Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

The government rewarded them with rice, flour, oil, and even a lot of meat, which made everyone in the courtyard very envious.

But when I thought about the introduction of Chen Xu's deeds just now, Director Li said that Chen Xu and the public security comrades captured six enemy spies, and even Chen Xu himself captured the leading enemy spy.

Thinking about the gunshots last night, everyone felt that Chen Xu fully deserved the rewards he received, as he was risking his life.

The Chen Xu in everyone's mind now is probably the guy waving a kitchen knife and charging towards the enemy's hail of bullets, and finally escaping death and beheading the enemy general in the midst of thousands of troops.

I never thought that Chen Xu was just picking up an opportunity and giving the other party a brick...

It is estimated that in the eyes of the residents of the courtyard, Chen Xu's bravery is no less than that of his wife who can knock down a tiger.

Liu Haizhong looked at Chen Xu with envy. If he, Old Liu, could be so successful, he would have no regrets in his life.

Yi Zhonghai was a little bit unbelievable, as if he met Chen Xu for the first time. In his mind, although Chen Xu was indeed a clever guy, he also liked to go to the street office or chop people at every turn.

Chen Xu always found it unbelievable that such a heroic deed happened to him.

But the street office and the police both said so, and it was obviously the fact. This made Yi Zhonghai regretful to the extreme. If he had been able to establish a relationship with Chen Xu at the beginning, based on this guy's character, it would not matter if he had no offspring.

Although Yi Zhonghai himself has a very dark heart, he still believes that anyone who dares to take the risk to capture enemy spies personally must have good character. This is almost the consensus of the people in this era.

Don’t even mention the regret Yi Zhonghai felt in his heart; it was aching.

If he had used the effort he put into winning over Jia Dongxu to win over Chen Xu, he would not only be the boss of the hospital, but also have a pensioner who had made great contributions.

Whether in the courtyard or in the steel mill, who wouldn't look up to him?

Even Yi Zhonghai thought that if he had won over Chen Xu and established a good relationship with him, and then accepted Chen Xu, an orphan without parents, as his godfather, then he wouldn't have to worry about having no one to take care of him in his old age.

A single thought can make a world of difference.

Yi Zhonghai felt that he was really stupid. He felt that there were only two things he regretted most in his life.

The first is that he should not take the money sent back by He Daqing. This way, not only will his property remain, but his reputation will not be ruined.

The second thing is that he did not take action when he should have. At that time, he really had the idea of ​​winning over Chen Xu, but in the end he gave up because Chen Xu was not stable at the time. This made Yi Zhonghai even more depressed.

If he had acted decisively at the beginning, how could Yi Zhonghai have ended up in his current situation?

"Snapped..."

A crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone turned to look at Yi Zhonghai, who slapped himself in the face for some unknown reason.

Yi Zhonghai also reacted. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. He slapped himself without thinking.

Facing everyone's gazes, Yi Zhonghai felt a little embarrassed, and his cheeks were burning from the beating he had just received.

"It's so cold and there are still mosquitoes..."

Yi Zhonghai gave up and found an excuse for himself that no one would believe.

Everyone was speechless. You are kidding me. The snow hasn't even melted yet, so where are the mosquitoes coming from?

But no one said anything, just thought that this old guy was just playing with himself. After all, Yi Zhonghai is over 50 years old, and it's normal for his brain to not work well sometimes...

The full-house meeting has only now officially ended.

Director Wang encouraged Chen Xu with a smile, asked the comrades from the street office to help deliver the reward materials to Chen Xu's home, and then left.

Director Li stayed at Chen Xu's house for a while.

"Xiao Chen, come home when you have time. Grandpa also wants to see your wife. Don't worry, I have already agreed with Dad that we will not discuss the matter of you two joining the police."

Chen Xu agreed with a smile. It would be best if the old man could give up this idea.

He also didn't expect that vomiting last night led Director Li to tell the old man about the matter after returning home. The old man felt that his son was right.

Although warriors are strong, this is no longer the era of fighting with fists and feet.

Veterans who have experienced many battles are obviously more suitable for public security work.

After everyone left, Lin Chan looked at the big red flower that Chen Xu took from his chest, his eyes full of admiration.

Chen Xu smiled and pinned the big red flower on Lin Chan's chest.

"Ah... No, this is yours..."

Lin Chan felt that this was a symbol of honor and she should not wear it, even for fun.

Unfortunately, Chen Xu put it on her very seriously, and the girl was a little at a loss.

Not to mention, the big red flower looks really good on Lin Chan. Although she is wearing a cotton jacket, her breasts are still round and straight.

"What do you mean by you? We are husband and wife, there is no distinction between you and me."

"Oh."

Lin Chan was a little confused. She liked what Chen Xu said, but could he take his hand back first? He didn't need to squeeze the flower with both hands...

Chen Xu helped Lin Chan put on the flower with great satisfaction, and was somewhat amazed at the girl's figure.

That is the size that all men like, too majestic to be controlled by one hand.

at the same time.

The steel rolling mill has already closed for get off work, but the factory leaders have not left and are still in a meeting.

The discussion was also about how to reward Chen Xu.

When a heroic figure appears in the factory, he must be rewarded, but how to reward him needs to be discussed.

Director Nie from the factory’s party office stated very directly that Chen Xu would be admitted into the party tomorrow, and you can discuss the rest among yourselves.

Director Yang nodded, this was expected.

However, Li Huaide's proposal to promote Chen Xu to the deputy section level made him hesitate.

You know, Chen Xu is now a ninth-level clerk. Isn't it a bit outrageous that he has crossed nine administrative levels?

It's not that he was trying to trip Chen Xu up on purpose, he's not that stupid. Chen Xu is at the peak of his career now, and trying to trip him up would not only offend people, but if the higher-ups found out, they would think that Director Yang was deliberately suppressing a meritorious official. There's no doubt that Li Huaide would make a big fuss about it.

Moreover, even if Chen Xu was promoted to the deputy section level, he would not have real power, not to mention that it would have no impact on him.

Even if they really wanted Chen Xu to take power, they would have to take it away from Li Huaide's power. At most, they would give the position of deputy director of the purchasing department who was about to retire to Chen Xu, which would have nothing to do with him.

He was in charge of the production department, so he wouldn't assign a position to Chen Xu from the workshop.

He just felt that Chen Xu was promoted so quickly at such a young age, and was afraid that people would gossip about him.

Although it was Li Huaide who proposed it, as his factory director, he was the first to be gossiped about.

Li Huaide did not give in at all.

His reason was that Chen Xu was originally scheduled to be promoted to a fourth-level clerk, and now that he had made great contributions, being promoted to the deputy section level was already considered a minimum.

If others don't accept it, that's fine. If you don't accept it, go and catch the enemy spies yourself. If you can do it, I will promote you...

Moreover, they now know that the higher-ups intend to make Chen Xu an example.

The superiors said that we should learn from Comrade Chen Xu, but your steel rolling mill just fooled around. How do others view their steel rolling mill?

Chief Liu of the Security Department next to him nodded to indicate that what Li Huaide said made sense, but in his heart he thought that this kid Chen Xu was no ordinary tiger, and he really had to do it if he had something to do.

It is natural for the public security and security personnel to take the lead in such matters, but for someone like Chen Xu to take the lead would be committing suicide.

Chief Liu obviously still had the impression of Chen Xu from the past, and felt that Chen Xu was an extraordinary brave man.

This guy also heard that Chen Xu personally captured the leader of the enemy spies. He didn't know the details and just thought that this guy really went for it.

Director Nie also felt that we should not fool around so easily. Age did not affect promotion. China had fought for so many years and there were many young heroes.

For example, General Xiao Hua, who served as the political commissar of the Young Communist International Division at the age of seventeen.

For example, Comrade Xun Huaizhuo, who served as the commander of the Red 7th Army at the age of 21.

For example, General Wu Zhong joined the Red Army at the age of twelve and became a founding major general at the age of thirty-four.

This is what is meant by "Ambition does not depend on age."
