"Wow! I'm not seeing things, am I?"

"How come Director Wei has time to call me?"

Hearing the familiar voice on the phone, Wei Zhengxian, who had come to the rooftop alone, unconsciously smiled, but said in a stiff tone.

I want to send someone to you.

"Hey! I thought it was something important."

"Okay, is he/she a relative of yours?"

"hehe!"

Wei Zhengxian sneered, his tone tinged with a genuine sense of regret.

"I wish they were really relatives of mine!"

After saying that, Wei Zhengxian changed the subject and questioned the other party in an annoyed tone.

"What? In your eyes, I, Wei Zhengxian, am the kind of person who comes to you for favors because of relatives?"

"Look at yourself! You're such a terrible person!"

"After so many years of being comrades-in-arms, can't I even crack a joke?"

"But I am quite curious."

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly paused, and the tone became very serious.

"Since he's not a relative... then what kind of soldier would make you make this special call to send him over?"

Seeing that the other party was starting to show interest.

Wei Zhengxian took out a cigarette from his pocket, but did not light it. Instead, he held it between his fingers and said casually.

"Let's make this clear first."

"If you want this promising talent, you'll have to award him a third-class merit... no, a second-class merit!"

This statement came out.

There was suddenly no response on the phone.

Wei Zhengxian could even picture the astonished expression on his face, and couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

His laughter seemed to anger the other party, causing him to speak out in a fit of rage.

"Old Wei, did a cannonball blow your brain out?"

"Just opening your mouth gets you a second-class merit award?"

"Are your promising talents made of gold?"

Wei Zhengxian had anticipated this reaction, so he didn't rush to explain. Instead, he spoke calmly.

"Check your email."

I sent you a video.

That's all.

Wei Zhengxian hung up the phone without hesitation, lit the cigarette that had been tucked in his hand for a long time, and silently calculated the time in his mind.

Smoke rose.

Standing on the rooftop, facing the evening breeze, Wei Zhengxian seemed to be admiring the distant night view, but in reality, he was recalling the years when bugle calls echoed in his mind.

It has been almost ten years since I left the military.

Wei Zhengxian does not regret his decision, but he often misses the life he spent in military uniform.

More than 20 years of military service have changed Wei Zhengxian in the past, shaped Wei Zhengxian in the present, and will support Wei Zhengxian in the future, allowing him to move forward step by step.

He had also dreamed about it.

If he hadn't left the military, what would he be like now?

Nobody knows the answer.

But today.

By chance, Wei Zhengxian discovered a promising talent.

A new recruit who is far more outstanding than he was back then!

Whether it stems from an appreciation of talent or a deep-seated obsession.

Wei Zhengxian wanted to send Chu Zhao to the land where he had once lived, so that the majestic Kunlun Mountains he had once protected could witness Chu Zhao's growth!

An evening breeze swept in.

The last wisp of drifting white mist beside Wei Zhengxian was blown away.

The cigarette between my fingers had gone out without me even noticing.

After glancing at his watch, Wei Zhengxian took out his phone, confidently awaiting the call.

Just as Wei Zhengxian took out his phone.

The rousing bell rang out suddenly, accompanied by a violent vibration!

Wei Zhengxian did not rush to answer the call, but waited calmly for a while before turning on the speakerphone.

"Get the head of the propaganda department here immediately; I have a task for him!"

"Damn it! He got off too easy!"

"Our division's propaganda mission for this year is settled!"

The other party didn't seem to notice that the call had been connected and was still talking to other people.

Then, a distant "Yes!" came from the other end of the phone.

Finally, Wei Zhengxian heard the other party's excited and thrilled voice on his phone.

"Old Wei! You'd better keep a close eye on him!"

"I want this soldier!"

......

"Engineer Chu, why haven't I seen Xiao Zhao these past two days?"

Inside the changing room of the workshop.

Chu Weiguo and his coworkers changed into their work clothes, preparing to start their workday.

"That brat! I don't know what's wrong with him!"

"They keep going to museums, saying they need to gather materials."

"I told him to take advantage of these few days to exercise, but he won't listen."

"Oh well, never mind."

"Once he gets to the army, someone will take care of him!"

As soon as he said this, someone immediately gathered around Chu Weiguo and teased him with a smile.

"Engineer Chu, you're just being stubborn!"

"Wouldn't you feel bad if Xiao Zhao suffered?"

"Feel sorry for him? I'd love for someone to teach him a lesson he won't forget!"

Speaking of Chu Zhao.

Chu Weiguo would always wear a proud expression, but his words would show his disgust. His coworkers were used to it.

Every worker in the workshop envied Chu Weiguo for having such a promising and sensible son.

"After all these years... Engineer Chu has finally made it."

"When Xiao Zhao graduates, let him work in our factory. He can enjoy the air conditioning in the office. That would be something to be proud of!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Weiguo's smile widened. Just as he was about to exchange a few polite words, a loud "bang" suddenly rang out, and the locker room door was pushed open forcefully!

"What are you yelling about?"

"It's working hours now, and you still have the mind to chat nonsense?"

"You don't want your salary anymore, do you?"

Looking in the direction of the sound.

The newcomer was none other than the supervisor who had recently made things difficult for Chu Weiguo, accompanied by a young man with a youthful appearance.

The manager still wore his signature arrogant expression, and the sleeve on his left arm seemed to be shorter than usual, revealing his expensive watch.

"What are you looking at?"

"Hurry up and change your clothes to get to work!"

The cheerful atmosphere in the locker room vanished instantly upon the arrival of the supervisor.

The workers gritted their teeth, cursing their supervisor with all sorts of vicious words in their hearts, but no one dared to stand up and question his obviously troublemaking behavior.

The workers standing here are mostly like Chu Weiguo, pillars of the family with elderly parents and young children to support.

No one wants to risk their family's future for a momentary argument.

Gradually.

More and more workers changed their clothes and walked toward their workstations under the impatient gaze of their supervisor.

Only after the last coworker left did Chu Weiguo, who deliberately lagged behind, approach the supervisor, bow slightly, and speak in a fawning manner.

"director..."

"My son is going to join the army in a few days."

"I'd like to ask for a day off to see someone off..."

Before Chu Weiguo could finish speaking, the supervisor snorted coldly and interrupted him with a displeased expression.

"Heh, need to take leave again?"

"Chu Weiguo, how many days off have you taken this month?"

"Do you feel that the production tasks in the workshop are too easy?"

"Besides, what does it have to do with you that your son is joining the army?"

In an instant.

A surge of anger rushed to Chu Weiguo's head, causing this universally acknowledged good-natured man in the factory to reveal a hint of anger.

Chu Weiguo wanted to curse, to vent the emotions that had come from nowhere.

But when she thought of her four elderly relatives and Chu Zhao's future...

Chu Weiguo, who had just straightened up, bent over again.

He lowered his head and pleaded with his supervisor, who was more than ten years younger than him, in an increasingly humble tone.

"This is the first time my son has traveled so far from home in all these years..."

"As his father, I have to go see him off..."

"Alright, alright, stop playing the victim with me!"

Chu Weiguo's humble tone failed to move the supervisor; instead, it only made the supervisor more disdainful and cold.

"You're asking for leave, right? Sure!"

"You can forget about getting perfect attendance this month."

"Don't give me any nonsense, this is company policy!"
