Chapter 639

"Under the leadership of our great leader, we forge ahead bravely..."

"The Red Star Rolling Mill National Day Art Performance officially begins!"

"Please enjoy the first workshop's chorus, 'Unity is Strength'!"

Amidst enthusiastic applause, the workers of the first workshop went on stage.

"Unity is strength! Unity is strength!

"This strength is iron! This strength is steel!"

"Harder than iron! Stronger than steel..."

In the melody and lyrics full of positive energy, everyone was infected and encouraged.

After the chorus, one workshop and section after another took the stage.

The staff canteen contributed a standard program, a chorus of "The East is Red."

Compared to the amateur performances of the Rolling Mill workers,

the performances of the Art Troupe were more professional and more exciting.

The first program, the song and dance "Nanniwan," ignited the whole venue.

The singing and dancing made countless male workers' blood boil.

The female comrades dancing were all young, beautiful, and graceful.

With hearty dancing and beautiful, skillful movements,

after the song and dance, the whole venue erupted in thunderous applause.

Xu Damao's eyes widened, and he swallowed his saliva in greed.

Yan Jiecheng stood in the crowd, clapping vigorously.

Liu Guangtian's face was flushed red, and he had already forgotten Qin Jingru to the back of his mind.

Cao Weiguo sat in the front row, his eyes dazzled.

This performance was too wonderful!

Applause!

One wonderful program followed another.

Making everyone shout that it was satisfying.

Many people's hands were red from clapping.

When the performance came to an end with a chorus,

many workers were still reluctant to leave.

At noon, the canteen prepared a sumptuous lunch.

Kung Pao Chicken, Braised Fish, Minced Meat with Green Beans, Pork Stewed with Vermicelli...

This made the workers eat until they were satisfied.

The comrades from the Art Troupe were even more surprised.

This food was just too good!

After getting their food and picking up their chopsticks, they couldn't stop praising it.

In the guesthouse, Deputy Factory Director Li warmly entertained the higher-level leaders.

Dish after dish of carefully cooked food conquered everyone's taste buds.

At the dinner table, Cao Weiguo met the director leading the Art Troupe.

This director, named Dong Shuzhen, was nearly forty, but she was well-maintained and had a moving appearance.

Dong Shuzhen smiled at Cao Weiguo with great charm:

"I've long heard that Section Chief Cao of the Rolling Mill has superb cooking skills."

"After eating the dishes made by Section Chief Cao, I know the rumors aren't false."

"Compared to the famous chefs in the capital, it is not inferior at all."

This was a bit of an exaggeration, but who doesn't like to hear nice things?

Dong Shuzhen was fair-skinned and beautiful, and her every gesture was full of the charm of a beautiful woman.

Cao Weiguo said modestly: "You flatter me, Director Dong; compared to the famous master chefs, I still have a lot to learn."

Dong Shuzhen laughed crisply: "Section Chief Cao is too modest; after eating your food today, I'm afraid I won't have an appetite for other food in the future."

"Since Director Dong likes the food made by Section Chief Cao, you should come to the Rolling Mill as a guest often."

"This Section Chief Cao still has many signature dishes he hasn't brought out yet!"

"If he brings out his true skills, I guarantee it will make you, Director Dong, eat until you forget to go home."

Seeing the two talking happily, Deputy Factory Director Li couldn't help but smile and tease.

Hearing Deputy Factory Director Li's words, a flush appeared on Dong Shuzhen's beautiful face.

She looked at Cao Weiguo teasingly: "Is that true, Section Chief Cao? Then I'll have to come and bother you often in the future."

Section Chief Cao smiled: "I would be more than happy to cook for Director Dong."

After a few drinks, the atmosphere at the dinner table became even more active.

Higher-level leader Section Chief Peng asked with interest:

"Section Chief Cao, I heard that besides your good cooking skills, you are also a good hand at getting supplies."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deputy Factory Director Li said first:

"Section Chief Peng! You really have sharp eyes!"

"This year's holiday benefits for the Rolling Mill, including the ingredients on the dinner table,"

"are all thanks to Section Chief Cao."

Section Chief Peng smiled: "Oh! Section Chief Cao is young and promising! Not bad, not bad!"

"Thank you for the praise, leader! Let me toast you!"

Cao Weiguo stood up excitedly, raised his glass, and drank it in one gulp.

After lunch, everyone sent Section Chief Peng to his car together.

After the comrades from the Art Troupe left, Deputy Factory Director Li led all the workers in a general cleaning.

It was called a general cleaning, but it was no different from having a half-day holiday.

Nearly ten thousand workers cooperated and chatted as they cleaned the factory area until it was spotless.

Xu Damao happily handed the final payment to the Jin brothers.

He even praised the Jin brothers.

It had to be said that the Jin brothers had done a beautiful job.

Xu Damao thought the money was well spent.

Why hadn't he thought of hiring outside help before?

The Jin brothers counted the money happily:

"Xu Damao, if you have business in the future, just come find us."

"Our brothers guarantee to handle it beautifully for you."

Xu Damao smiled: "You did a good job this time; if I have business in the future, I will definitely find you brothers first!"

Liu Guangtian was sweeping the floor with a broom not far away.

His eyes glanced at Xu Damao and the Jin brothers from time to time.

Although he hadn't been at the Rolling Mill for long, he had heard quite a few things.

Among them were the rumors about the Jin brothers.

The ancestors of these Jin brothers were Eight Banners disciples.

Besides working in the sand casting workshop, they were also thugs on the street.

They often did things like taking people's money to eliminate disasters for them.

Seeing Xu Damao and the Jin brothers chatting enthusiastically,

Liu Guangtian couldn't help but think of the matter of Shazhu being set up.

"Interesting!"

"This Xu Damao is something!"

"If I tell Shazhu about this..."

Liu Guangtian had taken a fancy to Qin Jingru.

Xu Damao had snatched his love away. ===== CHAPTER 641 =====
