Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Mei Degui has been depressed for the past few days. His main purpose of coming to see Mei Xinger is to get some money to go home and get married. When he found out that his daughter’s monthly salary is not much, he was very disappointed. Except for Qian's boyfriend, the matter of asking for money has never been said.But Mei Xing'er seemed to see what he was thinking, and before seeing him off, she stuffed two thousand yuan into Mei Degui's hands, and told him to save it later before sending it to him.Mei Degui knew that it was not easy for her to save these two thousand yuan, so she repeatedly evaded, but finally accepted it under Mei Xinger's insistence.

Yu Jidong personally went to the airport to pick up Manager Wen, a customer representative of a company in the south. On the way, he happened to meet Mei Xinger to send Mei Degui away.Yu Jidong stopped the car and exchanged a few words with Mei Degui's father and daughter. Manager Wen in the car kept looking at Mei Xing'er, looking at Mei Xing'er and Mei Degui, thinking about this old guy What kind of panacea did you take, but with such virtues, you gave birth to such a beautiful daughter. That afternoon, Lin Xue walked into Yu Jidong's office angrily, and threw the contract on the table without saying a word.It turned out that Manager Wen had read the contract and did not make any statement. He repeatedly delayed and refused to sign the contract, and hinted that Lin Xue hoped that Mei Xinger would accompany him for a drink at dinner.Yu Jidong was calm on the surface, but he was very anxious inside. He had been planning for this business for several months. Could it be that all his previous efforts were wasted because of this?

In order to make a deal, Lin Xue persuaded Yu Jidong: "If you want me to say yes, why don't you have a drink with me? With so many of us present, what else can happen? Why don't you just agree?" "No, then who am I and Ji Dongcheng?" "This is a big deal, with a profit of at least one million yuan. The most urgent thing is to get him to sign it." Yu Jidong thought for a while and said: "If you go to Haojue Hotel to book a private room, the food and drinks will be of the highest quality. I will accompany him to drink again in the evening." Lin Xue smiled wryly: "What's the use of you going? They want you to be my younger sister to accompany you!"

Yu Jidong was in a hurry: "If you are told to go, you can go!" Lin Xue grabbed the contract angrily, turned and left. That night, in the luxury private room of the Haojue Hotel, Yu Jidong showed great hospitality in front of Manager Wen, constantly persuading him to drink and add food. Hearing that the manager's food was tasteless, he showed displeasure: "How strong is this wine?" Yu Jidong had no choice but to smile: "Mr. Wen, you can see that I, Yu Jidong, did my best in this scene, and I sincerely do business with you." Manager Wen replied bluntly: "I didn't come all the way here to drink your glass of wine!"

"Well, since everyone is sincere, let's talk about business first." Yu Jidong said and handed over the contract, "If you have no objection, please sign it." Manager Wen blocked his hand: "I've read it all, the contract is fine, and it will take effect with a swipe of my pen, but... Oh! Mr. Yu, I have a problem, I can't sign when I'm in a bad mood .” Yu Jidong had no choice but to put down the contract: "That's good! We'll sign again when you're in a good mood. Come, I'll toast you!" Manager Wen said something in his words: "Boss Yu, this Wuliangye... is a good wine, but on this occasion... it doesn't taste good." The cup he picked up was put down again.

Yu Jidong suppressed the anger in his heart, still smiled and grabbed the bottle and said, "Manager Wen, my brother risked his life to accompany the gentleman today, you have one drink, I'll drink three, how about it?" "Forget it!" Manager Wen didn't give him any face, stood up and said, "Anyway, I'm tired today, Boss Yu, we're here today, I'll take a step first." Yu Jidong was so angry that his face was livid, Tan Long was about to get up and had a fit when Yu Jidong pushed him down on the seat.Manager Wen picked up the bag and just walked to the door when Lin Xue led Mei Xing'er in.

Lin Xue smiled all over her face: "Hey! Manager Wen, where are you going? My sister wants to have a drink with you!" When Manager Wen saw Mei Xing'er, his face burst into joy: "Okay, okay, I have to drink this wine well." Turning to Yu Jidong, he said, "Boss Yu, we have to keep drinking this wine." Yu Jidong forced a smile on his face: "Okay, drink!" He gave Lin Xue a dissatisfied look. When the lights came on, the military port wharf, which had been bustling all day, finally quieted down. Zheng Yuanhai leaned on the railing to listen on board 186, and the melodious sound of a violin came from afar.Jiang Xizi came behind him at some point, saw him lost in thought, and couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking, old platoon?"

"Listen, Si Ting must have done it." Jiang Xizi sighed: "The piano is really like a person! Just by listening to the sound of the piano, you can tell that Dr. Qin must be a beautiful, kind and talented woman." "It's up to you to say." Jiang Xizi seemed to hear something behind the scenes: "Old Pai, it doesn't seem right. The sound of the piano conveys a sad mood. Doctor Qin must be in a bad mood." Zheng Yuanhai sighed: "Maybe it is!" Jiang Xizi turned to look at him: "It must be because of you." Zheng Yuanhai glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense."

"I've seen it a long time ago, she likes you." Zheng Yuanhai didn't comment, and remained silent. Jiang Xizi asked, "What about you? What's your attitude?" "Like Captain Chen, I have sworn that I will never get married if I am not a captain." "Then you have to be in love! What is your attitude towards Dr. Qin?" Zheng Yuanhai sighed and said: "Xizi, to tell you the truth, I... am very afraid of losing my friend Si Ting. It was so good when I first joined the army..." He paused for a while and then said, "It takes a lifetime It’s good that we can all live in the same age group, so we don’t have to think about so many things…”

"Don't talk about it, I understand. You have more friends for Dr. Qin than that...that...just that. At the same time, you don't want to lose her as a friend, right? What's more in your heart is Are you nostalgic for those days in the past, you are so impressed by those days, so you don't want to lose her as a friend, right?" "Why are you talking so much?" "Old platoon, let me tell you..." "Call me Deputy Chief!" Zheng Yuanhai glared at him and muttered, "How many times have I told you?" "Yes! Old platoon..." Jiang Xizi covered her mouth when she realized she had made a slip of the tongue.

"I have no memory!" Zheng Yuanhai turned and left. Jiang Xizi rushed up to him: "Everyone has a nostalgic mentality, so you don't want to change the impression of Dr. Qin as a friend in your heart, right..." Manager Wen drank until the root of his tongue became stiff: "Good wine, really good wine! Wuliangye! Come on, Mei Xing'er, let me have another drink with Brother Wen." Mei Xinger said awkwardly, "I really can't drink." "One cup, just one cup!" Manager Wen was aggressive. Lin Xue persuaded: "Mei Xing'er, just have a cup, it's fine!" "I don't know how to drink. I must be drunk after drinking these." "It's good to be drunk, a girl's drunkenness is flattery, good!" Manager Wen looked at her maliciously. Yu Jidong got up to help Mei Xinger: "I'll drink for her!" "No, I'll drink with you alone later." Manager Wen turned to Mei Xing'er and continued, "Mei Xing'er, don't you want to save face?" Mei Xing'er had no choice but to pick up the glass: "Then... I'll just drink this." After swallowing the wine, she choked and coughed repeatedly. After going back and forth, Mei Xing'er had already drunk too much, and felt dizzy. The people and everything in the room turned around in front of her eyes. In order to avoid losing her composure, she hurriedly stood up shaking. Yu Jidong winked at Lin Xue, Lin Xue understood, and said to Manager Wen, "Manager Wen, let me help Mei Xing'er go to the bathroom!" After the two went out, Yu Jidong said to Manager Wen: "Mr. Wen, there is plenty of wine. Let's drink slowly later and get down to business first." Manager Wen was drunk, but he ignored Yu Ji East.Yu Jidong suppressed his anger, and said with a smile on his face, "You won't...have any objections to this contract?" Manager Wen smiled maliciously: "Any opinion? No, but..." Lie down and whisper in Ji Dong's ear. Yu Jidong's face changed drastically, and he said coldly, "Manager Wen, have you drunk too much? She is a soldier." Manager Wen yelled loudly with the help of Jiu Jin: "I like soldiers, female soldiers, with temperament! How is it, Mr. Yu?" Jian Yu Ji Dong continued silently, "It's not your own sister, don't be so stingy! " Yu Jidong turned to smile: "Sign it!" Manager Wen was ecstatic: "Heartless! Haha! I'll take her away in a while. Boss Yu, you are worthy of being a big business, so refreshing! Haha..." He took the contract and signed it. Yu Jidong watched the contract slowly close with a smile, took out the car key and handed it to Tan Long, "Mei Xing'er drank too much, let her get into my car first, and I'll take her back later." Manager Wen was startled: "Hey, Boss Yu, you...wouldn't go back on your word, would you? We've agreed..." Yu Jidong stood up and his face became grim: "Manager Wen, I'm sorry!" "Stop!" Manager Wen yelled, "Yu Jidong, you didn't accept it just after you signed it?" Yu Jidong sneered and said, "Manager Wen, it seems that the contract doesn't require Mei Xing'er to accompany you back to the hotel, does it? Do you want me to call Chairman Huang to check?" Mr. Wen gritted his teeth with hatred: "You... Yu Jidong, fine, you are ruthless! Kill the donkey!" Yu Jidong squeezed out a few words: "Kill the donkey? I fucking want to kill you!" He slammed the door and left. Manager Wen rolled his eyes in anger, grabbed his bag helplessly, and was about to go out when the waiter opened the door and came in: "Sir, please settle the bill. The total is 4,760 yuan." Manager Wen shouted loudly: "What are you talking about? They invited me!" "They said it was your treat!" The waiter kept a professional smile on his face. Two tall security guards then came in and looked at him coldly. Manager Wen lost his drunk all of a sudden and obediently paid for the bill. Outside the hotel, Yu Ji Dong opened the door to get into the car, glanced at Mei Xing'er who was drunk in the back seat, and started the car.Just as Lin Xue was about to open the door to get into the car, Yu Ji Dong locked the car with a bang.Lin Xue patted on the car window and shouted: "Ji Dong, where are you taking her?" The car window fell down, revealing Ji Dong's sullen face: "Lin Xue, I warn you, don't do such things in the future! Slamming on the accelerator, the car jumped forward, leaving Lin Xue standing there alone, watching the car go away. When Mei Xinger opened her eyes the next day, she found that she was lying at Yu Jidong's house, and Yu Jidong had already prepared breakfast for her.Looking at Mei Xing'er who was blushing, Yu Jidong smiled and greeted her to eat. After the meal, Yu Jidong drove Mei Xinger back to the army.Yu Jidong said while driving: "This is the first time I've cooked for a girl when I grow up. How does it taste?" "Well, it's pretty good, rich and delicious!" "Really?" Hearing this, Yu Jidong was very happy and couldn't help asking. Mei Xing'er sat in the passenger seat and watched him secretly, thinking that this man is not only successful in his career, but also considerate, how could Sister Si Ting look down on him?Thinking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Brother Yu, do you really want me to be your younger sister?" "What do you really want? That's right!" "Why?" The smile on Yu Jidong's face disappeared: "I grew up! My family was poor, and I was always bullied by my classmates when I was in school. There was a female classmate who was younger than me in the class who always stopped them from beating me. We just went to and from school. Let's go together, she will call me brother!" "What happened later?" Mei Xing'er asked. "She's dead." A trace of sadness flashed across Yu Jidong's face. "Huh?" Mei Xing'er widened her eyes in surprise. "It was also because her family was poor. After school, she went to the factory to pick up waste products. A bare wire fell on the ground. She thought it was a waste wire, so she reached out to pick it up. As a result...she was thirteen years old when she died. I didn't go to school on Sunday. Since then, I can't see poor girls." Mei Xing'er looked at the sad expression and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you this, it made you sad." Yu Jidong turned his head and smiled at her and shook his head slightly. At the hospital, Mei Xing'er got off the car: "Brother Yu, do you want to go in and see Si Ting?" Yu Jidong hesitated: "No, I should go to work at the company too." "Okay then! Thank you for sending me, and such a delicious breakfast!" Mei Xing'er smiled at him and turned to the outpatient building. "Mei Xing'er!" Yu Jidong called to stop her from behind. "Is there anything else, Brother Yu?" Yu Jidong walked up to her, hesitated to speak, hesitated for a while and finally said: "Please tell Si Ting for me, just say...just say I miss her very much." Turned around and drove away.Looking at the car going away, Mei Xing'er couldn't help feeling a bit of regret in her heart. She couldn't understand why sister Si Ting was indifferent to such an excellent man, and besides, he was so infatuated with her, so devoted. That night, as soon as the lights-out signal sounded, Mei Xing'er hugged the pillow and squeezed onto Qin Siting's bed. "Sister Si Ting, I want to ask you something, Big Brother Yu treats you so well, why don't you care about him?" Mei Xing'er asked. "Why did you mention him again?" "I think he's really nice, don't you...have no feelings for him?" "No!" Qin Siting looked dismissive. "How is it possible?" Mei Xing'er raised her voice and said, "He treats you so well..." "Okay, you have to have feelings? He treats you well." "That's two different things. He said he treats me like his own sister..." "By the way, where did you go with him last night?" Qin Siting asked deliberately pretending to be serious. "Huh? How do you know?" "He sent you back, I saw through the window." "Hey hey..." Mei Xing'er laughed. "Stop smiling and be honest." "I drank too much and stayed at Brother Yu's house for one night." "Ah?" Qin Siting stared at her with wide eyes in surprise. "Brother Yu is afraid that sending me back will not be seen by others, why are you so nervous?" Qin Siting glared at her: "Who is nervous? It's none of my business." "Don't get me wrong! I think Brother Yu is really nice. He slept on the sofa in the living room all night." Qin Siting looked at her with a smirk on her face: "Oh! You want him to..." "Oh! You're going to die..." Mei Xing'er hit Qin Siting with a pillow, and the two of them were laughing on the bed. The annual live ammunition shooting assessment of the Dongjiang Base has begun. A huge formation composed of more than 20 ships of various types is sailing on the sea. From a distance, it looks like a steel Great Wall standing on the sea. Ever since the warship left Hong Kong, Chen Jianjun has been unhappy. It stands to reason that they are the best ships of the Eastern Fleet, and they should appear as flagships in the formation during military operations. The newly appointed commander Lu Huaicheng unexpectedly boarded the old ship Looking at the 298 ship's flagship flag raised, Chen Jianjun's heart became more and more uncomfortable. "The commander may have his own considerations." Zheng Yuanhai saw his inner thoughts and wanted to comfort him. Chen Jianjun was indignant: "It's obvious that he doesn't trust us, but I think he still has a grudge against me, Chen Jianjun." "No, don't think so." "It doesn't matter if you look down on me, I will prove it to him!" Chen Jianjun turned to a captain and said, "Notify all departments, show your real training skills, whether it is a mule or a horse, now it's time to take it out for a walk. " When the formation arrived at the predetermined sea area, the ships immediately formed into a battle formation and maneuvered into formation. Following the order from the formation command post, the main and secondary guns of each ship fired in unison, and the targets set on the sea were blown into the air one after another. In the command room of the 186 ship, everyone clapped hands and celebrated ten groups of targets. They hit the best results of the whole formation. A lieutenant stepped forward to report: "Captain, Ji Zhi reported that the next assessment content is to launch a missile attack on the target of the enemy's large destroyer!" "Full left rudder, heading 60 degrees to the southeast, seize the right position!" Chen Jianjun issued an order. "Captain, we shouldn't determine the direction of attack before receiving the notification of the enemy's position." Zheng Yuanhai reminded him. Chen Jianjun smiled smugly, pointed at the sea with confidence and said, "I have been shooting this kind of target for more than ten years, and the sea targets are placed there every year." "Captain, we should use the radar to lock the target first after receiving the enemy's notification according to the requirements of actual combat. In a real war, it is impossible to know which direction the enemy is coming from before we find the enemy's situation." Chen Jianjun disagreed: "This is not a real war! We just want to be the first in the entire formation to launch and the first to hit the target." Zheng Yuanhai said persistently: "Although it is an assessment, we should do it according to actual combat." Chen Jianjun's expression became serious: "I am the captain, and I am responsible for the sweat that the entire ship's officers and soldiers have put in during the training in the past few months." "But you should be more responsible for future wars and the lives of all officers and soldiers on the ship." Zheng Yuanhai argued. "That's scary enough for you to say." "Captain, I understand that you want to achieve good results, but what if the target is not placed in the southeast direction?" "You have only been on the ship for a few days? I have been fighting for more than ten years, and it has never changed." What Zheng Yuanhai wanted to say, Chen Jianjun waved his hand: "Stop talking, at least ten years later if you want to be qualified to say such things to me." Turning around, he ordered, "Shooting circle seventy-five, sea breeze missile Two rounds, pre-shoot check!" Zheng Yuanhai muttered: "You know where to fight before the enemy shows up, that's amazing." He turned and left. As expected by Chen Jianjun, the targets of two large destroyers appeared at 28 nautical miles on the port side of Ship 186.He smiled smugly, and with an order, the missile roared out and hit the target accurately. Three days later in the afternoon, there was applause in the conference room of Ship 186, and joy filled everyone's faces. Chen Jianjun held the certificate in his hand and said to the crowd: "The honor is not easy to come by. It is earned by the hard work and sweat of the officers and men of the whole ship. I suggest that the certificate of the first place in the whole training assessment should be awarded by our ship's talented deputy captain Zheng Yuanhai." hang." Amid the applause of the crowd, Zheng Yuanhai reluctantly stepped forward to accept the award and hung it up.In his eyes, this certificate is worthwhile, and the reason why Chen Jianjun asked him to hang it in public has only one purpose, to convince him. Of course, Chen Jianjun saw Zheng Yuanhai's displeasure, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yuanhai, if you want to be an excellent naval officer, education is not enough, experience is more important. What you must master to become an excellent captain, I firmly believe that you will be able to do it." At first glance, the words sounded earnest, but in fact there was something in them. Zheng Yuanhai, who was depressed, sat alone in a corner of the pier in a daze, when Lu Huaicheng stood behind him. "Commander!" Zheng Yuanhai hastily stood up and saluted. "Seeing your appearance, what bothers you?" Lu Huaicheng asked him. "No." Zheng Yuanhai asked for a while, "Commander, we... don't quite understand why the flagship is not our 186 ship when we are in formation at sea?" "As the deputy chief, don't you understand?" "I... just don't understand!" Lu Huaicheng smiled: "Young cadres are so impatient. Your captain Chen Jianjun will definitely not ask such a question, and he will not understand." Zheng Yuanhai didn't make a sound. "You are the best ship in the entire fleet, I tell you clearly, you are the ones who will be tested." Zheng Yuanhai suddenly understood: "We don't set the base finger on our ship because we want to maximize our ship's autonomous command capability!" Lu Huaicheng smiled: "At the beginning, you were assigned as the deputy captain of the 186 ship because Chen Jianjun's military technology was second to none in the entire fleet. This time, he achieved the excellent results in the full training and assessment, which once again proved his comprehensive command ability. , you need to learn more from others in the future, and strive to transform your academic qualifications into abilities as soon as possible. In addition, if you want to become an excellent commander, you must not only have excellent organizational management and command skills, but also temper your own character. Being calm and steady is a necessary psychological quality for a captain." "I know. Commander..." Zheng Yuanhai hesitated to speak. Lu Huaicheng turned to look at him. Zheng Yuanhai changed his words: "Don't worry, I will remember your words." "How is your relationship with Chen Jianjun?" "pretty good!" Lu Huaicheng said for a long time: "To tell you the truth, when I let you board the 186 ship, my only worry was the relationship between you and Chen Jianjun. You two are too strong, and sparks are easy to spark." He added, " You are the deputy commander, you must have a good relationship with him, when the ship goes to sea, everyone is a family, we stand together through thick and thin, we live and die together, and disharmony is a taboo." Zheng Yuanhai nodded: "I understand." "If the seagull wants to fly alone in the sea, it will not work without an old man. You are still young, and you should listen to Jianjun when you encounter problems." After Lu Huaicheng left, Zheng Yuanhai returned to the ship, and saw Chen Jianjun standing on the side of the ship with a stern face, waiting for him: "What did you say to the commander?" "I did not say anything?" Chen Jianjun turned his eyes to the sea, and said with a pun: "No matter how powerful a drop of water is, it is still a drop of water. Only when it is combined with countless drops of water can it be called a sea, and it can hit into a huge wave, otherwise..." After a pause He added, "No matter how powerful this drop of water is, it will be evaporated by the sun soon." Zheng Yuanhai was about to open his mouth to say something, but held back. "It's been a year, and the comrades on the whole ship have been training for nothing, just to let the base leaders admit it, deputy commander, I believe you have a sense of the overall situation." Chen Jianjun turned and left after speaking. In order to celebrate the good result of winning the first place in the entire fleet in the assessment, Chen Jianjun decided to have dinner for the entire fleet. Looking at the scene where the officers and soldiers toasted to each other, Zheng Yuanhai and Political Commissar Shen were worried, and secretly arranged for the chief secretary to replace the drinks of many officers and soldiers with drinks.Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the battle alarm rang throughout the pier. It turned out that on the day of target shooting, each ship hit the target in the shortest time as if they knew the target position in advance.This made Lu Huaicheng feel strange. Thinking of the unchanging shooting process all these years, he suddenly realized that he didn't want to give out this award, but after much deliberation, he finally decided to give it out.He wanted to see how many people trained for this award, and how many people thought that everything would be fine after the assessment, and had no concept of combat readiness in their minds.In Wang Hongye's words, this is not a certificate but a smoke screen. The order was quickly conveyed to the ships, and the formation was assembled and sailed to the No. 2 sea area. Chen Jianjun lay on the bed seriously drunk and couldn't get up. Zheng Yuanhai had no choice but to issue an order: "Attention all departments, I am the deputy captain, and now I am acting as the captain. Anyone who drank tonight will be replaced and laid off, ready to be deployed from the dock... " After arriving at the No. 2 sea area, Jizhi sent an order: launch missile attacks on the targets of large destroyers at sea, and each ship searches for the target by itself! Political Commissar Shen said in bewilderment, "Why are you here again after you just finished the exam during the day?" "I'm afraid it's not that simple this time!" Zheng Yuanhai shouted into the microphone, "The reconnaissance radar and the J-type radar are turned on, and other technical equipment pay attention to observing the sea, and the Sea Breeze missile enters the pre-launch inspection!" "The direction of the target should be in the southeast." Commissar Shen reminded. Zheng Yuanhai replied solemnly: "That's for assessment, and what we should consider more is fighting." The reconnaissance results are constantly being reported: "There is no target found within the search range of the reconnaissance radar!" "The J-type radar shows that there is nothing on the sea except for two fishing boats in the northwest direction!" Political commissar Shen said, "What is the commander trying to sell?" Time passed by, Zheng Yuanhai's brain was spinning rapidly, catching any suspicious information, and suddenly shouted: "Fishing boat? Are you sure it's a fishing boat?" The lieutenant in front of the radar screen replied: "The target is moving, it must be a fishing boat!" "No, it's not a fishing boat. It must be a moving target boat. The target area is under martial law. How could there be a fishing boat appearing, lock on the target, and prepare for a missile attack!" At this moment, the command sent an order to stop the attack after exceeding the attack time. There was no movement in the next two days, but the officers of each ship knew in their hearts that this was the calm before the storm, and everyone was under tremendous pressure in their hearts. They knew that Lu Huaicheng would not Let them go so easily. Sure enough, Lu "Butcher" got angry, and his voice made the windows of the combat conference room buzz and shake: "As a result, everyone saw it? No ship responded when the dead target was replaced with a live target. We shouted all day to get closer to actual combat." Training, training close to actual combat, is this actual combat? Will the enemy ships in actual combat remain motionless like targets for us to hit?" He glanced at everyone, took out a piece of paper and said: "Now I announce a list, 186 ships Captain Chen Jianjun, Deputy Chief Zheng Yuanhai, Captain Li Shuquan and Deputy Chief Huang Jialiang of Ship 296, Captain Gao Yan and Deputy Chief Wang Weiming of Ship 298, Captain Guo Daxing and Deputy Chief Zhao Gang of Ship 299...including officers and soldiers of all your ships...now , I tell you with a heavy heart that this is a list of martyrs, a list of martyrs who died in naval battles! Fortunately, it is an assessment. If it is an actual battle, what I am facing today is not you, but this list of martyrs! Lots and lots of your family members, lots and lots of family members who call me Lu Huai an idiot! In this situation, you are martyrs at best, and criminals at worst, because many innocent soldiers will follow you to pay their blood The price!" After a while, he said again, "I paid attention to it on the day the certificate was issued, and many comrades were full of energy and spirit when they came to the stage to receive the award, but can this kind of happiness be compared with the losses on the future battlefield? It is impossible to equate it!" After looking at the crowd, he shouted, "Chen Jianjun!" "Here!" Chen Jianjun stood up. "You are too courageous. The whole ship drank to celebrate and drank too much. Do you dare to say that your first place result is not watery? Today I am here to publicly criticize you. After you go down, write me a review. , and then follow suit!" Chen Jianjun replied loudly: "Yes!" Lu Huaicheng softened his tone: "Today, I also want to review to everyone. As a commander, I have a responsibility. I shout to prepare for war every day, but I only focus on the report card and ignore the actual combat. From now on, I hope you will not Just focus on the awards, but keep your eyes wide open and stare at the future battlefield." Everyone in the audience looked at each other, but Chen Jianjun looked at Zheng Yuanhai. In the meeting room of Ship 186, Chen Jianjun slowly took off the certificate in front of all the cadres, turned around and said to everyone: "When this certificate was hung, some people felt uncomfortable. From now on, I, Chen Jianjun, will never let anyone poke me in the back I am the backbone of the entire fleet, and I am also the best captain in the entire fleet, and Ship 186 is also the ship with the best performance in the entire fleet!" After speaking, he threw the certificate on the table, turned and left. Zheng Yuanhai's heart was heavy, and he sat there motionless.After everyone left, Political Commissar Shen came to him: "Yuan Hai, don't be sad, the captain is just like this." Zheng Yuanhai forced a smile: "Political commissar, don't worry, I can afford it." At night, Chen Jianjun stood alone on the back deck, looking at the brightly lit city in the distance, and the traffic passing by the cross-sea bridge from time to time fell into deep thought. Although he had thoughts about Zheng Yuanhai in his heart, he had to admit that he was right and strive for Honor has become a habit in these years of work, and it is not his fault alone that he has ignored the requirements of actual combat. Zheng Yuanhai came to him: "Captain, are you still asleep?" Chen Jianjun said: "I can't sleep!" "Captain, I felt uncomfortable when I hung up the certificate, but I shouldn't show it. It was my fault. Don't be angry." Chen Jianjun smiled: "Look at what you said, is my stomach so small?" Then he said, "Yuan Hai, you are right, our military training is for future wars, not just for the leaders to see, let alone for that With a certificate of merit, we should think about future wars, and we should be responsible for the lives of all officers and soldiers on the ship." Seeing Zheng Yuanhai nodding, Chen Jianjun continued, "But...we are on the same ship, and going out to sea means We are in the same boat through thick and thin, we live and die together, we are the deputy captain of the ship, we should put unity as the most important thing, we brothers can discuss anything in the future, and don't report directly to the leader anymore." Zheng Yuanhai was stunned: "I don't have one!" Chen Jianjun smiled: "How would you know if you don't tell the commander? You won't have to retake the exam at night. But it doesn't matter, this matter is over. You and I are still good partners and brothers. We will discuss things in the future." gone." Zheng Yuanhai opened his mouth to say something but couldn't say it, Chen Jianjun patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "It's getting late, you should go to bed earlier!" Turned around and left. Zheng Yuanhai looked at his back and sighed, feeling that there was a man who was fighting for a knife and I was a fish for a fish, so he couldn't help saying to himself: "I didn't say it, but I should say it." Mei Xing'er hadn't seen Zheng Yuanhai for more than half a month, and she couldn't help worrying about him when she missed him.She bought two movie tickets and wanted to ask him to go to the movies, but Zheng Yuanhai refused her on the phone with the excuse of being busy with work, which made her very sad, angrily tore off the movie tickets, and vowed not to talk to him again. When Mei Xinger went to Lu Huaicheng's house to measure the commander's blood pressure, she accidentally found a picture of a baby on the table, so she picked it up curiously.A strange thought suddenly came to her mind. She felt that the baby in the photo seemed to have some resemblance to herself. She looked at the photo and then looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't tell where it looked, so she shook her head and smiled. up. Lu Huaicheng came in with fruit: "My daughter, I took the picture when she was just full moon. If she is still alive, she will be twenty-five years old like you this year." "Chief, have you looked for her elsewhere?" Mei Xing'er asked. Lu Huaicheng opened a drawer: "For twenty-five years, I have more than a hundred comrades who have transferred to various parts of the country to help me find her whereabouts, but..." He shook his head lightly. Mei Xing'er saw that the drawer was full of letters: "Chief, don't be sad, I believe that one day, your daughter will come back." Lu Huaicheng smiled and nodded: "I also have a very strange intuition that she will come back sooner or later, otherwise, how can I have the face to see her mother under the nine springs in the future!" Mei Xing'er felt sad and didn't know what to say. "Let's not talk about that, Mei Xing'er, do you have a boyfriend?" Lu Huaicheng asked with a smile. Mei Xing'er smiled: "Isn't the chief going to be my matchmaker?" "Do you young people still need a matchmaker? To be honest, do you have a good relationship with Zheng Yuanhai?" Mei Xing'er pursed her lips and said angrily, "I'm not going with him! I haven't seen each other for ten days and a half, and he doesn't even bother me when I take the initiative to call him." Lu Huaicheng laughed: "Did he make you angry? Do you want me to clean him up for you?" Mei Xing'er lowered her head and smiled embarrassedly. The next day, Lu Huaicheng went to the ship to inspect the work and found Zheng Yuanhai: "I can't stand it after a few words? Are you frowning?" Lu Huaicheng looked at Zheng Yuanhai and asked. Zheng Yuanhai forced a smile to cover up: "No." "If a seagull wants to survive in the sea, it cannot survive a few strong winds and waves." "I know." "Chen Jianjun and his generation of captains have experience as the most valuable thing, and what they lack the most are new ideas and new consciousness. Letting you go to ship 186 is to hope that you can learn from each other's strengths and work together to increase your combat effectiveness. Don't make trouble!" "Don't worry! I will do well!" Lu Huaicheng looked at him and said suddenly: "Mei Xing'er sued me, saying that you ignored him." Zheng Yuanhai said embarrassedly: "No..." "No, I can tell you! Don't bully her, be careful that I will deal with you." Zheng Yuanhai looked at him pretending to be surprised: "Chief, do you care about this?" "Of course I have to. When I retire, I will recognize her as my goddaughter." Zheng Yuanhai smiled hippie: "Then you will admit it now." Lu Huaicheng squinted at him: "What are you doing? You want to excuse me? What's the matter with you?" Zheng Yuanhai giggled silly. "Find time to comfort and comfort others. Girls should be coaxed when they should be coaxed, ah!" Lu Huaicheng laughed and left after speaking. Looking at Lu Huaicheng's back, Zheng Yuanhai thought for a while, and felt that what the commander said made sense, so he asked Mei Xing'er out, and the two came to the beach together. Mei Xing'er didn't want to come at first, but she agreed to it somehow. At this moment, she fiddled with the stethoscope in her hand and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me?" Zheng Yuanhai smiled and said, "Hey, Commander Lu asked me to apologize to you!" "You're right again, why are you apologizing to me?" Mei Xing'er still had an indifferent tone. "Don't accept it? Eh? I never apologize to others." "Who cares about your apology?" "I'm sincere! Listen to me if you don't believe me?" Zheng Yuanhai took the stethoscope and put it on Mei Xing'er's ear, and pressed the other end on his chest, "Did you hear that? A fiery heart is passionately speaking for you Vigorously beating!" Mei Xing'er was amused by him, but she was secretly complaining that she was not up to date. When she came here, she had made up her mind that no matter what he said, she would just ignore him, give him a blow, and see if he dared to neglect her in the future. It can be seen But in his heart, he couldn't get angry no matter what.Thinking of this, she shook her head: "I didn't hear that." "Really? I'll listen to it myself!" Zheng Yuanhai put the stethoscope on his ear. Mei Xing'er flicked her finger towards the stethoscope while he was not paying attention. "Ah!" The huge sound hit Zheng Yuanhai's eardrums, and he couldn't help screaming. Mei Xinger laughed happily and ran away. "Okay!" Zheng Yuanhai got up and chased her. The two were chasing and playing one after the other, Mei Xing'er turned back and splashed the sea water at him, her white coat was soaked by the sea water, just like the wings of a happy seagull covered with crystal water drops...
