After the trip to Phoenix TV, Chen Lin first took Zhang Lei to his hometown in Northeast China to gather his old comrades, and then went to Shenzhen to meet with Mr. Qi to discuss the foundation's affairs.

"Salute!" As soon as he saw Mr. Qi at the Shenzhen port, he lined up with three soldiers to salute Chen Lin, and then said solemnly: "Comrade Chen Lin, on behalf of my comrades, I thank you for your donation."

"Oh, Xiaoxuan, what are you doing, a few comrades in the People's Liberation Army?" Chen Lin was stunned for a moment when he saw this. After coming to his senses, he waved his hand and said that he could accept such courtesy.

"Once the foundation's affairs are implemented, many comrades will benefit. You can take this salute." Mr. Qi praised: "Brother Lin, you are a good man, and my sister is really right."

As Mr. Qi invited Chen Lin to get in the car, he said something surprising to Chen Lin in an understatement: "Brother Lin, my old man is very interested in the matter of the foundation and said he wants to meet you. I will take you to see him now."

"Damn it!" Chen Lin almost jumped in the car when he heard this.

Who is the old man? He is Qi Xuan's grandfather, the commander of the Guang*zhou Military Region of the seven major military regions in the country, and a dignified general who commands hundreds of thousands of troops and controls the power of life and death.

Speaking of which, Chen Lin has seen many big names, and his biggest official is Chen Tianhua, the secretary of the Hunan Provincial Party Committee. However, when he heard that Qi Xuan's grandfather wanted to see him, he still couldn't help but feel shocked.

This is the general. Although the provincial party secretary is also a chief official in the border area, at least the people can see it frequently on TV. But how many senior generals in the army have the opportunity to see it?

Chen Lin had never been a soldier. In his eyes, the troops themselves were mysterious. Moreover, it was a figure like a general who was very knowledgeable. It was hard for him to imagine how handsome the character of commanding thousands of troops throughout his life and boiling wine on the river.

The military vehicle drove for an hour and turned into a farm mudstone path. At the end of the road, an ordinary farmyard appeared in front of me.

"Xiao Qi, why did you take me to the farmer's house? It's hard for the old man to live here?" Chen Lin said in confusion when he saw the farmer's courtyard.

In his imagination, the old man should not live in a large yard where the legendary guards are tight and idle people should not enter? How could it be in a remote countryside?

"Haha, the old man usually lives in the army and will come here to stay when he has time on weekends. He likes life in the countryside very much. He always says that after retirement, he should be a farmer here safely." Qi Xuan explained with a smile.

That's right! Chen Lin nodded to show that he understood. The car stopped outside the yard. He took a deep breath and tried hard to avoid being nervous. He got out of the car.

Fence, soil, weeds.

This is an ordinary farmhouse. Only when Chen Lin walked into the house did he feel a little different.

The room was too clean, the tables and windows were wiped clean, and everything was neatly arranged and meticulously.

Chen Lin met Qi Xuan's grandfather in the backyard. The old man was 65 years old, with a red face and full of energy. He was wearing a straw hat, a very simple dress, and a hoe to grow vegetables.

To be honest, the old man's simple peasant outfit made Chen Lin look dumbfounded. If he met someone he didn't know outside and beat him to death, he wouldn't believe that this old man was an admiral.

Secretary Chen Tianhua also looks amiable on the surface, but Chen Lin can still see the temperament of a superior person in Secretary Chen. But the old man in front of him is really not different from the elders in Chenjia Village.

"Grandpa, I've brought it to Brother Lin." Qi Xuan led Chen Lin to the old man and shouted obediently. Chen Lin also quickly called out, "Grandpa, OK."

"Well, Xiaolin is here!" The old man looked back at Chen Lin, and then continued to grow vegetables.

Chen Lin and Qi Xuan didn't say anything anymore and watched the old man grow vegetables. They saw that the old man first dig a small hole in the field with a hoe, then grabbed a few vegetable seeds and put them in the hole, sprinkled a little fertilizer, and finally added the hole. The old man was very skilled in this series of movements.

One minute later, the old man buried a pit and turned around and smiled at Chen Lin: "Xiaolin, you can grow vegetables. There is also a hoe. Come and help me, otherwise this vegetable will not be planted at once."

"Okay." Chen Lin came from the countryside and of course he could grow vegetables. He picked up a hoe next to him to help.

However, being able to grow does not mean that it is good to plant. Although Chen Lin is a rural child, he rarely works at home, and he doesn't even know how to plant it, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't know how to plant it.

Look, he dug a deep pit with a hoe. He was about to grab a handful of seeds and throw them in. The old man stopped him: "Hey hey hey, it's not like this. You see, your pit is too deep. Generally, 10 cm deep is enough. And your seeds have at least pellets. Don't put so many, 3-5 are enough."

Chen Lin stuck out his tongue, filled the pit, and started over again. The key points of this were to master the movements, but the movements were still slow. Seeing this, the old man shook his head and smiled and scolded: "You kid, you are so embarrassed to say that you came from the countryside and you can't even grow vegetables."

Chen Lin touched the back of his head and giggled twice. Somehow, he felt happy when the old man scolded him, and a trace of nervousness disappeared immediately.

"Xiaoxuan, don't stand aside and laugh, come here too, I'll give you this hoe, you two will plant the rest." At this time, the old man saw the young grandson standing aside and watching Chen Lin's joke, so he handed the hoe to him.

Qi Xuan did a lot of farm work under the influence of his grandfather. This was a piece of cake for him. He happily took his grandfather's hoe and started working with Chen Lin.

While working, the old man talked about family matters with Chen Lin. The old man mainly asked about the situation in Chen Lin’s hometown, how many brothers and sisters are there, are their parents healthy, how are their living conditions in the countryside, etc.

Time passed quickly during the chat. After a while, the two of them had planted all the vegetables. The old man nodded with satisfaction and asked them to go into the house to rest.

Qi Xuan brought stools to make tea for grandpa and Chen Lin, and he looked like a good baby from beginning to end. The old man took a sip of tea and asked about the foundation.

"Xiaolin, you have a very good idea to run this veterans employment training fund. It is rare that you, a child, can think of this." The old man looked at Chen Lin kindly and praised.

When the old man heard his grandson talk about the foundation, he was very happy because the resettlement of veterans, especially disabled soldiers, is a difficult problem for the army. There are few places where monks are placed, and there are limited places for resettlement, and many veterans need to seek their own jobs every year.

The old man knew that many retired soldiers worked as security guards in factories and were paid lower than ordinary workers, which even had difficulty supporting their families.

Not to mention that some disabled soldiers have a very difficult life after returning to their hometown. Although he is a dignified general and is in charge of commanding troops to fight, he is powerless in this matter. The country's economy is still very difficult, and his military expenditure is insufficient, and his meager allowance is not enough.

The soldiers bleed on the battlefield and still cry after they retire from the army. This is a helpless and heartbreaking thing.

"Grandpa, you've won the award." Chen Lin said with a smile: "My ideal since childhood is to be a soldier. I applied for the military academy in my senior year of high school, but unfortunately I failed the physical fitness, so I admire soldiers very much. Now I am very proud to do something for soldiers."

"Yeah" the old man nodded with gratitude, and then asked Chen Lin what specific plans he could make for the foundation.

“That’s how it is…”

Chen Lin had a plan in his mind, so he said it. He wanted Qi Xuan to take the lead in opening a security company and let veterans do security. Some people with physical illnesses will serve as instructors and counselors.

This will kill two birds with one stone. First, it will be possible to accommodate soldiers. Then, the security industry is a prosperous industry, and making money is no problem.

100 million yuan seems to be a lot, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in need of help across the country. This is a drop in the bucket when counting this amount of money. Chen Lin’s idea is to make money with money. The foundation must be able to develop in the long run and grow, and it will be meaningful to help more and more soldiers. Otherwise, it is inappropriate to simply send the money to the soldiers, and many soldiers will not accept it.

If you use this money to run a business, the company is completely run by veterans, such as a security company, which can kill two birds with one stone, which can help them, and it can also reflect the spirit of not waiting or relying on self-help.

"This idea is good. I agree with opening a security company." Qi Xuan agreed with Chen Lin's idea when he heard it. However, he quickly had questions again: "But there are not a few military veterans. How many people can a security company accommodate?"

"Haha, you don't know about Xiaoxuan. As our country's economy develops more and more wealthy people, and more companies, they also have more demand for high-quality security services. As long as we become bigger and stronger and become the largest security company in the country, the business will be placed in tens of thousands of people across the country. In addition, after the security company makes money, it can invest in other industries. This will not allow a large number of personnel to be placed. This will form a good cycle, which can greatly alleviate the problem of military resettlement in less than three years." Chen Lin said with a smile.

"Brother Lin, it's great. I firmly support it. I decided that this security company must do it." Qi Xuan was immediately excited when he heard that he could accommodate tens of thousands of people and effectively solve the problem of resettlement of veterans.

The old man was also very happy when he heard this, but he quickly thought about something and said thoughtfully: "Xiaolin, according to your idea, the scale of the security company will expand rapidly. Within three years, there may be tens of thousands of veterans. These tens of thousands of people are not ordinary people, but are all military personnel who have been strictly trained. Tens of thousands of soldiers are not a small force. Xiaolin, are you still considering other things?"
