The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Soon after.

The government issued a document on literacy, and Xu Huizhen's tavern was already ready. It directly held a literacy class in the breakfast shop next door the next afternoon. Since there was no teacher, Xu Huizhen took off work and taught the class herself.

Tian Zao was also doing the same thing at the same time. With her connections, she also started a literacy class the next afternoon. She even found a teacher and the neighbors came to support her, so the class started even faster than the one in the tavern.

Afterwards, Qin Huairu took the tavern as an example and took people to visit and praise it in person.

That night, Xu Hesheng, a regular customer of the tavern, was drinking in the tavern and heard that the tavern's literacy class had been recognized and praised by the district and street offices and was being used as a model.

He was motivated and qualified for promotion, but there were several competitors and the places were limited. If he could come to the tavern to teach in the literacy class and gain some merit, then he would be a sure thing.

Thinking of this, he stopped drinking and hurried home.

When he came back, he was holding a painting in his hand and waiting at the back door of the tavern, waiting for Xu Huizhen to finish her literacy class.

After waiting for more than an hour, Xu Huizhen finally finished class and went home from the pub.

Xu Hesheng hurried forward. "Boss lady, I need a favor from you."

Xu Huizhen smiled when she saw that it was Xu Hesheng, a regular customer of the tavern. "It's Teacher Xu. You scared me by showing up so suddenly. It's not customary to call me boss lady nowadays. Either call me by my name or call me Manager Xu."

I thought to myself, there is no need to rush to find a teacher, as the boss said, someone will come to you on their own initiative and will be more dedicated than anyone else.

Xu Hesheng nodded quickly. "Yes, yes, Manager Xu, I heard you like these, so I found a painting of a horse by Xu Feihong for you." He handed the painting to Xu Huizhen.

He has been coming to the tavern to drink for a few years. He was a regular customer when Old Man He was here. He has heard that Xu Huizhen has the same hobbies as Old Man He, so he is just trying to please her."

Xu Huizhen then opened the painting and looked at it, then smiled gently. "Teacher Xu, is there something wrong?"

Xu Hesheng asked for help and didn't hide it. "This year, the school has announced the quota for promotion. I..."

Xu Huizhen said calmly, "This painting is good. I'll buy it at the market price."

Xu Hesheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on.

Xu Huizhen said calmly, "Teacher Xu will give the literacy class a try tomorrow. If you feel that the neighbors are doing well, you can stay. I'm a bit tied up."

Xu Hesheng's face was full of surprise. "Ah? Really? Thank you, Manager Xu."

Xu Huizhen did not forget to say a word. "But, Mr. Xu, you have to teach carefully. You should also know that the street takes it very seriously. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be..."

Xu Hesheng quickly thanked him. "I promise to teach you well. Thank you, Manager Xu."

Xu Huizhen smiled. "Then go back, Teacher Xu. I'll have Manager Cai give you the money for the painting tomorrow. Don't worry, it's the market price, not a cent less."

Xu Hesheng hesitated for a moment. "Manager Xu, let's not talk about painting."

He knew the painting was worth a lot of money, but for the sake of promotion...

Xu Huizhen said firmly. "That won't do. I have to keep my private and public life separate. I'm Xu Huizhen. I'm going back."

After he finished speaking, he waved goodbye. As for returning the painting, that was impossible, even if it was for the chance, he would not take it even if Xu Hesheng wanted it.

I thought, the boss's evaluation of this man is indeed correct. In front of him, women are no match for money, and money is no match for position and power. The woman didn't know, but in order to get promoted, she knew the value of the painting and still insisted on giving it up.

However, as long as they are in the right position and at the right time, Fan Jinyou and Xu Hesheng are both good chess pieces.

……

Three days later, Monday.

The result that Chang Wei had been waiting for came. Zhu Yulong asked his secretary to pick him up early in the morning.

He actually went directly to the General Office of the Central Military Commission, the Director's Office.

When Chang Wei saw two people sitting in the office drinking tea, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked calm and composed.

"Secretary Xiao, long time no see. Why are you transferred here? You got promoted, but you were demoted for making a mistake."

As he said that, he walked forward with great confidence, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea without any hesitation.

Among them, Zhu Yulong was very familiar with him. Another one was Secretary Xiao, who had interacted with him at the Victory Cannery and was Secretary Xiao of the Military Control Commission.

Secretary Xiao smiled and counted on his fingers. "You haven't changed in all these years, how about you guess?"

Chang Wei drank his tea slowly and said with a smile, "Do you still need to guess? Look at the corner of your mouth, it's almost up to your eyebrows."

Zhu Yulong said with a smile. "That's true. From now on, there will be no Secretary Xiao, but Director Xiao, the top leader. How can I not be happy?"

Secretary Xiao pretended to be serious and complained unhappily. "You are plotting against me, right? According to what you said, I can eat three steamed buns in one bite. Why do you care about my food?"

Zhu Yulong laughed and continued, "Old Xiao, even if you pull your mouth down to your belly button, he can still control you."

Chang Wei also laughed. "You are Director Xiao now, how can I ignore it? I have to take care of it. I will treat you at noon."

Director Xiao handed the file bag in front of him to Chang Wei. "You have to treat me, look at this."

Chang Wei opened the file bag and took a closer look. He saw words all over the paper.

... Comrade Chang Wei's contribution to the military boxing has significantly improved the overall physical fitness of our army... He has been quietly providing logistical support to the volunteers in the rear... When the organization needs it, he actively responds to the call and helps the organization eliminate high-level spies who have been hiding for many years...

For his outstanding contributions, the Military Commission leadership decided to specially award Comrade Chang Wei the rank of major general.

In view of Comrade Chang Wei's outstanding personal ability, a special inspection and training group was set up under the General Office of the Military Commission and the Military Commission's Training Management Department, with Comrade Chang Wei as the group leader...

After Chang Wei finished reading, Director Xiao smiled and said slowly, "Should we treat you?"

Chang Wei curled his lips. "What? Isn't he just a team leader?"

He only knows a major general, which is good, but he doesn't know anything about the rest.

Upon hearing this, Director Xiao rolled his eyes and was speechless. He took a deep breath and drank the tea from the cup, not even bothering to explain.

Zhu Yulong knew that Chang Wei didn't understand the ins and outs here, so he explained. "Ah Wei, don't just take the literal meaning, do you think the team leader is small?

As the team leader of two departments, only Director Xiao and Department Manager Yan can supervise you. No one else can do it. Your work is directly coordinated and responsible with them.

Also, the name of your group includes "Patrol Special Training", do you know what it means?

No matter which military region you are in, as long as you don't mess around, you will be treated as a guest of honor. Because you represent the General Office of the Military Commission and the Training Management Department of the Military Commission, these two superior departments, ordinary people can't afford to offend..."

Chang Wei understood immediately. Although he had no power, he had deterrence, which was similar to the imperial envoys in the past, but without real power. "So, what is my job?"

Director Xiao put down his teacup and answered. "Let me tell you about it?

Several CEOs discussed it and were also inspired by the graduation thesis of a major general student at the Jinling Military Academy.

It's strange that you are strong alone. If our army has thousands and thousands of you, then our country will be strong.

But I also know that it is impossible for everyone to be a martial arts genius like you. So I set up a special inspection and training team so that you can openly select the right people from the five major military regions.

The ultimate goal is to have a special forces of 100,000 people, to become an indestructible sharp knife of our country's national defense force. To deter all countries and usher in permanent peace..."

Chang Wei nodded, which meant that he was asked to build a special forces team. If he really wanted to lead 100,000 people, then he, as a team leader, would be no different from a general or a marshal.

But the point is that he doesn't know tactics or command these things...

Another point of interest is that, inspired by the student’s graduation thesis, he is a major general, could it be Comrade Lao Li?

"Old Xiao, I don't know these things, I only know Kung Fu.

Special operations forces should be considered all-rounders that are suitable for all kinds of battlefields, right?"

Director Xiao nodded. "That's right, so your task is not easy. Not only do you have to find potential team members, but you also have to select the right team members to make up for your shortcomings.

I believe that with your keen observation, it should not be difficult to select team members who have a deep understanding of military tactical skills and command strategies.

Don't worry, as long as the person you choose is within the level range, no matter which department or military region he is from, we will fully cooperate. This is the order of the Military Commission."

Chang Wei thought, this is possible. To put it bluntly, the level range cannot be too high. You can't ask a division commander or a political commissar to be a member of your team, right?

But the ones I brought with me, they will be my Chang family army from now on.

But it is also troublesome. Special forces members must not only have comprehensive physical, military and cultural qualities, but also a firm will... and they cannot be illiterate rough guys, otherwise their achievements will be limited, unless of course they have special abilities.

When I think of special skills, I have an idea in my mind. Generally, people with special skills are more arrogant, and they are the so-called troublemakers in the team. These people can be screened out in advance.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chang Wei straightened up, his eyes firm and righteous. "I, Chang Wei, will definitely live up to your expectations and complete the mission!"

Director Xiao patted him on the shoulder. "Not bad, this is getting better."

Chang Wei asked to confirm. "Um, Lao Xiao, I'm curious, who is the major general who proposed this?"

Director Xiao agreed with a smile. "Li Yunlong, the major general of the Third Field Army, you should have heard of Lao Zhu, he's an old troublemaker."

Zhu Yulong laughed. "This guy is well-known in the Fourth Field Army for his stubbornness."

Chang Wei was immediately delighted. Now the special forces team would not be so difficult to deal with. He suddenly felt that the hodgepodge world was great!

Just as there is the stubborn Old Li, there is the idealist Zhao Gang who hates evil.

The most worry-free thing is this guy Duan Peng. Remember, this guy is a versatile person. He can fight with bare hands, use various weapons, understand maps, use artillery and conduct reconnaissance, and he also knows medicine...

Director Xiao joked with Zhu Yulong for a while, and then continued to talk to Chang Wei. "By the way, Awei, you are a martial artist, and I have arranged a literary one for you to be your deputy team leader, so that you can be a combination of martial artists and civil artists."

Chang Wei came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Is it a beautiful female soldier? We can't just match civil and military, we also have to match men and women, right?"

Director Xiao scolded with a smile. "You kid, you are dreaming.

A big man.

This person is the former partner of the troublemaker Li Yunlong we just mentioned, Comrade Zhao Gang from the Political Department of the General Staff. He is a top student who graduated from Yan University and has the rank of major general. You have to be careful with him. "

Chang Wei was so excited when he heard this that he immediately said, "I'm a bit worried about the major general being my deputy team leader."

Since they are so destined to meet, we must resolve the disasters faced by Zhao Gang and Lao Li in the future and let them experience what it means to enjoy a peaceful old age.

But the water is deep enough, add the political department, the military commission and other departments directly under the Central Military Commission to deal with it together, I don't know if there is anyone behind. As expected, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are struggles for power and profit.

Director Xiao said angrily. "Come on, Lao Zhu and I are both lieutenant generals. You are just as active as me. How can you be so restrained?"

Chang Wei laughed. "This is familiar."

Director Xiao looked at his watch. "Stop talking nonsense, kid. The people should be here soon. You two should cooperate with each other."

Not long after, a middle-aged man in military uniform knocked on the door and walked in. He was not tall and thin, but had an upright posture, a bookish air, and a little handsome.

"Comrade Zhao Gang, this is Chang Wei. You two will be partners from now on," Director Xiao introduced.

Chang Wei immediately stood up, extended his hand and introduced himself. "Hello, Political Commissar Zhao, I am Chang Wei, and I am very happy to cooperate with you."

Zhao Gang smiled and the two shook hands. "Hello, Comrade Chang Wei. I hope we can work together and live up to your expectations."

After the two got to know each other, they sat down and chatted together.

Director Xiao has already vacated an office next to his office for Chang Wei and Zhao Gang. Whether they use it or not, they have to mark out a territory for them.

At noon, Chang Wei treated the four of them to a meal at Hongbinlou. Since they had to work in the afternoon, they didn't drink.

In the afternoon, Chang Wei and Zhao Gang talked about the selection of the special forces team in the office.

"Old Zhao, I plan to ask each military region to list the names of those troublemakers first, and we will select the first wave based on their personal information.

You see, to put it bluntly, he is just a martial artist, and he doesn't know much except kung fu.

So this is what I think. People with special abilities and special skills are usually a bit arrogant. If we combine everyone's strengths, the team we train shouldn't be bad, right?"

Chang Wei's goal is not just to gather the strengths of everyone, he wants to gather the strengths of hundreds of schools. Although Kung Fu is ever-changing but remains essentially the same, each school has its own advantages.

He decided that after selecting this group of people, he would let Lai Fu use this as a basis to develop a set of kung fu or training programs that could improve everyone's physical qualities.

Lai Fu was able to study sex based on the human body and his own innate abilities without any basic references. So with these references, it shouldn't be difficult to do this, right?

"Awei, this is a good method. But these people are not easy to discipline. Usually the troublemakers are veterans. And as you said, they have special skills and abilities, but they are also arrogant."

Zhao Gang also expressed his own views.

He didn't believe Chang Wei's claim that he was a martial artist. He had applied to his superiors to see Chang Wei's information before coming. Although this guy is young, he easily captured the KMT spy chief Gong Shu, who others were helpless against. He went to Hong Kong to capture him, which is much more difficult than in the mainland. At the same time, he also helped to dig out the shadow of the inner ghost who had been hiding in the top for many years.

Moreover, even with this method, most people would think of it but would not dare to implement it. Once these troublemakers were subdued, they would definitely become elites among elites. I have seen this with my own eyes after being with that bastard Li Yunlong for so long.
