Chapter 348 Conflict
Yes, Lu Chiyu remembered that this Jiang Mingxuan actually looked like her senior brother Cheng Ran.
Sure enough, Jiang Mingxuan nodded: "Well, Cheng Ran is my cousin. He has contacted us after he came back. Thank you very much, Junior Sister Lu, for going to Sea C and rescuing my cousin from Country B.
When my research is less busy, I will definitely go to South Island to visit Teacher Rong."
Jiang Mingxuan's words were as polite as Lu Chiyu's, but they were not disrespectful to the other party. Moreover, they both tacitly agreed not to talk about the "childhood marriage" joke again, which eased the awkward atmosphere at the scene for a while.
The happiest person was Lu Chiyu. Seeing that this senior brother was so easy to get along with, she couldn't help but smile sincerely:
"So Senior Brother Jiang is Senior Brother Cheng's cousin. That's such a coincidence. Senior Brother Jiang, you don't have to be polite. I wasn't the only one who saved Senior Brother Cheng Ran. Besides Senior Brother Cheng Ran, we also saved my father and the others.
My father would be very happy if you went to visit him in South Island. He loves nothing more than meeting old friends.”
"I'm sorry, teacher. He finally came back from C Sea, but I haven't had the chance to visit him." Jiang Mingxuan said with some shame.
Lu Chiyu was about to comfort him when Gu Yuan suddenly coughed and said, "Ayu, let's go to the base first. The mountain wind is too strong here and it's not suitable for us to stay for too long."
"Yes, yes, Brigadier General Fang, let's go into the base."
Lu Chiyu hurriedly agreed with a smile. Others might not have heard it, but she knew that a certain man was already jealous, so she shuddered and didn't dare to say anything more to Jiang Mingxuan.
Brigade Commander Fang nodded repeatedly after hearing this. "I was inconsiderate. Chief Engineer Lu, Mr. Meng, and everyone else, please come into the base. I've had dinner prepared for you."
Next, Lu Chiyu and the others asked Brigade Commander Fang to arrange accommodation for the soldiers first.
The southwest is mostly mountainous, and so is the western province. Moreover, in order to keep it secret, the base was built deep in the mountains.
This base has obviously been established for some time. The buildings are quite old, and most of the houses are made of mud bricks and tiles, and some even have thatched roofs. The conditions are very difficult.
However, many houses have red, inspiring slogans painted on their exterior walls, creating a sense of hardship yet progress.
However, the base arranged one of the few cement brick houses for Lu Chiyu. Although it was only one-story, it also had a small courtyard. The conditions were much better than the surrounding dormitories.
Brigade Commander Fang personally sent Lu Chiyu here and said a little embarrassedly: "Chief Engineer Lu, our conditions here are limited. Thank you for your hard work. Minister Shen personally instructed us to take good care of you during your pregnancy. If you feel uncomfortable or need anything, please tell us and we will do our best to help."
"You're too polite, Commander Fang. The conditions at the two bases I've been to before were similar to this. As a scientific researcher, hard work and perseverance are essential."
Seeing the other party's apology, Lu Chiyu comforted her. In fact, the conditions here were indeed more difficult than the base she had stayed in before, but she could adapt to it.
She knew that the conditions in the southwest were worse than those in the South Island, and that the fighter jet development project had been launched too hastily, so the higher-ups had not had time to build additional bases.
Upon hearing this, Brigade Commander Fang was very grateful to Lu Chiyu for not finding fault with their base at all. He had already prepared himself for the possibility that such a proud girl would dislike the conditions in their southwest.
Even their military district had considered that others would turn around and leave after seeing the conditions of their base, and then the fighter jet research and development project that they had worked so hard to obtain would have to be moved to another place for development.
The reason they were able to obtain such an important scientific research project this time was because they had salvaged the fighter jet from Country B. Their army commander was determined to keep the project because he was afraid that the news would leak out if the fighter jet was transported away.
So he said excitedly: "Thank you, Chief Engineer Lu, for your understanding. Chief Engineer Lu, you are indeed as wise and righteous as the rumors say.
Then I won't bother you, Chief Engineer Lu, with your arrangements. I've already had the house cleaned carefully. From now on, this will be your home, Chief Engineer Lu, and Brigade Commander Gu. You can decorate it as you like.
The cafeteria should be open for dinner in an hour, and I'll have Xiao Zhang take you there." Xiao Zhang was Brigade Commander Fang's guard.
Lu Chiyu was about to thank them when Qian Tian, who had been making trouble at the gate of the base, came towards them with a group of people in a threatening manner.
