~7 min read 1,340 words

Looking at Zhou Andong, who was somewhat radiant on the stage, Wu Huilin tilted her body and whispered to Jiang Xiaobai.

"To be honest, at first I didn't understand how you could like such an ordinary man. Now I understand; he is gold covered by soil, and after being excavated by you, he finally emitted dazzling light."

Jiang Xiaobai was very proud: "My eye for people is much better than yours."

Wu Huilin rolled her eyes: "Stop being proud; Gu Bing just doesn't want to use his brain, do you think he's really stupid?"

"It really is 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'."

Jiang Xiaobai didn't give any face to her cousin Gu Bing and her best friend Wu Huilin.

"We grew up together; do I know him better or do you know him better?"

"Hmph!" Wu Huilin snorted: "Your so-called understanding is only superficial. I lie on the same bed with him, covered by the same quilt; who do you say knows him better?"

Jiang Xiaobai chuckled: "Fine, fine, you know him better, you're amazing, is that okay?"

Wu Huilin leaned closer to Jiang Xiaobai, her voice lowered even more: "Jiang Xiaobai, I'm warning you. If you dare say my Gu Bing's IQ is short eight liang again, I'm not finished with you."

"Pfft!" Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fine, fine, I won't say it in the future."

On the stage, Zhou Andong was still speaking.

"Fate cannot be chosen, but the attitude toward fate can be chosen. Although the unfortunate fate makes the work and life of disabled people go through hardships, as long as you face it with an optimistic attitude and fight with tenacious perseverance, no matter how big the difficulties are, they can be overcome, and no hardship is terrible."

Since its establishment, the group has taken building a social enterprise as its goal. Solving labor employment for disabled friends, improving the lives of disabled employees, and enhancing the integration of disabled employees into social construction are also part of our responsibility.

Believing in self-improvement and contributing to society is the firm belief of our Yugong Group and Yugong people. We are proud that our products can go to the whole country and enter thousands of households.

We will definitely not forget our original intention, make persistent efforts, strive to provide better products for society, provide better and more jobs for disabled friends, and contribute to the realization of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation's Chinese dream.

Here, I call on all sectors of society, especially colleagues in the business world, to further understand, respect, and care for disabled people, establish a new view of disabled people, and discard and change discrimination and misunderstanding of disabled people.

While pursuing economic benefits, we must also fulfill our social responsibilities and obligations. Use practical actions to solve problems for the country, provide suitable positions for disabled people, and give them a stage to show themselves and repay society.

I also sincerely hope that the vast number of disabled friends will establish the courage to live, and be more self-respecting, self-confident, self-improving, and self-reliant. Use your own practical actions to prove your life value and achieve yourself.

Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors of the Yugong Group and all employees, I wish all disabled friends and the audience in front of the TV. May your careers be successful, may your love be perfect, may your relatives and friends be reunited, may your life be smooth and perfect, and may your good luck be continuous."

Applause followed, and Fang Qiao walked up and took the microphone handed to her by Zhou Andong.

"Let's send applause once again to our Chairman."

The applause that had just subsided erupted again.

"Chairman, sing a song."

Zhou Andong was pushing Duan Xinmin and was just about to walk off the stage when someone started to boo.

"Chairman, sing a song."

"Sing!"

"Sing!"

"Sing!"

The shouting became louder and louder, finally almost lifting the roof of the Cultural Palace.

Regardless of men, women, old, or young, everyone was shouting with smiling faces, stretching their necks.

"Sing!"

"Sing!"

"..."

Fang Qiao said with a smile: "Chairman, the will of the people is hard to defy; since the employee comrades so strongly request you to sing, then sing one."

"Sing!"

Jiang Xiaobai stood up, waving her arms, joining in the excitement and shouting loudly.

Then it was Wu Huilin, followed by Gu Qing and the group leaders, who all stood up.

Zhou Andong looked at them speechlessly, pushed Duan Xinmin to the edge of the stage, handed him to two security employees, and then returned to the stage.

"Chairman!"

Fang Qiao was also very excited; she had heard that Zhou Andong sang very well, but she had never heard it once.

"Sing what song? I'll go find the accompaniment tape."

"No need!" Zhou Andong pointed behind him at the instruments installed by the Black Panther band: "There are ready-made ones there."

"Good!" Fang Qiao handed the microphone to Zhou Andong and turned back to the backstage.

Zhou Andong held the microphone and raised his hand to press down.

At this time, it finally quieted down below.

Zhou Andong scanned below: "Do you really want me to sing?"

"Yes!" The shouting was deafening.

"You guys better think it through." Zhou Andong said with a smile: "I'm telling you, today we invited quite a few singing stars; they charge money to sing, but if I sing, it might cost lives."

Laughter erupted, and there were people laughing backstage too.

Andy Lau and Hua Jian didn't quite understand and asked Jiang Yuyue.

"Mr. Zhou says singing costs lives; what does that mean?"

Jiang Yuyue explained: "This is self-deprecation, meaning he sings very badly."

"Oh!"

Andy Lau and Hua Jian understood, and then smiles appeared on their faces too.

At this time, someone shouted at the top of their lungs: "Chairman, you sing; we aren't afraid."

"Right, we aren't afraid." Jiang Xiaobai made a megaphone shape with her hands and shouted loudly at her mouth.

Zhou Andong pointed at Jiang Xiaobai and the others: "It's fine for employees to boo, but you are all group leaders; can you be a bit more steady? Why are you joining in the excitement and booing blindly?"

Jiang Xiaobai shouted with a smile: "We are following the will of the people; how can this be booing blindly?"

"That's right!" Yao Jun shouted: "Just give in; don't struggle, otherwise Jiang Dong won't let you into bed tonight."

With a boom, those who heard it in the front burst into laughter, while those in the back who didn't hear it didn't know what happened and kept asking around.

"What happened, what happened?"

"I don't know either."

"I'm dying of anxiety, what did they say, do you know?"

"..."

And backstage, whether it was Jiang Yuyue or Andy Lau, or Hua Jian and others, hearing Zhou Andong was going to sing, they all ran out and squeezed at the backstage exit to watch.

Zhou Andong picked up the guitar and tested it, then stuck the microphone on the stand.

"Today is New Year's Day, everyone is very happy. Since you asked me to sing, then I will respectfully obey. A song I wrote myself, dedicated to all disabled friends and those who are in adversity but are bravely fighting."

Zhou Andong's fingers plucked the strings.

Sweetness, bitterness, joy, and worry on the road of life, I wish to share everything with you.

It is inevitable to fall and wait, you must bravely raise your head.

Who wants to hide in a sheltered harbor, rather have the freedom of surging waves.

Wish to be the lighthouse guard in your heart, letting you see through in the fog.

Sunshine always comes after the rain, there is a clear sky above the dark clouds.

Cherish all the moving moments, every hope is in your hands.

Sunshine always comes after the rain, please believe there is a rainbow.
