Chapter 3364 Reminiscing about the Past and Appreciating the Present Together in the Municipal Party

Chapter 3364 Recalling the Past and Appreciating the Present Together in the Municipal Party Committee Compound

The kitchen was filled with the aroma of food. Xiao Bai took the initiative to come to the kitchen to help Grandma Qin Huifang, handing her a plate and peeling garlic with great efficiency.

While cooking, Qin Huifang couldn't help but glance at the little one beside her frequently, her eyes filled with pride and curiosity, and her affection for her was undisguised.

Who wouldn't love such a hardworking little bee!

She has two daughters. Her eldest daughter, Zhang Qingqing, is gentle and hardworking, and she dotes on her very much. Her younger daughter, Zhang Mingxue, has a strong personality and is often away from home. Recently, she has been clamoring to move out and live on her own. She has tried to stop her, but she knows that she can't stop her for long.

Qin Huifang ladled the last stir-fried vegetables onto a plate, turned off the heat, wiped her hands, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiaobai, tell Grandma quickly, how exactly did you make that movie? It's being praised on TV and in the newspapers!"

Xiao Bai carried the dishes in both hands, ran to the restaurant in a flash, put them on the table, and then ran back, chuckling, "Oh, it's not that amazing! It's just something we all came up with together. Chengcheng wrote the story, Xiaomi drew the pictures, Xi'er and the others took the photos, and we used the AI ​​from my dad's company... oh, it's a really powerful new computer technology. We put the photos and the story in, and it can create movie scenes."

Qin Huifang could easily see the pride in the young girl's heart, and deliberately asked, "Everyone has a assigned task, why aren't you one of them? What are you doing in there?"

Xiao Bai could hardly contain his laughter. He waved his hand and said casually, "I'm just a director, the general coordinator, the one who sets the tone. Everyone reports to me."

Qin Huifang laughed and said, "Our Xiaobai is really amazing. She's so young and already the chief director. She has great management talent. In the future, your father's company can be handed over to you to manage."

Xiao Bai's smile was barely contained, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Oh, what's there to worry about? Just leave it to the right people."

Qin Huifang agreed, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right. The most important thing in managing a company is to use the right people and manage them well. There are so many talented people in the world; if we can make them work for us, what company can't we manage well?!"

Xiao Bai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's exactly what I said. Grandma, you didn't become a high-ranking official through Grandpa's connections; you're truly capable. If you manage people well, you can get anything done, right? That's how Little Red Horse does it. If I manage Liu Liu well, she can turn a negative into a positive..."

The child chattered on and on, while Qin Huifang's face darkened. "What?! She became a high-ranking official not through her great-grandfather's connections?!" So that's what the child really thought! She was furious, but she couldn't show it, after all, the child was innocent.

The two women were having an in-depth exchange of management experiences in the kitchen when Zhang Qingqing couldn't help but smile and remind them that it was time to eat.

Zhang Mingxue joked, "Wow, our CEO is already talking about management! Are you one of those legendary geniuses?"

Xiao Bai chuckled and said, "Don't speak in such a sarcastic tone."

Zhang Mingxue: "..."

Everyone laughed.

Qin Huifang was still amazed: "The technology these days is incredible! Computers can even make movies on their own? Back in our day, we had to go to a photo studio and spend ages posing just to take a picture!"

Zhang Qingqing set out the bowls and chopsticks, invited everyone to sit down, and chimed in, "I watched that film, it looked so real! Especially the part where they ran on the icy river, and the ice sculpture at the end... it really got my heart pounding. Xiaobai, how did you kids come up with the idea to make this? And you made it so well and so moving?"

Xiao Bai sat down next to Wang Xiaoyu, who quickly poured her a bear-shaped drink, picked up a piece of braised pork rib and put it in her bowl, acting as her waiter.

Xiao Bai replied, "It was when the school organized a trip to the memorial hall last time. We saw so many names and stories, and some of the older kids were about our age. We felt that more children should know about them. Teacher Wu said, 'Remembering is the best way to commemorate.'"

Zhang Qingqing poured drinks for everyone and said, "Xiaobai is right. Life is better now, and many children really don't know how hard it was in the past. Your approach is more effective than any amount of reasoning we adults can give."

She said to Qin Huifang, "Mom, the short film 'Little White' is more effective and easier for people to accept than your mainstream propaganda."

Qin Huifang nodded: "Yes, we plan to hold a working meeting tomorrow to discuss how to further promote the main theme under the new era and new circumstances, focusing on the film 'Xiao Bai'."

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up at this, but he quickly spat out the braised pork ribs he was chewing, saying, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Qin Huifang said, "What's wrong with that! Many people say that your short film is as effective as the propaganda system's work over the past year."

Xiao Bai couldn't suppress her smile, just like when she was firing an AK. She quickly put a piece of braised pork rib on her plate and, after holding back, couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, how are you planning to hold this work meeting?"

Qin Huifang briefly explained the agenda of the lecture and discussion to her, and said at the end, "I have a speech at the meeting. After we have dinner, Xiaobai, can you take a look at it for Grandma, polish it, and give it your approval?"

Xiao Bai hurriedly waved his hand with a smile: "Oh dear, I only got 98 points on my Chinese final exam!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tan was stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. 98 points? How come he didn't know that? He seemed to have never seen that score before!

Qin Huifang smiled and said, "This has nothing to do with your Chinese language score. You are the director. From your perspective, give Grandma some advice and suggestions on this speech."

Wang Xiaoyu, filled with envy and jealousy, diligently served Xiaobai food and poured her a bear-shaped drink, taking the opportunity to interject, "Xiaobai, I've seen your movie too, it was so touching! Our homeroom teacher said they're going to show it in class tomorrow, and we'll all watch it together. They're even making us write a review!"

Qin Huifang said, "I'll also send my reading notes to my grandmother later."

Wang Xiaoyu: "...(ΩДΩ)!"

Zhang Qingqing encouraged him, "Write well, and express your true feelings."

Zhang Mingxue added insult to injury: "I'll send it to your grandfather too."

Wang Xiaoyu was breathing heavily, almost fainting. He was completely bewildered, his head full of question marks. How did things get so bad?

He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

After dinner, everyone sat in the living room chatting. Mei Fangfang and Xiao Wang arrived, along with Liu Changjiang and Jiao Dashuai, who had later received the news.

The group was carrying a plastic bag containing several bottles of chilled bear-shaped drinks.

The group first politely greeted Qin Huifang and Zhang Qingqing, then gathered around Xiaobai and Wang Xiaoyu.

Jiao Dashuai's eyes darted around, and Xiaobai said, "Xiwawa didn't come."

Commander Jiao chuckled, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Xiao Wang couldn't wait to flatter him: "Xiao Bai, I watched the video you made, it's great! We even discussed it in class! The history teacher used this video as an example to talk about the Korean War! I was the first to raise my hand and say that my grandfather's brother was a volunteer soldier who died in Korea."

Mei Fangfang nodded, her usual playful smile gone: "Me too. There's a very old photo of my great-grandfather at home. He's wearing a military uniform, and you can barely make out his face. After watching Xiaobai's film, especially the part about the ice sculpture company, I looked at my great-grandfather's photo again, and I suddenly felt like crying. My grandfather said that my great-grandfather was only in his early twenties when he passed away; he died on the battlefield."

Commander Jiao said, "My great-grandfather also died on the battlefield, along with his five brothers..."

Commander Jiao sighed and said, "Let me tell you, my family was truly miserable. My great-grandfather had six brothers in total, and my great-grandfather was the third oldest. During the War of Resistance against Japan, all six brothers went to the battlefield together, and none of them came back."

Xiao Bai remained silent after hearing this, while Xiao Wang sighed and said, "Commander Jiao, your family is truly miserable."

Mei Fangfang patted Jiao Dashuai's shoulder silently, reached out to hug his head, wanting to give him a warm embrace, but Jiao Dashuai pushed her away, actually trying to take advantage of her.

Everyone looked at Liu Changjiang, who hadn't spoken until now.

Liu Changjiang looked around, thought hard, and said, "My family has a very good class background. We were peasants, poor but honorable. We ate tree bark and dirt..."

"Tch~~~" Everyone immediately lost interest in asking further questions.

Liu Changjiang panicked: "Who among you dares to eat those?!"

Nobody paid him any attention.

Qin Huifang sighed softly and said, "Good children, you must all remember that your ancestors were all war heroes."
