Chapter 44: There is always someone to add fuel to the fire

Erqi Theater
At the end of the group study session, the committee members emphasized again the "creative" tasks assigned previously, and encouraged all units, cadres, and literary and artistic creators to actively contribute their wisdom and enthusiasm to the great cause of the country and to demonstrate the excellent quality of railway workers who dare to be the first.

Excellent works will definitely be fully recognized by the group.

Wang Yuanchao finally saw his interviewers on the podium again, including his leader, Director Jin.

After the committee members and group leaders left, Director Jin waved to him.

Wang Yuan looked around and confirmed that it was indeed him who was being called, so he hurried forward.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

Director Jin smiled and said:
"Xiao Wang, you've been here for a week, right? How do you feel?"

Wang Yuanchao thought for a moment and said:

"Section Chief Lin has mapped out a development path for me that is suitable for my growth. Following the three senior comrades in our department, I have a deep understanding of all aspects of our art troupe. He requires me to be fully aware of all aspects of the art troupe's business, so that I can shoulder the important tasks given by the organization in the future."

Wu Lanfang told Zhang Yang, the deputy section chief, was only a level 3 clerk, administrative level 21, not yet a deputy section chief. The deputy section chief was just an office job position.

Director Jin's eyes tilted. If he hadn't explained it to Lin Bai personally, he would have been fooled by this kid. He clearly told the other party to let him go, because he still needed to observe carefully to see how good this kid was and whether he was worth investing in.

Let’s not talk about literary and artistic talent for now, these days, safety comes first, right?
If he has the right temperament, he has not yet decided whether to be a creative talent or a business all-rounder.

Just like Captain Han said, get the wild geese first, and there’s no rush to braise or steam them.

He smiled and said:
"What do you think about the work assigned by the committee?"

Jin Guangjie's words were not aimless. If this kid can perform well in the work assigned by the committee, then his future position will be a creative expert. He just needs to contribute his talents when there are creative tasks.

With creative talent as a foundation, business performance will definitely soar, right?
Why didn’t the committee issue any mandatory tasks?
The Railway Art Troupe still has a gap in foundation compared to the art troupes of other military units, coal mines, etc. People know their own business and can only encourage, not force.

As a committee member, don’t you want to produce talented people and results?

But this is not like singing, dancing or acting in a drama, it has to create something out of nothing and make it good out of something that already exists, which is difficult!

Things that are forced out are eye-catching and shameful.

If Jin Guangjie can help the committee members relieve this concern, what else does he have to worry about?
Wang Yuanchao didn't dare to confront Director Jin, and said:
"I had some immature ideas. The other day, Section Chief Lin mentioned the fifty-five ethnic groups, and I was inspired. Recently, I have been composing music with the instrument group."

Director Jin's eyes brightened and he moved closer:

"Oh? Do you need me to say hello to Captain Huyan?"

Before Director Jin finished speaking, the head of the song and dance troupe next to him, Hu Yansheng, stood up and said:

"What instructions does Director Jin have?"

Jin Guangjie smiled even more brightly.

……

Ming Chengjian was so angry that he was about to burst into tears when he saw the little brat Wang Yuanchao being called to the podium by the big leader for a talk.

He said sarcastically:
"It's a pity that he is so arrogant because of his talent,"

If he was talented, it would be fine, but Wang Yuanchao's pitiful talent would only lead to an ugly failure.

Li Hui didn't want to speak up for Ming Chengjian, but Wang Yuanchao's modern poetry was so good that he could do it too! So he agreed:

“I guess that ‘Love Life’ is just a product that has been held back for many years.”

Zhang Yang nodded and said:
"Writing is a natural skill, and it is achieved by chance. It is not easy to write a good article. If there is such talent, it may not be our turn, right?"

Although Ming Chengjian was a little conceited, he had to admit what Deputy Section Chief Zhang said. This was what the great poet Lu You said! "He really has that kind of talent, haha."

If one really has that kind of talent, a level five literary and artistic level is a must, and levels one, two, three, and four are no problem at all.

The first level of literature and art, the political treatment is equivalent to the eighth level of administration, and the salary is equivalent to the seventh level of administration.

The third level of literature and art is equivalent to a bureau-level cadre, and is the same level as the members and heads of the art troupe.

Their art troupe is very famous, but they don't have such talents at the moment.

It is not their turn to accept such talents for the time being.

Damn it, it’s just thunder without rain!

The plain-language poetry of Ya is revealed. How glorious it is now, how miserable it will be then.

The three of them chatted idly, watching Wang Yuanchao chatting happily with Director Jin and Team Leader Huyan. The enthusiastic eyes of their colleagues from other departments and teams around them made them feel extremely envious even though they despised Wang Yuanchao's audacity.

However, Li Hui felt that his enthusiasm over the past few days was wasted. He really thought the other party was so talented until he saw the song "Love My China".

As for the people in other departments and groups, seeing the young man chatting and laughing with the senior leaders, they all knew that this newcomer who has been in the limelight recently was indeed favored by the senior leaders. Ming Chengjian, the young talent in the business department, took the initiative to help shout everywhere, and it seemed that he was not bragging.

"I heard that our Captain Liu wanted to snatch this young comrade. What was his name?"

There are always people who like to watch the fun and add fuel to the fire.

Someone nearby immediately echoed:
"Wang Yuanchao!"

Xie Fei looked a little unhappy.

He has always been conceited and thought he performed very well during the interview. As soon as he joined the drama troupe, he wanted to charge for the role of Xu Yunfeng, the male protagonist in the popular drama "Red Rock". Their family is the most red heritage, and his father is as great as Xu Yunfeng. Isn't this a role tailor-made for Xie Fei?
Unfortunately, the male lead has so many lines, but he hasn’t memorized them yet.

This aroused the sarcastic jealousy of colleagues.

Yes, they were jealous, jealous of Xie Fei's background, image and talent.

As for the fact that Captain Liu also wanted to snatch Wang Yuanchao, he refused to believe it at first. After all, Captain Liu had shown great favor to him during the interview. But he had heard this more often recently, and he could not help but feel hostile towards Wang Yuanchao.

How could that poor boy be so worthy? How could a hutong kid compare to a courtyard kid?
Does he have the integrity of Xu Yunfeng?

Can he memorize the entire script?
The actors in the Red Rock crew can basically recite the entire script, not just their own lines.

Xie Fei felt that it was too cheap to compare himself with Wang Yuanchao. But his colleagues' instigation made him speechless with anger.

But since no one mentioned anyone by name, he couldn't take the initiative to identify himself with the person.

Even more angry.

He walked straight over in a rush of emotion.

Director Jin, his father had brought him to visit Director Jin! He didn't believe that Wang Yuanchao, who looked so shabby, came from such a family.

The colleagues who were fanning the flames nearby were horrified when they saw this scene. Damn it, they were just teasing the new guy to let him know that he should respect the veteran comrades, why did he rush up like that without any reason?

There were colleagues nearby, some were gloating, some were sympathizing, and everyone could only watch Xie Fei walk step by step towards the podium, towards Wang Yuanchao.

"Tan Fei, that Xie Fei, is he also a newcomer who came in with you?"

Tan Fei from the Logistics Department was just talking about Wang Yuanchao with her colleagues. The two of them joined the company together, and were brought to the office by Secretary Wu Lanfang. If Wang Yuanchao didn't look young, everyone would have encouraged Tan Fei to take the initiative.

Tan Fei also knew Xie Fei. Their families lived not far from each other. Xie Fei used to chat with him, but after he joined the art troupe, he didn't even say hello to her when he saw her on the street. Humph!
