The midnight sky was silent and peaceful. On a quiet road, the orange lights stretched the figures of the man and woman. As the temperature rises, even the night wind blowing in your face no longer seems so biting. Instead, there was a gentle warmth. Like a lover's catkin, soft and comfortable.
In accordance with the international convention of keeping men on the left and women on the right, Xiao Zheng was walking along the curb, taking out a weak electronic cigarette from time to time and taking a few puffs to soothe his addiction to smoking that was slowly fading. Still smoking is actually largely due to habit, rather than a strong dependence on cigarettes.
"Thank you."
Jiang Qing, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and said with emotion.
She was indeed very grateful to Xiao Zheng. If it weren't for Xiao Zheng's generous action, the Dragon Group might really have to be reorganized. And the confused soldiers under her command would probably return to their places of origin and return to their original troops. Or just change careers and start a new life.
Looking forward to a new life is not a bad thing. But that’s only for people who are tired of the present. Like this group of dragon warriors, they have worked hard to get here, sharpening their swords just to serve the country, but they are suddenly disbanded. Who can bear it
Jiang Qing was the first to feel despair.
For her, the funds needed by the Dragon Group are definitely a huge amount of money. And the courage required to support the Dragon Group is definitely not something ordinary businessmen can possess. Of course, providing funds indefinitely is like a big mountain, weighing heavily on Xiao Zheng's head.
"I am also a soldier." Xiao Zheng took a puff of his e-cigarette, his eyes were dull, but filled with an inexplicable perseverance. "At least it used to be."
"So are you now." Jiang Qing knew Xiao Zheng's past and said softly with relief. "He is still the first instructor of the Dragon Group."
"Instructor?" A wry smile appeared on Xiao Zheng's lips, and he shook his head slightly. "Teaching whom? Teach you?"
How could he not know that the so-called honorary instructor, the so-called first instructor of the Dragon Group, is nothing more than an empty title. Not to mention General Qi who personally appointed him, even Jiang Qing has never felt that an instructor has any value.
Of course, Xiao Zheng is not a narrow-minded person, and he is not secretly sad because of such an innocuous thing. He knew that the main purpose of General Qi's inclusion of him into the Dragon Group was not to use his actual combat ability, but to protect him in the name of the Dragon Group. So as not to encounter troublesome accidents like Yan Shang again. Now that he has a murder certificate and a dragon group token, ordinary people naturally don't dare to cause trouble for no reason and challenge his bottom line.
As for why General Qi only gave him an empty title instead of giving him real power. To put it bluntly, General Qi doesn't have this ability!
You know, Xiao Zheng has offended military figures more than once. With his seniority and sensitive status, how could General Qi dare to offend public anger and give him real power? Wouldn’t that be a source of frustration
Jiang Qing's face changed slightly, and she murmured at the corner of her lips for a while, and finally sighed: "Actually, many things are beyond our control. Even General Qi is under control in every aspect. Otherwise, there would be no such reorganization. Turmoil. I hope you understand—"
Xiao Zheng had suffered an unfair injustice. Wasn't she, Jiang Qing, deceived by General Qi? At first, she was equally chilled, heartbroken, and incomprehensible. But as she experienced painful experiences again and again and grew up year after year, she gradually understood a truth.
"There are always eight or nine unsatisfactory moments in life." Jiang Qing said with regret.
Xiao Zheng tilted his head slightly and glanced meaningfully at Jiang Qing who said such profound words. A subtle smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "You have changed."
"Huh?" Jiang Qing raised his eyes slightly, and a look of confusion flashed across his beautiful face with a hint of heroism. "How have I changed?"
"When I first saw you, you were so heroic and unassuming. In addition to the huge self-confidence in your eyes, there was more arrogance." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "But now, you seem to have less edge. More compromise."
Jiang Qing whispered: "When a person cannot change the world and still wants to survive, he can only adapt to the world. This is what General Qi taught me."
"General Qi is right." Xiao Zheng took a puff of his e-cigarette and said with a smile. "How can there be so many gods and men in this world who are fearless and capable of defying everything? In the end, everyone is constantly changing themselves in order to better adapt to this world and fulfill their wishes."
"What is your wish?" Jiang Qing raised her eyes slightly and stared at Xiao Zheng's profile.
She never thought that Xiao Zheng would say such meaningful words. For a long time, she only thought that Xiao Zheng was an uneducated, uninformed, and even rude man. But through tonight's conversation, she found that she still had too many prejudices. And Xiao Zheng is not as superficial as he thought.
At the very least, he can adapt to this world better than himself. Otherwise, he and General Qi would not wait eagerly for his rescue.
"World peace." Xiao Zheng raised his head slightly and said seriously.
Jiang Qing's face changed slightly, and she pursed her lips and said, "I thought you were going to say that you would make endless money and pick up countless girls."
"Am I such a superficial man?" Xiao Zheng pointed to his nose. "Besides. My brother Azheng never takes the initiative to pick up girls. He always waits for girls to pick up me."
Jiang Qing tightened his collar and said expressionlessly: "Fortunately, you still have some money."
"A little money?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows. "Is there a man as rich as me around you? My annual income is 300 million. It's more than enough to call me a working emperor."
Jiang Qing did not respond to Xiao Zheng's extremely shameless words. Just keep moving forward.
Not long after, the two arrived at the gate of Central Washington.
"We're here." Jiang Qing stopped.
This was her suggestion to send Xiao Zheng home.
When he was still three kilometers away from the community, Xiao Zheng suggested getting off the car and taking a walk. It's time to relax.
But how long can three kilometers be? What's more, two people with such strong foot power
"Would you like to come in and sit down?" Xiao Zheng invited. "My coffee is pretty good."
Jiang Qing raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Xiao Zheng meaningfully: "I don't like drinking coffee."
Xiao Zheng's smile was a little subtle, but he didn't force it anymore.
Jiang Qing did not discuss this meaningless issue with him again. He said calmly: "Good night."
After that, he turned around and left.
She didn't dare to enter this door, and she couldn't enter it.
And she couldn't afford to offend the woman in this door, let alone offend her.
In her heart, nothing can compare with the dragon group. Including men.
So she won't put the Dragon Group in jail for a man.
Of course, it is not difficult to tell from Xiao Zheng's eyes that his invitation is just polite. Even if he is disrespectful, he may find a reasonable or unreasonable excuse to shirk it.
If that's the case, why bother humiliating yourself
Chapter 5 breaks out tonight~
