rebirth of change

After discussing the strategic oil reserves with Zhao Zhibang, Chen Kangjie left after dinner. Chen Kangjie only needed to prepare the money and leave the rest to Zhao Zhibang. It is too uncomfortable inside, because I am an outsider and a guest, so I can't walk around casually. Even if I want to walk, someone will follow, which is extremely unnatural.

But before leaving, Chen Kangjie still didn't forget to pass on the words of the old chief to Zhao Zhibang.

"Calm down, learn slowly, I understand", Zhao Zhibang didn't have any extra words, lowered his head, and looked up at the stars that had climbed up the top of the tree after speaking.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm leaving first. I won't come to see you tomorrow. I have to visit Director Cao."

Zhao Zhibang went outside to take a few breaths of cold air, sobered up his mind, and sent Chen Kangjie a few steps casually.

"Which Director Cao?" Zhao Zhibang didn't know who Chen Kangjie was talking about, and there were quite a few people with the surname Cao.

Earlier, when Chen Kangjie came to the capital, he didn't visit Director Cao, and he called him to criticize him. Now that he's here, he has to go no matter what.

"It's Director Cao of the Science and Industry Committee!" Chen Kangjie explained.

"Commission of Science and Industry? Have you been to her house before?" Zhao Zhibang listened to Chen Kangjie's words and pondered for a while, as if he had thought of something.

"I haven't been there before, and I don't know how to get there tomorrow. If I call, Director Cao will send someone to pick me up," Chen Kangjie said, shaking his head.

"Hehe, then you may meet an unexpected person tomorrow," Zhao Zhibang said with a smile when he saw Chen Kangjie coming in without knowing it.

"Unexpected character? Who? Do I know him?" Chen Kangjie was full of doubts, he knew that Zhao Zhibang would not say such things casually.

"I'll know when you go tomorrow, Xiao Qin, help me send Xiao Jie there, I'll go back to the study to sort out some materials." Zhao Zhibang didn't answer Chen Kangjie's question, but arranged for Secretary Qin to send Chen Kangjie, and then met Turned back with a smile.

"Uncle Zhao is really serious, he doesn't say anything clearly, it's tantalizing," Chen Kangjie complained about Zhao Zhibang's strange behavior.

At ten o'clock in the morning on the third day Chen Kangjie arrived in the capital, he got up in the hotel room, finished exercising, punched another set, and after breakfast, a red flag car with a normal license plate came to the door of the hotel. The director sent to pick up Chen Kangjie.

The driver was a spiritual young man with a straight figure and short hair.Although he was wearing casual clothes, he couldn't hide his military temperament at all.

This person took a phone equipped in the car and called Chen Kangjie's room, and Chen Kangjie took the person down, but Xiong Ziqiang and the others were asked not to go.

"Why can't they go?" Chen Kangjie asked on behalf of his casual staff, Chen Kangjie was not unhappy, and he spoke in a harmonious voice.

During these two days in the capital, Chen Kangjie couldn’t go to see the old chief, and they couldn’t go to Da Nei to visit Wei Zhonghua and Zhao Zhibang. Xiong Ziqiang and the others still couldn’t go, and Chen Kangjie went there alone, so for such an “impolite” request , Chen Kangjie is used to it.

What's more, Zhao Zhibang told him yesterday that he would meet unexpected people today, and Chen Kangjie was more psychologically prepared. It may be that Director Cao's family background is not simple, otherwise it would be difficult to achieve such a high level.

"This is a rule. Director Cao's house only accepts invited guests. I must implement the rule." The visitor answered simply, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Since it is a rule, let's implement it, Brother Qiang, you can wait for me at the hotel, or you can go around the capital casually, and just put the gift I want to give in the trunk." When the other party replied, Chen Kangjie had a bit of a point Yes, just arranged for Xiong Ziqiang and the others to open the door and get into the back seat of the Hongqi car.

"Then be careful yourself," Xiong Ziqiang urged with concern by the car door after closing the trunk.

"Don't worry, I'll be in charge of safety, and nothing will happen." The visitor probably also saw that Xiong Ziqiang and the others were former soldiers, so he said something more to Xiong Ziqiang.

"Thank you", Xiong Ziqiang only replied with a simple sentence, which is his trust in his comrades.

The red flag car took Chen Kangjie through the streets and alleys of the capital, and came to a small alley. When he arrived here, Chen Kangjie realized that the security measures here were not much lower than the villa where the old head lived.At the entrance of the alley, there are armed police with live ammunition to check the IDs, even the IDs of young people driving are checked.As the car walked towards the entrance of the alley, not only were there many sentry posts, Chen Kangjie also keenly discovered many secret sentries, which can be described as heavily guarded. Among the places Chen Kangjie has been to, only the place where Ouchi and the old chief lived can have such guards. treatment.

Chen Kangjie really didn't expect Director Cao's house to live in such a safe place.

The Hongqi car stopped at the gate of a simple courtyard house. The gate of the courtyard house was no different from that of other houses. There were door gods on the door and couplets on both sides.

Hearing the sound of a car, someone opened the door, and Director Cao immediately appeared in front of Chen Kangjie.

"Aunt Cao, long time no see, I miss you", basically the first thing Chen Kangjie does when he sees these elders is to be good-looking.

According to Chen Kangjie's psychological maturity, he shouldn't have done this, but he also knew rationally that these elders liked such children, so he had to maintain a dual personality.

"Don't tell lies, kid. You didn't call me when you came to the capital, and you didn't come to my house." Chen Kangjie basically got this kind of treatment every time he acted like a good boy.

"Aunt Cao, don't expose me again. I'm here. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There's nothing better than good." Chen Kangjie's attitude was quite correct.

A good attitude will always be treated well by others.

"Come inside, it's cold outside, look at you, don't wear more clothes, really," Director Cao criticized with concern

Today, Chen Kangjie is wearing casual clothes, with a set of silk underwear inside, which is very warm. He just added a T-shirt on his upper body, so he looks like he is wearing very little.In fact, Chen Kangjie has been exercising and practicing martial arts for so many years, and his physical fitness is very good, so others wear a lot, and he only needs to wear a little to resist the cold.

Out of the maternal love of women, Director Cao cared a lot for a likeable junior like Chen Kangjie.

"It's okay, I'm in good health," Chen Kangjie said proudly, patting his chest, and then walked into the courtyard with Director Cao. As for the gift he brought, he naturally didn't need to worry about it, someone would follow him in with him.

"It's really about demeanor rather than warmth," Director Cao was not very satisfied with Chen Kangjie's "obsession with obsession".

Entering the gate of the courtyard, there is a small courtyard first, in which two sweet-scented osmanthus trees, as thick as the mouth of a bowl, are planted, and there is a row of orchid grass in the corner.Passing through the small courtyard, Director Cao led Chen Kangjie through the main room on the left and came to the door of a wing room at the back.

"Dong dong dong", Director Cao knocked on the door three times in a row and then pushed the door in. Chen Kangjie obediently followed behind.

The area of ​​the wing room is not small, but the decoration is quite different from the outside appearance. It is not luxurious but comfortable. There are two rows of sofas covered with gray fabrics against the walls on both sides, and two people sit on one side, one old and one young.The old man is about 80 years old, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, gray-haired, very hale and hearty, with his right hand on an old faucet stick, this old man is known by Chen Kangjie, and sitting next to the old man is a middle-aged man in the uniform of a major general man.

"Father, this is the Xiaojie I mentioned to you," Director Cao approached the old man, half bent over and raised his voice to introduce.

Chen Kangjie didn't wait for the old man to speak, he took the initiative to bow politely and said hello: "Mr. Cao, I admire you very much."

"You know my old man?", Mr. Cao asked Chen Kangjie with a smile.

"Of course I know you. You are one of the ten marshals who founded the country. I used to have a portrait of you hanging in my house." Chen Kangjie replied solemnly.

Only then did Chen Kangjie know why Zhao Zhibang said yesterday that he would meet unexpected people today. Chen Kangjie really did not expect to meet the few remaining founding marshals.Now he also understands why this place is so heavily guarded.

Mr. Cao is not only the founding marshal, but also a strong supporter of the old chief's comeback and the promotion of reform and opening up. He has a high prestige in the country and a deep influence in the army. He once served as the vice chairman of the Military Commission and the reform of the military system. He and the two disarmaments were completed in his hands. How could Chen Kangjie not know such a person?What's the difference between that and being blind.

"I didn't expect that I would be treated so well and be enshrined as a living god," Mr. Cao joked happily.

"You are indeed a living god. You have made great efforts and made indelible contributions to the establishment of the country and on the right track. To the country and the common people, you are a living god." Chen Kangjie stood up straight, and Cao Cao The old man's words.

In the past, ordinary people liked to hang portraits of leaders, especially the chairman, in the living room or main room of their homes. However, many leaders of other countries will also have this honor. The heroic photos when they were awarded the honor in 55 have appeared in thousands of families. .

"Hehe, this kid is very good at talking, it's fun, it's fun, no wonder the chief likes you so much," Mr. Cao praised happily.

Chen Kangjie didn't expect that the evaluation he got when he flattered him was "fun, very fun". It's really depressing, and he's not a toy.

"Father, Xiaojie is not as simple as having fun. Our Science and Industry Committee is very grateful to him," the middle-aged major general next to Mr. Cao said at this time.

Chen Kangjie didn't know this person, nor had he met him before, so it was difficult to greet him.

"Xiaojie, let me introduce you. This is my lover, who works in the same unit as me. You can call him Uncle Rob." At this time, Director Cao saw Chen Kangjie's embarrassment, and introduced the major general to him for the first time. .
