After Gu Chuanming finished speaking, he gave a cold laugh and tried to leave.
"Old Gu, sit down." Zhou Shixiong was unusually serious. The two had known each other since childhood and had been together for over seventy years, so Gu Chuanming naturally understood what he meant. He turned back and sat down.
"You two chat, my son and I are going out."
"Xingguo, Hongmei, please sit down."
“Uncle, this is not appropriate. I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to listen to. Brother Zhang doesn’t allow me to get involved in politics.”
"It's nothing, it's not political, I just want to sit down and listen."
"Tell me about Manshan, shall we?"
"Sir, why do you want me to step down? I have no health problems, I haven't made any mistakes, and the Southeast Military Region has always been under my command."
"Hmph! What a big mouth! My grandfather never said anything about where it was in his hands." Zhang Hongmei decided she wouldn't give him any face today. How dare he look down on Zhang Shouyi now?
Xiao Manshan ignored what Zhang Hongmei was saying and just stared stubbornly at Zhou Shixiong.
"Manshan, I understand what you mean, but this is an order from above. What's your stance?"
"Boss, I need to know why?"
"Okay, go to the military headquarters in the capital and ask them what's going on."
Gu Chuanming didn't say a word; he just kept his head down.
Zhang Hongmei knew she couldn't let the two of them say anything now; she could express her dissatisfaction if she wanted to.
"Sigh! If you can disobey orders now, will you continue to do so when orders are given in the future?"
"Hongmei!" Zhou Shixiong called out to her helplessly. This girl would never have been like this before. Xiao Manshan had really touched her sore spot. This was the first time she had ever seen her so sharp.
"Uncle, what's wrong? Am I wrong?"
Although I don't understand politics or military affairs, I know that I must obey orders unconditionally.
Grandpa, if my bodyguard asks me why, I'll make her leave immediately.
"Hongmei, that's enough. Since he did the work, let him go find Shouyi." Gu Chuanming's words only added fuel to the fire.
"Hmph, my Brother Zhang carefully calculates his rest time every day, and now he's going to be in charge of this?"
“It’s what he should do.” Gu Chuanming glared at the girl.
"Okay, I understand. I've already said I won't listen. You've made me listen, but you're not letting me speak? Fine, I'll just leave."
Zhang Hongmei fully expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Madam, wait a minute! Why are you treating me like this? I haven't offended you, have I?" Xiao Manshan was furious and acting recklessly.
“You don’t know? Your filthy thoughts disgust me. This doesn’t count as offending me, Uncle. Now it’s your turn to vent your anger for me.” Zhang Hongmei stared at Zhou Shixiong and said.
"Xiao Manshan, watch your attitude. I wouldn't even say a word to her."
Xiao Manshan felt really wronged. He hadn't said anything, had he?
“Grandpa, if we let the military personnel go back together, what if something goes wrong and they blame it on Brother Zhang, saying he doesn’t respect his seniors?”
Gu Chuanming laughed. This girl really has a sharp tongue.
Zhang Hongmei left the living room, and Lu Jing, Gan Lu, Liu Xu, and Dong Zhiling followed her out.
I really feel disgusted here. Zhang Hongmei wandered over to Er Ya and the others' place, wanting to stay there for a while.
"Hongmei, what brings you here at this hour?"
"It's nothing, there's just something going on over there. What are you doing?"
"It's nothing, we were just chatting. Should we drive to Er Lengzi's place?"
"Yes, send them some dry goods under the name of a service company, so they can have a change of pace."
"Then can I bring more things?"
"Okay, you should prepare as soon as possible, go home and let Ganlu take charge, and set up a logistics company."
"What is a logistics company?" Er Ya asked, very curious.
"It's about organizing a convoy. Traveling all over the country to get goods moving. Lu Jing, go to the car company and order a hundred trucks in a bit."
"yes."
"Tell them to deliver the goods in three months. Delivery can be done in batches. As for the drivers, select them from retired soldiers. They will mainly be located in several major cities."
"Understood."
“Ganlu will go along.”
The two people left. The group then resumed their casual conversation.
Just then, they heard a girl crying. Zhang Hongmei frowned. Dong Zhiling went out and came back in a moment later.
"Madam, it's the young lady from the Xiao family who came crying to Jinsong."
"Oh? How did they meet?"
Er Ya was surprised. "We ran into her yesterday afternoon. This little girl was quite curious about Jin Song, and the two of them played together for a while."
"Okay. Sister Erya, I've decided to send Jinsong back to his hometown."
"Red Plum?"
Zhang Hongmei waved her hand. "Don't say anything more. I'm not going out. Let's see how Jinsong performs. I hope he won't let me down. This is the last chance."
The room was quiet. After a while, Jinsong came in with Xiao Jiena.
“Auntie.” Jinsong came in and saw Zhang Hongmei sitting there.
Er Ya was really worried. What was wrong with this child?
Zhang Hongmei stared blankly at the crying little girl behind Jinsong, but in her heart she was cursing herself. How interesting, this was only eight years old.
Liu Jingsong was startled when he saw Zhang Hongmei's expression, but hearing the little girl crying behind him, he felt he should help her. In the end, he reluctantly spoke up.
"Auntie, could you please ask Uncle to stop making things difficult for Jie Na's grandfather? Could you please not make Jie Na's grandfather retire?"
Er Ya closed her eyes after hearing Liu Jingsong's words and leaned back in her chair.
"oh?"
"Auntie, Jenna's grandfather is really a good person."
"Jingsong, who am I? Who is your uncle?"
"aunt?"
"Liu Jingsong, who are you? When have you ever seen me involved in your uncle's affairs?"
Okay, you never seem to know your place. Go back to your hometown, and I'll pretend I never raised you. Our time together ends here.
Liu Jingsong and Xiao Jiena were both startled, especially Liu Jingsong, who was thirteen years old and understood everything. His aunt meant she didn't want him anymore. It had really come to this. He had really guessed it.
He hung his head, filled with sadness and disappointment, but even more so with resentment. There was no reflection whatsoever.
Zhang Hongmei was even more disappointed. "Liu Xu, go and get someone from my father's office to take Liu Jingsong home, pack up all his things, and send him back to his hometown."
"Yes, madam."
"Now, disappear from my sight immediately. I'm so disappointed."
Liu Jinsong stood there with his head down, not moving, but he neither begged for mercy nor apologized.
The little girl ran away with the brick in her hand, her face full of terror.
No one in the room spoke.
