Chapter 323
When Song Jingzhou saw the leader looking at him, he immediately raised his head and chest, stood at attention, and saluted the other party!
"Hello, Chief!"
Li Ruide's pupils shrank and he stared at Song Jingzhou without saying a word for a long time!
"Minister Li?
Vice President Zhang called out softly!
Li Ruide finally came back to his senses, "What's your name, young comrade?"
Before Song Jingzhou could say anything, Vice President Zhang immediately responded with a fawning look on his face, "Minister Li, this is my right-hand man. I'm telling you, I've finally found my successor. This Song kid, he's so talented..."
"Is your last name Song?" Song Ruide asked anxiously.
Vice President Zhang immediately interrupted, "Yes, yes, that's right. His name is Song Jingzhou. He's from southern Hunan. He retired a few years ago and was specially recruited back this year!"
"This time since I came back, I've helped our engineering department achieve two breakthroughs..."
Vice President Zhang was suddenly stuck while speaking. He looked up and down at Song Jingzhou, and then at Li Ruide.
"What a coincidence! Minister Li seems to be from Shonan as well? And your eyebrows and features look a bit similar."
"Are you two long-lost relatives?"
Song Jingzhou's pupils shrank, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said jokingly.
"Vice President Zhang, the comrades at the Academy of Engineering all say that you always try to get close to the leader whenever you see him. It seems the rumors are true!"
"Last time, I heard from Team Leader Liu that you were chasing Minister Li, claiming to be his long-lost brother. What? Now you happen to have brought someone from the same place to do the job, so you've become Minister Li's long-lost relative again?"
"Your excuse for seeking a relationship is quite explosive even if you look at the entire military and political circles!"
Vice President Zhang was extremely embarrassed. Although he did have some intention to get a little warm with her, he was pointed out so bluntly that he felt awkward and subconsciously touched his ear.
There’s nothing I can do, it’s scalding hot!
"Song kid, don't listen to their nonsense. I just said that I had a younger brother who was separated during the war. He is about the same age as the minister. Who said I chased the minister to recognize his brother?"
"They're quick to react and stir up trouble even when there's no wind. Especially that idiot Liu Chuanzhi, who doesn't do his job all day long. He's like a big radio broadcaster, gossiping everywhere..."
Vice President Zhang suddenly came to his senses when he said this. This was still in front of Minister Li. It was not good to say bad things about others. He quickly stopped and changed the subject.
"Minister Li, aren't you recuperating in a sanatorium due to a relapse of your old illness?"
"Oh, why don't you listen to my advice..."
Vice President Zhang affectionately took Li Ruide's hand to express his concern.
If it weren't for a leader like Minister Li who took the lead in this article, he wouldn't be living such a good life today. He would have been forced to take sides by those who played power games.
Therefore, Minister Li must live a long life so that he can focus on his scientific research career!
On the other side, Wang Jingtao's eyes darkened, and he looked at Li Ruide and Song Jingzhou's faces back and forth without any expression.
The two of them do look somewhat similar, especially their slightly upturned eyebrows and side profiles, which are almost god-like.
Judging from the age difference between the two, if you don’t know, you would think they are father and son!
However, Wang Jingtao quickly rejected this idea, because no one in the world knew Li Ruide better than him.
Li Ruide never married in his life. It seems that he suffered severe physical and mental injuries due to an accident when he was young.
So he said that he didn't want to delay other girls and had given up the idea of getting married a long time ago. Instead, he put all his passion into his career.
It was also the fate of the two. Since he was eight years old, he met Li Ruide at his grandfather's house. The other party liked him as soon as he saw him.
Wang Jingtao, who lost his father at a young age, also loves to stick to this uncle who loves him so much.
When he was ten years old, Li Ruide held a grand marriage ceremony for Wang Jingtao in the Kyoto circle and adopted Wang Jingtao as his adopted son!
After more than ten years of living together, the two have become as close as father and son, even beyond blood relationship.
It can be said that Wang Jingtao knows everything about Li Ruide best!
But at this moment, Wang Jingtao felt empty inside, and an emotion he couldn't describe spread in his heart. For some unknown reason, he developed a great hostility towards this man named Song Jingzhou!
Song Jingzhou stood there with an honest look on his face, his eyelids drooping, a smile on his lips, listening to Vice President Zhang's chatter.
It was as if he didn't feel at all the inquiring glances from Wang Jingtao and Li Ruide from time to time.
"Minister Li, you must take care of yourself. The country and the revolution need you!"
Li Ruide looked at Vice President Zhang who was chattering away, and the smile on his face seemed a little forced.
You keep telling yourself to take care of yourself, but can't you see that you are shaking even though you are leaning on your crutches?
The guard next to him was the first to notice Li Ruide's situation. He quickly stepped forward to support him and gave him a warning.
"Commander, the doctor said we'll have acupuncture this afternoon. It's almost time!"
Vice President Zhang finally came to his senses.
"Then Minister Li, please go back quickly and don't delay your recovery!"
"You must take care of yourself, we all need you!"
The guard quickly helped Li Ruide to get into the jeep. Wang Jingtao was quick to help open the back door!
"Godfather~, take care and follow the doctor's orders. I'll come see you when I'm free!"
Vice President Zhang stretched his neck from beside Wang Jingtao, bared his teeth and waved at Li Ruide.
"Goodbye, Minister Li!"
Li Ruide returned a kind smile and waved to the people outside the car.
The car started slowly, and the smile on Vice President Zhang's face gradually faded.
Until the car was no longer in sight, he returned to his usual arrogant attitude.
"Song boy, why don't you leave?"
“Oh, here it comes!”
Song Jingzhou hurriedly followed Vice President Zhang and headed towards the Engineering Research Institute.
Wang Jingtao looked at someone walking away opposite him, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.
But please don’t let it be you!
Song Jingzhou, who was walking in front, listened to Vice President Zhang's incessant chatter, and responded with "hmm, hmm" responses, but his eyes glanced behind him!
"Dean Zhang, are you familiar with Minister Li?"
Vice President Zhang became even more excited. "How could he not be familiar with me? I can focus on scientific research entirely thanks to him!"
"If it weren't for the fact that those above him had to give him some face and didn't dare to go too far, do you think I could still stay at the Engineering Research Institute?"
"If it weren't for Li Ruide, we wouldn't know who would be the final author of our previous research results!"
"Let me tell you, this Li Ruide is an orphan, and it seems he has some connection with Chief of Staff Wang."
Song Jingzhou asked curiously, "Origin? Could it be that he was able to get to this point because of Chief of Staff Wang?"
