Chen Lidong scrambled to dive into the water to make a human wall, but he jumped into the whirlpool and was sucked to the other side by the current. Fortunately, he was pulled out by the soldiers when he got there.

On one side of the river, Chen Shujian didn't know that his son fell into the water. He was surrounded by soldiers now. He could only hold on to the pipe pile to avoid being swept away by the current. Next to him was Ge Wanrui.

When you first entered the water, you had to hug the pipe pile to resist the impact of the water. Now that the soldiers have come down, the impact of the water flow is much smaller.

After Chen Shujian stabilized his body, he looked at the old general next to him and asked curiously: "Chief, what year are you from?"

"41 years old."

"The one who counts snakes?"

"That's Xiaolong! What about you?"

"My monkey number is 3 years younger than you."

"Your accent is not from here."

"I am from Lanshi, Zhao Province. You are not from the south either."

"I'm from Jin Province. Brother, are you okay with water? Don't show off."

"I grew up by the sea, and I have no problem with water. When I was young, I could step on the water and carry my bicycle across the river, and I also blocked the hole. In 1988, when the Blue River rose and the dam collapsed, I also went into the water to block the hole. However,

Brother, you are a bit pushy if you get into the water at your age."

"It's okay, I just came down to sweat."

"But you are a general, how can you charge into battle like a soldier?"

"What's wrong, General? Do you want the children to jump down and stand on top to point fingers? Today I am the leader."

"That's called sitting in command. I've never seen you like this. Hey! You soldiers, keep going! Your leaders are still in trouble!"

Chen Shujian was chatting with the old general and making fun of the officers and soldiers.

In fact, there were soldiers in front of the two old men, behind them, on the left and right, and they could no longer feel the impact of the water flow.

At this time, a soldier beside Chen Shujian said: "Uncle Chen, your son just fell into the water."

"What?"

"He was rescued."

"Where are the people?"

"Take it out to control the water."

"Edmund! Edmund!"

Chen Shujian opened his voice and shouted.

Edmund jumped down and swam to the opposite side of Chen Shujian, "Here I come, boss."

"What's going on, little boss?"

"I accidentally fell into the water just now and choked on the water. I am taking a rest."

"Okay, go ahead and take good care of him. Keep this useless snack away from you. Don't stand aside if he doesn't know how to drink water."

After reading this, the old general asked: "Is your son here too?"

"Um."

"What kind of business do you do?"

Chen Shujian thought for a while and said: "As big as airplanes, as small as iron nails, we can do everything."

"Are you going to brag with me?"

"What's the big deal? Our name is Donghua Industrial Group, have you heard of it?"

"Oh, that's disrespectful. It turns out you're a patriotic entrepreneur. I've heard your name all the time these days. Your name is Chen...Chen Lidong?"

"I'm his dad."

"You have a good son."

"It's my education that's good."

"You are so immodest."

"It's good to plant good seedlings, what's the point of being modest? It's just that after getting rich these years, the children can't bear the hardship. Look at me soaking in the water, trying to hide away as a son, and each generation is worse than the last."

Chen Shujian didn't know whether his words were praise or derogation. Ge Wanrui had no choice but to change the subject and asked: "How many children do you have?"

"Three, two sons and one girl. What about you?"

"We have two children, one and the same."

"Hey, I have one more person than you."

Gu Wanrui was a little dumbfounded: "Are you even going to compare yourself to this?"

Chen Shujian chuckled: "If you don't stay here, what can you do?"

The old general thought for a moment and said, "My son is here too."

"He's also a young general, right?"

"Become a platoon leader."

"I am a hero and a good man, and your son is definitely no different."

General Ge said nothing to Chen Shujian's praise, but there was still a slight smile on his face.

Chen Shujian went on to say: "Oh... As an old man, don't be afraid of being compared with your son. For example, my son can make more money than me."

"Haha! You are really interesting. As long as you don't grow crookedly and you can contribute to the country, it's okay for me to compare with my son."

"That's true. Is your son married?"

"I'm a soldier, so there's no rush to get married."

"My grandson can call me grandpa."

Gu Wanrui was really angry and wanted to criticize the other party, but realized that this guy was not his soldier, so he could only swallow his words.

Chen Shujian didn't pay attention to Ge Wanrui's face at all, but continued chatting: "I tell you, when looking for a daughter-in-law, you must find someone from a small family, so that your son will not be offended..."

"Haha, I have learned a lesson. Brother, you are really interesting. I want you to meet my son one day. He wants to find a college student. I am a little unhappy. I think you should be the one to teach him."

After a while, Chen Shujian said: "Commander, your soldiers are really good. Although these babies are a little tender, they can still endure hardships and are not squeamish. They are much better than those college students."

Gu Wanrui pondered for a while and said: "The key is that our army has a good tradition. The army is a melting pot. Throwing anything into it can make good steel."

"I accept what you say. The current social atmosphere is a bit fucked up. Many young people only think about singing and dancing without learning well, and they are being ignored by others. The one in our electrical machine factory..." Chen Shujian began to complain.

Ge Wanrui listened to Chen Shujian's nagging with one ear, while watching the soldiers throwing sandbags in front to block the mouths.

Chen Shujian continued: "Our company cannot compare with the army. These guys are under my control in the factory, but I can't control them outside the gate. They take Donghua's job and turn around to scold me for this and that. I can't...

..."

Gu Wanrui suddenly asked: "How are your wages?"

"I dare not say that I am the best in the country, but I am definitely the best. I can earn a minimum salary of 1,800 yuan per month."

Ge Wanrui said a little disappointedly: "It's almost the same as the one in Jinling."

Chen Shujian quit his job: "Qianbabai is just a gatekeeper and cleaning person. As long as you have skills and are willing to work hard, you can earn up to two thousand. If you look to the left, there are people from our construction company on that boat. Ordinary workers must

If we can drive to 2,000, those construction captains who command with their hands behind their backs will have no problem getting three or four thousand a month."

"That's really good... Well, let me discuss something with you."

"Brother, tell me."

"A group of veterans will be demobilized before the end of the year. How about you help me resettle a group of people?"

"Okay, it's rare for a leader like you to think highly of me. There is a saying...'you can't ask for anything'...how many soldiers in your military region retire each year?"

"This number is confidential...how many people can you Donghua accept?"

"I want as many soldiers as you have in front of me."

When Ge Wanrui heard Chen Shujian's words, he felt a little guilty again, and quickly explained: "Their education is only junior high school, and their skills may not be... suitable."

Chen Shujian looked at the soldiers in front of him and said: "There is a saying among steel-making people that 'anything can be done with a piece of steel.' I can put such soldiers anywhere. We also have a vocational technical school in Donghua, which offers more than a dozen majors."

, after two years of study, there will be no waste. Sigh... If you are really worried, I will take you to inspect various enterprises in Donghua, and I will definitely not treat them badly."

When Ge Wanrui heard this, he felt relieved and said: "Then I'll bother you, brother. I will definitely take the time to investigate."

Chen Shujian has been holding back too much these days. He has been on duty on the embankment for several days. He is surrounded by young people and no one can chat with him. Now that he is in the water and can't move, he just pretends to be taking a bath and changes the subject.

It doesn't matter how high-ranking an official Gu Wanrui is.

Besides, he had seen the provincial governor these days, and the deputy commander of the military region was not necessarily higher than the provincial governor, so he continued his "talkative" mode.

"Brother, how old is your daughter?"

When Ge Wanrui heard this, he was frightened. This brother just said that his two sons were going to marry each other. He asked him to arrange for the veterans, but he couldn't use this as a condition!

He quickly said: "My daughter has an in-law." Then she raised her head and shouted to the front: "Zhang Liangang, you really want to soak me in the water! Hurry up and arrange replacements, every 20 minutes, don't make the children sick.
