Siheyuan: First-class Merit at the Start

The steel rolling mill only works half a day today and has a holiday in the afternoon. The factory's cultural performance will also be held in the afternoon.

Whether the workers and their families go or not is entirely voluntary.

However, in this age of lack of entertainment, except for those who have something to do, generally everyone will go. After all, it is because life is too boring.

It’s okay if you have a wife. When you are bored at home, you can close the door and play poker with your wife for entertainment.

Those who don’t have wives are miserable. They can only play poker with their left and right hands.

Now that we have such fun, we certainly can’t miss it.

People who wanted to have fun had already brought their melon seed stools to the open square of the steel mill and reserved seats.

There's no way around it, these are just experiences I gained from watching open-air movies.

If you are nearby, you can see the whole thing, but if you are far away, you will just be alone.

There were no big screens in this era, so if you wanted to see something fun, you had to rely on your own two legs.

After all, today, it is not just the workers of the steel mill and their families who will come to watch the performance. There will also be residents living nearby and students from the city who are focused on watching the fun.

Li Polu sat backstage doing nothing, watching the workers making preparations before the performance.

But there really wasn't much to see, after all it was just a performance for the steel mill's own amusement.

At least in terms of appearance, there is definitely no advantage.

Outside, Director Yang was sweating profusely due to nervousness.

"Mr. Wang, why are you here?" Director Yang looked a little shocked.

They were just a small factory event, but they even invited the leaders of the Ministry of Industry. And although the other person had his hat brim pulled down and was wearing sunglasses, his appearance could not be seen clearly. But he must be no ordinary person to be able to walk side by side with Wang Si.

Wang He smiled and said, "Xiao Yang, don't be so nervous. I just happened to be free today and heard that you guys were holding an event, so I came to take a look with my old comrades. Are you not welcome?"

"Welcome, of course you are welcome. Leader, please follow me. I will take you to your location."

Good man, what are you talking about? You are the boss of the Industry Department, how dare I not welcome you?

The leadership position was simply separated from the ordinary workers' position, and there was some distance between them and the workers' viewing area. Security personnel were also assigned to provide protection.

The workers sitting in the front row could not see clearly which leaders were sitting in this area unless they looked carefully.

When Director Yang, Wang He, and Chen Qiu's family of three walked to the front row of the audience, Deputy Director Li, who was originally wearing a feather fan and a long scarf and chatting and laughing with the leaders of other invited brother factories, suddenly stood up nervously.

"Hello, leader."

At this time, some factory leaders who had met Wang He also stood up to greet him. Those who had not met him saw that their leaders had stood up. Naturally, they did not dare to continue sitting, and stood up to greet him.

"You're all welcome. Please take a seat. Today we're not going to work, we're just going to watch a show and relax. Don't be nervous."

Wang He smiled and said a few words, then sat down under the guidance of Director Yang.

He naturally sat in the center seat of Director Yang, while Chen Qiu followed Wang He and sat next to him.

Everyone present was naturally a discerning person. Although they did not know Chen Qiu, seeing that he came with the senior leaders of the Industry Department, they naturally would not commit the kind of bloody plot of scolding Chen Qiu.

Zhang Xiao and Chen Xi declined Director Yang's repeated invitations and sat down in the second row.

After Wang He and others sat down, Li Huaide quietly pulled Director Yang.

"Old Yang, why is Wang Bu here? And the other one seems to be the leader of the Foreign Affairs Department."

Director Yang was surprised again. Wang He hadn't introduced Chen Qiu just now, so he naturally didn't know him. He just felt that he looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Then, Director Yang seemed to have thought of something, and first signaled all the security guards on the scene to surround Wang He and Chen Qiu. Then he said a few words to Li Huaide and turned away.

"Lao Li, I'm going to bring all the security personnel from the factory here. You stay here and keep an eye on them for now."

Li Huaide also hurriedly agreed. Now was not the time for him to fight for power with Director Yang.

If something unexpected happened to the two big guys from the Industry Department and the Foreign Affairs Department during the art performance of their factory, their factory would be famous.

Neither he nor Director Yang will be able to escape.

"Old Li, I didn't expect that you actually paid off Wang Si. This is such a big surprise. Moreover, the other one seems to be..." A group of leaders from the brother factories pulled Li Huaide aside and whispered in a low voice.

At this time, Li Huaide's smile was uglier than his cry, and he interrupted hurriedly, "Stop talking, we don't know why Wang Si came. Don't guess the identity of the other person.

In short, even if we all die today, we must protect the safety of the two leaders.

Director Yang has gone to the security department to call for help. Please stand around and block the way."

Everyone nodded quickly, and then they didn't bother to chat anymore, and immediately dispersed, surrounding Wang He and Chen Qiu.

Wang He saw everyone's actions and immediately said with a smile: "Everyone, don't be so serious. What can go wrong here?"

No one spoke, and they all surrounded the two with resolute looks.

There is no way, the city has not been that safe in recent years. The remaining members of the Baldy are hiding underground.

If they had known that there were two such leaders in a place with such weak security, they would have definitely taken action regardless of the consequences.

It has to be said that managers of this era may have their own ideas in their positions and some selfish desires of their own.

They may be obsessed with the struggle for power, or determined to give a home to homeless women around the world.

But at least during this period, they were able to clearly distinguish between right and wrong.

At least today, they knew clearly that even if they were shot and fell down, they could not let these two suffer any harm.

This tense atmosphere was not relieved until Director Yang brought all the security personnel over.

Soon, the art performance began, and the audience gradually quieted down.

In this era, the stage design was extremely sloppy. There was a large stage in the middle, and then a red curtain was hung in front and on both sides of the stage.

The pretty host from the publicity department's studio came to the front, and a young man from the publicity department came out in a formal dress, but the formal dress was just a work uniform.

"A red star will always move forward and serve as a screw of revolution..."

"The seasons change, the seasons change. Looking back in amazement, we have walked through this together..."

“As the Spring Festival is approaching, we gather here to review the past and look forward to the future…”

"For this, our factory cadres would like to express our sincere gratitude to the hard-working workers. It is your selfless dedication and hard-working spirit..."

"Hand in hand, shoulder to shoulder, we move forward with great enthusiasm. Now the art performance officially begins."
