I, strive for the prosperity of the motherland! 【system】

Chapter 1206 I hope our profits will double next year, and our bonuses will double too!

Many people in the audience were cheering, asking Su Xing to perform another act.

Su Xing thought for a moment, then held up the microphone and said with a smile, "Master Sun, who was playing the erhu just now, could I borrow your erhu for a moment?"

Mr. Sun was stunned and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Someone next to him reached out and nudged him, "Old Sun, what are you thinking about? President Su wants to borrow your erhu!"

Master Sun snapped out of his daze, quickly picked up the erhu beside him, stood up and said, "Yes, yes, of course."

He walked towards the stage.

Once offstage, he held up the erhu and handed it to Su Xing.

Su Xing walked to the edge of the stage, bowed, accepted the erhu, and smiled, saying, "Thank you."

Master Sun chuckled, "No need to be polite..."

The host had already called a staff member to place a chair on the stage.

Su Xing placed the microphone on the microphone stand and adjusted its height.

Then she picked up her erhu, sat down in a chair, and began to test the sound.

The employees below the stage looked at this young boss, Mr. Su, with curiosity.

Does she really play the erhu? A young and pretty girl like her doesn't seem quite right for the erhu...

Even Qin Houze and Liu Zhenghong looked at her in surprise. Little Su can play the erhu??

Zhuang Yi stared at Su Xing on the stage, his expression somewhat dazed. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the scene from several years ago at the Jingdezhen Ancient Kiln Scenic Area, when she painted lotus scroll patterns on porcelain bowl blanks...

After testing the sound, Su Xing looked up at the audience and said with a smile, "Since everyone wants me to perform another program, I will borrow Master Sun's erhu and play 'Joyfully Delivering Public Grain' to pay tribute to all of us working together with this lively melody. I hope you all enjoy it!"

The audience applauded enthusiastically.

As the applause subsided, Su Xing began to play "Joyful Delivery of Public Grain".

As the erhu music began, the audience fell silent.

This is an erhu piece composed in the 1970s. It is based on folk songs from Hebei Province and incorporates the rhythmic characteristics of Peking Opera tunes. It transforms the labor scene of "delivering public grain" into a musical language that combines the texture of the times with the vitality of the people. It can be regarded as a classic example of folk music composition.

The core of the piece will utilize three major techniques: legato bowing, staccato bowing, and glissando, to recreate the cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere of a labor scene. Playing this piece at an annual meeting would be quite appropriate.

The piece opens with a brisk rhythm, with short, powerful staccato bow strokes simulating the sounds of rolling wheels and hurried footsteps. It evokes the lively scene of villagers pushing grain carts and hurrying along in the morning light, instantly drawing the listener into a vibrant atmosphere of labor.

The main melody features smooth legato bowing, and the bright tone of the erhu outlines a relaxed and melodious tune, conveying both the joy of harvest and the workers' love for the land and life.

The interspersed minor third glissando is a brilliant touch, carrying the unique playfulness and liveliness of northern folk music.

Everyone in the audience thought Su Xing played the erhu exceptionally well, it was so cheerful!

Although most of them don't understand the erhu, they can tell from the rhythm that this piece must be quite difficult.

Master Sun, who could play the erhu, stared wide-eyed, stretched his neck out, and even opened his mouth involuntarily.

He thought that this young Mr. Su only knew how to play the erhu a few times and could play a simple tune at will.

I never expected her to start with such a difficult piece! And she played it so well!

Qin Houze and Liu Zhenghong were also very surprised by Su Xing's erhu skills.

Liu Zhenghong said, "Wow, Xiao Su plays the erhu really well!"

Qin Houze said, "I only just found out that she can do this too..."

Although they use Weibo now, they don't check their phones often, and they've never actually seen a video of Su Xing playing the erhu taken by a passerby.

Su Xing recently posted a sheet music for "Flight of the Bumblebee" on Weibo, which they couldn't understand. They only realized it was for the flute after reading her comments. They were already surprised that she could play the flute, but they didn't expect her to play the erhu so well!

Zhuang Yi stared blankly at Su Xing playing the erhu on the stage.

He didn't quite understand why her hobbies were all so...old-fashioned.

Is it because her major is... traditional?

After Su Xing finished playing "Joyfully Delivering Public Grain," she stood up, bowed to the audience, and said, "I've made a fool of myself."

Once everyone came to their senses, they burst into even more enthusiastic applause.

"Clap clap-!"

Many people are applauding it.

"sounds amazing!"

"President Su did a fantastic job!"

"Mr. Su, one more song!!"

At first, the employees felt that their boss, Ms. Su, was quite distant. But after she played an erhu piece, they suddenly felt that she was very approachable and down-to-earth.

Su Xing smiled and said, "Thank you everyone for your support. I'm so happy to receive such a warm response! But I've already performed all the programs I prepared for today. I didn't prepare any extra pieces, and I can't just throw something together and let everyone down. I'll perform properly next time when I have the chance. Let's leave the stage for other great programs today, okay?"

The commotion subsided.

The host walked onto the stage, and Su Xing, carrying his erhu, walked off, leaving the stage to the other performers.

Su Xing returned the erhu to Master Sun, saying, "Thank you, Master Sun."

"Mr. Su, you're too kind." Master Sun gave Su Xing a thumbs up. "Mr. Su, your erhu skills are truly amazing!"

Su Xing laughed and said, "I'm just learning to play in my spare time. Your erhu playing is also excellent."

After exchanging a few words, Su Xing returned to his seat.

Liu Zhenghong said to Su Xing, "Little Su, you are truly multi-talented!"

Qin Houze also said, "It sounds very professional!"

Su Xing humbly replied, "No, no, I can't compare to professional erhu players; I'm just an amateur."

The annual meeting continues.

The program included a variety of activities such as shows, games, raffles, and awards ceremonies.

Many outstanding employees received awards such as trophies, certificates, and bonuses.

Employees who didn't win any prizes or draws weren't discouraged, because this year Enjoyjoy gave every employee a generous year-end bonus, which wasn't distributed at the annual meeting, but was deposited into their salary cards along with this month's paycheck.

At exactly 8 p.m., a huge cake was brought out.

Qin Houze, as the biggest boss of "Xiangqu", took the first cut.

The crowd cheered and shared the large cake.

As the annual meeting drew to a close around nine o'clock, everyone gathered around the "Wishing Bucket" in the corner to write greeting cards.

Someone wrote, "I'll spend more time playing soccer with my son next year," while someone else drew a smiley face and wrote, "I hope the production line runs smoothly..."

Finally, Qin Houze held up the microphone and shouted, "Let's get together here again next year! We'll eat the cream cakes we made ourselves and look at photos of our new workshop!"

"Okay! Let's meet again next year!"

"I hope our profits will double next year, and our bonuses will all double too!"

"Our factory will get better and better!"

In the night outside the window, it seems as if the sweet fragrance of next year has already drifted in.
