The Era of Hard Work

The black Santana drove into the compound of the city TV station. Through the car window, Lu Dong saw the front of the TV station building with a red banner raised high.

This event was originally hosted by the Municipal Youth League Committee and the Evening News, but at the request of the propaganda department, the Municipal TV Station also joined in later.

Director Zhao made a special trip to accompany Lu Dong, and said with a smile: Don't be nervous, didn't you participate in the county commendation meeting? What did you do then, and what you will do today. He reminded: Before the live broadcast, there is one last rehearsal , you follow up and walk around, do as required, just don’t mess around.”

Of course Lu Dong would not be so stupid as to feel uncomfortable, and said: I know, I will definitely not mess around.

Everyone is here, the honor is about to be obtained, and you can do whatever you want.

Director Zhao parked the car and accompanied Lu Dong into the TV station building, where special personnel came to receive him.

As soon as he entered the front hall of the building, he was greeted immediately.

Xiao Zhao, you are here. This person was about the same age as Yang Liewen, with the unique temperament of a public office worker, Xiao Zhao hurried forward to shake hands: Leader, I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

The man smiled and waved his hands: I live in Quannan, just across the road. He looked at Lu Dong, and his smile became friendly and natural: Lv Dong, I have admired your name for a long time.

Xiao Zhao hurriedly introduced: This is Secretary Wang of the County Youth League Committee.

Wang Zheng was also a cadre who came to Qingzhao from Quannan, and said: When Lao Yang first told me about you, you were just an advanced individual in the county's flood fighting. During this time, you have made a lot of achievements. Our Qingzhao pride.

Lu Dong didn't dare to take these words seriously, and quickly said modestly, I just did some small things within my power.

Wang Zheng said with a smile: Excessive modesty is pride. You deserve this honor today. He said implicitly: This shows that the team building work of our Qingzhao is very effective.

Lu Dong was not stupefied, so he could understand: Yes! I am very grateful for the help and training of the league organization.

When they came, Director Zhao revealed that they would be ranked among the top ten in the end, and the county league also contributed a lot.

Wang Zheng nodded to Lu Dong, and said, Old Yang is right, he is a talent.

In any case, Qingzhao has produced a member of Quannan's top ten outstanding league members, and the achievements of the county league are real.

Wang Zheng said a few words and went to other places.

A TV station staff came to receive Lu Dong, led him into a large conference room, and explained the specific procedures to him in detail. There will be a rehearsal in the afternoon, which will be broadcast live to the whole city through the TV station in the evening.

In fact, it's nothing, just follow the prescribed process, say what should be said, and shut up what should not be said.

At this time, the whole process is unfavorable, and it is time to be unfavorable later.

After figuring out the process, the TV station staff was very enthusiastic and said, Don't be nervous, the lines are all written for you, if you can't do it, go on stage and recite.

Lu Dong knew that people had good intentions, so he said, Thank you.

The TV station staff pointed to a corner of the conference room: There's mineral water over there, go get it when you're thirsty, I'll see if anyone else is here.

Lu Dong was also polite, and went to get a bottle of water. The TV station staff had just left when the door of the meeting room opened. Fang Yan came with a middle-aged woman in her forties.

Sister Fang. Lu Dong quickly got up and called for someone.

Fang Yan's long hair was cut short last time, she may have put on makeup today, and her fair skin made the red mole on her chin more conspicuous.

Sister Zhang, this is Lu Dong. Fang Yan quickly introduced: Lv Dong, my name is Sister Zhang, and I am the leader.

He is older than Hu Chunlan, but Fang Yan introduced it this way, and Lu Dong called him that, and said, Hello, Miss Zhang.

Sister Zhang looks serious, a bit like Teacher Li Mingqi: I've heard the name of the strange boy for a long time.

Fang Yan intentionally drew the relationship between the two parties, and jokingly said: People from the Youth League Committee said that Lu Dong used powerful cold medicine to kill two wanted criminals in University City, and the police station in University City called him the leader of the Five Poison Sect.

Lu Dong was helpless, that's great! The reputation is about to go out of Qingzhao and spread to Quannan.

Sister Zhang laughed: I've also heard that, Lu Dong, you did a great job. People like you are positive models that should be vigorously promoted. I will do an exclusive interview later, and Fang Yan will do it. Look... ...

Evening News made great efforts on his matter, and it was impossible to refuse, Lu Dong said with a smile: Okay, I am in the University City, Sister Fang knows, you can come to me anytime.

Two days ago, Bei Xiangrong said with a big mouth that there was a female reporter in the Evening News who traveled to the university town very frequently.

Lu Chun bought a house, and the two of them are not too young, maybe they will make things clear years ago.

Sister Zhang said in the way of encouragement that is often used in this era: Lu Dong, work hard, you can shine in any line of work, and look forward to your new achievements.

I will work hard. Lu Dong said seriously.

In fact, he doesn't want to meet certain things and people again, such as scammers, wanted criminals, thieves and so on.

Who has nothing to want to deal with these people.

But when I think about it carefully, I feel helpless. With the general social environment these days, it is very difficult not to encounter some bullshit people or things when you go out to work hard.

A person with such a sense of justice like him can't pretend not to see it when he encounters it.

Fang Yan and Sister Zhang didn't stay long, and went to other places. Some staff led today's protagonists in one after another. Ten people arrived soon. Lu Dong took a look. There were eight men and two women, most of whom were in their twenties. next year.

It is also a rare experience for young people to get together and chat a few words, and to be commended together.

Except for Lu Dong, everyone else is from a large unit, the postal system, the banking system, a certain department, etc.

As we all know, to be able to go to the end in this kind of pure official recognition, first of all, there must be achievements, and secondly, there must be support from the unit.

Or is it more appropriate to reverse the two?

Most of the people in the unit got together, chatted a few words, and exchanged contact information.

The public sector can take the lead, which one is not a human being, and this is also a good opportunity to expand interpersonal relationships.

Here, we all pay attention to finding someone in advance.

If you don't look for someone, it's good to have an ugly face and a bad word, and it's not surprising that things don't work out.

When Lu Dong chatted with someone together, he could feel an inconspicuous but real rejection.

It can only be said that if you don’t go to a certain point, you can’t get in some circles even if you want to.

Afterwards, Lu Dong followed the procedure, and he did whatever was arranged for him, and it was impossible for the commendation program to be broadcast live to the whole society.

Not long after, someone handed over a manuscript to Lu Dong. It may have been written by a TV station's copywriter.

Write it down! The staff reminded again: I can't say it at that time, just like memorizing a text, you can just recite it directly.

Lu Dong replied, Okay!

He remembered it very seriously, and he had never memorized things so seriously in school.

After going through the process in the afternoon, during dinner, Wang Zheng and Director Zhao came to visit Lu Dong specifically to cheer him on.

When it comes to writing, Lu Dong is useless, but when it comes to stage fright, that's not the case.

In his eyes, no matter how good the camera lens is, it is no more terrifying than the flood or Chokli.

Before the commendation meeting started, a big leader came over and shook hands with ten people side by side.

Ten young men, wearing white shirts and red ribbons, were all sitting in the first row of the studio.

This time, Lu Dong no longer cared about whether the bonus was a bonus, because he knew very well that the certificate that was about to be awarded to him was far more important than the bonus.

The top ten certificates are very likely to allow him to obtain an important identity, at least in Qingzhao County.

As a humble citizen working hard at the bottom, I forgive Lu Dong for his narrow individualistic thinking.

Lu Dong has always been very clear-headed, he wants to be a good person, but he is not a good person without restrictions.

...

In Lujia Village, in the courtyard of the brigade, Li Lin rode a tricycle and brought the largest color TV in the village.

Lu Jianren hurried over, carried the TV set with Li Lin, moved it to the large table in the brigade yard, connected it to the electricity with a plug strip, and asked the red star who temporarily erected the outdoor antenna to come along the line, connected it and turned it on. TV, adjust the direction of the outdoor antenna.

People came in one after another carrying Maza and stools.

Nail ran in from the outside and said to Lu Lanlan behind, Sister Lan Lan, Brother Dong really wants to be on TV?

Lu Lanlan, who was in junior high school, was already sensible, and said, Really! My class teacher said that among the graduates of Ningxiu Middle School, there is a great hero!

Brother Dong is a great hero? Nail kept scratching his head.

The people taught by his father can become great heroes. Isn't this TV station unreliable?

There were more and more people in the courtyard of the brigade, and Lu Zhenlin also came. If Lu's village can produce a role model, he has a bright face.

Hu Chunlan and Li Min entered the courtyard of the brigade together, and people came to say hello one after another.

...

Provincial University, Song Na sat in the lecture theater facing the TV, patiently waiting for the program to start.

Next to her, Huang Juan flipped through the novel boredly: It's a great time, what's wrong with watching this kind of show? She wanted to leave: Let's go to the playground, maybe we can have a romantic encounter.

Song Na smiled: I want to go to you, I want to watch the show.

Strange! Huang Juan turned her head to look at Song Na's face that was gradually turning pale: You little money fanatic who only knows how to make money, when did you care about such things? The top ten outstanding members have nothing to do with us.

Song Na whispered, One of them is my classmate.

Huang Juan became interested in an instant: Male and female? Have I seen it?

He was on TV in a while, Song Na said truthfully: You have seen it, I took you to him to buy daily necessities and braised pork biscuits.

He? Huang Juan couldn't believe it: Just a small vendor in the market? A member of the top ten regiments? How is this possible.

Song Na thought of what Lu Dong had done, and said, What he has done, few people in our school can compare to.

Huang Juan inevitably has the pride of college students in this era: A small businessman?

Song Na didn't argue with her, she didn't think it was necessary.

...

At the Provincial University, Li Wenyue came out a little late because he was doing a project with his tutor, so he bought some food and came to the lecture hall. Fortunately, there were not many people and there were many empty seats.

Are you Li Wenyue? Someone asked suddenly.

Li Wenyue went to see it, and recognized a former cadre of the student union, who was also an alumnus of a senior high school, and said, It's me.

The man stood up and stretched out his right hand, which was rarely used among the students. It took a while for Li Wen to react, and he shook hands with him quickly.

I'm Yang Guoqiang. The man smiled and invited: We fellow villagers, let's watch together?

It was difficult for Li Wen to refuse: Okay.
