The office furnishings were very ordinary.
Its only notable feature is that it has a huge number of books.
An entire wall has been transformed into bookshelves.
On the mahogany bookshelf.
It was full of all kinds of books.
History, geography, economics, philosophy, and management, as well as some classic Chinese and foreign works.
Director Zhang Qingyun is well-versed in both Chinese and Western learning and possesses extensive knowledge.
To become the top leader's chief secretary.
His abilities and insights are naturally extraordinary.
Qin Weiguo and Chen Yang walked into the office.
"Director Qin, you've arrived."
Zhang Qingyun took the initiative to leave his chair and stood up to greet him.
Invite Qin Weiguo to the guest lounge area.
She personally brewed tea for him.
However, he ignored Chen Yang, who was standing to the side.
It was as if they hadn't seen the person at all.
Qin Weiguo considered introducing Chen Yang to him several times.
On second thought.
I held back again.
Chen Yang stood silently to the side, without saying a word.
His expression was calm.
But a sense of foreboding crept into his mind.
It's obvious.
This interview got off to a bad start.
I don't know what happened?
Did this cause Director Zhang to develop a prejudice against me?
Qin Weiguo tentatively spoke.
"Director Zhang, you asked me to come here today..."
Zhang Qingyun laughed heartily.
"good!"
"The selection of the imperial guards has been over for several days."
"I asked you to come here today to ask about the final selection."
suddenly.
He turned his head and glanced at Chen Yang.
"This young man, is he the winner you chose?"
Qin Weiguo nodded immediately.
"Yes."
"He is the most outstanding talent in our Military Intelligence Bureau."
"They were also the strongest soldiers selected from the entire army through rigorous screening."
Chen Yang stepped forward at the opportune moment.
Stand at attention and salute.
"Reporting to Director Zhang, Chen Yang is reporting for duty."
Zhang Qingyun never showed his emotions.
He waved his hand gently.
"It doesn't count as reporting for duty."
"Today's interview was just a routine one, and it's hard to say whether I'll pass."
He looked at Qin Weiguo again.
"Director Qin, Chen Yang is indeed quite outstanding."
"but--"
Don't you think he's too young?
Qin Weiguo was stunned.
"What makes you say that?"
Chen Yang is indeed very young.
but.
He is truly outstanding.
Whether it's combat strength, intelligence, or military achievements.
He is skilled in both literature and martial arts, plans carefully before acting, and commands with composure.
He is truly a rare talent.
Recommending someone to the top leader is also a way of recommending talent to the leader.
Make more contributions to the Dragon Kingdom.
Can't young people be given important responsibilities?
Huo Qubing drank from the vast sea and sealed the wolf's lair.
His fame was illustrious; he was the champion.
Isn't this the best interpretation and encouragement for young people?
When should we consider seniority and age when recommending talent and nurturing geniuses?
Zhang Qingyun didn't hide anything.
To put it bluntly:
"To be honest, Director Qin, after the selection results came out..."
"I heard some voices from some sources."
"This is quite disadvantageous for Chen Yang."
"Chen Yang is probably not suitable to become a member of the Imperial Guard."
Qin Weiguo stood up abruptly.
Facing Zhang Qingyun directly.
"Who exactly is it?"
Why are you slandering Chen Yang?
"What did he say?"
Why is Chen Yang unsuitable to serve as an imperial bodyguard?
Zhang Qingyun remained silent for a moment.
"Director Qin, please don't get agitated."
It doesn't matter who said it, and I won't tell you.
"The key is..."
"He makes sense, I have to be careful!"
Qin Weiguo pressed further:
"What did he say?"
"What makes you conclude that Chen Yang is unsuitable?"
Chen Yang was also very curious.
Who exactly is this mysterious person?
It was an unintentional coincidence.
Or is it intentional slander and suppression?
What exactly did he say?
What reason could there be to stop yourself from improving?
Zhang Qingyun slowly said:
"Young and impetuous, arrogant and reckless."
"Is this reason sufficient?"
Qin Weiguo almost burst out laughing.
"Director Zhang, what are their reasons...?"
"Is Chen Yang young and impetuous, arrogant, and reckless?"
His expression was one of shock and astonishment!
"It's true that he's young, but where does his arrogance come from?"
"It's true that he's talented, so where does his arrogance come from?"
"To say he's rash and reckless is utter nonsense!"
He pointed at Chen Yang.
"Director Zhang, what do you think of him? Is he impulsive? Is he reckless?"
Chen Yang's expression remained calm and composed.
Zhang Qingyun raised an eyebrow.
He took a closer look at Chen Yang.
I was slightly surprised.
From the very beginning, I deliberately ignored this kid.
They didn't invite him to sit down, nor did they pour him any tea.
Even their words often carried a sense of disdain.
He remained calm and composed throughout.
There was absolutely no trace of impetuosity or recklessness.
One must have considerable self-control to remain unmoved by external gains or losses.
Could the rumors be wrong?
He nodded slightly.
"Um……"
"At this point, he certainly doesn't seem like a rash person!"
"but--"
His gaze was fixed on Chen Yang's face.
"I still have a few questions I'd like to ask this young man."
Chen Yang straightened his chest.
"Please give instructions, sir!"
A smile appeared on Zhang Qingyun's face.
But it didn't seem like appreciation.
It's more like a sense of doubt and sarcasm.
You're only 22 years old this year.
"How did you manage to climb up to the rank of senior colonel step by step?"
"Did you really earn those credits through real battles, or were they fabricated, with someone else acting as a stepping stone for you?"
"What methods did you use to win over Director Zheng and Director Qin so much that they went to great lengths to recommend you?"
Anger, surprise, and relief flashed in Chen Yang's eyes.
In just a few seconds.
His expression changed several times in an instant.
In the end, he remained calm and composed.
"Director Zhang, my age doesn't mean anything."
"Military ranks are all given by the leadership and the organization based on their appreciation."
"I have never asked for anything."
"As for military merits."
"It's all thanks to the brothers below who risked their lives!"
"My contribution is indeed insignificant."
“Every time I see a military medal, I think of my comrades who sacrificed their lives.”
"They are the ones who give and contribute the most."
Qin Weiguo's expression became extremely tense.
He tried to interrupt Chen Yang several times.
How could he talk to his boss like that?
There was absolutely no distinction between superiors and inferiors.
Moreover, denying one's own contributions is precisely falling into the trap of rumors, isn't it?
It’s over!
This interview is a complete disaster!
A glint of light flashed in Zhang Qingyun's eyes.
He gave Chen Yang a deep look.
He tested the waters three times in a row.
From ignoring, to belittling, to denying.
The intensity of the stimulus will be increased step by step.
I just wanted to see how this young man would react.
If he really is, as the rumors say.
Young and impetuous, arrogant and rude, impulsive and reckless.
How could anyone withstand such stimulation?
Let alone a talented, capable, and precocious young man.
He's just an ordinary young man.
Why are you trying to provoke him like this?
Why aren't they angry with you?
A falling out is a minor matter; it might cause a huge uproar on the spot.
He just swung his fist and hit.
Let me show you how capable young people are these days.
Chen Yang's performance was indeed quite unexpected.
He doesn't seem like a naive young man at all.
Could it be...?
Was he pretending all along?
perhaps.
Should we try him again?
