60s: I have a store

Chapter 250: Speech
Two days have passed since Chow Tai Fook was defrauded.

Since the police station has been busy with enemy spies these two days, Yang Daguo and Wu Fei were temporarily detained in the police station until they were done with these matters.

Chow Tai Fook is not in a hurry either, as he will get the money back sooner or later anyway.

However, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide!

The news of Chow Tai Fook being cheated also spread back to Zhoujiazhuang.

As expected, the guy almost had his legs broken by his parents at home. He knew that the money had to be returned, but because the case was not over yet, it was temporarily kept by the police station.

That's why he was just scolded and all his money was taken away, for fear that this kind of thing would happen again.

Chow Tai Fook also knew that this time it was his own problem, so he did not resist.

Instead, he cooperated and gave all the money to his parents for safekeeping.

Anyway, Uncle Sixteen said that the money he earned from the police station was enough to buy a job.

Many people in Zhoujiazhuang were jealous. They didn't expect that Chow Tai Fook could make so much money quietly. Although not all of it was from Chow Tai Fook, there was at least a little over two hundred.

You know, most families in the village can't afford so much money.

The old branch secretary pointed at Zhou Dafu and scolded him, then said: "Fortunately, Yimin reacted quickly this time and prevented the swindler from leaving Sijiucheng, so you can get your money back..."

In other words, people like you who are so thick-skinned would have drowned if they were other rural people. After all, a few hundred yuan, equivalent to a lifetime of savings, was swindled away by others all at once.

"Old branch secretary, you've seen a ghost, so aren't you afraid of the dark? Don't worry, there won't be a next time." Zhou Dafu assured.

After this incident, he also realized that if he didn’t use his connections, he would be a bastard.

Zhou Yimin had already received advance notice that the steel plant would hold a commendation meeting for the entire plant today.

Early in the morning, the sun shines all over the steel plant, and the employees in the factory are even happier. After all, many people benefit from every commendation meeting, and they can also eat better meals than usual at noon.

Since an important meeting is being held in the factory today, no one in the factory is allowed to take leave unless it is a critical matter and must come to attend.

Otherwise, it means that the thinking is not positive.

Who can bear it when a hat is put on you?
Some new employees had never seen such a grand meeting. They were wondering what and who the factory was commending.
Many "senior" employees had heard the news in advance and knew that it was because of the rice cooker invented by Zhou Yimin, so they also roughly understood who the protagonist of this commendation conference was.

After all the people in the factory arrived, Director Hu was quite satisfied with the mental state of his employees.

"I am very sorry for taking up your precious time today!
The purpose of this commendation meeting is to report to you that our factory has made a lot of achievements recently. We must continue to work hard and make progress in recognition of the encouragement and commendation from the higher authorities. "

"The leaders above have seen the efforts of many outstanding comrades and have given them high recognition and deserved honors. This is a recognition of the efforts of our steel plant and an affirmation of the hard work of all the employees of the steel plant."

After Director Hu finished speaking, it was the next leader's turn to give a speech. Time kept passing by and more than an hour had passed.

Compared with other workers who stood, Zhou Yimin had a seat. Although he was just a leader the size of a sesame seed, he was still a leader and did not have to stand like other workers.

The employees stood straight and listened quietly to the leaders' speeches, but there were also a few people whispering and looking dazed.

Someone whispered, "I really envy Zhou Yimin. He has been in the factory for a short time, but he has been praised many times and has become a leader. He is the protagonist of this commendation meeting. There is such a big difference between people."

"That's right, if my son could be one-tenth as good as Section Chief Zhou, I would be satisfied." An old employee fantasized.

Someone next to him joked, "Old Yi, stop talking in your sleep during the day and keep your feet on the ground. Give birth to a son first!" Xu Dong was standing in the crowd, but his face showed a complicated expression.

Although they all entered the factory at the same time, the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger. Not only did he become a leader and was about to be commended, but he was still an ordinary employee in the publicity department and did not see any room for improvement.

This feeling of being left behind by his peers made Xu Dong feel very uncomfortable.

You know, we all graduated from high school and have the same academic qualifications.

When they first came to the steel plant, Xu Dong noticed Zhou Yimin. At that time, he was still comparing himself with Zhou Yimin.

Nowadays, there is no comparison.

Almost all the senior leaders in the factory have spoken about it.

At this time, Director Hu took the stage again and began to speak into the microphone: "Comrades, the deputy director and the secretary just said it was very good. It would be bad if we continue to waste your precious time and affect subsequent production.

Now, we invite Comrade Zhou Yimin to come up and give his speech. Please applaud. "

There was applause from the audience. Those who were close to Zhou Yimin even clapped their hands until they turned red, but they did not stop.

Director Hu continued, "Zhou Yimin used his rest time to study hard and invented many things.

Among them, the rice cooker is considered a technological breakthrough and has already started mass production. Our superiors have given us a task to produce it as soon as possible.”

Zhou Dazhong was very excited about his uncle Sixteen's achievement, as if he was the one who achieved it.

Director Hu put his hands together and signaled everyone to be quiet.

After the workers calmed down, he announced the reward for Zhou Yimin.

First, an electric rice cooker produced by their factory. This kind of rice cooker is used for export to earn foreign exchange, and will not be sold domestically for the time being, so even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

The workers were very envious of this.

That's a rice cooker! Just plug it in and you can cook rice. It's so convenient.

Then, there is a bonus of 100 yuan.

It’s almost two months’ salary for others.

Finally, there are various tickets and the rewards are very rich, which makes people greedy.

After Zhou Yimin came to power, he also talked a lot of nonsense, thanking his fellow workers for their care, thanking the leaders for their cultivation, thanking the country, thanking the people, etc.

After this, Director Hu was stunned.

Are you going to die? That's a good point.

Zhou Yimin had no choice. In this era, political correctness is very important. This is also one of the reasons why he doesn't like to speak up. He is really afraid of saying the wrong thing by accident.

However, there is definitely nothing wrong in thanking a lot of people, thanking the Party and the people.

No one can find fault with this kind of words.

Thanks to brother 08a for the reward!
