Chapter 353 The Value of the Dead
Today is a sunny day with a gentle breeze and clear skies. It is a good day for a memorial service.
The memorial service for Mr. Lan arrived as scheduled.
Almost everyone at the provincial company headquarters attended the memorial service, after all, it was a political task.
Chu Yang and Director Li also attended the memorial service. They felt it was "casual". The arrangement of the entire memorial service was extremely simple. There was nothing but a few wreaths and elegiac couplets. I heard that the wreaths were left by the previous deceased person and they were too lazy to change them. As long as the atmosphere was right, it was fine.
Of course, the acting skills of several family members were not very good either. They had gloomy faces the whole time and seemed very reluctant, without any sadness or tears.
However, after Director Fan and Director Xiao from the power headquarters arrived, the atmosphere became more lively. Director Li's wife Zhang Qing came over and choked up a few words appropriately, then hugged Director Lan's wife and cried her heart out, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.
This woman has always been strong, but today she is extremely fragile.
Chu Yang guessed that she was also very close to Director Lan’s family.
The others were also somewhat moved.
Finally, on behalf of the company, Director Li distributed a condolence payment of 100,000 yuan to Director Lan's family. My sister-in-law finally felt it and tears came to her eyes. She also cried in a daze. After the funeral music, Director Li began to give a eulogy. His voice was loud, high and full of emotion, as if he was reciting a poem.
"We mourn Comrade Lan Tian with deep sorrow. Comrade Lan Tian was the pride and honor of our Aigu Past Company. He was a noble, pure, moral person who was free from vulgarity and beneficial to the people..."
"Since I took office, I have always emphasized the construction of spiritual civilization. A group of people with high moral standards have emerged in the company, among which Director Lan is one of the most outstanding representatives. His glorious deeds will surely cleanse and purify the souls of those who have lost their way in this materialistic society..."
Everyone was very sad after hearing this, and some even covered their faces and cried.
After Director Li finished speaking, Director Xiao also gave a speech. It turned out that he was also Director Lan's comrade-in-arms, no wonder he was called here.
Director Fan also gave a speech later. He was not Director Lan's comrade-in-arms, but he had worked under Director Lan before. Director Lan had promoted him, so he was also very moved.
I won’t talk about the content, but it was obvious that his speech was very ordinary and intermittent, not as good as Mr. Li’s. Maybe he was not prepared. However, his unprepared words seemed much more sincere.
It's just that I said too much and before I could finish my words, the time was up and someone came out from outside.
Everyone was so scared that they were stunned.
I thought it was gangsters.
It turns out that this is the most popular hall with the best feng shui in the funeral home, where memorial services are held.
Someone else was going to hold a memorial service in this hall, and when the time came, they would definitely come over to negotiate. Director Li came out and talked to him, saying that he loved the company and asked them to be more patient for half an hour, but they still refused to give in and nothing he did would do.
Chu Yang quickly went up to hold him, whispered a few words to him and it was done.
Everyone was shocked.
Fan Qisi secretly asked Chu Yang what he said, and Chu Yang said, "Add money."
Zhang Shuyu smiled slightly, perhaps feeling that it was out of place in the sad atmosphere, and immediately became sad and hungry again.
Even she, who is so innocent and cute, knows that she has to play a role today. It is the same for others.
The memorial service for Director Lan was over. Everyone turned their grief into appetite and set out together to have a big meal. It was as if someone had died in the village, so several tables would be set up for the whole village to eat. This was etiquette.
Director Li was unusually active tonight, and he was drinking happily with Director Fan and Director Xiao. Chu Yang even thought they were too sad. Later, Chu Yang carried them back one by one.
A dead person actually smoothed out the relationship between the three people.
…
Half a month later, when everyone thought that Director Li would fall, good news came out. That is, Director Li would be re-elected for another term. As soon as this news came out , the company entered into a kind of dream world again.
Everyone found it incredible. Some people who had chosen sides in advance began to regret their choice. They were also afraid that Mr. Li would retaliate, so they began to frequently come to Chu Yang to find out the situation.
Chu Yang didn’t know what others thought. He was very calm and didn’t feel anything at all.
Because he knew that the outcome of this matter could not be decided by someone's words or a letter of complaint. Mr. Li was not a simple person. Perhaps when Mr. Li decided to hold a memorial service for Mr. Lan, the matter had already been decided.
As the last value of a dead person, he died a worthy death. However, Mr. Lan's will clearly stated that no memorial service would be held, but Mr. Li did not do so. Is this considered a blasphemy?
But no matter what, he was relieved that everything was settled. As long as he was still Mr. Li, he was still Secretary Chu, and he was still the high and mighty Chu Yang. This was very important and the most important, wasn't it?
At noon, Chu Yang ran into Director Liu. His face had turned ashen, and he looked constipated, as if he had just returned from a deadly swamp. Chu Yang deliberately called out in a sarcastic tone, "Director Liu."
Most people call Mr. Li "Mr. Li" or "Chairman Li". Chu Yang deliberately called him "Director Liu", omitting the "long" to distinguish him. He obviously understood what Chu Yang meant. He gave Chu Yang a gloomy look, snorted coldly, and left without saying anything.
His secretary turned around and glared at Chu Yang, haha.
Chu Yang didn't know why, but he was very happy. When he entered the office meeting, he immediately congratulated him and said, "Boss Li, congratulations."
Mr. Li’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Don’t talk nonsense about things that haven’t been concluded yet.”
Chu Yang said "oh" and thought to himself, aren't you too calm?
Soon Director Fan and Director Xiao led the team down to conduct the final vote. It was actually just a process that everyone understood because the candidate had been decided in advance and it had to be Director Li.
So why do we have to go through this process? Chu Yang didn’t dare to say, and it was difficult to say.
Anyway, the task assigned to Director Fan and Director Xiao is to ensure that the person elected is Director Li. If not, they have failed to carry out the task well and will be derelict in their duty.
The election process was very formal. You could fully feel the seriousness of the venue. Everyone was serious and upright. After Director Fan made a speech, he also talked about some precautions for the company's election.
Finally, a voting ticket was issued.
This was the first time Chu Yang had seen such a simple voting ticket, with just one name: "Li Jiakun". The organizing committee had really put a lot of thought into it, really wanting to ensure that the wishes of their superiors could be fully realized, so there was not even any competitor.
You have no choice if you want to choose anyone else.
If you agree that Li Jiakun will be the chairman of Aiguoli Company, please tick his name; if you disagree, please cross it out. Let me ask you, if you were an Aiguoli employee, what would you do?
Ha ha ha ha.
Of course, there is another option "Other", you can choose someone else and write his name.
If you have a grudge against anyone.
At this time, you can write your name on it.
Maybe it helps.
