Scholars in the courtyard

After taking two gulps of water, Liu Huaimin continued.

  "The notice Mr. Huang received did not say what happened specifically. It just said that the superiors had informed us to make preparations!"

  "Also, this person should be an important guest, so we can't neglect him!"

  After Liu Huaimin finished speaking, he stood up again, "This matter must be taken seriously!"

  "Have a meeting. When Lao Chen comes back, call Lao Zhao to come over and have a meeting."

  "I'll go talk to Lao Zhao first."

  After saying that, he walked out again, leaving behind a somewhat messy Yang Xiaotao and an excited Lou Xiao'e.

  "What's going on? I'm just a foreign guest visiting. What's there to be excited about!"

  After saying that, Yang Xiaotao hurriedly walked to his seat and sat down, looking as if nothing had happened, which puzzled Lou Xiaoe.

  "Mr. Yang!"

  Lou Xiao'e listened carefully and was excited inside.

  After all, this is to receive foreign guests. How many people and factories are envious of it.

  "What's wrong?"

  "Foreign guests are coming. Are you saying we shouldn't make preparations?"

  "what to prepare!"

  Yang Xiaotao said nonchalantly, "What this can show others is that it must be true and truly reflect our spiritual outlook."

  "What does it mean to commit fraud and improvise? If someone sees through it, won't it become an international joke?"

  Yang Xiaotao said without raising his head, looking indifferent.

  I just came back from the warehouse, and I was so anxious about this. I really thought I had never seen foreigners.

  Lou Xiao'e listened thoughtfully, "It's just, is this really good?"

  "That's a foreign guest!"

  "What's wrong? Foreign guests are human beings too. Oh, by the way, clean up the place. The environment still needs to be tidied up."

  Lou Xiao'e opened her mouth. Seeing Yang Xiaotao like this, she had nothing to say, so she could only pick up the rag on the side and really clean it.

  Yang Xiaotao then went out to the warehouse.

  Chen Gong went to Jinmen Mechanical and Electrical Factory yesterday. The cooperation between the two parties was good. The machinery factory also needs to establish a good relationship with the Mechanical and Electrical Factory. When he went this time, he brought many gifts.

  According to the plan, I have to come back in the afternoon anyway.

  After leaving the door, Yang Xiaotao came to the warehouse and looked at the motorcycle that had been set up. Yang Xiaotao looked around and finally continued to take action.

  At noon, the motorcycle had been assembled by Yang Xiaotao, but it had not been painted yet. It looked like steel.

  However, Yang Xiaotao is already very satisfied.

  I put on the fault scanning glasses and walked around the motorcycle. After finding no abnormalities, I was ready to go to the team to find some gasoline and try riding out.

  But before Yang Xiaotao came to the motorcade, he ran into Lou Xiao'e and said that Mr. Huang was here, so he hurried to the conference room for a meeting.

  Now, there is no need to wait for Chen Gong.

  As soon as I walked in, I saw the workshop director, people from the logistics department, the publicity department, the security department, even the canteen director, and all the top leaders from the machinery factory were here.

  The room was full of people, noisy and noisy. When the three people walked in, it became quiet.

  As soon as he sat down, Mr. Huang couldn't wait to speak.

  "Comrades, you have all heard. This time, the superior leaders will place the venue for receiving foreign guests in our machinery factory."

  "Let me tell you all, Mr. Chen is leading the team this time!"

  "Choosing us here is also Mr. Chen's arrangement!"

  "So, when receiving foreign guests this time, everyone must be alert and show the most beautiful scene of the machinery factory."

  After Mr. Huang finished speaking, everyone below started talking, and some even clenched their fists in excitement.

  "Comrades!"

  Liu Huaimin saw Mr. Huang finish speaking and then spoke.

  "We must attach great importance to this visit by foreign guests."

  "When I return to each position, I must make it clear to all comrades and show my best face!"

  "Let's talk about what we need to pay attention to, and we can't let anything go wrong!"

  After the words fell, Wang Guodong on the side immediately spoke, "Over there in the canteen, the people serving food should stop wearing putty clothes and be careful!"

  The canteen director nodded quickly, "Let everyone wear clean clothes tomorrow."

  "Yes! If you don't have clean clothes, you can borrow them from each other. If you have dirty clothes, go back and wash them quickly. You can finish them in one night!"

  "There is also a toilet. I don't know if this foreigner knows how to use a squat pit..."

  "Yes, I heard that they all sit down to get to the tub. If they sit down..."

  After saying this, everyone laughed together...

  "Okay, be serious!"

  Liu Huaimin knocked on the table, and everyone became quiet!

  "But then again, this toilet needs to be cleaned."

  Yang Xiaotao did not explain what the toilet looked like, but said solemnly, "Now that the weather is warm, it smells like this!"

  "Well, comrades in the logistics department must do a good job in this matter. This place not only reflects the quality of the workers in our factory, but also reflects the culture of a factory!"

  Liu Huaimin nodded, and then asked the Propaganda Department to prepare.

  After the meeting, Mr. Huang left Liu Huaimin, Yang Xiaotao and Zhao Chuanjun behind to make arrangements alone.

  "Safety is a big deal, Director Zhao, you have to take care of it."

  Zhao Chuanjun nodded solemnly.

  "Don't worry, chief. Whether it's in the machinery factory or on the road, our security office will ensure that there won't be any problems."

  "it is good!"

  Mr. Huang looked at Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao again, "The rest, how to arrange it and how to receive it, I'll leave it to you two!"

  "We must make this reception a good one."

  "This matter is related to the face of our First Machinery Department!"

  Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin looked at each other, then nodded in unison.

  "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

  in the workshop.

  The scene where work was hot a second ago is now busy cleaning up.

  The loudspeaker in the workshop even sounded the instructions for receiving foreign guests.

  "Comrades, when receiving foreign guests this time, please keep smiling after seeing them..."

  “Maintain good personal hygiene…”

  With the continuous announcement of the meeting through the loudspeaker, the entire machinery factory was making emergency preparations. In the afternoon, a car walked in from the gate, and a person got out of the car. It was Secretary Tang.

  After being greeted by Liu Huaimin and Yang Xiaotao, they quickly came to the office.

  "Secretary Tang, do you want to come again this time? Who are you?"

  Yang Xiaotao was familiar with Secretary Tang and was not polite when he came up.

  Secretary Tang sat on the chair dignifiedly, "Mr. Yang, Secretary Liu."

  "My visit this time was arranged by the chief. Let me tell you about tomorrow's itinerary."

  "Originally, the leader led the team this time, but someone on the other side wanted to visit our machinery factory. We guessed that the other party was interested in our tricycles and tractors, so they made this request."

  "We expected four people to come, including a woman."

  "This time Mr. Chen is leading us to our machinery factory."

  "Before coming, the chief warned us to make all possible preparations to ensure nothing goes wrong."

  Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin looked at each other, then nodded.

  "Please tell the chief that our machinery factory will never be embarrassed."

  Then Secretary Tang explained the general itinerary so that the machinery factory could make preparations.

  We will arrive at the machinery factory at around [-] a.m. and then visit the production workshop under the arrangement of the machinery factory.

  At the same time, visit the memorial hall of the machinery factory.

  After the tour, you will have a meal at the machine factory.

  The location is handled by the machinery factory, but the chefs and materials for cooking do not need to be involved by the machinery factory. There will be specialized people.

  It is expected to leave the machinery factory at one o'clock in the afternoon, and the entire reception will end.

  "It should be noted that during the reception, don't say anything you don't know, and don't initiate conversations."

  "We have a translator following us throughout the entire process."

  "If you ask about technical questions, the head of the department has instructed that Comrade Yang Xiaotao should answer them uniformly. This point should be told to the workers below and don't say more."

  "Also, during this period, you must maintain good civility, be polite, don't spit, and dress appropriately."

  "Of course, if the other party makes unreasonable demands and the machinery factory needs to keep them confidential, we can firmly refuse them."

  "The last thing is the gift. We will prepare a gift here, but special circumstances must be considered. If the other party has something they like, we will try our best to satisfy the other party without touching our interests."

  Secretary Tang made the final explanation. Both of them listened carefully and raised doubts from time to time. After the three of them discussed in the room for more than an hour, Secretary Tang stood up and left.

  After Secretary Tang left, Yang Xiaotao and Liu Huaimin began to divide their work.

  Yang Xiaotao went to the workshop to take charge, Liu Huaimin was in charge of publicity, and the security work was left to Zhao Chuanjun.

  Then, Liu Lixue's voice sounded again on the loudspeaker, and the key points were read out again.

  Throughout the afternoon, the machinery factory's production capacity dropped to almost half, and the remaining people were cleaning.

  Not only the working environment such as workshops and warehouses, but also the factory area underwent a general cleaning.

  The cement road outside the gate was even swept clean by people from the security office.

  In the motorcade, the driver present took a linen cloth and kept wiping the car clean.

  Everyone was busy working until the evening, and the entire machinery factory was in a state of excitement. The comrades after get off work were all discussing that they would be able to meet foreigners tomorrow and they must see what they would look like.

  Yang Xiaotao is not interested in this. In his previous life, the Internet was so developed. What kind of movies have he not seen?

  One night passed, and when Yang Xiaotao came to the machinery factory again, there was always a sense of celebration during the New Year.

  Especially the red flags planted on both sides of the factory, the newly painted slogans, and the workers coming and going all wearing clean clothes with neat buttons, it was like the sky had changed.

  "Mr. Yang, Secretary Liu asked you to go to the conference room and have a look."

  Before reaching the office, Yang Xiaotao was stopped by Liu Lixue.

  Today, Liu Lixue specially wore her own white dress. She usually doesn't dress up, but she actually pays attention to her appearance.

  This made Yang Xiaotao, who was used to seeing handsome tomboys in military uniforms, suddenly transformed into this woman. The difference was so big that he couldn't react.

  However, Yang Xiaotao was only surprised for a moment, then nodded and walked to the conference room.

  Behind her, Liu Lixue pursed her lips and smiled, but she was surprised when she saw Yang Xiaotao.

  Obviously, he is also confident in his appearance.

  It's a pity that this is not her intention.

  When we came to the conference room, the surrounding decoration was also festive.

  "Mr. Yang, Secretary Liu asked you to give us your opinions and see if there are any improvements."

  The publicity director was so busy that his forehead was sweating, and he rushed to decorate the venue before dawn. He still rushed and took his time, and finally got it done.

  Yang Xiaotao nodded and then looked towards the venue.

  The next second, his face turned ugly.

  "What's going on with the banner up there?"

  I saw a banner hanging above the rostrum. In addition to the banner written in Chinese to welcome the distinguished guests, there was also a row of English banners.

  Welcome to hong xing ji xie chang.

  what the hell.

  A combination of Chinese and Western?

  "Tear it off for me, write it randomly, write it blindly!"

  The publicity director's face froze. It took them most of the day to come up with these words. Why were they withdrawn now?
  "Mr. Yang, what is this?"

  "What is this? Who can write in English? Do you understand English?"

  "The front is in English and the back is in Pinyin. Why don't you just write Chinese characters?"

  The publicity director opened his mouth wide, "Can't you use Pinyin later?"

  Then he looked at Liu Lixue behind Yang Xiaotao.

  Yang Xiaotao followed his gaze and saw Liu Lixue's face turning red, lowering her head and speaking calmly.

  "I also looked it up in the dictionary, and it said that the pinyin can be used for place names and so on!"

  Yang Xiaotao was speechless.

  "The first part is fine, there's nothing wrong with it."

  "The following words, Red Star Machinery Factory, if directly translated, it is better to use Red Star Machinery Factory."

  Liu Lixue's eyes widened and she was very curious.

  Of course, if she knew that Yang Xiaotao had published papers in English, she would not be so curious.

  The publicity director looked at Yang Xiaotao again, "Mr. Yang, how about we replace him?"

  Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "No, there is no time. Besides, this distinguished guest may not understand English, but he has his own language."

  "Tear it off!"

  After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the director quickly ran forward, waving his hands and asking people to quickly remove it.
