At around five o'clock in the afternoon, in the Southwest Theater Command Headquarters in Kun City, Gui Mengjun, Su Tianyu, and Yu Mingyuan were briefly searched in the guard room before Xiao Qinglong came over in person to pick them up.
Actually, this time when they came to the headquarters, Dabai, Su Tiannan, Su Tianbei and others also wanted to meet the commander and broaden their horizons, but the headquarters would not allow you to bring twenty relatives and friends to visit together, so Gui Mengjun finally only called Gou Liuzi and Yu Mingyuan.
In the guard room, Gui Mengjun and the other two shook hands with Xiao Qinglong respectively. After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides headed upstairs.
In the long and narrow corridor, Su Tianyu and Yu Mingyuan looked at the scene inside the headquarters curiously. They saw that the officers here were all neatly dressed and of high quality. Even the regimental-level cadres who were just about to get off work walked in a queue along the side of the corridor wall when leaving. There was no noise. At most, they saluted each other and had a brief conversation.
The atmosphere in the military camp was the most special and also the most severe. Su Tianyu felt quite familiar with this scene and inexplicably recalled his days in the Army University.
At the front, Xiao Qinglong led the way and whispered to Gui Mengjun, "The commander just finished a meeting at noon, and he has to go to Kun City to attend a dinner in the evening. He only has two or three hours of rest time. Haha, he specifically asked to arrange the dinner here so that he can eat with you."
Gui Mengjun chuckled and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Commander."
"The list of people who have crossed the border was sent over last night. The headquarters took a quick look and felt that since the matter has reached Brunei, we can stop here." Xiao Qinglong continued, "Let's be merciful when we can."
When Gui Mengjun heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "I understand, I understand!"
"Hmm!" After Xiao Qinglong made a few suggestions, he didn't say anything more and led a group of people to the commander's office on the top floor.
Xiang Jingyang spent a lot of time at the headquarters, so his office was specially equipped with a lounge and a dining room, with a total area of about 100 square meters, but the decoration looked quite ordinary, no different from a normal cadre's office.
After Xiao Qinglong led everyone into the house, they saw Xiang Jingyang wearing a white shirt, sitting on the sofa watching a live football game. Su Tianyu also noticed that on the bookshelf to the right of the large desk, there were two footballs signed by two football stars. It seems that this young commander has a wide range of hobbies.
"Commander, people are coming!" Xiao Qinglong walked over and reminded.
Xiang Jingyang turned around after hearing this, glanced at Gui Mengjun and the others, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Come on, come and sit down!"
The three men stepped forward, not daring to extend their hands. They only saluted and shouted, "Hello, Commander!" according to military etiquette.
"Okay." Xiang Jingyang waved his hand warmly: "No outsiders, sit anywhere!"
The three of them looked at each other, put their butts together, and sat on the sofas on the left and right sides.
"Can we serve the food now?" Xiao Qinglong asked with a smile.
"Okay, let's eat in the restaurant." Xiang Jingyang nodded and replied.
Xiao Qinglong turned and left. Xiang Jingyang crossed his legs, pointed at the TV screen and said, "This game is really annoying. In the Asian Cup group stage, we changed two coaches in four games, lost three times and tied one. I can find ten players and they can all play better than them."
"With the host advantage, we will definitely advance in the second round of the group stage." Su Tianyu also watches sports, including basketball and football. He can't be said to be a big fan, but he is definitely a fan, so he couldn't help but interject.
"Are you watching the game too?" Xiang Jingyang asked with a smile.
"I saw it, but I didn't watch the group match this time. Isn't he on a business trip to the Old Triangle?" Su Tianyu replied with gritted teeth.
Gui Mengjun felt that this wimp was talking too much and winked at him, but Su Tianyu was thick-skinned and not afraid of embarrassment. He only knew how to flatter the driver, leaving little chance for him to leave an impression, so he smiled and replied with a few more words.
When Xiang Jingyang saw Su Tianyu wearing a coat and a chest brace, he immediately smiled and asked, "Are you Xiao Su who entered the country last night?"
"Yes, yes." Su Tianyu nodded slowly.
"You look very energetic, young man." Xiang Jingyang was much older than Su Tianyu anyway, so it was not an exaggeration to call him a young man. He smiled and stood up, waving his hand and saying, "I'm too irritated. I won't watch anymore. Let's go and eat."
The three of them immediately stood up and followed, heading towards the restaurant.
"Meng Jun, you are not competent as the president of a trading company." Xiang Jingyang said jokingly as he walked, "The helmsman of this company just disappeared without a trace. You have made many people feel uneasy!"
Xiang Jingyang seemed to be joking, but Gui Mengjun was quite nervous and immediately replied: "Yes, yes, my ability is limited, I will study harder."
"I've already told you that there are no outsiders here, so don't be so nervous. You're chatting like this, so I have to be polite." Xiang Jingyang bent down and sat in the main seat, waving his hand and saying, "Everyone, please be more casual. I've been in meetings all afternoon and I'm already very tired."
"Yes, yes!" Gui Mengjun nodded, and sat down with Gou Liuzi and Su Tianyu.
Not long after the four of them sat down, the food prepared by the kitchen was served. It was all Chinese food, and mainly authentic Sichuan cuisine.
Xiang Jingyang took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks and invited everyone to eat, but everyone was still a little nervous, especially Gui Mengjun. He knew that the commander was pointing a finger at him, implying that he had handled the exhibition matters a little hastily and made certain mistakes, so he was obviously restrained in everything.
During the dinner, Xiang Jingyang did not mention a word about the arms business, nor did he ask about the progress of the exhibition. He just casually asked about Gui Mengjun's family situation, such as the health of the old man of the Gui family.
During the meal, Su Tianyu observed Xiang Jingyang and found that this man was not pretending to be easy-going. Instead, his every move was full of vitality. He did not have the airs of the older generation of powerful people at all. When he talked with everyone, he was more casual in both language and body language.
After Xiang Jingyang talked with Gui Mengjun for a while, he suddenly looked at Su Tianyu and asked with a smile: "I heard that you and Zhao Weihu have a close relationship?"
Su Tianyu was a little confused when he heard this. He thought to himself that this commander was speaking with great force and he had no idea how to respond.
Talk about intimacy
In front of the commander, he said that he was close to the bandit leader? Wasn't that a bit too much
But if we don't talk about intimacy, it would seem fake.
Xiang Jingyang saw Su Tianyu's hesitation at a glance, and immediately chuckled and added: "This is not District 1, and the evaluation of the Chi Army is still blank, so you don't have to be too nervous."
When Su Tianyu heard this, he immediately replied: "Zhao Weihu is my sworn brother."
Xiang Jingyang was at a loss after hearing this. He thought to himself, you are really a brave man. You have even become sworn brothers with the bandit leader
"Well, I heard that Zhao Weihu has formed an armed force mainly composed of Chinese in Sinalo?" Xiang Jingyang asked softly.
"Well, it's mainly to protect the interests of the Chinese." Su Tianyu immediately added.
"Haha." Xiang Jingyang looked at Su Tianyu and smiled: "When you go back, I have a gift for him."
