Chapter 377 Waiting to Watch the Show
When Li Qin arrived at the Central Courtyard carrying a small stool, he once again showed a look of surprise.
He thought the general meeting would continue while he went home to park his car, but he didn't expect that these people would choose to wait for him.
Li Qin first casually placed the stool in an empty spot, and then addressed the crowd;
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting!"
Although he didn't know whose idea it was to wait until he arrived to continue the meeting, the deed had already been done, and he still had to say something about the delay.
Even if that wasn't his intention.
This is basic etiquette.
Li Qin acted very quickly, taking only a few minutes, and he apologized to everyone as soon as he arrived.
The residents who were initially a little annoyed instantly dispelled their displeasure and then all said they didn't care.
Upon seeing this, Li Qin slowly sat down.
The three stewards sitting in the high positions reacted differently when they saw Li Qin arrive.
Liu Haizhong was full of dissatisfaction, Yan Bugui was embarrassed, and Yi Zhonghai's eyes flashed with disappointment.
After Li Qin left on his bicycle, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui originally intended to continue the meeting.
However, Yi Zhonghai objected:
The reason for the opposition was that not everyone had arrived yet, and they hoped to start the general meeting of the entire college after Li Qin arrived.
He then said a lot more.
Throughout his speech, he kept mentioning that the courtyard house was a whole, but every sentence contained a lot of personal opinions.
In short, when people hear this, they will only have one feeling: it is because Li Qin alone has wasted everyone's time.
Yi Zhonghai did this to put Li Qin on the opposite side of everyone.
Although it is just a small thing and cannot achieve the desired effect immediately, it will plant a seed in the hearts of many people.
If Li Qin is absent for an extended period, the seed will inevitably grow.
Based on Yi Zhonghai's understanding of Li Qin, he originally thought that Li Qin would be delayed at home for a while before arriving.
But the result disappointed him.
Based on the timeline, it seems that Li Qin really did come right after putting down his bicycle.
What disappointed Yi Zhonghai even more was that Li Qin took the initiative to apologize to everyone as soon as he arrived.
This rendered everything he had just done futile.
Yi Zhonghai stared blankly at Li Qin.
He really didn't know whether Li Qin's actions just now were unintentional or deliberate.
If it was unintentional, then it's fine; at most, it can only be said that Li Qin was lucky.
But if it was done intentionally, then things would get complicated.
That meant Li Qin's cunning and shrewdness far exceeded his imagination.
[Emotional Power +5000]
[Emotional Power +4000]
[Emotional Power +3000]
As soon as Li Qin sat down, he heard the notification in his ear, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Such a large influx of emotional energy is definitely problematic.
I just don't know who provides the emotional power?
More importantly, Li Qin did nothing, yet he was still able to stimulate such a powerful outburst of emotions in people.
Even Li Qin himself was a little confused.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting at the top, suddenly glanced at Li Qin, then looked away and tapped the table.
After everyone had looked over, Yi Zhonghai spoke:
"Now that everyone is here, let's continue the plenary meeting."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sat up straight and looked at Yi Zhonghai and the others above them with serious expressions.
Actually, the timing of Li Qin's return was quite coincidental.
Just as the college-wide meeting was about to officially begin, Li Qin returned pushing his bicycle.
That way, you won't have to worry about missing anything.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui before continuing to speak:
"First of all, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. On behalf of the three of us in charge, I wish everyone a happy festival and good health and all the best."
After saying this, Yi Zhonghai immediately cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the crowd.
Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui immediately followed suit and bowed.
Upon hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, the people below couldn't help but smile.
Regardless of the circumstances, the other party is offering their blessings, which is neither a bad thing nor a bad thing to say.
As is customary in previous years, after saying all that, Yi Zhonghai and the other two will probably talk about some trivial matters and remind the residents of the courtyard house of some small things.
Then it's time to happily end the meeting.
But this year, Yi Zhonghai did something different.
After he finished saying his blessings, he suddenly got up and went to the deaf old lady.
The deaf old woman remained seated in her chair, showing no reaction to Yi Zhonghai's actions, as if she had known beforehand.
At this moment, a look of watching a show flashed in Li Qin's eyes;
Is that so? Let's watch the show!
In Li Qin's opinion, both Yi Zhonghai's actions and the deaf old woman's steadfastness gave him a strong sense of theatricality.
Of course, it's also possible that Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman didn't think the residents in the courtyard were too clever.
Therefore, they didn't do much disguise.
Li Qin, however, had traveled from modern society and had seen plenty of acting, which allowed him to spot the anomaly.
After noticing the anomaly, Li Qin did not rush to expose Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman.
He decided to continue watching.
Now that they had figured out what Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman were up to, the surrounding residents were also looking at Yi Zhonghai with some curiosity, as were Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.
Yi Zhonghai is doing things without consulting them first.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yi Zhonghai first bowed deeply to the deaf old woman, and then addressed the people around him.
"As everyone knows, the old lady is the ancestor of our courtyard house, not only because she is the oldest;
Furthermore, it was because the old lady's family had all sacrificed their lives; she was a martyr's family member.
At this point, Yi Zhonghai looked around at everyone.
Upon hearing his words, the expressions on the faces of the surrounding residents all turned serious.
The gaze directed at the deaf old lady was also filled with respect.
The people of this period were very simple and honest. In addition, the country had just been established, and people no longer had to live hand to mouth like before.
Therefore, the people have a deep and heartfelt respect for those soldiers who defend their country.
Needless to say, this applies even more to the families of martyrs.
The deaf old woman was able to earn the respect of everyone in the courtyard precisely because she established herself as the family member of a martyr.
Seeing the respectful expressions on the faces of everyone present, Yi Zhonghai showed a satisfied look.
Meanwhile, the deaf old woman who had been sitting there without saying a word now had a sad expression on her face.
It's like having someone bring up something painful.
Seeing the deaf old woman's reaction, everyone's reaction became even more serious.
Everyone assumed that the deaf old woman was grieving because of Yi Zhonghai's words, which reminded her of her family members who had sacrificed their lives.
Only Li Qin showed no admiration whatsoever when he saw the reactions of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old woman.
