When Xiao Bing returned home, Peng Zhiqiang came back from outside after dinner.
Xiao Bing met Peng Zhiqiang in the small reception room. Xia Hongyin helped them pour tea and then left. When she went out, she looked at Xiao Bing again with gratification in her eyes.
Xiao Bing took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "This tea is good. Have a taste."
Peng Zhiqiang hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the teacup, blew on it, and then took a sip. Then he put down the teacup and said, "Actually, I don't drink tea very much. I just think it tastes good."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "That's right. I like to hear the truth from you the most. Nowadays, there are many people who don't know how to taste tea, but pretend to be good at it. In fact, I don't like that kind of people. We soldiers are really the straightforward type."
"Well." Peng Zhiqiang asked, "I would like to ask, where were you a soldier before?"
Xiao Bing asked, "Have you heard of Dragon Teeth?"
Peng Zhiqiang suddenly stood up, his face full of excitement, and his eyes full of passion and worship.
Xiao Bing smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I have not worked in Dragon Teeth for a long time. You don't have to look at me with this kind of worship in your eyes. In fact, there is no need. A few years ago, I worked in Dragon Teeth and led the Dragon Teeth Squad. "
"You are …" Peng Zhiqiang said with a trembling voice, "You are the world's king of special forces?"
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "That is the past tense."
"No, you are the God of War among us soldiers!" Peng Zhiqiang was so excited that his body was trembling. "I didn't expect that you would be so young. I didn't expect that I would be able to see you in my lifetime."
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "If you are so excited again, I will let you go. Those who don't know will think that you are in love with me."
Peng Zhiqiang took a deep breath and said, "Captain Xiao, I didn't expect you to be the captain of the Dragon Teeth Brigade, but there's no proof. Can you show me your certificate?"
Xiao Bing thought for a moment and took out his work certificate. There were two certificates in total. One was the director of the Dingwu office, and the other was the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Security. Peng Zhiqiang took them and checked them carefully. Xiao Bing sighed and said, "I left Dragon Teeth because of something. But now I have another position. One is the Dingwu office, responsible for restraining those who practice martial arts, and the other is the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Security."
Peng Zhiqiang handed the certificate back with trembling hands. Then he saluted Xiao Bing and said loudly, "Hello, Minister Xiao!"
Xiao Bing also stood up and solemnly returned a military salute.
Peng Zhiqiang said loudly, "Chief, I will follow you from now on. Even if I retire, I will always be a soldier of the country. As long as I have the opportunity to serve the country, even if I don't get any salary, I will obey unconditionally."
Xiao Bing said, "Well, Brother Peng, please sit down."
Peng Zhiqiang said, "Minister Xiao, you can call me Xiao Peng from now on, or Zhiqiang."
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, "You are older than me. How can I call you Xiao Peng? Well, I will call you Zhiqiang. Otherwise, you don't look capable. Zhiqiang, sit down first. Don't get excited. Let's sit down and talk. "
Peng Zhiqiang sat down. His body was as straight as a javelin. Although his face was still bruised, his temperament was enough to make people feel that he was a man, a man that no one dared to look down on.
Xiao Bing said, "Zhiqiang, I am very pleased that you are a soldier. Why should I let you stay and let you work for me? Because I see the backbone of a soldier in you. Even though you've already retired, you still hold yourself to the standards of a soldier. This is really rare, really rare. "
Peng Zhiqiang said loudly, "Once a soldier, always a soldier!"
"Good!" Xiao Bing nodded and said, "But your current strength is still relatively weak. Maybe you are well-trained in the ordinary army, but you still can't compare with those special forces. You are far behind, not to mention compared with Dragon Teeth. To be honest, anyone from Dragon Teeth can beat dozens of you. Do you believe it? "
"I believe it." Peng Zhiqiang said, "Dragon Teeth is a holy land for soldiers. It is something that I have always looked up to, which is beyond my reach."
Xiao Bing said, "You are also relatively old. If you want to reach the level of those people in Dragon Teeth, I am afraid that any teacher will not be able to help you. Even my former master, who is the current minister of the Ministry of National Security, Old Monitor, can't do it. But I can do it! "
Peng Zhiqiang's eyes lit up and he was extremely excited. Yes, Dragon Teeth was the dream of soldiers all over the world. Not to mention Dragon Teeth, even the eight special forces of Huaxia were also the holy land in their eyes. They were also beyond their reach, not to mention Dragon Teeth, which was more than one level higher than the eight special forces.
He could not even get close to the threshold of the eight special forces in his life, but Xiao Bing said that there was hope for his strength to reach the standard of Dragon Teeth? This was too unrealistic, wasn't it?
But Peng Zhiqiang believed it because Xiao Bing was a god in the eyes of these soldiers. Not to mention that his strength could reach the standard of Dragon Teeth, even if Xiao Bing said that he could pick the stars from the sky, they would not have the slightest doubt.
Xiao Bing said, "But it is not easy. There should be a lot of pain in it. Can you accept it?"
Peng Zhiqiang said loudly, "As long as I can become excellent, I can accept it."
"Good!" Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Then stay with me. Otherwise, although you have the backbone of a soldier, I can't keep you. Because in addition to your quality, I also need enough strength and ability. Since you are confident, then I can rest assured to keep you. "
Peng Zhiqiang asked, "Brother Bing, what should I do? How do I train myself every day? "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Don't worry. I will let someone arrange a place for you to live. Are you living in the Xiao Mansion? Or do you want to go home? "
"I still have to go home first and settle down my mother. In addition to me, there is only my mother in my family."
Xiao Bing asked curiously, "There are only you and your mother in your family?"
"My brother and sister-in-law were in a car accident. My father also died in the car accident. They left a daughter, who is now in college. She usually only goes home on weekends."
Xiao Bing asked, "Have you never got married and started a career?"
"No." Peng Zhiqiang shook his head and said, "I've been serving in the army for the past few years. I should have retired long ago, but I persisted until now. At that time, I was wholeheartedly in the army and never thought about getting married and starting a career. Now that I have retired, my family is also urging me to find a partner to get married. I planned to find a way to go on a blind date after I got a stable job, but as a result … "
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "I think you should be with that female employee. You can also be regarded as a hero saving a beauty."
Peng Zhiqiang shook his head and said honestly, "This can't be done. She is very excellent and she is only in her twenties. I am already 40 this year, a whole 14 or 15 years older than her. I don't deserve her."
Xiao Bing said, "It doesn't matter whether you deserve her or not. Who can tell the problem of love clearly? Your niece is so young. Where did you get the money to go to college? "
Peng Zhiqiang said, "The army provides food and accommodation, so I usually send some money to my home. Fortunately, my mother has been in good health these years and can still take care of my niece. Now my niece has grown up and doesn't need to be taken care of. My mother's physical fitness has also declined a little. I planned to work and take care of my mother at home after I retired."
"Well, it's right to be filial." Xiao Bing thought for a moment and said, "Well, I will give you a sum of money first. You'd better hire a nanny to take care of your mother's daily life. She is still agile now, so there is not much to take care of. She mainly needs to cook and do a little housework. The most important thing is to ensure that there is someone around her at all times. After all, she is old and can't be neglected."
Peng Zhiqiang hurriedly said, "How can this be? You just helped me today, and now you want to give me money."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Isn't it reasonable for me to pay you for helping me? You don't have to refuse. Your responsibility is not only to serve the country, but also to take care of your mother and your niece who lost her parents a long time ago. "
Peng Zhiqiang sighed and also understood. He said, "Well … Okay."
Xiao Bing nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go. Let's go out now. I will give you the money. When you have arranged for the nanny, come to me and I will help you improve your strength."
Peng Zhiqiang gave a standard military salute. With tears in his eyes, he said loudly, "Director Xiao, Peng Zhiqiang will serve you all my life!"
Xiao Bing walked to Peng Zhiqiang and gently patted him on the shoulder. He said with emotion, "Zhiqiang, you can do it!"
After leaving the small reception room, Xiao Bing gave Peng Zhiqiang 10,000 yuan first. This was nothing for Xiao Bing, but it was a large amount for Peng Zhiqiang. Xiao Bing could have taken more, but Xiao Bing also knew the character of people like Peng Zhiqiang. If he really took more, Peng Zhiqiang might not even take a penny.
Peng Zhiqiang gratefully took the money, put it on his body, and then strode out of Xiao Mansion.
At this time, Yezi came over and said to Xiao Bing, "Bad guy, I think your attitude towards this person is very unusual."
"Yes, because he used to be a soldier like me. I understand how these soldiers feel after being discharged from the army. More importantly, this Peng Zhiqiang's character is really good. Isn't it a good thing to painstakingly cultivate such a quality person? "
Yezi nodded, thinking of Peng Zhiqiang's righteous look.
