When Lin Jing returned home, it was almost midnight
The lights were still on at Lei Hongfei's house. Apparently he hadn't slept yet and was waiting for Lin Jing to go back. Lin Jing stood in the cool night breeze, looking at the orange light coming from the window. He felt warm and cold in his heart.
His eyes softened and he walked over step by step, gradually breaking away from the busy work state and feeling a little tired.
Seeing him come in, Lei Hongfei, who was processing data on the computer, immediately stood up and said with a smile: "You're back, please change your clothes first, and I'll go get the food out."
"Okay" Lin Jing took off his military cap and uniform, hung them on the decorative invisible coat rack by the door, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When walking through the living room, he noticed the things on the coffee table, but he only glanced at them without stopping. After taking a shower and changing into home clothes, he sat on the sofa and carefully looked at the things on the coffee table.
The main body of this work of art is an ancient ship with a peculiar shape, which is covered with various traces and the atmosphere of vicissitudes of life permeates it. There is a dove on the raised bow with half-open wings, and its eyes are full of wind and frost. Its mouth
Holding a vibrant olive branch in its mouth, one paw is curled up under its belly, and the other is stretched out on the side of the ship. It is obvious that it has just returned and is about to land.
Lin Jing didn't know much about many myths and legends, but he still knew the story of Noah's Ark. At this moment, he understood the theme of this artwork. After the legendary flood, the dove released by Noah
Carrying an olive branch indicates that the water is receding and land is beginning to appear. All life on the ark can continue, making the world rejuvenated and moving towards civilization. Therefore, doves and olive branches have become symbols of peace and hope.
It is all inlaid with bullet casings, but it is not a simple handicraft, because it has a soul and is full of artistic flavor. The person who made it is very amazing. It should be at the level of an artist, not a craftsman with exquisite skills.
While he was looking at it carefully, Lei Hongfei came out with four small bowls on a tray and greeted him happily, "Come and eat."
Lin Jing immediately stood up and went over to Lei Hongfei, who put two dishes, one soup and a small bowl of rice in front of him, and thoughtfully said: "It's midnight, you can't eat too much, drink more soup."
"Yeah" Lin Jing nodded. He had been working hard and had just taken a shower. Now he smelled the aroma of vegetables and felt very hungry. He picked up the bowl and started eating.
Lei Hongfei put Fang Cheng's card in front of him and said casually: "Did you ask someone to put that thing back?"
"Yes." Lin Jing glanced at the words on the card and said calmly, "It was sent by his adjutant. I looked at it from a distance and saw that it was not an important public property, so I asked Xiao Cai to send it back and put it away.
I’ll take a look at it when I have time. I didn’t expect it to be a very interesting piece of art. It must have taken a lot of thought and time to make something like this.”
"Yes, it is indeed a very good piece of art." Seeing Lin Jing's dull reaction, Lei Hongfei felt happy. Seeing that he admired the thing very much, he immediately praised it, "I have seen it before.
Things made of bullet shells have a relatively simple structure and are not so complicated. In addition to the meticulous and exquisite conception, it expresses the theme vividly and even renders the atmosphere very well. It's amazing."
Lin Jing agreed with his high praise, "This piece of art is very valuable, it must be very expensive to buy." At this point, he frowned, "What is the purpose of Minister Fang giving me such an expensive gift?
Could it be that there will be some movement among the top brass in the military, and I will need to stand by his side to support him?"
Lei Hongfei laughed wildly in his heart. Naturally, he would not reveal Fang Cheng's true intentions. Instead, he followed his train of thought and said: "It's possible, but you can't be fooled by him. If there is any dispute in the future, you have to stand by me."
side"
"Of course," Lin Jing blurted out, and then looked at him doubtfully, "What? Is there really any movement? Who is following whom?"
Fang Cheng's father is the chairman of the Military Commission, and Lei Hongfei's father is the vice-chairman of the Military Commission. The two have always had a good relationship and have never heard of any problems. Could it be that outsiders don't know, but their sons know the inside story? If that's true, then that's
to cause great turmoil
Lei Hongfei knew what he was thinking. This was not a trivial matter and he must not be misunderstood. So he quickly shook his head and said, "Don't think too much. There won't be any movement from the top. It's just that Fang Cheng has some selfish motives."
"Oh, that's nothing." Lin Jing nodded, relieved that soldiers who don't want to become generals are not good soldiers, and who among those who become generals don't have ambitions? Even if Fang Cheng has any ideas, he wants to be better.
On the first floor, it is a normal thing. Since he has reached this level, he will definitely not be able to stay away and stand aside. If Fang Cheng has any requirements in the future, as long as it does not violate his principles of life and doing things, he will not be harmed.
Friend, of course he will help if he can. It is always good to have multiple friends with strong backgrounds.
Lei Hongfei looked at Lin Jing's thoughtful look and was so happy. Lin Jing's eyes were clear and his expression was magnanimous. It was obvious that he didn't think about feelings at all. This showed that Fang Cheng didn't have anything special in his mind. That was heaven.
big good news
In this case, he had no grudge against the things Fang Cheng had sent. After Lin Jing finished eating, the two of them sat on the sofa together, carefully studying the materials of the artwork and identifying the models of the bullet casings.
It is actually very easy to collect bullet casings. After a drill, there are tens of thousands of bullet casings. Therefore, they know most of the bullet casings on this sculpture, but some are relatively rare. The two discussed it for a long time and searched for information online.
Comparing the database of the Half-day Special Forces Command, there is information on weapons of various services and arms from all over the world. It is very detailed. As long as they can get physical objects, they also have them. It is mainly used to train special forces to familiarize themselves with and master these equipments before going out to carry out operations.
During the mission, they can skillfully use the weapons snatched from the enemy. They are all famous generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. They have always had great enthusiasm for various weapons. At this time, they lingered in the weapons depot to find out the origin of those strange bullet casings.
, I feel very enjoyable
The gift sent by Fang Cheng used a wide variety of bullet casings, which were used in weapons from various countries, but they were all commonly used in the army and were not considered military secrets. They quickly checked them out. During the investigation, the two of them
I discovered new interesting information, so I naturally put aside the gift and started searching further and further with great interest. I didn’t enjoy it until late at night and went to bed together happily.
The next day, Lei Hongfei carefully measured the size of the work of art and planned to take the time to buy a table online to place it specifically. Lin Jing liked the gift very much and agreed with his approach, and then went out to work first.
Went
Soon Fang Cheng called Lin Jing, his attitude was very gentle, but what he said was business, "Commander Lin, I read your report. There are some things that I'm not very clear about. I need to know more about it. Please see when you have time.
Come to my office?"
Lin Jing opened the calendar and looked at it, then said: "What time would be more suitable for you this afternoon?"
"Then it's five o'clock," Fang Cheng said with a smile, "Let's talk about business first, and then go to my house for a drink after get off work. What do you think?"
Lin Jing originally planned to work overtime tonight, but entertaining Fang Cheng was also a very important job, so he nodded and said: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
"Okay, let's see you in the afternoon." Fang Cheng ended the call with a smile.
