Siheyuan: I, an ordinary resident, the king of chefs

Qin Huairu walked into the room and said with a smile: "You are a very hardworking young man. By the way, I heard that the factory is going to hold a literary and artistic competition. Are you interested in participating?"

Zhang Liang put down the tools in his hands and asked in surprise, "Arts and Culture Competition? I have heard of it, but I usually like to listen to music and have never tried singing."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed with cunning, "Zhang Liang, I heard that you sing well, but you just don't show it off normally. This is a rare opportunity, why not give it a try?"

Zhang Liang scratched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sister Qin, you think too highly of me. I am still used to working alone and listening to music. Performing on stage is really not suitable for me."

Qin Huairu patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be modest. This competition is a grand event for the whole factory. Many people are participating and everyone is looking forward to it. Just think of it as helping your fellow workers to have fun."

Zhang Liang thought about it and felt that what Qin Huairu said made sense. This art competition was a big event in the factory. Everyone worked hard, so it would be nice to take this opportunity to relax. So he nodded, "Okay, Sister Qin, I'll give it a try."

Qin Huairu smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, we will all support you then."

A few days later, the factory started the registration for the art competition. During his lunch break, Zhang Liang walked into the registration office and saw Li Fang sorting out the materials.

"Li Fang, I'm here to sign up for the arts competition." Zhang Liang said.

Li Fang looked up and saw Zhang Liang, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Zhang Liang, you are coming to participate too? That's great, what are you going to perform?"

Zhang Liang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I plan to sing a song, but I haven't decided which one yet."

Li Fang smiled and said, "Your singing is great, and your voice is very contagious. There will definitely be a lot of people coming to listen to your performance."

Zhang Liang nodded, "Thank you Li Fang, I will prepare well."

After signing up, Zhang Liang returned home and began to prepare for the competition seriously. He practiced singing every night. Although he was a little nervous, he was also full of expectations.

That night, Zhang Liang was practicing when he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Yan Bugui standing at the door.

"Zhang Liang, I heard that you are going to participate in a literary and artistic competition? I am your fan and I must come to support you!" Yan Bugui said with a smile.

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Uncle Yan, please don't joke with me. I'm just trying to liven up the atmosphere."

Yan Bugui patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be modest, kid. I believe you can do it. When the time comes, our whole family will go to cheer you on."

A few days later, the art competition officially began. The auditorium in the factory was bustling with people, and workers came to watch the competition. The atmosphere was lively. Zhang Liang sat backstage, feeling a little nervous, but more excited.

The competition started, and various performances came on stage, including singing, dancing, crosstalk, and playing musical instruments. Everyone performed very well. Zhang Liang's program was arranged in the middle. He sat in the backstage and adjusted his mood silently.

"Zhang Liang, come on!" Li Fang said to him backstage.

Zhang Liang took a deep breath and nodded, "Thank you Li Fang, I will do my best."

Finally, it was Zhang Liang's turn. He walked onto the stage and faced the audience. He was a little nervous, but was soon moved by the warm applause and cheers. He picked up the microphone, took a deep breath, and began his performance.

Zhang Liang chose a classic old song. His voice was rich and infectious. With the rhythm of the music, he gradually got into the mood. The audience was also attracted by his singing and gave him warm applause.

When Zhang Liang sang to the climax, the whole audience burst into applause and cheers. Everyone was deeply moved by his performance. Zhang Liang felt the enthusiasm of the audience and was filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

When the song ended, the audience burst into thunderous applause. Zhang Liang bowed deeply, his heart filled with gratitude and pride. He knew that this performance was not only a challenge to himself, but also an affirmation of himself.

Li Fang and other workers gathered around him, and everyone praised his performance.

"Zhang Liang, you are awesome!" Li Fang said excitedly.

Zhang Liang smiled and said: "Thank you for your support, I am just trying my best."

Yan Bugui came over and laughed, "Zhang Liang, you really didn't disappoint me. We must celebrate tonight!"

Zhang Liang nodded gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Yan. I must relax tonight."

The result of the competition was announced soon, Zhang Liang won the Best Singer Award, and everyone congratulated him. Zhang Liang was filled with gratitude and joy, and he knew that all this was inseparable from everyone's support and encouragement.

In the evening, everyone gathered together, Zhang Liang took the trophy and celebrated with his fellow workers. At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came over with a smile on his face.

"Zhang Liang, congratulations, you performed very well today." Yi Zhonghai said.

Zhang Liang said gratefully: "Thank you, Master Yi, your encouragement means a lot to me."

"Keep it up, kid. You have potential and will achieve greater success in the future."

Zhang Liang nodded, "I will, Master Yi."

As the night deepened, everyone gradually dispersed. Zhang Liang returned to his hut, sat at the table, and thought about everything that happened today. He was filled with gratitude and satisfaction. He knew that this was just the beginning, and there would be more challenges and opportunities waiting for him in the future.

The next day, Zhang Liang came to the factory early and started his day's work. Although he celebrated until late last night, he was still full of energy.

Li Fang came over and said with a smile: "Zhang Liang, you came so early today? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "It's okay, Li Fang, work cannot be delayed."

Li Fang nodded. "You are such a hard-working person. No wonder everyone likes you."

Zhang Liang said modestly: "Thank you Li Fang for your compliment. I just try my best to do my job well.

. "

Li Fang smiled and nodded: "Zhang Liang, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch today to celebrate your award. Don't refuse."

Zhang Liang nodded, "Okay, Li Fang, I won't be polite then."

At noon, the canteen was bustling with workers sitting around, the table was filled with dishes, and the atmosphere was cheerful. Yan Bugui raised his glass and said loudly: "Come on, let's drink to Zhang Liang's victory!"

"Cheers!" The workers responded in unison and raised their glasses.

Zhang Liang smiled gratefully and raised his glass, "Thank you for your support, this award belongs to all of us, and we must continue to work hard in the future!"

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere became more lively. Everyone was talking and laughing, sharing their work and life. Zhang Liang's heart was filled with warmth and gratitude. Although he usually liked to be alone, he also felt the collective strength and warmth in such a group activity.

At this time, Liu Haizhong came over and said with a smile: "Zhang Liang, don't just focus on your work. The performances in the art competition are very good. You should participate in more activities like this."

Zhang Liang nodded, “Master Liu, you are right, I will participate more in the future and have fun with everyone.”

Liu Haizhong patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder and said, "That's right. Young people should experience more of life instead of just working hard."

After the dinner, Zhang Liang returned to work and continued to devote himself to his busy work. Despite the competition and celebration he had just experienced, he still worked as hard as ever and did not let himself slack off.

A few days later, the factory director talked to Zhang Liang. "Zhang Liang, the superiors in the factory are very satisfied with your performance recently. They are considering letting you take charge of a new project. This is a very important task. Do you have confidence?"

Zhang Liang thought for a moment and nodded: "Director, I will do my best to complete this task."

The factory manager nodded with satisfaction. "Okay, Zhang Liang, I believe you can do it. This project involves the introduction and installation of new equipment, and you need to lead the team to complete it."

After Zhang Liang accepted the task, he began intensive preparations. He organized an experienced team to work overtime every day to study and prepare, striving to make every detail perfect.

One day, Zhang Liang was working hard when he heard someone knocking on the door. He opened the door and saw Jia Dongxu standing at the door with several documents in his hand.

"Zhang Liang, I'm here to bring you some information. This is the detailed information of the new equipment. Please see if there is anything you need to add." Jia Dongxu said.

Zhang Liang took the information and said gratefully: "Thank you Dongxu, these materials are very important. Let's work together to complete the project."

Jia Dongxu nodded, "Don't worry, Zhang Liang, I will do my best to cooperate."

A few days later, Zhang Liang led the team into the intense equipment installation phase. He left early and returned late every day, directing and coordinating on site to ensure that every link went smoothly. His efforts and seriousness were unanimously recognized by the team members, and everyone expressed their willingness to follow his leadership.

When Qin Huairu saw Zhang Liang, she asked with concern: "Zhang Liang, you have been very busy with work recently, right? Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Sister Qin, thank you for your concern. I have been busy recently, but our team is working well together and the progress is going smoothly."

Qin Huairu nodded. "That's good. Work is important, but your health is more important. Don't forget to rest."

Zhang Liang nodded gratefully, "I'll pay attention, Sister Qin."

Time flies, and the efforts of Zhang Liang and his team finally paid off. The new equipment was successfully installed and put into use, which greatly improved the production efficiency of the factory. The leaders and workers praised Zhang Liang's performance.

On that day, the factory held a general meeting, and the factory director commended Zhang Liang at the meeting. "Comrade Zhang Liang performed well in this project, led the team to overcome many difficulties and successfully completed the task. He is not only an outstanding employee of our factory, but also a role model for us to learn from."

Warm applause broke out from the audience, and Zhang Liang stood up, his heart filled with pride and gratitude. He knew that all this was inseparable from the support of the team and everyone's joint efforts.
