Our Rise Era

Chapter 80 Hot! (First update)
The gong and drum team travels through the alleys and streets of the small town...

The interlacing cymbals and the passionate drum beats seemed to add a touch of real joy to this fake pheasant award ceremony!

The reporters' cameras followed the festive sounds and penetrated into the rows of old but neat factory buildings...

Zhang Yang walked into the factory with quick and powerful steps, the joy on his face difficult to conceal.

Finally, he came in front of Zheng Guodong, who had a complicated look on his face, with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Zheng, congratulations!"

Zheng Guodong's lips moved slightly and his face was a little dazed. After a while, his gaze returned to the huge trophy and he coughed lightly.

In front of countless cameras, he slowly took the trophy, and then, amid countless applause and cheers, he felt his face burning.

Although he has been on the battlefield for a long time and has seen many battles...

But it is really too embarrassing for someone like Zhang Yang to give the award to himself, and then to make a big fuss about it with gongs and drums as if he wanted the whole world to know about it, and to look so proud.

After receiving the trophy...

He realized that although the trophy looked golden and powerful, it seemed to be a plastic trophy and was very light.

He smiled in front of the camera and waved the trophy amid the cheers...

Then a group of young people who appeared out of nowhere hugged him excitedly and threw him in the air several times, twisting his waist so much that it hurt a lot.

After a long period of excitement and cheers, he finally walked into the company holding the trophy, surrounded by people and protected by security personnel.

When he walked in, the staff carefully placed the trophy into the glass, installed it, and placed it in the most conspicuous position. Then Zheng Guodong took Zhang Yang into the office.

The moment the door was closed, the expression on Zheng Guodong's face instantly turned into constipated embarrassment.

Especially when he saw the guard of honor beating drums and gongs at the factory gate, he took a deep breath and said, "Boss Zhang, you...ah, you are so embarrassed...Winning this award is simply..."

“Our sales are so good, why can’t we win an award?”

"He's awarding himself an award, and what a grand ceremony..."

"Mr. Zheng!"

outside the window.

A ray of bright sunshine shone in through the window.

Zhang Yang lost the ostentatious and joyful look he had outside, and his facial expression gradually calmed down.

"If we don't care about ourselves, then who else will care about us? Will our competitors care about us?"

"..."

“Although this award is self-proclaimed, as long as we keep working hard and persisting, we believe that we are definitely qualified to stand at a higher position…”

"..."

"Boss Zheng, look at those people in the factory..."

Zhang Yang came to the window and pointed at the workers who came out after hearing the news.

Zheng Guodong followed Zhang Yang's gaze and looked towards the factory.

At this moment, the workshop directors were looking up and whispering in the crowd. In addition to confusion and surprise, there was a bit of joy and pride on their faces!

He also saw those employees outside the window...

The employees stopped working one by one and watched curiously as the gong and drum team gradually went away. After understanding the situation, everyone was very excited!
“We need encouragement!”

"In fact, it's not just us, in fact, everyone needs encouragement!"

“We need to let them know that what they are doing is meaningful and recognized, that they have a future if they follow us, and that they can reap the joy of success with us!”

Zhang Yang looked at the noise below quietly with a smile on his face.

When he saw a car driving away, he slowly straightened his suit and walked towards the office door: "We should go out!"

"What to do?"

“Let them feel our joy!”

"..."

................................................

A small truck stopped at the factory gate.

The van's door opened.

Li Kangjian, the boss of [Kelly 48 Daily Chemicals], got out of the car excitedly and directed his employees to move the laundry detergent, soap and range hood cleaner from the car.

Li Kangjian is wearing a bright red outfit...

When he saw Zhang Yang walking towards the door, he quickly took two steps at a time and walked towards Zhang Yang.

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zheng, congratulations to our Haikang Instant Noodles for achieving another success, being exported overseas and winning applause from the audience!"

"..."

Li Kangjian's voice was very loud, and he was immediately noticed by reporters as soon as he shouted.

But he seemed not to have seen it, with an excited expression on his face. He shook hands with Zhang Yang and Zheng Guodong. After shaking hands, he looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zheng, congratulations, congratulations!"

"Haha, Mr. Li, what are you doing..." Zheng Guodong felt a little dizzy when he saw this scene.

"I am very excited to celebrate our Chinese local enterprise winning such a big award overseas. Here, I hope to express my warmest respect to the hard-working workers on the front line, and I have brought some small gifts with me!"

"Haha, okay, okay, thank you so much, Mr. Li!" Zhang Yang's face was full of smiles and he was very excited.

After a moment, he exchanged glances with Zheng Guodong. Seeing that Zheng Guodong understood what he meant, Zhang Yang walked under the camera and waved slightly in the noisy crowd!
"Everyone, everyone! Be quiet for a moment!"

"First of all, we would like to thank Mr. Li Kangjian from our [Kelly 48 Daily Chemicals] company for his support. We never thought that our company would win such an international award. This should be the first time in history. Mr. Zheng and I are very excited..."

"But this award does not belong to me and Mr. Zheng, but to everyone who works diligently on the front line..."

"Just now, I discussed with General Manager Zheng. To celebrate our winning of such a big award, we [Zhengyang International Food Group] will triple the wages of all the people working in the factory today! In addition, every household working in our factory can come to our General Manager Li to get a set of daily cleaning supplies!"

"This product is sponsored by our President Li!"

"We invite Mr. Li to come on stage and say a few words for us!" "..."

Amidst applause.

Li Kangjian was pushed to the center of the camera.

After a moment, he coughed lightly, and under everyone's gaze, his expression became extremely serious!

"In fact, when I saw that our [Haikang Instant Noodles] under [Zhengyang International Food Group] won such a high-profile award internationally, I was shocked. I never thought that our small place and our company could overcome all obstacles and go abroad, go global, and reach the top..."

"Then, I was very excited and proud. From this morning, I hoped to contribute a little bit of my strength to this event..."

"..."

..........................................

1 month 17 day.

8:50 am.

In the office of Taifeng County's investment promotion department.

【Paris Gold Award】.

What kind of award is it?

[Taifeng County] No one has ever heard of this award.

Even some leaders of Taifeng County were confused.

After receiving calls from the neighboring county and even the city, the leaders were still at a loss.

This award came out of the blue, and no one had told them about it, so they didn't know what had happened.

When they started questioning the relevant personnel, their expressions suddenly became complicated.

"Lin Ke... this award is one they directed and performed themselves..."

"Director, it doesn't matter what the award is, or even whether it exists. What matters is that this is a company in our county that won the award!"

"..."

Investment promotion department.

Lin Chaoxian looked at the leader's expression and silently pushed the computer in front of the leader Sun Guocheng.

Sun Guocheng looked at the news on his laptop...

Suddenly I discovered on the Internet that seemingly overnight, all the companies related to Zhang Yang had won awards!

In the morning, after a burst of excitement at [Zhengyang International Food Group]...

In the afternoon, I brought a group of people to [ZY Toys] and there was a lot of gongs and drums. It was so lively...

In the evening, he appeared in [YW Animation] again, holding the trophy excitedly, with a look of joy on his face...

……

One photo after another...

There was an impassioned announcement that employees would be given three times their wages...

Zhang Yang handed the trophy to Zhang Gui with a sincere look on his face...

Zhang Yang held Lu Wei's hand and raised it excitedly...

……

Each piece of news is actually still quite popular on the Internet.

but……

"Why is there so much ridicule on the Internet?"

"..."

Director Sun Guocheng still had a smile on his face at first.

But then, the smile gradually froze.

He found that on the Internet, everyone's attitude towards this sudden award was not congratulations, but rather ridicule.

It is said that Zhang Yang is really crazy about winning the award, so he created such a messed up award to gild his own image.

【Paris Gold Award】.

What kind of award is it?

Laymen only think that the beating of gongs and drums is lively and impressive, and they can't help but feel a bit of awe in their hearts.

Especially when Zhang Yang was interviewed, he used a series of words like "only", "first time", "unprecedented", etc., which made people very excited.

But an expert could tell at a glance that this thing was ridiculously fake...

If it's not very popular and no one exposes it, at most it will be treated as a joke and people will just wave their fingers and let it go.

however……

When the popularity grew, countless “insiders” naturally noticed that something was wrong with the award at the first moment!

Finally, I followed the clues on the Internet and finally...

Overnight...

This so-called award was immediately exposed to everyone...

Then, everyone saw this farce!
……

"What's wrong with this account? It has over 100,000 followers, and they are all from scolding Zhang Yang?"

At this time, Sun Guocheng, director of the investment promotion department, saw an account called "Capital Nightmare" on the Internet.
