Chapter 369: Your father and I are brothers

"Amo, who is it?"

With the voice, an old man with gray hair and a straight waist walked out of the inner room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 He walked to the door, reached out and stroked the little girl's hair, looked at the few people outside the door, and asked, "Are you guys here to find me?"

"Grandpa, they said they were from Nanjiang Province on the mainland, but only two of them were, and one didn't know what they were doing. The little girl named Ah Mo reported the information she had found to her grandfather as if she were invited to merit, and at the same time patrolled back and forth on the three of them with her big sparkling eyes, trying to find out who was the third party who was excluded from the "two Nanjiang juniors" introduced by Feng Xiaochen.

"Nanjiang Province, you are from Nanjiang Province!" The old man's eyes lit up, and his face showed surprise.

"Are you Mr. Zhang Guodong?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

"It's me. The old man replied.

Feng Xiaochen bowed deeply to the other party, and then said: "Senior Feng Xiaochen, a disciple of the Metallurgical Department of Nanjiang Province, greets Grandpa Zhang. ”

Zhang Guodong was stunned for a moment, then pointed his finger at Feng Xiaochen, and asked in a speculative tone: "You said that your surname is Feng and you are from the Metallurgical Hall, then Mr. Feng Weiren is your ......."

"He's my grandfather. Feng Xiaochen replied.

"You are Feng Lao's grandson!" Zhang Guodong's eyes flashed with tears, he subconsciously stretched out his hand, grabbed Feng Xiaochen's arm, and dragged him into the room, beckoning while dragging back: "Come in, come in, and the two of you, come in quickly." ”

The three of them followed Zhang Guodong into the house and came to the small living room. Zhang Guodong beckoned everyone to sit down on a small sofa, and at the same time called for Mo to go into the room to get a stool. Looking at the happy appearance of the little girl running before and after, Zhang Guodong introduced to everyone with a smile: "This is my granddaughter, her big name is Liu Qingli, her little name is Amo, she is 8 years old this year, this child likes to be lively, and a guest at home is happy like the New Year." ”

Everyone sat down separately, Feng Xiaochen introduced Yang Haifan and Si Qiang to Zhang Guodong, Zhang Guodong greeted each of them twice, and then asked Feng Xiaochen impatiently: "Xiao Feng, why did you find me here? Did your grandfather ask you to come to me? Is his old man in good health?"

"My grandfather has passed away. Feng Xiaochen said, and then he simply introduced Feng Weiren's situation in those years to Zhang Guodong. Zhang Guodong sighed when he heard this, and took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, obviously quite sad.

"Feng Lao is my teacher, and I have always been a disciple of him. Zhang Guodong said, "Xiao Feng, you can call me Uncle Zhang." I know your father Feng Li, and we were also called brothers back then. Feng Lao is kind to me, if it weren't for Feng Lao, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. ”

This Zhang Guodong is not small. Before liberation, he studied mechanical engineering at Imperial College London. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he, like many international students back then, chose to return to China to serve. Because he is a native of Nanjiang Province, he was arranged to work in the Nanjiang Provincial Machinery Department and had a long intersection with Feng Weiren. At that time, Feng Weiren was already a well-known mechanical authority in China, and Zhang Guodong was a young man in his 20s, although his educational background was good, but his experience was far inferior, and Feng Weiren gave him a lot of guidance. He called Feng Weiren his teacher, and because of that.

In the past ten years, Feng Weiren and Zhang Guodong have a relationship of teacher and friend, and Zhang Guodong often visits Feng's house as a guest, so he has a good relationship with Feng Xiaochen's father Feng Li. Speaking of details, Zhang Guodong has even seen Feng Xiaochen and Feng Lingyu's little brothers when he was a child, but Feng Xiaochen does not have any impression of this uncle.

During the sports years, Zhang Guodong was affected because of his family background and study abroad background. Unlike Feng Weiren, Zhang Guodong usually likes to complain and complain, and was kept in a black file by the revolutionary masses, so he suffered a more serious blow, and according to what he just said, even his life and safety were threatened.

In desperation, Zhang Guodong had no choice but to ask Feng Weiren for help. Through his connections, Feng Weiren helped Zhang Guodong contact an opportunity to go on a business trip to the south, and Zhang Guodong took advantage of this opportunity to smuggle his wife and daughter to Hong Kong Island, where they stayed. Because of this incident, Feng Weiren was also implicated, which Zhang Guodong can imagine.

Before Mr. Cheung left, Mr. Fung told him the names of several people whom Mr. Fung had known in the past and who were teaching at several universities on Hong Kong Island at the time. After Zhang Guodong arrived on Hong Kong Island, he used the connections of these people to get a teaching position, which supported his family, and he was able to retire as a professor more than ten years later.

When Feng Xiaochen was at home, he occasionally heard his grandfather and parents talk about Zhang Guodong, and the elders sometimes guessed Zhang Guodong's current situation, saying that they didn't know whether he was dead or alive, and if he was still alive, how would he be mixed, and so on. Because there is very little information exchange between Hong Kong Island and the mainland, and Zhang Guodong is a person who has fled Hong Kong, there are political problems, and he does not dare to contact his family, this news has been cut off for more than 10 years.

Feng Xiaochen stumbled upon Zhang Guodong's name when he was checking information in the data room of the Metallurgical Bureau. At that time, Feng Xiaochen was assigned by Luo Xiangfei to consult academic journals and prepare to make an intelligence review on open-pit mine equipment. In a paper from Hong Kong Island Polytechnic University, Feng Xiaochen saw the name Zhang Guodong, and the content was about mining machinery, which was consistent with the Zhang Guodong he knew.

At that time, Feng Xiaochen didn't plan to contact this Zhang Guodong, but just regarded it as a gossip, cared a little about it, and then talked about it to his parents. Because of this, his father Feng Li told him some anecdotes about Zhang Guodong, and the final conclusion was: It is best not to contact such a person who has fled Hong Kong, so as not to get into political trouble.

Feng Xiaochen thought of Zhang Guodong again because he wanted to engage in construction machinery. There are not a few domestic enterprises engaged in construction machinery, and his enterprises must have their own core competitiveness if they want to stand out. At this time, he suddenly thought of Zhang Guodong, this old man is a mechanical bull, and he happened to be a construction machinery after he arrived on Hong Kong Island. Feng Xiaochen read Zhang Guodong's paper and found that he proposed many new ideas that have been verified by later generations, but they have not received everyone's attention at the moment.

Feng Xiaochen's plan was to invite this big bull over to be a chief engineer, and he would provide him with some ideas for future generations. With Zhang Guodong's ability, it is not difficult to draw inferences from one case and design several competitive products.

Of course, there are other reasons for inviting Zhang Guodong to join, that is, to use the connections he has accumulated on Hong Kong Island to help Feng Xiaochen achieve some other goals.

After having this idea, Feng Xiaochen asked Zhang Heping to help him investigate Zhang Guodong and his person. Zhang Heping handed over the matter to Si Qiang, and what Si Qiang provided to Feng Xiaochen in the car just now was the result of their investigation. According to the information provided by Si Qiang, this Zhang Guodong is indeed the same Zhang Guodong who escaped from Nanjiang Province back then, and has been working on Hong Kong Island all these years. Si Qiang's information also shows that although Zhang Guodong was a fugitive from Hong Kong, he did not come into contact with any hostile forces during his stay on Hong Kong Island, nor did he do anything reactionary, which means that there are not too many obstacles to inviting him back to the mainland to work.

The experience of fleeing Hong Kong was a very bad political issue at the time, but after the 80s, it was gradually diluted. Feng Li did not understand the direction of the policy and was worried that contact with Zhang Guodong would bring trouble, but Feng Xiaochen knew very well that there would be no problem in inviting Zhang Guodong back to the mainland, and he might even be appreciated by the "relevant departments" and listed as an important example of why he brought in overseas patriotic talents.

"My father often talked about you at home. ”

Listening to Zhang Guodong talk about Feng Li, Feng Xiaochen said with a smile: "He said that you love to eat fried rice cakes very much, and you have to eat indigestion every time, but you still can't help but be greedy afterward." ”

"Haha, does he really remember this?" Zhang Guodong laughed heartily, the most exciting thing about meeting old acquaintances in a foreign country is to talk about the past. Some things were thought to be trivial things back then, but when I mention them again after 20 years, they are full of warmth, which makes people feel warm, and at the same time they can't help crying.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Guodong was already convinced of Feng Xiaochen's identity, and also said a few things like Feng Xiaochen's bedwetting when he was a child, which made everyone laugh again. After laughing, Zhang Guodong asked about Feng Xiaochen's intention:

"By the way, Xiao Feng, where do you work now, are you here to Hong Kong Island on a business trip? These two are your colleagues, right?"

Feng Xiaochen sat up straight, and said solemnly: "Uncle Zhang, if you don't ask, I am also planning to report to you." In the past few years, I have worked in the Major Equipment Office of the State Economic Commission, and I am the deputy director of the General Division. However, I resigned from my employer last month, and the company wanted to send me to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences to study for a master's degree. ”

"That's great!" Zhang Guodong praised, "It's amazing, I became the deputy director of the State Economic Commission at a young age, and now I want to go to further study, I will definitely have a bright future in the future, and Feng Lao should also feel relieved in heaven." ”

Feng Xiaochen smiled, thanked Zhang Guodong for his praise, and then introduced the identities of Yang Haifan and Si Qiang. Yang Haifan is the general manager of Chen Yu Bearing Company, which did not surprise Zhang Guodong, after all, Hong Kong Island does not lack the title of general manager. Si Qiang is the director of a news agency, and this identity startled Zhang Guodong, as a person who escaped from the mainland, how could he not know the true background of a news agency on Hong Kong Island, for a while, he almost thought that Feng Xiaochen brought Si Qiang over to arrest him and bring him back to the case.

"The main purpose of the younger generation's visit to Hong Kong Island this time is to visit Uncle Zhang, I want to invite Uncle Zhang back to Nanjiang, I don't know if Uncle Zhang has such a plan. ”

As soon as Feng Xiaochen's words came out, Zhang Guodong's face turned white.
