Chapter 471 Redemption Meeting

Wen Qin and the accountant Mr. Wei reported and summarized the accounting situation in the factory to the village committee led by Yu Bing and Wu Jin. The settlement time for the other three people’s projects was the last day of December.

After the results came out, it was the most important moment for the entire village. It was the year-end dividend meeting!

The meeting location was in the rice field in front of the village committee. All the men, women, old, and young in the village were present.

When Wu Jin took over, He Mountain Village was still a poor village. However, at the end-of-year summary meeting of the county government last December, He Mountain Village lost the poverty that had existed for more than ten years.

As Wu Jin looked at the thriving village, he felt a little emotional. He revealed a rare smile and said loudly through the loudspeaker, “Good afternoon, everyone! It’s time for the year-end dividends again. I’ll share the good news with everyone first!”

“The changes in our village in the past year have been huge! The commune supervisor and the county supervisor saw it all. At the conference at the end of last month, they praised He Mountain Village! Not only are we no longer labeled as a poor village, but the county director also praised us in front of the entire county’s supervisors. He gave us the 1976 Advanced Model Village pennant as a commendation! He also encouraged us to continue developing and expand the ecological industry chain!”

With that, Wu Jin turned around and took out a pennant from a bag.

After he received the news last month, he was in no hurry to announce this good news at the radio station. He wanted to show it in public today. Seeing it personally could make people feel more honored.

Wu Jin hoped to use this method to motivate the entire village to continue this year’s work enthusiasm.

As soon as the silk banner was taken out, the villagers below the stage became excited.

“Mr. Wu, how many villages in the county have this?!”

“Are we the only ones who have it?”

“This is the first time our village has been so glorious in so many years!”

Some old people in their sixties or seventies had never heard of their village obtaining such an honor since the founding of the country, so they grinned happily.

When Wu Jin heard this, he replied with a smile, “There are only three villages in the entire county!”

As soon as he said this, everyone became excited again.

Although their village wasn’t the only one which was commended, there were more than a hundred villages in Pingjiang County, so it was already impressive for their village to enter the top three!

The lively atmosphere below the stage made Wu Jin’s smile deepen. Then, he raised his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. “There’s someone who contributed greatly to our advancement. Next, please let our overall person-in-charge of the ecological industry chain, Yu Bing, say a few words to everyone.”

Yu Bing was in the first row of the audience watching the commotion, but she didn’t expect to be suddenly called on stage. She thought that she would just get a dividend like last year.

Yu Bing wasn’t prepared, so she hurriedly waved at Wu Jin with a resistant expression. “Mr. Wu, just say it yourself. I didn’t prepare anything to say.”

Wu Jin was usually serious and always had a straight face, so those who were not familiar with him were a little afraid of him.

However, Wu Jin acted a little mischievous today. “Miss Yu says that she’s not prepared to speak on stage. Everyone, tell me. Do you guys still want to hear her speech?”

Someone immediately shouted in support, “I want to listen to her speech!”

Everyone also asked Yu Bing to go on stage to say a few words.

At this point, it would be inappropriate to refuse, so Yu Bing couldn’t refuse anymore. She smiled and stood up to walk onto the stage.

As Yu Bing looked at the smiling faces below the stage, she smiled and said, “Good afternoon, everyone. I’m Yu Bing. I suddenly came up and don’t know what to say. In that case, I’ll just say whatever comes to mind.”

“I’m very happy that this project was able to reach this scale and was even approved by the county supervisor. However, what I want to say is that I was the one who suggested this project, but its success in the end is inseparable from the efforts and support of the entire village!”

“Some people might give credit to the workers in the factory, as well as the workers in the orchards, farms, and fish ponds. They’re the ones in the front line, so of course they contributed a lot.”

“But the villagers who didn’t participate directly also contributed. The farm work in the field, the maintenance and repair of the village’s infrastructure, all needed people to do it. This project mobilized more than a hundred people in the village, which means that all the work in this area was distributed equally. Therefore, you guys are the contributors behind the scenes!”

“Our project is like a ship. I know the direction, but you guys are rowers. Everyone is very important. Only by working together can we drive the ship to our destination faster and better. I hope we can maintain this high fighting spirit during the new year! Thank you, everyone.”
