Scholars in the courtyard

"Next, I would like to invite Comrade Yang Xiaotao to come to the stage to announce and award the Advanced Group Award."

As Li Jun's voice came out on the stage, there was a burst of applause from the surroundings.

Yang Xiaotao nodded to the old man beside him, "Chief, I'll go first."

"Go ahead, I also want to see who will receive this important award."

Every time when an award was given out before, Yang Xiaotao would explain to the elderly the reasons why they won the award and the contributions they made.

The old man listened with great interest, because these contributions represent fresh blood and the progress of the revolution.

Yang Xiaotao tidied up his appearance and then stepped onto the stage.

Everyone's eyes gathered again, looking at the confident young man on the stage. Everyone had the illusion that the person who went up looked more like the person receiving the award.

Envy.

Lou Xiao'e, Liu Lixue and other female emcees stood aside, watching Yang Xiaotao walk to the center of the stage step by step. He was wearing a decent tunic suit and his angular face was even more heart-warming when viewed from the side.

"Xiao'e, I'm a little moved."

Liu Lixue leaned on Lou Xiao'e's shoulder and realized for the first time that it would be nice to be a 'woman'.

"Bah, you have a master, don't think blindly."

Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, but her eyes never left the figure on the stage.

"Why didn't I find him so handsome before? It must be a matter of angle."

After the words fell, Liu Lixue walked onto the stage holding a pair of banners and stood on the side of Yang Xiaotao.

Lou Xiao'e looked at it and snorted coldly, then walked up with a pair of banners in her hands as well.

Standing on the stage, Yang Xiaotao took the list sent by Li Jun, held it in his hand, and then raised it in the air, "Comrades, do you want to know what is written in it?"

"think!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and several competitive teams stretched their necks to find out.

Unfortunately, it was a bit far away from the stage and people couldn't see clearly.

"I think so, then I'll just tell you."

Everyone immediately became quiet when they heard it, for fear of missing it.

Ahem

Yang Xiaotao cleared his throat, then glanced at the words above.

Then, there is peace.

Everyone in the audience suddenly became nervous when they saw this scene.

Some people are even thinking, what does Mr. Yang mean by not speaking?

Was it a mistake?

Or is it that the results of the selection are not satisfactory to him?

For a moment, everyone was thinking a lot, but they all wanted to hear the result.

"uh-huh!"

"First of all, I would like to thank the comrades in the machinery factory for their efforts during this year, and thank all colleagues for helping each other."

Shh.

Just when everyone thought that Yang Xiaotao really announced the results directly, Yang Xiaotao gave an impromptu speech.

This is different from what I just said.

Everyone was disappointed and started to make a fuss.

"Don't make trouble, this is a process, you have to go through it, do you understand?"

"There are still programs waiting for you later."

Yang Xiaotao spoke quickly when he heard the boos, and everyone burst into laughter again.

However, the atmosphere at the scene became more relaxed.

"Mr. Yang, why don't you sing a song."

Someone suddenly shouted in the audience, and Yang Xiaotao quickly looked around, isn't it Zhou Peng or who is it?

But many people started to cheer, even the old man in the front row started laughing.

“That’s not okay, that’s not part of the process.”

Everyone was disappointed.

"Okay, I announce that the winner of the advanced collective this time is the 'Red Star.'"

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"Red Star Steel Plant and United Star Research Institute!"

OK~

As soon as the voice fell, a group of people immediately jumped out of the venue. They stood up from their seats and clapped to each other in celebration.

At this time, when the people around him heard this result, they were not surprised.

Guan Zhiyong from the steel factory was even more proud. Zhou Shenghong beside him kept praising him, but his heart was very sour.

The same is true for Sun Guo from the first branch.

They are all old people, but they are overtaken by a latecomer like the Steel Factory. They really cannot afford to disgrace that person.

Along with Guan Zhiyong and An Zhongsheng came on stage.

"Mr. Yang, thank you."

Guan Zhiyong held Yang Xiaotao's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Comrades deserve it for their hard work. Perform well and keep up the good work."

"Yes, I promise not to embarrass you."

After Guan Zhiyong finished speaking, An Zhongsheng also accepted the honor on behalf of United Star Research Institute.

"Good job."

"Yes, do it well."

Taking the banner from Yang Xiaotao, each of them had an unstoppable smile on their face.

As the awards were over, Yang Xiaotao stepped down and the stage was handed over to the program team again.

Soon, the program from the Machinery Factory Main Plant began to perform, and the performance was now coming to an end.

As for the final award, the ‘Outstanding Group of the Year’ will be announced soon.

Under the stage, Yang Xiaotao returned to his seat and sat down next to the old man.

The two watched the program on the stage and whispered from time to time.

Next to the two of them were Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan. Most of their attention was focused on the old man, so they just watched many programs briefly.

Yang Xiaotao's conversation with the old man became their biggest concern.

But today the old man was obviously a little worried, speaking briefly and even a little absent-mindedly.

"Have you started designing your aircraft?"

The old man asked, and Yang Xiaotao shook his head, "Not yet, the staff is not in place yet, and it is still being adjusted."

"Any ideas?"

"The idea is to design a high-speed, high-altitude aircraft first, and then we'll talk about it later."

The old man nodded after hearing this, "Don't be hasty, airplanes are more about haste than speed."

"I understand, but everyone is very enthusiastic."

Just as the show continued on the stage, Wang Hao walked out from the side and greeted Liang Zuoxin.

After Yang Xiaotao saw Wang Hao, he subconsciously looked at his watch, thinking that there should be a result.

Sure enough, after Wang Hao said a few words, he saw Liang Zuoxin getting up and walking out.

The old man also saw it and clenched his fists subconsciously.

Yang Xiaotao's eyes were sharp, and then he put his hand on the back of the old man's hand, "Don't worry, I have made all arrangements. Our Red Star Special Forces will be responsible for escorting this time. They are the best team, so there will be no problem."

"Chief Wang is also well prepared. As long as you get on the train, there will be no problems along the way."

The old man just nodded, but did not look back.

Both of them looked at the direction Liang Zuoxin left, and then waited for the other party to appear again.

Not long after, Liang Zuoxin came back and came directly to Yang Xiaotao.

"We've already gotten in the car and set off, everything is normal, no problem!"

After Liang Zuoxin finished speaking, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when Yang Xiaotao looked at Liang Zuoxin, he was obviously a little unnatural, and he probably had something to hide.

But at this time, it’s not appropriate to say more.

"Now we invite our beloved chief to come to the stage to present the Red Star Machinery Factory's 1966 Best Outstanding Group Award. Everyone warmly welcomes it."

As Li Jun's voice fell, the people around him immediately burst into applause.

After hearing this, the old man stood up slowly under the eyes of everyone.

Maybe it's because he's had a heart ailment, or maybe he has more energy in his body, but the old man looks in high spirits at this moment, with a sincere smile on his face.

He turned around and waved to everyone, then put a hand on his chest and walked onto the stage with firm steps.

At this moment, Yang Xiaotao stood up and applauded warmly.

Liu Huaimin and Yang Youning also stood up, and more people stood up. The applause was like an ocean, with each wave getting louder than the other.

"Chief, please give everyone a few words."

On the stage, Li Jun shook hands with the old man excitedly. He decided not to wash his hands for the next three days, no, five days.

The old man smiled and nodded. He didn't look at the list of winners after receiving it, but scanned the people around him.

"Good morning, comrades."

bang bang bang bang

The applause that had just stopped started again.

"I am very happy to be able to come to the Machinery Factory to witness this performance. I am happy for the country to see the contributions made by comrades on all fronts."

"It is because of your hard work that we can continue to move forward."

"I hope that more gay people will join this ranks in the future."

"I hope that more comrades will be honored in the future."

bang bang bang bang

"Oh my god, the chief has come to speak. Lao Wang, are you happy or excited?"

"Lao Zhu, go ahead and don't disturb me while I listen to the chief's words."

"Wang Kun, I have decided that next year we will take the lead and stand with the leader."

"Okay, next year, next year."

"My dear, director, has the head of our Shengjing Aircraft Factory been here?"

"How did I know? If I knew, I would still need you to tell me."

"Uh, director, should we think about it, maybe a non-staff one would be fine."

"Now I announce that the winner of the 1966 Red Star Machinery Factory's outstanding team is."

At this moment, the needle could be heard in the venue.

"Red Star Machinery Factory, R\u0026D Department."

"Congratulations."

bang bang bang

After the old man finished speaking, he was the first to applaud.

He understands the R\u0026D Department of Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Since the days of rolling steel mills, the R\u0026D department at that time has done many things.

In recent years, many contributions have been made.

Especially the aircraft engine that was completed last year.

It is said that this engine is better than the ones currently used by the alliance.

If the final result hadn't come out yet, he would have had to go to the Great Hall if he wanted to receive him.

However, this award is well deserved for them.

Well deserved.

This is also the sentiment of most people present.

"Haha, let me tell you, we must be the finale."

Liu Daming hugged Shen Rong, his eldest disciple, with a smile on his face.

Chen Chonghan on the side was nagging, "A rice cooker or a pressure cooker? The ladies at home will be very happy right now. If not, we will have to get another one next year."

Hou Baobao heard what Chen Chonghan said from the sidelines, and he also wanted to cure teenage madness, but unfortunately his body did not support it.

"Let's go, let's get on stage."

Zhou Hong couldn't wait to move forward, and Liu Daming quickly followed behind him.

Yang Xiaotao in the front row was hesitating whether to go up. After all, he was the head of the R\u0026D department.

Unfortunately, Xu Yuanshan and Liu Huaimin next to him looked at him with ill intentions, so he could only stand below.

Seeing this, Yang Youning laughed and said, "If you go up there, we can't catch it, so we'll suffer a lot."

Yang Xiaotao rolled his eyes, "You guys are really good."

While he was talking, twenty or thirty people cheering and cheering rushed onto the stage, and even people from the logistics team ran up.

The one at the front is not Lou Xiao'e.

This guy is also getting the benefit of the doubt.

Everyone on the stage shook hands with the old man one by one and introduced themselves from time to time. The scene was lively.

When the old man handed the banner to Zhang Guanyu, the whole auditorium burst into enthusiastic voices.

At this time, Liu Lixue came to the stage quickly, and an unforgettable tonight sounded instantly.

With the first Spring Festival performance of the Red Star Machinery Factory, it slowly ended with Liu Lixue's singing.

Those who received awards were naturally very happy. Those who participated in the program also received a New Year's gift. Even those who did not receive awards secretly vowed in their hearts that they would become a member of the stage next year.

Moreover, being able to participate in this performance is a kind of identity recognition.

Of course, the only regret is that Yang Xiaotao feels that he is also the leader of several departments, but he has not received any awards. Except for going on stage to present awards, he has nothing to do at other times.

Of course, there is also a regret that the song at the end.

It is a bit out of place to sing it during the day.

After the performance, Yang Xiaotao invited the old man to have a meal at the machinery factory, but the old man refused.

Then Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin sent the old man away. Seeing the old man get on the car and leave, everyone hurried to the cafeteria.

The lunch gathering today is also part of the performance.
