In a certain camp in Nanyi, a military vehicle drove in.

Ye Jianzhong was hanging from a tree, holding a mop root in his hand, and a brick was tied to his dry head.

A colonel-officer with a backpack in his hand approached, the dilapidated barracks.

He looked at the open barracks door, went in, and found that there was no one, so he threw the backpack on the table, and then, taking the kettle, poured himself a glass of water.

The colonel, with a chair in one hand and a glass of water in the other, walked out of the barracks, and he put the chair down to the door, sat down, and tasted the hot water in the cup very leisurely.

Ye Jianzhong found the colonel, and from the moment he laughed into this camp, the mop in his hand kept pointing at the colonel.

Time passed minute by minute, and the hot water in the colonel's cup cooled, and then he said, "Aren't you ready to come down, how long are you going to hang?" ”

Ye Jianzhong knew that he had been exposed, so he jumped off the tree and came to the front of the colonel to salute.

"Report to the captain, the viper is organizing training, please instruct!"

"Indicate a fart, you're left alone, how can you still pretend!" The colonel said, handing the water cup in his hand to Ye Jianzhong.

Ye Jianzhong stretched out his hand to take the water cup and said, "As long as there is still one person in the poisonous snake, the establishment will still be there, so ........."

"So you're putting on a show for us, aren't you?" The colonel asked rhetorically.

Ye Jianzhong replied calmly: "No, no, I don't need to act!" ”

"Not acting? What is that? The colonel asked again.

"Training, just training!" Ye Jianzhong replied.

"Jianzhong, you're not a very tough person, I remember you weren't like this before?" The colonel said.

"People will always change, I'm just holding on to my heart!"

"Your heart? Or the heart of a viper? ”

"My heart is the heart of a viper!" Ye Jianzhong replied.

The colonel stood up and said, "Five years ago, our troops underwent a reform, and since then, the viper has ceased to exist, and I am no longer the captain of the viper, can you understand!" ”

Ye Jianzhong shook his head and said, "I don't want to understand!" ”

"That means you understand, since this is the case, then everything is easy to say, this time I came, I am here to find a way for you, how can you say that you are also a regular battalion-level officer, it is a pity to guard this camp, I have prepared for you here, the post of staff officer of the military district staff group, you can leave me today."

"Captain, I can't be a staff officer, it's good to stay here!" Ye Jianzhong refused.

"You're not giving me face!" There was a slight anger on his laughing face.

Ye Jianzhong still said coldly: "Captain, I am a soldier, there are no rules, your position as a staff officer of the military region is too restrictive and not suitable for me!" ”

"Is it restrained, you can change it, it's not what you said, people will change." The colonel said.

"Captain, this water is cold, I'll go change a glass for you."

After Ye Jianzhong finished speaking, he entered the room with a water cup, and he didn't want to continue the previous topic.

Laughing and turning his head, looking at Ye Jianzhong's back, he didn't understand what Ye Jianzhong meant.

"Jianzhong, my opinion, you think about it again, in fact, when you go to the General Staff, you can't stand the restraints, there, except for me, no one will control you, if you feel restrained, I can give you absolute freedom."

The colonel said to Ye Jianzhong, who was pouring water.

"Captain, to be honest, I really don't want to stay in the agency, I think I'm only suitable to stay at the grassroots level." Ye Jianzhong said and walked out with the poured water.

"Why, what are you worried about?" The colonel asked again.

Ye Jianzhong handed the water cup in his hand to the colonel, who took it, looked at him, and waited for his answer.

"Captain, although I haven't been back for a long time, I still know some situations, you are now the chief of staff of the military region, I serve in the general staff, and I am also under you, there is nothing wrong with this, but people like me who are parachuted in will always make people gossip, I am a person, there are a lot of problems, but there is one point, I have a good face, I don't want someone to gossip behind my back." Ye Jianzhong replied.

"Gossip, what gossip, you are a capable person, the capable prevail, what gossip can others say!" The colonel was a little reluctant.

Ye Jianzhong looked at the colonel, he suddenly picked up the mop lever before him, showed it to the colonel, and said, "Captain, look, this thing of mine is equipped with weight to practice the gun, right?" ”

The colonel raised his foot and kicked the hair stem that Ye Jianzhong had picked up, and the mop rod was kicked to the ground by him.

"I'm talking to you about business, don't plug in these for me, some don't, you say, what gossip are you afraid of?"

Ye Jianzhong bent down and picked up the mop rod again, and as soon as he took it, the colonel kicked it again, and kicked the mop rod in Ye Jianzhong's hand to the side again.

"I'll get down to business, can you please stop holding this."

Ye Jianzhong was very calm, without a little anger, he walked to the edge of the mop pole, bent down, and picked up the mop pole again.

This time, the colonel didn't go up to make up for it again, mainly because he knew that he would bend down to pick it up at night when he kicked it on the ground, and this time, Ye Jianzhong was a little far away from him.

"Captain, gossip is indispensable, to be honest, I don't care, but I don't want others to say that the captain is nepotistic."

Ye Jianzhong continued: "Captain, me and the poisonous snake have disappeared for seven years, in the past 7 years, we have not heard any news from the troops, no one knows about us, and now, I suddenly appeared, and I also appeared in the position of the staff department of the organ where many people have pierced their heads and want to drill in, those people, what will they think, they will gossip about you, your current position is very sensitive, I don't want to bring you any kind of trouble." ”

The colonel was silent, this is indeed a very sensitive position, he is the chief of staff of the military region, and a general who has just been promoted to the position of a standing committee member of the first military region, with his military rank, sitting in this position itself has given some people complaints, if he is giving others the opportunity to attack behind their backs, I am afraid that it may really cause him great trouble.

In officialdom, it is living in dire straits, and some things look obviously right, but in the eyes of others, it does not mean that it is correct, so the higher the position, the more cautious you must be.

"Jianzhong, your worries, I have also thought about it, but you are a hero, if you can find a good way out for a hero like you, my current position, even if I am lost, it is also worth getting, our troops, there is no shortage of good chiefs of staff, but capable and experienced staff officers, there are really too few, without me, the impact is not great, but without you, it will be a major loss for our troops, and even the country."
