On the weekend, around 7:30 in the evening, an off-road vehicle stopped in front of a villa in the family compound of garrison cadres in Fukuoka District, Longcheng City. Wen Xiaorou, who was over 1.70 meters tall, got out with a briefcase and walked into the house.
Wen Xiaorou's father, Wen Zhanbo, is the commander of the 13th Brigade of the First Army of the Longcheng Garrison Corps. His brigade is mainly responsible for the military garrison in the Casaro area and has great power.
If we follow the military organization of a large region, many military units at the brigade level have been abolished long ago, but many units under the Chinese Corps' combat sequence are still using this level of division. It may be because there are too few units at the army level and too many veterans with merit, so this level was created to facilitate the allocation of responsibilities and powers.
After Wen Xiaorou entered the house, she took off her shoes and looked up to see her father sitting on the sofa. There were also a lot of extra tea sets on the coffee table. "Dad, is there anyone coming home?"
"Well, Yu Mingyuan and the others are here." Wen Zhanbo took off his reading glasses and asked with a smile, "How is it? Are you tired from the training these days?"
"Not tired, hehe!" Wen Xiaorou walked over and sat next to her father, and asked softly, "Yu Mingyuan came here, is it related to Order No. 1?"
Wen Zhanbo nodded slowly: "Well, the navy wanted to do some business, so they found him and asked him to come over to build a relationship."
"Doing business in the south?"
"right."
"Did you agree?" Wen Xiaorou picked up the apple on the table and took a bite, then asked casually.
"not yet."
"You feel it's unsafe, right?" Wen Xiaorou continued the conversation, "Yes, the higher-ups are really anxious this time, and the decree is very serious."
"That's not the only reason." Wen Zhanbo said softly, "Since ancient times, there have always been policies from above and countermeasures from below. Sanctioning Murphy is a matter of face, but this blanket approach will affect the interests of many people. The officers below are used to being greedy. If you suddenly make them eat coarse food, what can they do?"
"So what do you mean...?"
"Now many people are trying to build connections and wait for the storm to pass before doing business under the table. We have this too." Wen Zhanbo communicated very frankly with his daughter.
"Then why don't you agree to Mingyuan?"
"I just think that he is too young and not very stable." Wen Zhanbo sighed and said, "Old Yu is gone. His aunt persuaded him to go back to District 1, but he refused and wanted to stay in Dragon City. But for such a big thing, can he, an outsider, do a good job?"
Wen Xiaorou licked her lips, stole a glance at her father and said, "Actually, I think you think too much. Whether this can be done depends mainly on whether the navy is reliable. Mingyuan is not the one who is really in charge, so he can't make any decisions. To be honest with you, Mingyuan has contacted me before, and he contacted me because the navy promised him that if the deal was successful, they would help Wei Xiangzuo to take charge of Zhanan Port... This is very important to Mingyuan."
Wen Zhanbo looked at his daughter with a smile and did not respond.
"I think that we have long-standing friendships with the Yu and An families. Uncle Yu is gone, and it's not easy for him to do something on his own. If you can lend a hand, then help him." Wen Xiaorou persuaded in moderation, "Anyway, we won't lose anything by talking to the navy first. In the end, whether to do it or not is up to us to decide. What do you think?"
Wen Zhanbo put his hands in front of him and said with a smile, "You like Yu Mingyuan."
"Hey, what are you talking about...!"
"If he were my son-in-law, I would help him." Wen Zhanbo asked jokingly, "Do you think it's okay for me to talk to him like this?"
"Please don't. Let's not talk about whether I like him or not. Let's just talk about this relationship. It's better not to bring up business, politics or anything like that." Wen Xiaorou frowned and replied, "I will look worthless this way, Dad."
"Haha, you're right." Wen Zhanbo nodded, reached out to pick up the private mobile phone on the table, and dialed a number: "Hey, call Yu Mingyuan tomorrow and ask him to talk to the navy first and see what the situation is. Well, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Xiaorou said with a smile: "Dad, you are so decisive!"
"Let's talk first." Wen Zhanbo stood up and replied.
…
One day later, in the evening.
Inside the Su family compound in Zhanan, Second Uncle Su Zhengcai had just finished drinking and was feeding a few newly brought back wolfhounds in the front yard.
"Hello, may I ask, is this Su Zhengcai's home?" A man walked in from outside with some gifts in both hands.
The second uncle held the dirty dog food bowl and looked back at the man at the door: "I am Su Zhengcai, who are you?"
"Oh, you are Su Zhengcai!" The man immediately came over and said with a chuckle, "Uncle, don't you recognize me?"
The second uncle looked at the other person and found that he looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember his identity for a moment.
"I am the nephew of Xiao Gang of our Northeast Army. My name is Xiao Yucheng. I have seen you in Longcheng before. At that time, your family did not live in this courtyard." Xiao Yucheng introduced himself with a smile on his face.
The second uncle recalled and immediately nodded with a smile: "Ah, I remember, yes, it seems that you just came to Longcheng to join Gangzi at that time."
“Yes, yes!”
"Hey, where have you been all these years?"
"I was sent to Sinalo as a laborer before." Xiao Yucheng took out a cigarette box and immediately lit one for his second uncle: "Didn't the document come out recently that we were all recalled? I just got home."
"Oh!" Second Uncle smoked a cigarette: "Your uncle Gangzi is gone too, right?"
"Yes, he died of lung cancer a few years ago." Xiao Yucheng nodded.
"How did you find my house? Haha." Uncle Er was a little curious.
"I asked around. My uncle's former comrades-in-arms told me about it."
"Ah!" The second uncle nodded and immediately greeted enthusiastically: "Come on, come on, sit inside!"
Half an hour later, in the living room of the Su family, after the second uncle finished talking to Xiao Yucheng about the past, he immediately asked, "Are you here for something?"
"Yes, Uncle Su, I really have something to do." Xiao Yucheng paused and said, "When I came back this time, I heard that it is difficult for us workers to obtain household registration. I went out to ask, and it costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan to get it done through connections. Although I have saved some money over the years, my son is not in good health and I am also disabled. I will inevitably have to do some small business to make a living in the future. So I thought, since you have many connections and old comrades here, I wonder if you can find a way to help me get in touch so that we can spend less money, hehe...!"
"Want to do this cheaper?" Su Zhengcai asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Yucheng nodded very frankly.
There are a lot of hometown associations in Longcheng. Because it is not easy to go out, many people from different regions will help each other and introduce jobs to each other, so Su Zhengcai was not surprised by his visit. What's more, he is not far away from the other party's uncle. He was also a brother who carried guns in a battalion.
"Okay, I'll ask for you. My son and his friends are working in an association, so they might have some connections." Su Zhengcai replied, turning his head and shouting, "Tiannan, come here!"
Su Tiannan, who had just returned home, came over after hearing the voice: "What's wrong, Dad?"
"Let me introduce you to your uncle Gangzi's nephew. He just came back from Sinalo and wants to handle household registration. Use your connections and ask Liuzi to see if he can arrange it." Su Zhengcai said generously, "We are all from the Northeast. It's not easy for us. I'll help if I can."
"Are you a laborer?" Su Tiannan took out a cigarette box and started chatting with Xiao Yucheng face to face for the first time.
…
When Xiao Yucheng visited the Su family, Gou Liuzi and Yu Mingyuan were drinking with You Yifan and Wen Zhantao's people in a high-end restaurant in Longkou District. The first conversation between the two sides went smoothly, and they both sneered at the decree in private and cursed it.
When the banquet was halfway through, Wen Zhantao's officer took the opportunity to go to the toilet and said to Yu Mingyuan and Su Tianyu: "You Yifan purchases the goods and we deliver them, which is fine, but if you want to make a deal, you need a stable sales channel. I think today's discussion is good. How about this, tomorrow you and my people will go to Sinalo and check with Zhao Weihu first... He is receiving the goods like crazy now."
Su Tianyu was quite happy when he heard this. To be honest, after the last district foreign affairs, he was full of curiosity about Chijun.
At this point, a new round of fierce competition influenced by policies has quietly begun.
