Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

"You are a man of integrity. Even if we tell you, you will definitely not let us go."

Lin Jinghui hurriedly said, "No, it's not about loyalty. I'm not stopping you from leaving. Loyalty means respecting your choice. If you want to leave, go ahead. But one thing is for sure, anyone who leaves will be permanently blacklisted. Don't think you can contact me or return to the team after this West Tianshan project is over.

I tell you, it will never happen."

"This..." The dozen or so workers looked at each other in confusion.

They had indeed made this plan. Now that Lin Jinghui had revealed their thoughts, their faces immediately turned ugly. "Little Lin, we have been following you for four or five years, right? We have never been afraid of anything, but didn't you see what happened yesterday..."

"Yeah, if you force us to stay here, wouldn't you feel bad if something happened to us?"

"Even if we can't cooperate this time, we can still continue to cooperate in the future. We are all laborers, and we go wherever there is money. In fact, we are not short of work without you. It's just that we have been with you for a long time, and you are loyal, so we..."

Hearing the word "loyalty", Lin Jinghui immediately became furious and slapped the man on the head. Not satisfied with his anger, he pushed his head hard and said, "You are not qualified to talk about loyalty. I, Xiao Lin, only talk about loyalty to people who are also loyal. If you want to leave, leave quickly and don't embarrass me here.

I, Xiaolin, keep my word. If you can't share the hardships with me this time, you will never be able to return to the team. I, Xiaolin, don't care about you! "

Lin Jinghui's words were so decisive that the others became hesitant and didn't dare to argue anymore. After a while, one of them quietly asked the others, "Are we really leaving?"

"Or else?"

"I suddenly don't want to leave. It's hard to find engineering work these days. If I go to other engineering teams, they won't be as good as here with Xiao Lintou. Although the environment is better, I'm not sure I can do the job well."

"Actually, it's true. Accidents can happen at other construction sites too..."

"It all depends on luck."

One of them asked again, "I want to leave, but I have to be paid one month's salary."

Lin Jinghui quickly wrote down the man's name in his notebook and said, "I'll apply for your salary and put it on your previous salary card."

"Will it be paid according to the number?" the man asked stubbornly.

"You wanted to leave, and you should leave at any cost, because your life is much more valuable than this money. As for how much salary you can apply for, it depends on the situation. But we are not some random construction team that travels from village to village. We work for the country, and we will not deduct your wages."

The man seemed to finally feel relieved, but he was the only one who still insisted on leaving. Lin Jinghui asked the others, "Is there anyone else who wants to leave? Tell me your name."

The others looked at each other and finally shook their heads. "Boss Lin, we were just impulsive. We don't want to leave now."

Lin Jinghui yelled, "Go back and arrange your shifts."

The others picked up their bags and returned to the camp dejectedly. The one who insisted on leaving sneered, "What a bunch of cowards."

Lin Jinghui no longer had the desire to say another word to this person, so he turned around and left.

Originally, there were more than a dozen people who wanted to leave, but now after Lin Jinghui's "handling" of them, only one is left. This is already the best result, and this result has temporarily stabilized the morale of the troops.

Wu Yongjie suddenly realized that the profound meaning of what Ling Fengxi had asked them to do every week was that they really needed to learn the Five Lectures, Four Beauties and Three Loves.

In special circumstances, it is necessary to restrain workers, inspire their pride, stimulate their cohesion, and guide positive energy simultaneously.

That night, under Wu Yongjie's personal organization, the first workers' meeting of the West Tianshan project was finally held. It was not held in the tent, but in the open space of the camp. Everyone sat on the open space wrapped in quilts. Wu Yongjie moved a stone over, stood on the stone, and delivered an impassioned speech facing the wind.

He said loudly, "A single chopstick is easy to break, but ten chopsticks can hold together! Facing the special geographical environment and engineering projects, we should have the determination to overcome ourselves and nature. We are good men of the 21st century. What we do is for the country, the party, and the people. We must also contribute to China's modernization drive.

The money we earn is not just money we have now. What we do will contribute to China's development in the future. If China develops well, each of us will be able to live well, including our families..."

Ling Fengxi and Fang Ya were sitting in a row, listening to his speech. At this moment, Ling Fengxi suddenly said to Fang Ya, "He usually says that I like to speak in Mandarin."

Fang Ya nodded affirmatively, "You just like to speak in official language."

Ling Fengxi: "But why do I feel that he is better than I said."

Fang Ya said expressionlessly, "Because he is better than his teacher."

Ling Fengxi: "..."

Because everyone was sitting outside and had no time to make milk tea, it happened that Gulinar was there today and brought her favorite Fu brick tea from home. While they were in the meeting, she was like a hardworking little bee, borrowing the big stove in the kitchen to make milk tea for everyone.

Then he carried a big teapot and poured milk tea for everyone.

In the dark night, she looked like a gorgeous elf, and anyone who looked at her was delighted. Of course, she grew up in the mountains and had no rules. Wu Yongjie said, "Opening up the southern and northern Xinjiang is something that must be remembered in history. Each of us is a hero, and the local people will thank us."

Gulinar immediately added, "On behalf of the local people, I salute the great working class. Without you working like industrious ants to build our country, we wouldn't have a good life. It's like, if you didn't come here to work, we wouldn't be able to sell our milk, and we wouldn't be able to sell the dried milk we make. The bustling city, the bigger world, and the more people are all too far away from us. We have so many good things, but we can't take them with us!"

Because she had been to school, her Chinese was standard, but still with a strong Kazakh accent. So even though she spoke very seriously, she made everyone laugh uncontrollably.

In fact, the mobilization meeting is just like this. It is nothing more than letting everyone know that the construction of the West Tianshan Tunnel is a serious matter, and it is also a matter of concern to everyone and a matter of great significance.

It's just to tell everyone not to back down.

Seeing so many workers sitting on the ground and listening to training for the construction of their hometown, and remembering that this construction team had encountered a lot of problems recently, Gulinar's eyes turned red.

She simply put the teapot down, found Ye Minglang's position, and threw herself into his arms, "You are so great, I am so moved, I am so moved, I am about to cry..."

She really burst into tears.
