Chapter 421 Host Style
The eldest brother and the eldest aunt were already stunned. They had been eating melons for so long, and the real owner was actually right beside them!
They looked at each other and tacitly chose to run away. They
had talked to the family of a big shot. If they told others about it, it would be a big deal!
Duan Haiping saw the two of them acting sneaky and thought they were some suspicious elements. He was about to send someone to invite them for tea.
Liu Jianan stopped him in time: "They are just kind-hearted people who eat melons. Don't bother with them."
Duan Haiping's expression softened instantly: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Are you tired? I'll carry you home?"
As he said that, he half-knelt down with his back to Liu Jianan and motioned Liu Jianan to climb on his back.
Going home?
Liu Jianan's heart skipped a beat. He never knew that the word "home" would suddenly bring such a strong touch to his heart.
He always felt that he had lost the desire for home, especially after he read the book of superpowers and knew the tragic fate of his previous life.
The Hu family was very good to him, and he always regarded the Hu family as his own home.
But obviously the home that Duan Haiping talked about was different from the home that the Hu family gave him.
It was a place that truly belonged to him, a place that could shelter him from the wind and rain even if he didn't have to grow up or be strong.
Liu Jianan only realized now that he was such a greedy person. He
already had the affection given to him by the Hu family.
But at the moment when Duan Haiping made the invitation, he also wanted to get this favor that belonged to him alone.
"I'm fine, I'm not tired..." Liu Jianan wanted to remind Duan Haiping that so many people were watching and it would have a bad impact on them. However,
Duan Haiping didn't care about the eyes of others: "Then I hold you? In fact, I wanted to hold you, but I was afraid you didn't want to..."
"Let's carry you on our backs." Liu Jianan interrupted Duan Haiping and climbed onto his back.
The man carried his sweetheart on his back with satisfaction. Just as he was about to carry Liu Jianan into the city, he suddenly thought of something and stopped.
"Mom and Dad, and all of An An's friends, please follow me." Duan Haiping turned around and said to everyone.
Zhang Wenqian and Hu Deyi didn't expect Duan Haiping to call them mom and dad as soon as he came up, and they didn't react for a while.
It was Hu Jianye who took their hands and said, "Let's go into the city first. Do you want to sleep outside the city?"
As soon as he entered the city, Liu Jianan found that the vehicles were ready. He
watched his companions get on the car one after another and were picked up by Duan Haiping's men. Only Xu Zhaoxin and Yang Shu were left.
He couldn't help but ask Duan Haiping, "How are you going to arrange them?"
Duan Haiping still carried Liu Jianan on his back, and his eyes scanned the two people standing in front of him, "I don't plan to let them continue to do their original jobs."
Liu Jianan was startled, and quickly pleaded for them, "You want to dismiss them? But they also followed your instructions to go to Yuncheng to find me, so they couldn't stay in Kyoto! And along the way, they also did a lot for you, don't think I don't know, you can't be so rude."
"An'an, what are you thinking about?" Duan Haiping explained patiently, "Their current strength is outstanding even in Kyoto. Don't you think it's a waste of talent for them to be my assistant and bodyguard?"
Liu Jianan: "What do you mean?"
Duan Haiping's face froze and he said seriously: "Xu Zhaoxin, I officially appoint you as the captain of the ninth squad of the Superpower Army."
Before Xu Zhaoxin could react, Yang Shu hurriedly reminded him: "Silly, salute!"
After Yang Shu's reminder, Xu Zhaoxin hurriedly saluted: "Yes!"
Duan Haiping continued: " Yang Shu, I officially appoint you as the captain of the 10th squad of the Superpower Army!"
Yang Shu immediately saluted with his boots, his movements were extremely standard: "Yes!"
Seeing this, Liu Jianan laughed and said: "So you had planned it a long time ago, why didn't you tell us earlier, you deliberately scared us, right?"
Duan Haiping said aggrievedly: "It's unfair, although I am now the commander of the Superpower Army, the superiors have given me a lot of power. But a superpower squad has thousands of superpowers, which is equivalent to the configuration of a brigade. I want to appoint a squad leader, I must first fill out a written report, and wait until the meeting passes before the appointment."
"The relevant review work has basically been completed. They only need to report to Beijing before the appointment letter can be issued."
This is the helplessness within the system. Even if Duan Haiping is already the army chief, he still has to report when he should, and he can't just appoint whoever he wants.
Liu Jianan nodded in understanding. This is not the Shaanxi Security Zone, and it is not a one-man show.
All important resolutions require meetings and votes, and follow procedures.
Duan Haiping's promotion to army chief is the result of the green light from the top. This special case is not something that everyone can enjoy.
The entire military has witnessed how great Duan Haiping's contribution was in the early days of the apocalypse.
If it weren't for the 10 billion supplies he swallowed, the military would have to bear huge losses even if it could survive the most difficult period at the beginning of the apocalypse.
This kind of loss is not only material, but more of a loss of talent and armed forces, and may even affect the development of science and technology.
Because of this, Duan Haiping can become the greatest contributor to the military.
"Okay, you two should go back to the villa. I've prepared a welcoming banquet to welcome you." Duan Haiping said.
When the last car drove away, only he and Liu Jianan were left at the scene.
The crowd of onlookers had long dispersed, and Duan Haiping's subordinates were also arranged by him to pick up and drop off the companions who were traveling with Liu Jianan.
"You sent them all away, who will take us to your house?" Liu Jianan asked.
Duan Haiping corrected, "It's our house."
Liu Jianan hummed, but the tip of his ears quietly turned red.
Duan Haiping punished him, "Ask again."
"No." Liu Jianan struggled to get off Duan Haiping.
"Be good, let me carry you again." Duan Haiping coaxed him, "I want to hear you ask again, okay?"
Liu Jianan pondered for a moment, and finally met Duan Haiping's request: "How are we going home?"
Duan Haiping smiled and said, "Fly home!"
As he said this, he took advantage of the boy's inattention, turned around and hugged him from his back into his arms.
Then he used his double wings to send both of them into the sky.
"What are you doing!" Liu Jianan was startled, but fortunately he was familiar with the feeling of floating in the air, and he quickly calmed down.
Duan Haiping looked at the boy tenderly: "I want to take you to see every corner of Kyoto. I know you like the hustle and bustle, and here are the lights of thousands of homes that you like."
Liu Jianan gave him a speechless look: "Although your starting point is good, I suggest you don't set off."
Duan Haiping was puzzled: "Why?"
"You are stupid, you hold me, my perspective is upward, and I can only see the night sky!" Liu Jianan really didn't know whether this guy was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, or that his appearance made his brain crash.
He just thought that Duan Haiping was so silly and cute now.
Duan Haiping suddenly realized and had to carry Liu Jianan on his back again.
"Is there a possibility that I can fly?" Liu Jianan said with a smile.
He found that when Duan Haiping was with him, he would really do some incredible things.
Duan Haiping coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
He changed the subject abruptly: "Look down, is Kyoto beautiful?"
Liu Jianan looked down obediently. At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the streets and alleys of Kyoto had been lit up with lights.
Warm and bright.
It was like in the long dark night, in the fragmented disaster.
The lights, symbolizing every warm and happy family, are dispelling the haze in people's hearts.
Liu Jianan's eyes were hot and he almost shed tears.
He had personally experienced the end of the world.
Meteorites fell to the ground, the sky was dark, and everywhere were broken walls and ruins smashed into ruins by meteorites.
Hospitals were overcrowded, people were displaced, and what they saw was the tragedy of the world and what they heard was the widespread sorrow.
But human beings can always stand up and straighten their backs in the disasters.
They are unyielding, they are full of hope, and they have rebuilt their own families in the ruins.
"It's so beautiful." Liu Jianan sighed sincerely, "It's like seeing hope."
Duan Haiping smiled slightly. In his heart, no matter how beautiful the night view is, it is not as good as the smile of his sweetheart.
"An'an, I used most of the supplies you asked me to stockpile to support post-disaster reconstruction." Duan Haiping worriedly, "Will you blame me?"
Liu Jianan was puzzled: "Why do you blame you?"
"I blame me for almost squandering the family property you earned for me."
After hearing Duan Haiping say this, Liu Jianan turned his gaze from Kyoto to the other party and laughed: "You said it all, that was the family property I earned for you, you naturally have the right to control it."
"What's more, even the materials in my purple gold gourd are enough to feed you and me." Liu Jianan said softly, "I always think that if you are poor, you should take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you should help the world. Since we have the ability to make our country better and we can benefit from it, why not do it?"
Duan Haiping's eyes flashed with irrepressible love. This is the person he likes, so perfect and so beautiful, how can he not be deeply involved in it?
"It's almost time, we should go to the banquet, otherwise your companions will think I kidnapped you." Duan Haiping said gently.
Liu Jianan nodded slightly: "Let's go."
The two flew back to the Duan family villa. The living room of the villa was transformed into a banquet hall, with flowers, red carpets, fine wine and performances, none of which were left out.
When Duan Haiping and Liu Jianan arrived, the host quickly raised the microphone and said, "Please welcome our protagonists today, Duan Haiping and Liu Jianan!"
The applause was thunderous!
Liu Jianan was dragged to the stage by Duan Haiping in a daze.
He was muttering in his heart, "This is strange. Is this how a banquet is held?"
He has rarely participated in banquets, so he is really confused.
Maybe this is the style of the host in Kyoto?
