Chapter 101: Old Zhong's Intentions
Chapter 101: Mr. Zhong’s intention
Xiaoying hugged me tightly and said:
"Changfeng, I really don't want to taste this feeling anymore. From yesterday to now, my heart has been suffering. We have never had such friction before. I only now realize that this feeling is really uncomfortable..."
I gently patted Xiaoying's back, sighed and said:
"Xiaoying, isn't it the same for me? You are the most important thing in my life, a gift given to me by God. I don't force you to accept my point of view, but I have a request..."
Xiaoying looked up at me with tears in her eyes and said, "Tell me..."
I nodded slightly and said:
"No matter when, you must pay attention to your own safety. There is nothing wrong with a normal gathering between colleagues, but don't drink, don't go out with others alone, don't go to some places where you are mixed, and don't go to some places. Also, if there are similar things in the future, I hope you can communicate more with me and communicate more. I am your boyfriend, and I have some responsibility for some things. We communicate too little... Of course, this is just my request. If you feel that I have restricted your personal freedom, you can refuse..."
Xiaoying said without hesitation: "I promise you that I will do what you said and will take good care of myself... Changfeng, am I useless? My grades were average when I was studying, and I came out for an internship, and I was so worried. I didn't do a good job at work. I don't think I understand a lot of things..."
I smiled and said, "Don't say that, you are already very outstanding. In my eyes, you are the best woman in the world. What I want you to do now is to take good care of yourself, and then learn as much as possible in the company. When interacting with others, you must gradually mature. This society is actually very complicated. When I was in school, I didn't want you to come into contact with too many negative things, but now it's different. Now you have to learn to adapt to this society. Maybe I will leave the army in the future. At that time, we will start a career together. Even if I stay in the army, I still have some spare money and want to do something, but officers are not allowed to do business or stock trading. You can help me with these, so what you have to do now is learn as much as possible, and never say that you are useless..."
Xiaoying nodded heavily, with a glimmer of joy in her eyes. I sighed in my heart. Xiaoying is really a simple girl. I would rather she have always maintained this innocent heart. But this society is so complicated. Those people will not not plot against you just because of your simplicity. Xiaoying is also a strong girl. Although I have the ability to raise her for the rest of my life, she will definitely not be happy in this way, so I might as well let her adapt to this society as much as possible.
The key is that I have more time to accompany and take care of her in the future, and we have more time to communicate, because after I was transferred to the agency as deputy section chief, I don’t have to work around the clock like a company commander, going to and from get off work every day, and weekends. I believe that my relationship with Xiaoying will become stronger and stronger. After this incident, I also realized the importance of communication. In the past, I always felt that the relationship between the two people was unbreakable. In addition, the army was so busy that they rarely had time to communicate with Xiaoying. I believe that many grassroots officers in the army were like this. When they opened their eyes, they were so busy that they turned off the lights, so how could they care about their homes?
I had a meal outside with Xiaoying, and I took her home because although it was a weekend, I still had a lot of things to do. I will start preparing to hand over the company work to the next company commander. Mr. Zhong also needs to contact her to confirm whether my speculation is accurate.
Xiaoying and I seem to have been relieved, but I know that although we have reconciled, Xiaoying always disagrees with my opinion. It takes time for her to verify it. Anyway, I will often care about Xiaoying in the future and will not give others the opportunity to take advantage of it!
The first thing I did after I returned to the company was to hang up a phone call to Mr. Zhong through the military line. Mr. Zhong's voice was still so cheerful, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
I said:
"Grandpa, I'm Changfeng. I haven't contacted you for a long time! Are you in good health?"
Mr. Zhong said happily:
"Changfeng, you finally remember this old bone of mine! But I know your situation very well! Haha, a few leaders of your group army came to the headquarters for a meeting some time ago, and your army commander didn't know where we learned about our relationship. I admire you in front of me! Now the old men of the General Staff know very well what you performed in the competition. Everyone wants to see my powerful grandson, haha!"
I said embarrassedly:
"Grandpa, this is too exaggerated. There are more people who are better than me..."
Mr. Zhong continued:
"It's not good for young people to be too modest! Everyone in your previous unit praised you. This is not a light weight, haha!"
I know that grandpa is talking about the shadow group, and we tacitly understand each other on this issue.
Grandpa continued:
"A few days ago, your army commander called me to report your situation! He said that you were leading new recruits and his grades were also very good! He also said that if you agreed to give you a battalion if you had good grades in the year-end assessment, I immediately said, then I would arrange to be a deputy section chief in the agency! Haha, Changfeng, do you know why I didn't let them be a battalion commander for you, but asked you to go to the agency?"
This is my main topic! I carefully tentatively said:
"Grandpa, are there any actions on it?"
Grandpa laughed and said:
"I just said Changfeng has a keen sense of political smell! The general political trend can be inferred from a small change in position..."
I asked in confusion:
"But... the deputy chief of the training department... seems to have no effect on the action!"
Grandpa said, "Haha, Changfeng, talking to smart people is easy! That's right, the position I set for you is the head of the Security Section of the Political Department. Do you understand what I mean?"
My heart suddenly pounded. The head of the security department is a deputy regiment officer. If my grandfather arranged this way, from the scope of the security department's work function, he would give me the task of eliminating the cancers of our division to me, but that was a deputy regiment. According to normal development, an officer started from the grassroots platoon leader. When he reached the deputy regiment position, he was at least in his thirties. I, an officer who had only been graduating for half a year, even if he made a significant contribution and had made military achievements of second-class merit or above, could still be astonishingly improving the speed...
Grandpa didn't hear my voice for a long time, and couldn't help but smile and say:
"Why, a deputy team position scares you? This is not your style! Changfeng, there are many people who are major and lieutenant colonels at your age! And those people's father or grandfather are not as good as mine! Don't think that your improvement speed is like a rocket. Let me tell you, your old classmate, Wang Bang, the unworthy grandson of the Wang family, is now a major assistant to the General Secretary. He is all major, not to mention that you have made outstanding contributions to the country..."
After listening to my grandfather's words, I felt relieved. In fact, this is a very common phenomenon. The difference is that compared to those ignorant playboys, my own abilities are worthy of the position given to me and are competent for my job, rather than being a parasite like them.
I said with a smile:
"Grandpa, I understand, but can you rest assured that you have given me such an important task?"
Grandpa laughed:
"If it was Changfeng half a year ago, I really had to consider it, but now you are much more mature than when you went to the military academy. Moreover, this task is only a small part of our overall plan, and you will not fight alone. I will tell you the specific deployment at that time. You will have a transition period in the training department, ranging from two months to six months. During this period of time in the agency, all you have to do is to behave properly and not let others see the flaws..."
I was stunned for a moment and asked:
"That's to let me do nothing? How can this work?"
Grandpa smiled and said, "You're finished listening to me! We have collected the evidence well enough, especially your army. We don't need to take risks anymore. Your position before serving as the security section chief is just a transition. If you alarm them during this period, isn't it worth the loss?"
I said thoughtfully: "Well, from a small perspective, we don't need to do any work, but from a global perspective, you must have a lot of things to do!"
Grandpa sighed and said, "This matter is very complicated! The scope of involvement is very wide, otherwise it would not be delayed again and again. However, there is nothing happening there at the moment. Yang Jiangtao is still the political commissar. You are generally safe in the xx division. Just pay attention to some places yourself!"
I said, "Yes! Grandpa, don't worry! I'm waiting for your order in Fuzhou! You should take care of yourself too! If I have time, come to Beijing to see you!"
Grandpa smiled happily and said:
"Okay! Welcome! I think that girl Xiaojie wants to see you too!"
I couldn't help but stay for a moment. Zhong Jie, this girl with a distinct personality, doesn't know what's going on now. Do you have a boyfriend? But I obviously don't know how to ask Mr. Zhong about this kind of question. We hung up the phone after chatting for a few words.
After getting the answer confirmed by Mr. Zhong, I felt much more relaxed. When I hung up the phone, I began to consider the transfer. The first thing was the candidate for the successor. According to convention, I could suggest to the organization that Lin Feng had too little qualifications and had no time to adjust the company at all. Moreover, his performance could only be described as a regular basis. It would be very difficult to make the powerful division organs led by the division commander agree to promote him in an extraordinary way.
It seems that I can only consider Liu Yi. Although my level has been promoted very quickly, I have been in this army for a short time. In addition to my own leadership style, I have very few "direct descendants" in the true sense. Most of them are soldiers. Although Liu Yi is a political cadre, the officers below the company are not yet established. Moreover, his military qualities are relatively strong and I can still trust his character. I believe that he can be competent for the company commander. The first company is the first unit I work for. I have deep feelings for the first company and the officers and soldiers of the first company. No matter where I go in the future, I hope that my company will not decline.
On Monday, as soon as the working hours came, I called Political Commissar Yang and suggested that Liu Yi take over my position as company commander. Political Commissar Yang also promised me to try my best to fight. After doing this, I began to consider handing over. I wanted my training reform to continue in the company. Just so happened that I will serve as the deputy section chief of the training department for a period of time. I plan to pilot my training method for a period of time. If the effect is obvious, I can use my power to promote this training method across the entire division, and strive to make our ace division's combat effectiveness reach a higher level, because struggle is about struggle, as an army, combat effectiveness is the bottom line.
At noon, I called the correspondent and said to him:
"Go and call Deputy Instructor Liu and Platoon Leader Lin over!"
The correspondent said: "Yes!"
Then I turned around and left. I thought about it, called him back and told him to call Xiao Hanbing over, and then I returned to the house and waited.
In a short while, the three of them walked into my room. I said:
"Sit all, I'll call you all today, I have something to announce..."
Everyone looked at me with inquiring eyes and said:
"I may be transferred soon and I will be the deputy section chief in the training department..."
The three of them took a breath of cold air at the same time. They were all old comrades who had been in the army for many years. Knowing what the deputy section chief was, Lin Feng first reacted, and he said astonished:
"You are the official battalion! Company Commander, you are on the rocket!"
I smiled faintly and said:
"The organization's order has not been released yet, so I shouldn't have revealed this to everyone, but I think you are brothers, so I tell you in advance, and I have to explain some things too! I hope you can keep it a secret for me before I leave!"
All three of them nodded, and I continued:
"I have suggested to the organization that Liu Yi will be the company commander and Lin Feng will be the deputy company commander. I don't know whether Liu Yi's company commander can be appointed, but you must be mentally prepared to be the top leader. I don't want to see a company falling in your hands!"
There was a glimmer of excitement in Liu Yi's eyes, and he said:
"Company Commander, don't worry! As long as I am the company commander, I will definitely do it well! And Isn't it that my brothers support me! You can go to the agency with confidence!"
I nodded and said:
Chapter completed!
