Lu Zhengxiang didn't know why the commander asked about his age, but he told the truth.
"Commander, I am 23 years old."
"23 years old, 23 years old is great, it is the prime of life and a good age, work hard, you will definitely have a bright future."
"By the way, where is your hometown?"
After the commander confirmed his age, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he continued to ask.
"Commander, my hometown is in Beiyuan Village."
After Lu Zhengxiang answered this question, the commander looked as if he had already known the answer and nodded with understanding.
"Not bad, the environment over there in Beiyuan Village is pretty good, but the people aren't that great. You're in Jing City now, that's good, very good, haha."
The commander seemed to be in a good mood at the moment and laughed out loud.
...

"By the way, Comrade Ruan Suhe, I just saw that there is a translation item in your contract with Director Tian. I want to know whether the foreign language you translate is English or?"
After the commander finished chatting with Lu Zhengxiang, he turned the topic to Ruan Suhe.
"Yes, sir, I translated from English."
"So, do you know French?"
"French? I know a little, sir."
Ruan Suhe roughly guessed that the commander would need to translate the French documents himself.
"You can? That's great. Oh, Lu Zhengxiang, you've married a treasure."
"In that case, both of you should not go back yet. Come with me to the headquarters."
After the commander finished speaking, he said goodbye politely to the director of the local security bureau.
After Ruan Suhe confirmed the schedule for tomorrow's activities with Director Tian, she and Lu Zhengxiang followed the commander and got on the military vehicle in front of the police station.
On the way to the headquarters, the commander had been trying to understand Lu Zhengxiang's experience after joining the army, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ruan Suhe was confused. Logically, the commander and Lu Zhengxiang should not know each other. From the surface, the most they looked similar was that they looked similar.
No matter what, she felt that it was unlikely that Lu Zhengxiang had any blood relationship with the commander. After all, Jing City and Beiyuan Village were tens of thousands of miles apart.
However, the army commander's concern and care for others now seems a little abnormal.
When we arrived at the headquarters, the military vehicles were parked directly downstairs of the office building.
The two followed the commander into his office.
The commander's office is very simple. In Ruan Suhe's opinion, it is completely retro in style. Everything is neat and tidy, which reflects the commander's meticulous work attitude.
"Comrade Ruan Suhe, please take a look at this instruction manual first and see if you can translate it."
As soon as the commander entered the office, he took out a thick book-like volume from the drawer behind his desk.
Ruan Suhe looked at the thickness of the book and trembled a little. She had never expected it to be so thick.
"Okay, Commander, I'll take a look."
In fact, Ruan Suhe is now very glad that she chose French as her second degree major when she went to college in the 21st century.
Otherwise, such a good thing would not have happened to her now.
She looked at the contents of the booklet carefully. It seemed to be the production process and instructions for use of military weapons, which was extremely important.
"Commander, to be honest, I can only roughly translate the contents of this booklet, not in detail."
"That's fine. It's enough. You don't know how much of a headache I've had recently because of this booklet. There's no one in the team who can speak French. No one can understand it."
When the commander knew that she could translate it, hope seemed to light up in his eyes, but his face remained stern. After all, his character could not be ruined.
"Okay, Commander, but this booklet is quite thick. It will probably take me three to five days to translate it."
"Five days is too late. How about three days? The team needs these materials urgently. However, you can't take this booklet back with you. You can only translate it here in my office."
"I think I'll have to trouble Comrade Ruan Suhe these days. Is it convenient for you?"
Since the commander had said so much, how could she possibly refuse?
Besides, since she could have this extra task and help the commander, why wouldn't she do it?
"No problem, Commander. I will check on Director Tian's welfare feedback activities in the mornings these two days to see if they are going smoothly. I will have time to come and translate in the afternoon."
After taking on this job, of course she had to take the initiative to explain her schedule, and she did have some skills in talking to leaders.
"Okay, sure. I'll have my clerk open the office door for you this afternoon."
After the commander finished speaking, he specially introduced his clerk to Ruan Suhe to avoid the two of them not knowing each other when they met tomorrow and wasting translation time.
"By the way, Comrade Ruan Suhe, don't worry, I won't let you translate for nothing. I will apply for translation funds from my superiors this afternoon."
"You're too polite, Commander. With a leader like you who clearly distinguishes between public and private matters, do I still need to worry about my remuneration?"
Ruan Suhe certainly would not show any concern that she was doing useless work. The army's military weapons manufacturing process and instructions for use were military secrets. Even if it was to prevent her from leaking the secrets, the team had to give her some hush money.
"Hahaha, Lu Zhengxiang, your wife is not only smart, but also sharp-tongued and never lets herself suffer any loss. She will definitely be a good helper in the future."
As expected, as a senior leader, he would not judge her directly based on her body shape, but would observe her character from her every move and every word.
"By the way, I have a form for you to fill out. Because it involves military secrets, you also need to sign a guarantee."
As soon as the commander finished speaking, his clerk quickly prepared all the necessary written materials.
After the two signed the form and letter of guarantee in turn, the commander felt relieved and let the clerk take them out.
Fortunately, the bus stops in Beijing are now located in strategic locations, and they saw the bus stop not far away. However, they needed to change buses twice to get to the staff quarters.
This is not bad, at least it can save a lot of time walking back.
"Lu Zhengxiang, I'm not saying anything, but the commander looked at you strangely today."
After getting on the bus, the two sat in the last row. Ruan Suhe couldn't help but say what she had been holding in her heart for a long time.
"No, I think the commander is just communicating normally."
Lu Zhengxiang didn't understand and felt that there was nothing strange about the commander today.
"No, no, no, the commander not only asked about your age but also your hometown address, which means he wanted to confirm his guess."
"Also, the basic information form you just filled out, I think the commander wants to extract other information about you."
