Chapter 3262 Is this a train platform?
A car was parked on the side of the road in front of the auditorium.
At the entrance, an old man wearing a thick coat stood there, his long, straight shadow cast by his deep, resonant voice, while his gaze swept around.
At this moment, the entire Department of Nine was brightly lit, especially the research institute directly opposite the Great Hall, where lights were on in each department and the faint sound of machines could be heard.
The old man seemed to be seeing something new, coughing softly as he looked at everything in front of him.
"Commander!"
The guards around him whispered something, and the old man came back to his senses, then looked towards the entrance of the Great Hall.
Old Chen walked out in front of them, followed by Yang Xiaotao.
"Why did you come out in such cold weather?"
Old Chen quickly stepped forward and spoke, showing no awkwardness despite the difference in their status.
Yang Xiaotao followed behind, watching the old man. Compared to when they last met at the hospital, the old man's complexion was sallow, and his cheeks were sunken with little flesh.
Only his thick eyebrows remained unchanged, but his once sharp eyes now held a gentler look.
"Stay still and you'll rust."
"Come out and see!"
The old man spoke softly, unhurriedly.
Old Chen said calmly, "It's good to take a look; it's not good to keep it bottled up."
The old man nodded, then looked at Yang Xiaotao.
"Commander."
Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and spoke softly. The old man nodded. "We last met at the hospital, right? How is your youngest son?"
Yang Xiaotao smiled and said, "Commander, you still remember me."
"That kid is always yelling that he's hungry, but he's probably eaten."
The old man laughed when he heard this, "That half-grown boy is going to eat his father out of house and home."
"Being able to eat is a blessing; being able to eat your fill is good enough!"
Yang Xiaotao smiled again, and then Liang Zuoxin stepped forward excitedly.
"Hello, sir!"
Liang Zuoxin bowed respectfully. The old man looked at Liang Zuoxin carefully, then sighed and said, "You are better than Daya."
Liang Zuoxin's eyes reddened upon hearing this, and he shook his head, saying, "I... I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough."
The old man patted his shoulder without saying anything more.
"Commander, let's go inside and talk."
It was a bit windy that night, so Yang Xiaotao quickly extended an invitation.
The old man nodded to Mr. Chen again, and then they walked together toward the Great Hall of the People.
When everyone reappeared, the crowd first looked at the old man being protected by Old Chen and Yang Xiaotao, and then those who recognized him immediately cheered.
Instantly, everyone in the hall stood up, and applause rang out continuously.
Only Liu Lixue in the crowd pouted, full of resentment.
"Sir, would you like something to eat?"
Yang Xiaotao sat down next to the old man and asked, but the old man shook his head and said, "It's alright."
"The show is about to begin."
Yang Youning walked over from the side, handed a piece of paper to Yang Xiaotao, and said something.
Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and then nodded, "Just do it this way."
Yang Youning left quickly, and Yang Xiaotao turned to look at the old man again, "Sir, there is an awards ceremony at the gala. Would you be willing to go on stage to present an award?"
The old man listened in silence for a moment, then looked at Old Chen beside him.
Old Chen smiled and said, "I'm going up too, so I can meet the audience from all over the country."
The old man smiled upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go then."
Yang Xiaotao nodded immediately upon hearing this, and then made a gesture of affirmation towards Yang Youning in the distance.
As time goes by, all departments are ready, and the first live broadcast of the performance is getting closer and closer.
There was a mix of anticipation and tension in the room.
"arrive!"
Yang Xiaotao glanced down at the time, then spoke softly.
The old man chuckled and said, "Don't worry, everyone will like it."
Old Chen nodded and smiled, "That's right, after all, this is the first time."
Yang Xiaotao smiled and then saw four hosts in formal attire walk onto the stage, and the cameras below the stage began to work.
"Fellow comrades, dear audience members"
Good evening, everyone.
"This is the scene of the Fifth Spring Festival Performance Commendation Ceremony of the Ninth Ministry of Machine Building Industry."
"Over the past two years, under the leadership of Chief Designer Yang Xiaotao, with the care of our leaders, and through the joint efforts of our comrades, our Ninth Department has achieved remarkable results."
"Here, let's give a warm round of applause to Chief Designer Yang Xiaotao as he comes to the stage to announce the start of the commendation ceremony."
Yang Xiaotao stood up and shook hands with the old man and Chen Lao one by one, then quickly walked onto the stage.
Four hosts stood to the side, and Xiao Suizi handed the microphone to Yang Xiaotao.
With a solemn expression, Yang Xiaotao addressed the crowd and then said earnestly, "Distinguished leaders and comrades, good evening."
"Here, I would like to extend my early New Year greetings to all comrades and friends across the country."
"I wish everyone a happy life and a blissful family in the new year, and that you will strive forward bravely on the road of revolution and construction."
The applause was enthusiastic and fierce.
"In the past two years, our Ninth Department has achieved some results, which is the pride of all of us in the Ninth Department and the result of the joint efforts of all our comrades."
"Here, I would like to express my gratitude to all the workers of Department 9 and to the brother units of Department 9."
"Thank you all for your hard work and selfless dedication."
"All the honors achieved by the nine departments are thanks to everyone's efforts."
Applause erupted again.
"Finally, I would like to say that we are commending outstanding individuals here not to reminisce about past honors, but to encourage future development. I hope that our comrades will continue their efforts and create even greater glories."
"Now, I hereby announce that the Spring Festival Performance Awards Ceremony is officially open."
As Yang Xiaotao stepped off the stage, a group of children rushed onto the stage, and then their voices rang out.
"I'm sending you a little heart, and a flower."
The sounds were clear and crisp, and the children's unique voices resonated throughout the stage through the microphone.
At the same time, it also appeared on television throughout the country.
Siheyuan.
In front of the Yang family's large television, the old man and the old Taoist priest were drinking tea and watching TV together. The room was full of people. Ran Qiuye placed melon seeds in front of everyone, and everyone was chatting and laughing.
"Our General Manager Yang speaks so well; every word he says speaks to our hearts."
The old Taoist priest chuckled, and Old Ye beside him nodded, "What the people want to hear is the truth, not empty words." "If it's something sincere, a sentence or two is enough."
Grandpa was smiling beside him, while Miaomiao and Duanwu sat on small stools, their eyes filled with envy.
Dudu, with candy in her mouth, pointed at the TV and said, "Second sister, third sister."
But then they saw Yueyue and Rongrong standing in front of the stage and starting their performance.
Grandpa leaned forward, his face beaming as he watched TV.
Ludong, Caozhou County Primary School.
A group of teachers sat together in front of the television.
The principal and the director sat in the front row. The small television screen couldn't accommodate many eyes, so people in the back rows could only hear the sound and see a blurry picture.
Even so, it still stirred everyone's emotions.
"Mr. Yang looks so young."
A teacher with a ponytail looked at Yang Xiaotao, who was giving the opening remarks, and sighed. The young man next to her, Li Lei, immediately explained, "President Yang should be thirty-five years old this year, one year older than me."
After he finished speaking, the head of the teaching department next to him glanced at him and said, "He is a year older than you, but what General Manager Yang has done is far more impressive than yours. Why are you comparing yourself to him? How can you compare?"
Li Lei chuckled sullenly. How many Yang Xiaotaos are there in the whole country?
There is only one, and it is unique.
There's no comparison to someone like that.
Li Lei's gaze, however, was fixed on the television screen. "Look, the awards ceremony is about to begin."
"Listen to this, what do you think the prizes for Department Nine are?"
Everyone quickly shifted their attention to the images appearing on the television.
As host Zhang Liang finished speaking, Li Hongfeng walked onto the stage, opened the list of award winners, and began to read, "In the past two years, a large number of outstanding workers have emerged."
"They work diligently in their respective fields, fulfilling the tasks assigned by their superiors, overcoming difficulties, and striving hard."
"Now, I will announce the recipients of the Outstanding Individual Award."
"They are Comrade Shen Rong, Comrade Wang Can, Comrade Lu Tao, and Comrade Wu Zhe."
After Li Hongfeng finished reading, ten outstanding individuals took to the stage.
Then Yang Youning, Xu Yuanshan, Wang Guodong and Chen Gong went on stage to present certificates and prizes.
In front of the television, everyone looked on with envy at the ten people's hands full of prizes.
"Bicycles, sewing machines, and rice cookers are all great things."
Li Lei's face was practically pressed against the screen, his eyes filled with envy.
"Envy is useless!"
The head of the teaching department spoke again, then pointed to the people above and said, "I don't know about the others, but I remember this Shen Rong was in the newspaper. He's an eighth-level master fitter, and he makes machine tools. He's very capable."
"That woman, she looks like the hospital director."
The principal explained from the side, "When I went to Beijing last year to seek medical treatment, I saw a doctor at the Ninth People's Hospital. I have a deep impression of this person."
Everyone nodded again, and then, thinking of the medicines manufactured by the Ninth Division, they all felt that the award was well-deserved.
"I'm going to perform again, a solo dance for youth."
As soon as Li Lei finished speaking, someone suddenly stood up from the back of the crowd and quickly walked to the television.
Everyone was displeased upon seeing this, but the newcomer simply stared wide-eyed at the television.
Li Lei quickly asked, "Teacher He, is this your daughter's program?"
Everyone immediately perked up their ears, and then they saw He Wenxu point at the girl dancing at the very front of the TV screen, his eyes blurry, and loudly laugh, "Her, Xiaoping, is my daughter."
“My daughter, she really danced.”
She started crying as she spoke.
The principal immediately pulled He Wenxu up and sat him down beside him. "Comrade He Wenxu, this is a happy occasion, you mustn't cry."
The director chimed in, "That's right, your daughter is really enjoying herself in the Ninth Department. You, as her father, should be happy."
"Yes, yes, I'm happy, I'm happy."
He Wenxu nodded with a smile, but his eyes never left the television.
Northwest, Hongxing Machinery Factory.
Mr. He and Mr. Zhu sat in the conference room watching TV, surrounded by their families and children, creating a lively atmosphere.
The meeting room fell silent when the television came on.
Then, one program after another began, and one award after another was presented.
First came the group award, which was presented by Mr. Xia and Ms. Li Rong to representatives of 'Hongxing Pharmaceutical Factory' and 'Hongxing Machine Tool Factory'.
Then came the Science and Technology Progress Award, which Yang Xiaotao and Chen Lao presented to the 'Aircraft Research Institute' and the 'Satellite Research Institute'.
"This show is great!"
As Mr. Zhu spoke, holding his teacup, President He nodded in agreement.
As the event drew to a close, everyone's spirits soared.
"Yes, this first live performance was a pretty good result."
Mr. He nodded with a smile, while the children beside him were still discussing the famous scenes that had appeared on TV.
The funny skits, in particular, made the children very happy.
Just as everyone was waiting to prepare dumplings to celebrate the New Year, Yang Xiaotao's voice came from the television, "Best Outstanding Group Award of the Year."
"They've been recognized as an outstanding team, so do you think we're eligible?"
Mr. He puffed on his cigarette, quite curious, but Old Master Zhu just chuckled and said, "How could that be? It's already quite impressive that we've been able to build this place."
I said.
Before Old Zhu could say anything more, he noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar person appearing on the television.
For a moment, Mr. He was also stunned, holding his pipe, at a loss for what to do.
He only snapped out of his daze when the enthusiastic applause came from the television, and then remained silent as he looked at the person presenting the award to Lu Tao.
"I'm getting old."
"Yeah, I'm not feeling well."
"That's a bit strange."
"What's strange?"
"Why did he go?"
Who knows!
The two spoke with extremely solemn expressions.
It was only after a long while, when the song "Unforgettable Tonight" played on the television, that the two of them came back to their senses.
"Is it possible that he's supporting the Ninth Department?"
When President He suddenly spoke, Old Master Zhu was stunned.
In that instant, Elder Zhu thought of the people beneath that man; if those people saw this scene, what would happen to the Nine Divisions?
Who would dare to have any wicked thoughts?
"It's true, no doubt about it."
Mr. He laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Let's go, let's go eat dumplings."
Old Zhu shook his head and smiled, "Yes, let's go eat dumplings."
