Chapter 494 Year-end Meeting
It's getting dark.
Wang Hongtao pushed Qin Huairu beside him and said, "Why don't you get up yet? The neighbors will all get up soon!"
"Well... it's warm and comfortable here, and I don't want to get up..." Qin Huairu said lazily, then quickly turned around and stared at Wang Hongtao: "Hey, seriously, if someone really sees me walking out of your room, are you afraid?"
"Afraid? I'm afraid of the devil!" Wang Hongtao said unhappily:
"Don't even mention that you walked out of my room so early in the morning. Even if you walked out now and called me a hooligan and molested you, do you think I would be afraid?"
"You saw the guests who came to my wedding a few days ago. The security department, the police station, the street office, which stall in the three gates and six roads did I not know? Guess who will stand on the side if something really goes wrong?"
"To put it bluntly, if someone reports me now, and the report is delivered in the morning, it will be on my desk at noon. Do you believe it?"
Qin Huairu pondered for a moment and agreed with him. Just because of the leaders' enthusiasm for Wang Hongtao, she might get into trouble, but Wang Hongtao would definitely be fine.
But she just asked on impulse, and if she had any plan, she couldn't say it out loud.
Then Qin Huairu arched her back wantonly, and found a comfortable position to continue nestling: "I know you are capable, I just asked casually."
Wang Hongtao tightened his grip and said, "Then why not just go out later? If you go out now under the pretext of cooking breakfast, the neighbors won't be suspicious."
"Um…"
When the neighbors got up and washed, Qin Huairu picked up a plate of steamed buns and walked towards the central courtyard in small steps, but her steps were slightly turned outward.
When I got home, Jia Zhang had already woken up and was adding coal cakes to prepare breakfast.
Seeing Qin Huairu's rosy and radiant face, Jia Zhang couldn't help but wonder, "You...didn't you sleep all night?"
"Mom, what are you talking about? I woke up early in the morning and didn't dare to sneak back, so I just..."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to wash up first." As he said this, he took a basin of warm water and went into the house to wash up.
Jia Zhang waited for a while and saw Qin Huairu was still washing, so she couldn't help but suggest, "Huairu, why don't you take some time to get an IUD, otherwise I'll always feel uneasy."
Jia Zhang had mentioned this a year ago when Jia Dongxu had just died, but at that time the two were in the midst of an affair and Qin Huairu didn't even want to take those few days off. Later, Wang Hongtao disappeared for half a year, and Qin Huairu thought that she had no plans to find another man anyway, so she simply saved the money for the IUD.
It has been delayed until now.
After listening to Jia Zhang's suggestion, Qin Huairu had another idea, "Mom, what do you think about me giving birth to a child for him?"
"This is what I think. You see, Banggeng is only eight or nine years old now. It will take at least ten years for him to grow up. By then, I will be old and ugly. What if I am despised by others..."
"If we can have a child, we can have more love. Don't you think so?"
……
Jia Zhang hesitated for a long time, and finally said quietly: "You are talking about my beloved..."
"I won't bother you. I won't discuss this with you again."
"If you don't allow me, I'll go get the ring inserted to stop thinking about it."
"If you agree, I'll discuss it with him."
"If both of you agree, I will take a few days off during the month, give birth to the baby outside, and then come back. Then I will say that I adopted the baby from a poor relative in the countryside." Qin Huairu didn't care and continued to lobby:
"Don't blame me for thinking too much. By the time Banggeng grows up, I will be nearly 40, but my brother-in-law is only 30 years old. He is still young and energetic. He will definitely not be able to pamper me like he does now."
"This is a serious matter and we can't help but think ahead..."
"Hey..."
Jia Zhang sighed helplessly: "Don't ask me about this. I will pretend that I have never heard of it today, and I will not know anything about it in the future."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. Next time when you're in a good mood, go ask him. Anyway, he's well-off now and doesn't mind raising one or two more children." Qin Huairu also felt very happy and took the opportunity to finalize the matter.
Jia Zhang thought for a moment and added, "Let me make it clear first, Huairu, even if you give birth to a child, you can't neglect our Banggeng. You must know that Banggeng is the orthodox family of our Jia family."
"Don't worry, Mom. I gave birth to Banggeng with great difficulty and loved him since he was a child. No one can let him down." Qin Huairu answered without hesitation: "Even if I am old and out of favor by then, the child is his own after all. I can't treat him badly. It's good for Banggeng to have a brother or sister to help him, isn't it?"
Jia Zhang nodded in agreement: "You have to take charge of this matter. Mom is old, and I don't think she will live to see Banggeng grow up. I hope things will turn out as you wish, so that I can face Banggeng's grandfather and Dongxu."
Qin Huairu blushed: "Mom, why are you talking about that? It's so scary..."
"I want to make you panic and scare you, so that you won't do anything reckless. You even dare to stay at someone else's house. From now on..."
"Oh, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to work. I'll keep these steamed buns for you and the kids. Now I'm leaving!"

Steel rolling mill.
This day was the day of the factory's annual meeting, and it also marked the end of 62 years of work.
The workers were busy shutting down machines, cleaning, and counting supplies early in the morning. After finishing the work at hand, they ran to the playground to attend a general workers' meeting.
The leaders were also busy preparing the venue and preparing speeches for the year-end meeting.
The salary was received on New Year's Eve, but the year-end benefits were not distributed until after the year-end meeting. After all, there are still various awards such as advanced workers and outstanding workers to be selected.
You can only officially have a holiday after you receive your benefits. This is better than last year, when you have five days off.
On the podium,
The one sitting in the main seat was naturally Secretary Nie, with a friendly smile and a kind attitude, sitting very steadily, giving people the feeling that everything was under control;
Li Huaide sat on his left, and the two shared the C position. They were energetic, passionate, and looked very motivated.
Secretary Nie usually doesn't take charge of affairs. He only appears when there are major decisions to be made or when things concern the steel rolling mill. For example, he would naturally show up at today's year-end meeting, and be the first to speak.
Secretary Nie, Director Li, Deputy Director Ma and other key figures all took the microphone to speak, some for a few minutes and some for nearly half an hour. It didn't matter if those standing far away couldn't hear, because the loudspeakers would transmit the sound to every corner of the venue.
What he said were basically just polite words, but the workers felt their blood boiling and their fighting spirit was high. To sum it up in two words: looking back on the past and looking forward to the future, although the conditions were difficult, the comrades worked very hard and everyone did a good job in the past year. I hope everyone will continue to work hard next year and strive to create greater glories.
After the leaders finished speaking, there was applause from the audience, but the most exaggerated came from the group of middle-level cadres in the front row. They clapped their hands so hard that they were about to break. Especially when the leaders on the stage glanced at them, they raised their hands high with fanatical expressions, as if they were afraid that the leaders would not see them.
After that, it was time for the much-anticipated award ceremony.
The advanced workers were the first to come on stage to receive their awards. Wang Hongtao, the second on the list of advanced workers and one of the three representatives who gave speeches, was seen wearing a neat Zhongshan suit with a pen in his pocket, looking full of energy and spirit.
"Now, please invite the representative of advanced workers, Comrade Wang Hongtao, deputy director of the Labor and Capital Section, to give a speech."
Secretary Nie announced.
