Xu Jianguo nodded to Chen Jin, opened the door and walked in. As soon as he entered the room, he saw the familiar figure sitting on the sofa and looking at him with a smile.
"Grandpa Zhou!" Xu Jianguo walked over quickly and shouted.
"Coming?"
"Um!"
"Sit down and talk!"
"good!"
Xu Jianguo walked to the single sofa next to the old man and sat down, his body straight.
"Is it a shame to disturb your rest by calling you here so late?"
"No, it's nothing. As long as you call me, I'll come no matter how late it is!"
“Haha, good!”
"Grandpa Zhou, you called me here today to treat that man, right?" Xu Jianguo said straight to the point.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" The old man asked with a playful smile on his face.
"Because my actions seem to go against your wishes, so... please criticize me!"
After saying that, Xu Jianguo lowered his head, waiting for the storm to come. However, after waiting for a long time, the old man didn't speak, so he raised his head and looked at the old man, and found that he was looking at him with a smile on his face.
Looking at Mr. Zhou's wise eyes, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After a moment, the old man slowly said, "Boy, can you tell me why you did this?"
"I don't want to cause trouble for myself and my family!"
"Honestly?"
"Yeah, the truth!"
After listening to this, Mr. Zhou still had a smile on his face, but he raised his hand and nodded at Xu Jianguo a few times, then said, "You are not honest, kid! Can't you even tell me the truth?"
Xu Jianguo did not answer his question, but sat aside with his head down and remained silent.
The old man didn't care and continued, "Boy, since you don't want to tell me the truth, I won't force you. But I asked you to come here tonight just to chat with you and tell you what's in my heart. Do you want to listen?"
"I think, as long as you are willing to talk, I am willing to listen!" Xu Jianguo nodded and said.
"Okay! Then tonight, we, grandpa and grandson, will have a good chat. Did you bring cigarettes?"
Hearing this, Xu Jianguo quickly took out a box of Panda cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for the old man, and then, at his instruction, lit one for himself.
The old man didn't care why Xu Jianguo had Panda cigarettes. After exhaling a puff of smoke, he slowly said, "Boy, I know you're not an ordinary person. Before I went to the Binhai base, all your information was already on my desk. It was because of your information that Mr. Da and I decided to go to Binhai in person to see you with our own eyes!"
Xu Jianguo's pupils shrank slightly, but he did not speak. Instead, he continued to listen attentively.
"After meeting you, I had a brief exchange with Mr. Da on the train. Do you want to know what we both think of you?" After saying this, Mr. Zhou took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Xu Jianguo.
Xu Jianguo nodded and said, "I do!"
"You have a calm personality and outstanding abilities. Although you have a secret, you are deeply patriotic. Once you are fully observed, you will be of great use! This is Mr. Da's evaluation of you!"
After listening to this, Xu Jianguo couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, and then he looked at the old man with some anticipation, waiting for him to continue.
"And my evaluation of you is that, although you keep it a secret, you are truly loyal and worthy of being entrusted with important tasks!"
Hearing this, Xu Jianguo's eyes turned slightly red, and he suddenly felt that everything he had done before was worth it.
At this moment, he even really wanted to express his inner thoughts to the kind and amiable old man in front of him.
But reason told him that he couldn't do that. After all, some secrets were better known only to himself.
Seeing Xu Jianguo calm down so quickly, Old Man Zhou nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Boy, you're very good, really very good! In fact, I called you here today not to criticize you, but it was a temporary decision made after Mr. Da and I discussed it. In addition to wanting to ask your true thoughts, the most important thing is to let you know that our previous evaluation of you is still valid. As long as you believe that everything you are doing now is the right thing for the benefit of the country and the people, then go ahead and do it. We old guys will be your solid backing!"
"Grandpa Zhou, are you telling the truth? Are you not lying?" Xu Jianguo, who had originally calmed down, became excited again and asked in a trembling voice.
"Well, it's true. We old guys wouldn't cheat on a little guy like you!"
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhou, and thank you, Mr. Da and the other leaders, for your trust in me!"
Mr. Zhou waved his hand nonchalantly and continued, "Since you've made your decision, do your best to carry it out. As for the safety of you and your family, don't worry."
"Well, with you and Mr. Big here, I'm not worried at all!"
"Oh, there's one more thing I think you need to know. Today... no, I should say yesterday, the people that woman sent to the Davari base have been secretly dealt with. So you just need to follow your own ideas and plans and do what's next."
When Xu Jianguo heard this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his pupils. He really didn't expect that the woman would act so quickly, but if he was worried, it was actually not a big deal. After all, it was not that easy to deal with his family.
Not to mention the skills of Wen Sitian and the three girls, just the security forces of the Dawali base, as well as Du Yu and Xiao Hei at home, it would be impossible for ordinary people to get close to the yard.
"Okay, Grandpa Zhou, I understand!"
"I'm sure you've guessed it. The security forces in that courtyard were all sent by me. You can trust them absolutely. If you encounter any trouble later, you can ask them to contact Chen Jin directly."
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Zhou!"
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back quickly. I can't stand staying up late with my old bones!"
After finishing the business, both grandfather and grandson felt a lot more relaxed. Seeing that the old man had ordered them to leave, Xu Jianguo stood up and said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhou, I see you this time. You are in much better condition than before!"
"That's right. You told me not to stay up late, and with the spring water and medicinal wine you gave me, I feel better day by day!" said Mr. Zhao with a smile.
"Hehe, then I'm relieved. You should rest early. I'll leave first!"
"Okay, go back. Remember what I told you. We have your back. Don't be timid when dealing with some people or things!"
"I understand!" Xu Jianguo nodded in agreement, then turned and left.
Looking at his back which was more upright than when he came, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but smile.
