Siheyuan: Since 51

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill normally opens at 8 o'clock.

Last Saturday, Lin Zhiyuan gave a work plan and specifically instructed the Propaganda Department to arrive at work half an hour early.

A little after seven o'clock, Lin Zhiyuan was the first to enter the Propaganda Department, followed closely by the other three women.

The four of them came to the broadcasting room together.

As time was tight, Lin Zhiyuan didn't waste any words and spoke briefly and to the point.

“Propaganda work must be regularized.

From now on, propaganda broadcasts will be conducted at 7:45 am every working day.

My requirements are not high, just a patriotic song and an inspiring speech.”

After returning home, the three girls read Lin Zhiyuan's work plan carefully and all of them agreed with it.

However, since there was no preparation and it was implemented directly, different opinions arose.

Dong Linlin frowned slightly, "Lin Ke, are we going to start today? Isn't that a bit hasty? How about we wait for two days and get ready!"

Chu Xiaoying nodded vigorously, "Lin Ke, I also think we shouldn't be anxious."

Xiao Tingting didn't say anything, just stared at Lin Zhiyuan.

“Don’t think about it so complicatedly.”

Lin Zhiyuan smiled, took out a piece of paper and handed it to the three women.

"Look, there are only a few dozen words like this. Is it difficult?"

The three girls read it silently, all with relaxed expressions.

Dong Linlin said confidently: "If it's a short sentence like this, I have no problem with it."

Chu Xiaoying smiled and said, "I can remember it after reading it several times, let alone reading it according to the script, so I have no problem with that!"

Lin Zhiyuan pointed to the vinyl record on the table.

"I have also prepared the records. Xiaoying, adjust the phonograph and go get ready."

The phonograph was moved to the radio station. Chu Xiaoying wound the spring, wound it up, and tested the sound.

"Lin Ke, get ready."

Time passed by minute by minute. Xiao Tingting, who was staring at the watch on her wrist, suddenly reminded: "There are still fifteen seconds left. Get ready."

At seven forty-five, Chu Xiaoying turned on the radio and the phonograph on time.

"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the singing of victory is so loud..."

In an instant, the singing echoed over the entire steel mill, and all the workers in the factory were stunned.

"Where did the singing come from?"

"You're stupid! The sound coming from the loudspeaker must be the broadcast!"

"Be quiet and listen carefully!"

……

After a brief period of noise, the workers in different locations fell into silence again.

The chorus started again and someone began to hum along.

"The five-star red flag flutters in the wind..."

More and more people joined in, and it became a chorus.

At the end of the song, Chu Xiaoying's voice was heard.

"Good morning, dear fellow workers.

The prosperity of our motherland comes from the efforts and perseverance of every Chinese son and daughter.

Patriotism starts with the little things and begins with doing your job well.

It’s time to set sail and forge ahead to climb higher.

Comrades, it’s a new day, let’s roll up our sleeves and work hard! "

After the broadcast, turn off the microphone.

Chu Xiaoying was so excited when she heard the sound outside the window just now that she could no longer control herself.

"Lin Ke, the response is so enthusiastic!"

"It was the first time, and the gays found it novel. Plus, the song was so charming, that it caused such a big sensation."

After saying that, Lin Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "This is just a small part of ideological construction. Let's have the meeting next door."

next door.

The three women took their seats, Lin Zhiyuan took out his notebook and began to lecture.

“Let me tell you about my understanding of propaganda work, and then we can discuss it.

First, ideological construction. Publicize the organization's principles and raise the ideological awareness of comrades.

Secondly, cultural construction: organize cultural and entertainment activities to enrich the spare time of comrades and enhance the sense of collective honor.

Secondly, education and construction. Coordinate with the workshops to train comrades in business skills, safe production, and professional qualities.

Finally, image building, including but not limited to receiving outsiders, displaying production results and the spirit of employees.

Our factory has been reorganized for more than three months. We cannot let the publicity work stagnate just because the workload is heavy and the factory leaders are too busy to attend to it.

Next, let’s start discussing each one in detail…”

The Propaganda Department is in a meeting, and the factory party committee is also in a meeting.

Dong Xiuqi spoke nonchalantly, as if joking.

"Comrade Lin Zhiyuan seems to be in high spirits at work! He reported for duty last Saturday, so today is his first day in charge of publicity!"

Chu Chen continued, "That's right. My efforts have paid off. With Comrade Lin Zhiyuan here, I believe the propaganda work will be carried out quickly."

Li Huaide echoed, "Comrade Lin Zhiyuan has a high level of ideological awareness and a positive work attitude. This is what we expected."

Xiao Heyu chuckled, "I have never met Comrade Lin Zhiyuan, but judging from the things that happened before, he is indeed a good comrade."

Security Section Chief Chen Zhongliang raised his eyebrows and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "You are very hardworking. I like it."

"The format is good, but the song selection is a little flawed. Director Chu, you and Comrade Lin Zhiyuan should communicate more after the meeting."

Seeing that no one expressed their concerns, Dong Xiuqi made a comment and put the blame on Chu Chen.

Chu Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, Director."

The factory party committee adjourned the meeting and the Propaganda Department also ended its discussion.

Lin Zhiyuan was just about to go to the publicity column with Xiao Tingting when someone notified Chu Chen to look for him.

Unable to figure out Chu Chen's intention, Lin Zhiyuan took the work plan with him.

"Director Chu, you're looking for me?"

Leaning back in his chair, playing with his pen, Chu Chen looked at Lin Zhiyuan for a long time before speaking slowly.

"Okay, Xiaolin, that's pretty quick. Any other plans?"

Lin Zhiyuan quickly handed over the work plan, "Director Chu, this is the first draft. I wanted to sort it out before giving it to you. As for the publicity work, I plan to start first, and then slowly improve the details that have not been considered."

After taking the plan and reading it, Chu Chen praised: "Not bad, very comprehensive consideration."

Then, he changed the subject, "But wasn't your song choice today a little ill-considered?"

"No, the song 'Singing the Motherland' has a bright and majestic rhythm, which embodies the voice of patriotism, the heart of the people, and the soul of the nation. It is a rare patriotic song. It is neither left nor right, but the most positive."

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's confidence, and the responsibility already falling on him, Chu Chen hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Just go ahead and do it. I'll take the pressure for you. I hope you're right."

For the following period of time, there was a heated debate about whether "Singing the Motherland" was biased to the right.

Dong Xiuqi was looking forward to upgrading the steel mill and getting promoted accordingly, and he didn't want any complications. He tried his best to shirk responsibility at several party committee meetings, which put Chu Chen under great pressure.

As the instigator, Lin Zhiyuan didn't take it to heart at all.

Collaborated with Xiao Tingting to differentiate the three propaganda boards.

The entrance door was changed to a safety warning; the one downstairs of the office building was changed to an organizational document notification; and the entrance of the cafeteria was changed to a moral literacy education.

He has even started preparing for the National Day celebration with his three daughters.

Until September 9, August 12, Qin Huairu’s birthday.

This piece of news not only dealt a heavy blow to Dong Xiuqi's prestige, but also made Chu Chen proud.
