Chen Yuanwu put Jiang Yun's luggage into the trunk of the jeep, asked Jiang Yun to sit in the back seat, carefully closed the car door, turned around and sat in the driver's seat himself.
Jiang Jun was surprised: "You didn't bring a driver?"
In the army, special cars are driven by special people. Strictly speaking, letting someone other than the driver drive a car is considered a violation of discipline.
Chen Yuanwu explained softly, "This is our department's car. I drive it myself unless we're on a mission or working at the military headquarters. I'll take you back to the Equipment Department first. Our commander wants to see you."
Jiang Yun was confused: "I need your permission to take your car to the grassland?"
When did the procedures become so strict? She wasn't a big shot, so wasn't a consultant's guarantee enough?
Chen Yuanwu didn't rush to light the fire. Instead, he looked back at Jiang Yun and smiled gently: "I told the commander this morning that I wanted to file a marriage registration in advance. Since you are not yet old enough, I need special approval, so the commander wants to see you in person."
"Submit a marriage report?" Jiang Jun was completely stunned: "You haven't met my dad yet, and my dad hasn't agreed yet!"
Chen Yuanwu looked at Jiang Yun steadily: "If you agree, Uncle Jiang will agree too!"
Jiang Jun wanted to open the car door and get out: "No, it's too fast. I won't go to see you."
In her original time and space, there was a famous saying. What was it?
Marriage is the grave of love!
No, no, she hasn't even tasted love yet, but she's jumping into a grave right away, giving birth to children, doing housework, and having no time for herself. She has time to study but no time to go out and travel. She just stays at home and becomes like Zhang Xiuying. No, no, this is too terrible!
Chen Yuanwu quickly reached over and grabbed Jiang Yun's wrist, whispering, "Xiaojun! We're not getting married right away. We just want to let the Master take a look. If we want to get married, we have to wait until I return from the south. It will take at least three to five years."
He had anticipated that Jiang Jun's reaction would be different from others, so he was not surprised. Instead, he temporarily changed his strategy. Instead of saying that he was going to get married now, he deliberately extended the time by three to five years.
Jiang Yun's expression softened considerably. "Since there are still several years to go, why are you writing a report now?"
Chen Yuanwu sighed secretly. Other families' wives were eager to get married and join the army, but his wife wanted to run away: "Transportation is not convenient in the south. It takes several days and nights to go by train. It takes half a month to write a letter back to the capital."
Jiang Jun was bewildered: "Can't I call?"
Chen Yuanwu said awkwardly, "All calls in the army are transferred through the switchboard. Someone will hear whatever we say. You want me to apply for marriage over the phone?"
Jiang Jun was speechless, leaning back in his chair, his voice dry: "Anyway, I don't want to get married!"
Chen Yuanwu had never expected that Jiang Jun, who was always confident and intelligent, would be so frightened as a helpless little girl when hearing about marriage. After thinking for a moment, he turned to coaxing her softly, "Xiao Jun, let's not get married yet. I'm just going to file a marriage report and apply for a wedding house. When I'm not in Beijing, you'll have a place to stay. You can stay at your dad's house or go back to our own house. It's better than living in the big dormitory at the company."
This reason is very powerful, Jiang Jun was moved, it sounds very reasonable!
Chen Yuanwu continued to persuade her, "As long as we don't get married, you won't have to go to my house to take care of my parents. The advantage of getting the marriage report approved is that you'll have an extra place to live and you can do whatever you want freely."
Jiang Jun breathed a sigh of relief, his back less stiff. "You said so!"
Chen Yuanwu moved his hand down, grabbed Jiang Yun's hand, and squeezed it tightly. "I mean what I say! Can we go now? The waiters are all looking this way."
They got in the car and didn't leave for a long time. Looking out from the service desk of the guesthouse, I could clearly see Chen Yuanwu turning around and talking to the person behind him.
Jiang Jun pulled his hand back and pouted embarrassedly: "Let's go."
Chen Yuanwu let go of his hands and sat up straight. He skillfully started the engine, stepped on the accelerator and steered the jeep, and it drove away quickly.
While driving, he took the time to look at Jiang Yun in the rearview mirror. Seeing Jiang Yun biting her fingers lightly and lost in thought, he did not disturb her and let her figure out what he had just said on her own.
The motivation that prompted him to file the marriage report immediately came from Gao Lei's words to Jiang Yun, "I have a good position here."
If he guessed correctly, the so-called good position was to work in the military's political department as a foreign affairs receptionist.
As China began to establish diplomatic relations with some countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, the army's foreign affairs activities became more and more frequent. As an ace army, it also had to undertake some foreign affairs activities that could receive heads of state. Many heads of state of the newly established diplomatic countries would bring their commanders-in-chief with them on their visits.
Those foreigners are really not reserved. When they see a woman they like, they will express it directly without any reservation, saying, "I like you very much."
The craziest example is when a military art troupe went on a friendly visit abroad and was enthusiastically proposed to by a foreign head of state, who threatened to snatch her away if they didn't agree.
So he had to marry his Xiaojun home immediately, without waiting a moment.
Liu Yongzhi has always valued Chen Yuanwu and would definitely approve Chen Yuanwu's marriage report, no matter how special it was.
The commander, who occasionally gossips, also wants to meet the famous Jiang Yun. To put it bluntly, he is just curious about what kind of person Chen Yuanwu, who is not tempted by the most beautiful woman in the army, likes?
When Jiang Jun stood opposite Liu Yongzhi, she had completely calmed down - every time she met these high-level elites, she habitually concentrated her attention.
For these people, the higher their position and the greater their power, the more peaceful their attitude.
Beneath their calm appearance, they are awe-inspiring without anger, and possess the power to shake mountains and rivers.
"Hello, Chief of Staff Liu!"
"Well, Xiao Jiang, sit down, don't be shy."
"Thank you, Chief of Staff!"
Jiang Yunwei sat on the small sofa with his eyelids drooping, waiting for Liu Yongzhi to speak.
Liu Yongzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Jun. He actually had an illusion that Chen Yuanwu standing next to him was Jiang Jun's guard!
It was incredible. This aura overwhelmed Chen Yuanwu without him even saying a word.
"Staff Officer Chen is a good young man with great prospects!" It was strange why he seemed to be talking to Chen Yuanwu's elder?
Jiang Jun lowered his eyes and smiled: "Yes! Thank you, Chief of Staff, for your consideration!"
With just one simple sentence, he subtly affirmed Chen Yuanwu's talent and also affirmed Liu Yongzhi's promotion of Chen Yuanwu.
Liu Yongzhi was silent for a few seconds. "Staff Officer Chen has a long way to go. Can you support him?"
Instead of using the affirmative sentence "You must support him!", use the interrogative sentence "Can you support him?", which implies negotiation and seems democratic. If the answer is wrong, the report may not be approved.
Chen Yuanwu secretly broke into a cold sweat and looked at Jiang Yun with a little nervousness.
