Cicada Moving

Chapter 516 Reunion again

 Gu Qi was talking about what happened when he received the silent alarm and ran to the door to support him. Zuo Zhong had a dumbfounded expression on his face. It was like a flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple, and his family no longer recognized his own family.

He suppressed a smile and asked: "Then, is my grandfather angry? If you had informed me earlier, how could this happen? Where you arranged them, you must keep it secret.

Our Secret Service is a sensitive unit, and its work content is very special. Be careful that the drivers and servants see things that you shouldn't see and hear things that you shouldn't hear. It's ancient, and only by being careful can you sail the ship for thousands of years. "

“Don’t worry, deputy director. The old man is not angry. He also asked me to reward the guards at the door. He said that the Secret Service has the style of Xiliuying. If the country and the army are like this, why should they be afraid of Japanese pirates.”

 Gu Qi explained with a smile, and then told the arrangements for the Zuo family: "The old man and the others are resting in the cafeteria for the time being. The driver and servants are waiting in the car. I have sent surveillance personnel."

As the chief of the intelligence section, it is his duty to ensure that the information is not leaked. The deputy director's family members cannot come and go at will on the classified floors. Japanese spies are pervasive, and there is no harm in being cautious about everything.

Zuo Zhong nodded with satisfaction after listening. The Japanese threat was imminent. Without good military discipline, there was no way to win. He couldn't control other places, but the Secret Service must remain vigilant.

The car was speeding on Jinling Road and soon turned into Hong Gong Temple. Gu Qi drove the car directly to the canteen and saw Zuo Zhong's younger brother Zuo Jun, younger sister Zuo Duo and He Yijun standing at the door.

When they were in Ningbo, the two learned fighting skills from each other. Naturally, they were very happy to meet again this time. The three of them were talking and laughing until they heard the sound of a car and turned their heads together.

 “Zuo Jun, Zuo Duo.”

As soon as the car stopped, Zuo Zhong opened the car door with a smile and waved. After not seeing each other for more than half a year, his brother and sister looked much more stable, not as careless as before.

 This is good. People say that wealth cannot last more than three generations. If the descendants of the next generation are incompetent, no matter how much family property is passed down from the ancestors, it will be useless. The family will inevitably fall. Only one's own ability is real.

 “Big brother.”

 “Big brother.”

The two people over there rushed over immediately upon hearing the call. Zuo Duo happily took his arm and whispered: "Brother, my grandfather just lost his temper, but he will be fine after a while."

Zuo Zhong touched the girl's head: "That's because my grandfather has a lot of people and doesn't anger innocent people. By the way, how are your studies? Did you get the teacher's permission to come to Jinling this time?"

“My mother helped us take a vacation from the school when we came here, and the textbooks were in the car. Don’t worry, brother, I will be the first female scientist in the Republic of China from now on.” Zuo Duo raised her neck and said playfully.

Zuo Zhong couldn't help but tugged at her chubby little face and sighed. There will be wars in the future, and there will be no place for a quiet desk in the Republic of China. But why is it that only Zuo Duo is answering.

He glanced suspiciously at his younger brother who seemed to be calm, and his face darkened: "Zuo Jun, why don't you say anything? What did I say when I left home? Did you do something wrong by relying on the power of your family?"

  “No, no.”

Zuo Jun shook his head desperately: "Everything is going well in the school, but as graduation is approaching, I am a little hesitant about which path to take in the future. Many students are preparing to apply for Central University and Army University.

 Now that the country is being bullied by foreign powers, it stands to reason that men should join the army and fight for a chance for the nation. However, I really have no interest in military affairs, so I don’t know how to answer. "

 It turned out to be a matter of willingness.

Zuo Zhong pondered for a moment. Unlike later generations, universities in the Republic of China followed the path of independent enrollment. Students first submitted their applications to the school, and the school conducted interviews and written tests at a fixed time.

 Because the system is imperfect and the admission standards are flexible, it is easy for the rich and powerful to take advantage of the loopholes. Many college students in the Republic of China relied on their family connections to successfully enter higher education institutions.

As the younger brother of the powerful deputy director of the Secret Service, it can be said that Zuo Jun can go to university wherever he wants. Luo Zhixi, the president of Central University, owes him a favor.

If it weren't for the tight-lipped tone of the Intelligence Department, the deeds of a certain minion would have spread throughout Jinling. Moreover, the old principal Zhu Jiahua was very powerful in the education system of the Republic of China. Who would dare not to sell face?

  It’s just not appropriate for Zuo Jun to stay in the Republic of China to study. The first is the quality of teaching, and the second is the changes in the current situation. Life is fragile, and a bullet of a few cents can destroy everything.

 Besides, when my grandfather and father came to Jinling, they were probably preparing to expose the scam at Beilun Pier. By then, the other party would be very dangerous in the country. Don’t overestimate the moral bottom line of those businessmen.

Zuo Zhong patted Zuo Jun's shoulder calmly: "It doesn't matter, I will discuss it with my family. In Jinling, I can still talk to you, eldest brother. You don't have to worry about anything else."

 “Okay, brother.”

Zuo Jun seemed to be obedient and replied obediently, but he knew very well in his heart that his eldest brother was more than just a talker in Jinling. Not long after they arrived at the cafeteria, several waves of people came to flatter him. Some people wanted to send a house, some wanted to send guards, and some wanted to send a radio station. They said it would make it easier for Deputy Director Zuo to contact his family. In short, they wanted to enshrine the Zuo family.

He is indeed not very old, but he clearly understands the reception and delivery matters. If it were not for his status as the eldest brother, those officials who looked very impressive would never be so polite.

Just like in Ningbo, people in the government and party headquarters also respected the Zuo family very much. Even the mysterious groups in the school tried to recruit him several times, but he didn't agree.

Zuo Jun considers himself a rational person and knows that some friends can be made and some friends cannot be made, at least not in an upright manner, otherwise it is easy to get into trouble and implicate his family.

More importantly, slogans and leaflets alone cannot save the Republic of China. Everything they do must ultimately be implemented into actions. Their current task is to learn and use knowledge to arm their brains and bodies.

 So if his family agrees, he hopes to stay in Jinling to go to school. Why not take advantage of his good family background? As long as he behaves upright and sits upright, it is not a bad idea to take shortcuts.

 “Well, let’s go in first.”

Zuo Zhong knew nothing about his brother's thoughts. He opened the door to the cafeteria first and walked in. From a distance, he saw his family sitting at the dining table and resting. He felt slightly excited.

He walked up quickly and bowed deeply: "My grandson Zuo Zhong has seen his grandfather, grandfather, father and mother. He came to Jinling without any notice, so that I could send someone to protect him along the way."

 Zuo Xuechen, who was talking to his in-laws, looked at his grandson sideways, nodded slightly and said: "It seems that there is no leisure in the yamen, but he is a little thinner than during the Spring Festival. You should pay attention to your health.

This time I came in a hurry, so I didn't give any advance notice, so protection was unnecessary. Back then, I went to Hangzhou to take the imperial examination and set out from Ningbo alone. I didn't encounter anything along the way.

 Besides, with so many people and cars, ordinary thieves and robbers can't hide. How dare they come forward to cause trouble? If you encounter the government's checkpoints, the few special passes you left are enough.

I heard that you are studying at Army University, which is very good. You must not take credit and be arrogant after being promoted to deputy director. The more the superior officer appreciates you, the more you have to walk on thin ice. It is always beneficial to learn more. "

 “Yes, my grandson knows.”

Zuo Zhong replied seriously that this is a special way for the older generation to express their concern. Although the words are not nice, every word comes from the heart. No one except close relatives wants to remind them like this.

“Okay, in-laws, let’s get together as a family. Don’t be so sullen. Zuo Zhong is much better than the few useless things in the Mei family. It’s not easy to be the deputy head of an important agency.”

At this time, Zuo Zhong’s grandfather next to him joked. The crisp suit he was wearing was very conspicuous. He was indeed the most famous gold medal comprador in Shanghai decades ago. He was dressed in a very Western style.

Zuo Zhong hurriedly said modestly: "Grandpa, you are exaggerating. Several of my cousins ​​have made a great reputation in Hong Kong and Shanghai. They have acted as agents for many foreign companies in their trade transactions. Even I have heard about them."

What he said was the truth. Several of his uncles and cousins ​​were doing business with foreigners from all over the world. They were involved in everything except smoke and dirt. They perfectly inherited the comprador business of his grandfather.

Anyway, the Zuo family and the Mei family are determined not to run away in the future registration. One is a big landowner and the other is a big comprador. They are a perfect match. If they don't leave, the family will be reunited in prison sooner or later.

“Mei Tianliang, don’t compare those little **** in your family to my grandson. I heard that some time ago, someone painted variegated bristle with black paint to pretend to be black bristle, which cost British businessmen a lot of money.”

At this time, Zuo Xuechen said something strangely, yes, the name of Zuo Zhong's grandfather was a bit shocking. For a businessman to call him this name is like telling his customers that I am going to kill you.

But the Mei family was in the comprador business, and foreigners didn’t know what homophones meant. Chinese people who wanted to buy Western-produced goods had no choice but to buy them. The name Mei Tianliang once resounded throughout half of the Republic of China.

Mei Tianliang was not angry after being exposed by his old relatives. He straightened his suit and raised his head and said, "The goods list clearly says pig bristles, but it doesn't say black pig bristles. This matter has nothing to do with our Mei family."

Zuo Zhong's father Zuo Shanwen and mother Mei Huizhen stood aside with helpless expressions. They were very happy to see their son, but before they could even speak, the old naughty pair started to quarrel.

Zuo Zhong was also dumbfounded, and quickly and respectfully interjected: "Grandpa, grandpa, the journey to Jinling is hundreds of kilometers. We are all tired of traveling and traveling all the way, so you should go home first."

Of course, the home he was talking about did not refer to the dormitory in Bing. The deputy director of the Secret Service did not need to ask for a house if he wanted to borrow it. He would have his subordinates help him. I am afraid Gu Qi had already arranged everything.

Sure enough, when the Zuo family walked out of the cafeteria, a little agent handed over a key with both hands and whispered an address. It would be better to say that only when you become an official can you know what happiness is.

  8:50. . . . I fell asleep and stood up all night writing.
