Chapter 326 Hero Commendation Meeting
Hearing the clanging and banging noises from afar, Yang Shouye came over to see what was going on.
I recognized my car immediately.
It bounced up and down after being hit by Huang Jianjun.
Yang Shouye became an instant sensation.
He rushed over and grabbed Huang Jianjun by the collar:
"Why did you smash my car?!"
"Your car? Who are you, coming to the county government compound to identify a car... Wait, you're saying this is your car?"
Huang Jianjun seems to have discovered a new continent.
He grabbed Yang Shouye: "How did your car end up here? Was it stolen?"
Yang Shouye angrily retorted, "How would I know? I asked my son to fix my car, and who knew he'd end up here!"
"Hahaha, so Lu Yao stole your car? Come on, let's go inside and expose him!"
Huang Jianjun went to great lengths to get Lu Yao.
They had to pull Yang Shouye into their partnership on short notice.
"Huh? Did Lu Yao ride here?"
"Yeah, what, you know him?"
Yang Shouye was furious, wondering how his car had ended up in Lu Yao's hands again.
He dared not confront Lu Yao, and instead grabbed Huang Jianjun:
"Stop talking nonsense and pay for my car, or I'll go to your boss."
The two of them were tugging and shoving each other outside, one stabbing the other and the other slapping him. Soon they were fighting, and both of them ended up in a sorry state.
……
Inside the auditorium, Hao Limin pulled Lu Yao aside and introduced him to some of the attending officials.
A man wearing a woolen overcoat walked by, his back slightly hunched, as if he was in some pain.
"County Chief Hao, is this the tiger-fighting hero from Shuiling?"
Hao Limin quickly introduced Lu Yao:
"Xiao Lu, you should get to know this person..."
Lu Yao didn't listen to any of the titles Hao Limin introduced next.
Without needing an introduction, Lu Yao knew who he was.
That's Shi Shouyin, whom he didn't manage to kill in the state-owned cotton mill's toilet.
Lu Yao looked at him without changing his expression.
Since Hao Limin introduced them, I extended my hand and shook hands with him.
Shi Shouyin, however, had an excited smile on his face.
He gripped Lu Yao's hands tightly: "Young man, I've heard so much about you! Lu Yao, right? Your nickname is Tuwazi! You're from Jiapigou Production Team! You recently became the production team leader, haven't you?"
Lu Yao was startled.
So this guy had already figured me out?
They actually found out so much about me!
He instinctively took a half step back and turned to the side, assuming a defensive stance.
This is Shi Shouyin's territory.
If Hao Limin were to reveal that he was an assassin, he probably wouldn't be able to save himself.
Mei Ping, who was a level below her, could only watch anxiously from the side.
She knew that Lu Yao must hate Shi Shouyin, and she hated him too, but unfortunately, no one could do anything about it.
Mei Ping was worried that Lu Yao might break Shi Shouyin's arm in a moment of impulsiveness.
There is currently no evidence that Shi Shouyin killed Zhao Jianguo. Even if there were evidence, I am not confident that I could bring him down.
Lu Yao, don't act impulsively.
Shi Shouyin smiled very warmly.
He held Lu Yao's hand with one hand and kept patting the back of Lu Yao's hand with the other:
"Young man, I never imagined you were so young! Truly, heroes have always emerged from among the young!"
Lu Yao observed his expression and saw that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
So he smiled as well:
"Director Shi, I can't compare to you. It was just luck. I hope you'll continue to guide me in the future!"
Shi Shouyin's eyes lit up: "Oh my, look at him! Not only is he talented, but he's also so humble and modest! That's rare indeed! I like young men like him; this young man and I hit it off immediately!"
As he spoke, he gave Lu Yao a big hug.
Lu Yao's humility reminded him of the arrogant and conceited Lin Dong.
If Lu Yao follows me, then with proper training, he can replace Lin Dong.
Shi Shouyin personally pulled Lu Yao to a seat and temporarily had someone move his own seat to Lu Yao's front.
This operation alone demonstrates that Shi Shouyin wielded considerable power.
He freely changed his seat, which had already been assigned in the venue.
Mei Ping sat in the audience, directly opposite Lu Yao on stage.
Lu Yao couldn't help but give Mei Ping an awkward, wry smile.
The murderer who killed Zhao Jianguo is right beside him, but there is nothing he can do for the time being.
The county leaders began to speak.
Lu Yao couldn't listen to the long speech and kept looking down at the audience.
There weren't many people; they were all leaders from various bureaus.
Of the leaders from the lower commune, only Yang Shouye from Shuiling was summoned.
With the Spring Festival approaching, we'll hold a small commendation meeting for now.
After the military awards Lu Yao the medal, another commendation ceremony will be held locally after the New Year. Militia members from all the communes will be invited to participate, and Lu Yao will be set up as an example.
Mei Ping is an acquaintance, and then look at Yang Shouye behind her.
His collar was ripped open, his hair was standing on end, and he even had bruises around his eyes.
It looks like they got into a fight.
After the county leaders finished speaking, a staff officer representing the military gave a speech.
Then, a medal was awarded to Lu Yao.
Hao Limin made a point of explaining to Lu Yao before accepting the award.
The military said it conducted a detailed investigation.
According to eyewitness accounts, Lu Yao killed fewer than ten Japanese soldiers, and whether the female Japanese soldiers among them should be killed is still controversial.
Therefore, the first-class merit award was not awarded.
Lu Yao was awarded a second-class merit.
Hao Limin spoke with a hint of apology.
It's really difficult to earn this first-class merit.
Lu Yao didn't care about empty fame, and took the opportunity to mention that his production team wanted Hao Limin to grant them the right to handle hunting independently.
There's no need to apply for this further; Hao Limin has that right.
"If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't agree. But you're different. You're a meritorious person and the captain of the Jiapigou production brigade. Everything you did was for the collective good, so I approved it."
Lu Yao was overjoyed.
With this right, the production line for Jiapigou can be developed to the greatest extent possible in this era.
When the reform and opening up had just begun and no one had the awareness of doing business, people directly took over the contracting rights, and the prototype of a commercial empire was formed.
As for whether it was a first-class merit or a second-class merit, Lu Yao didn't really care.
At that time, both the military and local communities were poor.
Most of the commendations are also forms of spiritual encouragement.
The prize money is only two hundred yuan.
It was one hundred more than what the county government gave separately.
After the awards ceremony, Lu Yao was required to give a speech on stage.
Mei Ping was worried for him.
They thought Lu Yao was young and inexperienced, and were afraid he would embarrass himself.
To everyone's surprise, when Lu Yao came on stage, he first expressed his gratitude to everyone from top to bottom, which showed his high emotional intelligence.
Of course, this kind of behavior wasn't called "emotional intelligence" at that time, as the term hadn't been coined or used yet.
However, everyone felt that Lu Yao had a certain level of eloquence.
In his brief three-minute speech, Lu Yao spoke fluently, clearly, and logically.
After Lu Yao finished speaking, Mei Ping led the applause.
However, the one who worked the hardest was Shi Shouyin, who was by Lu Yao's side.
They not only clapped, but also cheered enthusiastically.
When the meeting ended, Lu Yao shook hands with each person to say goodbye.
Shi Shouyin held his hand tightly for a long time, unwilling to let go.
Their eyes were even a little ambiguous.
Even Shi Shouyin himself was a little puzzled.
Lu Yao is a good young man, and it's true that I want to use him, but why do I like him so much and always have the urge to kiss him?
