A Y-5 aircraft arrived at the military airport in the southern suburbs at dawn. A snowstorm a few days ago had covered the capital with snow. In the cold north wind, several cars were already waiting anxiously. From time to time, someone stamped their feet, finally trying. Saw the plane land safely.
"Old Kong, you are lucky this time. Next time, I will let you explain it to the leader yourself."
Leader Hao came in person and rubbed his hands. Today is thirty, and the city is full of joy, but he is suffering a lot. He was originally very excited when he learned that the mission was successfully completed yesterday, but when he heard that it was Zhu Xuefeng who took action, he immediately became furious. This is the person who registered in front of the leader. , repeatedly asked not to get into his team. It would be unimaginable if something happened to this old Kong. Fortunately, he is back.
"Xiao Huang, you're okay, I'm wronged."
Lao Kong was also wronged and had no other choice. When he saw Xiao Huang getting off the plane with an urn in his hand, he quickly got rid of it. Leader Hao came over.
"Leader, it's my fault, I brought the captain back."
Xiao Huang's face was already full of tears and she couldn't make a sound. When the cold wind blew, her face was frozen. , when Zhu Xuefeng took out Jiao Xueming’s ashes, he cried bitterly for a long time.
"Okay, okay, just come back. Where is Comrade Zhu Xuefeng."
"He is behind, guarding three traitors."
Xiao Huang didn't know either. Where the traitors had been kept, they boarded the returning boat and found three unconscious traitors, unconscious and tied into rice dumplings.
Behind them were the four heroes who had escaped from the sea of suffering. As expected, they were wrapped in military coats and quickly taken away. Also taken away were the ashes of nine sacrificed soldiers. These ashes were all recovered by Zhu Xuefeng. The other side of the bank paid tribute to these sacrificed soldiers. They were all cremated and officially stored, probably because they were of the same origin and species, but no one was looking after them, so they were easy to find.
When Zhu Xuefeng and the escort soldiers escorted the three men with their heads covered off the plane, Leader Hao smiled and waved his hand. The men quickly took over the escort task and opened their hoods to confirm.
“Leader, it’s these three!”
“Take them away, this kid has done a great job this time, damn, he’s also got himself into trouble, I don’t even know how to deal with it. Explain. "
He glared at Lao Kong again. It's really a headache. This time, he couldn't hide Zhu Xuefeng's deeds from his superiors. Although he exceeded the task, he still had to be punished.
Lao Kong ignored him and just put a military coat on Zhu Xuefeng. Before he could ask, he heard Leader Hao behind him reminding him in a low voice.
“You have to follow me too!”
Uncle Kong turned around in distress, “Boss, you just said it would be next time. Besides, according to the rules, this kind of thing is reported to the top leader, so I will follow. Go, just wait outside for the call.”
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s listen to what Xiao Zhu has to say first. I actually got a living this time. Maybe the leader will be happy and won’t criticize you. . ”
Leader Hao thought a lot for a while, and he obviously had an idea, and actually made a joke.
"Then I won't go either. You are the first person in charge. We will only act according to your orders and you will have to report."
Lao Kong was also worried about facing the leader. The last mission After the failure, he met the leader as the person in charge of the scene after he came back. Unexpectedly, not only was he not criticized, but he was also encouraged. The leader said that he and his comrades knew that he and his comrades were aggrieved. This time he clearly violated the leader's opinions and gave him courage. Don't dare to face it either.
Leader Hao didn’t waste any time and pulled Lao Kong into the car. He had to go back and listen to Xiao Zhu and Xiao Huang’s reports first.
There are no flight missions at the airport. After leaving the airport, the newly formed snow on the road has not yet been cleared. Some people are working enthusiastically with simple tools. When they see the convoy, they happily give way to the road. Next to it, the convoy headed east along the courtyard wall of XX Machinery Factory, and then turned to the north. Zhu Xuefeng looked through the car window at the gate that was frequently entered and exited by later generations, and it was heavily guarded.
"The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. The snow is falling well. It has been snowing for three days. This year's harvest should be good."
The driver, Lao Huang, was lamenting that it has been raining for several consecutive years. , life is very difficult. It got a little better last year, but it has not fundamentally improved.
Zhu Xuefeng could only smile bitterly. It is February now, and there are still a few months left. There will be a vast ocean here. Who would have thought that the years in the 1960s were really difficult.
Lao Kong and Leader Hao were sitting in the car in front, discussing.
"Lao Kong, you said, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and the leader must have a bunch of reports on hand right now. Is it appropriate to report this matter today?"
"I don't care whether it is appropriate or not, then It’s the responsibility of the first person. I’ve completed the task. It’s your turn to worry about now.”
"Let you be proud first. I have decided that this is a big deal. We must figure it out today and report the details as soon as possible. You have to accompany me."
"Old Hao, Tell me, will you be able to fully understand such a big thing in a while? Besides, tonight is New Year's Eve. The leader has been busy for a year and finally squeezed out some time to spend New Year's Eve with my eldest sister. You have to go and make trouble. "
Lao Kong still didn't dare to see the leader, "I told you, report the results first, and then report the details tomorrow."
Leader Hao put out the cigarette and opened the window. The cold wind poured into the car, and the not-warm car suddenly became extremely cold.
"Your retaliation is too obvious. First you smoked smoke, then turned around and poured it with north wind. Old Hao, you are wearing a military coat, and my driver Xiao Lu is not wearing one. Hurry up and close the door. "
"Lao Kong, what you said makes sense. How about we ask clearly today and report the specific situation early tomorrow morning. This is a major matter. The leader has made a request, and major matters must be reported as soon as possible. ,"
…
"Is it that simple?"
Zhu Xuefeng answered in an understatement, just like going for a walk in the park, why did he knock out three people and stuff them into a wooden box? , how come they rescued five people and stuffed them into wooden boxes. With the help of the ship's boss, they passed the inspection, and then found the smuggler's head in Xiangjiang and sent it back.
“It’s that simple. It took more than ten days to check the intelligence and make preparations, but it only took one night to do it.”
"Who is the identity of the female comrade who covered your retreat? Why didn't you come back with her?"
Zhu Xuefeng had already thought of an excuse, "She is my fellow junior sister. They are now settled in Xiangjiang and are particularly good at destroying institutions. I asked her to come forward to help open the shackles. Who knows, I was lucky and found the key. In the end, she took the initiative to cover it. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to retreat."
"She is so skilled. Is it possible to join us?" Leader Hao suddenly became interested, and Xiao Huang also confirmed that this lesbian took the initiative to cover up and managed to escape. This skill is quite impressive.
"Leader, it's impossible. I asked her about her wishes and she had some ideas, but she probably couldn't pass the political review, so she gave up."
There are no conditions for the political review. Speaking of it, Leader Hao had to give up, feeling a little regretful.
"It's a pity. Well, you have done a great job this time. It happens to be the New Year today. You go home to celebrate the New Year first and send the report over tomorrow. Let's discuss how to report it to the leader."
"Uncle Kong, don't forget what you promised."
Zhu Xuefeng turned around and reminded, Uncle Kong's face was a little ugly, how could he talk about the agreement between the two of them.
"I know, let's go find your mother. It just so happens that your eldest brother and third brother are back. You haven't seen your third brother yet."
Lao Kong was thinking about the mission report for a moment. , casually confessed that he wanted to send Zhu Xuefeng away quickly, Leader Hao gave Lao Kong a meaningful look and called Zhu Xuefeng to stop.
"By the way, you don't need to hand back the sniper rifle and bullets. I gave them to you last time. You didn't want them, so I brought them back this time. If it weren't for you, this mission wouldn't have been so successful, and we actually brought back four of them. "
"Those four are all true heroes. They were tortured very badly, but they are still strong-minded. I took such a big risk to save them. They are not wrong, but don't..."
When Zhu Xuefeng heard about the four of them, he didn't care about the sniper rifle and quickly explained to them.
"I understand, this matter is not our responsibility. The person has been picked up and there are formal procedures. Go back and rest quickly."
Watching Zhu Xuefeng leave the yard, Leader Hao looked at Lao Kong , with a bad smile on his face.
"Tell me, Comrade Lao Kong, it's not a bad thing, why haven't you said it yet?"
Lao Kong let it slip for a moment, but he didn't panic at all, "File, you You didn’t look carefully. I added it last time. He recognized my lover as his godmother. This is not a shameful thing, haha. I didn’t confess the matter to the organization.”
“What’s the matter? You have to help hide this kid’s matter. Lao Wang warned me about this several times...”.
When it came to Lao Wang, Leader Hao stopped talking and threw a cigarette. The two of them lit it and stood at the window together, looking at the direction in which Zhu Xuefeng disappeared.
"That's because I'm sorry for your Lao Wang, causing you to lose your only biological son. Every time I see her in the yard, I always feel guilty..."
Lao Kong basically doesn't smoke at home. But he spat out skillfully, "It's all over, don't take it to heart. These three brothers are all good, I'm very satisfied. Besides, now that we have two more siblings, Lao Wang's thoughts have faded away. I don’t hate you anymore. It’s all for this country. She doesn’t hate you as much as you think.”
“You have to be careful about this Xiao Zhu. Don’t use it like this next time. He is not like us. You're such a rude person, he always has good things in mind, if something unexpected happens, you and I can't bear that person's anger."
"I know, there's nothing we can do about it, tell me, high wall. Add barbed wire, tsk tsk, at a height of five or six meters, he can still lead people to climb over it, can it be done by someone else?"
Leader Hao nodded, "Well, it would be good if it was someone else who could go in by himself. It’s shameful that he’s very skilled, and it’s such a pity that he has that female doll. By the way, in his file you only said that he was very skilled, and you didn’t write it in such an exaggerated way. You still kept it a secret.”
Lao Kong threw it away. Cigarette butt, "I never knew it was so exaggerated. Our boss has competed with him and is no match. I asked three instructors to compete with him, but they couldn't tell the difference."
Leader Hao chuckled, " That person is also a master. Maybe you will like him. If we ask him to go over, we will not violate the wishes of the leader. There are many masters in the name. "
Lao Kong didn't have this idea. "I'm disgusted. He is too young. According to the leader's usual style, this kind of person will definitely be beaten in other positions before being used. Besides, he is the inventor of many projects. I'm afraid the chief will still be reluctant to give it to us."
Leader Hao thought for a while, "Yes, our thinking is too simple. Let's go and add up the total. How can we report it to the leader? It's really a headache."
…
Also having a headache is Li Huaide, who is far away in Xiangjiang. Today is New Year's Eve, and the past few months have been difficult. Xiangjiang is struggling. It is a holiday today, and Li Huaide is picking up his mood and accompanying the workers left behind to prepare. New Year's Eve dinner.
"Leader, here is your letter."
Little Luo, a young worker, ran over happily, "Thank you, give it to me." Li Huaide put down the half-picked vegetables and He wiped his hands and reached out to take it. The envelope was very ordinary, but Li Huaide was very familiar with it and knew that this was the letter he had been looking forward to for a long time.
"Old Zhong, please take everyone to continue preparations. This letter is from above. I have to go back and deal with it."
"Dele, don't forget it in a moment. Don’t wait for anyone when the food is ready.”
Old Zhong, a middle-aged man, raised the spatula in his hand cheerfully.
"Hey, everyone is busy first, I will come over in a moment."
Li Huaide smiled and pointed at the man named Zhong, held up the letter in his hand, and said hello loudly to everyone, I just left the restaurant amidst the laughter of a group of people.
Take a few steps and quickly go up to the third floor. For convenience, the space behind the office was converted into a suite by Li Huaide, which is also his bedroom.
I opened the letter carefully and read it quickly. Disappointment suddenly covered my face full of expectation. I read it carefully from beginning to end without giving up. It took me a long time to feel lost. Sit down on your butt.
I asked my father-in-law to help me run the business and was given a slap in the face when I returned to the capital. After all the hard work, I came to Xiangjiang, how could I go back without any trouble?
My father-in-law’s letter made it very clear that the sales at the steel rolling mill can no longer be interfered with, but the performance gap between Shencheng’s small-displacement motorcycles and the steel rolling mill is not big, and the appearance has also been borrowed from those sold overseas. European and American varieties should also have strong market competitive advantages.
“Don’t be tempted to retreat despite difficulties. The more difficult it is, the more you have to face it head on. Wanting to return to the capital after a setback is like being a deserter. As long as you become a deserter once, you will like to be a deserter all your life. Deserter, your life is really ruined.”
My father-in-law’s words are still ringing in his ears, but Li Huaide is really having a headache. His father-in-law asked him to find a way to give ideas to the motorcycle sales in Shencheng. They have made some achievements, but Li Huaide has already suffered two major setbacks here. He has no way to open up Southeast Asia. It is difficult to find a way for Shencheng's motorcycles to open up the European and American markets.
Li Huaide was helpless, lit a cigarette, and stared at the sunset outside the window in a daze. There were not many people in the factory. All the employees in Xiangjiang were on holiday. Except for a few security guards from the security company at the door, the remaining Eighteen of them are all employees from the steel rolling mill. Just like those in Xiangjiang, they have to rest until the third day of the Lunar New Year before going to work. These people can't go back, so they are busy preparing for the New Year's dinner in the cafeteria.
The person in charge below is Zhong Dawei, the former dispatcher of the third workshop. Now he is also responsible for the production of the factory here. Li Huaide has been in a haze these past few months and does not want to do anything. Of course, he can't do anything.
Even his secretary went home to spend the holidays with his relatives. Li Huaide felt very stressed and lonely. He really needed to relax.
I opened the drawer, rummaged through it, found my wallet, and clicked on it, including my salary and the holiday gifts distributed throughout the factory before the year. With a little oil and water, the total amount was only more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars. For others, It was a lot, but Li Huaide clearly remembered that the last time he went to a nightclub, he spent more than 10,000.
Li Huaide has also been here for seven or eight months, and he is more or less aware of the market conditions outside. He was hacked last time, and the local gangsters here are very rampant. He is not afraid of the police at all. He doesn’t want to go to the nightclub. More than five thousand should be able to easily change places for many days.
“Leader, the New Year’s dinner is ready, please hurry up.”
The little girl Guo Ting who came to call Li Huaide was the apprentice of Lao Zheng in the finance office, and she was also the only two people who were not replaced last year. Finance is related to foreign exchange, which is the top priority. In order to ensure smooth foreign exchange, the steel rolling mill has sent people regularly. Audit financials.
"Xiao Guo, I'll be fine soon, come down now."
Li Huaide opened the window and promised downstairs, watching the little girl run away happily, Li Huaide I picked up my wallet and went downstairs. I must have the New Year's dinner with everyone. Afterwards, there will be a program and dumplings to make. Li Huaide is good at seizing the opportunity to mingle with the crowd.
Not to mention that Li Huaide was having New Year's dinner with the master workers, Zhu Xuefeng did not go back to No. 95, but went directly back to the courtyard. In the courtyard, Lao Xie, Lao Zhang and Daya were already ready and were about to get up. When the pot was boiling, I suddenly saw my boss strolling back, and I was overjoyed.
"Master, why are you back?"
Da Ya was even more surprised and quickly helped take the bag.
"The plan couldn't keep up with the change, and I didn't expect to come back today. I'm hungry. Mr. Zhang, what are you waiting for? Let's get started. After all the hard work, I'm really hungry."
Zhu Xuefeng took the hot water basin from Daya, placed it on the bench and washed his face.
"Master, let's have some snacks first. We plan to start at eight o'clock. We have prepared a lot of things. It's a little early to serve them."
Da Ya has already A plate of snacks was brought. Zhu Xuefeng had hardly eaten all day, so he took two pieces of Shaqima and started eating. He broke off some and fed it to Xiao Hei who heard the sound. Xiao Hei lazily stretched his legs and waist, and Unappreciative, he looked at the owner and returned to the bedroom with small steps.
"This little thing is still picked up." Zhu Xuefeng laughed and cursed. Xiao Hei is now very psychic and elusive. It is difficult to see him without summoning him.
"There are not many people this year, just the four of us. Da Ya has prepared so much and is worried about not being able to finish it. The boss came back at the right time."
Master Zhang was a little sentimental. During the Spring Festival, there were eight people in the house. Last year, three brothers and sisters Zhu Xuefeng were missing. This year, two and three Ya were also gone.
"By the way, where are Lin Yilan and Zhou Xiaoyu? Have they all gone home?"
"No, Miss Lin is on duty at the unit, and Miss Zhou seems to have left with Master Xie."
Da Ya still knew the whereabouts of several people very well and reported them quickly.
"It seems that Xie Minghui and Zhou Xiaoyu have really come together, which is good."
Zhu Xuefeng is very happy. The two good brothers now have horse tethers, which is gratifying. I didn't expect that Xie Minghui, who talks little, and Zhou Xiaoyu, who obviously talks a lot, can come together, which is quite interesting.
"My boss, you are going on a long trip. Go and wash up first, take a hot bath, and feel tired. When it is over, it happens to be similar here."
"Then If you are celebrating the New Year, you must be clean.”
Zhu Xuefeng readily accepted Daya's suggestion, "Two old men, you have worked hard, I will eat ready-made food later, haha."
"You are indispensable, so go quickly." (End of Chapter)< br>
