Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 374: Arrangement of Exhibition Hall

After He Lai cleaned up the room, he went to meet Sha Zhu.

Soon, Li Huaide's confidant Feng Gong also came over with a bunch of meal tickets in his hand.

Feng Gong spoke up: "Everyone, please be quiet. On behalf of Director Li, I will give you meal tickets. Everyone, listen carefully. This meal ticket is divided into breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Each person will get five days' worth first. Take them all. There is a large cafeteria behind our guesthouse. We will eat there from now on!"

As Feng Gong spoke, he distributed the meal tickets in his hand to everyone in the room. When he gave the last ticket to He Lai, he gave him nine more and signaled with his eyes that he should accept them.

He Lai didn't refuse. He smiled and nodded and accepted it.

Feng Gong was very satisfied. After all, it was Li Huaide who personally ordered to take care of He Lai, and He Lai was also a section chief, so he deserved more care.

"Okay, everyone just got off the train, you must be tired, go to bed early and get some sleep, gather at the gate tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the Canton Fair exhibition hall together."

After Feng Gong finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Brother Zhuzi, I've given you the ticket. Please help me buy it when the time comes."

He Lai directly gave the bill to Sha Zhu and said.

"Okay, leave it to me." Sha Zhu said as he took the meal ticket with a smile.

"Then go to bed early. It's getting late. You have to get up early tomorrow!"

After He finished speaking, he left and returned to his room.

After locking the door, He Lai went into the space to rest. He felt uncomfortable after sleeping on the bed for two days! He quickly lay down to relax.

……

The next day, the people from the steel rolling mill gathered together and waited for Li Huaide to come so that they could go to the Canton Fair.

"Brother Zhuzi, change into a shirt quickly. Aren't you hot wearing so much? Let me tell you, Guangcheng is very hot during the day! Go quickly."

He Lai saw that Shazhu was wearing two pieces of clothes and his coat was quite thick, so he quickly asked him to go back and change.

There is no way around it. Guangdong has a tropical climate and the weather in October is still very hot, with the highest temperature estimated to be 29 degrees. It is better to wear less.

"He Yuzhu, I told you to wear less, but you refused to listen!"

Xu Damao laughed beside him.

Sha Zhu had no choice but to run upstairs to change clothes in embarrassment.

"Everyone listen to me. Don't wear too many clothes. It's easy to get heat stroke. Guangcheng is not like our Forty-nine City. The outdoor temperature here is much higher."

He Lai said to everyone again.

Soon, those who were wearing thick clothes ran back to change clothes.

When everyone had changed their clothes and gathered outside again, Li Huaide also came over.

Li Huaide looked at the number of people and when he found that everyone was there, he took everyone to the Canton Fair.

The 1959 Canton Fair was held in a newly built exhibition hall located on Qiyi Road. The hall had 10 floors and an exhibition area of ​​3.45 square meters, which was really huge!

The main products on display in the first phase of the Canton Fair include electromechanical products, hardware tools, and building materials.

He Lai and his colleagues belonged to the mechanical and electrical department and were assigned to the second floor.

When He Lai and his companions arrived at the booth, they found that there were two booths, one large and one small, one for grinders and the other for lighters.

Both booths have a table and two chairs.

In the large booth, there were three grinding machines that had been shipped in advance, as well as two large boxes, which probably contained lighters.

"He Lai, I'll leave it to you to arrange the booth. Any questions?"

Li Huaide said as he looked at the empty booth.

"Director Li, that's fine. There's nothing much to do with the mill. All we need to do is connect it to electricity. Then we can go to the market and buy some cornmeal. We can then compare it with the cornmeal produced by our mill. This will help highlight the benefits of the mill.

Of course, we still need some corn kernels, otherwise it would be difficult to demonstrate. "

He Lai said.

"Okay, I'll report the electricity issue later. As for cornmeal and corn kernels, I'll ask someone to buy some this afternoon. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Huaide nodded.

"As for the lighters, I think we need a display stand, something like a bookshelf, or something like the wine cabinet we saw when we entered the exhibition hall. That shelf looks beautiful.

Also, get some silky paste, spread it on the shelf, and then put our lighter on it. This way, our lighter will look very high-end.

In that case, I think when foreign merchants come and see this display, they will definitely be impressed and willing to buy it, so we can give them a good price. What do you think, Director Li?"

He Lai made his own suggestion.

"Okay, I'll talk to the person in charge now. If it's okay, I'll bring it to you. Xiao Xu, Xiao Feng, you two come with me, and the rest of you will follow Comrade He Lai's arrangements."

Li Huaide felt that what He said made sense, so he gave an order and took Xu Damao and Feng Gong away.

Then He Lai started to direct everyone to work. First, clean the table, the floor, and everything else, and try to make it spotless! Then he took out the mill and placed it against the wall.

After it was done, Li Huaide also brought Xu Damao back. I don't know how Li Huaide did it, but he really got a wine cabinet shelf and dozens of brightly colored silks.

The shelves were set up first, and then Yu Li and a few other girls spread the silk on them. Finally, lighters of various styles were placed on them. After He Lai's constant adjustments, each lighter finally looked as it should.

When Li Huaide saw the exhibition hall after it was decorated, he was very satisfied and nodded repeatedly. Especially the lighter exhibition hall, which was completely different from the exhibition halls of other factories!

After seeing this, the leaders of other exhibition halls followed suit and asked their employees to clean the exhibition halls and arrange the machines neatly!

"He Lai, you are amazing. You are worthy of being the youngest and most promising person in our factory. You can do anything. Don't you agree?"

Li Huaide said with a hearty laugh.

"Yes!" Everyone answered happily, and they were very happy looking at the two exhibition halls they had cleaned up.

"Thank you for the compliment. Thank you for the compliment. There are still many things I can't do."

"Oh? What can't you do?"

Li Huaide asked with a smile, and the others also wanted to know what He Lai didn't know, maybe they could do it themselves!

"For example... forget it, let's not talk about it." He Lai originally wanted to talk about having children, but he thought it would be better not to joke about it. After all, this era may not be able to withstand such jokes.

"I know what Xiao Laizi can't do. He can't cook!"

Sha Zhu said at this time.

"Huh..." As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, he was booed.

"Okay, He Yuzhu, Xiao Laizi just doesn't like cooking. I remember Xiao Laizi made me a bowl of bacon and cabbage when he was a child, but it was a little salty!"

Xu Damao said.

"If it's too salty, what else can it do!"

"What do you know! Xiao Laizi was only nine years old at that time! You could cook when you were nine!"

"I can!"

"you…"

"Stop! Brother Zhuzi, Brother Damao, please pay attention to the occasion, the occasion!"

He Lai advised in a low voice.

Suddenly Xu Damao and Sha Zhu realized that they had been acting stupid again and stopped talking in embarrassment.

"Haha... It's okay, it's okay. It's good to lighten the mood. But He Lai, what on earth can't you do?"

Li Huaide continued to ask with a smile.

"Ah... Director Li really wants to know?"

"miss you!"

"Um...I can't have children! Does that count?"
