Chapter 26: Kid, you've run into me!

Li Xueshan, accompanied by his orderly, came up the stairs and was curiously looking over here.

The female officer, who was about to lose her temper, instinctively did the same as Chen Geng, heels together, standing at attention and saluting, loudly saying, "Hello, Sir."

As for Zhang Xiangyang, this poor kid was so scared by the Deputy Political Commissar of the military region that he was dumbfounded. Although he was also saluting, his foolish expression clearly showed that this was an instinctive reaction.

Forget it, we won't pay attention to him; he's not the main character anyway.

"You all are well," Li Xueshan replied with a smile, then his gaze lingered between Chen Geng and the temperamental girl, chuckling, "Is it our outstanding student? Yes, Comrade Chen Geng, you and Comrade Lin Shuyao... do you know each other?"

So this obviously spoiled girl is called Lin Shuyao? What a waste of such a gentle and beautiful name. Chen Geng inwardly complained. Despite his complaints, Chen Geng certainly didn't show his emotions in front of Li Xueshan, smiling, "No, we just met, and had a brief chat."

"..."

Lin Shuyao immediately pouted: She was about to say, "Who cares about knowing this kid," but didn't expect Chen Geng to beat her to it.

However, Li Xueshan's attitude towards Chen Geng made Lin Shuyao a bit curious: Why is the Sir so polite to this thick-skinned kid? What's his background? I've never seen him before.

Not knowing each other? Li Xueshan's expression was clearly surprised, as if he wanted to say something but then thought of something else, shook his head, and asked Chen Geng, "Yesterday, Director Li called me to ask about your situation. Just right, tell me, so I can let Director Li know that his soldier is not being bullied under my command."

Director Li Jianguo actually called to ask about his situation? Chen Geng was truly moved that Director Li Jianguo still cared about him even after he left, feeling deeply touched, "Yes, Sir..."

"Come in and talk," Li Xueshan waved his hand, signaling the orderly to open the door of his office. Seeing Lin Shuyao hesitate, he couldn't help but feel a bit strange, "Comrade Lin Shuyao, do you have something else?"

"No... nothing, no no no, I do have something," Lin Shuyao's face immediately showed a look of panic, hastily saluting Li Xueshan, "Report, Sir, I have something to do, I'll leave first."

"This little Lin..." Li Xueshan watched Lin Shuyao flee in a flustered manner, shaking his head with a smile, without any sign of anger or blame.

Leaders are always more magnanimous.

However, compared to Lin Shuyao, Li Xueshan was clearly more interested in Chen Geng's work situation. When he heard that Chen Geng was assigned to the Third Military Equipment Repair Factory's Third Industry Office, his face immediately turned angry, cursing Peng Guangming for his incompetence.

After Chen Geng explained that he had applied to go to the Third Industry Office to train himself in the toughest position, the anger on his face eased, and he praised Chen Geng, finally asking, "Comrade Chen, tell me, what brings you here?"

The chief of the military region is not someone Chen Geng can see just like that. Fortunately, Chen Geng's luck was good. Yesterday afternoon, he contacted Li Xueshan's secretary, and coincidentally, Li Xueshan was not on a business trip and was at the military region headquarters. After getting Li Xueshan's approval, Chen Geng had the opportunity to meet him. But this was only because Li Xueshan valued Chen Geng; otherwise, if anyone else tried, they wouldn't get the same treatment.

"Sir, I'm here to seek your help," Chen Geng felt a bit embarrassed thinking about asking Li Xueshan for help.

"Seek my help? Sure," Deputy Political Commissar Li laughed, not particularly surprised, "Tell me, as long as I can help... hmm, do you want to return to the military region?"

"No," Chen Geng quickly waved his hands, "Sir, I want to borrow a jeep from the military region, for half a year."

"Just borrowing a car?" Li Xueshan never expected Chen Geng to come for such a trivial matter, looking very surprised: I'm the second-in-command of the East China Military Region, the fifth most important person in the region, and you come to me for such a minor thing?

Realizing this, Li Xueshan turned to look at the orderly and secretary: What kind of job are you doing?

Knowing that Chen Geng came for such a trivial matter, the orderly was so ashamed that he wanted to bury his head in his pants: This is really bullying the leader.

Oh no!

No one wants to offend the leader's secretary. Although Li Xueshan's action was small, Chen Geng had been paying attention to his movements, quickly explaining, "Report, Sir, I didn't explain clearly to Secretary Wu..."

"It's fine," Li Xueshan waved his hand, asking with interest, "Is it related to the carburetor production line you introduced from Germany?"

"Yes, it is related..."

"Great! Then I'll approve a jeep for you, plus a 750 sidecar motorcycle, as support for your work." The leader is the leader, generous to the extreme, buy one get one free.

Li Xueshan didn't continue to ask, and Chen Geng also breathed a sigh of relief. He was still hesitating about how to explain to Li Xueshan, quickly saying, "Thank you, Sir!"

"Go ahead," writing a note, Li Xueshan said, "Go to the fleet to pick up the car."

When Chen Geng took the note, he was a bit puzzled: What was that strange look Li Deputy Political Commissar gave me?

Soon, Chen Geng understood why Li Xueshan gave him that strange look.

Seeing the person in front of him, Chen Geng's mouth opened wide: Could it be this coincidental?

Zhang Xiangyang was squatting on the ground, pulling his hair in despair.

The person sitting behind the desk was also surprised when she first saw Chen Geng, but then her surprise turned into a smug smile, the kind of "You're in my hands, I'm so smug, I'm so smug!" kind of smug.

Of course, in Chen Geng's view, she had every reason to be smug, as she had just suffered a small setback at his hands... even though Chen Geng didn't think so... Now, in a blink, he was in her hands, how could she not be smug, how could she not be happy?

Seeing Chen Geng's surprised look, Lin Shuyao felt extremely comfortable, more comfortable than eating three ice cream bars: You're so smug, you're so arrogant!

Indeed, the only person who could make Zhang Xiangyang so depressed that he was squatting on the ground pulling his hair was the female officer named Lin Shuyao whom Chen Geng had met at the door of Li Xueshan's office.

Chen Geng and Zhang Xiangyang never expected to meet Lin Shuyao here, and it seemed that Lin Shuyao was a small leader in the fleet. Lin Shuyao also didn't expect to meet the guy who made her lose face so soon, and it seemed that this guy needed her help... Could there be anything more satisfying than this? She thought she was doomed to lose face.

Chen Geng clearly knew how difficult it was to deal with a woman with such a smile. Although he was already sighing in his heart, he still tried to force a bright smile, "Comrade, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Lin Shuyao originally planned to give this guy a good lesson for making her lose face in front of the leader, but seeing the male colleagues around her, her eyes suddenly turned, and her expression became soft and charming, seemingly happy, "Yes, what a coincidence, I didn't expect it either."

Hmm?

The ears of the other men, or male officers, immediately perked up.

Lin Shuyao's tone made Chen Geng shiver, a thought quickly flashing through his mind: Damn! I'm going to have a bad day today!

Chen Geng really wanted to turn around and leave.

Even with just a bit of common sense, he could tell that this woman was a treasure of the department. If he provoked her, he wouldn't have a good time.

How could Lin Shuyao let him off so easily? She had never lost face in front of a leader before, all because of this guy!

"Let me see what you have in your hand," her eyes twinkled, and before Chen Geng could react, the note from Deputy Political Commissar Li Xueshan was already in her hands. Seeing the content, Lin Shuyao was a bit surprised, "The Sir personally approved a 750 motorcycle and a 212 jeep for you?"

Forget it, it's already like this. I don't plan to pursue this woman, so you do as you please. I don't believe you will be wary of a man who won't become your rival like a protective wolf. With the attitude of "more debts, less worry; more lice, less bite," Chen Geng was open-minded... even if he wasn't, he had to be... shrugging his shoulders, he said casually, "Of course it's useful."

Unexpectedly, this guy didn't give her any face, Lin Shuyao subconsciously bit her lip, feeling even more annoyed, "What use?"

Who is Chen Geng? Since he had already decided not to have too much interaction with this woman to avoid trouble, he was quite straightforward, pursing his lips, "What I do is none of your business, right?"

Hearing Chen Geng's words, the men around him looked at him with more respect: As long as he wasn't here to compete for the only unmarried, single female officer in the department, and the only one in the Political Department, they could still be friends.

Lin Shuyao didn't notice this, her eyes twinkling mischievously, she said smugly, "Who said it's none of my business? This place is under my jurisdiction. Want to take the car? You have to pass my test first!"

"Oh?" Chen Geng suddenly snatched the note from Lin Shuyao's hand, saying lightly, "Then I'll go tell Deputy Political Commissar Li that without your approval, his note is useless."

Ha ha... little girl, want to play mind games with me? You're still too young!
