Chapter 272: Just Call Me “uncle Gao”!
Chen Jun and his son, over two generations, ate the delicious roast rabbit and thus settled on the main line of development for the Chen family’s future, also planting a suspense for Chen Jun’s military career.
Whether equipment such as small drones and small robots could be researched in time.
Chen Jun was full of anticipation!
Chen Zhenhua, who had felt the unique culture of the troops and repaired his relationship with his son, with a full harvest, happily left the next day.
Even though Regiment Commander Wang enthusiastically tried to keep him and asked him to stay a few more days in the troops, Chen Zhenhua did not change his mind.
The reason for being in such a hurry was mainly two aspects.
On one hand, he learned that Chen Jun was busy with work now, bearing heavy responsibilities, with a lot of work to complete, and did not want to delay Chen Jun’s time.
Secondly, there was something even more important that Chen Zhenhua was already impatient to promote.
This was also the main reason!
Chen Zhenhua specially called Old Master Chen last night, asking Old Master Chen to contact his old comrade-in-arms to confirm whether his “future daughter-in-law” was still in the capital.
The old comrade-in-arms knew that Chen Jun was developing in the army. Although he did not know how Chen Jun was doing in the troops, as a veteran soldier, he had a natural good impression of those who served.
So he had absolutely no rejection of the joking betrothal before birth from back then.
He even had a bit of anticipation!
So when Old Master Chen called to ask if his granddaughter was still in the capital and suggested that if possible, let the two of them meet and chat.
The old comrade-in-arms told Old Master Chen the situation almost without any hesitation.
His granddaughter did indeed have something in the capital during this time, but he did not ask what exactly it was, though it could be confirmed that she was definitely in the capital.
“My grandson is not bad, your granddaughter is also excellent, they often played together when they were young, this marriage is definitely set, Old Liao, just wait to hold your great-grandson.”
When Old Master Chen thought about being able to become a great-grandfather, his heart immediately became fired up, and his mouth was about to grin crookedly.
After hanging up the call with the old comrade-in-arms, he immediately relayed this good news to his son Chen Zhenhua and urged him to quickly settle the matter.
In order to hold his grandson as soon as possible, so that the foundation painstakingly built by the Chen family would have a successor.
Chen Zhenhua naturally did not dare to delay time.
He decided to first arrange a place to meet the future daughter-in-law, then find a suitable reason to arrange for her to meet Chen Jun.
Chen Zhenhua firmly believed.
As long as the two sides could get to know each other one day earlier, the grandson might be born one day earlier.
That was why Chen Zhenhua was so impatient. The next day, after eating breakfast in the troops and saying goodbye to Chen Jun, he had the driver take him straight to the capital.
While in the car, through Old Master Chen, he contacted the old comrade-in-arms to notify his granddaughter to choose a place in the capital and meet with Chen Zhenhua.
……
Chen Jun still did not know that his old dad had hurriedly left the troops to find him a wife, and thought it was really because he was worried about his heavy workload.
As soon as Chen Zhenhua left the troops, Chen Jun threw himself back into work.
Striving to write all the manuscripts needed for the lecture in the shortest time possible, ideally within a week, and send them up for approval.
Complete the task of the lecture tour in advance, without delaying the next step of the combined arms battalion’s promotion.
Now the combined arms battalion was in a rest period, with no exercise or martial arts competition tasks or anything like that. Chen Jun had already written the lesson plans for all the combined arms tactics intensive training subjects.
Each company only needed to train step by step under Battalion Commander Gao Cheng’s command.
However, the training during the rest period was just a transition, aimed at maintaining physical condition before the troops were fully staffed, so they could quickly integrate into the new training phase later.
It would not last long.
Once the newly expanded tank company, infantry company, and army aviation company, plus the newly added missile platoon, as well as all kinds of updated and iterated new equipment arrived.
The combined arms battalion would fully start up and enter the intensive training phase of maximizing combat effectiveness.
Chen Jun expected that within a year, Steel Seventh Battalion would complete all combined arms professional training, fully stimulating the combined arms battalion’s combat effectiveness.
Becoming a mature combat entity!
And the division headquarters, the group army’s various leaders of all sizes, even many senior leaders in the war zone, were also waiting for the day when Steel Seventh Battalion verified its achievements.
After assessment comes verification, and only after verification can it be promoted.
This was the connection between past and future.
Once Steel Seventh Battalion completed training and matured, the superiors would inevitably take a series of actions, starting to have Steel Seventh Battalion participate in various large and small confrontation exercises.
Through various confrontations with actual combat as the standard, to test and collect data on all aspects of the combined arms battalion.
To collect valuable information for comprehensive promotion of the combined arms battalion.
Under that high-intensity confrontation, Chen Jun’s time would inevitably become extremely tight.
Chen Jun had to handle all miscellaneous matters in advance, so that he could fully devote himself to the “verification” at that time, allowing Steel Seventh Battalion to withstand various “torments”.
And under this high-intensity torment, grow into a true “fierce tiger” of steel.
Only then could it cope with all challenges in the future series of confrontation exercises by showing impeccable strong combat strength, and beat all troops in the entire army.
Not only the entire army’s first combined arms battalion, but also a well-deserved “entire army’s first battalion”.
And as long as it had the strength and status of the first battalion, it could naturally upgrade again at that time, starting a more powerful combined arms regiment establishment.
Let “Steel Seventh Company” step into a new level.
Going higher and higher, farther and farther.
Until reaching the peak!!
……
While Chen Jun was proceeding steadily according to plan, Chen Zhenhua’s progress on the other side was not smooth, only because it fell apart at this critical moment.
The internally designated daughter-in-law of the “betrothal before birth”—
Liao Qiuxue had actually run away!!
According to the apologetic explanation from the old comrade-in-arms Liao Haidong, Old Master Chen figured out the whole story and really found it both funny and annoying.
His own grandson was an oddball, and her granddaughter was also unconventional.
Both were the type who did not want the superior conditions at home and insisted on choosing a harder path outside, tormenting themselves in every possible way.
He could only call his son Chen Zhenhua and tell him about the change in events.
Chen Zhenhua was stunned after hearing it, and the first thought in his mind was Chen Jun. These two were simply amazing, with such highly consistent ideas.
At the same time, it further strengthened his idea, feeling that the two of them were simply a perfect match.
But now that Liao Qiuxue had run away, the “blind date” matter could only be put on hold for the time being, keep paying attention, and wait until Liao Qiuxue came back later to proceed.
In fact, Liao Qiuxue’s escape was not the kind of escape.
She did not even know that someone wanted to set her up on a blind date!
According to the explanation from the old comrade-in-arms Liao Haidong, guessing based on his understanding of his granddaughter.
More accurately, she was quite farsighted with ideas, sniffing out the flavor of the new opportunity in the millennium era, with the path to making big money in the future lying in the technology field.
And in order to prove her talent and ability, she did not want to stay in the family business, living in the shadow of her brother.
She decided to go out on her own and become an entrepreneur.
Her entrepreneurial goal was also very clear: she wanted to start an internet technology company domestically, breaking through by developing software.
Perhaps in this emerging internet era, every entrepreneur’s resonance was the same.
Most future internet giants started with a few like-minded friends in the mode of a studio.
Developing a few pieces of software or programs, earning the first pot of gold before recruiting troops and buying horses.
Liao Qiuxue, with the support of a family business, did not choose to rely on the family’s vast resources, but took the same path as the future internet giants.
Rejecting to work at the family business, choosing to start her own business independently.
And the time she told her family about this decision was the night when Chen Zhenhua was staying overnight in the troops, planning to go find Liao Qiuxue the next morning.
Since it was informed by phone, she only notified Old Master Liao and Father Liao.
A bit of acting first and reporting later, very individualistic.
Regarding Liao Qiuxue’s decision, apart from Old Master Liao advising her not to be impulsive and that individual entrepreneurship was not as simple as imagined.
The others did not pay much attention, and even brought some personal emotions.
Father Liao was currently handing over the group to his son, and was even happier that his daughter did not come back to “seize power and profit.” Her coming back to fight for the family property would give him a headache.
Standard traditional idea of sons inheriting father’s business!
Liao’s mother felt that her daughter would eventually marry out, and finding a good man was better than anything, not only allowing her to live well but also benefiting the family business.
Busy looking for business prodigies for Liao Qiuxue, with no time to care about entrepreneurship.
Standard traditional female thinking!
Eldest Brother Liao Jiansheng’s idea was even more direct, with stronger personal emotions.
“After playing abroad for a few years and learning a bit of superficial knowledge, she thinks she’s all that, entrepreneurship? Is it that simple? Wait until she bumps her head bloody outside, she’ll come back disgraced.”
Liao Jiansheng scoffed, looked down on Liao Qiuxue, and stated there was no need to care.
Acting completely like the head of the family!
From the family’s reactions, it could be seen that Liao Qiuxue’s choice to go out alone was not without aim, but with sufficient reason.
If she stayed in the family business, given their current situation.
No matter how well she did, the merit would be taken by eldest brother.
Even if she made the company perform better, in the end she would not get much benefit, and might even cause conflicts to completely erupt due to huge interests.
In contrast, starting her own business independently had no such troubles.
She only needed to devote herself fully to entrepreneurship!
To find like-minded entrepreneurial partners, Liao Qiuxue took an international flight early the next morning and flew back to her alma mater, Princeton University.
This was the number one university in the United States, one of the three “big ivies” in the Ivy League.
Liao Qiuxue majored in computer science and got her master’s degree at twenty-three, a proper top student.
She had very good abilities in programming, algorithm design, data analysis, software development, etc., which was her capital to enter the internet industry.
Especially in programming and writing code, she had several killer skills.
With her diploma, education, and ability, she could easily enter any domestic internet company.
But to start a company alone, that difficulty was great.
So Liao Qiuxue decided to return to her alma mater to find her good friends and mentors, persuade them to come back to China with her to start a business.
If she could find a few companions or partners, starting a studio back home would definitely rise quickly.
Whether Liao Qiuxue could successfully find partners, her grandfather Liao Haidong had no way to predict, and no way to provide her with any help.
Chen Zhenhua, on the other hand, hoped she could not find any, so he could hold his grandson sooner.
……
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
According to the requirements and instructions in the superior’s document, Chen Jun took the car sent by the regiment and arrived at the military region headquarters to report, and formally connected with the working group.
Tomorrow at nine o’clock sharp, they would set off, starting this lecture tour for the entire group army.
Through the dazzling result in the last combined arms battalion acceptance confrontation, where with various exquisite combined arms tactics techniques, he beat the blue army into a rout with helmets and armor abandoned, Chen Jun’s reputation had already resounded throughout the group army.
Even people who had not seen Chen Jun were at least familiar with his name.
Now frequently occupying headlines in various military reports, even some articles exaggerated more, directly giving the person involved the title of “first person of modernization reform,” coming from the grassroots to the military region headquarters.
It really caused quite a stir at the military region headquarters.
After Chen Jun was arranged to stay at the reception center, the entire afternoon was basically without rest, all receiving leading cadres from the military region headquarters.
It was not until after five o’clock, almost dinner time, that he could finally catch a breath.
On the surface, it was said that it had been a long time since going home, so he came along with Chen Jun to visit home, but actually to use this opportunity to introduce Chen Jun to his father, Gao Cheng.
Personally driving to pick up Chen Jun to eat at his home, finally rescuing Chen Jun from the encirclement.
Chen Jun could naturally see easily that Gao Cheng was intentionally introducing him to his father. For Gao Cheng, who cared so much about face, this was absolutely not a simple matter.
If he did not really want to help Chen Jun, Gao Cheng would never put down his face to ask his father.
And being able to eat at the same table as the top leader was very rare no matter in any industry, and would be of great help to future development.
Especially for more excellent people, the help would be greater.
Chen Jun remembered this favor from Gao Cheng, and also valued this opportunity highly, determined to perform well on this occasion.
As long as he could get the recognition of the top leader, then half of creating the combined arms regiment later would be steady.
Because knowing him meant having a channel, and the plans and programs for creating the combined arms regiment could be directly sent to the top leader’s hands.
That was the origin of half the success!
Gao Cheng’s home was not some standalone building, nor a villa obtained through privilege.
It was just an ordinary apartment in the military region compound, about a hundred square meters, but the location was pretty good, on the third floor, with few stairs and plenty of sunlight.
When Gao Cheng brought Chen Jun in, there was already someone sitting on the sofa in the living room reading the newspaper.
“Dad, I brought the person, he is Chen Jun. Uncle Wang values him especially, our regiment’s combined arms battalion could be set up all thanks to him.”
Hearing Gao Cheng’s shout upon entering, the person on the sofa put down the newspaper, revealing the face blocked by the newspaper, with gaze falling on Chen Jun.
“Leader, good!”
Chen Jun stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted, glancing with his peripheral vision.
The wide and high nose bridge made the face very three-dimensional, the double eyelids with sharp eyes, showing no emotion yet sharp like a knife edge, thick eyebrows like swords, giving the whole person an air of morale.
“No wonder he is the commander of a regiment, sitting there steady as Mount Tai, majestic without anger, what great morale!” Chen Jun praised inwardly.
“No need to be so formal at home, relax, come sit. You and Gao Cheng are about the same age, just call me Uncle Gao.”
Chief Gao folded the newspaper and put it on the table, gesturing for Chen Jun to sit on the adjacent sofa.
From this posture, it could be seen…
Chief Gao was already prepared to chat with Chen Jun!
