Episode 10 Chapter 18
Xie Wendong said with a smile: "At the beginning, I was forced to go abroad, and I was also abandoned by the country, and now I am needed, and I want to go back, Minister Yuan, do you think I should go back?" ”
He said a simple sentence and kicked the question back to Yuan Hua. The latter's face sank, as the head of the Political Department, he has great authority, although his rank is only a deputy minister, but even the senior cadres of the national leadership have to be polite when they see him, for a long time, there has been no one who dares to talk to him like this, Xie Wendong is the first. He said in a deep voice: "It's not a question of whether you want to or not, but you have no choice at all. ”
"Haha!" Xie Wendong looked up and laughed, and said with a straight face: "No one can influence my decision, you can't, even if a bigger official than you comes." ”
Yuan Hua looked around and sneered: "Do you think that if you are no longer in the country, the country will not be able to punish you?" Truth be told, if you want your life, the agents can sneak in at any time and kill you without knowing it. ”
Xie Wendong shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Then let them come." I have a lot of wine, but there's no shortage of shotguns. ”
Yuan Hua's face changed, and he said sharply: "You dare to betray the country? ”
Xie Wendong's eyes narrowed, and he said: "Don't use this big hat to press me, you want to kill me, even if it's okay, whether I betrayed the country or the country betrayed me, Minister Yuan, let's tacitly!" ”
Seeing that the conversation was about to collapse, Dongfang Yi was busy playing haha and said: "Let's put out the fire first, no matter what, we are all in the same department, and we are all doing our part for the security of the country, why make trouble to the point of fighting and killing." ”
Yuan Hua's face softened, and he nodded: "I know that you are very aggrieved in your heart, but in the face of national interests, there is no way to care about personal gains and losses, you are a smart person, you should understand this." ”
Xie Wendong sighed, turned his head, facing the sea, and seemed to be sighing, but in fact, his eyes were confused, and his mind was in a hurry, and after a while, he turned his head with a bitter face, and said: "Of course I am very happy to be able to contribute to the country, but I also understand the truth of rabbit and dog cooking, I am afraid that the result of contributing to the country will be worse than now." ”
Yuan Hua was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what he meant, and said, "Are you worried that the country will abandon you like last time?" ”
Xie Wendong smiled bitterly: "If that's better, I'm afraid that the last reward for me is a bullet!" ”
Yuan Hua said: "You can rest assured of this. Collapse the soul group, under pressure from the Japanese side, the country had to make this decision and send you abroad, but this time it is different, and it has nothing to do with foreign countries. I can assure you that what you are worried about will never happen. ”
The reason why Xie Wendong behaved so tough at the beginning was because he said this.
He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the strength of your words may not be able to ......" The following words, he deliberately did not finish, waiting for Yuan Hua to take it on himself.
Sure enough, when Yuan Hua heard this, he smiled slightly, and said: "My words can represent the meaning of the prime minister, so you should rest assured!" ”
Xie Wendong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face didn't show it at all, and he still looked embarrassed: "Let me think about it, I'll give you an answer in three days, how about it?" ”
Yuan Hua thought about it, frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Dongfang Yi, who nodded slightly. Seeing this, he said, "Okay then! Dongfang and I are waiting for your news in Australia, and I hope that you will not disappoint me, let alone the country. ”
Xie Wendong smiled and said, "I will make the right choice." Minister Yuan and Brother Dongfang don't want to go back to Australia, since they have come to me, they will stay for three days, so that I can become a landlord. "Yuan Hua is leaving, how can Xie Wendong let him go, he understands how much power this minister has, and I am afraid that there will be no less place for him to rely on him in the future. He thought about it for three days, but it was true that he wanted to use these three days to get along with Yuan Hua.
Yuan Hua was still a little hesitant, and Dongfang Yi persuaded him: "Minister, I don't think it's okay to live here." As he spoke, he whispered again: "We came secretly, there is no one around, it is much safer to live in Xie Wendong than in Australia, besides, Xie Wendong is also a member of our Political Department, not an outsider." ”
Although Xie Wendong left China, his status in the Political Department has not been revoked, at least, the state has not taken back his documents from the Political Department.
Yuan Hua thought that what Dongfang Yi said was not unreasonable, nodded and said, "Okay!" He said to Xie Wendong: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, then bother." ”
Xie Wendong smiled and said, "What Minister Yuan said, it's too polite!" You and Brother Dongfang can rest assured to stay, just take a vacation, the scenery here is no worse than any scenic spot in the world! ”
There were many vacant houses on Jile Island, and Xie Wendong sent someone to pack up a villa for the two to live in. As he said, the scenery of the island of Guile is indeed beautiful, the sea is clean, unpolluted, and even the sand under his feet is white, shining silver in the sun.
On the same day, Xie Wendong asked a group of senior ladies from Australia to accompany Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi to have fun. After all, letting a large group of old men accompany them to swim and sightsee, how to look at it and feel awkward, a few more women, but also add a bit of fun.
These girls were all found from Darwin, and some of them were students, all of them young and beautiful, with golden eyes and fiery figures. Especially when they put on their bikinis, the bloody boys of the Dragon and Tiger almost popped out their eyes.
Getting a group of foreign women over, Yuan Hua felt uncomfortable at first, but later, he accepted it tacitly, he is not a lustful person, but he does not refuse things that are pleasing to the eye.
During the day, Xie Wendong greeted Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi, and he was swimming, and he visited all parts of the island, and sometimes, he got on a warship and went out to sea to fish, and after all these were played, Xie Wendong took them to other uninhabited islands to hunt, and the large animals were basically not found, but there were many birds and birds. In the evening, Xie Wendong organized a bonfire party, with all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, eating delicious food, drinking fine wine, and being accompanied by exotic beauties, even if Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi were so treacherous and slippery, and the senior officials of the Political Department who were invisible, sometimes they would get carried away and laugh.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. For Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi, the three-day experience was like a dream.
Xie Wendong has done so much, and of course he has also got the effect he wants.
After three days, Yuan Hua and his relationship were much closer, and even Yuan Hua said something to him that he shouldn't have said. For example, although the real purpose of letting him return to China this time has already been expected by Xie Wendong, he is still very satisfied with letting Yuan Hua take the initiative to tell it.
Three days later, early in the morning, Xie Wendong came to the villa where Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi lived.
Both of them are from military backgrounds, and their lives are very regular, they get up early and are having breakfast in the restaurant.
Without them asking, Xie Wendong said straight to the point that he had thought it through and decided to return to China.
Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi were naturally very happy about the decision he made, but the two of them also knew that it was time to leave, and they were really a little reluctant to give up on Jile Island in their hearts.
Xie Wendong had to take care of everything on the island before returning to China, which would take at least five days, but Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi couldn't wait so long, no one in the Political Department was in charge, and the prime minister's phone calls came one after another, urging Yuan Hua to return to China as soon as possible.
Before the two left, Xie Wendong did not forget to prepare two gifts.
Two gold medals made of pure gold, rectangular in shape, engraved with a panorama of the island of Gille on one side, and the three words of the island of Gille engraved on the other, the handwriting is made of diamonds, and on the edge of the gold medal, a circle of precious stones is inlay. Don't look at the two gold medals, which are not big, but their value, I am afraid that ordinary people can earn that number by working hard all their lives.
Xie Wendong was afraid that the two of them would have scruples and did not dare to accept it, so he first stated that this was just a souvenir, a souvenir that Jile Island put to the distinguished guests.
Yuan Hua and Dongfang Yi knew that the heavy weight of the gold medal in their hands, as well as the countless diamonds and gemstones on it, even people with no knowledge could feel the price of this thing.
As a high-ranking official of the Political Department, Yuan Hua rarely receives gifts, first, there are not many outsiders who have contact with him, and second, no one dares to give him gifts. Now that he suddenly received such a valuable gift from Xie Wendong, he couldn't react. After a while, he pushed the gold medal back to Xie Wendong and said: "Wendong's kindness, I understand it, but this thing is too valuable and easy to cause misunderstanding, so please take it back!" "Because of the good relationship in the past few days, his name for Xie Wendong has also been changed from his name at the beginning to 'Wendong'.
Dongfang Yizheng took the gold medal and looked at it repeatedly, he couldn't put it down, and after listening to his words, his shoulders sank, and his face was full of loss and returned to Xie Wendong.
Xie Wendong didn't take back the gold medal, laughed on his back, and said, "If Minister Yuan says that, it will be too outward." As I have just said, this is just a souvenir and has no other meaning. Minister Yuan doesn't think I'm bribing you! Haha, this time you came to invite me back to China, if you want to say bribery, it should be you who bribed me, how can it be the other way around? As a member of the Political Department, I have always been taken care of by Minister Yuan and Brother Dongfang, this gift, souvenir is one of them, and secondly, it is also a little bit of my heart for the two of them, so don't shirk it anymore. ”
"Yes...... Oh, yes! Dongfang Yi smiled dryly: "Minister, since Brother Xie said so, let's take it, everyone is their own person, there is no bribery or non-bribery." ”
Yuan Hua sighed, looked at the gold medal in his hand, and said that he didn't like it, it would be a lie, but a gentleman loves money, takes it in a good way, and accepts other people's heavy gifts plainly, and his heart is uneasy.
He was silent for a long time, and wanted to refuse again, Xie Wendong had already diverted the topic and said: "I have prepared the two planes to Australia, Minister Yuan can leave at any time if he wants to." ”
"Ah, okay, thank you!" Yuan Hua nodded with satisfaction, and then, holding the gold medal, handed it to Xie Wendong again, and said, "This gold medal, Wendong still ...... first."
Before he could finish speaking, Xie Wendong had already turned around and walked out, and said, "Minister Yuan, I have never taken back the things that were sent out, if you don't want it, you can throw it into the sea when you take the plane in a while." ”
"Then how can it be done...... Yuan Hua was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at Xie Wendong again, and had already walked out of the door.
Yuan Hua sighed and turned his head to look at Dongfang Yi again, who was smiling from ear to ear.
He and Dongfang Yi are old friends, they used to be comrades-in-arms who shared life and death, participated in the Vietnam War together, had a solid relationship, and were friends who talked about everything in private. He asked, "Dongfang, what are your intentions when you say that Xie Wendong is doing this?" ”
"What intentions?" Dongfang Yi smiled and said, "Of course he wants to buy us!" Don't forget, his underworld identity, he wants to sit big, and we can provide him with convenience. "Dongfang Yi is an old fox, he loves money and loves money, his head is not stupid, Xie Wendong's mind can't hide from him.
Yuan Hua nodded and said, "In this way, we can't accept this gift." ”
Dongfang Yi smiled and said: "Minister, what are you afraid of, on the premise of not harming the interests of the country, it is not impossible to give him some convenience, in this way, it will make him even more determined to do things for the country!" ”
Yuan Hua said quietly: "I'm afraid that the grandson monkey who sits on the big one will overthrow the Five Finger Mountain of Rulai!" ”
"Huh!" Dongfang Yi smiled and said: "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future!" ”
