill in City 49 filed out of the workshop. Some of them took off their sleeves as they walked, while others patted the dust off their bodies as they walked and talked to their colleagues behind them. After all, although meetings were boring, they were much more comfortable than work.
Lin Tianjiao was following behind his master, Old Wang, as they walked towards the auditorium. Along the way, he bumped into Xu Damao, who had a sleepy look on his face. He greeted him and leaned over.
Xu Damao suddenly became spirited and said with a smile,"Lin Tianjiao, do you know what we're going to talk about in this afternoon's meeting?”
Lin Tianjiao was well aware of this, but he still shook his head and said,"I don't know."
"This bro knows." Xu Damao pointed at himself and said proudly.
Old Wang glanced at Xu Damao and said in amusement,""Xu Damao, looks like you're very well-informed.”
"Of course." Xu Damao was afraid that Old Wang and Lin Tianjiao wouldn't believe him, so he added,""Which department am I from? I'm from the publicity department. There's no reason for the factory to not inform us in advance of a meeting.”
Seeing this, Old Wang nodded and felt that it made sense. He smiled and said,"Xu Damao. Then tell me what you want to talk about in the meeting later.”
Just as Xu Damao was about to say something, he saw Lin Tianjiao's disinterested expression and instantly lost all interest in acting cool. He turned his head and said,"If I tell you, wouldn't I be leaking secrets?”
"Virtue."
Seeing this, Old Wang was too lazy to lower himself to Xu Damao's level. He quickly caught up with the workers in front of him and discussed how much money Su Jianguo would get when he married next week.
Lin Tianjiao followed the crowd to the auditorium of the Third Steel Rolling Mill in Sijiu City. There were already hundreds of people gathered below the stage. Some were sitting on stools, some were standing, and some were secretly smoking and chatting in the corners. The air was filled with the faint smell of engine oil and sweat. Red paper hung under the beams, on which were written slogans unique to that era. In front of it was a banner for the staff meeting. Below it was a row of tables, on which microphones and name tags were placed.
Not long after, Manager Yang, Deputy Manager Li, and the other leaders of the Third Rolling Mill in Beijing walked out from the backstage and sat down in their respective seats. The noisy auditorium quieted down.
After the people from the publicity department finished their opening remarks, the leaders spoke one by one. The general idea was to look back on this year and look forward to the next year. They carried out the spirit of dedication that was not afraid of hardship, fatigue, and sacrifice. They did their jobs well and worked hard to build a new motherland.
However, half an hour later, it was Deputy Factory Manager Li's turn to speak. He first summarized the achievements of the steel mill this year and talked about the current production situation. After that, he changed the topic and pointed out He Yuzhu's name to criticize him severely.
