Chapter 107: Applause erupted
Zuo Jiang rarely ate Western food in his previous life, even if he had eaten so many times, it was not authentic, these days in the Western restaurant on the first floor of the Great Wall Hotel after eating a few authentic French classic Western food, he liked this thing, except for breakfast every time he proposed to eat French Western food, but Tao Fei only allowed him to eat Western food at noon, and basically Chinese food at night.
Hearing Bai Xiaoyi say that Cheng Guoqiang was going to come over to eat Western food with them at noon, Zuo Jiang was very happy, because Cheng Guoqiang was too busy to see him these days, since he had time to have lunch together today, Zuo Jiang wanted to push off the Western food and go to the Yuntai restaurant on the top floor to thank him, people have helped so much, please eat Western food is always a little informal.
Tao Fei also means this, but Bai Xiaoyi really insists on eating Western food, she said: "Since you have ordered food, don't return, Cheng Guoqiang has never been to any high-end restaurant, it is more comfortable to eat Western food, such a pure French Western food in Beijing is only available in the Great Wall Hotel, and it is good for him to occasionally taste French classics." ”
Cheng Guoqiang is Bai Xiaoyi's senior, Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei met through Bai Xiaoyi, of course respect her opinion, saw that the time was almost up and went downstairs to the Western restaurant, there were many guests in the Western restaurant at noon, most of them were foreigners, Zuo Jiang looked at the Westerners are almost the same, and he also knew which country it was, Zuo Jiang glanced at the hall, there were really no vacancies along the way, although there were many people, there was no noise in the hall, and the guests were whispering, Zuo Jiang felt that the atmosphere was very good.
Zuo Jiang's seat is a corner near the window, sitting here feels very quiet, they just sat for a long time, the waiter led Cheng Guoqiang over, saw Bai Xiaoyi and Zuo Jiang were waving to him, so he walked a few steps quickly and came to their seat with excitement on his face.
Bai Xiaoyi got up enthusiastically to sit down, Cheng Guoqiang sat on the side of the window inside, Bai Xiaoyi sat outside, Zuo Jiang and Tao Fei sat opposite them, and after a few cold words, Zuo Jiang handed the menu to Cheng Guoqiang and asked him to order. He took it and looked at it a few times and said honestly, "I'm sorry. I don't have much research on Western food, and I don't know what to eat when I look at the dishes on it. I eat what you order! ”
Zuo Jiang saw that Cheng Guoqiang was so real, so he took the menu card, and ordered it while looking at it, the most expensive dish in France is foie gras. Zuo Jiang asked for a copy casually, the French people's favorite food is snails and frog legs, Zuo Jiang thought about it for a while and asked for a French snail, as for the frog legs, he felt really unacceptable, so he chose to give up, and then Zuo Jiang asked for Marseille fish soup, Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, fried shrimp balls, French steak and Provencal fish soup.
In the gap before the food was served, Cheng Guoqiang announced to Zuojiang that the Songjiang Railway Branch had achieved 1,000 days of safe production and the news ranked third in the broadcast place, and told them the details such as the 30-second film, of course, he did not say that this was the meaning of the Central Propaganda Department, but took the credit on him.
Zuo Jiang was not interested in the broadcast of this news. As long as it can be broadcast on the news network, I am very happy that it can be broadcast for 30 seconds. Bai Xiaoyi is different, she is engaged in news and knows the weight of this third position, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Brother Cheng, this is all true!" ”
Cheng Guoqiang smiled and said: "Of course, they have all passed the final review, just wait for the evening broadcast!" At this point he paused: "Oh! By the way, at 18 o'clock in the evening, as soon as the Songjiang Railway Branch achieves safe production for 1000 days, you must call me immediately, and if it fails to achieve, you must also notify me as soon as possible. I will arrange for the news to be changed, this matter is very important, you must remember! ”
Bai Xiaoyi said very happily: "Okay, Brother Cheng, we will call you as soon as possible at 18 o'clock in the evening, you can rest assured!" ”
It is very particular about eating French food. The procedure is also very cumbersome. There are procedures for how to use knives and forks, and Zuo Jiang naturally will not learn how to eat French food in a regular manner. In the past few days, no matter what kind of program the three sets of knives and forks on the table are used, he can use whichever one he uses.
Dish 6 continued to come up, Zuo Jiang asked the waiter to open a bottle of French red wine, Zuo Jiang didn't know that the French wine was the best Lafite produced in Bordeaux in 82, so he just asked for a bottle casually, and he didn't abide by the French habit of drinking aperitifs before eating, but he just felt that it was a bit wrong to eat in this kind of place without drinking some wine.
After eating a happy meal, Cheng Guoqiang hurried back to the TV station after eating, at this time he couldn't help but have a trace of resentment in his heart, and said in his heart, My editor-in-chief, if you don't go abroad sooner or later, you will go abroad at this time, so that I don't even have time to see Bai Xiaoyi!
After Zuo Jiang and the three returned to the luxury suite, they first made a phone call to their father Zuo Zheng and told him that the news broadcast had been arranged tonight, and the broadcast priority was the third news, and the broadcast time was 30 seconds, so that his father must tell him the news of achieving 1000 days of safe production at 18 o'clock in the evening, and notify the TV station here.
The three of them sat in the conference living room and chatted while watching TV, and after a while, Tao Fei and Bai Xiaoyi were a little sleepy, so they went back to their rooms to sleep. Zuo Jiang was also a little dizzy after drinking today's French red wine, just like he drank red plum wine and had stamina, so he called the service and told him to wake him up at 5 o'clock at night and go back to his room to sleep.
At the critical moment of achieving the first 1,000 days of safe production in history, the Songjiang Railway Branch is making the final sprint. From 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou came to the dispatching command center of the sub-bureau to personally sit on the platform to monitor and command, the director of the dispatching station rushed between the traffic command platforms of each line, nervously collecting news from all over the sub-bureau, every 15 minutes to Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou report, Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou also went back and forth to the various dispatch rooms, to the traffic dispatcher to learn about the local information, Zuo Zhengdi firmly believes in his heart, this safety production 1000 days will be able to achieve.
The celebration of 1,000 days of safe production has been prepared for several days, and the celebration began as soon as the bell rang at 18 o'clock in the evening, and the good news message to the Ministry of Railways and the Songjiang Railway Bureau has been prepared, and it will be issued immediately at 18 o'clock once the 1,000 days of safe production are realized. This morning, the sub-bureau issued a notice that off-duty workers should watch CCTV's news broadcast at 19:30 p.m. and Songjiang news broadcast at 8 p.m., and all units at the grass-roots level should open their workers' activity rooms at night, and workers who do not have televisions at home can go to the workers' activity room to watch them, and cadres of sub-bureau organs must go to the sub-bureau's auditorium at 19:30 p.m. to watch the news broadcast.
The time seemed so long in the waiting, it was close to 18 o'clock, Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou's hearts were beating non-stop, they kept patrolling one dispatch room after another, their hearts were both nervous and excited, and the director of the dispatch station was following them and constantly passing the news.
When there were still 5 minutes left at 18 o'clock, Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou finally sat down on the command platform in the hall of the dispatching command center, their eyes looked at the huge electronic clock on the wall in front of them without blinking, and Zuo Zheng's heart couldn't help but contract nervously every time the second hand beat, and at the same time, the light of expectation in his eyes was stronger.
Of course, when the banknote needle was about to coincide with the minute hand, Zuo Zheng and Song Dayou both stood up nervously, and the palms of the hands pressed on the command platform trembled slightly, and Zuo Zheng felt that his palms were sweaty. "Dang!" The moment the banknote needle and the minute hand coincided, the bell rang suddenly, and the hall of the dispatching command center suddenly boiled, Zuo Zheng felt a burst of prostration, and the strength of his body seemed to be emptied in an instant, and he didn't have a trace of strength, and sat down in the leather chair in a daze!
The director of the dispatch station excitedly ran forward and said loudly: "Director Zuo, Secretary Song!" 1000 days of safe production has been achieved, and we have achieved 1000 days of safe production! ”
Zuo Zheng stood up suddenly, waved his hand and said to the secretary beside him: "Quick, send a telegram to the Ministry of Railways and the Railway Bureau!" Then he turned around and picked up the phone on the command platform, and dialed the phone to Zuo Jiang's room, and Zuo Jiang picked up the phone after the phone rang, which shows how anxious he was waiting on the phone!
After the phone was dialed, Zuo Zheng calmed down, and he said to the phone: "Son, 1,000 days of safe production have been achieved!" ”
Zuo Jiang's excited voice came from the other side of the phone: "Dad, are you sure?" ”
Zuo Zheng didn't care about Zuo Jiang's language at all, and said very solemnly into the phone: "In the name of the director of the Songjiang Railway Branch, I solemnly announce to you that as of 18 o'clock on December 31, 1986, the Songjiang Railway Branch has achieved the first 1,000 days of safe production in history!" ”
"Wow! Dad, you're so handsome! Zuo Jiang's excited voice was conveyed on the phone! Then there was a "bang" and the phone was stacked.
Zuo Zheng listened to the beeping sound of disconnection on the phone, looked at the phone in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and said to himself: "This kid, why did he become so crazy!" ”
Seeing that Zuo Zheng put down the phone, the director of the dispatching station hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Director Zuo, 1,000 days of safe production has been achieved, you can give us instructions to the dispatching office first!" ”
Seeing Zuo Zheng nodding, the director of the dispatch station hurriedly said to everyone: "Comrades, please be quiet, now please ask Director Zuo to give us important instructions, please applaud and welcome!" ”
Zuo Zheng looked at everyone and said: "What I want to say today is one sentence, comrades have worked hard!" ”
