Wen Xiuzhi said sullenly: "Well, according to the original plan, I planned to go to the Central Plains Province below to become the commander of the military region, but now it seems that ...... It's a bit of a change. ”

"Change?" Xu Yan was a little surprised: "What happened?" ”

Wen Xiuzhi glanced at Xu Yan deeply, with helplessness in his eyes: Originally, Wen Xiuzhi planned to listen to the advice of the old man and Xu Yan and go down to the grassroots level to lead the troops, but what happened to Xu Yan today woke up Wen Xiuzhi: he just spread the news that he was leaving, and before he really left, people would immediately come to check his old bottom and turn over his own accounts. At that time, if he really leaves the military intelligence system, without the protection of this special identity, will the other party not take a magnifying glass to find fault with him?

Secret front work, this is a field that is not subject to the law. He has been engaged in intelligence work for many years, and many of the things he handles are relatively sensitive, and if someone really wants to find fault with himself -- to put it mildly, he really has to be judged strictly according to the law, and Wen Xiuzhi feels that it is a light sentence to sentence himself indefinitely.

Gao Min is an old subordinate who has been with him for many years, why did he betray himself? Wen Xiuzhi estimated that it was mostly because of rumors that he was leaving, Gao Min felt that he could not protect himself, so he had to sell himself to protect himself - if he was still in the position of the director of the Fourth Bureau, it is estimated that he would not have such a different heart.

It seems that the old man is still very discerning, and he is so right: the military intelligence system, it is easy to get in, but it is difficult to get out!

These things are too complicated, Wen Xiuzhi didn't want to tell Xu Yan, he shook his head: "This matter is still undecided, let's go back and talk about it." ”

Wen Xiuzhi sent Xu Yan back to the city. The accommodation he arranged for Xu Yan was still the original Grand Hyatt Hotel.

Sent Xu Yan to the hotel lobby, Wen Xiuzhi apologized to Xu Yan. I came out on leave, and I had to go back to the National Defense University in the afternoon to report for duty. I didn't have time to eat with Xu Yan at noon, and now I had to rush back to the military academy to report immediately. Otherwise, being late will be recorded on the attendance record, which is afraid that it will affect the results of this training.

Wen Xiuzhi was already a dignified colonel director, but he was still so jealous of the training discipline of the military academy, Xu Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised-he was just an instructor of the military academy, so he was obedient to the four young men of the dignified Wen family. With the strength of the Wen family in both the military and the government, can't they still settle a few school instructors?

Hearing Xu Yan's doubts, Wen Xiuzhi smiled bitterly and said, "That's not what I said—instructors, they are nothing big about them personally. But behind them is the order and discipline of our troops, and they represent this system -- don't say that I am just a colonel, even those major generals and lieutenant generals, when it is their turn to train at the military academy, they have to obediently obey the discipline of the military academy and attend classes and train on time. ”

Facing Xu Yan, Wen Xiuzhi could only say this, deeper words. He had no way to say to Xu Yan: In military academies and party schools, they must be strictly managed, and the purpose is to cultivate discipline and obedience.

Because, to an official at the level of Wen Xiuzhi. Whether it is in the army or in the locality, they are basically the officials who live in the eight seats and preside over one side. The usual prestige must be indispensable. According to the old man, the organization gathered these people for training. It's about getting rid of their bad habits and re-teaching them the rules -- to put it bluntly. It's just a killing stick, so that everyone remembers that power is given by the organization, and recognise what kind of thing you are - don't look at these officials who seem to be very powerful below, but in the eyes of the organization, you are just an ordinary little student!

Therefore, even if he is a general, in the military academy, he has to abide by the discipline of the school -- whoever dares to disobey the discipline of training is to challenge the dignity of the organization and to die for himself. This common sense, the children of the Wen family have long had it, and it is impossible for Wen Xiuzhi to make such a simple mistake.

Because of the tight time, Wen Xiuzhi didn't even have time to eat lunch before leaving, and Xu Yan went into the room alone to rest.

He sat alone on the edge of the bed and looked at the cityscape in front of the window in a daze - when he was censored, Xu Yan still had a clear goal, that is, to fight wits and courage with the censors of the political office, but now, after he was freed, Xu Yan didn't know what to do?

Since there is nothing to do, let's go to cultivation - Xu Yan thinks so, but it is strange to say, when the Shanhezhuang Scenic Area was censored, in such a harsh environment, Xu Yan was able to enter and meditate smoothly, and enter the cultivation realm freely, but today, back in the bustling urban area, his body has been free again, and Xu Yan can't cultivate freely - just like today, when he was cultivating, Xu Yan felt a burst of inexplicable impetuousness and impulse, and his qi pulse was not smooth.

In the end, he realized that this was probably the bottleneck of cultivation that Zhu Youxiang had mentioned to him - on the cultivation path, not always smooth sailing, and on the cultivation path, there would often be slow progress or even regression, which was the so-called cultivation bottleneck.

As for how to overcome this bottleneck of practice? Xu Yan didn't know, and Zhu Youxiang didn't tell him clearly - Xu Yan estimated that this was mostly because Zhu Youxiang didn't know how to deal with it.

After meditating a few times, he still couldn't settle down, and in the end, Xu Yan simply gave up his cultivation, he stood up and looked at the blue sky outside the window in a daze. Then, he wanted to go out for a walk, but found that he really didn't seem to be interested in those attractions in the capital, whether it was the attractions he had visited a few days ago or the attractions he had never visited, Xu Yan had no interest, and he couldn't raise any energy. He sat in front of the window, looking at the tall buildings in the distance, looking at the busy streets downstairs, looking at the hazy sky outside the window, no matter what he looked at, all he could think of was the figure of the heroic girl.

In those days with Zhu Youxiang, Xu Yan didn't feel anything at the time, but now that he recalls it, he is full of warmth and warmth. Xu Yan sat in front of the window and watched the sunset in the city, in the golden sunset, he seemed to see Zhu Youxiang's figure and pretty face, and tears moistened his eyes. He whispered a poem he had heard a long time ago:

You are by my side, you are a qiē;

You're not with me, it's you......

When the sun went down, Xu Yan had already decided in his heart: he should go back to Jincheng.

I came to the capital this time. originally wanted to help Wen Xiuzhi; But now, Wen Xiuzhi has gotten out of the woods. I don't need myself anymore. Zhu Youxiang also left herself, Xu Yan felt. It's not interesting to stay in the capital any longer.

After leaving Jincheng for so long, Xu Yan began to miss his hometown - from the capital to Japan, from Tokyo to Hakone, and after fighting like this, he really felt physically and mentally tired.

After such a thrilling adventure, Xu Yan now begins to feel that it is really good to be an honest college student who reads and picks up girls in school.

Those who wander around the campus to read. Looking forward to the girl's life, I felt that life was too dull at that time, but after experiencing this experience, Xu Yan began to feel its preciousness.

"Now that I'm a sophomore, I still have two years to go before I graduate, and my college career is running out. College life, this is a rare life experience, I should cherish this youthful campus time! If you use the time you should have spent studying to wander and take risks in society, you will look back on it in the future. Isn't that a pity! ”

This thought suddenly popped up in Xu Yan's mind, and then, like a weed that emerges from the ground after a spring rain, it grows rapidly and uninhibited. Soon it took over his whole thoughts, and his homesickness grew stronger and stronger, and finally he couldn't bear it.

"It's decided. I'll be back tomorrow! Whether it's a natural disaster or a censorship. These troubles have nothing to do with me - from now on. I'm just an ordinary college student who reads honestly and doesn't listen to anything outside the window. ”

After making up his mind to go home, Xu Yan suddenly made up his mind. He originally thought that he had always been entertained by Wen Xiuzhi when he came to the capital, so when he went back this time, should he call Wen Xiuzhi to say hello?

But then, Xu Yan came to his senses: "This call can't be made!" Once this call is made, Wen Xiuzhi will definitely not let himself go! "--Wen Xiuzhi's techniques and methods, Xu Yan has seen too much. Obviously, he hoped that he could stay in the capital to help him do things and become his confidant and confidant.

Xu Yan had already made up his mind, and he would not call Wen Xiuzhi until he returned to Jincheng to inform him - at that time, even if Wen Xiuzhi was unwilling, he couldn't take a plane to Jincheng in person to capture himself back to the capital, right?

At that moment, Xu Yan wrote a letter on the hotel's letterhead, intending to send it to Wen Xiuzhi when he left. In the letter, Xu Yan expressed his sincere gratitude for the hospitality provided by Chinese Xiuzhi during this trip to Beijing, but he said that because he was physically and mentally exhausted, he needed to leave the capital and go home to recuperate, and hoped that Director Wen would forgive him for not saying goodbye.

After the letter was written, Xu Yan checked it and nodded with satisfaction. He was contemplating whether to leave the letter at the counter or send it to the post office to send it - but then his cell phone rang.

Suddenly hearing the mobile phone ringtone, Xu Yan was slightly taken aback: he was a thief, and he thought that Wen Xiuzhi had called him to keep a guest! Fortunately, the phone number was completely unknown, so Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "Hey~ Hello, who is it?" ”

A very gentle female voice came from the phone: "Hello, may I ask, is it Mr. Xu?" When the word "sir" was spoken, the female voice hesitated, showing a bit of timidity.

Xu Yan frowned slightly, the female voice sounded a little familiar to him, but it was not Huang Xi, he couldn't remember who the other party was for a while.

"I'm Xu Yan, excuse me, who are you~~?"

Hearing Xu Yan's self-confession, the female voice on the other end of the phone seemed very happy, and her voice also raised a lot: "Mr. Xu, hello, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Yanran...... Uh, the last time we met at the Xiangzhou Club, we had dinner together, and Director Wen introduced us to the one we knew - that, Mr. Xu, do you remember me? ”

Hearing this voice and introducing himself, Xu Yan was suddenly dumbfounded—how could he forget it? Last time, the night I met Zhao Yanran at the Xiangzhou Club, I left a very deep impression on Xu Yan, which can be called unforgettable. It's just that Xu Yan has always thought that between an ordinary college student like himself and a popular female star like the other party, the two sides live in a completely different world, separated by a bottomless chasm, and the encounter that night was just an inadvertent chance encounter in the lives of both parties, and since then everyone has nothing to do with each other in this life, but what he didn't expect was that after returning from Japan, the other party took the initiative to find him again.

Thinking of the experience that night, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a little shy, and he coughed dryly: "Oh, it's Miss Zhao, of course I remember." Hello hello - what's the matter, what's the matter with me? ”

The female voice on the other end of the phone looked a little disgusted: "What, Mr. Xu, can't I look for you if it's okay?" I miss you, can't I give you a call? ”

Hearing Zhao Yanran's coquettishness, Xu Yan only felt goosebumps on the skin on his body - his current state of mind was very uncomfortable with playing with girls like this. Xu Yan held the microphone, but did not answer, and let the silence last for five seconds before he slowly and calmly repeated the words again: "So, Miss Zhao, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

may also feel the Yan sù flavor contained in Xu Yan's words, Zhao Yanran hesitated, and her tone became serious: "Mr. Xu, this, are you still in the capital now?" ”

"Yes, I'm still in the capital."

Hearing Xu Yan say that he was in the capital, Zhao Yanran suddenly became happy: "Mr. Xu, I don't know if you have any arrangements tonight?" I want to treat you to a meal, I wonder if you appreciate your face? ”

"Eat?" Xu Yan frowned slightly, he was a little confused: "Why did you invite me to dinner?" Is there anything special? ”

"Hehe," Zhao Yanran smiled, and a silver bell-like laugh came: "There's nothing special, can't I invite you to dinner?" Mr. Xu, aren't we friends? Isn't it normal and ordinary for friends to meet for a meal? ”

Xu Yan hesitated slightly-according to ordinary people's thoughts, a beautiful woman took the initiative to call to invite dinner, what a beautiful thing, and the other party is also a well-known idol star in the country, this kind of dinner, it is a good thing that many people can't dream of!

But when Xu Yan suddenly heard this invitation, his first reaction was: This is a very troublesome matter!

Zhao Yanran and herself are completely different people in different worlds, the other party is a person in Vanity Fair, hot, Xu Yan is very reluctant to have any contact with her - and Xu Yan also has a bit of vanity that belongs to a young man. From the last encounter, he could see that Zhao Yanran was afraid that he regarded himself as a great person. If I had been in contact with her a lot, it would be difficult to guarantee that she would not see through it and know the identity of my genuine ** silk, and everyone would be embarrassed at that time.

Xu Yan groaned: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhao, I still have arrangements tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time." Next time, let's get back in touch next time! ”

Hearing Xu Yan say that she was not free tonight, Zhao Yanran didn't seem surprised, as if she had been mentally prepared for rejection, but she immediately asked: "So, Mr. Xu, what about tomorrow night?" Are you free tomorrow night? We'll make an appointment tomorrow night, do you think it's okay? ”

Xu Yan had a headache, and he was really a little overwhelmed by this Miss Zhao Yanran's perseverance.

"I'm going to go to another place tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be free for a while, Miss Zhao, I'm sorry to ......"

"Mr. Xu!" As if afraid that Xu Yan would say something categorically refused, Zhao Yanran hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, actually, I have been wanting to contact you to meet me for a while. It's just that a few days ago, when I called you, I always said that your phone didn't work. I thought, you've been busy with something very important, right? I managed to get through to you today—but please give me a chance, anyway? As long as it's convenient for you, you can do it tonight, tomorrow night, or whatever time you schedule, please! ”

Xu Yan frowned slightly-in Zhao Yanran's words, he heard a sincere plea, Zhao Yanran pleaded with himself so pitifully, regardless of his status as a star, Xu Yan couldn't stand it. Xu Yan's heart softened, and he coughed dryly: "In that case...... Then, Miss Zhao, we might as well make an appointment tonight. Tomorrow, I'm going back to Jincheng! ”
