Chapter 677 Grievance
In the evening, the twilight spreads from the distant mountain ridges, dyeing the sky into a gradient amber color....
North Gate of Ye Province Military Region
The twenty-meter-high concrete wall stretched across the horizon like the back of a giant beast. The searchlight on the top of the wall had not yet been turned on, and the jagged battlements cast jagged shadows in the twilight.
The anti-climbing coating on the surface of the city wall glows with a bluish-gray metallic luster in the low temperature, forming a sharp contrast with the last warm color in the sky.
On the city wall, two soldiers wearing bulletproof vests stood on both sides of a quad-mounted anti-aircraft machine gun, with QBZ-4 assault rifles hanging on their chests, looking at the distant mountains and sky with boredom.
Buzz buzz~~
At this moment, a low engine roar suddenly sounded from the north side of Yeda Road.
Hearing the noise, the electronic camera arrays mounted on the city wall turned towards the direction of the sound.
At the end of the road, a convoy consisting of three Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicles was rapidly approaching the north gate.
"Squad leader, someone is coming. Judging from the license plate, they should be from the Provincial Standing Committee. There are three cars in total. They are probably at the vice-chairman level!"
In the control room on the city wall, the attendant looked at the surveillance screen and shouted loudly to the outside.
"I know, I know!"
The sergeant squad leader held a cigarette between his lips, quickly put on his tactical helmet, and walked quickly towards the top of the city gate.
Zizzi~
"Gateway sentry! Gateway sentry, pay attention! The leader is coming!"
"Roger that!"
...
Not long after, the convoy arrived at the iron barricades outside the north gate and waited for the routine inspection by the gate guards.
A Mengshi 00003 armored assault vehicle in the middle with a blue license plate number: Ye A3 slowly lowered its window, revealing Cai Anxin's increasingly majestic triangular face.
"Nighttime gathering place, I'm back again!"
Looking at the cold and tall city wall in front of him, Cai Anxin was filled with emotion at this moment, and the memories of the past played back in his mind like a slide show.
I remember that on the night when the apocalypse broke out, the leader brought me in from here, and from then on, my life was brought into a whole new world.
In the first half of his life, he was both a businessman and a bandit, wandering on the edge of the gray area. It seemed that he had a bright future, but in reality, he was walking on thin ice.
I never thought that in my lifetime, I would be able to wear this executive jacket and become a senior official in a province.
It really fits the saying "Life is like a dream, like an illusion, it is still free from fate and destiny"
Since the separation of the military and civilians, I have rarely had the opportunity and reason to meet the leaders, and I almost always report directly to Vice Chairman Gu Jianguo.
Although I have the same position as the other party, there is still a difference in closeness. We are on the same level, so how can there be no hierarchy?
What's more, the other party is not only the leader's father, but also a legitimate senior official of the Zhou State before the end of the world.
Especially with the restart of a series of public service recruitment systems such as provincial examinations and special recruitment, the scale of establishment officials in the entire provincial standing committee is constantly expanding.
Most of these people were people who worked in the system before the end of the world. It would be more accurate to say that they were doing their original jobs rather than being admitted through exams.
Such a group of official elites from the establishment naturally united closely behind Gu Jianguo, the vice chairman with a good pedigree.
In their hearts, I, the so-called vice chairman, am probably still just a gangster who happened to wear an official hat, a monkey in a human form, right?
However, Tsai An-xin did not feel any resentment about this. Instead, she strictly prohibited her subordinates from having conflicts with the establishment on many occasions.
Because if the leader hadn't been there, he would have been eaten by zombies without leaving anything behind on the night of the apocalypse, and his daughter would have suffered inhuman torture!
Now that I am living in the end times, my family and safety are guaranteed. Compared with most of my old rivals whose life and death I don’t know, I am much better off.
So now, Cai Anxin has gradually let it go. She has been fighting for her whole life, but now, she can neither win nor wants to fight anymore.
Maybe this is what the leader meant?
Keep some dignity for yourself, and leave some room for relationship between you and your leader. With the leader's character, there will be no problem in ensuring that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life.
"I just don't know what the chief wants to do by summoning me this time?"
"Shouldn't I communicate directly with Vice Chairman Gu about general matters? Is there another mission assigned to me?"
Thinking of this, a faint flame flickered in the depths of Cai Anxin's eyes...
perhaps...
...
Beep beep~
As the horn of the Mengshi 3 armored assault vehicle sounded, the convoy started again and drove through the gate into the military area. Cai Anxin's thoughts also drifted to an unknown place.
...
Ye Province Military Region Headquarters, Commander's Office
dong dong dong~
"report!"
"Enter!"
Hearing that it was Cai Anxin's voice, Gu Chengyuan put down the documents in his hand and stood up.
Kata~
"Commander, I heard you were looking for me."
When they met again and saw that familiar figure, Cai Anxin's voice subconsciously became hoarse for some reason.
"Sit, sit, sit!"
"You've worked hard all the way here. Let me make you a cup of tea! Still the same as always, right?"
Gu Chengyuan turned his back to Cai Anxin and greeted her casually.
But it was this casual tone, just like before, that made Cai Anxin's eyes tear up.
He was relieved, but didn't he feel aggrieved in his heart?
"Hahaha~"
"Come on! We two old partners haven't seen each other for a long time. Come and try this tea and see if the taste has changed!"
Seeing Gu Chengyuan coming, Cai Anxin quickly stood up, lowered her head slightly, and took the teacup from Gu Chengyuan with a look of panic, just to prevent the leader from seeing her predicament.
"Please sit down. You must be a stranger after not coming here for a while, right? Haha, do you still want me to treat you?"
"Don't dare!"
Hearing this, Cai Anxin sat down hurriedly, feeling a little awkward, and sat opposite Gu Chengyuan at the familiar coffee table as before.
But this time, he subconsciously buried his eyes in the hot mist rising from the teacup.
"Try it. I haven't touched this pot of tea since you left. I haven't given it to anyone who comes. I've been waiting for you to come over!"
"I haven't been here for so long, I don't know if the taste of this tea has changed. Drink it and give your opinion. If it has changed, you can choose a new bottle from me and I will keep it for you. Hahaha~"
It had been a long time since we last met, and apart from work reasons, Gu Chengyuan seemed very happy, and even talked a lot more than usual, and there seemed to be a hint of deep meaning in his words.
"Chief..."
Hearing this, Cai Anxin suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice.
At this moment, he truly understood why there were so many "gentlemen who died for their friends" in history.
If it were him now, he would not hesitate at all!
The Chief is really...
For a moment, Cai Anxin almost burst into tears on the spot.
In order to hide his emotions, he didn't care that the tea was scalding hot. He picked up the cup with trembling hands and drank it all in one gulp.
There were blisters in his mouth from the burns, but he didn't even frown.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but move his eyes slightly and sighed deeply in his heart...
But he still chose to pretend nothing happened, just because adult dignity is more important than anything else...
"Hahaha, Lao Cai, how did you get by? You're the vice chairman of the Standing Committee, but you're acting like you haven't had tea in several lifetimes?"
"Drink slowly, the water is too hot!"
While Gu Chengyuan was joking, Cai Anxin quickly calmed down and said with a smile:
"No, no, I drink a lot of tea, but I can't taste the flavor of the Chief's tea anywhere else, so... I can't help myself... I can't help myself. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Chief." Cai Anxin said with a double meaning.
"Hahaha, since you like the tea here, then come and visit more often recently. If you don't come to drink it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to drink it in the future."
At this moment, Gu Chengyuan finally stated his purpose.
?
As soon as the words fell, Cai Anxin's face became visibly panicked:
"Commander...what do you mean by that..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, it's a good thing, it's a good thing!" Gu Chengyuan waved his hand to comfort her.
"I wonder if you are aware of the situation of the military district in Yucheng and the latest cooperation between us and the 77th Corps?"
When Cai Anxin, who is as smart as she is, heard Gu Chengyuan suddenly asked about Yucheng, she immediately guessed a possibility.
However, he did not ask immediately, but chose to continue following Gu Chengyuan's words.
Since the leader is interested in keeping things a secret, it is natural for his subordinates to fully cooperate!
"Reporting to the commander, I have been paying attention to the situation in Yucheng. As for our cooperation with the 77th Army Corps, I have also learned about it from the internal documents of the Provincial Standing Committee. If this version is comprehensive enough, then I should have a good understanding of it."
Cai Anxin carefully considered her tone and spoke without missing a single word.
"It's fine as long as you understand. I have an idea here. See if you are willing. You have followed me since the beginning of the apocalypse. You are different from others. I fully respect your opinion!"
"Please tell me, Commander. You know I'm willing to go through fire and water without hesitation!"
After saying that, Cai Anxin looked towards Gu Chengyuan with eyes full of determination, like an unshakable loyal warrior!
"Hahaha, it's not that serious!" Seeing Cai Anxin's statement, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but laugh and waved his hands.
"I plan to arrange for you to go to Yucheng to set up the Yucheng Standing Committee. You will be the chairman of the Standing Committee and take charge of Yucheng's government affairs!"
