Dramatic changes in the movies and TV shows

Chapter 1417 Qin Xuemei

"So I agreed, and hey, I didn't expect that the community would even report on it!"

"Just a couple of days ago, it was even in the newspaper. The villagers in Chengde gave the girls a warm send-off when they went to the dam!"

Yu Zheng answered his own question: "What does this show? It shows the deep bond between the fish and the water!"

"So next, please welcome Comrade Zhang Manling, the representative of the six women who went to the dam, to the stage to speak!"

"Great, great, great!" Upon hearing this, everyone applauded generously.

Zhang Manling, who was sitting in the audience, was wearing a big red flower, a dark blue business outfit, and short hair. She looked quite pretty.

Hearing Yu Zheng call out, he was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. After calming down a bit, he walked towards the stage.

Lin Hao looked at the young employees below and they all showed admiration. However, when Lin Hao looked at the advance team, he seemed to have discovered something different.

After Zhang Manling stood firmly on the stage, Zhao Tianshan kept glancing at her from below.

At this moment, Zhang Manling looked at everyone with great enthusiasm, then greeted them, and then said somewhat excitedly:

"Greetings, leaders! Greetings, comrades! Today, we are honored to have transformed from students into forestry workers. I may not know how to speak, but I can sing to express my determination!"

"On the way to Saihanba today, my female classmates and I changed the song 'Our Workers Have Strength' to 'Forestry Workers Have Strength'!"

"We'll lead the singing, and everyone else sing along!"

"OK!"

"it is good!!!"

Then Zhang Manling started calling for her girlfriends to come up together.

The five girls in the audience were also very excited and went up on stage to stand with Zhang Manling.

They were all high school students, looking quite young, with delicate features and decent looks and figures, reaching a seven or eight out of ten level.

In this harsh environment where there are far more men than women, these six women naturally become treasures, and they will inevitably attract a group of bachelors to pursue them.

"Forestry workers have strength, rise up!"

Forestry workers are powerful.
Busy with work every day
The ups and downs of fate

Like a pulsating heartbeat,

Follow your heart's choice.

I came here
The most beautiful color of youth

It's a burning fire in my heart...!

Then everyone started singing along with Zhang Manling and the others. Only Zhao Tianshan, besides singing, seemed to be bewitched, staring intently at Zhang Manling with his eyes fixed on her.

Even after the conference ended, Zhao Tianshan's mind was still filled with Zhang Manling's smiling face as she sang, and he stood there motionless, grinning foolishly.

Lin Hao also came down. Looking at our tough yet tender Captain Zhao, Lin Hao shook his head, walked to Zhao Tianshan's side, and patted Zhao Tianshan on the shoulder.

"Is the song good?"

"It sounds great!"

"Is the girl pretty?"

"nice!"

"You've fallen for Zhang Manling!"

"like!"

Zhao Tianshan was stunned for a long time, answering whatever Lin Hao asked.

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing Captain Zhao's reply.

"Captain Zhao, we heard everything!"

"You've fallen for Zhang Manling!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhao Tianshan then realized what was happening and, seeing everyone making a fuss, he broke out in a sweat.

No!

"Um~!"

"I was just saying!"

"Oh, if you like this girl, don't be shy!"

"Besides, our Captain Zhao is no slouch, don't you all agree?"

"Yes!"

"Pfft!"

Lin Hao, the instigator of this incident, laughed unkindly.

"Xiao Lin!"

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who raised it. Zhao Tianshan tried to stop Lin Hao.

"Look, he's getting anxious, he's getting anxious!"

Of course, everyone was just joking around and didn't continue the joke, otherwise it would have ruined Zhao Tianshan's chances of finding a partner.

After the staff mobilization meeting, there will be a celebratory banquet in the evening. However, before that, the leadership team and technical staff will all have to meet in the conference room to discuss matters related to spring tree planting.

"This spring is the best season for planting trees. Let's all share our thoughts!"

Yu Zhenglai sat in the main seat, looked at everyone, and said:

"Expert Lin, you are experienced and the deputy head of the technical department, so you go first!"

Lin Hao looked at the map and then said bluntly:
"I think we should get the saplings from the dam area for our first tree planting next spring!"

"We've tried it many times, but the survival rate of the saplings sent up from below the dam is still very low when planted directly!"

"But to achieve a high survival rate, careful planting and care are necessary, which renders mechanized planting meaningless. You all understand what I mean!"

At this moment, Qu He said in a low voice, "But we can't just ignore the seedlings sent from all over the country, can we?"

"Therefore, we will prioritize using the seedlings from the dam area, and the seedlings sent from the lower reaches will be planted later!"

"Moreover, using seedlings with a high survival rate in the Bashang area can give people confidence and is also beneficial for collecting seedling cultivation data!"

"As for seedlings sent from other places, even if they fail, this provides a buffer."

"Therefore, our top priority is to expand the nursery on a large scale this year and then carry out large-scale mechanized sowing next year."

"What do you all think?" Yu Zheng asked, looking at the crowd.

"I agree!" Li Zhong immediately raised his hand in agreement.

“A few days ago when we went up to the dam, a few of us went to check out the nursery that Comrade Lin Hao was in charge of!”

"The earliest seedlings have been growing for two years, and most of them have undergone root pruning or transplanting. They have been cultivated into high-quality seedlings that are short, thick, and have a 'beard' (referring to a thick, bushy appearance), which meet the standards for afforestation!"

Qu He also agreed, saying, "I agree too. We didn't know before, but now that we know seedlings grown under full light have a higher survival rate, we'll definitely prioritize using this method!"

Then the others basically agreed, so Yu Zhenglai said:

"Since everyone agrees, let's proceed according to Xiaolin's suggestion. Xiaolin will be in charge of the technical aspects, and Zhao Tianshan will select the personnel for production. We'll complete the trial planting task and ensure its success!" "Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Finally, Yu Zheng came to conclude the matter, and then everyone went their separate ways.

······
Evening
The celebration for the establishment of the Mechanical Forestry Farm was held in the square in front of the office building.

Dozens of tables were pushed together, with simple food and a bottle of liquor on them—this was specially approved by the bureau, to celebrate the achievements of these young people who had endured hardship in Bashang.

Yu Zhenglai went from table to table toasting guests, and leaders from the Chengde Agricultural Bureau and other relevant departments also came and said many encouraging words.

Qin Xuemei sat opposite Lin Hao, moving her wine glass in her hand, but her eyes kept glancing across at him.

Lin Hao was talking to Zhao Tianshan, a smile on his face, nodding occasionally.

He was dressed neatly today, and his hair had just been cut; he looked very energetic. But that wasn't what Qin Xuemei noticed.

She noticed that Ji Xiurong was sitting next to Lin Hao, pouring him wine and serving him food, her eyes glued to him, as if she wanted to stick her whole body to him.

Shen Mengyin sat on the other side, glancing at Lin Hao from time to time. When she noticed Qin Xuemei's gaze, she would lower her head shyly.

Oh, and there's Tang Qi, who's always been so unremarkable. If you say she doesn't like Lin Hao, she'd eat this whole table.

Qin Xuemei felt that sense of crisis again. Although she had long understood that she was not the only one who liked Lin Hao, she did not expect there to be so many.

Ji Xiurong is open about her intentions, and everyone can see through them. Shen Mengyin, on the other hand, is more secretive. She doesn't say anything, but her eyes follow Lin Hao every time he appears.

Although Tang Qi's reaction wasn't as obvious, the way she looked at Lin Hao was also strange.

We can't wait any longer. We have to take the initiative. Mengyue messed things up last time, so we absolutely can't fail this time.

Lin Hao had drunk quite a bit by now, and Ji Xiurong, who had been frequently interacting with him, was also quite drunk. Meng Yue, who had the lowest alcohol tolerance, seemed to have something on her mind today and was drinking by herself, and was also in a daze.

Qin Xuemei gripped her wine glass tightly, took a deep breath, stood up, and walked towards Lin Hao with the glass in her hand.

"Brother Lin, let me toast you!" Qin Xuemei said, raising her glass with a slightly flushed face.

"Thank you for teaching us English the other day, and also for all that knowledge about seedling cultivation!"

"Xuemei?" Lin Hao looked up, saw her coming, and stood up with a smile, saying:
"Given our relationship, there's no need to be so polite. Why are you joining in the fun?"

Lin Hao clinked glasses with Qin Xuemei, then said with a smile, "Why are you being so polite with me? It's all my duty!"

Qin Xuemei tilted her head back and downed the liquor in one gulp. The spiciness of the liquor made her wince, but she still managed to hold back from coughing.

"Drink slowly, this wine has a strong aftereffect!" Lin Hao said helplessly, "You chugged it down, making it impossible for me not to drink it!"

"It's alright, do as you please!" Qin Xuemei wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth, then looked at Lin Hao.

Lin Hao had no choice but to raise his glass and down the drink in one gulp. Just as he finished, Qin Xuemei spoke again:

"Brother Lin, let me toast you again!" she said, pouring herself another glass and then downing it in one gulp.

Lin Hao looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Something was wrong with this girl today; her murderous intent was practically written all over her face.

Shen Mengyin said sourly from the side, "Xuemei, you're drinking one glass after another, are you trying to get Captain Lin drunk?"

Qin Xuemei ignored her and poured herself another glass. She wasn't a big drinker to begin with, and after three glasses, her face was flushed and her eyes started to glaze over.

"Xuemei, stop drinking!" Lin Hao said, pressing down on her cup. "You'll get drunk if you drink any more!"

"I'm not drunk!" Qin Xuemei looked at him, her eyes shining brightly, and said to Lin Hao with a dazed look, "Captain Lin, I... I..."

Several people around looked over. Lin Hao smiled, took her arm, and then said to Tang Qi and Shen Mengyin:
"Three people have already passed out. Let's take these drunkards back to their dorms first!"

"Okay!" Tang Qi then helped Meng Yue and Shen Mengyin helped Ji Xiurong back to their dormitory.

Lin Hao helped Qin Xuemei walk out. Her steps were a little unsteady, and she would occasionally rub against him. Lin Hao knew very well that she was doing it on purpose.

At this moment, Qin Xuemei's blush deepened, like a red apple, and Lin Hao, supporting her, couldn't help but want to take a bite.

However, he suppressed his excitement, thinking that it wouldn't make a difference to take a short while, and then helped her to the temporary dormitory.

He opened the dormitory door and helped her into the room, but just then...

"Brother Lin!" Qin Xuemei suddenly spoke up.

"Ok?"

"What do you think of me?"

Lin Hao looked down at her. She was looking up, her eyes sparkling, with a hint of alcohol and something else in them.

"Very good!" Lin Hao said, looking at Qin Xuemei's beautiful face. "Smart, capable, talented, and persevering!"

At this point, Lin Hao changed the subject, saying, "Most importantly, she's good-looking too!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuemei felt her heart skip a beat: "Then... then do you like me?"

Lin Hao smiled, but instead of answering directly, he said, "You've had too much to drink."

"I'm not drunk!" Qin Xuemei stopped and hugged Lin Hao's waist to stop him from leaving, while continuing to ask, "Tell me, do you like me?"

Lin Hao looked at her; her face was flushed in the moonlight, and her eyes shone as if they were filled with stars.

That shyness, that courage, that reckless and fearless spirit—it was all written on his face.

"I like it!" Lin Hao said honestly.

Qin Xuemei was stunned. She hadn't expected him to admit it so directly, so she asked with a look of surprise:
"You...you're serious?"

Lin Hao nodded, then cupped her pretty face and said, "More real than real gold!"

Qin Xuemei almost burst into tears. She bit her lip, suppressing the urge to cry, and took Lin Hao's hand as they went to the bedroom.

Lin Hao naturally followed her inside. The room was small, with just a bed, a table, and a chair—very simple.

"Brother Lin!" Qin Xuemei closed the bedroom door and then hugged Lin Hao's neck.

Lin Hao looked at her, waiting for her to speak first. Qin Xuemei took a deep breath, as if she had made a great decision.

She tiptoed, blushed, and gently kissed Lin Hao on the lips before shyly saying:
"I like you!" she said, her voice trembling slightly.

"I liked you from the first time I saw you in Bashang. I was afraid that if I didn't say it, someone else would take you away."

Lin Hao looked at Qin Xuemei, who stood there with her eyes closed, waiting as if she were awaiting her final judgment.

The girl had gone to such lengths, so what else could Lin Hao say? He simply reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Qin Xuemei froze for a moment, then softened and hugged him tightly.

She buried her face in his chest, listening to his heartbeat, thump-thump-thump, as fast as her own.

"Brother Lin!" she called out in a muffled voice.

"Ok!"

"I...I want to...!" She couldn't finish her sentence.

But Lin Hao understood that silence spoke louder than words at this moment. He cupped her pretty face in his hands and lowered his head to kiss her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her warm red lips.

Feeling Lin Hao's domineering attitude, Qin Xuemei responded awkwardly, kissing him back even more forcefully.

Lin Hao smiled, then picked her up and lay down...!
Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the small dormitory room.

The night breeze blew gently, dispelling the daytime hustle and bustle, leaving only the sound of their breathing and their hearts beating for each other.

That night, Qin Xuemei waited for a long time.

That night, she finally stopped waiting.
