Chapter 163 The surprise at the welcome banquet.

After Jiang Chen went out, he walked alone in a small garden behind the hostel. Now he needs to calm down and put out the fire.The scenery of Spring City and that of Anxi are completely different styles, Jiang Chen fell in love with it after just looking at it for a while.So a person sat under a pavilion and teased the koi in the pond next to it.It looks like these koi must have been carefully cared for and they are very lively.Jiang Chen often fed the fish food prepared from the pavilion for those who visited and recuperated, and some brave ones even jumped out of the water to compete for food.

After coming over for a while, a young man in a shirt came up to him. Jiang Chen felt familiar but just couldn't remember where he met him.Just as he was thinking, the young man smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang, the welcome banquet is about to begin. Deputy Director Song invites you to go back."

It was only then that Jiang Chen remembered that this young man was Deputy Director Song's Secretary Wang, and Jiang Chen had dealt with him before.He smiled at Secretary Wang and said, "Why, why did Deputy Director Song come in person?"

Secretary Song smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "This time, the Science and Industry Committee has a greater responsibility as the main organizer, so Deputy Director Song decided to lead the team himself."

"Oh, that's it. Let's go then, don't make him wait." Jiang Chen replied with a smile and followed Deputy Director Song to the banquet hall.

When Jiang Chen came to the lobby, he found that all the staff had already taken their seats. Before the leaders arrived, Jiang Chen found a place where no one was present and sat down.Unexpectedly, the leader of the hostel who reprimanded Jiang Chen before ran over and said to Jiang Chen: "Comrade Jiang, I'm sorry just now, it was our negligence in work, and we will definitely review it."

Jiang Chen really didn't want to hear these unnutritious words, so he waved his hands and smiled: "Hehe, it's okay, who hasn't made a mistake yet, just pay more attention in the future."

"That's it, that's it." The leader immediately replied with a smile.

"Okay, don't just stay here, there are still many old comrades who need to be taken care of over there, so go get busy." Jiang Chen smiled at him.

"Comrade Jiang, your seat is not available." The leader pointed to the sign on the table.

Jiang Chen saw that it really wasn't, so he stood up awkwardly and walked back. He knew that these seats were all reserved, and a junior like him probably got the last seat.

"Comrade Jiang, your seat is not over there, but over here." The leader shouted hastily.

Jiang Chen stopped and turned around to look in the direction the leader was pointing at, and asked with some doubts, "Are you sure it's there?"

"No mistake, these names have been verified many times by the staff, and your seat is at that table."

Jiang Chen didn't speak, but followed the leader to the table and found that his name was on it.He was taken aback.Everyone knows that the order of the seats has been carefully arranged. Whoever sits on the table and who sits on the seat is very particular.And Jiang Chen's seat is next to the second table, so this is setting him on fire for the exam.According to his age and qualifications, if he sits here, he will be roasted by everyone's eyes.So he quickly refused: "I, Jiang Chen, have very little qualifications, so I really don't fit to sit here."

"Where you sit is determined by the leaders above after consideration. Since they think it is suitable for you to sit here, you are suitable." The leader began to push Jiang Chen to the side of the table.

While the two were entangled, everyone in the hall stood up and applauded. Amid everyone's applause, Deputy Director Song and a group of leaders walked in.It was inappropriate for Jiang Chen to be moving at this time, so he went to the chair and applauded with everyone under the watchful eyes of a table of old guys.

Under the pressure of Deputy Director Song, everyone sat down one after another.The old guys at the table also looked at Jiang Chen with interest, and an old guy next to him lightly touched Jiang Chen and whispered, "Young man, did you take the wrong position?"

At this time, the leader above started to give a speech, Jiang Chen ignored this person and turned his head to listen to the leader's support.He is the political commissar of the former enemy headquarters, his surname is Shi, and he is about 60 years old. The old man is very talkative and humorous, which attracted applause from everyone present.

Seeing that Jiang Chen ignored him, the old guy glared at Jiang Chen and hummed softly before ignoring him.It seems that this person must be thinking, the old man is kind enough to treat him like a donkey, so it's up to you.After Political Commissar Shi finished his speech, Deputy Director Song went on to say a few words, which roughly meant to overcome difficulties, adapt to the environment, work hard for the basic troops, do practical things, and so on.After he finished speaking, he just entered the banquet part.

The people at the table with Jiang Chen were old guys, and after talking to Jiang Chen for a few words, they ignored him.It started with other old guys chatting and having a good time.And Jiang Chen ignored them, and ate the food on the table by himself.To be honest, Jiang Chen has never eaten these, no matter in this life or in the previous life.This guy couldn't hold his chopsticks at all and started eating without caring about his image.And the old guys at the same table with him were very reserved because of their own face and image, so they could only stare at Jiang Chen angrily.

After a while of reminiscing about the past, the leaders at the first table began to toast to each table.And Jiang Chen and the others were at the second table, so they were the first to bear the brunt.It may be that the people at the first few tables are more important, so the leaders followed without any diversion.The old guys from Yiyizi looked at Jiang Chen teasingly, as if they were waiting for a good show.

After paying homage to these old guys who were introduced one by one, it was finally Jiang Chen's turn, and Jiang Chen also stood up, waiting for the leaders to speak.

Deputy Director Song on one side held his wine glass and smiled and introduced to Commissar Shi who looked surprised: "Old Shi, let me introduce to you, Xiao Jiang is the best soldier under my command."

"Oh, Comrade Xiao Jiang, welcome to Spring City." Commissar Shi shook hands with Jiang Chen curiously.

Deputy Director Song on the side continued to introduce: "Don't look at him as young, but he has achieved a lot. The 120 bazooka you use, the jungle camouflage, the two high-precision sniper rifles and the ZB82 gun family that soldiers like are all from him. Leading the development."

Political Commissar Shi became more and more surprised as he listened to the introduction. After listening to the introduction, he shook Jiang Chen's hand vigorously several times and said in surprise, "Okay, okay, we need talents like you, Lao Song, you gave me a big surprise. Surprise."

"Haha, I will treat your old man badly." Deputy Director Song said proudly.

Political Commissar Shi raised his glass and smiled at Jiang Chen, "Come on, Xiao Jiang, let me toast you. I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve great results. Try to contribute more to our grassroots commanders and fighters."

"Don't dare, dare not." Jiang Chen hastily raised his wine glass to finish the drink first, expressing his respect for the old general in this way of "respect first".

After finishing his drink, the old general patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder vigorously, then laughed and walked to the next table, and Deputy Director Song also patted Jiang Chen and followed.After Jiang Chen reacted and sat down, he saw a group of old guys staring at Jiang Chen with shocked faces.
