Yue Zhongqi slapped his thigh in anger: "That's just a bunch of cowards using that excuse to cheat on subsidies! You could cheat too. Working in a government agency is so much better, and their spouses even get jobs! Ugh, you son of a bitch, let's break up! You're so stupid!"
Chen Ke smiled and was about to make a phone call: "The old commander is a true scholar-general. He often writes current affairs commentaries in the newspaper. His writing is very elegant. Moreover, he studies the I Ching and has even told my fortune. His predictions are always accurate."
Yue Zhongqi thought for a moment, then sighed and asked, "Have you ever given the old commander a gift during holidays? Okay, I understand, you're just not very perceptive. You should at least call him once in a while, otherwise, how would you ask?"
Chen Ke was always away from home, unlike someone who could visit you every day, so the relationship was naturally a bit distant.
But he said, "He even called me personally a while ago, you know, I was in the newspaper."
His appearance in the newspaper was purely a case of a fool's luck. Originally, everyone from Yue Zhongqi to Wang Baodao to Hu Yong, and even the newcomer Xiao Baihe, could have been in the news, but he was the least likely. However, everyone else ended up in unexpected situations.
But when he appeared in the newspaper, the old leader was naturally delighted.
When the old commander went out to brag, he would naturally say, "Look, these are the soldiers I trained."
But Chen Ke was really too stupid. If Yue Zhongqi had been in the newspaper, he should have called the old leader one by one to report in advance. But he actually waited for the other party to call him.
Well, although it was a roundabout way, the solution he came up with was the most perfect, because even from a metaphysical point of view, the old leader and his wife were loving and had only one daughter, who was also very successful. They belonged to a harmonious family, and the name they gave her was auspicious.
Chen Ke would not reveal the child's identity, only saying that he was his eldest nephew, whom he doted on, and that he had been entrusted with a task and needed a good name.
Yue Zhongqi was worried, but not because of his old superior, but because of Chen Ke, who was terrible at maintaining relationships.
However, when the call was made, the old leader was unexpectedly happy. He complained that Chen Ke never called him and joked that he thought Chen Ke had some kind of problem with him. Not only did he agree to help with the name, he also specifically said that if he had a child, he must call and let him choose the name.
After he hung up the phone, Yue Zhongqi understood: "So you really did save the big boss's life."
Chen Ke retorted, "Why would I lie to you?"
Actually, the main problem was that many of his comrades loved to boast and their words were often exaggerated. Yue Zhongqi was somewhat skeptical, but from the boss's reaction, he could tell that the other person was fine, it was just Chen Ke who was a hopeless case.
Yue Zhongqi sighed, "Damn it, even if you sent me a couple of cans of food during holidays, you'd still be stuck in the government compound."
Chen Ke insisted, "I've said it so many times, I just don't like sitting in office buildings."
This morning, a telegram from the capital contained four names and a brief comment.
Because the old leader used classical Chinese, specifically traditional characters, and his handwriting was rather messy.
Chen Ke could barely recognize it, but couldn't understand it, so he took the things to Nie Yao.
However, he was a person with great wisdom but lacked cleverness, so although he lied, Nie Yao saw through him at a glance.
...
But even if he saw through it, it didn't matter. Chen Ke slapped the paper on his hand and said, "Comrade Nie Yao, I also saved your life."
He not only saved Nie Yao's life, but more than once.
In the Philippines, he was killed by pirates several times during marches if Chen Ke hadn't protected him. Not to mention that he was the only one who was provided with steak, coffee, cakes, and cookies. Others could only have a little bit of the leftovers after he finished eating.
Chen Ke said very seriously, slamming his hand on the table: "I never ask anyone for help."
He took another picture: "Just this once, to help my eldest nephew choose a good name."
Nie Yao paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "Captain Chen, do you know that even if I am a heinous criminal, a pirate like Gui Tou Chang, I cannot refuse you because of our friendship. You are a pure and noble gentleman, shining under the sun and moon, in the vast world. If I let you down, I'm afraid I will feel ashamed."
"Scholars just spout a lot of nonsense, and it's all so pretentious and pedantic," Chen Ke said impatiently. "Hurry up and choose."
And so, shortly after Wang Baodao received the call, Chen Ke actually got the name that had been chosen.
He was afraid of making a mistake, so he specifically used a fax machine, calling Nie Zhao's office and faxing his name over.
