"Xiao Zhou, sit down."
An old man with slightly white temples and a rosy face sat on the sofa with a graceful look and pointed at the chair beside him.
The old man is Ma Shouchang, currently the vice president of the Military Academy.
"Thanks."
Li Jie smiled in a neither humble nor condescending manner and sat down as he was told.
No desire leads to strength. No matter how powerful Ma Shouchang's official position is or how wide his connections are, he has nothing to do with him, and he has no hope of borrowing from others.
Seeing Li Jie's calm appearance, Ma Shouchang nodded unconsciously.
This guy is pretty good.
Whenever big things happen and there is calmness, a young man like 'Zhou Bingkun' will inevitably become restless and irritable, but he did not see the irritability in the other person.
"Xiao Zhou, first of all, I want to apologize to you."
Ma Shouchang said embarrassedly: "I asked you to come over so late."
"Mr. Ma, you are serious."
Li Jie shook his head repeatedly: "You came to me because of village affairs. It's never too late, not to mention it's not too late now."
Hearing this, Ma Shouchang was a little stunned.
Not too late?
It's past eight o'clock now, almost nine o'clock.
If he hadn't been going out for a meeting in a few days, he wouldn't have called someone over so late.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Shouchang suddenly realized a problem.
Missed the point!
How did this kid know that he was looking for him because of the village?
The two had just met and had barely exchanged a few words, and Xiao Zhou (the security guard) didn't know his purpose of finding someone.
Did the old squad leader tell this kid?
Thinking about it carefully, Ma Shouchang felt that something was wrong. He understood the character of the old squad leader. He was not the kind of person to talk about relationships.
After so many years, the old squad leader had never asked him to do anything, until last time, that was the only time.
And it's not for the old monitor himself, but for the collective and the next generation.
When he thought of the old squad leader, Ma Shouchang felt sorry for him.
If it hadn't been to save himself, the old squad leader wouldn't have taken off his military uniform, and maybe there would have been another ending.
Ma Shouchang's regret is not because the old squad leader is now just a village chief.
In his view, revolutionary work does not distinguish between high and low, whether the village chief or the dean, they all serve the people.
What he regretted was that the old monitor had missed out on many honors.
Honor is the second life of a soldier!
If it weren't for that desperate save, Ma Shouchang wouldn't be where he is today.
Therefore, Ma Shouchang has always been grateful to the old squad leader. Even after so many years, the gratitude in his heart has not retreated at all.
Now, the old squad leader finally asked him for help, so he naturally wanted to help him to the end.
"Xiao Zhou, how did you know that I was looking for you because of village affairs?"
Ma Shouchang is a soldier and doesn't like beating around the bush. He just says what he has to say. To be honest, he is really curious about why the other party knows.
Li Jie said bluntly: "I heard Cai Xiaoguang mention this matter. It was you who helped the village solve the car quota."
Cai Xiaoguang?
When he heard this name, Ma Shouchang was stunned for a moment, looking thoughtful. After a moment, he seemed to have some realization.
Isn't this a boy from Lao Cai's family?
No wonder it sounds familiar.
Jichun City is neither small nor big. There are only so many senior cadres, and the circle is not large. Although Ma Shouchang and Cai's father are not close friends, they are not close friends.
But the relationship is not bad.
After all, they are all wearing military uniforms.
"You know that kid?"
When he learned that Li Jie knew the boy from Lao Cai's family, Ma Shouchang immediately became interested.
He really didn't know about this relationship before.
Now it seems that even without his help, getting the car quota should not be a problem.
Although Ma Shouchang doesn't like privilege, it exists objectively.
Being an official has privileges, political needs, and human connections. These things cannot be stated openly, but they cannot be ignored.
The phenomenon of specialization of the children of high-ranking cadres has always existed. Even though rectifications have been carried out many times, this phenomenon still cannot be solved.
Ordinary people need to take exams to go to college, but the children of high-ranking cadres can be admitted.
Is this fair?
Obviously, it violates fairness.
In addition, the children of high-ranking cadres attended primary school for children of cadres and middle schools for children of cadres. Compared with children of workers and peasants, it is easier for them to join the Youth League and the party.
They can have things that others don't have, they can go to places that others can't go, and they can see the internal reference that others can't see.
In fact, Ma Shouchang didn't like Cai Xiaoguang very much. This kid was restless when he was in school and was the leader of the school's rebels.
Where is the school?
A place to learn knowledge!
Before liberation, many people had no way to study even if they wanted to. However, life finally got better and children of workers and peasants were able to go to school.
But with the rebels making such a fuss and the school being in such a mess, how could the students still have the energy to study hard?
These young people have no life experience or social experience, and they can judge the policies above just by reading a few internal reference books.
In Ma Shouchang's view, they were not concerned about national affairs, but were causing chaos.
Students should study hard. If they really want to do something for the country, it is not too late to shine when they grow up and have life and social experience.
This is why Ma Shouchang looks at Li Jie differently.
Compared with those children of cadres who are 'making trouble', young people like 'Zhou Bingkun' are what the country really needs.
What Zhou Bingkun has done just confirms what the chairman said, there is huge space in rural areas and a lot can be done.
Isn’t it a good way to set up a factory?
Bring the excellent and successful experiences in the city to the countryside to help farmers get rid of poverty.
This is good!
"Well, we've known each other for a long time."
Li Jie didn't mean to hide anything and said bluntly: "Brother Xiaoguang, my sister, and my brother are classmates. They have a very good relationship. When I was in school, Brother Xiaoguang would run to my house whenever he had something to do."
"Oh, I see."
Ma Shouchang nodded thoughtfully.
"Hey, Lao Ma, are there guests at home?"
At this time, a clear female voice suddenly came from the door.
Turning around, I saw a middle-aged woman with short hair and gray overalls walking briskly from the door.
"Um."
Seeing the woman approaching, Ma Shouchang stood up quickly and pointed at Li Jie with a smile.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zhou Bingkun, a very interesting kid."
Zhou Bingkun?
Upon hearing this name, the middle-aged woman murmured in a low voice, then she suddenly raised her face and looked at Li Jie in surprise.
"Your name is Zhou Bingkun?"
"Who are you Zhou Bingyi? What is your relationship?"
As soon as the woman spoke, Li Jie recognized the other party's identity: Qu Xiuzhen, Ma Shouchang's wife, the leader of the Songhuajiang Soy Sauce Factory in the original work.
But, how did she know Zhou Bingyi?
The two of them don't seem to have anything to do with each other, right?
