Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the 29th of the Lunar New Year, it snowed heavily. When one woke up early in the morning, the ground was pure white.
It was rare to see such heavy snow in the South. Gu Yi City would have snow every few days. It was just a few grains of sand, but before anyone could react, the sun was already high in the sky. As for Qingshui City, they had never seen snow before. Ren Guoan remembered that one year, a teacher who had just been transferred to the Red River Education Committee gave an essay. The topic of the essay was "Snow", which confused the examinees. One of the examinees from Qingshui City, in a fit of rage, wrote an essay about the snow in his imagination. He used all the words that described a woman's skin in his memory, and the effect was not bad. Unfortunately, the ending was too ridiculous, which caused the essay to lose a lot of marks. At the end of the essay, he said that he woke up from his dream and realized that what he saw was not snow, but the butt of the teacher who gave the question. What was black was not wormwood in the snow, but the hair on the butt of the teacher who gave the question. What melted in the snow was not water, but the pee of the teacher who gave the question. What ran in the snow was not a gray rabbit, but the lice of the teacher who gave the question … This essay was quite famous in Qingshui City.
As a native of Qingshui City, Li Jing had never seen snow before. Accompanied by Ren Guoan, she walked out of the balcony wrapped in thick clothes. Looking down from above, the ground was completely white, and even the treetops were pure white. The rooftops in the distance looked like they were wearing thick white hats, dignified and warm.
On the streets, the snowplows were already out. In the neighborhood, there were also groups of people coming out to clear the snow. A few children who were not afraid of the cold were having a snowball fight, grabbing snow and throwing it at each other.
"Auntie, it's time for breakfast!" Lü Wei shouted from the balcony.
"Okay!" Li Jing replied, then said to Ren Guoan, "I was so greedy to see the snow that I forgot to make breakfast for the children!"
"They're all big kids, they can take care of themselves."
Just as he was about to start eating, Chen Weizheng's phone rang.
"Hello, is this Comrade Chen Weizheng?" A voice came from the phone.
"I am Chen Weizheng. May I ask who you are?"
"I'm a staff member of the General Technical Department. I'm here to pick you up for the meeting. Please get dressed and get on the car at the entrance of Cuizhuyuan. The car's tail number is 673." The other party's voice was cold and emotionless.
Chen Weizheng was a little impressed. He had only been in Beijing for less than 24 hours, but they already knew his whereabouts. He finished the noodles in his bowl in a few bites and went to his room. He changed into his 07 military uniform and put on a military coat. He told everyone that he was going to a meeting and that he would call them after the meeting.
He boarded the Beiqi Warrior ending with 673 at the entrance of the community and greeted the captain who was driving. The captain who was driving rolled his eyes and looked at him. He snorted and didn't answer him. Chen Weizheng felt a little bored and didn't say a word to the captain who was driving. Looking at the snowy scenery outside the window, he was thinking about what kind of meeting he should attend. It was also unexpected that he would have a meeting in the capital.
The car was driving very fast. Soon, Chen Weizheng couldn't differentiate between north, south, east, and west. He only knew that the car left the city and arrived at a large military control area. He went around to the third gate before he entered. The inspection was very strict. Chen Weizheng's ID and body were checked. This was the first time that he had gone through this level of inspection, and he was not used to it. After passing the inspection, the car drove to a registration point. After dropping Chen Weizheng off, the car left. From the beginning to the end, he did not say a single word to Chen Weizheng.
At the registration point, the officer on duty took out a sign-in book and flipped to the last page. He found Chen Weizheng's name. It was not printed, but handwritten. It was probably added at the last minute. Chen Weizheng registered seriously and received an access card from the officer on duty. The card said: Row 17, Room 24. Chen Weizheng knew that this should be his seat for the meeting.
An orderly brought Chen Weizheng to the resting room and hung his military coat in the appropriate position. There were already a few people in the resting room. They were all wearing formal suits. Their military ranks were all senior colonels. There was no lieutenant colonel. Seeing Chen Weizheng come in, a senior colonel walked over and stretched out his hand. "Hello, I'm Senior Colonel Zhuo Dapeng, the head of the Research Institute of the General Technological Army Equipment Research and Ordering Department."
Chen Weizheng saluted. A small lieutenant colonel had to be respectful in front of a senior colonel. "Southern Military Region's Research Institute of the Logistics Department, Chen Weizheng."
"Southern Military Region?" Senior Colonel Zhuo was a little confused. He asked the others, "Brothers, do you know that there are people outside of the General Technological Army invited to this meeting?"
"I don't think so." A colonel said, "This is the list of people that our office has drawn up. They are all from the General Technological Army and their ranks are all above colonel. This lieutenant colonel from the Southern Military Region, did you inform us wrongly or attend another meeting? "
"Impossible." Another colonel said, "Being able to come here means that there is no mistake. There is only one possibility. This lieutenant colonel has already been transferred to our General Technological Army and his military rank has been promoted to colonel."
"There is such a good thing. He didn't even know that he was promoted?" Senior Colonel Zhuo said.
"It's not strange." The other colonel said, "For example, he went out to participate in an operation and couldn't inform anyone."
"Don't care." The first colonel said, "Since you are here, let's take it easy. You have an entry number, which means that you have a seat. As for the reason, we will know in a while."
Chen Weizheng nodded. He thought so too.
Someone came in to inform that the meeting was about to begin. Please take your seat according to your number.
Chen Weizheng didn't know who was sitting on the rostrum and who was speaking. He didn't know what they were talking about. Halfway through the meeting, he knew that they were going to commend the advanced workers and announce the list of advanced workers. After listening for a long time, he didn't recognize anyone. Just as he was feeling bored, a familiar name entered his ears: General Equipment Support Department's High Energy Battery Research Deputy Director, Colonel Chen Weizheng.
Chen Weizheng smiled. This world was really small. His name was nothing special. There was actually someone with the same surname as him. He didn't know who this colonel was. He was probably a researcher like Li Fangyuan. He was thin and his eyes were bulging. There was no meat on his face.
After the representatives of the advanced workers finished speaking, the meeting was announced to be over. The disciplined troops appeared in a more orderly manner. They didn't swarm out like in the countryside. They formed a line and walked out of the designated door. At the exit, everyone received a meal ticket. Chen Weizheng looked. Table 12, number 6.
After sitting down, everyone looked at this Lieutenant Colonel curiously. The Lieutenant Colonel sitting on the left introduced himself. "Let me introduce myself. I am General Equipment Support Department's auditor, Zhang Zhengye."
"Southern Military Region's Logistics Department's Research Institute, Chen Weizheng." Chen Weizheng introduced himself for the second time today.
"Chen Weizheng? Southern Military Region? " The Lieutenant Colonel sitting opposite him asked. "I have heard of Chen Weizheng. He is the Deputy Director of the High Energy Battery Research Institute. Is that you?"
"This is Chief Wei from the General Affairs Department." Zhang Zhengye introduced.
"Chief Wei." Chen Weizheng greeted him politely. "I went to Beijing for a holiday yesterday. This morning, they called me and told me that a car was coming to pick me up for the meeting. That's why I came. Until now, I still don't know what happened. "
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Zhengye laughed. "Who cares. Let's have our meal first. Let's see what's the difference between our meal and Southern Military Region's meal."
Just as they were talking, a familiar person finally walked over. Chen Weizheng recognized him. In September, Xiao Guangyuan had accompanied him to Qingshan Town. He didn't know what his name was. At that time, he was wearing casual clothes and didn't know what rank he was. Now, he knew that he was a Lieutenant General. Everyone at the table stood up and greeted the person. Chen Weizheng found out that the person in the lieutenant general uniform had the surname Zhai. He was the deputy minister of the General Technology Department and also the minister of the General Equipment Support Department.
"Xiao Chen," Director Zhai said to Chen Weizheng in a friendly manner. "You should be familiar with your new colleagues, right?"
"New colleagues?" Chen Weizheng was a little confused.
"You still don't know? In September, you were transferred to the General Affairs Department's High Energy Battery Research Institute as the Deputy Director, "Lieutenant General Zhai said. After he got a positive answer, he was a little angry." Nonsense! After the meal, come to my office. Chief Wei, you are responsible for bringing Xiao Chen there. "
After Lieutenant General Zhai left, the first person to speak was Chief Wei. "I knew it! It can't be that coincidental. "
"You were promoted to Colonel in September. I say, Colonel Chen, the promotion from a Lieutenant General to a Colonel should be reflected in your salary. Don't tell me that you haven't touched your salary card in the past few months," Zhang Zhengye said with a smile.
Chen Weizheng smiled bitterly. "My salary card has always been in my wife's hands. Until now, I don't know how much money has been transferred in every month."
"Hahahaha, Xiao Chen is still young, but you're still a child." Chief Wei laughed.
"Listen to your wife and follow the party. There must be no mistake, "Chen Weizheng said.
Everyone laughed. They started to eat. They didn't drink when eating in the military. They ate like fast food. After they finished eating, they sat at the side. When the officer gave the order, everyone stood up and walked out of the dining hall. Chen Weizheng followed suit and didn't make a fool of himself.
After the meal, Chen Weizheng was led by Chief Wei to a small building not far away. They walked up to the second floor, where Lieutenant General Zhai's office was.
"Until now, you haven't received a transfer notice?" Lieutenant General Zhai asked.
Chen Weizheng nodded and said, "No."
"Then what have you been doing for the past six months?" Lieutenant General Zhai asked again.
"Drinking tea, drinking wine, being a nanny, fishing, hunting, and traveling. I even found time to get married once," Chen Weizheng said.
"Didn't you go to Qingshan Town's military experimental zone to take a look?"
"No, that place is very strict. I don't belong to the experimental zone, so it's not convenient for me to go in and out," Chen Weizheng replied.
"It doesn't matter to you, but the higher-ups are fighting fiercely for you!" Lieutenant General Zhai said.
"For me?" Chen Weizheng asked in surprise.
