Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Listening to Li Huaide's miserable voice on the phone, he thought about the wild ginseng he had just obtained.

"Okay, welcome the leaders of the steel rolling mill to visit our factory and give us guidance."

Although the words sounded nice, Li Huaide knew that Chen Changan was giving him face.

But even if I don’t tell anyone about what’s happening at home.

With Chen Changan's ability, he can also know it very clearly.

I have already lost face, so this time won't matter.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Changan remembered that he might also need to prepare a song for such an event.

The last time I held such an event was when I held a social gathering at the motorcycle factory and the textile factory. At that time, I was forced to sing a song.

Since there was no preparation at that time, Chen Changan just opened his mouth and sang a song for the motherland.

This time, Chen Changan plans to prepare a song first. What if he is really asked to perform on stage?

Can't we go on stage and sing a song for the motherland again? In this car factory, there are still many people who remember that they sang this song in the past.

Then the Propaganda Department announced through the loudspeaker that tonight’s welcome party would be held.

It can be said that the workers at the automobile factory were in joy throughout the whole day.

In the past, entertainment activities included watching performances by art troupes and watching movies.

At most, we would watch crosstalk, street performers, and acrobatics.

No one can participate in it by themselves.

But this time it’s different, I also want to participate in it.

Some people heard on the broadcast that there would be rewards for going on stage, so they got excited and decided to go on stage just for the reward.

I just reported my name in a hurry.

Now that I've calmed down, I immediately regret it.

Normally, let alone a workshop meeting, even a team meeting, he would not dare to say a word when asked to speak in front of 10 or 20 people.

Or the voice is even quieter than that of a mosquito.

Or he would become a stutterer and take a long time to finish a sentence.

This is a performance in front of tens of thousands of people? Forget it, I would rather not take the reward.

How can it not matter if the performance is good or bad?

Of course, those of you who are just watching the fun don't care. If you mess up on stage, will you still have the face to stay in the factory?

I thought that if I said something wrong, I would fail in the performance and be laughed at by tens of thousands of people.

He hasn't even gone on stage yet, but his feet are already starting to become uncontrollable.

As a result, Hou Yan, who was in charge of the Propaganda Department, was a little worried and felt that so many programs needed to be cut.

Otherwise, with so many programs, how much time would it take for everyone to perform on stage one by one?

Before the screening started, a large group of people came from the Propaganda Department.

"Director Hou, I went back and thought about it and felt that my program was not very good.

I still don’t want to participate in the show. It’s actually quite nice to be an audience member and watch the performance.”

Hou Yan didn't react for a moment. This guy was the one who made the loudest noise when they signed up.

"That's not what you said when you signed up this morning.

I remember very clearly that you said at the time that if you were not allowed to perform, you would regret it for the rest of your life.

He also said that your program is really the best program in the whole factory. You are sure to win the first prize bicycle.

Why don't you want a bicycle now? Is it because bicycles are not good?

Are you planning to ask the factory to reward you with a car?

It's not that I look down on you. Our factory produces cars, but you should at least be able to drive this car away, right?

Let’s not even talk about whether or not an individual can own a car. It’s not certain whether your monthly salary is enough to cover the gas money for the car.”

Hou Yan's conversation made the man's face turn red.

"Director Hou, please stop talking, I don't think my show is very good.

Just remove my program and I don’t want the bicycle anymore.”

After saying this, he ran out of the Propaganda Department with a red face.

This guy likes to follow the trend in everything he does.

When I was registering, I saw other people registering and I was afraid that I would fall behind.

No matter if there is a program or not, just sign up first. It won't hurt to sign up anyway.

But then I thought, where is the show for me? Even if I can barely sing a few songs.

But if I were to stand in front of tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to sing well.

There is only one bicycle, so it is definitely not my turn.

I saw someone go to the Publicity Department to cross out his or her own program.

They started to swarm over and ask Hou Yan to cross out their own programs as well.

Hou Yan was also happy about this.

After all, it was a party with hundreds of people signing up, and half of them were singing. That was fine.

What’s even more speechless is that hundreds of people were preparing to sing the same song.

How is this possible?

Even if these people don't come to cancel their registration, Hou Yan will still eliminate them.

Even if the party prepared by Chen Changan was an entertainment activity.

There should be some quality, right? Even if there are 100 people on stage, everyone is singing the same song. What's the point?

But after all, it is a large company with tens of thousands of employees, and there are still many people who have some unique skills.

There were opera singers, drummers, sword and stick dancers, crosstalk performers, and jugglers.

Someone even performed the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave for Hou Yan on the spot.

Unfortunately, even in the wonderful Three Immortals Returning Cave, it is difficult to be taken seriously.

The most important reason is that there are too many people at the evening party. For this kind of performance, without a TV, many people can’t see clearly what you are performing.

Therefore, when Hou Yan selects programs, she mainly focuses on themes such as poetry recitation, songs, and crosstalk.

When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Hou Yan found Chen Changan.

"Director Chen, the program list is ready. Do you have anything to add?"

Chen Changan looked at a long row of program schedules and asked with a frown.

"So many programs? We have so many people in our factory. There are too many singing programs.

Let's delete a few of them. There are only a few songs in the album. They become boring after listening to them a few times.

Our party this time is still mainly for entertainment. The fewer programs, the better.

Don’t hold the New Year’s Eve party too late.”

Hou Yan nodded when he heard this.

There was nothing wrong with what Chen Changan said. Chen Changan's original intention was to entertain everyone.

That's just two or three hours, no more.

Otherwise, by midnight, many people won’t know whether they can get home.

After figuring it out, Hou Yan crossed out several identical singing programs in succession.

Then he remembered something and asked.

"Would Director Chen like to go on stage and perform something?"

Chen Changan immediately waved his hand.

"I'm just a young man, what talent do I have? I don't know anything, so what can I perform?

Do you want me to make a fool of myself on stage? Make my image as a factory director plummet in the workers' minds, right? "

"I think I've heard you sing before, and it's pretty good. I was just asking casually, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Although it was just a casual question, Hou Yan actually wrote a line on the program.

The song is sung solo by Chen Changan.
