Chapter 153 Five Golden Flowers PK Love My China
Wang Yuanchao and his two companions arrived in Liucheng and were warmly welcomed by the local railway bureau. Without any rest, they were directly taken to the table for a drink.

Although the Railway Art Troupe is small in scale, with only about 300 people, it is also a formal bureau-level agency under the Ministry of Railways.

Theoretically speaking, the members and directors of the art troupe, and the members and directors of the major railway bureaus on the front line, are all formal department- and bureau-level cadres.

The difference at the large level is smaller, but at the small level, well, the difference is still quite large.

It can't be that a road bureau with tens of thousands of passengers is the same as a road bureau with hundreds of passengers, right?
Otherwise, the old committee member would not have happily gone to the Erbin Road Bureau to be the third-in-command in charge of organizational work.

Although Wang Yuanchao was only the deputy director of the song and dance troupe (the director was at the county and department level), he was at the sixth level in literature and art. Before he became the deputy director, his administrative treatment was comparable to that of many department-level cadres, or even higher. He was equivalent to the top-level department-level one.

In addition, there is the imperial sword of the Ministry of Railways and the central government.

So much so that the head of Liucheng Railway Bureau, Commissioner Jin, brought the entire leadership team to welcome them.

The specifications are quite high.

The hospitality was served with the local rice-flavored liquor, Sanhua Liquor.

Soldiers against soldiers, against generals.

As the sword-carrying guard, Guo Feng was undoubtedly the first to die heroically.

Wu Lanfang took advantage of her female compatriots and tried her best to push them, but she also had female compatriots.

So all she could do was fall in front of Wang Yuanchao.

The team of Liucheng Railway Bureau wanted to make a concerted effort to let the leaders and comrades from the capital feel the enthusiasm of local railway workers.

Wang Yuanchao didn't need his subordinates to help block the drinking at all. He asked Guo Feng and Wu Lanfang to block it before, which was just to follow the rules and give the subordinates a chance to perform in front of the leader.

He killed everyone by himself and knocked down all the enthusiastic hosts.

Except for some cunning ones who pretend to be drunk.

You have to pretend. If you don't pretend, you have to be really drunk. Being drunk is so uncomfortable, it's so uncomfortable.

Not only did Wang Yuanchao not expose it, he also pretended to be dying. Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespecting others?

The local bosses give you face, but you still need their support when selecting personnel later.

It is useless to have the support of the railway bureau art troupe alone. The railway bureau's art troupe is not a subordinate unit of the railway art troupe, but a subordinate unit of the regional railway bureau. They are composed of workers, not literary and artistic personnel at all.

This is because the major railway bureaus are not qualified to support an art troupe with literary and artistic editing.

The next day, the head of the Liucheng Road Bureau Art Troupe took them to visit the troupe's performance, under the pretext of asking for guidance from the leaders from the capital.

Although it is small in scale and has few varieties, it still has singing, dancing and drama, and they are all very local in character.

In the evening, we drank again.

We also know that the leaders from the capital can drink, so everyone was much more restrained today.

Two of the people who accompanied me with drinks yesterday were at home and couldn't come, and two of those who came were still listless and hadn't fully recovered. They didn't have Wang Yuanchao to help them sober up with acupuncture.

Naturally, I have to ask what the leaders felt after watching the performance of the regional railway bureau art troupe today?
That must be praised.

Then the leaders of the Liucheng Road Bureau began to follow Wang Yuanchao and others' praise and boast about how excellent the performers and staff of their art troupe were.

The performers and staff of their art troupe are all part-timers! Their main jobs are railway workers and service personnel! But they have a heart to develop into art...

As he listened, Wang Yuanchao thought, why does this sound like Wang Po selling melons?

Wang Yuanchao was worried that other places were hiding their talented people, but in fact, he was worrying too much!

The local railway bureaus of those days were not like those decades later, when a bureau would have tens of thousands of people. At that time, railway soldiers were still soldiers and were not under the jurisdiction of the railways but the Railway Corps!
The railway line is so short, there are so many trains, and the passenger and freight capacity is so limited, so a railway bureau can only have a few thousand people at most and a few hundred at most.

The organizations brought by Wang Yuanchao are all of high value and very attractive!

Even if you are a worker, can the ration you eat in the local area be the same as that in the capital?

Who doesn’t want to introduce and recommend a few more people?

The interests involved are huge!

It can only be said that Wang Yuanchao's understanding of this was not deep enough, but he soon came to his senses.

Comrades from the Liucheng Railway Bureau also began to introduce to him the ethnic minorities unique to Guangxi Province.

For example, the unique Kinh people are the only maritime ethnic group in the country!

The only one in the country!

The Kinh people are actually very similar to the Vietnamese, and to some extent, they can be said to be of Vietnamese descent, because the city of Mong Cai in Vietnam is right next door.

The Liucheng Road Bureau knew that Wang Yuanchao and his party were going to Guizhou Province and Yunnan Province, so they had to perform well and leave a good impression on Wang Yuanchao in order to get more places.

However, Wang Yuanchao did not give in, but only said that compared with the three places, those with outstanding performance can definitely contribute to national unity.

Early on the third day, local comrades came to the guesthouse to invite Wang Yuanchao to guide the work in the Guilin section, as Guilin has beautiful scenery.

As a result, Wu Lanfang, who stayed behind, said that the team leader went to the medicinal materials market, and his family asked him to buy some Chinese medicinal materials unique to this place.

The local road bureau learned the news and was thinking, "Captain Wang is such a fool! If you have any needs, just tell them. They are the landlords!"
What specialties or medicinal materials can't be obtained on the railway? If the railway boss wants some resources, it will not be difficult.

One can only guess that the comrades from the capital may have a big appetite.

However, don’t be afraid of having a big appetite. Isn’t the Railway Bureau doing voluntary labor?

At night, the comrades from Liucheng felt that the comrades from the capital were too polite. They could only say that they had not drunk enough wine and immediately agreed to help find suitable medicinal materials.

Rhino horns are no longer found in the north, but they are still available in the south, and they can be imported from Southeast Asia.

Moreover, Liucheng also has precious medicinal materials, so it’s not a problem.

The two sides reached some exchange and cooperation intentions while toasting each other.

In this way, both the host and the guests were happy.

The selection of personnel finally began on the fourth day.

Those who wore ethnic costumes, spoke a few ethnic languages, performed a few ethnic dances, looked decent, could speak Chinese, and had a brief chat with Wang Yuanchao were included in Wang Yuanchao's candidate list and recorded one by one.

"I have inspected the personnel, compared them with those in Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, and made a comprehensive evaluation. I will definitely give Liucheng a definite answer when the time comes!"

The local authorities knew that Captain Wang had not even seen what they were talking about, so how could he agree to it at this time?

Anyway, they will pass through Liucheng on the way back, so they still have time to make careful preparations.

The city building in Guizhou Province is also repeating the story of Liucheng.

Unfortunately, this is just a branch under the Tianfu Road Bureau. It doesn’t even have an art troupe, only a few artistic backbones.

They were transferred from Liucheng Railway Bureau to Tianfu Railway Bureau in July last year. In October last year, the Sichuan-Guizhou Railway was opened to traffic, and Zhucheng was directly connected to Tianfu.

The branch leaders are not as high-ranking as Wang Yuanchao.

But he had also received a phone call from Wu Lanfang before, so he took action very actively.

If Tie Lao Da wants to do something in the local area, it is very easy as long as he wants to.

Zhucheng Road Bureau does not have its own art troupe, but Zhucheng has the Guizhou Province Art Troupe!
They were also very straightforward. After a drink, they brought all the male and female actors over the next day for Wang Yuanchao to choose.

Although they are a provincial art troupe, they belong to the cultural system, and the railway art troupe, the treatment of the railway, everyone is still very jealous. Can the hidden benefits of the railway be compared with those of the cultural system?
Not to mention, there is a chance to stand on a higher stage and perform for higher-level leaders.

Not to mention, the quality of the Guizhou Province Art Troupe is higher than that of the Liucheng Road Bureau Art Troupe.

Professional after all.

Although there are rare and precious Chinese medicinal materials here, such as: pearl ginseng, cordyceps, moxa slices, musk, bezoar, dendrobium, etc., but there are none of the ones that Wang Yuanchao wants.

Because in a few decades, these medicinal materials will still be there, precious but not in short supply. However, Wang Yuanchao would not refuse to collect some musk and bezoar.

Tiger bones, ginseng from old years, and rhino horns are the ones that will become extinct later, and are worth collecting.

After the interview here, he will go to Chuncheng, Yunnan Province.

The train had not yet officially started operation, but the tracks had been connected and were open to traffic, so the City Construction Bureau specially arranged a locomotive to tow a carriage, which traveled over mountains and across rivers and through tunnels to send them to Yunnan Province.

The Chuncheng Railway Bureau was established very early, and because the trains from Chuncheng went to Vietnam, it had always been isolated. The opening of the Gui-Kun Railway brought Yunnan Province into the national railway family.

The significance is profound.

That’s why Captain Jin thought it would be best to sing a song to praise the road when it is opened.

We must not let the leader get what he wants and think that Wang Yuanchao is really omnipotent, right?
The main reason is that at Wang Yuanchao's age and level, he can't move up any further. He has no motivation to exploit himself. He can't roll it up. He can't roll it up.

The Chuncheng Railway Bureau is not large in scale and does not have an art troupe, but the Yunnan Province Song and Dance Troupe is very powerful, and the Guizhou Province Art Troupe cannot even come close to it.

Founded in 50, the Yunnan Provincial People's Art Troupe had a song and dance troupe and a drama troupe. It was reorganized into a song and dance troupe in 56.

The Yunnan Song and Dance Troupe has a long history and many honors. Although the head of the Chuncheng Railway Bureau, Commissioner Luo, came forward, they only sent a deputy director named Xu.

Wang Yuanchao didn't care, he just had to complete his creative diary and selection tasks.

So what if it’s just a small Yunnan song and dance troupe?
But Commissioner Luo felt that he had lost face, but he couldn't show his anger because everyone was from the same system.

Don't the idiots in the provincial song and dance troupe know the power of the railway boss? The Gui-Kun railway has been closed!!!

He had no choice but to instruct his subordinates to get more wine into the welcoming banquet and get rid of these bastards who didn't give him face. If he didn't deal with them properly on the railway in the future, they would probably not know why the Iron Boss was called the Iron Boss!
Even the mayor and deputy mayor were very polite to the regional boss!

After a few rounds of drinking, the young people from the capital were not drunk. Deputy Director Xu of the song and dance troupe took advantage of the alcohol and said:

“Deputy Captain Wang is young and promising!

Compared to our leader who joined the Eighth Route Army as a propagandist at the age of 12, it is not much different.”

Before anyone on Wang Yuanchao's side could speak, a leader of the Chuncheng Road Bureau slapped his thigh and said:
"Oh, why didn't Commissioner Wang come?

Our Commissioner Luo also joined the Red Army at the age of 13! He even climbed snow-capped mountains and walked through grasslands!

If Commissioner Wang comes, the three leaders are not all young and promising, they are young and promising, it is the gathering of the three heroes! ”

Deputy Head Xu was a little surprised. Compared with Commissioner Luo's qualifications, it seemed that Commissioner Wang's qualifications were no match.

Commissioner Luo pretended to be angry and said:

"Hey, you're the one who talked too much, drink a glass of wine as a penalty!"

The subordinate raised his glass cheerfully and said:

"Oh, I accept the punishment. I accept the punishment."

In terms of seniority, Commissioner Wang of the Yunnan Song and Dance Troupe is really no match for Commissioner Luo of the Chuncheng Railway Bureau!
Deputy Head Xu originally wanted to show off his seniority as his leader did not come, to express that his leader was still very senior. However, someone directly brought up the issue and said that his own committee member might face difficulties from the Railway Bureau in the future. This was disrespectful to his predecessors!
The key point is that we have never dealt with each other before. Who would have known that such an inconspicuous person has such a background and resume?
With such qualifications, why are you staying in Chuncheng?

I thought my committee member’s Eighth Route Army resume was already overwhelming, but who knew he was actually a Red Army soldier!!!

Wang Yuanchao had not expected the other party to have such a rich resume, and he could not help but raise his glass and say:

“To see if it’s hard, think about the 25,000 Red Army soldiers;

Are you tired? Think about senior Ge Min.

Commissioner Luo, I must toast to you!

How did we get the happy life we ​​have today? Isn't it because of the thousands and thousands of sparks like you that set the prairie on fire and finally built our bright red country? "

Commissioner Luo had no objection to Wang Yuanchao, who came from above. He was originally from above and was talented, so he was here to do work.

I just didn’t expect that this nonchalant Captain Wang would have such a drastic change in attitude. It seems that he is also a passionate young man!
Didn't you think that this young captain was just an old bureaucrat sitting in an office?

So he also raised his glass with a smile and said:

"Captain Wang's song 'Love My China' speaks out our feelings. Isn't it for this China that we sacrifice our lives and shed our blood?"

Wang Yuanchao drank this cup without any trickery, and all of it went down his stomach.

Although the Yunnan Song and Dance Troupe has many excellent works, it does not have a national-level phenomenon like "Love My China".

Deputy Head Xu looked at the two railway system people bragging to each other, and he didn't want to brag. He glanced at his subordinate, who was also smart, and said:
"In 60, we, the committee members, accompanied Commander Wu on a visit to Myanmar and performed there, and attended the signing ceremony of the China-Myanmar Joint Communiqué..."

The comrades from the Chuncheng Railway Bureau seemed to have heard something remarkable and asked curiously:

"Commissioner Wang also signed the document???"

Deputy Head Xu spat inwardly. What is this subordinate talking about? Is attending the ceremony and signing the document the same thing? Is his qualifications better than Commissioner Luo's? Works, works, let the works speak for themselves!

I couldn't help but explain:

"Look at you, you just drank a few ounces of cat urine and you can't even speak clearly?!
Our song and dance troupe also has excellent works such as "Five Golden Flowers", which are well-known throughout the country, renowned in China, and famous at home and abroad.

She also won the Silver Eagle Award for Best Actress at the 2nd Asian Film Festival!

This time, we must cooperate with the railway system in selecting actors.”

Deputy Head Xu already felt that this situation should really be handled by his own committee members themselves, as he was a little overwhelmed if he came.

Wu Lanfang and Guo Feng looked at each other. The leaders of this song and dance troupe were really interesting. Both Commissioner Luo and their Captain Wang were talking about individuals. They could not only brag about their own commissioners, but also boasted about the song and dance troupe.

However, Wang Yuanchao did not think there was anything inappropriate. The team's achievements are the leader's achievements.

Whenever the leading comrades of the Railway Art Troupe go out, who won’t brag about our Railway Art Troupe’s song “Love My China”?
