In the hall, a group of people were laughing and celebrating.
As for the other group of people, some were stunned, some looked horrified, some looked unwilling, and some became more respectful after recovering their demeanor.
Two completely different performances were staged in the hall. Even the accompanying tie bowed even more when facing Mr. He and the others after hearing the news.
Of course, although Mr. He was excited, he was also smiling bitterly in his heart.
Who knew that something like this would happen today.
You should do it a few days later. If you do it like this, these people will be scared like quails. How can they have a party?
Mr. He smiled and wondered whether he should change his itinerary and send these people back as soon as possible.
Li Rong, who had the same thoughts as him, also felt that the arrangements for this afternoon and even the evening had to be rearranged. The afternoon meeting could be postponed to allow them to have a good rest, recover, and adjust their mentality.
Otherwise, let alone communication in this situation, even standing together would feel awkward.
bang bang bang
I don't know who started to take the lead in applauding, and then everyone in the hall followed suit.
After the applause started, Xiao Tian, who was originally embarrassed, hesitant, and fearful, hid his inner thoughts, put a smile on his face, and congratulated the Chinese side.
Yang Xiaotao, however, focused his attention on the woman in the middle of the crowd.
She took the lead in this applause.
I just don’t know if it’s true or false.
Thinking of the other party's identity, it should be mostly the latter.
Yang Xiaotao stared at the woman and suddenly felt his calf being kicked. He quickly turned around and saw Ran Qiuye looking angry.
"Look straight."
Ran Qiuye whispered, and Yang Xiaotao quickly shook his head, "No way, my wife is still pretty."
Ran Qiuye ignored him, but his eyes stayed on the woman for two seconds, and then straightened his back, showing that he had strong capital, and he was not bad either.
As the applause stopped, everyone started to take people to check in as planned.
Yang Xiaotao and Ran Qiuye were in a group. Under the leadership of an interpreter, they led several people upstairs.
Soon, several men and women with forced smiles were sent to their respective residences, and then everyone went downstairs.
As for what they think and do in the house, it is no longer their business.
After going downstairs, several people were taken to the conference room by the staff, and Li Rong held the meeting again.
The main content of the meeting is that, considering the fatigue of the Ark train, the afternoon's 'ice-breaking' activity has been temporarily canceled and will be adjusted to tomorrow, and the evening meeting will continue as usual.
In other words, they can now disband.
Yang Xiaotao originally planned to go home and come back in the evening, mainly to try the master's craftsmanship.
But Ran Qiuye and the others wanted to practice some more, so Yang Xiaotao had no choice but to continue to act as a flower protector, guarding the door and reading.
…
Seventh Machinery Department, Office.
Father Ran and Director Li from the logistics department listened to the news on the radio, with a little excitement on their faces.
"Lao Ran, listen, the plane has landed. How long should we wait?"
"We can't wait forever!"
Li Chengjun, the logistics director at the door, held his cigarette butt, listened to the good news on the radio, and asked Ran's father.
Ran's father sat on a chair in the room. After getting excited, he fell silent.
He stared at the big teapot in front of him, as if the red lines on it were full of mystery and needed careful study.
Seeing that Ran's father didn't speak, Director Li spoke again.
"Lao Ran, I'm talking to you!"
Now Ran's father made a move. He picked up the teapot with both hands and took a sip. The water was a little cold, so he put it down again.
"Ok, I know!"
Father Ran replied without raising his head.
Director Li put out his cigarette butt, walked into the room, and closed the door.
"No, Lao Ran, you're not in a hurry at all? Don't you want to do it quickly?"
"Urgent? What's the use of being anxious!"
Ran's father leaned on the chair and said, "Lao Li, we can't rush our affairs! I can't rush!"
"Now, we can only wait, wait for all departments to be foolproof, and wait for the detection data to be highly accurate!"
"Only in this way can we do it, and only then can we dare to do it!"
Director Li listened and was silent for a long time. Then he pulled up the cold vat and said, "I heard that the army also made a request?"
"Um!"
Father Ran rubbed his brow, "Yeah!"
"They proposed that in the future, actual combat cannot all be run on cement roads. The actual terrain, transportation conditions, weight, speed, etc. must be considered..."
"So there needs to be testing in this regard."
As Father Ran said, Director Li felt a little dizzy!
Thinking about the domestic road conditions and the supporting truck transportation situation, he felt unsure.
Is it so difficult to go from laboratory to field installation?
As if he could see Director Li's worry, Ran's father spoke again.
"The other party's considerations are well-founded. We can't hand over things with hidden dangers, otherwise a disaster will occur and it will be over!"
Director Li nodded, "So where is the process now?"
Ran's father picked up the thermos bottle and poured some water. "Now, all the tests are almost done. The only thing we need is to get in the car."
"boarding?"
"right."
"Nowadays, it is difficult for domestic trucks to meet the load capacity requirements. The Huanghe heavy-duty trucks from Quancheng Automobile Factory are only adequate, and they have to be blinded when encountering complex road conditions."
"However, they are developing a heavy-duty truck, and the military is very optimistic about it!"
"Quancheng? Automobile factory?"
Director Li thought of something, then looked at Ran's father with a smile, "Old Ran, I remember that the engine they used came from the machinery factory. Let me see, do you want to go for a walk?"
Father Ran glanced at him and said angrily, "What's the point of me going? You'd better go find Mr. Wang."
He had heard Yang Xiaotao say that the look on his face last time was best described as "stealing a chicken but failing to lose the rice".
But he also knew that his boss couldn't do anything, otherwise the man in front of him wouldn't come to the office every now and then to trouble him.
There is no other way. The alloys produced by the machinery factory are urgently needed for their logistics. These materials are crucial for successful mass production.
Hearing this, Director Li smiled awkwardly. What his boss did last time was widely spread and made people laugh for a while.
Fortunately, the Seventh Machinery Department did not suffer any losses in the end. Although the share of the alloy was obtained, a lot of people were needed to establish the research institute.
No matter how you put it, this is a losing business.
Now, it's best not to mention things about the machine shop in front of the boss, otherwise you might get kicked in the butt.
"I'll go and forget it."
"But Lao Ran, you still have to help with this alloy matter. You know the situation here. If the boss doesn't take action, you are the only one who has the relationship..."
…
"Chief!"
Guangdong Mansion, Office.
The old man was leaning against the window and looking at the pattering rain outside. He felt the pain coming from his knees and kept stroking them with his hands.
It's been a while since I've been here, but it's never been sunny.
Even arthritis has begun to attack. Fortunately, things here will be over tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It will be better to return to Sijiu City!
I was thinking to myself, and looked at the report in front of me. It clearly contained information about air bursts.
He had already known about this experiment, but the specific time needed to be determined by the on-site command based on weather conditions.
I just didn't expect that it would be today.
Secretary Tang stood aside with the telegram he had just received. On the other side, Tong Xiaolong was vigilant about his surroundings and doing his duty.
"Oh, what's the good news again?"
The old man was in a good mood, so he took a rare opportunity to pick up a piece of apple on the table, put it in his mouth and tasted it.
"It's from Chief Chen."
"Old Chen?"
He took the telegram and read it, then shook his head.
"It is necessary for Lao Chen to worry. This matter has caught up!"
Secretary Tang nodded at the side, but did not express any opinion.
"When these people arrived, they slapped people with sticks. People who didn't know it thought we did it on purpose!"
"This is somewhat contrary to our original intention of communication!"
"Old Chen's concern is still necessary!"
The old man was talking to himself, thinking in his mind, and there was silence in the office.
After a long time, a smile appeared in the old man's eyes, "Okay, I'll give you a sweet date for a stick. I have to show our sincerity and appease you."
After saying that, he wrote a few words on the paper and handed it to Secretary Tang, "Send it to Lao Chen! He knows what to do!"
After Secretary Tang nodded and took it, he just glanced at it with a flash of surprise on his face. Instead of leaving in a hurry, he asked carefully, "Chief, do you want to say something to eldest sister?"
The old man had already expected that Secretary Tang would ask, "No need!"
"If I tell her, it will become a private matter. I might nag her when I get back!"
"But what Lao Chen arranged is a task and a business matter. She will definitely comply with it!"
The old man said confidently, and Secretary Tang shook his head, "Sister is not a person who doesn't distinguish between public and private affairs. If she knows that this is what you mean, then in her heart..."
The pride on the old man's face who was so confident just now disappeared instantly.
Based on their understanding, it is very possible to see through it!
"Well, you're right."
The old man got up from his seat and said seriously.
"It's better for me to talk about this matter myself."
After that, he walked to the communications room.
After the old man left, Tong Xiaolong approached Secretary Tang and asked, "What's the matter? The chief is so anxious?"
Secretary Tang smiled and said, "It's my sister's business!"
After saying that, Tong Xiaolong touched his bald head and said, "No wonder the masters say that women are the most terrifying."
"The chief is such a big official, but he is so tightly controlled by his wife, tsk tsk!"
"It's better to be alone."
…
Forty-nine cities.
In the west garden kitchen, the eldest sister mentioned by Secretary Tang was preparing dinner.
Although she was not young, at her insistence, there were no servants in the house, and even considering that she had no position, she cut off the guards and secretaries again and again. The only two people in the house were Secretary Tang when the old man came back.
Just like now, she handles all the housework by herself.
After a while, two simple side dishes came out of the pot. Although not rich, they were exquisite.
Putting the food on the table, the old woman habitually picked up a document and read it while eating.
This is also a habit of hers.
The document is a summary of the current status of domestic education development sent by the following person.
Although he no longer holds a position, he is very concerned about the education of women and children. He has participated in the formulation of policies as a bystander many times and also dealt with some difficult issues.
She is well aware of the education situation across the country.
There is a lack of educational resources, a lack of schools, a lack of teachers, and even a lack of school-age children.
Of course, it is not that there are no children, there is a lack of children going to school.
The cost of education is simply not something that ordinary families can afford. On the contrary, most families prefer to let their children take on household chores.
In addition, there are serious surprises in the region.
Just like in the Forty-Nine Cities, most children in the city can go to school, but in the suburbs of the Forty-Nine Cities, the proportion of those who go to school has plummeted.
Some areas even don't even have a primary school.
In the current domestic economic development situation, the development of education not only requires more investment, but also needs people to promote it.
She has already felt the power of time acting on her, and she knows more clearly that the future revolutionary cause needs more young people to join.
More like-minded young people join.
I put down the information, and the content is the same as before. Every time I read it, I feel worried, but there is nothing I can do about it.
Ring ring ring
The phone next door rang, and after a while, the guard outside the door came in, "Boss, the chief is calling."
The woman stood up from the table and quickly came to the study.
Not long after, the woman hung up the phone and began to pack her clothes and prepare to go out.
After knowing the whole story, she knew that she was the most suitable candidate at the moment.
She has enough reputation but no position, which is the best entry point for her to participate.
With her joining, it can also reflect the importance attached to the exchange delegation, allowing this exchange party to be held smoothly.
