The painting "Colorful Years" was quickly framed and hung in Fan Tianfu's office. Everyone who saw this painting, as long as they felt qualified to ask for it, opened their mouths, and Fan Tianfu politely refused.

He affectionately said to Lin Ximeng that no one would give it, it was hers. At this time, Fan Tianfu suddenly learned that he was going to be promoted.

A few days later, he began to prepare to return to the army to go through the procedures for changing jobs. Several projects are nearing completion, and next year's projects will be discussed, and the work is becoming more and more intense.

Fortunately, Tang Yuanbao has been discharged from the hospital and started working, with him in charge of the engineering department and Fan Mingfu in charge of the logistics department.

Tang Yuanbao as the director of the engineering department can be said to make the best use of his talents, although his personality often fluctuates, but the work is extremely serious and responsible, the management of workers completely use high-pressure means, murderous, ruthless.

He commented on this practice by saying that the poor rabbit had no meat to eat. He was kind and powerful to his staff, so that they were afraid of him and could not say anything.

He now washes his feet with hot water every night to help him recover from his injuries, and the task of carrying water and basins is Xiaoshun. Once there was no boiling water in the room, Xiaoshun hurried to burn it, but when it was late, he scolded him: "What are you doing to eat?" With that, he flipped a basin of hot water to the ground in front of many people.

Xiaoshun was full of grievances, so he had to endure it. At the work handover meeting the next morning, he praised Xiaoshun's recent progress in his work.

Tang Yuanbao was respectful to Fan Tianfu and Lin Ximeng, but his deference was completely different from Fan Gong.

Fan Gong is respectful from the heart, while Tang Yuanbao seems to be more out of work considerations, especially to negotiate business with Party A of the project, as long as Fan Tianfu and Lin Ximeng are present, he must hold the coat and handbag for the two bosses, like an entourage and servant.

Lin Ximeng was not used to it at first, and insisted on holding it by himself, firstly, it was not tiring, and secondly, Tang Yuanbao was older than him; Tang Yuanbao was full of words: "On this issue, you don't understand as well as me." This is called psychological tactics, think about it, when Party A looks at people of my age, they are all like this, who of them dares to despise you anymore? Wouldn't this be for our company to develop as soon as possible? This moved Lin Ximeng, and whenever he went out in the future, Tang Yuanbao would play the role of an entourage and servant to show the strength of the company.

And once he has a dispute or disagreement with Party A, he will pop out of the stomach at any time, making Party A cry and laugh, and often has to pass with a vague sloppy eye.

But the little monkey is a little monkey after all, and he can't turn the situation around, and sometimes it's inevitable that it will be self-defeating. In order to be able to smoothly transfer jobs and leave the army, Fan Tianfu has reached the point of unscrupulous means, asking Yang Wenjie to help open a fake case from the hospital, asking the military resettlement office to issue a leave certificate, and so on, almost every day is busy with these.

Lin Ximeng really didn't understand. Fan Tianfu was so obsessed with the army, loved the army, to be a general commanding thousands of troops galloping across the battlefield was his highest ideal until death, he once regretted and distressed that he could not be promoted, but now, when he learned the news that he was going to be promoted, he couldn't wait to leave the army.

That afternoon, Fan Tianfu was busy forging the last certificate at his desk, and Lin Ximeng sat opposite him, looking at the yellow military hat with red five stars on the root carving behind Fan Tianfu for a long time.

She has become accustomed to seeing this military hat every day, it is a symbol of Fan Tianfu's glorious past, it embodies all the worship of Fan Tianfu to the soldier's vocation, it has become the eternal blood in Fan Tianfu's life, and now, Fan Tianfu wants to give it up.

"Why? Tianfu, why are you doing this? Fan Tianfu put away the certificate and stood up. He took the military hat from the root carving in his hand.

He closed his lips and stared at the military hat for a long time.

"Tell me, Tianfu, I really don't understand."

"Okay," Fan Tianfu finally opened his mouth as he stared at the military hat in his hand. He looked serious, word by word, and said, "Let me tell you, to it...... In this military hat, I am full of both the most sincere love and the most bitter hatred; As bright as it is, it is as dark as it is; It filled me with hope, but it also disappointed me completely; I worship the vocation of a soldier, but I hate some people in the army......" Lin Ximeng couldn't believe his ears, and listened to him in amazement: "When I knew that I was going to be promoted, my infatuation with the army and my determination to leave the army had reached the level of incandescent contradiction. This contradiction caused me a kind of rebirth pain, and for me, the news came too late! She looked at him without blinking.

At this moment, he closed his lips tightly, and the two lips were closed until they were tightly closed into a line, as if recalling the pain of being reborn.

"Oh my God, man!" She felt so sorry for him. yes, the news came too late! She knows the pain of an ideal, and as long as there is a glimmer of hope, she should help him to achieve it.

After all, he is still young, and he can completely take the latecomer. Thinking of this, she was just about to speak, when Fan Tianfu spoke: "Now, I have made up my mind to leave the army!" Lin Ximeng looked at him motionlessly, it was already a serene face, but with an unwavering will, there was a kind of sacrosanct majesty.

She knew she couldn't say anything, so she had to ask carefully, "What made you make such a determination?" ”

"It's love." He put his military hat on the table, walked up to her, grabbed her with both hands, and fixed his eyes firmly on her: "Remember, Ximeng, I am back for you." Lin Ximeng was speechless.

Fan Tianfu hugged her tightly in his arms, sat down in a chair, and said, "Ximeng, I will drag you through the whole road of my life until I bring you to my grave." For a few days, Fan Tianfu has been in a state of excitement, he stayed with a classmate day and night, didn't care about anything, happened to see Lin Ximeng, smiled mysteriously, and left.

The classmate's name is Ma Zhengyan, because of the disease in his left eye, he is oblique to the outside, and the people behind him call him Ma squint. After graduating from university, Ma Squint worked as a financial chief in a factory, resigned due to some financial entanglements, went to a department store, and was entrusted with the decoration and operation of a hotel for less than half a month.

In the process of talking with Fan Tianfu, I learned that it was a high school classmate. When this horse squinted eyes came to Red Star for the second time, he brought a bright girl named Yao Huijuan, saying that he was an accountant, nominally to let Yao Huijuan learn from Lin Ximeng through contact with Lin Ximeng, but in fact, to raise his value.

At noon that day, Fan Tianfu invited guests, and Lin Ximeng was also present, and Ma Squinted immediately said that he would return in the evening. He asked Yao Huijuan to arrange the lowest price of food in the best hotel in Wutong to show his sincerity and show his large sum.

Lin Ximeng understood that Ma Squint had no right to do this, he had only been in that department store for half a month, and he hadn't done anything at all, he was just a hotel manager who was still chasing the wind.

Since then, Ma squinted his eyes frequently, and he kept talking, Lin Ximeng hated his eloquent but boring and empty language, as well as his conceit of selling himself and boasting of great achievements, so he used compliments to sarcastically ridicule this self-righteousness: "Talents like Manager Ma are really rare in Wutong." When Ma squinted his eyes and heard this, he immediately felt that his value had doubled, and he was a little unsteady with excitement, and immediately said: "If you don't work in such a place, but in a simple house, I will just leave, what kind of project are you talking about?" Lin Ximeng immediately kicked him out of the manager's room in his heart.

When Ma squinted and said that his current boss appreciated him very much and valued him, Lin Ximeng scolded in his heart: Unless the boss is blind.

However, the owner was not blind, and after a few days, he said that he would not open the hotel. This is the best and best excuse to get the horse squinted away.

Fan Tianfu, who had been excited for a few days, ushered in the weekend. In the corridor, he said to Lin Ximeng mysteriously, "I'm in for a treat tonight." Fan Tianfu always said yes to her

"We have a treat", and this time we deliberately emphasize one

The word "I" can be seen to be different from the past. Lin Ximeng originally thought that the two of them had not been alone together for a few days, and Fan Tianfu must have left it to her on the weekend, but she didn't expect it to be a treat again.

The customers who should be invited to engage in business work are either invited or invited. Without this, she doesn't know how many wonderful times she can enjoy with Fan Tianfu.

And now, the two of them being alone has become an endless line of treats. She asked, "Who, please?" ”

"Ma Zhengyan, Miss Yao, and a comrade-in-arms. Let's go to Liu Daguang, didn't you say that his hotel is ready to be renovated? Just go check it out. ”

"I don't want to go."

"How?" On the one hand, Lin Ximeng hated Fan Tianfu for not leaving the weekend for her, and on the other hand, because the guest invited was Ma Squint.

She hated the squint of the horse, and really didn't want to see this person, but she couldn't say it, and stood there silent.

"You have to go tonight." Fan Tianfu left this sentence with excitement on his face and left. Lin Ximeng had to call Liu Daguang to book a private room.

Liu Daguang warmly invited the guests in, and Miss Zhong quickly arranged the tea. Fan Tianfu said: "Boss Liu, tonight's mutton shabu is shabu-shabu, even you are shabu-shabu." Liu Daguang excused himself and said: "No, no, you eat and drink as much as you can here, and I will serve you gentlemen and ladies below." ”

"This won't work," Mr. Fan said.

"Boss Liu, I still owe you a glass of wine. Make it up tonight. ”

"What wine?" Liu Daguang was stunned for a moment. Fan Tianfu pointed at Lin Ximeng and said, "This is not here." Liu Daguang immediately understood, slapped his thigh, and said, "Isn't it, Lao Fan, I didn't make a mistake in introducing Teacher Lin to you, right?" Everyone burst out laughing.

Liu Daguang immediately corrected: "My 'introduction' is the meaning of recommendation, don't hear the word 'introduction', you think it is the object of introduction, you are right, Lao Fan, I will introduce it to you...... No, how about the talent I recommend to you? Fan Tianfu tilted his face, his smug expression was difficult to hide, but he pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "It's good, it's just terrible." I don't even dare to put an ashtray in my office, for fear that one day she will fall at me. "Another room full of laughter.

Liu Daguang said: "Don't say it, Mr. Lin's ashtray can smash Cao Xiaoli miserably, everyone up and down the power supply company knows it, seeing the scar left on his forehead, it seems to see the secret unsightly affair between him and Mingzhu." Fucking he was unlucky, Mingzhu cut corners and caused a liability accident that made him worse a few days ago I heard that Cao Xiaoli was removed from his post and quarantined for review. ”

"Really?" Fan Tianfu became excited,

"That old fox is unlucky this time!" Mingzhu cut corners and caused a liability accident Lin Ximeng had heard about it, but he didn't know that Cao Xiaoli was dismissed from his post and isolated for review.

She was surprised to hear the news, but she didn't say anything, and sat there listening to everyone laugh. Liu Daguang said: "A talent like Teacher Lin, it's not me who blows, Lao Fan, you can't find it with a lantern anymore." Ma squinted his eyes and looked eager to try, sat unsteadily, and said casually: "Yes, Manager Lin is indeed a talent." Fan Tianfu glanced at Lin Ximeng and said, "That's not necessarily, I think if I really look for it with a lantern, maybe I can really find it." However, no matter what, you have earned this wine, and you have to drink it, and you have to drink it if you don't drink it. Liu Daguang was happy and said with a smile: "People say 'gluttonous people say matchmaking, foolish people are guarantors', and I, the introducer, really did the right thing." Liu Daguang sat down with everyone's laughter.

After sitting down, he said to Fan Tianfu: "I told Mr. Lin a few days ago that I was going to decorate this hotel, did Mr. Lin tell you?" ”

"Anyway, let's take a look today."

"Then it's all up to my brother. Our funds are very limited, and this Teacher Lin knows that she has helped me a lot, but now all the hotels on this street are being renovated, forcing us to renovate too. What do you think? Fan Tianfu said: "Don't you just want to get the best effect with the minimum investment?" ”

"Yes, yes, exactly." Fan Tianfu smiled: "Teacher Lin, what are you afraid of?" Lin Ximeng hadn't said anything since he came in, but now when he heard Fan Tianfu say this, he said to Liu Daguang: "Mr. Liu, do you understand?" Boss Fan wants to thank you by decorating the hotel. Liu Daguang immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare, I'll appreciate it if I drink a glass of wine." As for the decoration of the hotel, it is necessary to settle the accounts as it should be, and the brothers have to settle the accounts. Besides, it's not easy for anyone, and I know that it's difficult to run a business. Your stall is so big, it's not easy. During the banquet, the horse squinted and showed great hospitality, as if he was the host.

In a panic, he dipped his used napkin from the cuff into the boiling hot pot. Lin Ximeng smiled and used public chopsticks to go to the pot to take out the napkin.

At this time, Fan Tianfu, who was full of red faces, looked at everyone and said, "I have a big secret here, and whoever can guess it will drink three glasses of wine." "No one can guess.

Fan Tianfu added: "This secret can only be kept until next Monday, because this secret will definitely be exposed next Monday." "Still no one can guess.

Ma squinted his eyes and reminded Lin Ximeng: "You can think about it when you came to Red Star." Lin Ximeng still couldn't guess, because she had been in Red Star for so long, and she had never seen Fan Tianfu so excited about one thing.

Apparently the horse squinted to know the secret. Seeing that everyone couldn't guess, Fan Tianfu said to Lin Ximeng: "Please remember this day, this day will be my milestone." Lin Ximeng looked at Fan Tianfu in confusion, trying to read a little secret from his smiling eyes.

She didn't read it, but got a hint: you'll know tonight. Ma Squinted Eyes squinted several times in a row and dipped the used napkin into the boiling hot pot.

When Lin Ximeng fished the napkin out of the pot for the third time, she couldn't help but laugh at the panicked performance of Ma Squint's eyes, and said, "Have you seen it?" It is really rare to see a man like Manager Ma who is quick and fast. Everyone snickered when they heard this.

Fan Tianfu also covered his mouth and smiled. The horse's squint eyes are even more busy adding water and wine. Towards the end of the banquet, Fan Tianfu brought the wine glass to Lin Ximeng and said, "You can help me make this glass, I really can't drink it." Lin Ximeng wanted to replace him, but in front of so many people, he had to excuse himself first and said, "I also drank a lot tonight." Ma Squinted quickly stood up, took the glass of wine from Fan Tianfu's hand, squinted at the eye, and said, "Miss Lin, I ask you to drink this glass of wine in my name." Lin Ximeng was really impatient with Ma Slan's self-righteousness, and in order to give him ruthless sarcasm, she took the glass of wine from Ma Slan's hand and sent it back to Fan Tianfu without a sound.

The horse squinted, red-eyed, and stood there red-eared.
