“Commander, please really invest 10 million!
Aren’t you a little too trusting of Lin Huowang? "
When those officials and experts were there just now, Secretary Xiao Liu didn't dare to interrupt.
It was so quiet in the office that you could hear the ticking of the wall clock.
The sunlight shines through the window, casting bright spots on the ground.
But after they left, Secretary Liu said hesitantly.
He frowned slightly, worry revealed in his eyes, and his hands were unconsciously clasped in front of him.
"Yes! I trust Comrade Lin Huowang, just like I trust every soldier who fought bloody battles during the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of China.
In today's national economic development, aren't we facing one tough battle after another?
If we can't trust our comrades enough, how can we continue this war?"
The old man's eyes suddenly became solemn again. Although he had fought countless battles in his life, he had never felt such overwhelming pressure as he did now.
He looked out the window, and the distant horizon seemed to hide unknown challenges.
On the walls of the office, there are several old photos from the war period, as if telling the glorious days of the past.
…
On the other side, Shanghai.
In early spring in Shanghai, the sun shines lazily on the earth.
The military plane landed and the huge roar echoed over the airport.
A jeep was already waiting at the airport.
The military green paint on the car body has turned slightly white in some places, but it still exudes majesty.
"Hello, Chief!"
The driver saluted Liu Guopeng. He was ordered to pick up the famous General Liu.
The driver stood tall and straight, his eyes full of respect.
"Hmm! Where does my wife live now?
Is your daughter back?"
After getting in the car, Liu Guopeng asked anxiously.
He had just won a great victory and made a first-class collective achievement. Naturally, he was eager to go home and share his joy with his wife and daughter.
His face was filled with excitement and he leaned forward slightly, as if he couldn't wait to see his family.
"Reporting to the chief, the Guo residence has not yet been vacated and sorted out.
Director Guo also rejected the unit's offer to arrange a new dormitory and continued to live in his original place.
Your daughter, Comrade Liu Rumeng, has returned to Shanghai for some time.
At present, the organization has not arranged a job for Comrade Liu Rumeng. However, according to Director Guo's suggestion, we have asked the Shanghai Drama Troupe several times to see if Comrade Liu Rumeng is suitable to be a drama actor. "
Before coming, the driver had already inquired about these situations in case Liu Guopeng asked about them.
He looked straight ahead and reported in an orderly manner.
"Yeah! Mengmeng is back in Shanghai, that's great."
Liu Guopeng hasn't seen his daughter for nearly eight years. When he left, she was just a ten-year-old girl. She must have grown into a beautiful young lady now. She has grown up in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, Liu Guopeng also felt very guilty in his heart, as he had completely missed out on his daughter's youth when she needed a father the most.
He leaned back in his seat, a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Soon, the jeep drove into the alley.
The alley is narrow and long, with densely packed Shikumen houses on both sides.
Because today is Sunday, most people are resting at home and not going to work.
Nowadays, only big shots can ride in cars. For ordinary people, having a bicycle is already very good.
So, when the jeep drove directly into the alley, the sound of the engine and the horn immediately attracted many neighbors to come out and see.
"Mom! It's a car, a jeep.
I wish I could ride in a car like this someday."
A little girl with pigtails held her mother's hand and said with sparkling eyes.
"Who is this important person? He came to this alley in Ala!"
An old lady with gray hair, leaning on a cane, looked around curiously.
…
One by one, they came out cautiously, and when they saw the green military jeep, they began to talk about it.
The alley was suddenly bustling with activity and filled with chattering sounds.
In the room, Liu Rumeng and her mother Guo Linxian also heard the noise outside.
The room was not big and was furnished with simple furniture: an old wooden table, a chair, and a bed against the wall.
They didn't go out to watch the fun. Guo Linxian said with a smile
"Meng Meng! These people really have never seen the world. It's just a jeep. What's so strange about it?"
She sat on a chair, holding a book in her hand. She seemed calm, but in fact, she was a little curious.
"Mom! Don't say anything. I heard the sound of the jeep.
I...I want to go out and take a look.
In the past, every time my father came back from the army, he would ride in a jeep to our doorstep.
As soon as I heard the sound of the jeep engine, even if I was taking a nap, I would immediately jump up, run out the door, and jump into my father's arms. "
Thinking of her father Liu Guopeng, Liu Rumeng's face was filled with sadness, and she asked her mother, "Mom, where did Dad go to work?
Why didn’t he even leave a specific address? How can we write to him or something?
When will he be back?
I…I haven’t seen him for a long, long time. I miss Daddy! Mommy! I miss Daddy…”
She sat on the edge of the bed, tears in her eyes.
"Mengmeng, it's almost time! It's almost time! Your dad said he will be back during the holidays."
Guo Linxian hurriedly comforted her daughter, but in her heart, didn't she miss her husband too?
