"Report!"
"Come in!"
Xu Jianguo pushed the door open and walked into Wu Dajiang's office and said, "Commander, my sister is seriously ill and I need to take a leave!"
Wu Dajiang didn't say anything, but frowned, thinking about something. After a while, he said, "Jianguo, calm down first. The mission has reached a critical moment. If you leave now, the progress of the mission will be affected, which will cause huge losses to the country."
"Chief, the mission has reached its final stage. I don't think my departure will affect the progress of the entire mission!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Nonsense! You are a soldier now. You should put national interests first in everything you do!" Wu Dajiang said. This was the first time he lost his temper with Xu Jianguo.
"National interests are certainly important, but I have done everything I can. For me now, family is more important!" Xu Jianguo continued.
"Jianguo, I understand your feelings for your sister, but you also have to trust the army. We will arrange for the best doctors to treat your sister. Your first priority now is to complete the remaining work. Besides, going to the hospital now will not be of any use. Why don't you understand this?"
"I also know medical skills, and I'm no worse than anyone else. I must go back and diagnose my sister myself, otherwise I won't be able to do my current job well!"
"No, I order you to return to your job immediately!" Wu Dajiang said angrily.
"Commander, I'm sorry but I can't obey your order! If the price of being a soldier is to sacrifice my family to protect everyone, then I don't want to be a soldier. I will submit my retirement report now, and I will definitely return home!" After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for Wu Dajiang to speak.
"Bastard, bastard!" Wu Dajiang was so angry that he trembled all over when he saw Xu Jianguo's firm attitude. He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it against the door.
Wu Dajiang's face flushed red, and he walked back and forth in the room several times with his hands on his waist. After thinking for a while, he picked up the phone on the table and called his old leader.
After the call was connected, Wu Dajiang told the whole story. A moment later, the old leader's voice came from the phone: "Wu Dajiang, did a donkey kick your brain?"
"Ah?" Wu Dajiang didn't expect the old leader to say that and thought he had misheard.
"What? Didn't I tell you before that people who care about their loved ones are usually not bad people?"
"Yes, you did!"
"Since the project has reached its end, why can't you be flexible? You know Xu Jianguo cares about his family, but you still insist on using justice to pressure him. What else can you gain by doing this besides his fierce resistance?!"
The old man didn't wait for Wu Dajiang to speak before continuing, "Besides, with so many countries in the world, when have you ever seen a national-level project completed by one person? What are those old guys from the Chinese Academy of Sciences doing? If it weren't for Xu Jianguo, would you have been able to complete this mission? Such a good opportunity for a heart-to-heart talk was ruined by you! Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"
The old leader became more and more angry as he spoke, making Wu Dajiang, a fifty-year-old man, act like a child who had made a mistake.
"Then, old leader, I have said this. What should we do now?" Wu Dajiang asked.
"How should I know? You caused this trouble yourself, so find a way to solve it yourself! I'm telling you, that old fellow Wei Chunjiang has been eyeing Xu Jianguo for a long time. He's said that as long as Xu Jianguo agrees, he can be admitted to major universities without taking exams, and the associate professor and professor positions are a foregone conclusion. He may very well become the youngest academician in Longxia Country in the future!"
"No, old leader, I admit that Xu Jianguo is an excellent kid, but it shouldn't be like this, right?"
"You know shit! Let me tell you this, there's no one in China who can compare to Xu Jianguo in related fields, except for those people in the desert. Listen carefully, there is not a single one!"
"this……"
"Anyway, I'm telling you this. If Xu Jianguo really quits because of you, then you'll be fed to the pigs!"
"No, no!"
"Hmph!" The old leader snorted coldly and hung up the phone.
Wu Dajiang felt a little headache, thinking that he, the commander of the Black Mountain Base, was actually being controlled by a kid who was less than 20 years old. How aggrieved!
"Report!"
Just when Wu Dajiang was in trouble, Xu Jianguo's voice was heard outside the door.
"Come in!"
Wu Dajiang looked at Xu Jianguo standing in front of him with an embarrassed look on his face. He asked, "What's the matter?"
"Commander, this is my transfer report. I have packed my luggage and will leave soon. Thank you for taking care of me. Goodbye!" After Xu Jianguo finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave without waiting for Wu Dajiang to speak.
Wu Dajiang saw this and immediately his blood boiled. He started to curse, "You little bastard, you're rebelling! Stand at attention!"
Xu Jianguo stood there without turning around. Wu Dajiang stood up, took the report on the table, and without even looking at it, he balled up the paper and threw it at the back of his head.
With a "bang", the paper ball hit Xu Jianguo on the head, but he did not move and still stood there.
Wu Dajiang walked over, raised his leg and kicked him in the buttocks, then pushed him and said, "Get out of the way!"
Xu Jianguo took a step to the side without saying anything.
Wu Dajiang felt like his punch was hitting cotton. He was so angry that his face turned red. He shouted to the door, "Zhao Gang!"
"Here!" Zhao Gang answered and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Prepare the car and take this little bastard to the train station so he doesn't make me angry here!" Wu Dajiang said angrily.
Zhao Gang was stunned and said, "Yes!"
After Zhao Gang left, Xu Jianguo turned his head slightly and secretly looked at Wu Dajiang, but he didn't expect that the old man was also staring at him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Thank you, Chief!"
"Get lost, stop smiling at me, go early and come back early, and be careful on the road!"
"yes!"
"Go say hello to those old guys before you leave!"
"good!"
When Xu Jianguo arrived at Lengxi Station, it was already dark. He jumped off the bus with a canvas bag on his back, saluted the driver, and quickly walked into the station.
Since the trip was sudden and there was no direct bus from Lengxi to Binhai, Xu Jianguo could only reach his destination by constantly changing trains. However, he did not intend to do so. Instead, he planned to rush to Binhai through the space portal after boarding the train.
Taking out his military officer certificate and letter of introduction, Xu Jianguo bought the earliest train ticket to the northeast of Longxia Kingdom. After waiting for nearly three hours, he finally boarded the train.
