After watching the game, Zhang Long took his girlfriend for a stroll around Guangzhou.
Although he served in the army in Guangzhou for five years, he was really unfamiliar with the city.
Guangzhou's urban area is very developed, but all the high-rise buildings look very similar, and I felt a bit tired after walking for a short while.
Before they knew it, the two of them saw a red dragon shop.
After thinking it over, he figured that since he had come all the way to Guangzhou, he should take his girlfriend back to his old unit to see his comrades and former leaders.
"Nourishment changes the body, and living environment changes the spirit."
Since Zhang Long made his fortune, he has incorporated a lot of knowledge-based content, and his overall demeanor has gradually changed.
Especially after getting together with his girlfriend, he became more cautious in his words and actions because he needed to be mindful of the impact.
This feeling is wonderful; it can only be understood intuitively and cannot be described in words.
If you add a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, it will look even more convincing!
When visiting my old squad leader and former leader, I should bring some gifts, right? Cigarettes and alcohol would be fine, and the special supplies I just happened to get from Hu's father are perfect.
Call the branch office and ask them to send a van over.
Zhang Long felt that now that his business had grown so large, it was no longer appropriate for him to do everything himself; it was time to hire a secretary.
Hu Xinxin was supportive of this matter. She had noticed it a long time ago. Her original plan was to go to the company and become his secretary, and then take over the company openly and legitimately after she became a full-time employee.
Unexpectedly, she only made a slight move and directly subdued Zhang Long.
Moreover, the company's business was booming, so it was not advisable for her to go back in, lest she be perceived as trying to seize the family fortune.
Zhang Long, who is now worth hundreds of billions, doesn't even have a secretary, which is quite unusual.
They started working on this matter as soon as they returned to Shanghai.
The branch office's car arrived quickly, after all, the boss was personally waiting there. If they dared to delay any longer, they would lose their jobs.
He carried seven or eight boxes of high-end fruit from the store, tossed them into the car, and happily embarked on his journey to his old military unit with his girlfriend.
Hu Xinxin naturally had no objections; in fact, she especially wanted to see what her boyfriend looked like when he was a soldier.
She had actually seen her boyfriend's old photos on Tencent's QQ Space, but back then he was tanned dark, completely different from his current fair-skinned and handsome appearance.
The two laughed and joked in the car, and time flew by; the two-hour drive passed in a flash.
It's already past nine o'clock at night. Normally, people would go to visit the military base during the day.
However, he wasn't worried, because he had previously served in the division's guard company, and the gate post was his old post, so visiting him would be very convenient.
There's no need to even enter the main gate, so there's nothing to worry about.
He parked his car in the parking space at the entrance, looked out the window at the barracks where he had lived for five years, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I've dedicated the best five years of my life to this place.
He pointed to the barracks on the east side of the gate and said to his girlfriend, "Look at that row of houses over there, I lived there for five years."
"Time flies, it's been more than three years since I was discharged from the army. I guess all my old comrades-in-arms have retired, but I guess my old squad leader should still be around."
“Last time he heard from Brother Qiang that he is now a fourth-level sergeant major, and if he wants to be demobilized, he will have to wait another three years.”
The car immediately attracted the attention of the gatekeeper after it stopped.
Because at this time, most people had gone to the company for roll call, there were only five people at the entrance.
If it's another leader coming to inspect, we're doomed.
Inside the car, Zhang Long was chatting with his girlfriend about his past experiences in the army when suddenly someone knocked on the window.
"Comrade, this is a restricted area. Outside vehicles are not allowed to park here. If there is nothing else, please leave immediately!"
A young sergeant said to him.
Zhang Long looked at his shoulder insignia; he was a first-class sergeant. He realized he didn't recognize him and guessed that this was a new recruit who had joined the army after Zhang Long's discharge.
Seeing that Zhang Long remained silent and kept scrutinizing him, the sergeant became secretly wary.
His hand unconsciously reached for the holster at his waist.
Seeing this, Zhang Long chuckled and said, "Brother, don't be nervous. I also retired from here."
"You must be in your third or fourth year of service, right?!"
Is Lao Cao still in the third row?
"Old Cao?"
"Which Old Cao?"
The sergeant was a little confused, after all, there were quite a few people with the surname Cao in the company now.
"It's Cao Kuio, Squad Leader Cao."
"Oh, you mean Platoon Leader Cao? He's acting platoon leader now!"
"They're taking roll call in the company!"
"Who are you?"
Zhang Long chuckled and took out a cigarette, offering it to the other person. Seeing that the other person didn't take it, he didn't mind and still gave it to him.
“I was one of his former soldiers. I never even saw you when the third platoon was discharged.”
Upon hearing that it was the old squad leader, the sergeant didn't refuse; after all, they were all on the same side.
The two stood by the car chatting happily. Zhang Long lit a cigarette and handed him a lighter.
The sergeant was now even more convinced that this was the veteran squad leader, since they didn't carry fire on their bodies when they were on duty.
Because of a previous incident, a leader came to inspect, but he was craving a cigarette and couldn't find a lighter, so a squad leader gave the leader his own lighter.
Well, during a meeting once, this leader casually mentioned this matter.
Those who know, know; the leader just opens his mouth, and the subordinates run themselves ragged.
It was originally a very minor matter, but it took two whole weeks to sort out.
From then on, any cigarettes or lighters found on duty were confiscated.
"Hehe, as expected of the old squad leader. My name is Lu Xing. I just became a sergeant last year. May I ask your surname, old squad leader?"
"Should I call the company?"
"No need, no need, I'll be back soon anyway,"
"My surname is Zhang. I used to be Lao Cao's deputy squad leader. I lived on the upper bunk on the east side, next to the toilet."
"By the way, who's the company commander now? Is it still Xia Guobin?"
Lu Xing nodded: "Our current company commander is still Company Commander Xia."
Zhang Long couldn't contain his吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) spirit: "Old Xia isn't good either. He's still a company commander, and he hasn't been promoted to deputy battalion staff officer or anything?"
"He must be so full of his rank badges that he can barely hang them all now."
“When I left, he had already served twelve years in the military. Three years have passed, and his rank insignia are now full.”
Faced with Zhang Long's complaints, Lu Xing could only smile.
There are some things Zhang Long can say that he can't, after all, Zhang Long has already retired from the army, and he still has to make a living under someone else's command.
Just then, the two suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.
Chapter 1 is presented. The next chapter is still in production, so please be patient.
