Back to the 80s Machinery Factory

Chapter 233 Who doesn’t expect to be the center of attention!

Chen Dazhi: ...

"I don't want to argue with you, just go to sleep!"

Chen Dazhi fell back onto the kang with a bang, turned over stubbornly, and turned his back and head to Chen's mother again to express his silent protest!

Chen Luyang was watching with fear.

"Dad, your waist is so precious. It's making so many crackling sounds that if you didn't know better you'd think you were doing sit-ups!"

"Get lost!" Father Chen cursed without even turning his head.

"Okay~" Chen Luyang decisively and obediently shut up.

In the whole family, only Chen's mother can confront Chen's father. If he behaves again, the soles of his shoes will fly at him the next moment.

"Don't bother with your dad!"

Chen's mother looked as if she had discovered the truth.

"Your dad is in menopause and has seizures every now and then. I'll wait for you to attend the provincial commendation meeting and ask a reporter to take a photo of you speaking on stage."

"Why are you taking pictures of that?" A cool breeze blew up from Chen Luyang's back.

Now he instinctively gets scared when he thinks about taking pictures.

"Take it and show it to me, I want to see it!"

After giving the order firmly, Chen's mother picked out two sets of clothes for her son.

The provincial advanced commendation conference will be held at the Municipal Workers' Cultural Palace.

There were three people from the machinery factory attending the conference this time. In addition to Chen Dazhi and Chen Luyang, there was the old factory director Wang Qingzhou.

This time, Wang Qingzhou did not attend the meeting simply as the director of the machinery factory.

In the second half of the year, Chen Luyang wrote a document through the office director Niu Yong for the machinery factory to apply for the title of National Advanced Collective.

By the end of the year, the reward was approved.

The machinery factory became the only national advanced collective in the province, and Wang Qingzhou was going to go on stage to receive the award on behalf of the machinery factory.

A few days ago, the father and son, Old Chen and Little Chen, joined hands with the father and little Sun to get their hair cut in the haircutting department of the machinery factory.

Now the two heads look like two eggs, round and smooth.

Wang Qingzhou had his hair combed back and wore formal clothes, looking much more calm and energetic than Old Chen and Little Chen.

Looking at Wang Qingzhou, Chen Luyang couldn't help but tidied up her short hair.

"Dad, do you think my hair is sticking up a little?" Little Chen pulled Old Chen and pointed at his own head and asked.

Old Chen looked at Little Chen's hair, which was not even as long as a pencil, and nodded thoughtfully: "It's sticking up, and it's sticking up quite high!"

Little Chen's face showed joy, and he stretched out his hands to scratch Old Chen's head.

"Dad! I'll scratch it for you too..."

Old Chen rolled his eyes and was about to kick Xiao Chen away when he saw Wang Qingzhou coming out of the toilet and wondering:
"What are you two playing?"

Xiao Chen said honestly: "I'm fixing my dad's hair."

Wang Qingzhou glanced at Chen Dazhi's short, spiky hair, which was almost visible on his head, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Let's go first, and then we'll do it when we get to the venue."

"okay!"

This time, Chen Luyang took on the responsibility of driver, driving the car all the way, happily taking his father and the factory director to the Workers' Cultural Palace.

After parking the car at the door, the three people were led into the venue by the staff.

Although they are all advanced representatives from the machinery factory, the three of them sit in different areas and positions because they are participating in different award-winning projects.

Chen Luyang sat in the area for socialist youth activists and watched Lao Chen pick up his baby backpack and walk backstage with the help of staff.

Usually when people go on stage to receive awards, they will wear the medals they have received in the past.

Chen Dazhi is no exception.

However, he had so many medals that he was afraid that one or two would fall off when he was walking on the bumpy road, so he simply put them in a small cloth bag and hung them on his clothes one by one backstage after entering the venue.

Even Chen Luyang was given a big red flower by the staff because he was going to speak on stage.

This flower is so beautiful!

Chen Luyang lowered his head with a fresh look on his face, fiddling with the petals of the big red flower with his fingers.

It is made of red silk, and the fabric is tightly wrapped, giving it a layered look.

Here, Chen Luyang was happily playing with flowers with his head down when a young man came up and sat down in the empty seat on his left.

Seeing Chen Luyang, the visitor greeted him politely and took the initiative to exchange names with him.

This man's name is Sun Yi, and he is the head of the sales department of Zhuizihe Foreign Trade Company.

Chen Luyang is an extrovert, and Sun Yi is even more extroverted than him!

When two people who like to chat meet, it's like a bolt of lightning and they start communicating with each other.

"Our Cone River City used to have a lot of contact with the Soviet Union. It was good for a few years, but then it stopped."

"Thankfully, after the reform and opening-up policy was introduced two years ago, the railway started running. Although our area is small, the amount of freight moving through it every day is quite substantial!"

Speaking of railways, Chen Luyang actually knows something about them.

There is a dedicated line from the provincial capital, and the terminus is Zuizihe City.

"Recently, our port has had more contact with Japan. Many goods are shipped to the provincial capital via a dedicated line. This year, we also transported a batch of bearing steel imported from Japan to the country."

Chen Luyang asked curiously, "What are they selling at the port now?"

"Apples, thermoses, fish... we sell everything!"

"We often have brothers from surrounding cities coming here, and there are also many foreigners. We buy things from each other!" Sun Yi said with a smile.

"With so many things... can your trading company alone sell them all?"

"Actually, it's about the same." Sun Yi said.

"Our city is small, and can't be compared to the provincial capital. However, starting this year, a lot of small trading shops have opened in our Cone River City. After all, there is policy support!"

Chen Luyang became interested: "Do you sell toy cars? Our factory made a batch of toy cars this year. They're quite fun!"

"Sure! What kind of toy car?" Sun Yi's eyes lit up when he heard there were good things to sell.

Chen Luyang immediately gave Sun Yi a brief introduction to the size, appearance and functions of the toy car, which made Sun Yi very excited.

"Brother, are you free tomorrow? I'm going to stay in the provincial capital for a few days and want to see what good things are available there recently. If you're free, I'll go to the machinery factory tomorrow to see what your toy cars look like."

"Yes!" Chen Luyang was thinking of taking people to see the real thing, and when he saw him take the initiative to mention it, he immediately said:

"Then it's a deal. I'll take you to visit our factory tomorrow."

The two people were chatting happily when another acquaintance walked in.

"Secretary Bai Yunzhao Bai!"

Chen Luyang immediately stood up enthusiastically and shook hands with Bai Yunzhao, secretary of Yangshulin Commune.

This secretary almost contracted the manure from several major factories in the provincial capital this year and built a fertilizer plant. Today, he also came to receive recognition as an advanced worker wearing a big red flower.

"Director Chen! Hello!" Bai Yunzhao happily and forcefully shook Chen Luyang's hand.

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Bai Yunzhao followed the staff's instructions and sat in his seat.

As more and more people sat down, the previously bustling venue gradually became quiet.

The total number of people in the entire venue was estimated to be over a thousand.

Chen Luyang was going to speak soon, and he originally wanted to take the manuscript out of his pocket and straighten out the logic and wording.

But he looked around a little and didn't see anyone taking the manuscript out of their pocket.

He simply closed his eyes and calmed his mind. The manuscript was already written, and there was no time to revise it, so he could just read it!
Just as Chen Luyang looked at the clock in the venue to see what time the meeting would start, thunderous applause suddenly broke out in the venue.

Chen Luyang raised his chin and looked forward, subconsciously and passively clapping along with everyone else.

It was not until I saw a group of people appearing on the rostrum that I realized that they were the leaders of the provincial party committee.

The meeting officially began at nine o'clock in the morning, and the director of the provincial committee delivered an opening speech.

Then, several leaders of the provincial party committee took turns to speak.

After the leaders finished their speeches, it was time for the most anticipated moment of awarding certificates and medals.

First of all, the first awardee was the provincial machinery factory which won the title of National Advanced Collective.

During the host's introduction, the factory director Wang Qingzhou stood up humbly and walked calmly onto the stage to receive the award on behalf of the Provincial Machinery Factory.

Suddenly, countless envious, longing, jealous and envious eyes were all focused on Wang Qingzhou.

Wang Qingzhou has been active in the provincial capital for many years.

There are many people who like him, but even more who don't like him!!

But even though these people had many emotions in their hearts, at this moment they could only turn them into applause, which exploded like thunder throughout the entire auditorium.

The Provincial Machinery Factory is a well-deserved heavy industry force and a leading benchmark in the province's production industry!

Even though he had difficulties and setbacks, he never gave in!
What he is best at is wading through the mud and making a way out of nothing.

"The factory manager is so damn handsome!"

Chen Luyang clapped wildly in the audience.

Maybe the lights in the auditorium were too bright.

Or maybe the applause from the audience was too enthusiastic.
Or maybe the certificate with the words "National Advanced Collective" on it was too eye-catching.

At this moment, in Chen Luyang's eyes,

Wang Qingzhou's slicked-back hair is a mixture of black and white, and every strand of hair seems to be glowing with golden light!

Who doesn’t yearn for success and fame?

Who doesn’t want to be the center of attention!

Who doesn’t want to achieve great things!!!

"I don't know when I could be like this, standing on the stage and being awarded individually."

Chen Luyang's palms were almost numb. If it weren't for his identity as a socialist youth activist, he would have wanted to stand up and cheer for the old factory director!
The applause lasted for several minutes before Wang Qingzhou slowly walked off the stage, holding the certificate in both hands.

The next person to go up and receive the award was none other than Chen Luyang's father, Chen Dazhi.

After the host mentioned the names of the three people named "Chen Dazhi", Chen Dazhi walked up to the podium wearing a big red flower on his chest and medals all over his body.

Chen Luyang was stunned.

I saw that his family's old Chen had golden medals pinned all over his shirt from left to right and from top to bottom.

Standing on the stage, his whole body was shining brightly, almost blinding the people in the audience.

As a national model worker and a provincial advanced worker who has been re-elected, Chen Dazhi's position among the workers' representatives is unshakable!

When the provincial leader took out the medal and pinned it on Chen Dazhi's shirt, Chen Luyang cheered wildly in the audience, almost making his voice hoarse.

Chen Luyang's shouting and applause almost deafened the people around him.

Sun Yi couldn't help but asked:

"Brother, is this old master also from your factory?"

"He's my dad."

Chen Luyang shouted out with great pride.

Oops! ! ! !

In an instant, all eyes were directed towards Chen Luyang, with Chen Luyang as the center and the five seats as the radius.

Chen Luyang raised his chin and accepted everyone's shocked gazes frankly.

At first, this group of people were just showing off to him.

But when they saw the big red flower on Chen Luyang's body, they were speechless in an instant.

Where the hell did this father and son come from!
It would be fine if only one of them went on stage to receive the award, but his son did the same!
Chen Dazhi walked off the stage with his chest puffed out and his arms folded, his golden medals flashing on his clothes.

After the two major awards of National Advanced Collective and Model Worker were presented, the rest came on stage to receive their awards one after another.

When it was the turn of the socialist youth activists to go on stage to receive the award,
Chen Luyang adjusted the big red flower on his body, smoothed his sparse hair, held his head high, and walked to the first row of the team to receive the award.

Walking onto the stage,

Chen Luyang stood under the bright spotlight,
He glanced at Wang Qingzhou and Chen Dazhi respectively, and threw two glances at his old factory director and father respectively.

Wang Qingzhou smiled and stretched out his hand, pointing at him, his expression seemed to say: "Look at how little you can do."

Chen Dazhi pursed his chubby face, signaling that he shouldn't grin and laugh foolishly on the stage.

But not serious for a second.

Chen Dazhi couldn't help but thrust his elbows left and right, pointing at Chen Luyang on the stage, and started to speak as if to say:
"That's my son!"

Finally, the leader came to the stage to present him with the award.
Chen Luyang was happily preparing to receive the certificate, but when he looked up unexpectedly, he saw a familiar face standing opposite him.

"Congratulations, Comrade Chen Luyang."

Provincial Propaganda Minister Chen Tuo handed the certificate to Chen Luyang with a smile.

Chen Luyang's heart trembled, and an inexplicable sense of guilt surged from his stomach.

He has been thinking about the girl all night long these past few days, and is trying to find an opportunity to hold her hand again.

In the end, the daughter didn't come, but the father did.

"Thank you Uncle Chen for your support."

Chen Luyang enthusiastically held Chen Tuo's hand.

He didn't care what other people thought and took this rare opportunity to get closer to them.

At home, he is called by his title, and outside, he is called uncle.

Public and private affairs must be clearly distinguished!
"Keep working hard in the future." Chen Tuo had a smile on his face.

But when she thought about the pig's hoof holding her daughter's hand, she still felt angry and subconsciously pinched it hard.

hiss……

Chen Luyang felt the strength in his hands growing stronger and stronger.

I don’t know if it’s my hallucination.

He inexplicably had the illusion that Chen Tuo wanted to strangle him to death.

"Could it be that he knows about me and Chen Jinyue?"

A cold sweat broke out on my back.

But the next moment, Chen Luyang gave up the idea.

impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Chen Jinyue didn't even say she agreed to it, so how would her father know?

With strong psychological support,
Chen Luyang was extremely sunny, confident and strong enough to withstand the death handshake of "proposed promotion to father-in-law".

Finally, holding the certificate, he showed his white teeth and took a photo with Chen Tuo.

Before leaving, Chen Luyang shook hands with Chen Tuo again without fear of death.

Chen Tuo was so confused that he wasn't sure whether he was being provocative or just being stupid.
