Chapter 50: Surprise and Inexplicability
"Stand uprightβsaluteβ"
With Zheng Yi's order, more than 500 officers and soldiers of the garrison battalion neatly lined up under the rising sun saluted, and all eyes were focused on the Ford sedan slowly parked at the edge of the playground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Adjutant Xu, who was full of smiles, skillfully got out of the passenger cab, squeezed his eyes at Zheng Yi, and then went over to open the rear door, and Yu Feipeng, who was wearing a gray-blue tweed military uniform and three scalp shoes, got out of the carriage, came to Zheng Yi unhurriedly, and solemnly glanced at the more than 500 officers and soldiers in neat formation and standard movements, and slowly raised his hand to salute back: "Very good, disband." β
"Yes!"
Zheng Yi loudly announced the disbandment, turned around and came to Yu Feipeng's side, and took the initiative to salute the young officer behind the solemn side: "It's Brother Wu, I've been looking forward to you for a long time...... Xiao Du, send Section Chief Wu's luggage to the dormitory. β
"Yes!"
The capable and witty Xiao Du responded loudly, went around and saluted Wu Zhonghan respectfully, snatched the burden in Wu Zhonghan's hand without saying anything, and then went to Adjutant Xu to take the exquisite travel suitcase and send it to the officer's dormitory on the side of the office.
Wu Zhonghan, who was of medium stature and fair skin, stepped forward and saluted Zheng Yi back: "I have admired Brother Zheng's name for a long time, please give me more advice in the future!" β
Zheng Yi saw at a glance the habits of the young master that Wu Zhonghan couldn't get rid of, and then looked at his hesitant behavior, listened to his pretended reserved words, and understood that this was a difficult person to serve, but Zheng Yi still had a very natural and friendly smile on his face, and enthusiastically stepped forward to grab Wu Zhonghan's hand and shook it tightly: "Brother, don't be polite to me, you will get used to it after a few days, haha!" β
Yu Feipeng, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but shake his head slightly, very dissatisfied with Wu Zhonghan's performance.
Adjutant Xu still had a smile on his face, but he despised Young Master Wu in his heart, thinking that you kid is too pretentious, Zheng Yi, as your boss, took the initiative to salute you, a new subordinate, but you didn't even smile, no wonder you didn't have a friend.
Zheng Yike didn't care what everyone thought, he pulled Wu Zhonghan back to Yu Feipeng: "Please Uncle Shi go to the office for a cup of tea first, and then look around when you're done, you haven't been here for a while, it's best to give a lecture to the brothers." β
"Drill, go to your office, you can lead Deputy Section Chief Wu to his dormitory to settle down." After Yu Feipeng finished speaking, he walked to Zheng Yi's office.
Seeing Zheng Yi scratching his head in embarrassment, Adjutant Xu smiled and motioned for Zheng Yi to follow, and took the initiative to accompany Wu Zhonghan, who was quite embarrassed, to his dormitory.
Zheng Yi, who was quick with his hands and feet, made four cups of tea and helped Yu Feipeng, who was looking around, to the main seat.
Yu Feipeng took the fragrant tea offered by Zheng Yi's hands, and as soon as he opened the lid of the white porcelain cup, a unique fragrance spread: "You actually have a phoenix single fir here, it seems to be a new tea, where did it come from?" β
"A few days ago, when I went into the city to do business, I occasionally encountered it, the new tea that had just been listed, so to say that the tea shop shopkeeper only sold me two cans, adding up to less than a catty, saying that the weather has been dry since the beginning of spring this year, and the new tea production has been reduced in a large area, and he personally ran to Chaozhou to get five catties, and I will ask Adjutant Xu to bring you a can back later." After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he sat down on the chair on the side.
Yu Feipeng smiled with satisfaction: "Knowing that your kid is rich, I will accept it!" Your Wu Shige has a somewhat introverted personality, he is young and has no achievements, and he likes to put on a show, I have said many times that I haven't seen any progress from him, alas...... Be more forgiving, and don't let outsiders see the joke. β
Zheng Yile was happy: "You are too worried, who of today's young people doesn't have a little personality?" What's more, Brother Wu is so young, and there is a lot of room for improvement, maybe one day it will impress you. β
Yu Feipeng sighed and put down the teacup: "You are half a year younger than him, why don't you have to worry about me?" This person is really infuriating than humans! β
Zheng Yi was stunned for a while, only to realize that he was only twenty years old now, not thirty years old, and secretly exhaled with emotion, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and saw Adjutant Xu striding in, and hurriedly asked Adjutant Xu to sit down, picked up another cup of tea and sent it over: "Brother Xu, wait a minute, I'll go inside to get a pot of tea, and you can help Uncle Yu bring it back." β
Adjutant Xu nodded frequently, glanced at Zheng Yi who entered the room, and approached Yu Feipeng to report in a low voice: "Xiao Zheng really has nothing to say to himself, the dormitory prepared for Zhonghan is spacious and tidy, all the utensils such as wardrobes, desks, basins, pens and inks are new, and on the mahogany bed is a brand-new old Nanzhu high-end mat, a bamboo silk pillow and a kapok pillow, as well as a neatly folded British \ domestic blanket, the desk is neatly placed with American\domestic security razors and a full set of toiletries, and the rubber slippers made in Nanyang are placed at the bottom of the bed, Too meticulous and thoughtful! β
Yu Feipeng sighed with emotion after hearing this, and saw Zheng Yi coming back with a delicate carved tea canister, nodded silently and said nothing, picked up the teacup and slowly drank a few sips: "The headquarters has been busy recently, I have to rush back, there is a preparatory meeting in the afternoon, call if there is anything." β
Zheng Yi glanced at the smiling Adjutant Xu, and had to send Yu Feipeng to the car, Wu Zhonghan trotted over at this time, helped his glasses, and looked at Yu Feipeng respectfully, Yu Feipeng just nodded and got into the car.
The car went away, and Zheng Yi pulled Wu Zhonghan, who looked at the courtyard gate with an uneasy expression: "Let's go, go to the office to have tea, let's meet for the first time today, let's talk well...... Xiao Du, you instructed the secretary to add vegetables tonight and welcome our section chief Wu. β
Wu Zhonghan was a little moved, silently followed Zheng Yi into the office, after sitting down, he habitually looked around, saw Zheng Yi bring himself a cup of tea, nodded subconsciously, pointed to the table in front of him and asked, "Is this the desk left for me?" β
Zheng Yi sat down with a smile, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Your position is temporary, at most two months, you will sit in my position." β
Wu Zhonghan asked puzzledly, "How is this possible?" Are you going to be transferred out of the Ordnance Section? β
Zheng Yi was deeply disappointed by Wu Zhonghan's understanding, but he still had a cordial smile on his face: "Once the Northern Expedition is waved, I will have to follow Uncle Yu Shishu in front of the saddle, and with the current combat effectiveness of our revolutionary army and the position of the two armies of Hunan and Gui Provinces, there will be no problem in defeating the divided Hunan Province, and our first military station may be located in Changsha." β
Wu Zhonghan pondered for a long time, and finally understood, thought about it, pointed to Xiao Du on the side, and made a request to Zheng Yi: "I think this Xiao Du is very good, he is quick with his hands and feet, he is knowledgeable, he is a rare good soldier, if you are willing to do it, let him go to me." β
Zheng Yi was worried, and embarrassed to refute Wu Zhonghan's face, looked at Xiao Du with a surprised face, and pretended to laugh generously:
"Since my brother likes Xiao Du, let him follow his brother, but Xiao Du is not a soldier, yesterday Uncle Yu Shi has approved the promotion application of our Ordnance Section, and it will be officially followed in these two days, Xiao Du's military rank is warrant officer, and it is basically qualified to be an adjutant and guard for my brother."
Wu Zhonghan was very happy, and rarely stood up and hugged his fists to thank him, Zheng Yi waved his hand and said that he was not polite, turned around and opened the filing cabinet, and ordered Xiao Du to call several chief and deputy company commanders, and then took out a pile of rules and regulations and inventory ledgers and put them on the table, and began to hand over military affairs to Wu Zhonghan, who was full of interest.
At noon, Wu Zhonghan basically understood the current situation and unique division of labor of the Ordnance Section, and figured out the work procedures and inventory situation, and after Zheng Yi sent the main and deputy company commanders away, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and just wanted to say that it was time for lunch, the phone on the desktop rang.
Zheng Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt and picked up the earpiece: "I'm Zheng Yi...... Brother Xu, you say...... Yes? Uncle Zhou Shishu will also attend? Who has such a big face, can let my Uncle Zhou Shi and Uncle Yu Shi take time out of their busy schedules to set up banquets and entertain them...... Can you tell us about it...... Okay, let's talk about it when we meet, and Brother Wu and I will prepare immediately. β
"Who has such a big face?" Wu Zhonghan asked curiously.
Zheng Yi was also puzzled: "How do I know, Adjutant Xu is mysterious, it is estimated that he is relatives and friends from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, otherwise he would not have asked us two juniors to accompany him, it is estimated that Uncle Zhou Shi and Uncle Yu Shi asked us to show our faces and have a little more knowledge." Oh yes, Uncle Yu Shi has already sent a special car, and it is estimated that it is almost there. β
Wu Zhonghan immediately stood up: "I have to go and change into a new military uniform." β
Ten minutes later, the black Ford sedan carrying Zheng Yi and Wu Zhonghan, who were in military uniforms, entered the Dadongmen, turned south and drove straight for two miles, crossed the bustling Dongshi, turned into the Nandi Road near the Pearl River, and did not slow down when passing the yellow western-style building of the Huangpu Military Academy Preparatory Office, and drove until it stopped in front of the hundred-year-old Yuexiang Building, which was diagonally opposite the Tianzi Wharf.
The smiling Adjutant Xu had been standing at the imposing gate for a long time, and there were seven or eight luxury cars parked on both sides of the gate, and no less than a platoon of elite guards scattered around the hotel.
"The big room on the third floor, haha!"
Adjutant Xu strode over, grabbed Zheng Yi's hand that was about to salute, and called Wu Zhonghan, who was looking around, to enter the hotel gate together.
"Slow! Brother Xu, you have made such a big formation, can you tell me what is going on? Zheng Yi stopped at the top of the stairs and pulled Adjutant Xu to ask in a low voice.
Adjutant Xu smiled: "Where do I have the ability to make such a big battle?" Don't say it, you can't say it clearly for a while, and you'll know when you go up. Zhonghan, don't look at it, go upstairs. β
Zheng Yi followed Adjutant Xu upstairs quickly, the more he walked, the more surprised he became, as soon as he arrived in the hall on the third floor, he saw a few familiar graduates of the first phase of Whampoa, Yu Jishi, who is currently the captain of President Jiang's guard, also showed a mysterious smile to him, which made Zheng Yi puzzled and quite apprehensive, so he had to nod and quickly follow Adjutant Xu's footsteps, through the wide corridor with carved dragons and phoenixes, and walked towards the golden elegant room inside.
The two guards guarding the door of the large elegant room smiled at Adjutant Xu and Zheng Yi, carefully pushed open the two doors, and invited a few people to enter.
Zheng Yi saw Zhou Junyan and Yu Feipeng who were happy at a glance, as well as Principal Jiang who had a bald head next to them, he didn't dare to think about anything at the moment, took three steps forward, raised his hand and saluted: "Report to the principal, Zheng Yi of the Quartermaster Department...... Zheng Yi ......"
Principal Jiang laughed, turned around and helped Zheng Lanting, who was extraordinary on his left side but had tears in his eyes, up: "Brother Lanting, you have a good son!" β
Zheng Lanting, who was in a suit and leather shoes, stood up slowly, two lines of old tears burst out of his eyes without arguing, looking at his son who was in a sluggish state in front of him, his mouth trembled for a long time and wanted to call "Yi'er", but he couldn't call out.
