While everyone was there, Liu Ziguang said: "The company's business has been expanding rapidly recently, and I may have to go on a long-term business trip."
Both parents said: "It doesn't matter. We are in good health. You put your work first and don't worry about us. But it's best to get married first. We, the old couple, will help you take care of the children."
Liu Ziguang smiled and said, "I've finished eating and I have plans for the evening, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he went out and went downstairs, got in the car and went straight to Binjiang Avenue. He parked the car in front of a cafe and walked to the riverside platform. The wind blew in the summer night and the lights on the other side flickered. A slender figure faced the mighty river.
Have been waiting for a long time.
Liu Ziguang walked over: "I'm leaving. The focus of my future work will be overseas."
"Congratulations, I have heard that Red Star Company has received a large order, at least tens of millions of dollars." The person waiting here is none other than Li Wan.
"How did you know?" Liu Ziguang asked.
Li Wan turned his head and smiled, the wind blowing the broken hair on his temples: "Zhicheng Group has been notified that overseas engineering projects must sign a security contract with Red Star Company, a monopoly industry, and overlord clauses. Your Red Star is now completely like a central enterprise.
."
Liu Ziguang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Where, the Red Star is no longer the Red Star it used to be, and I can't help it."
"That's fine, people always have to do something. With your temperament, maybe the magnificent mainland is more suitable for you than the second-tier small city of Jiangbei. As you embark on your journey, I wish you immediate success and ask for your help.
Just a favor."
"What?"
"The engineering company jointly established by Zhicheng Group and Huaxia Mining needs a head. I think you are the most suitable candidate. It shouldn't be difficult for you to shoulder two responsibilities."
"Can I do it?"
"Of course you can. It is said that the iron ore belongs to you. Even if you are trying to raise a banner and use it as a tiger skin, you just need to put your name on it and someone else will be responsible for the specific work. What do you think? Do you agree?"
"Of course, I will do my best for your matter."
Li Wan smiled: "Why do you seem to feel that you owe me a lot? In fact, there is no need for you to feel guilty. I can understand your difficulties. Elderly people have more traditional ideas. Fang Fei is obviously more suitable to be the son of your old Liu family than me.
Wife, you really don’t have to worry about it. By the way, when will you get married?"
"Something happened at home, so it's been postponed indefinitely."
Li Wan was silent for a while: "Everything will be fine."

Mayor Hu asked his secretary to say hello to the Exit and Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau. When he went to apply for a passport the next day, his attitude was indeed much better. However, not one of the documents that should be presented was missing. He was not accommodating in business matters, such as the one for the passport.
Standard photos must be taken at a designated photo studio, so you will have to wait another day.
Xiao Huang immediately reported to the leader that Liu Ziguang made a phone call to Director Tan: "Director Tan, my work is very difficult. It's just one step at a time. It takes three days to apply for a passport. If this continues, the boys will probably
I can’t get to work as scheduled.”
Director Tan naturally understood the difficulties at the grassroots level. He thought about it and replied: "In this way, you take people directly to the provincial capital, and I will arrange people to help you deal with all the problems. It is just a good opportunity to meet your new colleagues."
So Liu Ziguang personally rushed to the provincial capital with thirty Red Star employees. His Bombardier could not accommodate so many people, so he asked Xiao Huang to buy the nearest train ticket. However, the ticket from Jiangbei City to the provincial capital has always been the most stressful.
I went to several sales points but could only buy ten of them. Even asking Xiao Dagang from the train station area for help was of no avail. Just when I was worried, a call came to Liu Ziguang’s mobile phone. The caller claimed to be the military representative of the military region stationed at Jiangbei Railway Station.
The superior assigned to help them solve the ticket problem.
The departure time is eight o'clock in the evening. Taking advantage of this time, Liu Ziguang did a simple ideological mobilization work for the employees. The future business scope of Red Star Company will be overseas, with a rotation cycle every six months, a basic salary starting from 6,000, overseas allowances, tropical allowances, and meals.
The total amount of subsidies and other miscellaneous money is about 12,000 per month, which provides food, accommodation, work clothes, round-trip air tickets, five insurances and one housing fund, and enjoyment of national statutory holidays. In a word, such a generous job is under the name
There was no lantern to be found. The young men were in high spirits, gearing up and eager to start working immediately.
After dinner, a bus took them to Jiangbei Railway Station. Young men uniformly dressed in military green T-shirts, sand-colored tactical pants, and desert boots carrying huge backpacks filed off the bus. People on duty in the square
The police immediately cast a doubtful look. There are no new recruits this season. What is going on with this group of people?
A man in military uniform had already been waiting at the station door. When he saw them coming, he went up to them. After shaking hands and greeting Liu Ziguang, he brought everyone into the station. He went directly to the platform without checking tickets or luggage. The team members lined up to wait. A few minutes later
A Harmony train roared in, and the military representative directed them to get on one of the carriages. After getting on the train, they discovered that the entire carriage was empty. It was clearly a special train prepared for them.
When the bus arrived in the provincial capital, it was half past ten at night. A tour company's bus stopped at the exit. A young man picked them up and took them to the most luxurious five-star hotel in the provincial capital to stay. The young man
Everyone had never seen this formation before, and they were all shocked. Even Liu Ziguang felt puzzled. It seemed that the higher authorities paid more attention to Red Star than he thought.
At 6:30 the next day, we got up on time and gathered for breakfast. Then we handed in the copies of our ID cards and photos. The same tourist bus yesterday took everyone to the training center of a certain unit in the suburbs for a meeting. After entering the venue, we found that there were already people there.
Arriving first, thirty young men in casual clothes sat motionless in the venue, their backs straight, their curvy haircuts and dark skin showing their status as soldiers.
The employees of Red Star Company are also veterans, so they naturally have a good impression of them when they see the same kind of people, but that group of people seems to be very disdainful to them. They don't even turn their heads when they hear hello, and their faces are as rigid as steel.
.
"Damn, what are you pulling?" Shi Tao snorted dissatisfied, the sound was not too loud or too quiet, just enough for the other party to hear. This time he poked a hornet's nest, and several people stood up and cursed at Shi Tao: "
How dare you say it again."
"I just said what the hell, what the hell, it's like 25,800,000, who the hell hasn't been a soldier? When I was a soldier in the Marine Corps Brigade, you didn't know where the hell you were playing with mud.
Here." The tall and tall Shi Tao rolled up his sleeves with a sneer, and the two groups became at war with each other.
In the opposing camp, a young man with fine features stood up and looked Shi Tao up and down: "He is from the Marine Corps, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter. Believe it or not, I can knock you down with just one hand?"
"Oh, don't be afraid of your mouth slipping when you talk big, try it."
As he spoke, he moved his hands. As the young man said, he only used one hand and knocked down Shi Tao within three moves, and the fall was quite solid. The boys from the Red Star heard each other.
The crowd booed, and just as they were about to rush forward in anger, they heard a shout from the podium: "Stand at attention!"
Out of the military's conditioned reflex, everyone quickly stood up straight with their hands together. A burly man walked in surrounded by everyone. Although these people were not wearing military uniforms, they could not hide the smell of iron-blooded soldiers.
live.
Liu Ziguang was stunned when he saw the big man. Isn't this Captain Zhong, the leader of the T unit who had trained in Nantai County? Speaking of which, Li Jianguo was still his comrade.
"Hello, Mr. Liu, let me introduce myself. My surname is Zhong. I come from the capital. We will be business partners from now on." Captain Zhong smiled and extended his hand to Liu Ziguang. He obviously recognized him.
But the behavior was the same as when we first met.
"Mr. Zhong, nice to meet you." Liu Ziguang shook hands with him, but was shocked to see that Captain Zhong's gloved hand was cold and hard, obviously a prosthetic limb.
Then Captain Zhong introduced a young man behind him: "This is Qiu Pengfei, Xiao Qiu, you will be work partners from now on."
Qiu Pengfei was about 27 or 28 years old, fair and fair, wearing a pair of glasses. When he shook hands with Liu Ziguang, he only touched it lightly, and then asked the audience: "Who was fighting just now?"
No one paid attention to him. Who knew who he was? Qiu Pengfei turned to Team Zhong and said displeasedly: "Without organization and discipline, this won't work."
He obviously used a blaming tone, but Captain Zhong didn't seem to mind. Instead, he shouted down: "Ning Zhen, get out of the queue!"
The young man who knocked down Shi Tao with one hand just now stood up, his chest high and his eyes full of arrogance that looked down on the world.
Seeing this, Liu Ziguang had no choice but to shout: "Shi Tao, get out of the queue."
Shi Tao also stood up, standing side by side with Ning Zhen. Although his face was bruised and swollen, his arrogance was no less than that of Ning Zhen.
Qiu Pengfei adjusted his glasses and was about to speak when Captain Zhong spoke first: "We fight when we meet. How can we work together in the future? Go run ten laps on the playground outside."
"Yes!" Ning Zhen responded loudly without any hesitation, but Shi Tao turned his attention to Liu Ziguang. Liu Ziguang was unmoved and shouted: "What are you doing standing still? Go quickly, and find a rope to pull you two together."
His left and right legs are tied together."
Penalty running is common, but tying two people's legs together to run is rare. The two had no choice but to find a rope to tie each other's legs together, and walked out with strange steps.
Captain Zhong cast an approving look at Liu Ziguang without saying anything, but Qiu Pengfei was obviously not very satisfied with the result. He hesitated to speak, adjusted his glasses and said, "Let's get started."
At the beginning of the meeting, Brigade Zhong first did a simple mobilization, and then Qiu Pengfei did the ideological education work. I have to say that his eloquence is quite good. He gave unscripted speeches, was full of passion, and his speech was very contagious. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have a trace of military temperament.
, Liu Ziguang simply suspected that he had been a political commissar before.
