Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

After guessing that Ji Xiaotao and Ji Guochun might have left the military area, Li Weijun did not stay in the hospital for too long. He was just about to go back to his accommodation to pack his luggage and take a rest to recharge his energy for the helicopter ride back to Beijing tonight.

However, just as he left, Ji Guochun and Ji Xiaotao quietly appeared from the empty ward balcony door and watched his back gradually disappear.

Ji Xiaotao said with a slightly disappointed look: "Dad, Li Weijun came here to look for me this time, why did you ask me to hide and keep quiet? You know, there are still many gaps in my Doraemon paintings that have not been filled. This is the accomplishment of artistic communication, and you are clearly interfering."

Ji Guochun looked at his unruly little princess helplessly, touched his forehead, and said in a resounding voice: "Xiao Tao, don't be unreasonable and willful. The helicopter coming from Beijing tonight has a clear limit on the number of people. If you follow it, you will only cause trouble. If the old man is unhappy, it will be a problem how to end it."

As if he could see Ji Xiaotao's resentment, Ji Guochun went on to comfort her, "Xiaotao, remember this: what belongs to you cannot be taken away by anyone, and what does not belong to you cannot be kept. Li Weijun is definitely not something that can be easily controlled. Whether you can keep him or not depends on your ability."

"Dad, what are you talking about? What can be tied down? It's just a simple artistic exchange, it's elegant and free from vulgarity. It's not as worldly as you say. You must be making fun of me again."

Seeing Ji Xiaotao's blushing face as she hurriedly explained, Ji Guochun joked, "Okay, okay, I was just joking at an inappropriate time, okay? Our Xiaotao is a goddess who doesn't care about worldly things. She drinks morning dew and doesn't care about love between men and women. She is determined to be an independent woman in the new era. Are you satisfied now?"

Ji Xiaotao pursed his lips in dissatisfaction with Ji Guochun's child-like words, stamped the ground, looked at Li Weijun's figure under the window, and muttered.

"This unfaithful man, even if he didn't see her, he didn't even bother to ask someone for information and just left like that. He doesn't know how to be gentle with women at all, huh."

Although she said this, Ji Xiaotao didn't know why, the feeling of loss lingered in her heart for a long time.

This unprecedented experience made Ji Xiaotao a little dazed.

Once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; all other clouds are but mounds of Wushan. In an instant, Ji Xiaotao seemed to understand the implication of this saying. She frowned slightly, gritted her teeth, and spoke to Ji Guochun in an unquestionable tone.

"Dad, I need a plane ticket to Beijing, and it must be right away!"

Seeing Ji Xiaotao being serious and determined to not give up, Ji Guochun, who had been calm and composed, suddenly panicked and wanted to persuade her.

But after hesitating for a moment, this staff general who had fought in the battlefield with real guns and swords and won every battle did not interfere. Instead, he pointed to the boundless blue sky and said with high spirits.

"Good idea! You are worthy of being my daughter, Ji Guochun. This is the kind of courage to love and hate, and to act decisively. That's right. Our Ji family is full of heroic sons and daughters. How can a cooked duck fly away?"

Ji Guochun was suddenly filled with passion, which surprised Ji Xiaotao, who was used to being willful and capricious. She even thought that her father was making fun of her.

She hesitated and twirled the corner of her clothes, half believing and half doubting, "Dad, are you serious about what you said? You are not trying to trick me again, are you? I know your character very well."

Ji Guochun did not comment on Ji Xiaotao's question. He rushed to the staff office and immediately found the guard Comrade Xiao Ma. He gave a serious order: "Immediately order a ticket to Beijing, first class. If necessary, you can make some small mistakes."

This statement is worth pondering. Being able to make some small mistakes does not mean that you can get the plane ticket and use the existing resources to get the green light.

However, for someone at Ji Guochun's level, getting a plane ticket to Beijing is just a matter of a word, and he doesn't even need to show his ID.

Seeing that the chief of staff had given instructions, Xiao Ma did not dare to neglect them. After saluting, he hurriedly took a car to buy the plane ticket.

Ji Guochun, who stayed in the office, was also not idle. After frowning and thinking for a moment, he made a phone call, read out the scripted greetings, paused for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

In order to solve Ji Xiaotao's food and accommodation problems in Beijing, although Ji Guochun is in Shanghai, he still has many old comrades and even old leaders in Beijing.

It is not easy to arrange a suitable position for my daughter Ji Xiaotao in the name of exchange and study.

After finishing these things, Ji Guochun calmly lit a cigarette, glanced at his daughter Ji Xiaotao who was beside him with a look of ecstasy, and said indifferently: "Did you see that? You really think that Dad is making fun of you? That's not true. Just remember, in front of Dad, there is no such thing as impossible."

Ji Xiaotao was obviously very satisfied with the result. She was quite excited and hugged her old father tightly, with indescribable joy in her eyes: "I know that Daddy treats me the best. I am Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket. When Daddy can't walk anymore and is old and frail, he will have to rely on me to support him."

"You little girl, you are so naughty all day long, playing and making noises, like a child who has not grown up. When will I be able to really stop worrying about you and not have to worry about you all the time like I do now?"

Ji Guochun looked at his only daughter with some helplessness. Although he said words of disdain, he felt a warmth in his heart.

Although Ji Xiaotao was a little bit naughty and unruly at times, she was her own daughter after all. If she didn't pamper her, who would take care of her?

What's more, after fighting for most of our lives, isn't it just for the happiness of family and the enjoyment of peace?

The only thing that Ji Guochun is most worried about right now is that no one can calm Xiaotao. Ji Xiaotao grew up under his nose, and he knows very well what kind of free and easy personality his daughter has.

To put it nicely, he is decisive and swift, and dares to love and hate. To put it bluntly, he is a fool who does things without considering the consequences. He is confused all day long and does whatever he wants.

Take the incident just now for example. The personnel transfer is not as simple as Ji Xiaotao said. It is not easy to transfer from a big factory like Shanghai Film Studio to Beijing.

It seems simple, but in fact, it involves more than just the affairs of two departments. All aspects need to be compromised, not to mention that it spans provinces and cities. If it weren't for his remaining influence and some old relationships with old subordinates, how could it be so smooth?

Let alone anything else, just looking at the employees working in three shifts in some large state-owned factories, you can understand how difficult it is.

Some female workers worked night shifts before they got married, but it was not a big deal because if one person was well fed the whole family would not be hungry, and they had nothing to worry about.

But after the female workers get married, they start to think about having children. They can't just keep working night shifts.

The husband works the day shift and the wife works the night shift, and they miss their rest time for each other. How can they have a child under such circumstances?

Logically speaking, special situations should be treated specially, but sometimes the world is just so strange.

Even if you are getting married and planning to have children, your application to switch to the night shift will still be rejected without the consent from above. As for when it will be approved, it depends on how much you understand this matter.

Some people who are quick-witted and alert, seeing that the three-shift, two-shift system is not a solution, will sneakily take some good cigarettes, good alcohol, high-end candies and the like, find the person in charge and beg him to solve this difficult problem.

By doing this, although the person in charge may appear unhappy, or even scold you, it will not take long for the application to be approved quickly.

But if you are stubborn and insist on thinking in a one-track mind, submitting applications day and night without doing any local products or social interactions, then even if you are about to give birth, you still cannot skip the night shift.

This is the romance that is unique to Chinese people, which can strangle foreigners by the neck.

As for why Ji Guochun understood it so thoroughly, it was all thanks to his omniscient and powerful driver.

Every morning when he went to the General Staff Headquarters, Ji Guochun would read the newspaper while asking his private driver to tell him some gossip and anecdotes, and get some valuable information by the way.

Although these private car drivers may seem inconspicuous, their information network is very meticulous. From their colleagues to ordinary people on the streets, nothing can escape the ears of these private car drivers.

It is actually simple. When these private car drivers have nothing to do in their spare time to maintain their cars, most of them will get together to play cards and chat. During the accidental communication, unexpected news will often flash out.

It is even said that they knew some news earlier than Ji Guochun. Often, while Ji Guochun was still waiting foolishly for instructions from above, the special car driver already knew how to implement it.

Ji Guochun discovered this reading news website early on, so he would occasionally reveal some irrelevant content so that he, as a private car driver, could exchange it for useful things.

Ji Guochun called this a useful mouthpiece for obtaining information.
