The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 155 Exclusive Interview
Liu Feifei said proudly: "Our Huazi is not bragging. He went to the auditorium today to attend a meeting and receive a science medal. There was indeed a banquet after the meeting, so he did go to the auditorium for the banquet."

"is not it?"

Yan Fugui was shocked. Only important people could go to the auditorium. Although he had volunteered to do labor when the auditorium was built, he never thought that one day someone around him would go to the auditorium to attend meetings and have banquets.

"Hua Zi's wife." Yan Fugui asked excitedly, "You are kidding me, right? That is a big auditorium, not the auditorium of the steel mill. Is that a place that ordinary people can go to?"

Liu Feifei said with great disdain: "Then our Huazi is not an ordinary person, right?"

"He is indeed not an ordinary person." Yi Zhonghai strolled to the door holding Yi Ling. "I didn't know it before. Now I also work in the experimental workshop. After working with Huazi, I finally understand why I am only an eighth-level worker and he is an eighth-level engineer. The gap is too big and I can't catch up."

Yan Fugui greeted with a smile: "Old Yi, you are playing with the kids."

Yi Zhonghai nodded: "Ling'er, call someone, this is Uncle Yan, this is Sister Liu."

Yi Ling obediently called her uncle and sister-in-law. Liu Feifei was in a good mood today, so she took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket, peeled off the paper and stuffed it into Yi Ling's mouth.

The little girl held the candy in her mouth and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Liu Feifei smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, she turned around and went home. She still had to clean the house. Everyone envied dual-income families, but dual-income families like theirs could only do a thorough cleaning on Sundays. This was also the helplessness of dual-income families.

Driver Han dropped Liu Hua off at the destination and stopped in a corner. "Mr. Liu, our representatives from Beijing are all gathered across the street. I will be staying here today. If you need a car, come find me here."

Liu Hua went to the gathering point of the Beijing delegation and waited to enter after signing in. Today, not only science and technology medals were awarded, but also model workers and advanced individuals were honored, all at once, saving time, effort and money.

Liu Hua also knew some people, all of whom he met when he was helping out in various factories. He didn't expect to meet them here today, and was quite surprised.

He greeted all his old acquaintances, and they introduced their friends to him. Within a few minutes, the two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes in Liu Hua's pocket were empty.

The friends smoked and chatted for nearly half an hour. The person in charge called everyone together and said, "You can enter now. Please observe discipline."

After the arrangement, Liu Hua followed the team to the area where they were supposed to sit. Liu Hua decided to donate generously: "Comrades, today I will treat you. I will pay for the tea."

This touches on a little-known fact: in the 1960s and 1970s, when meetings were held in the auditorium, boiled water was free, but tea had to be paid for. No matter how high-ranking the leader was, he had to pay for tea. Longjing tea was 0.1 cent a bag, and scented tea was 0.5 cents a bag.

I paid for everyone's tea, and it didn't cost much in total. The entire Beijing delegation only had about twenty people.

The leader gave an opening speech. His tall stature and powerful voice with a slight southern accent excited Liu Hua so much that he didn't remember anything at the time. He just remembered clapping along with everyone else, clapping so hard that his palms turned red.

Next, a leader gave a report, informing all the comrades attending the meeting of the achievements we have made in building our motherland over the past year and looking forward to the future.

Still applauding, Liu Hua's mind went blank when he saw these two people. I believe most people were as excited as Liu Hua, incomparably excited. According to the agenda of the conference, the Model Worker Medal, Advanced Individual Worker Medal, etc. were awarded. Liu Hua's highest scientific research award was naturally the top priority and was placed last.

When his name was called, Liu Hua's mind was in a daze. He didn't know who pushed him to the front desk for no apparent reason.

After shaking hands with Liu Hua, the leader handed him a medal and a corresponding certificate, and said with a smile: "This kid is very young, but he has already achieved such great success. He must continue to work hard in the future."

"Definitely." Liu Hua finally regained consciousness and nodded, saying, "I will definitely achieve greater success in the future and contribute to the construction of our country."

Others received a certificate and a medal, but Liu Hua also received two certificates for invention and creation. Plus, he was so young, so the leaders couldn't help but say a few more words to him and shook hands with him longer than with others. Several scientists who won the award together with Liu Hua couldn't help but cast envious glances at this youngest guy.

The commendation meeting was finally over after taking about a whole morning. A sumptuous banquet was prepared in the auditorium at noon. The delicacies, mainly Huaiyang cuisine, made everyone eat to their heart's content.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed, especially the model workers from other places, who had other activities to participate in, such as touring the capital.

Liu Hua was left behind, and the staff of the conference informed him: "Comrade Liu Hua, you will be interviewed by foreign journalists in a while, please be careful with your words and actions and answer appropriately."

Liu Hua has never accepted an interview in his two lifetimes, let alone an exclusive interview. He has never even accepted a street interview with an internet celebrity. If he hadn't heard that it was an exclusive interview with a foreign media, he would have been eager to try.

But first Liu Hua had to ask clearly why he wanted to accept an exclusive interview with foreign media.

"Comrade, may I ask why this is an interview with a foreign media instead of our own media?"

"The PLC you invented has caused a sensation abroad." The staff patiently explained: "Many newspapers and media have called it a great invention, no less than a computer, so we have received many interview requests. The media that interviewed you this time were carefully selected by our foreign affairs department."

"You should have told me in advance." Liu Hua shook his head: "I have no preparation at all. At least you should have given me a manuscript or an outline or something."

"Don't worry, the interview will be held in two hours. Within these two hours, we will have someone to teach you. In addition, the translator is also an elite from our foreign affairs department. If there is anything you can't answer, he will help you out."

After hearing this, Liu Hua felt relieved. He had to be careful with what he said these days, especially when facing foreign media. These people were bad, bad to the core.

In a small room in the Great Hall, three foreign affairs staff members, holding an outline, gave Liu Hua a comprehensive training. The main focus was on teaching him to be neither humble nor arrogant, and to be well-reasoned and well-founded.

After two hours of training, Liu Hua was full of confidence. He straightened his Zhongshan suit. Li Huaide's money was well spent, he looked so photogenic.
