A different life with a system reborn

Chapter 57 Raising the Flag
After the car was parked, Gu Shuqin led a group of people to the place where they were queuing for security check. There were already more than ten people queuing in front of them. After they stood up, people continued to come from behind.

Waiting slowly in the cold wind, the six of them slowly began to stop talking. Although more and more people gathered, it was still outdoors at about ten degrees below zero. For Zhao Dongsheng and Liao Yanan, two southerners, That being said, I still don't quite get used to it.

"Hold my hand, let's run over, or we won't be able to stand in the front row." Zhao Dongsheng whispered in Liao Yanan's ear, and when he saw her nodding, he told Gu Shuqin.

After they passed the security check, Zhao Dongsheng took Liao Yanan's hand and ran forward, followed closely by the four people behind him.

Gu Shuqin even walked quickly to the front and showed them the way to the best viewing spot.

The group of people came to the front row and stood there. Liao Yanan was slightly out of breath from the run just now.

"Come on, everyone, drink some water. The weather in Kyoto is a bit dry. Moisten your throat."

Everyone stood still. The investment manager took out a few small bottles of mineral water from the small bag behind his back and distributed them to everyone. It was easy to see from his smile that he had made sufficient preparations in advance, but Gu Shuqin introduced him earlier. and guidance but remained silent.

"I brought chocolate. Everyone probably didn't have breakfast. Let's eat one to replenish energy. It will take about an hour before the flag-raising starts."

The project manager also took out the chocolates he prepared and distributed them to everyone.

The project manager brought a lot of chocolate and it tasted so good that even Liao Yanan couldn't help but eat an extra piece.

After eating, the investment manager took out the garbage bag, packed the garbage and put it in his backpack.

After eating something, everyone suddenly felt less cold.

After Zhao Dongsheng ate something, he didn't say anything more. He just stood quietly, looking at the square in a daze. Liao Yanan was also holding his arm tightly beside him. It could be seen that he seemed to be in a mood. It's a bit heavy, so I hope it can provide some comfort in this way.

After standing for a long time, there was a lot of noise in my ears. Someone shouted, and then the whole place fell silent, and they all looked in one direction.

Zhao Dongsheng patted Liao Yanan's arm gently. Liao Yanan glanced at him and then gently let go.

Zhao Dongsheng stood upright, staring closely at the guard of honor and the red flag.

The brand new red flag seemed to be stained with blood in Zhao Dongsheng's eyes, and he recalled his great-grandfather's last words in his mind.

Looking at the red flag, he seemed to see the scene of his great grandfather and his comrades fighting on the battlefield. The artillery fire was flying, each comrade was sacrificed, and the blood stained the ground red, which was as dazzling as the red flag in front of him.

"Arise, you who will not be slaves..."

Zhao Dongsheng sang the national anthem together with all the people in the square who came to watch the flag raising. At this moment, Zhao Dongsheng's blood boiled.Until the end of the national anthem, the red flag fluttered on the flagpole, and the first ray of the sun shone on the flying red flag, the audience was silent.

"Grandpa, have you seen it? Our country is now prosperous, just like the sun is really rising." Touching the watch on his hand, Zhao Dongsheng asked silently in his heart.He came to see it for himself, and also for his great-grandfather to see the flag-raising ceremony.

Zhao Dongsheng stood silently staring at the red flag, thoughts racing in his mind.

He woke up only when Liao Yanan hugged his arm again. He turned around and saw Liao Yanan looking at him with some worry. Zhao Dongsheng couldn't help but touched her head.

"No, cough, it's okay. Let's get ready to leave." He opened his mouth to speak but found that his throat was extremely dry.

"Boss, let's drink some more water." The investment manager handed over another bottle of water from the side.

"Thank you, let's go." Zhao Dongsheng took the water and thanked him before taking a sip.

A group of six people walked out slowly. While Zhao Dongsheng was in a daze, most of the people in the square had dispersed, and it didn't feel crowded now.

When he was about to walk out, Zhao Dongsheng couldn't help but turn his head again and take a deep look.

"Boss, do you have any requirements for breakfast? I have already booked several restaurants." When the six of them came to the car, Gu Shuqin asked Zhao Dongsheng.

"Well, I think your information suggests that you are from Guangdong Province, so just go and have the Guangdong Province morning tea."

"Okay boss, let's go there now." Gu Shuqin greeted the driver and continued chatting with Zhao Dongsheng.

Everyone soon came to a Cantonese-style morning tea restaurant. Because Gu Shuqin had made a reservation in advance, there was a seat available directly.

“What’s something to eat, boss?”

Gu Shuqin sat on the left side of Zhao Dongsheng and asked Zhao Dongsheng with a list.

"Just order what you like. It's just breakfast. Just order enough to eat."

Zhao Dongsheng is very casual. He has lived in Guangdong Province for more than ten years and has long adapted to it.

Gu Shuqin ordered the food and handed the list to the waiter after selecting it at will.

After looking at Zhao Dongsheng's watch, he asked curiously.

"The watch on the boss's hand is very beautiful. It is not easy to preserve the Patek Philippe 1463 in such a good condition. If I remember correctly, this watch was produced in the 40s. It is worth a lot of money if it is preserved in such a good way."

Because she has been on Wall Street for so many years, she will know more about these luxury goods. When the national flag was raised, she saw Zhao Dongsheng touching the watch every once in a while while waiting. When the honor guard entered the She never let go, so she was a little curious.

After hearing her question, others also cast their eyes on Zhao Dongsheng's watch. After all, it has been 40 or 70 years since the [-]s, but Zhao Dongsheng's watch looks flawless.

"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to do research on this." Zhao Dongsheng looked down at his watch and couldn't help but rub it with his fingers.

"One of my elders captured this on the battlefield and gave it to me before his death. It is indeed valuable."

"Sorry boss, I didn't know there was such a story." Gu Shuqin apologized quickly.

"Ha, it's okay. I think he will be very happy to be able to watch the flag raising with this watch today." Zhao Dongsheng waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

"How about you? After being abroad for such a long time, how do you feel when you come back to watch the flag raising?"

Zhao Dongsheng knew that these were elites who were given to him as lottery gift packages by the system. These people might have some thoughts in mind. Although it would not affect their work, they might take some time to integrate into the domestic environment.

Finally, Zhao Dongsheng had a unique first meeting with them, and thus the scene happened this morning.
