As soon as Chen Qiang returned to New York, Ambassador Gu came to his door.

"Ambassador Gu, you're a rare guest!" Chen Qiang led Ambassador Gu to the living room, and after the guests were seated, they served tea.

"Ambassador Gu, try this tea, the new tea of West Lake Longjing, a gift from our Chinese delegation when I went to the London Olympics." Chen Qiang said.

Chen Qiang paid a large amount of money for the Chinese delegation, the delegation's food and accommodation during the period in London, as well as the ferry ticket to return to China, were bought by Chen Qiang, and the delegation in order to express its gratitude to Chen Qiang, so he selected the best tea from China and gave it to Chen Qiang, including the West Lake Longjing.

Ambassador Gu is a native of Jiading and a scholarly family, so he can naturally understand this West Lake Longjing, but at this time, Ambassador Gu had no intention of drinking tea, and he didn't taste it at all.

After the two exchanged a few words, Chen Qiang asked, "Ambassador Gu came this time, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

"General Chen Jian, you participated in the London Olympics this time, won the gold medal in Liangme, and once again won glory for the country, so the government intends to give you a commendation, and I came this time to invite you to return to China and accept the commendation." Ambassador Gu spoke.

Chen Qiang put down the teacup, smiled slightly, and then said: "Ambassador Gu, I have also heard about the situation in China, in the past few months, there have been three major battles in China, and the final result is definitely more familiar to you than me." The general trend is unstoppable, maybe when I go back, Nanjing City will change hands! You asked me to go back at this time, it's not as simple as awarding a medal, it's pushing me into the fire pit! ”

"Well...... this" Ambassador Gu smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, although the current war situation is a little unfavorable for our side, but in the future, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory, and the Americans will not sit idly by, the United States is the most powerful country in the world, with the most powerful army, once they are willing to send troops......"

"Ambassador Gu, you are our most senior Chinese diplomat, you should know that if the Americans were willing to make a move, they would have done so a long time ago!" Chen Qiang interrupted Ambassador Gu's words.

Ambassador Gu also knows that the situation in China is still very chaotic, Chen Qiang is living well in the United States, not to mention rich and powerful, and President Truman is covered, so it is indeed difficult for Chen Qiang to return to China at this time.

So Ambassador Gu said: "General Chen, since you are not willing to return to China for the time being, then I will not force it much, but I still have a reluctant request." ”

"Ambassador Gu, please speak." Chen Qiang said.

"If anyone else wants to invite Jian Chen to return to China, I hope you don't agree." Ambassador Gu spoke.

Of course, Chen Qiang knew which side Ambassador Gu was referring to by "others".

In this regard, Chen Qiang just smiled and did not say anything, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slightly.

Ambassador Gu has been a diplomat all his life, and his ability to observe words and expressions is naturally first-class, although Chen Qiang did not answer at this time, Ambassador Gu had already guessed Chen Qiang's answer.

"Hey......" Ambassador Gu knew that people's hearts were the most difficult to fathom, so he sighed helplessly and had to get up and say goodbye.

Chen Qiang sent Ambassador Gu to the door, looking at his departing back, but his heart was full of emotion.

Although the domestic war is not over yet, it can be regarded as the overall situation has been decided, and the side that is doomed to defeat has begun to plan a retreat, and they will take away not only wealth, but also talent. Wealth does not have long legs, whoever holds it will run with whom, but talent is different, many talents are unwilling to stay away from their homeland to be islanders, a battle for talent has begun. It is precisely because of this that Ambassador Gu personally came to Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang could even predict that in the next two or three years, this Ambassador Gu would definitely come to the door many times.

Two days later, Mr. Situ also sent someone over and invited Chen Qiang over.

Mr. Situ only returned to New York from China in October last year, when Chen Qiang was still in Europe just after the London Olympics.

"Two days ago, when you just came back from Europe, I was going to look for you, but I was worried that you would be tired from the journey, so I waited two days, and I think you should rest now!" Mr. Situ said with a smile.

"Actually, I didn't feel too tired, and I came back and slept for a day." Chen Qiang paused, and then asked, "What do you have to tell me that Mr. is looking for me?" ”

"I stayed in China for two years, and during that time I made some political claims, which you should have heard of. When I set off for China, the war situation in China was still uncertain, but in January this year, the situation in China was relatively clear, and I received a letter from China. Mr. Situ handed a letter to Chen Qiang and said, "China invites me to go back and attend the People's Consultative Conference." ”

Chen Qiang opened the letter and read it carefully, the general content was to invite Mr. Situ to return to China to discuss the formation of the people's government, and finally the great man personally signed it.

"Sir is going to return to China?" Chen Qiang asked.

"We Chinese, pay attention to a fallen leaf to return to the roots, I have been adrift in the United States all my life, I should go back, at my age, the soil is buried to the neck, there are no years to live, I don't want to die in a foreign country." Mr. Szeto replied.

"Mr. said with a smile, Mr. will live a long life." Chen Qiang said.

"I don't expect to live a long life, I can go back to my hometown for a few years of peace, and I'm satisfied. So this time when I go back to China, if there are no accidents, I don't plan to leave again. Mr. Situ paused, and then said, "But you, do you plan to stay in the United States forever?" ”

"You want me to go back with you?" Chen Qiang immediately asked.

"Will you come back with me?" Mr. Szeto asked.

"I'm willing to go back!" Chen Qiang blurted out without hesitation, but as soon as the words came out, Chen Qiang regretted it a little.

Chen Qiang is not alone, he can go wherever he goes, he has no worries at all, he has a wife and children now, if he wants to return to China to settle down, Esther and children are things he must consider.

After all, the living conditions in China are not as good as those in the United States, and the supply of materials is not as abundant as in the United States, Chen Qiang can overcome the difficult living conditions, but Esther, a native of the United States, is afraid that he will not be able to adapt to life in China, and Chen Qiang does not want his wife and children to return to China with him to suffer.

Moreover, Chen Qiang has earned a lot of money in the United States, he is a Nike sporting goods company, and he has an NBA team, which are all careers that Chen Qiang cannot easily give up.

What's more, with Chen Qiang's understanding of history, he knows that in the next few decades, China's development path will not be smooth sailing, and there will be many setbacks and thorns on the way. Chen Qiang has no ability to change, but he also doesn't want to be implicated.

Mr. Situ on the other side waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry to agree first." You are different from me, an old man, I am this age, what else can I not give up! But you are still young, you have married an American daughter-in-law, and you have a family and a business in the United States, and it is natural for you to want to stay in the United States. But there is one thing, I still have to tell you in advance, the people over there also asked me to bring you a message, if you want to go back to China, you can do so at any time, you will definitely be welcome there. ”

Mr. Situ is 81 years old, for him, career or anything is no longer important, it doesn't matter if the domestic living conditions are poor, in order to return to China to settle down, he can give up a lot, his biggest wish now is to be able to return to his roots.

Mr. Situ also knows that Chen Qiang's situation is different from him, Chen Qiang has a family and a career in the United States, which can be described as a mixed wind and water, everything Chen Qiang has in the United States cannot be given in China, and it is indeed difficult for a person in his thirties to give up his career and start from scratch. Therefore, Mr. Situ did not force Chen Qiang to return to China with him, and if Chen Qiang planned to continue to stay in the United States, Mr. Situ could also understand.

……

Late at night, Chen Qiang lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and he didn't know whether he should follow Mr. Situ back to China.

As Mr. Situ said, Chen Qiang is different from Mr. Situ, Chen Qiang has too many things that are difficult to give up, and it is impossible for him to give up everything and then return to China to settle down like Mr. Situ.

"Maybe I should be like Mr. Situ, and be content with the pursuit of a fallen leaf and return to the roots. Besides, I'm still young, so I will definitely have no problem living another thirty or forty years, and even if I stay in the United States now, I can wait until after the reform and opening up to go back. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Qiang let out a long sigh, he turned over on the bed, but his heart was a little sour, it was reluctance to the motherland.

"Now China, a poor and white, is really a waste to be rebuilt, all walks of life need talents, the domestic sports industry almost has to develop from scratch, if I go back, at least can help China's sports industry, less detours for a few years. Isn't that what I learned in my last life? ”

Until dawn, Chen Qiang did not fall asleep, and in his heart, there was a fierce ideological struggle.

Esther woke up, she was going to make breakfast for Chen Qiang, but found that Chen Qiang was lying on the bed with dark circles under his eyes, his eyes staring at the ceiling.

"Didn't you sleep all night?" Esther asked.

Chen Qiang nodded.

"Got something upset?" Esther asked.

"I don't know if I should go back to China or not." Chen Qiang replied.

"Going back to China to settle down? Isn't there a war going on there? Esther asked, puzzled.

"The war is almost over, and China will soon have peace." Chen Qiang replied.

"If safety isn't an issue, I don't think it matters where I live. When we went to Europe before, wasn't it good! Esther spoke.

Chen Qiang smiled slightly, Esther probably felt that settling in China was similar to when he visited European countries before, just like traveling, eating and drinking every day, and visiting scenic spots and feeling the local customs.

"Esther, this is different from when I was in Europe, China is not as developed as Europe, and compared to Europe, China is much poorer and more backward. China also does not have sufficient supplies, and most of the people there have not even solved the problem of food and clothing. Chen Qiang replied.

"We have money, can't we buy anything?" Esther asked innocently.

"You're right, China is too poor, and you may not be able to buy things if you have money." Chen Qiang let out a long sigh and continued: "What's more, in terms of ideology, China is also different from the United States, and it can even be said that it is hostile to each other. Do you understand the meaning of hostility? Treat each other as enemies, just as the United States did with Japan during the war. ”

"You mean, there will be a war between China and the United States?" Esther asked, a little frightened.

"Yes, maybe it won't be long before there will be a war between China and the United States, and the location of the war may be on the periphery of China." Chen Qiang said.

"If China is so poor and there is still a war, then why do you want to go back?" Esther asked.

"Because I'm Chinese!" Chen Qiang blurted out without thinking, this was his subconscious answer.

In the next second, Chen Qiang suddenly realized that deep in his heart, he had already made a decision.

Wife, son, career, money, reputation...... Chen Qiang has a lot in the United States, and these are his fetters, which can be used as a reason for him to stay in the United States.

And Chen Qiang returned to China for only one reason: he is Chinese!

That's all there is to it!

"I've decided, I'm going back to China!" Chen Qiang said resolutely.
