As the car entered Hongrao County, more and more cars began to appear on the street.
The cousin who was driving the car asked Chen Ming: "Are you planning to buy something?"
He knew that once Chen Ming joined the army, he would be almost isolated from the world. If there was anything he wanted to buy, it would be best to do it now.
After thinking about it, Chen Ming shook his head and said, "No need, I don't need anything."
There are already enough local specialties in the suitcase, so there is really no need to buy anything else.
The cousin nodded, stepped on the accelerator, and took Chen Ming to the outside of the train station.
Just as Chen Ming was about to get off the car, Zhang Bufan stopped him, then took out a pack of cigarettes, took out a cigarette and handed it to him, and took one for himself.
Chen Ming looked at his extremely smooth movements of holding the cigarette and couldn't help but laugh: "What's the matter, are you showing off to me that you can smoke?"
The first cigarette Zhang Bufan smoked was given to him by himself. It has been less than a month and he has already given himself cigarettes.
Zhang Bufan didn't say anything. He waved the hand that was handing over the cigarette, motioning Chen Ming to take it.
Chen Ming smiled and waved his hand, refusing, and said with a smile: "I am wearing a military uniform now. It will be bad if someone sees me smoking."
Now that he is wearing service uniform in public areas, he must always maintain the exemplary image of a soldier.
Zhang Bufan shrugged and said, "I specifically looked for a secluded place where there's no one."
This is a corner of the train station. Usually not many people come here. Even if Chen Ming smokes, no one will see him.
Chen Ming said with a smile: "It smells good."
The smell of cigarettes can stay in the mouth for a long time. Chen Ming doesn't want others to smell the strong smell of tobacco when he opens his mouth.
After a pause, Chen Ming continued: "If you have anything to say to me, say it now."
He knew that his cousin asked him to smoke probably because he wanted to chat with him while smoking.
Seeing this, Zhang Bufan put away the cigarette in his mouth but did not light it. After all, the smoke would stick to his clothes and might also taint them with smell.
After putting away the cigarette, Zhang Bufan said, "It's nothing, actually. I just want to say that you should develop well in the army and don't have to worry about your family."
He looked at Chen Ming and added, "You don't have to worry about your uncle and aunt. I will definitely be able to take care of them more, and I will also get the foundation's affairs settled as soon as possible."
"I'll find time to hire professionals to help you tidy up the house and install all the furniture you need. I'll also ask your uncle and aunt to provide air conditioners, refrigerators, and other supplies for the summer. I guarantee that you'll be given a big surprise when you come back."
Zhang Bufan spoke with great interest, as if what he was thinking about was right in front of him.
Chen Ming was not very interested in this, as long as his parents were living well.
Seeing that his cousin was so attentive, he was satisfied and nodded to Zhang Bufan and said, "Cousin, thank you in advance."
Zhang Bufan helped him so much, and even the foundation did not ask for a share, but only helped with management.
Basically, I'm working for Chen Mingbai.
Although that game file would allow him to quickly gain a foothold in the company and possibly become a senior figure.
But the value of these benefits is nothing compared to the billion-dollar foundation.
It can be said that his cousin was helping him set up the foundation and taking care of his parents without charging any benefits.
Hearing Chen Ming's thanks, Zhang Bufan waved his hands and said, "There's nothing to thank you for. If you want to thank someone, I should be the one thanking you!"
Zhang Bufan looked at Chen Ming with a smile on his face.
Chen Ming looked at him in confusion. What was he thanking him for
Zhang Bufan smiled and said, "Although you didn't have much contact with my mother during your trip home, it has completely changed her. Today, she asked me to drive you home."
As he spoke to Chen Ming, a smile appeared on his face.
Many times, he felt that his mother Chen Liping was a bit arrogant and domineering.
Her father Zhang Feng was a bit timid, so she would often order him around, roll her eyes at him, and scold him when she got angry.
The same goes for herself. She just gives me all kinds of orders and restrictions, and gets angry if she doesn't do what she wants.
It seemed as if the whole world revolved around her.
However, after Chen Ming came back, she felt frustrated. In addition, on New Year's Eve, Chen Ming's father Chen Gensheng gave her a lecture, which made her change her ways completely.
At least in Zhang Bufan's opinion, his mother has changed a lot. She has become much more tolerant towards both him and his father.
For Zhang Bufan, this is undoubtedly the best.
Listening to his cousin's words, Chen Ming couldn't help but think of the changes in his aunt in the past half month after the New Year.
My aunt used to be arrogant and very strong.
But after New Year's Eve, he seemed like a different person and his personality became much softer.
I no longer treat my relatives with the same airs as before.
Of course, as an outsider, he certainly didn't understand his aunt's mental journey.
She just thought that her family was so powerful now that the city leaders came to express their condolences in person. My aunt could no longer act so she became depressed.
Chen Ming smiled. As long as everything was moving in a good direction, that was fine.
After getting out of the car, he took out his luggage from the trunk, walked to the side of the car again, and waved to his cousin, "Cousin, I'll go buy the ticket first!"
At home, with the help of his cousin, he can indeed feel much more at ease.
After all, I come from a single-child family and my parents only have one son.
But he was away from home all year round when he went to the army.
My parents are old. If something urgent happens and I can’t get back in time, it would be much better if my cousin could help me.
He doesn't need to worry about the foundation's affairs at all, just leave it to his cousin.
After all, he is a top student at Fudan University, and a top student at Fudan University in 2010. Even if it is a little troublesome, he should be able to manage it in order. He just needs to develop in the army with peace of mind.
Besides, even if something unexpected happened to the foundation, causing it to go bankrupt and liquidate, it wouldn’t matter. He would only lose a game anyway.
This toy is very popular in the outside world, but to him, it is not an important thing.
He has plenty of game files.
It was precisely because Chen Ming himself did not value it that he just gave it to his cousin.
After all, in his eyes, this is something that can be ignored.
He just wanted to use it to earn points.
If it is something he values, he will have to sign a contract even if he gives it to a partner he trusts the most.
My cousin shouted loudly from behind: "Bon voyage!"
Chen Ming waved his hand and said nothing.
At this time, the train station was filled with farewell scenes.
Wives see their husbands off, parents see their sons off, each one looking reluctant yet helpless.
After all, the New Year is over, and people working outside their hometowns have also begun their own journey.
Chen Ming pulled his luggage and walked through the crowded crowd.
I successfully bought the train ticket at the military priority window and boarded the train.
The train started slowly, passing one platform after another, with people getting on and off.
Chen Ming looked at the red rising sun from the beginning, until he could no longer look at it at noon, and then at the sunset in the evening.
And he finally got out of the car.
After leaving the train station, I took a taxi to the outskirts of the military control area. After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the military control area’s checkpoint.
There were five corporals and one lieutenant standing guard here at this time.
After seeing Chen Ming coming over, the lieutenant glanced at Chen Ming's face, then looked at Chen Ming's rank of major suspiciously, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
Such a young major
Although he was confused, he still took a step forward, saluted Chen Ming solemnly, and shouted loudly: "Comrade, please show me your ID!"
Chen Ming took out his military ID card and the officer certificate he had obtained at the awarding ceremony and handed them over.
Perhaps due to the huge gap between Chen Ming's age and military rank, the lieutenant carefully checked it for nearly two minutes before returning the certificate to Chen Ming.
At the same time, he saluted Chen Ming again and shouted loudly: "Hello, Chief!"
Hearing the word "chief", Chen Ming instantly felt overjoyed.
Looking at the lieutenant, he felt that he was a teachable kid and a smile appeared on his face.
With his identity confirmed, Chen Ming naturally had a smooth journey and soon arrived at the military headquarters.
Now that he is back from vacation, Chen Ming will definitely report to the two military district chiefs who have been silently supporting him behind the scenes.
After all, whether it was going to the Feilong Special Forces to gain experience or going to the National University of Defense Technology to study, it was all instructed by these two leaders.
Now that Chen Ming has returned from his studies, he naturally has to report to them.
Just like Tang Xuanzang who returned from his journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures, the first person he wanted to see was naturally Emperor Taizong. Otherwise, would he have to go back to the Jinguang Temple first
Since the emperor didn't even give him face, the great monk Xuanzang probably didn't want to stay in the Tang Dynasty anymore.
