The jeep drove smoothly and soon got on the highway, heading towards the airport.
It seemed very quiet inside the car.
The six are all well-trained special forces with strict discipline.
Although they have now completed the identity change, they are still a little uncomfortable with it. Zhou Xing did not take the initiative to speak, and they would not say a word.
"Boss, everything has been coordinated at the airport. You can board the plane at any time between 9:25 and 45."
Zhou Xing glanced at the message sent by the company employee, replied with an "ok" emoticon, then turned off the screen of his phone and put it back in his pocket.
Look carefully at these six bodyguards.
"Tang Long..."
"arrive."
Tang Long, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately sat up straight after hearing Zhou Xing's voice and replied formally.
"This is no longer in the army. There is no need to be like this. We are similar in age, so there shouldn't be much difference... It doesn't matter if we are more casual in the future."
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "As bodyguards, I will have to rely on you for my safety in the future."
"You are joking. With your ability, combat talent and physical fitness... Looking at the entire army, I have never seen you like this."
Tang Long hurriedly replied: "I didn't expect that you would not only bring glory to the country in terms of scientific research, but also make me ashamed in terms of physical fitness."
"But don't worry, when we receive the task, our only responsibility is to protect your safety at every step and ensure that you will not suffer any harm. We will do our best to do it!"
Tang Long seemed to be worried that Zhou Xing looked down on their strength, so he added another sentence.
Zhou Xing's strength is indeed much stronger than them.
But that doesn't mean that the six of them are useless.
After all, in many cases, opponents will rack their brains and use all means to achieve their goals.
At critical times.
They not only protect Zhou Xing's safety, but also eliminate all safety hazards.
Once there is real danger.
They risk their lives to protect Zhou Xing's safety. This is their mission.
Zhou Xing did not continue on this topic, but instead asked: "Among the six of you, who is the captain?"
"Academician Zhou, it's me."
Tang Long said a little embarrassed.
"I said there's no need to be so polite. Just be normal. It's just a normal conversation."
Zhou Xing waved his hand: "Speaking of which, we will probably be together for a long time in the future. It's tiring for you to be like this... It's better to be more natural."
Tang Long saw that Zhou Xing's tone did not sound like he was being hypocritical and polite, so he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I can't help it. The most important thing is that I'm used to it in the army. I'm not used to it all of a sudden. Academician Zhou, please don't Sorry."
Zhou Xing still had some polite words when facing Tang Long, but he didn't say anything else.
After all, they had just met each other not long ago. It was impossible for them to become too familiar with each other. They could only sit back and take their time.
"Speaking of which, you are all the top soldiers of the Long Yan Special Operations Force with a bright future. But now you are arranged to be my bodyguards. You are really overqualified and underused. I feel wronged to you."
Zhou Xing smiled.
"Academician Zhou, please don't say that."
Tang Long said seriously: "You are also serving the country, but you have done a much better job than us. Unlike us, who have no culture and only have brute strength, people like you are the pillars of the country. High-end talents are in demand. We all read the news at that time, and all the brothers admire you very much."
"When we learned that we were selecting a personal bodyguard for you, other brothers also rushed to grab this spot. After all, it is our honor to protect your safety."
"I will never feel a little bit aggrieved in my heart."
Zhou Xing nodded slightly, and then asked: "Are you paid in the army?"
"some."
Tang Long solemnly said: "When we travel, the army will have financial support, and there will also be additional bonuses. It is much more than when we were in the army, which is enough for us to live on."
"That's good."
Zhou Xing said with a smile: "You can keep that part of the funds yourself. When you get to Shanghai, I will arrange for you to join my company, and I will pay you wages by then. I can't guarantee anything else, but I will pay you 100 yuan every year." I should have a salary of 10,000 years, which is my wish."
"How can this be done!"
Tang Long's eyes widened immediately: "We have already received the army's funds, how can we receive your salary again?"
An annual salary of one million is really an astronomical figure for them, but if their quality is not outstanding enough, how can they stay in the special forces.
Their ideals are no longer for worldly money.
"The army belongs to the army, and I belong to me. That's it."
Zhou Xing said inadvertently.
"But...one million is too much."
Tang Long hesitated.
Zhou Xing smiled slightly: "If you follow me, I will not treat you badly. You serve the country in the army and you protect my safety with your lives. Everyone is a hero. I can treat others badly, but only Not a hero."
These words made the six people in the car a little moved and quite touched.
They didn't expect it.
This national academician and the grandson of a great leader actually has such high recognition and evaluation of them.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
With this recognition, in their opinion, it is enough.
"Academician Zhou, we still can't receive this salary."
Tang Long refused with a serious face.
After Zhou Xing heard this, he suddenly raised his voice: "Tang Long!"
"arrive!"
Tang Long tensed up and replied immediately.
"What is the first duty of a soldier?"
Zhou Xing asked in a deep voice.
"Report and obey orders!"
Tang Long blurted out without thinking.
"good."
Zhou Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Now that you are with me, I am your superior. That's right. I will pay you wages. This is my order. You don't need to say anything else."
"this......"
Tang Long hesitated for a moment and could only grit his teeth and reply: "Yes."
"That's right."
Zhou Xing smiled.
Tang Long turned around and glanced at Zhou Xing with a complicated expression: "Thank you, Academician Zhou."
"You're welcome."
Zhou Xing waved his hand carelessly and said: "This is just a small part. If you are willing to take root in the future, you can apply to me at any time. I will arrange housing, cars, and subsequent marriage expenses for you. I It’s all covered too.”
"I would not arrange such treatment for ordinary employees."
