"Qi Rui." Someone shouted at the door of Qi Rui's dormitory. Hearing the shout, Qi Rui raised his head and saw Hu Xingzhi standing at the door. Seeing Qi Rui raise his head, Hu Xingzhi made a few hand gestures.
Qi Rui couldn't help but smile. It was the combat hand gesture he used during the battle in Ceylon. The gist of it was, "Get out, don't let people see us together."
Being dismissed was not the same as being imprisoned. Qi Rui was still in the military, and his punishment had been completed, so it had nothing to do with going to prison. However, Hu Xingzhi was originally a bit careless. At this time, seeing him being cautious, Qi Rui also felt that it had been a long time since they last met.
Xinxiang City became more and more lively. As a railway interchange station and the core area of North America in China, a considerable number of troops gathered in Xinxiang City for the winter. The whole of Xinxiang City showed the characteristics of China in the past 20 years. It became a huge construction site, with mapping and vertical soil sampling collection points everywhere. After more than a year of mapping, a large number of buildings would begin to be built at the same time. At that time, the whole city would become chaotic, dirty, and dusty. As the construction reached its peak, it would reach an unbearable level. When the unbearable level reached its peak, suddenly, the chaos came to an abrupt end. A beautiful city appeared in the world at an astonishing speed. In a very short period of time, it made people feel earth-shattering changes.
At this time, Xinxiang City was at the peak of chaos. The winter environment greatly reduced the progress of construction, and even began to stop. All kinds of temporary and semi-temporary buildings were rough and simple, and they were responsible for all kinds of work. Canteens, restaurants, and canteens were filled with goods and ingredients. The aroma of food and smoke, the noise of yelling, and the smell of life filled it like bubbles. It overflowed from the windows and the gaps in the curtains, covering the entire city.
Stepping on the muddy street, Hu Xingzhi, Qi Rui, Li Shaokang, and Zhou Shun entered a small restaurant. A piece of paper was pasted on the sign at the door, with the words "Xianheng Hotel" written in a neat font. It was obvious that the owner of the restaurant wanted to recreate the Jiangnan style in North America, but the difference in the weather between the two places was too great. Therefore, in the eyes of these four people from Jiangnan, a large curved ruler shaped counter that should have been on the street had been moved to a more central position. There was still hot water in the cabinet that could be warmed at any time. The solid wood table and stools were varnished and polished to a shine. Even if it wasn't bright enough, the sleeves of the guests' pants could help to polish the surface.
The hotel was full of people. Hu Xingzhi had already booked a private room so that everyone would have a seat. Hu Xingzhi immediately asked the boss to serve the dishes, and everyone started eating without saying much. The food was authentic Jiangnan style, but the ingredients were local to North America, so it had a unique flavor.
After a few glasses of wine, Hu Xingzhi said, "Qi Rui, you're good. You can still eat so happily even after encountering such a big thing. I thought you wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well. "
Qi Rui smiled and said, "If I can't eat or sleep well, the problem can be solved. Don't worry, before the problem is solved, I won't eat or drink." As he spoke, he picked up a piece of ham and stuffed it into his mouth. Although the pig might not be Jinhua pig, the taste of the ham was really good.
"You're too unlucky. How could you encounter such a thing?" Hu Xingzhi sighed.
Qi Rui sighed helplessly. "In retrospect, my attitude at that time was not firm enough. If I had said firmly that I wouldn't give Li Guangzu home leave, it would have been better. It's just that I was softhearted and hurt others and myself! As long as I was strict, nothing would happen to Li Guangzu. And to be honest, the army has not been prepared for war. We've been doing construction and construction. The morale in the army has been too slack. You guys have to pay attention to this in the army. "
"Hey! I'm talking about you. Why are you acting so high profile? "Hu Xingzhi said with a rather surprised tone.
Zhou Shun agreed with Qi Rui's view. He nodded and said, "I don't think I'm acting high profile. Qi Rui is right. The morale in the army is really slack now. They're like migrant workers. "
This time, Hu Xingzhi became even more excited. "Hey, hey, I'm not talking about political issues. I'm talking about whether Qi Rui can still work in the army."
Li Shaokang said in a slightly complaining tone, "What you said is quite scary. No one can bear the responsibility for this matter. Qi Rui was just unlucky. How could he not be able to work in the army? "
Seeing that everyone finally realized the seriousness of the matter, Hu Xingzhi rolled his eyes and said in a rather unhappy tone, "I thought so too. But my friends in the political department said that Division Commander Wu handled this matter very well. The political commissar didn't receive any punishment at all. He just wrote a 'deep reflection' and was let go. Only Qi Rui was dismissed from his post in the army. "
Speaking of this, Hu Xingzhi slightly lowered his voice. "I heard from the comrades in the political department that during their internal discussion, they said that Qi Rui's company's Instructor Wu did not do his job well and should be punished. In the end, Division Commander Wu said that it was the Company Commander who allowed Li Guangzu to visit his family, so the Company Commander had the biggest responsibility. Since the Company Commander has been dismissed, if something happens again in the future, we can't let him go. This time, take it as a lesson. Let Instructor Wu write a 'deep reflection'. The comrades in the political department couldn't say anything … "
Qi Rui's lips subconsciously tightened when he heard this. When the information was gathered, many things suddenly became clear. Although he felt that being dismissed from his post was indeed very unpleasant, there were deserters in the army. Moreover, Qi Rui had long felt that after several years of construction work in the army, there were a lot of slack in their thinking. Therefore, Qi Rui felt that he had made a mistake in his work. Only now did he know that someone had used him as a scapegoat.
The others didn't know that Qi Rui was actually against giving Li Guangzu a family visit. Li Shaokang frowned and said, "Qi Rui, what's the relationship between Instructor Wu and Division Commander Wu? There must be some relationship between them, right? "
Qi Rui simply shook his head. At this time, his Qi and blood were surging, and he only felt that his chest was swelling. Not to mention thinking about the problem seriously, it was already very hard for him to control his emotions and not explode.
At this time, Zhou Shun had completely lost the mood to eat. He frowned and said, "Isn't it just looking for someone to take the blame? When we were learning organizational engineering in the military school, we only heard about this thing. I didn't expect that there would be people in the army doing this. "
Hu Xingzhi said, "Qi Rui, if Division Commander Wu is really using you as a scapegoat, then you should quickly find someone. "It was clearly stated in the military school curriculum. In the early days, the military leaders in the army liked to play this game. If something happened, they would find someone to take all the responsibility and punish them excessively. "The scapegoat would be severely punished, and then they would make some promises. Then, everything would be written off. "It's hard to say whether they dare to do this in the future. The scapegoat would be miserable. "In such a situation, if your family doesn't come forward, it can't be solved."
The other two nodded. Since Qi Rui was born in Nanjing and graduated from the Nanjing Sixth Military Academy, it was impossible to say that there was no one in his family. Everyone naturally wanted to rely on their own strength to get promoted, but in the face of such unfair treatment, finding someone to help was the most appropriate way.
Qi Rui was fuming with anger. When he heard everyone's suggestion to "find his family to come forward", Qi Rui's mood was magically eased. In China, as long as Qi Rui didn't make any mistakes, there really wouldn't be any problem that couldn't be solved if his family came forward. Thinking of this, Qi Rui's depression instantly turned into a funny feeling. There was no need to find someone. If Qi Rui dared to reveal his real identity now, Division Commander Wu would probably immediately change his attitude.
However, the last thing Qi Rui wanted was to find his parents. He also gradually realized how helpless and necessary it was for his father, Vézé, to make Qi Rui change his surname and fake his birth. In the army, the identity of the son of a high-ranking official could only bring about disadvantages. If Qi Rui really wanted to continue working in the army, he couldn't let others know that he was Vézé's son. The army was an organization of discipline and cooperation. This identity just happened to bring about the destruction of discipline and brought about the result of not being able to cooperate normally.
However, since there was an obvious problem with Division Commander Wu, Qi Rui's heart was finally relieved. His father, Vézé, was not very tolerant of Qi Rui's own mistakes, but if someone deliberately wanted to mess with Qi Rui, Qi Rui believed that his father, Vézé, would not sit idly by. Since Division Commander Wu had already done things to this extent, Qi Rui actually had nothing to be afraid of.
With this thought in mind, Qi Rui suddenly felt all the pressure disappear. The intense anger and pressure just now had made his blood boil. Now that the negative emotions were gone, Qi Rui actually felt hungry. He raised his glass and toasted everyone. "Division Commander Ding from the human resources department has already spoken to me. I also made it clear that I don't want to leave the army. I believe in our army. Since everyone remembers this kind of case in the military academy, it means that the entire army can't possibly turn a blind eye to it. "
Seeing how quickly Qi Rui had recovered from his anger, Li Shaokang and Zhou Shun were somewhat surprised. On the other hand, Hu Xingzhi felt that Qi Rui must be looking for someone to move around. The reason he had helped Qi Rui this time was also because he felt that Division Commander Wu had gone too far. That was why he couldn't help but reveal the truth he knew. Since Qi Rui already had a way to deal with it, Hu Xingzhi also relaxed.
