After hearing what Chen Jin said, Xu Jianguo suddenly understood and nodded, saying, "Hurry over and don't keep the commander waiting too long!"
Chen Jin smiled, nodded and didn't continue talking. The driver Xiao Liang, who had been paying attention to the conversation between the two people in the back seat, couldn't help but increase the speed of the car.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a hot pot restaurant in Qianmen.
As soon as Xu Jianguo got off the car, he felt that he was being fixed on by several pairs of eyes. However, he didn't care at all. He just looked around and looked at the eyes that were staring at him.
Just one glance was enough to shock the special agents of the Security Bureau who were dressed in plain clothes and disguised as various identities.
In his heart, he secretly raised the danger level of the young officer who looked calm and composed not far away by several levels.
After the two got off the car, the driver Xiao Liang drove away. Xu Jianguo followed Chen Jin and walked into the door of the hot pot restaurant.
As soon as he entered the door, the feeling of being watched came over him again, but Xu Jianguo didn't care at all. He stepped onto the stairs and followed Chen Jin to the second floor.
In a private room at the innermost part of the second floor of the hot pot restaurant, two young men in waiter uniforms were standing at the door.
Although they disguised themselves very well, Xu Jianguo could still tell at a glance that they were soldiers. The iron-blooded aura that came from their bones was too familiar to Xu Jianguo, and it could not be hidden no matter what.
Chen Jin nodded to the two of them. One of them looked at Xu Jianguo and turned around to knock on the door.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the private room: "Come in!"
When Xu Jianguo heard the voice, a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
As the door was pushed open, Chen Jin said, "Comrade Xu Jianguo, come in!"
Xu Jianguo nodded, stepped in, and turned the screen. The kind face that made him feel familiar, friendly, admired, and awed appeared before him.
At this time, the old man was sitting at the table, looking at him with a smile on his face.
After adjusting his collar and cap badges, Xu Jianguo quickly walked over, stood at attention, saluted, and said, "Hello, Chief!"
The old man smiled and nodded, then said, "Jianguo, long time no see, please sit down!"
"Yes!" Xu Jianguo agreed and sat down on the right side with his hands hanging down.
Since ancient times, the left has been superior and the right has been inferior. Xu Jianguo chose to sit on the right, which showed his respect for the old man.
"Come on, you're tired from the journey, let's eat and talk at the same time!" The old man said with a smile when he saw Xu Jianguo sitting down. After that, he picked up the fresh mutton on the plate with chopsticks and put it into the boiling copper pot.
"Okay, Chief!" Xu Jianguo replied.
The old man put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't call me Chief anymore. From now on, just call me Grandpa, just like you call Old Man Su!"
Xu Jianguo became excited when he heard this. He said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa!"
"Hey, good boy!"
In the following time, the old man and the young man ate hot pot and chatted like an ordinary grandfather and grandson, without talking about any work topics.
The old man was very happy and kept putting mutton into Xu Jianguo's bowl.
He accepted everything and ate it with big mouthfuls.
The old man looked at Xu Jianguo eating meat with big mouthfuls, his eyes full of smiles, and he became more fond of this little guy.
The more big figures like them who have come out of the war, the more they tend to dislike young people who are timid in what they say and do. On the contrary, those children who have been naughty since childhood, who have a bottom line in their behavior and actions but are not particular about details, are more to their liking.
Xu Jianguo is such a person. Ever since he first arrived at the Montenegro base, and later at Binhai and Dawali, he has fought many fights, big and small, but he always stands his ground and no one can find fault with him afterwards. This is why the old man likes him.
After dinner, the grandfather and grandson got up from the table and sat down in the rest area nearby.
The old man picked up the tea bowl on the table, took a sip of the tea that had long since cooled, and said with some emotion: "Jianguo, I believe you are aware of the current situation outside. I hope you can stick to your beliefs and bottom line in your heart, and don't follow the crowd!"
Xu Jianguo naturally knew what the old man meant. As the saying goes, people with different beliefs cannot work together. Even if he had not said these words, just because of what happened to his parents and brother in his previous life, he would never be like those people.
So he said solemnly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I know what to do and what not to do. I will guard the faith and bottom line in my heart with all my heart. I will never follow the crowd, and I will not let any dirty things tarnish my ideals!"
The old man has been in a high position for many years, and his ability to judge people is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people. He can feel that Xu Jianguo's words came from the heart.
So when Xu Jianguo finished speaking, the old man looked at him again with a special feeling in his eyes, as if he loved his own descendants. He smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you!"
The old man picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and continued, "Your Grandpa Su's departure from Beijing this time will probably be blocked by many people. For some reasons, I can't arrange for someone to escort him, and he has also refused the escort requests from other bases in the military region. This is why I asked your commander to arrange for you to come here. Of course, your Grandpa Su also has his own ideas. I will help you with some matters that are open to you, but the things that are hidden are up to you. In a word, be careful!"
