Chapter 268 Old Friends



When Jiang Yun arrived at the military base, he registered as a visitor as part of the equipment department's accompanying personnel.

She jumped out of the car and was thinking about who to take her to the political department when she happened to meet Bao Chengzhi, who was training new soldiers for the guard company.

Bao Chengzhi waved his hands to let the soldiers go back to the drill ground to continue training. He ran over, his eyes wide open: "Xiaojun? Why are you here? Does Xiangdong know you're coming?"

Jiang Jun didn't expect that the first person he met would be Captain Bao. He slapped his head and said, "Oh my god, I didn't even think to call!"

It was all Chen Yuanwu's fault. He took her to see the commander before leaving, which made her so nervous that she even forgot such an important thing!

Bao Chengzhi smiled and said, "She's finished her night shift and is resting in the dormitory. Can I go get her out for you?"

Jiang Jun shook his head. "Captain Bao, I'd like to trouble you to take me to the Political Department to run some errands. Then you can go find Xiangdong. We can go directly to the cafeteria and meet there."

He Xiangdong's job is still in the clerical department, which is still the most confidential department within the company. Meeting with outsiders requires registration. This is the confidentiality system of the military base and everyone must comply with it.

Bao Chengzhi was particularly enthusiastic and agreed without asking why: "Let's go, hurry over, they're going to get off work soon."

Chen Yuanwu saw something was wrong and thought it would be against the rules to say less. He quickly took out the letter of introduction he had brought and greeted Bao Chengzhi: "Captain Bao, long time no see! This is Jiang Yun's letter of introduction!"

Although we are all acquaintances, we must abide by the rules and regulations at all times.

Bao Chengzhi took the letter of introduction and looked at it, and was even more surprised. He remembered that Jiang Jun and He Xiangdong were the same age. How come after not seeing each other for a few years, she became the family member of Staff Officer Chen?

The letter of introduction was issued by Chen Yuanwu from the Equipment Department - it would take several days to wait for Jiang Yonghua's new work unit to issue a letter of introduction, and they couldn't afford the time, so he took the marriage application report specially approved by the commander-in-chief and directly got a letter of introduction from the Political Department of the Equipment Department - he really wanted the whole world to know that he was getting married!

Jiang Jun didn't know and followed Chen Yuanwu foolishly, confused by Bao Chengzhi's expression.

As they walked, Bao Chengzhi introduced them: "Director Li of the Political Department was newly transferred here last year. His rank is General." He pointed to the trees on both sides of the road and showed them to Jiang Jun: "These are the trees we planted the year you first arrived. Back then, each tree had a person responsible. Now they've grown so tall!"

The military base, which once looked like an ancient castle in the desert, is now shaded by trees and full of greenery.

Jiang Jun looked at the trees that seemed both familiar and unfamiliar. "You must have put in a lot of effort! Is the tree I'm supposed to maintain still there? Let me take a look."

Bao Chengzhi pointed, "See that tree in front? Xiangdong has been watering it for you. Even with the new soldiers coming, she refused to let anyone else take care of it and insisted on taking care of the two trees herself."

As they were talking, they walked under the tree.

Jiang Jun reached out and stroked the trunk of the elm tree, her eyes moist. He Xiangdong cherished the tree named after her as if it were her life.

Bao Chengzhi raised his hand and plucked a few leaves. "Smell them! They're so fragrant! Every year when this elm tree grows new leaves, Xiangdong comes here to pick the tender leaves and takes them to the cafeteria for the chef to make pancakes for her."

Chen Yuanwu teased softly, "You're so excited just by seeing something that reminds you of someone. When you two meet later, won't you hug each other and cry bitterly?"

Jiang Jun burst into laughter and burst into tears. "Xiangdong has shallow eye sockets. She will definitely cry louder than me in a while!"

At the end of the boulevard is a newly built office building with snow-white walls, which looks very modern.

Bao Chengzhi sent Chen Yuanwu and Jiang Yun to the political department's office and left.

Political Department Director Li Zhen chatted with Jiang Jun and learned that Jiang Yonghua had been rehabilitated. He mentioned Zhang Gong with emotion: "Lieutenant General Zhang has always been very sorry to lose such an important talent like you!"

Jiang Jun was very touched. "Thank you for remembering me, leaders. May I ask how Mr. Zhang is doing now?"

Director Li shook his head and sighed, "He's fallen ill! Last year, to solve a scientific research problem, he worked tirelessly, forgetting food and sleep, leading everyone on the front lines. Mission accomplished, but Engineer Zhang has also collapsed. He's currently hospitalized at Beijing General Hospital. The attending physician recommended that after his discharge, he recuperate for another six months."

Jiang Jun was also very regretful. This time she missed seeing an old acquaintance. Zhang Gong had also been very kind to her. "When I return to the capital, I will go to the General Hospital to visit Zhang Gong if I have the chance."

Director Li continued, "The comrades who came in with you are still here. They will all be transferred to the scientific research units affiliated with the military base by the end of the year."

Then, Director Li mentioned the number of this scientific research unit.

Jiang Jun was secretly surprised. The unit with this number would be the famous military-industrial enterprise in the future!

Twenty years later, with the changes in society, this military-industrial enterprise was transformed into a joint-stock company, and many arms tycoons emerged.

Oh my god! At that time, He Xiangdong was only in her thirties, and she became a rich woman overnight!

Jiang Jun complimented him, "Director Li, under your leadership, the military base will surely develop even better!"

Director Li smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang, you're quite good at talking! What a pity, such an outstanding talent doesn't belong in our base!"

Chen Yuanwu stood up and took the initiative to say goodbye: "Director Li, thank you for your support of our work. We will follow the equipment department's car back later, so we won't disturb you any further!"

Why is it that wherever he goes, there are people who want to keep his wife here?

Director Li was quite polite: "Every time you guys from the Equipment Department come here, you guys always eat in the cafeteria before leaving. You guys should go eat too. I have a meeting to attend, so I won't accompany you."

After leaving the office building, Jiang Jun couldn't help but feel happy. "Today's work went so smoothly. I thought Director Li didn't know me and had to ask him all the time, but it turns out he seems to know me. Lao Wu, do you think it's because Engineer Zhang often mentioned me to him?"

Chen Yuanwu wondered if Jiang Jun was deliberately playing dumb to amuse him. "For such a large and confidential organization, the people below don't know a lot about each other, but here at the head, they know everything about everyone!"

Jiang Yun looked at Chen Yuanwu proudly: "Look, being an official is so tiring. It's more comfortable to be an ordinary citizen!"

Chen Yuanwu laughed: "Here we go again! You have greater talent than others, so you must shoulder more responsibilities!"

Jiang Yun said, "You're taller than me, so the responsibility is all yours!"

Chen Yuanwu likes Jiang Yun's spoiled and coquettish behavior: "I will be responsible for you for the rest of my life!"

Jiang Jun continued to play tricks: "Only a lifetime?"

Chen Yuanwu solemnly promised: "As long as you are willing, there is a next life!"
