"Sister Miaomiao, I've also told you that you can just take some time off to help out. It definitely won't interfere with your studies!"
Du Chen explained to Ding Miaomiao.
"Chenchen, what are you going to ask us to do?"
Du Bin asked Du Chen, wanting to know what Du Chen asked them to do.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it when the time comes. I just want you to be mentally prepared."
Du Chen didn't say it directly. He planned to let Li Dewen's brothers go to Beijing first to take a look and then decide what to do. Maybe there are some other good projects?
"Then shall we go to the capital to recruit more people?"
Ding Miaomiao asked from the side.
"No need. Li Dewen's brothers will go to the capital to help you. Usually, they are the ones who run the business. You can go over there occasionally to take a look and understand more. If there are any problems, you two will need to solve them yourselves."
Du Chen plans to let Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao take charge. At most, he will offer some advice, but he won't get involved too much.
"Shall we just sort it out between the two of us?"
Ding Miaomiao asked Du Chen with some concern, she was afraid of messing things up.
"Sister Miaomiao, you have to believe in yourselves. Besides, I won't have the time or energy to deal with these things once I go to high school. Besides, I'm staying here, and you're staying in Beijing. We're too far away to do anything. You two have to discuss and make the decision! Whether it's good or bad depends on you!"
Du Chen deliberately told Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao all the possibilities in order to put some pressure on them, especially his brother Du Bin. Without putting some pressure on him, he would not take this matter seriously.
"Okay..."
Du Bin was a little happy, but also a little worried, and so was Ding Miaomiao. Neither of them knew if they could do this well.
Du Chen and the other two were chatting casually until Lao Ding came back, then they stopped talking about what had just happened.
"Du Bin and Du Chen, Lao Du and the others haven't come back yet?"
After entering the eyewear store, Lao Ding looked around and didn't see Comrade Lao Du, so he asked Du Bin and Du Chen.
"Uncle Ding, not yet. I don't know when he will be back."
Du Bin looked at his watch. It was already past half past six.
"Then wait a little longer. I'll go to the restaurant across the street and book a table. We can eat there tonight so we don't have to cook."
After saying that, Lao Ding turned and walked towards the restaurant across the street. As a result, just after crossing the road, he saw Comrade Lao Du's car driving towards the store.
"Lao Du, Lao Geng!"
Lao Ding shouted to Comrade Lao Du and Geng Xinbo at the car.
Comrade Lao Du honked the horn, turned the steering wheel, and stopped the car in front of the eyewear store. Lao Ding turned around and walked back.
"How was it? Did the journey go smoothly?"
While helping several people with their luggage, Lao Ding asked Comrade Lao Du. Du Bin and others in the store heard the noise and came out.
"It went smoothly! My back hurts from driving though!"
Comrade Lao Du was in a good mood, with a smile on his face. One reason was that the trip went smoothly and he met many comrades whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The other reason was that he was back home and was in a particularly good mood.
Everyone unloaded their luggage into the eyewear store. Du Chen had already gone to the clothing store nearby to call Jia Xiaomin. She was tired from the journey and just came back for dinner.
After a while, everyone was seated in the restaurant's private room, chatting about their own things.
Ding Miaomiao and Geng Xiaolu were chatting about the delicious food and fun things in Changchun, Du Bin also joined in the fun, Ren Surong and several other girls were also talking about what they had seen and heard in the past few days, and were distributing small gifts there.
Du Chen pricked up his ears and listened to the conversation between Comrade Lao Du and several other men.
"Old Geng, did everything go smoothly over there this time?"
Old Ding asked Geng Xinbo curiously. He knew that his old comrade was secondary and the main concern was the children.
"It went smoothly! Now you can still apply to military academies while in the army, and the scores are lower than those for the national college entrance exam. My wife and I have already decided that if our child can get into university in the next college entrance exam, we will let him go to university. If not, he can join the army and then go to military academy from the army!"
Geng Xinbo was also very happy. He originally wanted to come out for some fun, but he unexpectedly solved his own problem inadvertently. He felt that this trip was worth it.
"That's pretty good, but you'll have to endure some hardships when you get to the army!"
Old Ding said to Geng Xinbo with a smile, he was also happy for Geng Xinbo.
"Why not endure the hardship? It's her fault for not wanting to learn."
Geng Xinbo smiled bitterly. His daughter was quite obedient. She didn't study very hard, but she did put in some effort. However, her grades were just mediocre, and it was frustrating.
"But military school is good too. Many of the majors in military schools are good. I'll think about it carefully when the time comes and decide what major to let my child study!"
Comrade Lao Du gave Geng Xinbo some advice.
"What other majors are there in the military academy?"
Geng Xinbo asked Comrade Lao Du in surprise.
"Dad, Uncle Geng, I want to ask, are there designated schools for military academy entrance exams in the army, or can anyone apply to any military academy?"
At this time, Du Chen asked the two of them. He had been listening on the side and was now a little curious about how the troops took the military academy entrance exam, so he asked them directly.
"It's similar to the college entrance exam. You first sign up for the exam in the army, and then you're admitted based on your scores. Of course, there are also recommendations from leaders, but you can't choose the school yourself."
Comrade Lao Du explained the difference to Du Chen. Most people were recommended to attend military academies, and very few took the exam on their own. Because even if they had good academic performance, few people were willing to join the army.
"Chenchen, do you have any opinions?"
