Chen Jin pushed the door open and walked in, followed closely by Xu Jianguo.
There were three people in the office at this time. In addition to the old man, there was an old man who was about the same age as the old man, and a middle-aged man who looked a little younger.
Both of them were wearing Zhongshan suits. The old man had a kind face, and the middle-aged man was intimidating without being angry.
After hearing the voice, the three of them turned around and their eyes all stopped on Xu Jianguo.
Seeing this, Xu Jianguo didn't care. After closing the door, he came to the old man, stood at attention, raised his hand and saluted, and said, "Hello, Chief!"
"Are you here? Sit here!" The old man said to Xu Jianguo with a smile.
Xu Jianguo grinned and sat down next to the old man.
This scene made the other two people's eyes shine involuntarily. They had heard people mention Xu Jianguo's name before. One of them was even involved in the work of encrypting his and his family's identity information. They also knew that this young man was highly regarded by the young master. They thought it was just a rumor, but they didn't expect it to be true. They couldn't help but become more curious about the youngest colonel officer in the entire army.
After Chen Jin left the office, Mr. Zhou spoke to Xu Jianguo and said, “Jianguo, let me introduce you. This is your grandfather Shen (fictitious), and he is the one who led the delegation to visit North Korea this time.”
When Xu Jianguo heard this, he immediately stood up, stood at attention and saluted, “Hello, Grandpa Shen!”
The old man surnamed Shen smiled kindly and said, "Jianguo, I've heard about you a long time ago and have always wanted to meet you, but I didn't expect that before I even met you, you saved my life!"
"Grandpa Shen, don't dare say that. All of this is my job, and it's what I should do!" Xu Jianguo said.
"Well, you're neither arrogant nor impatient. You're truly an outstanding young man! I, this old man, owe you my life. If you have any problems in the future, you can always come to me!"
“Grandpa Shen, you are too kind. I will definitely visit you later!”
"Okay, okay, okay! Then I'll be waiting for you, kid!"
"Um!"
Old Master Zhou looked at the old man and the young man with a smile on his face, his face full of pride. After they finished speaking, he continued, "Jianguo, this is the Minister of State Security, Wei Guoqiang!"
"Hello, Minister Wei!" Xu Jianguo saluted.
"Hello, Comrade Xu Jianguo, I've long heard of you!" Wei Guoqiang stood up and said with a smile.
At this time, Mr. Zhou continued on the side: "Jianguo, in fact, the person who asked you to come here today was not me, but your Grandpa Shen and Minister Wei. First, I want to thank you for the special service equipment you designed and developed before, which saved many lives; second, you, Grandpa Wei, want to ask you if you can upgrade the equipment of their security department as well."
After hearing this, Xu Jianguo finally understood why the old man had called him here today.
On the surface, it seemed that the old man was asking for his opinion, but since he had already called him over, it was impossible for him to refuse. So Xu Jianguo nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. This is my job!"
"Haha, I knew you would agree. I don't know what your plans are for next year, but try to put the upgrade of the Security Bureau's equipment in the forefront. It's not easy for our national security guards. Although the country has been founded for nearly 20 years, there are still a large number of enemy spies hiding among the people. Every year, many people on the National Security side sacrifice their lives while capturing enemy spies. Ultimately, it's because of the backward equipment." Old Man Zhou said.
"Yes, please rest assured, I will definitely give it priority!"
"Okay! You can discuss the specifics with Minister Wei later!"
"clear!"
"Okay, if you don't have anything else, go back and get busy. By the way, if you have any troubles, you can always call me!"
"yes!"
Xu Jianguo stood up and saluted the three of them, then prepared to leave. However, he didn't expect that Wei Guoqiang would say something to Mr. Zhou and then follow him out.
"Minister Wei, do you have something else to talk to me about?" Xu Jianguo asked in confusion.
"Why call me Minister Wei? From now on, just call me Uncle Wei!" Wei Guoqiang said dissatisfiedly.
Xu Jianguo curled his lips and thought to himself that he didn't have much in other aspects, but he was a big boss!
"Okay, Uncle Wei!" Xu Jianguo shouted with a smile.
When Wei Guoqiang heard this, his serious expression softened and he said, "Are you free tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Okay, come over to my place tomorrow morning and we'll discuss equipment upgrades!"
Xu Jianguo thought about it and decided it was a good idea. He would have a day off anyway, and if he had nothing else to do after going to Guoan, he could leave work early to pick up his wife. So he smiled and said, "Okay, then what time would be a good time for me to go there tomorrow?"
"Come over at 8:30. I'll have someone pick you up downstairs. Do you know where the Security Department is?"
"I really don't know about this, I've never been there!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Guoqiang told Xu Jianguo the location of the Ministry of State Security. After the two chatted for a few more words, he turned around and returned to the old man's office.
Xu Jianguo found Chen Jin, said hello to him, then left the red-walled west hall and drove back to the institute.
Originally, Xu Jianguo wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to ask the old man about drones and his own car manufacturing when he went to the West Hall, but because there were other people present, he didn't say much and prepared to wait to call and ask.
…
The day passed in a flash. Hearing the bell ringing outside, Xu Jianguo walked out of the office with his bag on his back.
Li Delong and others were surprised to see Xu Jianguo leaving get off work on time, because in their impression, the number of times their young chief engineer left work on time could be counted on one hand.
Xu Jianguo looked at the expressions of several people without giving any further explanation. After saying hello, he left first.
By the time he drove to the Commerce Bureau, most people there had already gone off work.
After parking the car, he walked straight into the office building and came to the office of the Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Department.
After knocking on the door, he heard his wife's voice from inside. Xu Jianguo raised the corner of his mouth, pushed open the door and walked in.
