Chapter 161: Surprise at the Welcome Banquet.
After Jiang Chen went out, he walked alone in a small garden behind this guest house, and now he needed to calm down and put out the fire. The scenery of Spring City is completely different from that of Anxi, and Jiang Chen likes it after looking at it for a while. So a man sat under a pavilion and teased the koi in the pool next to him. Looking at it like this, these koi must have been carefully taken care of and very lively. Jiang Chen didn't feed the fish food prepared from the pavilion for the people who browsed and recuperate, and some of the bold ones even jumped out of the water to fight for food.
After a while, a young man in a shirt walked in front of him, Jiang Chen felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he knew him. Just as he was thinking, the young man smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang, the welcome banquet is about to start, Deputy Director Song, please go back." ”
Jiang Chen only remembered that this young man was the secretary Wang of Deputy Director Song, Jiang Chen had also dealt with others. He smiled at this Secretary Wang: "Why, why did Deputy Director Song come in person." ”
Secretary Song smiled at Jiang Chen and said, "This time, the Science and Technology Commission has a greater responsibility as the main organizer, so Deputy Director Song decided to lead the team personally. ”
"Oh, that's right. Then let's go, don't let him wait. Jiang Chen replied with a smile, and then followed Deputy Director Song to the hall of the banquet.
Jiang Chen came to the hall and found that the personnel had already taken their seats, and before several leaders came, Jiang Chen found a place where no one was sitting down. Unexpectedly, the leader of the guest house who reprimanded Jiang Chen before ran over and said to Jiang Chen: "Comrade Jiang, I'm sorry just now, it's our negligence in our work, and we will definitely review it." ”
Jiang Chen really didn't want to listen to these non-nutritious words, so he waved his hand and smiled: "Hehe, it's okay. Who hasn't made a mistake yet, just pay attention to it in the future. ”
"That's, that's. The leader immediately replied with a smile.
"Okay, don't stay there, there are still a lot of old comrades over there who need to be taken care of, you go and get busy. Jiang Chen smiled at him.
"That Comrade Jiang. Your seat is not available. The leader pointed to the sign on the table.
Jiang Chen saw that it was really not, so he stood up a little embarrassed and walked to the back, he knew that these seats were all exquisite, and those with a small level like him were estimated to be the last seats.
"Comrade Jiang, your seat is not over there, it's over here. The leader hurriedly shouted.
Jiang Chen stopped and turned to look in the direction that the leader was pointing, and said with some confusion: "Are you sure it's there?"
"Can't be wrong, these names have been verified many times by the staff. Your seat is at that table. ”
Jiang Chen didn't speak, but followed the leader to the table and found that his name was on it. He was taken aback. As we all know, the order of this seat has been carefully arranged, and who sits on the seat and who sits down is particular. And Jiang Chen's seat is next to the second table, isn't this putting him in the fire. Sitting here at his age and his qualifications is probably baked in the eyes of everyone. So he hurriedly refused: "My Jiang Chen is still young, so it's really not suitable to sit here." ”
"It's up to the leaders above to decide where you sit there, and since they think it's right for you to sit here, you're suitable. The leader began to push Jiang Chen towards the table.
When the two are entangled. The people in the hall all stood up and applauded, and in the applause of everyone, Deputy Director Song and a cadre of leaders walked in. It was not appropriate for Jiang Chen to move at this time. So he walked up to the chair and applauded everyone under the watchful eye of an old guy at the table.
Under the pressure of Deputy Director Song, everyone sat down one after another. And the old guy at the table also looked at Jiang Chen with interest, and an old guy next to him touched Jiang Chen lightly and whispered, "Young man, are you doing the wrong thing." ”
At this time, the leader above began to speak, Jiang Chen ignored this person and turned his head to listen intently to the leader's support. He was the political commissar of this former enemy command, surnamed Shi. He was about 60 years old, and the old man was very talkative and humorous, which attracted bursts of applause from everyone present.
This old guy saw that Jiang Chen ignored him, so he glared at Jiang Chen and snorted lightly and ignored him. Looks like this one must be thinking. The old man is kind enough to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs, so be it. After Political Commissar Shi finished speaking, Deputy Director Song continued to say two sentences, and the general meaning was nothing more than to deal with difficulties, adapt to the environment, and work hard to do more work for the basic troops, do practical things, and so on. After he finished speaking, he entered the banquet part.
The people at the table with Jiang Chen were all old guys, and after talking to Jiang Chen for a few words, they left him alone. It starts with other old guys chatting and drinking. And Jiang Chen ignored them and ate the dishes on the table alone. To be honest, many of these Jiang Chen have never eaten, whether it is in this life or in the previous life. This guy couldn't stop chopsticks at all, and he couldn't care about the image of the sea and ate it. And the old guys at the same table with him were very restrained because of their face and image, and they could only stare at Jiang Chen angrily.
After a period of reminiscence, the leaders at the first table began to get up and toast each table. And Jiang Chen is the second table, so they bear the brunt. Maybe the first few tables are more important, so the leaders didn't divert and came over. And the old guys looked at Jiang Chen with a smile, as if they were waiting to watch a good show.
After saluting these old guys who were introduced one by one, it was finally Jiang Chen's turn, and Jiang Chen also stood up and waited for the leaders to speak.
Deputy Director Song on the side raised his wine glass and smiled and introduced to the surprised Political Commissar Shi: "Old Shi, let me introduce you, this Xiao Jiang is the most capable soldier under me." ”
"Oh, Comrade Xiao Jiang, welcome to Spring City. Political Commissar Shi shook hands with Jiang Chen curiously.
Deputy Director Song on the side continued: "Don't look at him young, but he has made a lot of achievements. The 120 bazooka you use, the jungle camouflage, the two high-precision sniper rifles and the ZB82 gun family that the fighters like are all developed by him. ”
The more Political Commissar Shi listened, the more surprised he became, and after listening to the introduction, he shook Jiang Chen's hand vigorously and shook it several times in surprise: "Okay, good, we need talents like you, Old Song, you gave me such a big surprise." ”
"Haha, I'll have treated you old man badly. Deputy Director Song said proudly.
Political Commissar Shi raised his wine glass and said to Jiang Chen with a smile: "Come on, Xiao Jiang, I will toast you." I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve good results. We will strive to make more contributions to our grassroots commanders and fighters. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. Jiang Chen hurriedly raised his wine glass and finished it first, expressing his respect for the old general in this way of 'doing it first for respect'.
After drinking, the old general patted Jiang Chen's shoulder vigorously and then laughed and walked to the next table, while Deputy Director Song also patted Jiang Chen and followed. After Jiang Chen reacted and sat down, he saw a group of old guys all staring at Jiang Chen with shocked eyes. (To be continued......)
