Chapter 111: A fleeting moment
"Congratulations to Comrade Lin Yuxi for winning the championship of our clothing factory design competition!" The host's loud voice echoed in the auditorium, and applause and cheers continued. Lin Yuxi stood in the center of the stage, with an excited and proud smile on his face.
"Now, please invite Comrade Shen Qingshan, the director of our clothing factory, to present the award to the champion!"
Shen Qingshan walked onto the stage with a smile, holding an exquisite envelope and a work card with the words "Chief Designer" engraved on it. His eyes passed through the crowd and landed accurately on Lin Yuxi's face, his eyes full of appreciation and satisfaction.
"Yuxi, congratulations on winning the championship of this design competition." Shen Qingshan's voice was steady and powerful, and every word revealed his recognition of Lin Yuxi. He walked up to Lin Yuxi and handed the envelope and work card to her.
Lin Yuxi took the reward from Shen Qingshan with a smile on her face. She looked down at the 100 yuan in cash, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, and then she looked up at the work card, and an indescribable excitement surged in her heart.
"Thank you, Director. I... I really didn't expect to receive such a high honor." Lin Yuxi's voice seemed to tremble. She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her excitement. "I will work harder in the future and design better works to repay our clothing factory!"
Shen Qingshan looked at Lin Yuxi with admiration in his eyes: "Your design is very creative and practical, which is what our garment factory needs. I believe you can be competent for the position of chief designer."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the audience and said loudly,
"Comrade Lin Yuxi not only has extraordinary talent and ability in design, but more importantly, she has a passion and persistence for fashion design.
I believe that with the training of our factory, she will become a more outstanding designer and design more and better works for the garment factory! Leading our garment factory to a new height! "
There was warm applause from the audience, and Lin Yuxi also showed a bright smile on her face. Seeing Shen Minghui in the audience gave her a thumbs up, she smiled even happier!
……
After the competition, the two families celebrated with Lin Yuxi. Lin Yuxi took the opportunity to ask her parents to sell her job as a quality inspector so that she could finally get some time off from her busy work.
At night, the light was softly sprinkled in the room, adding a bit of warmth to this cozy space. Lin Yuxi sat on the bed, applying body lotion attentively, and the fatigue of the day seemed to be relieved at this moment.
Shen Minghui walked in with a bulging envelope in his hand, with an obvious smile on his face.
"What is it?" Lin Yuxi turned around, took the envelope handed over by Shen Minghui, and asked casually. She gently opened it and saw several ten-yuan bills neatly stacked inside, a total of one hundred yuan. She looked up at Shen Minghui, her eyes full of confusion.
Shen Minghui explained with a smile: "This is a reward from your parents!" He reached out his hand, gently put his arm around Lin Yuxi's waist, pulled her towards him, lowered his head and kissed her lips, and smiled: "My parents said that their daughter-in-law is really proud of them and has made them proud."
After listening to Shen Minghui's explanation, Lin Yuxi's eyes flashed with surprise. She patted the envelope gently, feeling the thickness of the banknotes, then looked up at Shen Minghui with a sweet smile on her lips.
"Really? Did my parents really say that?" Her voice was full of disbelief, but more of joy and pride.
Shen Minghui nodded, and the smile on his face deepened. He gently stroked Lin Yuxi's long hair and said softly: "Of course, you won the championship in the designer competition this time, which not only brought honor to our family, but also to the entire garment factory. Mom and Dad are proud of you."
After hearing this, Lin Yuxi felt a warm current in her heart. She knew that in this strange 1970s, being recognized and appreciated by her parents-in-law meant a lot to her. She couldn't help but think of her efforts and dedication in the competition, those days of staying up late to design and repeatedly revise, which now turned into this honor and reward.
Shen Minghui looked at the joy on Lin Yuxi's face and felt extremely relieved. He knew that Lin Yuxi was a talented and ambitious woman, and she could shine with her own light no matter what era she was in. He gently put his arm around Lin Yuxi's shoulders and let her lean on him.
"Xixi, you're awesome!" he whispered, his tone full of love and appreciation.
Lin Yuxi leaned in Shen Minghui's arms, feeling his warmth and strength. She knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges she would encounter in the future, as long as Shen Minghui was by her side, she would have the courage to face and overcome them.
……
After Lin Yuxi took up her new job and became more familiar with it, Shen Minghui's transport team also started to get busy.
Lin Yuze had been in contact with Shen Minghui for a while and found that Shen Minghui's driving skills were even better than Master Gong's. More importantly, no matter whether it was a big car or a small car, he could repair and drive any car. He was full of admiration!
He tried every possible means and finally got transferred to his brother-in-law's team as he wished. He kept growing and became his brother-in-law's right-hand man!
Later, after the economy was liberalized, Shen Minghui took over the Linquan Garment Factory. Lin Yuxi was responsible for design, and Shen Minghui was responsible for other aspects such as production and sales, and continued to sell clothes to the city, province, and country!
Later, in order to facilitate transportation, set up exclusive stores, etc., logistics companies, security companies, and even construction companies were opened to form the so-called Mingyu Group!
Lin Yuze also made a prosperous living by working for his brother-in-law and became one of the first people to become rich.
However, Shen Minglei, the male protagonist in the original text, unexpectedly embarked on a path that was very different from the plot. He chose to engage in politics and became an outstanding diplomat.
He displayed a unique style on the international stage, with a calm and wise temperament and a sharp and incisive eloquence that attracted attention.
His words are sharp and precise, and he always grasps the situation at critical moments, showing excellent adaptability and diplomatic wisdom. His every move reveals elegance and calmness, as if he is a natural leader, leading the country to move forward steadily on the international stage.
Whenever the TV camera captures his figure, he always maintains that calmness and confidence that makes people can't help but fall in love with him. His smile is warm and charming, as if it can melt all the coldness and estrangement. His eyes are firm and deep, revealing his infinite vision and faith for the future.
During a conversation, someone once asked him why he chose this path. He just smiled indifferently and said, "My childhood dream!" Then he smiled without saying anything, as if everything was self-evident.
……
[Ding, congratulations to the host, "Task 1, change the fate of the family and avoid the tragedy of the previous life!" Completed! ]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, "Mission 2, protect brother Lin Tiezhu and let him live a happy life!" Completed! ]
[Ding, congratulations to the host, "Task three, get rid of Lin Qifeng and prevent him from getting close to you!" Completed! ]
Lin Yuxi heard the system sound during a trip. She smiled faintly and ignored it, concentrating on watching the sunrise in the distance with the person in front of her. The glow of the sunset filled the earth, warm and gorgeous.
Over the years, Lin Yuxi and Shen Minghui have walked through spring and autumn hand in hand. They have witnessed the rise of the motherland, watching the Chinese people go from bowing their heads to holding their heads high, with their backbones becoming more resilient and upright. Every exciting moment, every time the motherland takes off, makes them feel extremely proud and excited.
Now, the two are in their twilight years, and the flame of life is about to go out. However, at this moment, they heard the news anchor's clear and excited voice: "Today, our country's independently developed spacecraft was successfully launched, marking that our country has officially entered a new era of interstellar exploration!"
As the news of the nationwide celebration came, the two elderly people, both over 100 years old, smiled at each other, and finally left this world with great satisfaction and relief.
