In Brigade B, Lin Yi had his own separate office, but it was not next to the brigade commander's office, but in a room at the beginning of the leadership office floor, quite close to the gate.
Going upstairs, the officer on duty was a sergeant. When he saw the unfamiliar face of Lin Yi, he stretched out his hand and said: "Comrade, please show your ID and explain the reason for your visit."
Deputy Director Wang, who was following Lin Yi, said quickly: "What documents do you need? This is our assistant to the brigade commander. You should recognize him carefully. Don't even know what the new leader looks like."
When the sergeant heard this, he quickly stood at attention and saluted.
Lin Yi waved his hands awkwardly, "I'm just a little assistant, not a leader. What Deputy Director Wang said is too exaggerated."
Deputy Director Wang laughed, "Those who work on the leadership floor are not all leaders, so it's not an exaggeration to say so. Come on, I'll take you to the brigade commander's office."
After Lin Yi arrived at the brigade commander's office, he ignored Deputy Director Wang and cleaned up the office by himself. Deputy Director Wang didn't mind either and just sat on the sofa and stayed there.
After a while, a lieutenant colonel came up. Lin Yi saw that he looked very familiar. He should be the group of officers just now, probably a battalion commander. Lin Yi said: "The brigade commander is not here now. If there is anything important, you can
You can go to the political commissar."
The lieutenant colonel smiled quickly and said, "Assistant Lin, I don't have anything to do, so I'm just here to look around. Oh, Deputy Director Wang is here too."
Deputy Director Wang tacitly said, "I'll come and sit down, too."
This afternoon, the brigade commander's office was bustling with people, at least a dozen school officials came up, not counting those who had something to do and many more, and the office became a conference room for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that it was dinner time and they had to go back to notify the brigade commander to have dinner and lock the door of the brigade commander's office, they would not be willing to leave at all.
After seeing off these officers, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief. Throughout the afternoon, it seemed that they were chatting with each other, but in fact they would ask questions for him to answer from time to time. The most obvious question was what was the brigade commander's personality like?
,What are your hobbies? Do you like sports?
Although Lin Yi knew Brigadier Meng last year, he really didn't know about Brigadier Meng's personality and hobbies, so he could only explain it by saying that he didn't know it either.
But these officers can't believe it. As the brigade commander's assistant, how could you not know the brigade commander's living habits? Who would believe it?
But Lin Yi refused to say it, and it was difficult for everyone to ask further questions. They could only continue to ask from the side again, asking in a roundabout way, which really made Lin Yi a little helpless.
After finally leaving the agency, I ran back to the dormitory. As soon as I knocked on the door of the brigade commander's dormitory, Brigadier Meng said: "It's Xiao Lin, the door is unlocked. Come in directly."
As soon as Lin Yi pushed the door, it opened directly, which surprised Lin Yi. Although the army was quite safe, it was still rare for the leadership dormitory to leave the door unlocked.
The brigade commander looked at Lin Yi's tired look and said with a smile: "How do you feel after spending an afternoon in the agency?"
Lin Yi replied directly: "I'm so tired. You don't even know what it feels like to have a dozen school officials surrounding you."
Brigadier Meng smiled and said, "I knew this would be the case, so I don't plan to go to the agency during this period. Please prepare yourself and let's go to the picket team to have a look."
Now go to the picket? But the political commissar and other brigade leaders have already prepared a welcome banquet. If we don't go, we will offend them all at once.
The brigade commander waved his hand, "You are thinking too much. If you are afraid of offending them, then should I still call you Meng Chuan?"
Lin Yi thought the same thing. A brigade commander is the commander of a brigade and the head of the brigade. If you are someone who takes easy things and shirks the hard ones, how can you possibly fulfill this position well?
So he immediately packed up his briefcase and went out with the brigade commander.
The brigade commander was still wearing the uniform of a major this time. When the two arrived at the gate of the picket, they were stopped by the sentry, "Comrade, this is an important picket area. Non-related personnel are not allowed to enter."
Lin Yi took out the brigade commander's certificate that had just been sent by the Political Department in the afternoon and handed it over, "This is the brigade commander. Now he is doing research. Don't contact your superiors. Call the Political Department directly to ask if the certificate is authentic.
, go and do it quickly.”
When the sentry heard this, his throat tightened. He wanted to stand up and shout out to inform the people next to him that the brigade commander was coming, but the sound was stuck in his throat and he did not dare to let it out.
In fact, he didn't doubt the authenticity of the certificate at all. In the army, whoever dared to pretend to be a brigade commander after eating a bear's heart and a leopard wouldn't be living an impatient life.
But the brigade commander put on makeup and came to the picket team to conduct investigations. If he didn't report it to his superiors, if something happened, the leaders would definitely give him some shoes to wear.
But the brigade commander was right in front of him, and even if he gave himself ten thousand courages, he would not dare to tell his superiors about the brigade commander's inspection in front of them.
Lin Yi watched the sentry take the certificate without moving, and asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
The sentry waved quickly, "No problem, I'll call the Political Department right now."
After verifying that the certificate was correct, the sentry exhaled and respectfully handed the certificate back.
Lin Yi looked at the sentry and did not dare to reveal the identity of the brigade commander. He nodded, "Remember, if you leak the news that the brigade commander came to the picket team for investigation, don't blame me for being rude."
The sentry quickly stood at attention and said, "Please don't worry, chief."
At this moment, a car drove over from a distance. When the sentry saw the license plate, he immediately felt that the savior was coming and immediately stepped forward to stop the vehicle.
The driver sounded the horn, but the sentry remained unmoved. The driver lowered the window and shouted: "Don't you recognize the car from the Military Affairs Section?"
The Military Affairs Section is the direct superior of the picket team. Even if the sentry does not know the brigade commander's car, it is impossible not to recognize the Military Affairs Section's car. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, but the sentry remains unmoved.
This made the driver a little annoyed. It was really strange. Is this sentry new here? What the hell is going on?
Just as he was getting ready to argue with the sentry, the military affairs section chief sitting in the passenger seat stopped the driver and said, "Hey, why does that lieutenant look so familiar?"
The driver looked carefully and didn't think he looked familiar. "I don't know him. He must be a young officer who just came to the brigade. Do you know the section chief?"
The section chief thought for a long time, and suddenly thought that this was the brigade commander's assistant who was surrounded by the battalion commanders at noon. He looked at the sentry's nervous eyes and the major officer's calmness, and suddenly felt that his legs were weak.
The chief of the Military Affairs Section, who had a background as a picket officer, could tell at a glance that the major's background was not simple, and he might be the new brigade commander.
Because he has been working in the brigade for more than ten years, if he doesn't know any of the colonels in the brigade, even if the relationship is not good, it is absolutely fine to become familiar with him. But this major has no memory at all. In Brigade B,
Apart from the brigade commander, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could be accompanied by the brigade commander's assistant.
So he immediately jumped out of the car, pretended not to know Lin Yi, handed over his ID, and said: "I am the chief of the military affairs section. I came to the picket team to inspect the work. This is my ID."
Of course the sentry knew the military affairs section chief, but he still picked up the certificate and registered it before handing it back.
