After the conversation in the small conference room ended, Mr. Wu, Xu Jie and Wu Feng were all sent back to Jinya Academy.
I didn't sign any confidentiality agreement when I went there and when I came back.
This made Xu Jie feel anxious.
Unreasonable?
Mr. Wu saw Xu Jie's doubts and smiled:
"Do you think Teacher Xu should sign several confidentiality agreements?"
"No matter what happens, someone should come forward and warn us so that we don't talk nonsense?"
Wu Feng tilted his head and asked: "Grandpa, isn't it?"
He actually had the same doubts.
Mr. Wu shook his head.
"You underestimate the capabilities of our country's relevant departments too much."
"The fact that the three of us were brought there today shows that everything is under the control of the country."
"We went through strict background checks and reviews before we were allowed to know a little bit of superficial information."
"Even if we went all over the world to publicize what we just saw, it would be impossible to get the news out."
"Besides, if a person wants to leak secrets, an agreement cannot restrict anything."
"What can really restrain people's hearts is the recognition from the heart of our nation."
"Those who can be defeated by sugar-coated bullets and betray their own country and nation will not be our fellow travelers."
Wu Feng frowned and said:
"Grandpa, they say there is a gap between the heart and the belly."
"I read on the Internet that some overseas spies are very well hidden."
“Some people can even become middle- and senior-level leaders in some of our units.”
"Grandpa Qin, do they really trust us so much?"
Mr. Wu smiled and said:
"The situation you mentioned is inevitable."
"There are enemy spies in some of our departments. How do you know that there are no our people in some of their departments?"
"Intelligence warfare is always mutual."
"Your Grandpa Qin is not trusting us, but he believes in the capabilities of our national intelligence department."
"In fact, in the coming period, our every word and deed will inevitably be known to relevant departments."
"Including the content of our current chat."
"Until desensitization occurs."
Having said this, Mr. Wu looked at Xu Jie.
"Teacher Xu, I hope you can understand."
Xu Jie smiled and shook his head.
"Old man, I still have the awareness that there is no selfless thing before state affairs."
Is personal privacy important?
Of course it's important.
But in the face of the great cause of the nation, Xu Jie can still handle it clearly.
Xu Jie knew in his heart that the intelligence agency was not targeting him personally.
Everyone is trying to ensure that the country's secret ongoing plan can proceed safely.
That's all.
If you are upright, you are not afraid of the shadows being distorted.
If you have a ghost in your heart, you will cover it up in every possible way.
Xu Jie admits that he has never done anything untoward, so he is naturally not afraid of any backlash or scrutiny.
…
A small farmhouse at the school gate.
Xu Jie invited Mr. Wu and Wu Feng to have dinner together.
The reason why Mr. Wu didn't send them directly back to their hometown in Lijiang Town was because he had something to tell Xu Jie.
Xu Jie could actually guess it.
The world view and values of Mr. Wu’s generation are completely different from those of many people in modern times.
In their hearts, the cause of the country and the nation far exceeds themselves.
Not seeking pleasure, not seeking fame and fortune.
The spiritual world is extremely rich.
In the eyes of many people today, this is a fool's errand.
In the secret base, when Mr. Wu took the initiative to tell Chief Qin that he wanted to join, Xu Jie knew that Mr. Wu and Wu Feng were about to separate.
Sure enough, during the dinner, Mr. Wu said to Xu Jie:
"Teacher Xu, I have something to ask you."
"If nothing else happens, I will be recalled by the country soon."
"After I leave, I hope Teacher Xu can help take care of Xiaofeng."
Xu Jie smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, old man, I will take good care of Wu Feng."
Xu Jie truly admires people like Mr. Wu.
It is true that as a grandfather, the old man failed.
Ever since Wu Feng was born, he has almost failed to fulfill the responsibilities of an ordinary grandfather.
But in Xu Jie's heart, there was really no way to blame him.
Because as a native of the Dragon Kingdom, the old man is worthy of the country, the nation, and the people.
Xu Jie thought that he was completely unable to do such a thing, leaving his small family behind for everyone else.
But he will not stand on the moral high ground and point fingers.
Besides, Xu Jie could see what happened this time.
The old man is not just trying to contribute to the country in his old age.
It was also to use his actual actions to make up for his debt to Wu Feng.
The plans being carried out by the country are grand and huge.
Even though 23 years have passed since the project was established, no news has been revealed.
This also shows how difficult and difficult this plan is.
The old man wanted to explore the way for Wu Feng first, so that he could be more relaxed when he participated in this plan in the future.
This is a bit of selfishness on his part.
Xu Jie can completely understand.
"Xiao Feng, I'm sorry."
The old man smiled apologetically.
"I'm not a good husband."
"He's not a good grandpa either."
"This time, let me be selfish for once."
"Go and add more firewood to the country's fire."
"I hope that in the future you can become what you most want to be."
Wu Feng buried his head in his meal and said nothing. Only a teardrop from the corner of his eye betrayed his heart.
Although he wiped it off quickly, Mr. Wu was relieved.
…
The next day, Monday.
When the students who came to school heard that Wu Feng had been eliminated, they all complained about him.
"What? We, Wu Datou, have all been eliminated?"
"Damn it! There is definitely something shady about this competition!"
"That's right. How can we, the science geeks, not even pass the regional selection for our science geek projects? This is unreasonable."
"Wu Datou, are you really serious? You can even laugh at this?"
"What did Teacher Xu say?"
"Yes, Teacher Xu must be like us and don't believe it at all, right?"
"Our teacher Xu will definitely find the competition organizer."
Facing the indignation of his classmates, Wu Feng smiled and waved his hand.
"Forget it, forget it."
"Teacher Xu also asked the teachers on the referee team."
"They said that my entry project was too advanced and could only be regarded as a science fiction work."
"It's not surprising that I was eliminated."
After hearing Wu Feng's explanation, the students had no choice but to give up.
"Is that so?"
"What a shame!"
"That's right, I thought our class was going to win the first prize in another competition, damn!"
"Don't make any noise, don't make any noise, the monthly exam results are out."
"Let me check, have the monthly exam results been released?"
"Let's go and have a look."
As soon as the monthly exam results were released, students rushed to the school bulletin board.
