Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

Colorful flags were flying on the pier, and gongs and drums were blaring.The new domestically produced destroyer No. 186 blew its whistle and sailed into the military port with its head held high.The officers and soldiers of all ships cast sideways glances of envy and admiration, while Chen Jianjun left the crowd without saying a word.Starting today, the flagship status of the 180 ships will not be guaranteed, and they are no longer the vanguard of the Dongjiang base.He didn't want others to see his loss, and felt a lot of pressure at the same time.With the continuous development and improvement of national defense science and technology, the speed of weapon replacement has accelerated, and new technologies and new tactics have emerged instead. The experience he is proud of is being impacted and challenged.Can I still break out of the encirclement?Can you still realize the dream of the flagship captain?He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.Chen Jianjun's actions did not escape Zheng Yuanhai's eyes, he took a few steps to keep up with him.

"Deputy chief, why are you leaving? You don't even take a second look at such a beautiful warship?" "What's so interesting?" Chen Jianjun pretended to be calm on the surface. "I don't know if I can fight a war. What's the use of being beautiful?" Zheng Yuanhai laughed, and suddenly twitched his nose twice: "What did the cooking class do at noon? Put so much vinegar?" Chen Jianjun sniffed it: "No?" He immediately understood, "Okay Zheng Yuanhai, you said I couldn't eat grapes and said grapes were sour?" Zheng Yuanhai laughed loudly: "Vice Chief, I believe that you will dominate Ship 186 in a short time."

Chen Jianjun smiled wryly. What Chen Jianjun said next surprised Zheng Yuanhai. He had already received the order and Lu Huaicheng asked him to disembark. This confirms the rumor that Zheng Yuanhai just came back from the shipyard and Lu Huaicheng refused to let him board the ship. It said that Lu Huaicheng regarded him as a graduate student very much. Take office.Now that 186 has just entered the port, Lu Huaicheng let him off the ship. It seems that this matter is probably true. In the end, no one expected that Lu Huaicheng let him disembark from the old ship, which had nothing to do with the new ship.

One afternoon a few days later, under the arrangement of Lu Huaicheng, Zheng Yuanhai walked into the examination room. After taking the written test, he went to the interview. "Please answer all my following questions in French, do you understand clearly?" The examiner sat upright. "Clear!" As soon as the words came out, Zheng Yuanhai's heart began to pound. In the past year, Gu Gu has been tossing around at sea, and his French level is really unsatisfactory. The examiner then asked: "I heard that before enlisting in the army, the school will send you to a famous school in Beijing for graduate study without taking the test, but you persistently choose the navy? Why?"

Zheng Yuanhai understood, but how to answer still needs to organize the language in his brain. "Please answer!" the examiner urged. "Because of my dad, I joined the Navy to continue his dream." Zheng Yuanhai's not-so-fluent French made the other examiners look up, and his answer surprised them. "My father was a member of the navy back then. Because the Chinese navy was not strong enough, he gave something more important than his life, that is, the pursuit of his life became unattainable. The weakness of the navy caused me to lose my heart since I was seven years old. Father, a child who lost his father lived a poor life with his mother. What is even more unbearable is that after his death, his father still bears the notoriety of a sinner. Our family has suffered countless blank stares and ridicules for this, and we have tasted all the hardships in life. Hardship and suffering. So in order for more children to have the love and care of their father, and to complete the road that my father did not complete, I chose the navy!"

After Zheng Yuanhai narrated, he looked at the expressions on the faces of several examiners, and he began to feel nervous. He really had no idea about his French level. The examiners whispered to each other.After a long while, the examiner raised his head: "Zheng Yuanhai, although your oral English is not very proficient, but the content is very exciting. Several of our comrades present were very moved and decided to make an exception for you. Congratulations, you have passed our test." At this time, Zheng Yuanhai still didn't know the purpose of the exam: "Examiner, can I ask the purpose of this exam?" The examiner was surprised: "Don't you know?"

"The chief of staff only asked me to learn French, and didn't tell me what to do? But... I think I guessed it." "Tell me?" "Going to study in France?" "To the French National Defense University." The examiner nodded with a smile. The good news fell from the sky, which made Zheng Yuanhai very excited, but he had no time to celebrate for himself, so he hurriedly bid farewell to his comrades-in-arms and returned home to pack up. The mother was worried when the son traveled thousands of miles, Xu Xinfang watched her son wiping away tears. "Mom! Look at you, it's not like my brother won't come back." Zheng Xiuzhu wiped her tears for her.

Zheng Yuanhai came over to comfort her: "Mom! I'm already old enough to take care of myself, so don't worry! I'll write you a letter when I arrive in France." Xu Xinfang raised her head and gave her son a firm smile with tears in her eyes.Although he didn't say a word, Zheng Yuanhai understood everything in his mother's eyes at this time.Ever since his father passed away, my mother has been in conflict. On the one hand, my father had placed high hopes on him before his death, hoping that he would be able to fulfill his unfinished business and dreams when he grows up; on the other hand, my mother knew his His personality is too much like his father, and he was worried that he would follow Zheng Ji's old path. He was always hesitant on the issue of serving in the navy, and even thought about preventing him from joining the army.Facing Zheng Ji's portrait, Xu Xinfang was in a dilemma, and finally had to agree with Zheng Yuanhai's insistence.Now, there is only one meaning in Xu Xinfang's smile, child, you are a good person, and your father will be proud of you.

Nan Kejiang had just returned from the long voyage when he heard that Zheng Yuanhai was going to study in France, so he asked for leave and came to see him off.This was the first time he saw Zheng Xiuzhu after he missed the appointment last time.Seeing him coming, Zheng Xiuzhu turned and left the house without saying a word, Zheng Yuanhai smiled and winked at him, Nan Kejiang chased him out embarrassedly. "Xiuzhu, that day... we suddenly received an order to go to sea, it was a long voyage, so we came back today, don't be angry! I will definitely celebrate your birthday with you next year."

Zheng Xiuzhu knew that Nankejiang was going to sea for a long time, and she just pretended to be angry to show him. After hearing what he said, the anger immediately disappeared: "Why are you so narrow-minded? You are not angry! Actually, it is not my birthday that day?" Nan Kejiang looked at her suspiciously: "Isn't it your birthday?" "Didn't I tell you? My dad picked me up when I was young, and I don't even know when I was born!" "Then yesterday? Ah..." Nan Kejiang suddenly realized, and laughed: "It was the day we met!" Zheng Xiuzhu laughed.

Nan Kejiang glanced at the back room, and said in a low voice, "Hey? Are you really picked up by your family?" "I'm not kidding you!" Zheng Xiuzhu continued: "My mother lost Lu Huaicheng's child back then, and my father searched everywhere. He heard that someone adopted a girl, no matter how far away he was. Run to have a look, just like that, you found me home!" Nan Kejiang smiled and asked, "Hey? You are the daughter lost by Chief of Staff Lu Huaicheng, right?" "Why? Want to be the son-in-law of Chenglong Kuai? Then you will be disappointed, I am several years older than her daughter!" "If you are true, I still dare not climb high!" "Can you climb it? No one said they want to marry you!" Zheng Xiuzhu gave him a reproachful look. At this moment, Zheng Yuanhai came out with his luggage and joked to Nan Kejiang: "Kejiang, are you here to see me off?" Nan Kejiang smiled embarrassedly: "I'll take you to the airport." "No, the unit has sent a car, and it's hard to get back from the sea, so you can stay longer!" "Well, I hope you will return from your studies as soon as possible. I believe that our territorial waters will one day become a stage for you to display." "Okay! When it's my turn to perform on stage, I hope you will also be the protagonist in the play." Zheng Yuanhai said loudly.Nan Kejiang responded: "We work together!" The two said, shaking hands tightly and saying goodbye. Seeing this scene, Zheng Xiuzhu held his mother's arm and smiled: "Mom! Look at them, as long as they get together, they have nothing to talk about except the sea." When Zheng Yuanhai arrived at the airport, Lu Huaicheng had been waiting for him there for a long time.It was beyond Zheng Yuanhai's expectation that the chief of staff would come to see him off in person.Recalling the experience of the past few years after joining the army, Zheng Yuanhai at this time has fully understood Lu Huaicheng's good intentions for him.Arranging him to feed pigs on a pig farm and work as chief of staff in an office cafeteria is to temper his patience and perseverance, and to eliminate impetuousness and arrogance in him; to send him to the naval academy to study as a graduate student and to study abroad is for him who wants to take off. The sea eagle with steel wings.Being able to see him off at the airport in person today shows Lu Huaicheng's high hopes for him. "You are so busy with work, you still come to see me off in person?" Zheng Yuanhai was full of emotion, and also felt the weight of the burden on his shoulders during this trip. "You are our first foreign student to a western country, I hope you will live up to expectations." The chief of staff spoke earnestly. "Don't worry! Chief of Staff, I will remember your words." Lu Huaicheng also warned: "The navies of Western countries have been in the army for a long time and have experienced many naval battles. They have a set of advanced theories on the development of navies. These are things that our country needs to learn from! Learn with humility! Position, start to learn from ourselves as elementary school students.” "I will!" "Overseas military academies implement an elimination system, and the standards are very strict. You must always remember that this is not your business alone, Zheng Yuanhai. Your words and deeds represent the Chinese soldiers." Lu Huaicheng paused for a while and said, "The first time you come into contact with life abroad, it is complicated. You may encounter many unexpected things. Before I leave, I will give you four words - the country is supreme." "Yes! I understand." "Is everything settled at home?" Zheng Yuanhai nodded. Lu Huaicheng paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about something: "Is your mother...is someone taking care of her?" "My sister is at home, and there are a few friends and comrades in arms. They will take care of me." He looked at Lu Huaicheng emotionally, and then said after a while, "Chief of Staff, since I joined the army, you have spent a lot on me. Hard work, I understand it in my heart, thank you!" "You don't have to thank me, I'm just doing my duty as a veteran to the future hopes of the Navy." Looking at Lu Huaicheng, Zheng Yuanhai was filled with emotion. The marks of time had mercilessly climbed onto his face. Gray hair was exposed outside the military cap. People think of his appearance full of pride back then. I shouldn't hide it anymore, I should tell Uncle Lu, Zheng Yuanhai thought about it and said: "There is something... I have been keeping it from you, I think..." I don't know if Lu Huaicheng already understood what Zheng Yuanhai wanted to say, or if there were other reasons, he interrupted him and said, "I don't want to hear it right now, when you become the captain, tell me what you have on your mind!" The airport broadcast was urging passengers to check-in, Lu Huaicheng waved: "Let's go!" Although there were only two short words, Zheng Yuanhai suddenly felt like a father sending off a child who had traveled far away. From his eyes, he clearly saw the kind love and the kind of long-lost family affection. Zheng Yuanhai looked at him emotionally: "Take care!" He raised his hand and saluted the chief of staff farewell. Not long after Zheng Yuanhai left, Qin Siting and Mei Xinger graduated and were assigned to work in the Dongjiang Base Hospital.They learned about Zheng Yuanhai's study abroad in France from Yu Jidong before they left school.Although the two of them didn't say anything, they still complained about Zheng Yuanhai in their hearts. They didn't make a phone call to talk about such a big matter, they didn't take themselves seriously.The mood that I was eager to report for duty also relaxed. The Dongjiang Base Hospital was originally a tertiary hospital directly under the Naval Logistics Department. After reorganization three years ago, it was under the management of the Dongjiang Base. It retained its original scale and technical strength and was very influential in the entire Dongjiang City.After reporting for duty, Qin Siting and Mei Xing'er lived in the single dormitory building of the hospital.Mei Xing'er was not used to living alone in a dormitory by herself. At night, she hugged the pillow and crawled into Qin Siting's room, and crawled onto the bed without saying a word, as if this bed belonged to her in the first place.Qin Siting teased her, in the future you will marry an officer on the ship, once he goes out to sea, you will not lose sleep every day?I'm going to marry the officer on the ship!Thinking of Zheng Yuanhai, Mei Xing'er was surrounded by happiness.The first time she met Zheng Yuanhai in Longwan Mountain, she regarded him as a relative.The second time I was in danger on Shajiao Island, this emotion sublimated into love.No matter what Zheng Yuanhai thinks, anyway, his shadow has completely occupied her entire heart space after the two dramatic encounters. That evening, Qin Siting pushed open the door of Mei Xing'er's room, and saw that she was staring out of the window engrossed by herself.Qin Siting wanted to scare her, so she approached her quietly.Unexpectedly, Qin Siting's shadow appeared on the glass of the window, Mei Xing'er secretly smiled inwardly, when she approached, she suddenly turned around, called Sis Ting, and shook the rattle in her hand towards her.This actually startled Qin Siting, she sat on the bed covering her beating heart, and complained: "Damn girl, you scared me to death!" "Who made you want to scare me." Mei Xing'er retorted. Qin Siting noticed the rattle in Mei Xinger's hand: "How old are you, why are you still playing this?" "I'm looking at the warship painted on it, why is it different from the one parked in the military port?" Mei Xing'er said. Qin Siting took the rattle and looked at it: "Which era is this warship? Who painted it?" Mei Xing'er looked at her and shook her head. "Who bought this for you?" Qin Siting asked again. "I don't know! This is the only toy I've had since childhood." Mei Xing'er said quietly.Qin Siting was afraid that if she continued talking, it would arouse Mei Xinger's sadness about the past, so she pulled her up: "Let's go! Let's go to the night market." The night market is very lively, with the bustling stream of people, and the sound of hawking one after another.Leaving the tense and monotonous military school life, and being in the busy city, wandering in the crowd, the two of them relaxed physically and mentally. "Have you met Big Brother Yu since you came to Dongjiang?" Mei Xing'er asked. "No!" "I heard that he is now the chairman, and the officials are getting bigger and bigger." Qin Siting said casually: "The company is his own, he can be whatever he wants!" Mei Xing'er was very serious: "Sister Si Ting, when will you get married?" "Married?" Qin Siting turned to look at her, "When did I say I was going to marry him?" "Brother Yu treats you so well!" "I'm going to marry him if he's nice to me?" Qin Siting's expression was disapproving. "Don't be so stubborn!" Mei Xing'er laughed, "Then why are you making such a fuss about going back to Dongjiang?" "Go, go! What do little hairy kids know?" Qin Siting ignored her and walked straight to a clothing booth. Mei Xing'er smiled, and walked over to pick up a set of clothes to compare with her body: "How much is this dress?" "Eighty!" The stall owner then asked, "Do you want it?" Mei Xing'er shook her head: "I'll just take a look." Putting down her clothes, she turned and walked to another booth. Seeing Mei Xing'er walking away, Qin Siting picked up the dress and said, "I bought it." The two went straight to Qin Siting's dormitory after shopping, and Mei Xing'er was still chattering: "Hey, I think Big Brother Yu is a nice guy, nice, capable, handsome and masculine..." Qin Siting yelled angrily: "Are you finished?" "I'm telling you seriously, where can I find such a boyfriend?" "If you think he is good, why don't you marry him?" Mei Xing'er said mischievously: "He didn't like me? I want to find someone from the army in the future. Husband and wife follow me." Qin Siting laughed angrily: "Why did you become so thick-skinned just after you left school? Returning husband and wife..." Throwing the clothes to her: "Try to change." Mei Xing'er was stunned: "You bought it for me?" "I'm already a cadre, and I'm still so economical. When I'm a big girl, I should have some beautiful clothes." Mei Xing'er felt embarrassed: "Sister Si Ting, I want...to pay back the money to eldest brother as soon as possible." "Okay! Go back to the house and go to sleep!" Qin Siting unceremoniously gave the eviction order. Mei Xing'er started acting coquettishly again: "I want to sleep here!" She said as she climbed onto the bed, "Hey, you really don't want to see Big Brother?" Qin Siting impatiently: "He called and asked me to meet tomorrow, are you satisfied this time?" Mei Xing'er chuckled, "What are you laughing at?" Qin Siting stared at her. Mei Xing'er had a malicious expression: "Say one thing with your mouth, but do another thing behind your back." "I'm too lazy to talk to you, go to bed!" Qin Siting turned around pretending to be angry, and turned off the desk lamp casually. In the darkness, Mei Xing'er opened her big eyes thinking about something on her mind.Although he lost his mother since he was a child, he lived with his father and experienced all the hardships of life.Fortunately, she met so many good people when she grew up. Brother Zheng, Sister Si Ting, Brother Yu, and Sister Si Ting's parents, as well as the leaders and classmates in the military academy, all cared for her and took care of her. It made her, a child who walked out of the mountains, feel the beauty of life and the happiness of life.Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously, and a sweet smile appeared in my dream.She didn't expect that another important person in her life would meet her unexpectedly again. In the evening, Lu Huaicheng came to the pier for a walk, stopped when passing the 180 ship, looked up and walked towards the gangway.Just a few steps away, the private on duty reached out to stop him: "I'm sorry, old comrade, you can't go up." "You...don't know me?" Lu Huaicheng looked at him and asked. "you are?" "I am Lu Huaicheng, chief of staff of the base." "Hi sir!" The private soldier hurriedly saluted. Lu Huaicheng nodded and was about to go up when the privates stopped him again: "I'm sorry chief, but you still can't board the ship without an order from the chief." Lu Huaicheng smiled and asked intentionally: "But I'm the chief of staff. Ah, all your captains are under my control." "I'm on duty, and I'm only in charge of the shift chief." The private soldier was uncompromising. The officer on duty on the ship saw it from a distance, hurried off the ship, and saluted Lu Huaicheng: "I'm sorry Chief of Staff, he is a recruit and doesn't know you." Lu Huaicheng said to him: "Okay then, tell this comrade private that I want to board the ship and have a look." "Please, Chief of Staff." The duty officer finished speaking and picked up the whistle on his chest to blow. The navy has strict etiquette procedures. If a chief higher than the captain of the ship boards the ship, the watchman will blow his whistle, and the ship leader will come out to greet him when he hears the whistle.Seeing this, Lu Huaicheng quickly waved his hand to stop him: "I'm here for a walk, just take a look around, don't disturb the ship's leaders." After he finished speaking and walked to the ship, he didn't forget to turn around and say: "This comrade private is doing the right thing. You should praise him." "Yes! Chief!" The officer-in-charge replied at attention. When Lu Huaicheng boarded the ship, Xie Tingqun was squatting on the deck wiping a screw. The life of naval officers and soldiers is boring. Although the sea is often described by people as vast, beautiful, blue and other gorgeous words, but the feeling of being in the sea all day is seasick, monotonous, boring, and lonely. The space for activities is only warships. It's so big, there is only one more pier after docking than at sea.Xie Tingqun was the water director, and it was not his job to clean up the deck.In order to pass the boring time, he would quietly go to the deck to wipe the screws when he felt lonely for five years, and gradually developed a habit.In all fairness, Xie Tingqun was serious about his work, to the point that even he himself could not believe it. Lu Huaicheng stood silently behind him, looking at him, Xie Tingqun found Lu Huaicheng, and hurriedly got up to salute: "Chief of Staff!" "Thank you... Tingqun!" "Yes! Chief of Staff, you still remember my name!" Lu Huaicheng remembered his name, which made Xie Tingqun very excited. Lu Huaicheng looked at a row of deck screws: "You wiped them all?" "yes!" "Why don't you ask the soldiers to wipe it?" Xie Tingqun replied seriously: "I think I can wipe it better than them!" Lu Huaicheng knelt down and stretched out his hand to turn the screw. The screw cap was unscrewed smoothly, and he asked, "Can every screw here be unscrewed?" "Yes!" Xie Tingqun stood at attention and replied, "Although the sea water is very corrosive, every screw of the 180 ship will not rust." Lu Huaicheng smiled and nodded to him with satisfaction. Lu Huaicheng got off the ship and left. Xie Tingqun stood on the deck and watched his back for a long time, feeling an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart for some reason.In fact, he had no idea that these two meetings had left a deep impression on Lu Huaicheng, and that opportunities would come to him in the near future. Mei Xinger came out of the dormitory and walked towards the outpatient building. Lu Huaicheng, who was in the middle of a physical examination, came out and saw a general walking towards him. , the two passed by. Lu Huaicheng walked to the front of the car and was about to reach out to pull the car door, when he suddenly felt that Mei Xinger looked familiar, and turned to stop her: "Little girl, wait a moment!" Mei Xinger stopped walking and turned back: "Sir, did you call me?" Lu Huaicheng stared at her: "You..." Mei Xing'er recognized Lu Huaicheng first, and said pleasantly, "Oh! Chief, it's you! We met before." "You are……" "In Longwan Mountain, you go to Brother Zheng, not...to Zheng Yuanhai and the others." Lu Huaicheng suddenly remembered: "Oh! You are the one..." "Little girl herding sheep." Mei Xing'er smiled. Lu Huaicheng looked surprised: "Have you joined the army?" "Hmm! I just graduated from the Military Medical University." "Okay! Little girl, we are destined! My name is Lu Huaicheng, and I am the chief of staff of this base. If you have anything to do in the future, come and find me." Lu Huaicheng is the girl who reminded him of his daughter when they met for the first time. There seems to be an inexplicable sense of intimacy. "Yes, chief!" "Okay, I'm leaving! Hehe..." "Leader, go slowly!" Mei Xing'er watched Lu Huaicheng's car go away, and from his eyes, she seemed to see a kind of fatherly love, thinking that this world is really small!I didn't expect that people who met once could still meet today. Lu Huaicheng's secretary was transferred to a new job position. The director of the cadres handed him a list and asked him to decide on a new secretary candidate. Lu Huaicheng picked it up and looked at it and put it aside.He told the director of cadres that there was a water director named Xie Tingqun on the 180th ship, and asked him to ask the detachment if they agreed to take him.When choosing a secretary, Lu Huaicheng had his own criteria in mind. In addition to morality and intelligence, knowledge of the military and working experience at the grassroots level were essential, so he didn't want to choose within the agency, and his eyes were on the grassroots.Xie Tingqun graduated from a local university. From the two trivial incidents, it can be seen that this person is serious in his work and meets Lu Huaicheng's selection criteria in every way. When Xie Tingqun learned from Chen Jianjun that Lu Huaicheng wanted to transfer him to be his secretary, he couldn't believe his ears.If this happened a few years ago when he first joined the army, he would have jumped up happily, but today, he, Xie Tingqun, is mature and steady. Leave the view. "What do you think personally?" Chen Jianjun asked him. "Well... I'm reluctant to leave you." As soon as the words came out, even he scolded himself in his heart, Xie Tingqun, you are too duplicity. Chen Jianjun seemed to see what he was thinking: "You can think about it, the secretary works next to the chief, and the future is usually promising." "The future... I didn't think about it that much... but... if the organization needs me to go, then I will go." Chen Jianjun smiled: "Okay! I see, the captain will talk to you again, you have to be mentally prepared." Coming out of Chen Jian's cabin, Xie Tingqun strolled on the deck.Today's air is exceptionally fresh, as if you can see through the entire atmosphere at a glance.Xie Tingqun's mood was also very clear, without any impurities, and even his walking steps became extraordinarily light, as if a hydrogen balloon was lifting him up above his head, as if he was about to rise to the top.Seeing that there was no one around, Xie Tingqun finally raised his arms high and yelled out the words that had been held in his heart for five years and had been yelled countless times in his dreams, Xie Tingqun, you finally made it through. But in the next few days, the matter of being a secretary seemed to be evaporated on the deck scorched by the sun, and no news came.Chen Jianjun said that the captain still wants to talk to him, but why is there no news?Could it be that the captain was busy with work and forgot?Xie Tingqun couldn't bear it anymore, he wanted to check the captain's tone first. The captain was explaining the work to several cadres on the deck. Xie Tingqun thought for a while, then walked past them and greeted the captain. The captain just explained the work and nodded to him.Xie Tingqun had no choice but to pretend nothing happened, standing on the edge of the deck and looking at the sea.After a while, several cadres accepted their jobs and left.Seeing that the captain was about to leave, Xie Tingqun walked towards the captain again. "Captain!" Xie Tingqun brushed past the captain again. "Boatmaster!" The captain turned around and called to stop him, "I'm looking for you on something." Xie Tingqun was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned his head: "Do you have any instructions, Captain." "Recently, the training of your water management department has been a little slack. You seem to be out of shape. Is there something on your mind?" "No, no!" "The base stage assessment is about to start, you have to hurry up and get the training going!" "yes!" "Let's go!" the captain said and turned to leave.Xie Tingqun was anxious in his heart, and said: "Captain..." The captain turned his head, Xie Tingqun hesitantly asked: "You are looking for me... Is there anything else?" "No more, let's go back and hurry up to train!" The captain turned around and left after speaking, leaving Xie Tingqun there alone, really disappointed. It had been a long time since the lights went off, Xie Tingqun lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and sat up restlessly.No, there must be something wrong with some link, so he decided to go to Chen Jianjun to find out. Chen Jianjun opened the cabin door and saw Xie Tingqun: "Aren't you going to bed so late?" "Didn't you sleep too?" "The stage assessment is about to start, and I have to rush to write the recent training plan." "Deputy Chief, you really work hard every day, so pay attention to your body!" "It's okay, I can bear it. Tell me? What do you want from me?" "Well...it's about the last time you said that the chief of staff wanted me to be a secretary..." "Oh! The chief of staff changed his mind later." Xie Tingqun asked in surprise, "Why?" Chen Jianjun told him that the chief of staff attaches great importance to the construction of the front-line ship force, and always puts combat effectiveness first. It takes a long process to train a qualified ship cadre, and easily mobilizing cadres will bring a series of problems to work training, so he In the end, he denied his idea and didn't want to transfer people from the ship. Xie Tingqun was dumbfounded, and couldn't hide his disappointment no matter what. "What? Do you want to go?" Chen Jianjun noticed the change in his expression. "No... no." Although he was very disappointed, he could not lose his composure in front of Chen Jianjun, and tried to calm his emotions, "I think the chief of staff is right to think so, and I also want to train for a few more years in the grassroots troops, let alone my I am also reluctant to leave you, and now I am relieved." Duplicity, duplicity to the point of hypocrisy, Xie Tingqun secretly scolded himself when he got out of the deputy commander's cabin, wishing he could raise his hand and slap himself in the face, frustration and depression all overwhelmed him, he suffered from insomnia that night, almost did not close his eyes all night, with his eyes open Looking at the ceiling with his eyes, he sighed from time to time, lamenting the gap between ideal and reality, lamenting his bad luck, lamenting that the god of fate played a big joke on him... The next day Xie Tingqun didn't go out for exercise, this was the first time he had been in the army for five years.Chen Jianjun asked about the soldiers, and the soldiers said that Dao Shui had been ill for a long time.Chen Jianjun was as clear as a mirror in his heart, he approached the captain to discuss about letting Xie Tingqun go. The captain was surprised: "Don't you like Xie Tingqun very much? Are you willing?" "Xie Tingqun is a very likable cadre, but he is not a cadre who can really fight. We exist to prepare for war in the future. I don't think he is suitable for working on the ship. What we really need is a cadre like Zheng Yuanhai." The captain smiled, and deliberately said: "I heard that Zheng Yuanhai has often contradicted you?" "This kind of thing can be forgiven, but if there are consequences caused by improper employment in war, there is no chance to forgive." "But the Chief of Staff has changed his mind." "It's okay, as long as you agree, I'll talk." As soon as the lights-off signal rang, Mei Xing'er pushed the door in with a pillow and a playful smile.Qin Siting has gotten used to it, and is so used to keeping the door open for her every night. "I'll tell the coordinator tomorrow that it's useless to take your dormitory away." Qin Siting said while reading. Mei Xing'er giggled and climbed onto the bed: "Aren't I afraid that you will be lonely sleeping alone?" "Sleep when you sleep, don't inquire about personal privacy!" Qin Siting was obviously afraid that he would mention it to Ji Dong again, and warned in advance. It’s okay not to talk about it, but when Mei Xing’er said it, she immediately regained her spirits: “Hey, tell me.” "say what?" "What about your meeting with Big Brother Yu that day?" "Don't tell me you are not allowed to inquire about personal privacy?" "Ah?" Mei Xing'er exclaimed exaggeratedly, "It's all private! It seems that there is progress!" "Get into your head? Don't mention him." "Tell me?" Mei Xing'er begged. "Don't talk, children are not suitable for listening." "Ah?" Mei Xing'er opened her mouth wide open on purpose, "It's not suitable for children? No, sister Si Ting?" "You're going to die." Qin Siting threw down the book and turned over, pressing Mei Xing'er under her body, and strangled her neck with both hands, the two of them laughed. Enough madness, enough trouble, the two lay on the bed and began to think about their own thoughts again. Yu Jidong was very happy to see Qin Siting that day. With the experience of going to Qin Siting's house last time, he thought it was only a matter of time before he became a member of this family.He told Qin Siting that he had already made plans for their future.Qin Siting was surprised, but also calmly told Yu Jidong that she had just arrived at a new job, and she didn't want to fall in love for the time being, let alone get married.Yu Jidong thought it was just a girl's reserve and didn't care.Qin Siting is sensitively aware that Yu Jidong's pursuit may become a difficult problem for her emotionally. "What are you thinking about?" Mei Xing'er's question interrupted her thoughts, she was startled, and quickly replied: "I didn't think about anything." "Sister Si Ting, I met someone when I was herding sheep at home, and today I saw him again at the base, who do you think he is?" Mei Xing'er's thoughts returned to herself. "Who is it?" "The chief of staff of our base, he also told me, little girl, we are destined!" "Really?" Qin Siting turned sideways, "It seems that you two are really destined!" "Why do I feel that I suddenly have a very strange feeling when I see him!" "What does it feel like?" "Hmm..." Mei Xing'er thought for a while, "He seems like a very kind and kind father." "Then you will recognize him as your godfather! There will be a bright future in the future!" "Fuck you!" Mei Xing'er stepped forward to scratch Qin Siting, and the two started arguing again. "Why do you have time to see me?" Lu Huaicheng was also a little surprised by Chen Jianjun's visit. Chen Jianjun smiled and said: "You see, after you become the chief of staff, I am embarrassed to come to your house. I am afraid that others will gossip." In fact, he did not tell lies, and he really thought so in his heart. "Don't play sloppy eyes on me, so you won't be afraid of other people's gossip when you come tonight?" Chen Jianjun took out a box of tea from his bag: "It's not that my father asked me to deliver tea to you." Lu Huaicheng took the tea leaves: "Your father gave this to me?" "Of course, good tea." Chen Jianjun then deliberately whispered, "I suspect it was given to him by someone else." Lu Huaicheng pondered: "If someone else gave this to the deputy commander of the fleet, it must be good tea." He put it under his nose and smelled it: "Hmm! Good tea!" Chen Jianjun continued: "He also came here for nothing, if you don't drink for nothing, you can accept it." "Accept it, and thank your father for me." Chen Jianjun tentatively said, "I heard that you chose Xie Tingqun to be your secretary? Chief of Staff, I have to admire your foresight." "What do you mean?" Lu Huaicheng turned to look at him. "In the past, the head of the agency chose a secretary who was good at writing, discerning, eloquent, and able to do things. How can you be like you! It is correct to choose a military cadre, so correct, so correct. You He is the chief of the military, so what would it be like not to choose a secretary who understands the military. Xie Tingqun graduated from university, has no writing skills, and has work experience on a ship. I think that in the future, the chief will learn from you when he chooses a secretary." Lu Huaicheng sneered: "You put a high hat on me?" "How dare I, Xie Tingqun is really nice." "But I've changed my mind." "Hey, it can't be changed." Chen Jianjun said anxiously, "You are the chief of staff, at least you have to set an example for other chiefs in charge of the military, which is good for army building." "What about the opinions of your ship and detachment?" "There are a hundred people on our ship who agree, the detachment...the chief is also for work, do they dare to stop it?" "If it doesn't affect your work on the ship..." Lu Huaicheng pondered, "I can consider it." "What else are you thinking about? An excellent person like Xie Tingqun is perfect for you as your secretary. He will be helpful to your work and even more powerful. You should make up your mind to transfer him." Lu Huaicheng asked again: "How is Xiao Xie doing in the military?" "Professional, excellent, flexible in mind, serious in work, if you don't want it, we are not willing to let it go!" While saying this, I was thinking of Chen Jianjun, Chen Jianjun, you can't even blush when you lie. "Why do I feel that your tone of voice is a bit strange today?" Lu Huaicheng looked at the tea leaves, "The tea leaves don't seem to taste right, does it? Did your father give it to me?" “我发誓！”陈建军忙不迭地，“绝对是我爸爸的茶叶，这我敢糊弄您吗？” 鲁淮成看着他笑了，笑得陈建军心里直发毛。
