Chen Weizheng's report had only been submitted for two days, and the first person he saw was Xiao Guangyuan, whose face was dark.
Walking into Chen Weizheng's office in the Longshan Battery Plant, Xiao Guangyuan's face was even darker than a briquet of coal. In his hand was Chen Weizheng's retirement report. Without saying a word, he slapped it on Chen Weizheng's desk.
Chen Weizheng stood up and respectfully asked Xiao Guangyuan to sit down. He poured the underground water from the top floor of the Longshan Battery Plant and called out, "Uncle Xiao."
"Uncle Xiao" dissipated half of Xiao Guangyuan's anger. He snorted as a reply.
"Speak, why are you backing out?" Xiao Guangyuan asked.
"I think I'm suited to be a simple farmer. Every day, I work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets. I don't have to worry about national affairs, and I won't harm my family because of it." Chen Weizheng said.
"Harm your family?" Xiao Guangyuan thought about it and knew why Chen Weizheng was angry. He said, "Are you angry because of Ren Sui?"
"Part of it."
"What's the other part?" Xiao Guangyuan asked.
"I don't want to live under the surveillance of others. I need my own living space. I need my own privacy." Chen Weizheng said.
"So you want to retire?" Xiao Guangyuan asked, "Once you retire, I can guarantee that your battery plant will be shut down within five days."
"That's even better!" Chen Weizheng said, "I'll be a farmer."
"Then what about your employees? What about them? "
"I only have one or two thousand employees. If I give each of them a million as severance, it's only a matter of a billion or so. I can afford it. " Chen Weizheng said, "Close the plant, dismiss the workers, and give away all the money. Go home and be a farmer, raise some guinea pigs, plant some dendrobium, and live a good life. You won't have to suffer so much. "
"Who made you suffer?" Xiao Guangyuan said, "You secretly sold the Long Arrow Drive System, so the higher-ups have opinions. It's normal to have opinions, but you can't stand it? Are you that narrow-minded? Do you still look like someone who can accomplish great things? "
"It's my own. I can sell it to whoever I want." Chen Weizheng said, "How can you be like this? He doesn't want to buy it and won't let others sell it. I'm guarding a mountain of gold and silver to beg for food!"
"Who asked you to beg for food! Who asked you to beg for food? "Xiao Guangyuan was also angry." Every month's salary has been fed to an ingrate! "
Upon hearing this, Chen Weizheng withered like a banana leaf that had been hit by frost! Although he had never withdrawn money from his pay card, other people had always transferred money into his account every month.
He fished out a pack of cigarettes from his desk. He gave one to Xiao Guangyuan, lit one himself, and took a puff.
Xiao Guangyuan saw Chen Weizheng's expression and knew that he was in a dilemma. Xiao Guangyuan knew that this matter had hurt Chen Weizheng a lot, especially his attitude towards Ren Sui, which made Chen Weizheng very angry. Since it was Ren Sui who had contacted and made the deal, there was no doubt that Ren Sui had connections with foreign forces. Including him as a surveillance target was completely in line with the country's requirements. The problem was that Chen Weizheng didn't want to do it and fought back by slacking off.
"It's all my fault. I've implicated Xiao Sui." Chen Weizheng put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.
"Not necessarily!" Xiao Guangyuan said, "If Ren Sui passes the test, his future achievements may be great."
"I don't dare to expect anything from the country." Chen Weizheng said, "I will definitely help him earn a lot of money."
"Oh! What's the plan? "Xiao Guangyuan said.
"I'm researching a conventional weapon for individual soldiers." Chen Weizheng said, "It uses battery-powered compressed air to shoot toy beep horn bullets. There are two types of bullets with compressed explosives and those without compressed explosives. Those without compressed explosives are ordinary plastic bullet guns. Those with compressed explosives will explode as soon as they hit the target. It should be no problem to blow up small armored vehicles within the effective range. The range is 400 meters, and it can fire 1,000 bullets per minute. It can also fire a single shot or three shots in a row. The battery is carried on the soldier's back, 240v/100ah. It can be used by the soldier for other purposes, such as heating food, blowing bags, charging mobile phones, using it as a walkie-talkie power source, and connecting the power source to the assault gun during battle. I don't believe that no one will want this if I sell it. "
"Absolutely not," Xiao Guangyuan shouted. Just by listening to Chen Weizheng casually say it, he knew that this was a completely epoch-making single combat weapon. The cost was extremely low, but it was extremely powerful. The soldier's instinct told him that this weapon could only be in the hands of his own people.
"This thing only belongs to me. I have the right to own it. I can give it to whoever I want," Chen Weizheng said.
"Why don't you understand?" Commander Xiao said bitterly, "You don't even belong to yourself. Your gadgets can't belong to you alone."
"That's why I asked to be discharged," Chen Weizheng said.
"If you can be discharged, why would I be here?" Commander Xiao said, "Why are you so stubborn? To tell you the truth, the higher-ups are very divided about your problem. Some people want to support you, while others want to destroy you fundamentally. Now that the supporters have the upper hand, you are not working hard and throwing a tantrum. Do you still want to be on the same side as those who want to destroy you fundamentally? If you leave the army, those who support you will turn to destroy you. After all, guys like you can't be used by the country, so they can't be left to the enemy. "
Want to destroy me fundamentally? Chen Weizheng was a little angry. He said, "I can consider standing on the same side as those who support me, but I have a condition. Give me a list. I want to know who wants to destroy me fundamentally."
"What's wrong?" Xiao Guangyuan said, "Do you still want to find someone to fight?"
"I don't know how to fight," Chen Weizheng said, "at least I need to know who is who. I have to be careful in the future."
"That's more like it." Xiao Guangyuan said, "When it comes to fighting, they are not enough for you. They are all old guys with thin arms and legs."
He took a piece of paper and a pen from Chen Weizheng's office and wrote down about 20 names on it. Some of them were marked with positions, and some were not. Chen Weizheng took a look. Except for one or two names, he had seen them on TV before. They were old guys with big bellies and thick necks, not thin arms and legs. He did not know the rest of the names. Damn it, we don't know each other, but you want to kill me and destroy me fundamentally. I will remember you. If there is a chance, I will let you taste the feeling of being destroyed fundamentally.
When it was time for lunch, Commander Xiao asked Chen Weizheng to accompany him to the guard camp to eat in the canteen. Chen Weizheng did not refuse, nor did he greet the leader of the guard camp. He directly changed into his military uniform and went to the canteen. He asked the cook to bring him two basic set meals, paid the cash, and sat with the soldiers. The soldiers all knew Chen Weizheng. They knew that Chen Weizheng would come to the canteen to eat every few days. If he ate well, he would give cigarettes to the soldiers in the cookhouse. If he did not eat well, he would personally buy a batch of food to improve everyone's life. The best time was when a platoon of the guard camp went hunting in Qingshan Town and brought back seven wild boars.
The soldiers all greeted Chen Weizheng cordially and called Chen Weizheng Boss Chen instead of Commander, which made Xiao Guangyuan feel helpless. A soldier reported that the battalion commander, Boss Chen Chen Weizheng, was eating in the canteen with an old guy in civilian clothes. The battalion commander knew Chen Weizheng's habit. He did not go to the officer's canteen and only ate in the canteen. He asked the deputy battalion commander to see who the old guy in civilian clothes was with Chen Weizheng. After a while, the deputy battalion commander ran back and told the battalion commander instructor, "That old guy is Xiao Guangyuan."
A group of people jumped up from their seats like springs and were about to rush down. The instructor stopped them and said, "Commander Xiao came to the barracks without informing us. He wants to see the real barracks. Let's eat first, and then we will meet Commander Xiao. If we rush down now, it will be too fake."
Everyone thought about it and agreed. They quickly swallowed the food in front of them and came to the canteen. The instructor found a job for himself, which was to supervise the soldiers' leftovers by the cleaning pool. With this supervision, he found a few typical soldiers who wanted to throw away their leftovers. He asked each platoon to bring them back and ask about the situation.
After Xiao Guangyuan finished his meal, he also took the initiative to wash the dishes in the cleaning pool. From afar, he saw the leader of the guard camp supervising the leftovers. He was very interested and said to Chen Weizheng, "What if we can't finish it?"
"I don't know what to do either." Chen Weizheng said, "I think we can consider finding someone to play rock-paper-scissors. The loser eats."
"Nonsense." Commander Xiao said, "This is a barracks, not a restaurant. You should find time to send you to the National Defense University to study for two years. Otherwise, you won't even know the most basic rules. "
Chen Weizheng laughed.
This time, the leader of the guard camp saw Xiao Guangyuan and ran over to salute Commander Xiao. The soldiers in the canteen then realized that the person eating with them was the commander of the Red River Military Region.
Seeing Commander Xiao talking with the other officers, the leader of the second platoon of the first platoon of the guard camp walked over to Chen Weizheng and said, "Boss Chen, I think it's going to snow in two days. The wild boars and gazelles in Qingshan Town are fat. Should we line up there to train for a few days?"
"I agree. This time, arrange two platoons to go and get more game. It's the New Year. These are the best things to give as gifts." Chen Weizheng said.
The leader of the second platoon ran over and pulled the leader of the third platoon, who had a good relationship with him, over. He said to Chen Weizheng, "The leader of the third platoon is from Zuozhou. He's very familiar with Qingshan Town and knows how to hunt. This time, let the third platoon go with our second platoon. They'll definitely return with a full load."
Chen Weizheng gave each of them a cigarette and told them not to hunt for too rare species. Just some common ones would be fine. The two laughed and said, "The rarest animal in Qingshan Town is the golden monkey. No one eats it."
Hearing the lively discussion, the battalion commander came over and immediately agreed to send two platoons to go up the mountain tomorrow. Xiao Guangyuan said, "I really don't want to go back. I'll go up the mountain with them."
Chen Weizheng suggested that Xiao Guangyuan ask for sick leave and accompany him to go up the mountain with the soldiers. However, Xiao Guangyuan refused and said that he would go back in a while. After the New Year, he would find a time to go up the mountain with Chen Weizheng. He also told the battalion commander that if there were any yellow mackerel, he would save one for himself.
Chen Weizheng, the leader of the guard camp, and the instructor sent Commander Xiao to the gate of the battery factory. Commander Xiao's car was parked at the gate. They got in the car and left.
Looking at the back of Xiao Guangyuan's car, Chen Weizheng was a little moved. It was really hard for Xiao Guangyuan to go all the way to Qingshan Town for him. From Xiao Guangyuan's words, Chen Weizheng understood a sentence that he often heard, "You can't help yourself in the martial arts world." He also understood another sentence, "Your existence is other people's barrier."
