Chapter 110: A semi-finished product is a good gift for congratulations

December 12th, Tuesday, the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Wang Yuanchao returned to the capital he had been away from for a long time.

After squeezing out of the train station, dragging my bags, I first called a taxi back to the dormitory.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw several bamboo baskets on the table in the living room. Inside them were some black rice, red beans, mung beans, peanuts, red dates, almonds, walnuts, chestnuts, lotus seeds, lilies, longan meat, raisins... everything was neatly arranged, just like sliced ​​cakes.

Hey, I'm waiting for him to come back to cook Laba porridge!

The bones and furs that had been sent back earlier were stacked in boxes by Lou Xiao'e in the bedroom.

Although they have all been processed, there is still a faint fishy smell.

He opened the window to let in some fresh air, otherwise he would not be able to sleep that night.

With so many treasures, Wang Yuanchao felt that the dormitory was not big enough.

He suddenly wanted to build a small courtyard house, the kind with a cellar. If it wasn't possible in the city, it could be built in the countryside.

The space is too small and a cellar is urgently needed.

He simply washed up and checked his work log and semi-finished works again. He had been away for so long and spent so much travel expenses and subsidies from the company. If there was no result, the leader would not care what your work log looked like.

But if he created a work right away after going out, he was worried that he would not be able to stay safely in the capital and would be ordered to travel everywhere.

Go out and produce a semi-finished product, then come back and refine it further, so that everyone can accept it.

After going downstairs and eating a bowl of egg and shredded pork noodles, Wang Yuanchao walked into the office and greeted everyone outside. In the office, only Zhang Yang and Ming Chengjian were there.

The section chief and Li Hui followed the committee member and have not returned yet. They will definitely not be able to make it in time for Laba Festival and it will probably be a week later.

Captain, they should be back this week.

After nodding to Ming Chengjian as a greeting, Wang Yuanchao said to Zhang Yang:
"Zhang Ke, come out and get one?"

Zhang Yang put on his coat, got up and went out.

As for why people don't smoke in the office, it is because once a female leader in charge of the Ministry of Railways came to inspect and felt that the office was filled with smoke, which had a very bad influence.

Therefore, only leaders with their own offices will stay in their offices to smoke.

Smoking is still not allowed in the semi-open offices in the business department, which have rooms but no doors.

Wang Yuanchao passed out cigarettes, and Zhang Yang immediately lit them politely.

Wang Yuanchao is a Level 6 literary and artistic person. Not to mention section chief, even the director level is not as high as him! How can he be so flamboyant and not polite?
Wang Yuanchao is back. I want to ask him about the unit’s developments in recent times.

He is at the sixth level of literary and artistic level. He looks young and has a lot of experience.

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I brought a sheep back from the north. Zhang Ke, since you are not out, I will give you a leg of lamb! Go home and make some lamb dumplings for your sister-in-law, nephews and nieces. Wouldn't that be great?"

The offer was a leg of lamb, which Zhang Yang found hard to refuse.

Li Hui could only bring him two kilograms of mutton at most!

Not everyone is qualified to ask railway colleagues to help with shipment, right?

Basically, just carry an appropriate amount of supplies with you.

Zhang Yang smiled and stopped being polite to Wang Yuanchao:

"Then I have to thank you on their behalf!"

Wang Yuanchao expressed his respect and benefits, and the following was Zhang Yang's intelligence response.

The moment Zhang Yang saw Wang Yuanchao, his brain started racing, but nothing major had happened recently, and most of the art troupe was out!
Ming Chengjian's complaints? This is not something that can be brought up on the stage. It will lower his level of publicity. It's just something he mentioned casually, not worth mentioning.

So, it is:
"The director might raise it."

The director is Wang Yuanchao's backer in the regiment, so it's a good thing to mention him!
Moreover, since the news has been spread, it must be true. Wang Yuanchao raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I have to go and congratulate him!"

Zhang Yang said again:
"The director mentioned you twice. Once he was at a meeting in the department, and once he was at an internal meeting with us. He was thinking about you!"

He also pointed his thumb at his head, with a cigarette between his index and middle fingers, and his action was inexplicably funny.

I've thought about it twice in public, and I'm afraid I've thought about it even more in private.

It's only been more than two months since I left.

Creation is not like a hen laying eggs that will appear when the time comes.

Wang Yuanchao, who was originally preparing to cheer for the team, thought that the semi-finished product would be a good gift for celebration.

The main event was over, and now it was time to talk about some other daily odds and ends. Since Li Hui was not around, Zhang Yang didn't mind having a good chat with Wang Liuji, who was spending the New Year for the first time.

It's the twelfth lunar month now, and we'll soon be doing evaluations and various advanced titles. I estimate that I'll be able to get a lot of enamel cups, washbasins, and towels. The employee benefits will include some vegetables, rice, oil, coal, etc. Anyway, these are all good things that you can get by purchasing coupons from outside.

Finally, I'd like to say that Xiao Ming has been a little anxious recently. He has been criticized by the director several times, and his professional level has dropped significantly. I guess he hasn't completely gotten over the psychological demon of Wang Liuji yet.

Some words, just stop there.

It’s okay to say good things about people behind their backs, but what if you say bad things about them?
[Xu Damao said something bad about Sha Zhu and was heard by the big boss]

After the two men finished smoking, Wang Yuanchao had a general understanding of the recent developments in the regiment, so he carried a small bag and went to the director's office and knocked on the door.

After a few pleasantries, Director Jin got straight to the point:
"After being out for so long, do you have any creative inspiration?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"That must be there!"

Wang Yuanchao talked about going to Fengtian to see the Siberian tigers in the zoo there. He remembered the jokes he and his younger sister had when he took her to the zoo in the capital. He thought it might be suitable for a joke, so he made up a story.

But the framework, the beginning, and several points in it need further improvement.

In addition, for the mission of the department, he also actively followed the captain and his team north for a month or so, and even reached Hailar.

It's a pity that the Hulunbuir prairie is covered with snow. He vaguely had some inspiration. Prairie and railway, what a good combination!
But I think I should go back next summer to experience it. The grassland in different seasons combined with the railway will give me a different feeling. After all, it is a task for the department. If the creation is not good, it will bring shame to the group and the director. We cannot be careless.

Director Jin didn't know what to say after hearing this.

I guess this kid talked a lot of mysterious things, but there was nothing to it.

"Then let me see the tiger joke first. Is there one?"

Wang Yuanchao quickly took out his work diary from his schoolbag, and carefully flipped through a few pieces of paper. They were like cheat sheets, some big, some small, with different handwritings and times.

Director Jin nodded slightly. Although it was bulk cargo, this guy still knew how to do his job.

Following Wang Yuanchao's instructions, he read several passages one by one, and had a preliminary understanding of the outline of this crosstalk. After thinking for a while, he said:
"This is a completely new creation. Can't you see any trace of the predecessors?"

Many crosstalk performances are based on the jokes of predecessors, but the gags are basically the same with a new skin. It is too difficult to create some new gags.

It's not that easy to get rid of the burden.
It’s so easy, it’s called shaking legs.

Wang Yuanchao did not understand this principle yet. He said:
"If people think it's a joke from our ancestors, then your insight into people will be clouded. But Director, do you think this joke is acceptable to you?
If it works, I will spend the next few months carving and perfecting it, and then I will find Liu Tuan to arrange it;
If it doesn't work, I can seize the time and start over."

Director Jin watched it again and again and found it interesting and absurd, but he also wanted to see whether the man was eaten by the tiger? Was he injured? Or did he escape? And how did he escape?

I looked at Wang Yuanchao, who was full of confidence, and felt that the complete work had to be released and performed before I could give a good evaluation.

So he said:
"Then hurry up and get it done. Can you come out during the New Year?"

Wang Yuanchao quickly begged for mercy:

"Director, even if I don't eat or sleep every day, there are still more than 20 days before the Chinese New Year, and I still can't come up with a complete crosstalk. Look, I'm still just a skeleton!"
