But the more clear Jiang Heshan's identity became, the more serious Mayor Zhao's shock became.
Jiang Heshan is now almost one of the few people at the highest decision-making level in China, but not only did he come to the Chen family in person, he also bowed his head to a junior from the third generation of the Chen family. You must know that everyone who came out of the army would rather break than bend. Jiang Heshan must have done this because Chen Mo was of great significance to him.
Mayor Zhao's face was a little ugly. Although the Zhao family in Lingnan was extraordinary in strength, it was still far behind the six super aristocratic families in Yanjing. Jiang Heshan's identity was no worse than that of the heads of the six aristocratic families. Even he was soft on Chen Mo, but Zhao City Chang Que just offended Chen Mo.
Mayor Zhao suddenly became extremely depressed. Why did he come here if you said everything was fine? Originally, he wanted to see who this Mr. Chen was, but after seeing that Chen Mo was so young, he became jealous and even offended Chen Mo.
Isn't this just shooting yourself in the foot
Chen Mo didn't expect Jiang Heshan to say such a thing. He was slightly startled, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated. He would not suspect Jiang Heshan of lying, because people at Jiang Heshan's level no longer bothered to lie.
And now it is clear that Jiang Heshan wants something from Chen Mo. If he lies and deceives Chen Mo, it will not do him any good once Chen Mo finds out.
"Tell me, what are you looking for me for?" Chen Mo asked lightly.
Jiang Heshan did not shy away and said directly: "Let you lead the Condor Special Team to participate in a competition."
Chen Mo refused directly: "Not interested."
"I knew you would answer like this." Jiang Heshan showed a hint of pride on his face, but soon, he put away the pride on his face and said with a serious face: "Don't refuse in a hurry. If you agree, we will give it to you directly. Although the rank of major general is not substantial, you can definitely understand the benefits of this status with your intelligence."
Chen Mo didn't answer immediately. To be honest, he was a little moved.
The rank of major general is nothing, but what he wants is a name. If he has this identity, it will not be so easy for the Li family to use official power to deal with him in the future.
A major general is a big figure in the army. If he wants to use the army to deal with Chen Mo, he should first ask Chen Mo if he agrees.
Chen Mo was still thinking, but the hearts of others in the hall were already filled with turmoil.
Chen Dongyue looked at Jiang Heshan with horror on his face: "Did I hear you correctly? Young... rank of major general? How is this possible!"
Chen Chongshan also had a look of horror on his face and murmured to himself: "How old is Chen Mo this year? He is less than twenty years old. A major general who is less than twenty years old... am I not dreaming?"
Ye Feier's father Ye Zhengqi's expression remained unchanged, but the horror in his eyes was no less than anyone else's.
"What's so special about this boy? That this big shot from above is so interested in him that he even promised him the rank of major general!"
Ye Zhengqi looked at Chen Lei, who looked frightened, and then at Chen Mo, who had a dull expression. He shook his head secretly in his heart: "Once the comparison is made, the judge will be judged! If I had known this guy earlier, I would definitely not agree with Fei'er and Chen Lei. matter."
Ye Zhengqi regretted it, but it was too late now, but he also knew very well that even if Ye Feier and Chen Lei were not allowed to be together, Chen Mo might not like Ye Feier.
Even the most beautiful woman in Yanjing can refuse her, and there is also the daughter of the Murong family behind her. Neither of these two is worse than Ye Feier.
Ye Zhengqi secretly sighed: "The Chen family has a dragon!"
Ye Zhengqi was not the only one to sigh like this. Those who came to pay New Year greetings to the Chen family had this thought in their hearts.
Even Mayor Zhao secretly sighed: "The Chen family has a dragon, the Chen family has a dragon!"
Chen Guoliang was also horrified, but as the head of the Chen family, he did not show it.
He didn't know what Chen Mo was hesitating about, but he felt that Chen Mo should have his own plans, but he couldn't help but interject: "Xiao Mo, do you know why my Chen family has the status it has today?"
Chen Mo looked at Chen Guoliang in confusion, shook his head and said, "Grandpa, please tell me!"
Chen Guoliang nodded, and a solemn look appeared on his old face: "That's because the ancestors of my Chen family sacrificed their lives for the country. The Chen family is a hero, so in exchange for the descendants of the descendants enjoying wealth and prosperity."
A look of compassion appeared on the faces of Chen Guozhong and Chen Guodong next to them, as if they were reminded of that tragic era, when the ancestors of the Chen family sacrificed their lives and blood, heroically and tragically, and sacrificed their lives generously.
Chen Guozhong said with a heavy voice: "Xiao Mo, there is this sentence in the ancestral motto of my Chen family, if the state has a move, you should die! Do you still remember?"
Chen Mo didn't say anything. Did the Chen family's ancestral training...well, he didn't remember it at all.
Chen Guodong said: "Now the chief has come in person to entrust you with important tasks. As a descendant of my Chen family, you must obey unconditionally. Only then will you be worthy of the ancestors of the Chen family!"
Chen Guodong spoke extremely harshly, as if he was afraid that Chen Mo would not agree.
Jiang Heshan clasped his fists at the three elders of the Chen family and said: "Three old gentlemen understand the righteousness, please accept Jiang Heshan's respect!"
With that said, Jiang Heshan bowed and saluted.
Chen Guoliang hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Heshan up: "The chief must never be like this. As a Chinese, it is my Chen family's duty to contribute to the country. I cannot afford such a gift from the chief!"
Jiang Heshan stood up, looked at Chen Guoliang and sighed: "Everyone understands the truth, but how many people can say the same thing? Jiang Heshan admires these three people from the bottom of his heart!"
Chen Jingye was also advising from the side: "Xiao Mo, your three grandfathers all said this, you must not chill their hearts!"
Li Sufang glared at Chen Jingye and shouted in a low voice: "If Xiao Mo is allowed to die, will you also let him go? This matter should be left to Xiao Mo's own will. Don't persuade him, lest it affect his correct choice! "
Chen Jingye suddenly fell silent.
As a woman, especially as a mother, Li Sufang doesn't care about national justice. She just wants her children to be safe.
A warm current rose in Chen Mo's heart, and he already had a choice.
He may not care about the rank of major general or the opinions of the world, but his family cannot.
Perhaps after a period of time, Chen Mo may leave the earth, but his family will continue to live on the earth. Chen Mo cannot just be happy for himself, regardless of the feelings of his family.
Especially the mysterious woman he met in the northwest last time, Chen Mo knew very well that that woman was an out-and-out immortal cultivator.
Although she is much weaker than Chen Mo, she is still a serious concern. Once Chen Mo is gone, if that woman becomes crazy and takes revenge on Chen Mo's family, won't Chen Mo have to regret it for the rest of his life
But with the rank of major general, it means that there is official care, and even the mysterious woman does not dare to act rashly.
"Chief Jiang, if you win, I'll go with you!" Chen Mo said with a faint smile.
Jiang Heshan laughed and said: "The superior has already said that you will not refuse."
Chen Mo sighed softly, and the figure standing at the top of the Chinese pyramid appeared in front of his eyes: "China can have such a great man, why worry about the scene where all the nations came to court in the past?"
