People from the countryside just don't know the rules! They don't even know to invite themselves in and sit down!
Xiao Jin's eyes fell on Zhou Zhixin for a while, and then on the small building behind Zhou Zhixin, his eyes sparkling.
Zhou Zhixin was looked up and down by Secretary Jin, feeling a little confused.
Is Secretary Jin mentally ill? He's running to my own doorstep early in the morning to disturb my sleep, just to get a few more glances at me. And this house is the same structure as Zhu Xiangyang's. Didn't Xiao Jin see enough at Zhu Xiangyang's house that she came here to see it again?
Zhou Zhixin muttered to himself, but his face didn't show any impatience. He kept in mind General Zhou's teachings: the higher the position, the more you should observe and talk less. No matter what happens, getting angry is the worst option. The most important thing is to observe and think more.
Because of this, Zhou Zhixin calmly allowed Secretary Jin to examine him without getting angry.
"Major General Zhou, this house you live in is the one allocated to General Zhou by the organization, right?" Secretary Jin looked at it for half a minute before asking.
"Yeah!" Zhou Zhixin nodded, feeling a little puzzled.
General Zhou has lived in this house for over twenty years. This isn't Secretary Jin's first visit to the compound. Zhu Xiangyang's chief secretary is a frequent visitor to the compound, so surely she doesn't even know who lives in this house?
Or is it that Secretary Kim's brain is a little bit not working well?
After hearing Zhou Zhixin's answer, Secretary Jin was very excited. Great, Zhou Zhixin had fallen into the trap. Then, he could give Zhou Zhixin a huge blow.
"Major General Zhou, you live in a house that does not belong to you. What do you think? Or have you regarded everything that General Zhou left behind: money, power, status, houses and connections, as your own?" Secretary Jin stared at Zhou Zhixin without blinking and asked like a reporter.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" This time, Zhou Zhixin couldn't help but get angry.
I really don’t know where Zhu Xiangyang found such a mentally ill secretary, but Zhou Zhixin admitted that he was successfully annoyed by Secretary Jin.
General Zhou only has one grandson, Zhou Zhixin. If there's any inheritance, shouldn't it be left to Zhou Zhixin? Power, status, a house that doesn't belong to the family, connections? Could any of that be considered General Zhou's legacy? What nonsense is Secretary Jin saying? Zhou Zhixin didn't become the commander-in-chief simply by relying on General Zhou's favor. Do you think all his military achievements over the years were just for show?
Zhou Zhixin didn't know that in Secretary Jin's heart, he really believed that Zhou Zhixin became a major general because of General Zhou.
After General Zhou's death, Secretary Jin felt that Zhou Zhixin's family was like fish on a chopping board.
Secretary Jin came today to vent Zhu Xiangyang's anger.
Secretary Jin was transferred to Zhu Xiangyang's office two years ago. She was quite capable at work, and most importantly, she was very good at understanding her boss's intentions.
Soon after Secretary Jin came to Zhu Xiangyang, he discovered that there was a disagreement between Zhu Xiangyang and General Zhou.
Secretary Jin made many inquiries. Hey! So the Zhou and Zhu families have a feud? Did General Zhou block Zhu Xiangyang's path to promotion?
Isn't that right? As soon as General Zhou left, Secretary Jin planned to give Zhou Zhixin a hard time to improve his impression of Zhu Xiangyang. A secretary who can't share the boss's worries is not a good secretary.
Secretary Jin thought about it for most of the night and finally came up with a good idea that would make the Zhou family angry but also leave them helpless against him.
"Hehehe... Major General Zhou, bitter medicine tastes good but cures the disease, and honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears but is beneficial to action. I, Jin Chenggong, know that I am meddling in other people's affairs, but I am doing this for your own good! As the grandson of General Zhou, I hope you will not disgrace General Zhou's reputation." Secretary Jin said, putting on a righteous look, which made Zhou Zhixin frown.
"Secretary Jin, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't talk nonsense. If you have nothing to do, please leave. Don't be so unreasonable next time. Coming here so early in the morning to disturb people's sleep is not something a normal person would do." After knowing that Secretary Jin had bad intentions, Zhou Zhixin frowned.
Zhu Xiangyang’s secretary? Hahaha… Even if Zhu Xiangyang did something so outrageous, Zhou Zhixin would still dare to confront him in person without any negotiation.
"Major General Zhou, I didn't want to come at this time. But I have no choice. Working with Minister Zhu, I am very busy all day long. At this time, I came to the compound to wait for Minister Zhu to get up, so I have some free time." Secretary Jin gave a reason that made Zhou Zhixin dumbfounded.
Zhou Zhixin felt a little itchy on his feet. Just when he hadn't made up his mind whether to kick this annoying person out, Zhou Jiasheng's voice rang out.
"Dad, who's here?"
Zhou Jiasheng looked unhappy after being woken up early in the morning.
When Zhou Jiasheng ran to the roof and saw a strange face standing outside the door, he was so angry that he almost wanted to ask his bodyguard to take action and throw the person away.
Seeing that Zhou Zhixin was chatting with the visitor, Zhou Jiasheng went downstairs to see what was going on.
After the last "kidnapping incident", Zhou Jiasheng's bodyguards were replaced by a group of stronger ones.
However, Zhou Jiasheng was not one to show off. The military compound was very well-guarded, and after Zhou Jiasheng returned home, he never allowed his bodyguards to appear in public.
Otherwise, Zhou Zhixin wouldn't have to go downstairs and open the door himself.
Seeing Zhou Jiasheng come out, Zhou Zhixin said nothing, just waved his hand at him. He was just a clown, and Zhou Zhixin felt that he could handle it, and there was no need to make Zhou Jiasheng angry.
Zhou Jiasheng saw that Zhou Zhixin's gesture was telling him to ignore it, so he turned around and went back into the house.
After being interrupted by Zhou Jiasheng, Zhou Zhixin's kick was not carried out.
Secretary Jin smiled smugly, seeing Zhou Zhixin's furious yet helpless expression. He'd guessed right: Zhou Zhixin wasn't confident enough to confront Zhu Xiangyang. He also didn't dare to do anything to Zhu Xiangyang's secretary.
"Major General Zhou, I'm here to kindly remind you. According to the rules and regulations, after General Zhou's death, Major General Zhou should voluntarily hand over this small building."
Zhou Zhixin was furious when he saw Secretary Jin's smug look on his face.
Although the saying "when a person leaves, the tea gets cold" is a common feature of Chinese officialdom, it's only been less than a week since General Zhou passed away, and Secretary Jin has come to ask Zhou Zhixin and his family to move. Isn't this a bit too quick for the tea to cool down?
Or...was Secretary Jin's actions instigated by Zhu Xiangyang? Did Zhu Xiangyang think that his family would stay in this small building forever?
Zhou Zhixin couldn't help but have some conspiracy theories.
"Secretary Jin, is this your idea or Minister Zhu's?" Zhou Zhixin asked seriously.
