The Era of Hard Work

In Ningxiu Cinema, the billiard tables in front of the door had already been cleaned up, and all the posters of Jack and Rousi were removed.

Today, banners are hung high, colorful flags are fluttering, and red flags are flying.

Same weal and woe, share weal and woe, unite the cadres and the masses to tide over the difficulties!

Stand together through thick and thin, build a home together!

Similar slogans can be seen everywhere, adding a bit of solemnity to the old theater.

Wearing the clothes he bought yesterday, Lu Dong followed behind Lu Zhenlin, entered the theater through the side door, and went directly to the office area behind.

There were many people, most of whom Lu Dong didn't know.

In a room with the words Ningxiu Town on the door, Lu Dong met Yang Liewen and the town's cadres and officers.

There are a few more, obviously from other villages.

Among all the people, Lu Dong was the youngest.

The officer who was received by the town government last time came over, found Lu Dong, and handed over a note, emphatically reminding: Write it down, if you are asked to speak after the commendation, just say this. No, don't talk nonsense.

Understood. Lu Dong took the note, which was full of flat and steady formulas.

In the following occasions, clichés are also the most appropriate.

Although he is a scumbag, just in case, Lu Dong tried his best to memorize it, and he didn't say a few words in total.

Lu Dong had never experienced a similar occasion before, so he made up his mind before coming here, listen more, watch more, and talk less.

For him, it is to accept the award, and if he does not talk nonsense, he will not make mistakes.

As for whether the county TV station will interview, the town will definitely communicate in advance. The TV station belongs to the county, so it must abide by the overall situation of the whole county.

Lu Dong found a place to sit down, thinking about what material rewards he could get.

In order to participate in the commendation meeting, I made a lot of investment. The white T-shirt, long pants and black sneakers I wore today were all specially bought from Daji, which cost forty-five yuan.

The school uniform was too old, so Mayor Yang called the third grandfather specifically to prevent him from wearing the school uniform.

Lu Dong can understand.

Those soccer jerseys, not for the occasion.

According to Lu Dong's idea, clothes can be cheap, but they should be worn on different occasions, which is not only respecting others, but also respecting oneself.

The meeting was about to start, and the publicity officer came in and greeted the people from Ningxiu Town to enter.

When going out, Yang Liewen passed by Lu Dong, showing the easy-going leadership: Don't be nervous.

Lu Dong politely smiled back.

The old-fashioned movie theater is very large and can accommodate thousands of people. Lu Dong followed behind Lu Zhenlin. As soon as he entered the gate, there was the sound of music with the characteristics of the times.

...I always want to tell you how much I love life, hardworking and brave Chinese, enter the new era with high spirits...

Led by the staff, Lu Dong was placed in the second row. Before he sat down, someone confirmed his identity and brought a red ribbon to help him wear it.

Advanced Individual in Flood Fighting and Disaster Relief!

Just after putting it on, a man in a police uniform came over and patted Lu Dong on the shoulder: Dongzi.

Lu Dong was surprised: Brother.

Lu Chun also wears a red ribbon with the same words.

I'm a party member. Lu Chun said in a low voice: Many university towns have been flooded, so of course we rush ahead if something happens.

Lu Dong thinks that Lu Chun is the deputy director, because his education is almost improved, so he can roughly figure it out.

As leaders came in one after another, Lu Chun needed to return to the area where the police team was located, and told him in a low voice, You can do whatever you want, don't mess around.

Lu Dong said, Don't worry, I know the seriousness.

On such an occasion, if you dare to make trouble, don't blame people for wearing small shoes behind them.

Lu Dong was sitting in the second row. No one was talking around him, so he kept his mouth shut. Looking around, there seemed to be TV stations and reporters with cameras.

Then, on the side of the rostrum facing Lu Dong obliquely, there were several tables with trays and some things on them.

Red book!

Golden trophy!

Seeing these two things, Lu Dong's face turned green!

You can guess without looking.

The red book is a certificate of honor, and the golden trophy with a red ribbon is a material reward...

Isn't this too pitiful?

In the back, Yang Liewen was going to sit in the front row.

The town's publicity officer trotted over and said in a low voice, The Evening News has a reporter.

Yang Liewen turned his head to look at the entrance of the theater, and saw people from the county's propaganda outlet, accompanied by a few strange faces, the first one was a young woman with black-rimmed glasses and a red mole on her chin.

This is the reporter from the evening paper.

The conference will start soon. Of course, this kind of meeting will not be creative and innovative. Leaders will speak, representatives of advanced units will speak, advanced individuals will speak, and so on.

After an indefinite amount of time, Lu Dong's dazed mind came to his senses, and the meeting began to commend the advanced people who emerged from the flood.

Lujia Village has become an advanced village group for flood fighting and disaster relief in Qingzhao County!

Lu Dong's green face turned a little normal, because the trophies are awarded to units, not to individuals.

Then, Lu Dong's face returned to normal, and he even laughed.

Someone on the rostrum announced that in order to commend and motivate good people and good deeds, advanced individuals will be rewarded with 500 yuan each!

A staff member reminded that more than a dozen people, including Lu Dong, entered the rostrum from the left.

Leaders shook hands one by one, awarded honorary certificates and bonuses.

This is the first of its kind in Qingzhao County. It seems that the only one who gave honorary certificates and bonuses in the past was the annual green onion champion.

With honor and material incentives, ordinary people will have more confidence in doing good deeds.

Below the rostrum, where the Evening News reporters were located, Fang Yan adjusted her glasses to make sure she read correctly.

It's not wrong, there is a name named Lu Dong in the commendation list just announced!

This is interesting, a young man on the bus who is brave enough to expose antique scams to the media, or an advanced individual who fights floods and rescues floods that occur once in 50 years in Qingzhao County?

Fang Yan smelled big news by virtue of her professionalism.

This Lu Dong really surprises people everywhere!

Fang Yan said to the Qingzhao County publicist: Can I meet Lu Dong after the meeting?

Do you know Lu Dong? the man asked.

Fang Yan simply explained: Lu Dong helped me in a news report.

It's not that he ran over to make a surprise attack in private, but cooperated with the county's propaganda, and of course he wouldn't refuse: I'll take you there.

Leaving from the side of the rostrum, Lu Dong stuffed the bonus into his pocket. Counting the things he sold yesterday, his personal assets rose to more than 1,900 yuan.

The county is very powerful, very generous, not bad...

The funds increased step by step, and the capital became more and more abundant.

Lu Chun came from behind and asked, How do you feel?

Lu Dongzheng said: This heavy honor has made me more motivated.

With bonuses, of course, there is motivation.

Suddenly a voice called him: Lu Dong.

Hearing a somewhat familiar female voice, Lu Dong saw an acquaintance, and was a little surprised: Reporter Fang?

Fang Yan smiled and said, I'm here to report on this commendation meeting. She pointed to the people around her: Let's find a quiet place to talk?

Lu Dong looked towards the end of the corridor: There are few people over there.

Lu Chun looked at Lu Dong, and then at the female reporter with the hang tag. He couldn't understand what was going on, and worried that Lu Dong would suffer, so he followed.

Fang Yan looked at Lu Chun, wearing the police uniform sash, and asked politely: Are you...

Lu Dong introduced: My elder brother, Lu Chun. Elder brother, this is Fang Yan, a reporter from the Evening News.

Hello. Lu Chun greeted quite politely.

Fang Yan responded with a smile, and looked at Lu Chun calmly, with a police uniform and a ribbon, and there are advanced individuals on it. Isn't this family simple?

At the end of the corridor, the wind blows in through the open windows, and the fresh air dispels the sweltering heat.

I haven't seen you for a few days, Lu Dong, you have become an advanced person. Fang Yan looked at the ribbon on Lu Dong's body.

Lu Dong smiled: There was a flood in my hometown some time ago, but I didn't really do anything.

Interlude. Lu Chun looked at Fang Yan: How do you know each other?

In his perception, journalists are difficult to deal with, so Lu Dong should stop letting people be used as gunmen.

Lu Dong didn't hide anything, and said something quickly, as if Lu Chun just knew him: I had a meeting in Quannan two days ago, and it was rumored in the system that there was a young master who drove poisonous bugs to catch thieves, and even named him a strange bug boy. I didn't expect it to be you!

Strange bug boy? Fang Yan answered, That's a good name.

Lu Dong smiled embarrassedly: I was afraid of danger, so I threw all the bugs and leeches in my hand on the thief's head.

Fang Yan interjected, Lu Dong, the application for the bonus for news clues you provided has been submitted.

Lu Dong immediately became interested and asked, How much?

Fang Yan didn't bring her purse: 100. My purse is in the car and I'll bring it to you later.

Lu Dong was inevitably disappointed: It's only 100.

100 because the news is important. Fang Yan simply explained: Ordinary news leads have very little money.

Lu Chun knew what they were talking about, and his focus was different from Lu Dong's, so he asked, Have you investigated clearly? Want to publish it in the newspaper?

Fang Yan said: It was published in the newspaper today, and the relevant departments are processing it.

A media like the Evening News has never existed independently, and the overall situation must be taken into account when reporting important events.

Lu Dong didn't read the newspapers, but he was relieved after hearing Fang Yan's words. Since he sold the scammers to the newspaper, he certainly didn't want to see them end well.

Although 100 yuan was a little less, he just moved his lips.

The key is that 600 yuan has been credited to the account today!

Fang Yan had a conversation with Lu Chun, mainly about the antique scam, and then turned back to Lu Dong.

Fang Yan benefited a lot from this antique hoax report, especially by directly suppressing her old competitor Taidong Weekly, which made her noticed by the newspaper's upper management.

Although the report appeared in the newspapers today, she has gained more autonomy and can act alone.

Lu Dong, you are brave enough to catch pickpockets, provide clues to expose the scam, and you are an advanced individual in fighting floods. Fang Yan sincerely invited: Accept an interview with the Evening News, and I will write a report for you, how about it?

In front of Lu Chun, Lu Dong was embarrassed to ask if he would be paid, and knowing that the town and county might be involved, he couldn't just agree.

Just in time, when I caught a glimpse of someone with a propaganda outlet bringing Yang Liewen over, I immediately raised my voice and said, Reporter Fang, I have to ask the mayor for instructions on this kind of interview...

All these words fell into the ears of Yang Liewen who was walking over. Except for his academic performance, Yang Liewen had always had a good impression of Lu Dong in other aspects, and now he felt that he knew the generalities.

Reporter Fang, hello, hello. Yang Liewen stepped forward to shake hands with Fang Yan: Why are you here? Let's talk in another place?

Fang Yan glanced at Lu Dong, he was really slick.

Yang Liewen was very enthusiastic. After inviting Fang Yan, he shook hands with Lu Chun and even praised Lu's village.

A deputy from the county's publicity office also came, and Lu Dong was very conscious and stepped aside.

Fang Yan was invited into a room alone by the propagandist and Yang Liewen. Fang Yan talked about what happened before, and described what happened since she got to know Lu Dong all the time.

Yang Liewen was a little dazed, and the thoughts that had been put down because of the college entrance examination results came up again.

Bad grades, one thing alone may not be convincing, but add two?

It is also his achievement to have a typical character in the town!

It's almost time for Lao Liang, but when Lao Liang retires, he, an outsider, will definitely be able to take over?

Ask for a recommendation ticket! Ask for collection! beg
