Material Empire

"I'll leave it alone." Feng Tianlei waved his hand and said, "Let the trainer lead the team. It's a rare opportunity for the soldiers to go."

"Really, is this what you said?" Deng Yongjie stared into Feng Tianlei's eyes and asked with a smile.

"Of course it's true. It's not like I haven't seen the sympathy performance organized by China Television in the past..." Feng Tianlei said casually, and the arrogance of the big courtyard children diffused out again unconsciously. However, after he finished speaking, he thought about it and felt that something was wrong, so he couldn't help saying seriously: "Old Deng, why are you looking at me like this... there must be some conspiracy?"

Deng Yongjie shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be indifferent, and said: "I can have any conspiracy, I just convey the order of the head of the group. The head of the group said that there is a famous singer from all over the country who will come to perform this time. They all want to hear her sing. Since Battalion Commander Feng doesn't want to go, that's fine, I heard that Battalion Commander Feng has collected a lot of tapes of that singer, so there's no need to go to the scene to hear her sing."

"What did you say!" Feng Tianlei grabbed Deng Yongjie's collar, his eyes widened: "You mean, Qin Ling is here too!"

"Qin Ling?" Qin Hai was listening, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. Listening to the conversation between Deng Yongjie and Feng Tianlei, it seems that this young battalion commander, who is always arrogant and defiant, is still a die-hard fan of his sister.

Qin Ling has become more and more famous in recent years, her songs are sweet and beautiful, and her popularity is extremely high, as if she has the vigor of "first sister" or "second sister" in the domestic music scene. The most rare thing is that Qin Ling is known for her outstanding integrity when many other artists are frequently exposed to various scandals. She has never been involved in all kinds of lace news such as derailment and showing off her wealth. After she endorsed environmental protection and won the reputation of "Environmental Protection Ambassador", she actively participated in various public welfare activities and became a popular artist with the best reputation in the entertainment circle. .

This time there was a catastrophic flood in the Yangtze River Basin, Qin Hai was busy organizing a group to provide various supplies to the front line of flood fighting, and did not pay much attention to Qin Ling's movements. However, on the radio, he also heard several news about Qin Ling and other artists jointly holding disaster relief charity performances for the disaster area, which made him quite relieved.

At present, the General Political Department, the Ministry of Culture, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and other units are organizing cultural and art groups to condolences to the frontline flood fighting officers and soldiers and the masses. It is not surprising that Qin Ling appeared in the Jingjiang disaster area. The only thing Qin Hai finds enjoyable is that he unexpectedly met Qin Ling's fans here.

"Qin Ling, you don't even know?" Feng Tianlei looked at the half-smile expression on Qin Hai's face, and quickly explained: "She is a famous singer all over the country. It can be regarded as a family five hundred years ago, right?"

It doesn't need to be five hundred years ago, she and I are now a family... Qin Hai laughed secretly in his stomach. The big singer Qin Ling is the younger sister of the well-known entrepreneur Qin Hai, and this matter is not a secret in the entertainment and media circles. However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to Qin Ling, and to avoid diluting Qin Ling's popularity because of Qin Hai's fame, the operation team behind Qin Ling has been deliberately suppressing the spread of this news. Although Feng Tianlei is a fan of Qin Ling, after all, he has limited exposure to entertainment and gossip, so he doesn't know about this.

Although he was snickering in his heart, Qin Hai still had to put on a look of surprise on his face and said, "Qin Ling, I've heard of it, and it seems to be quite famous. Why, Battalion Commander Feng is also a star chaser?"

"Haha, Mr. Qin, you're asking that question." Deng Yongjie said, "We, Battalion Commander Feng, don't chase after any celebrity, but chasing Qin Ling alone is enough to be at the level of unrequited love. If you don't believe me, go and look up Feng In the battalion commander's box, there are at least fifty boxes of Qin Ling's tapes. Even if it is the same song, as long as it is a different version, he will buy a set and keep it. Feng Battalion Commander, tell me, is this the case? "

"I've never denied it." Feng Tianlei replied, poking his neck, probably the whole group knew about his crush on Qin Ling, so he was not afraid of hot water.

"I don't understand, why do you only like Qin Ling...'s song?" Qin Hai asked rather gossip. He himself admits that Qin Ling still has some talents in singing, but he can fascinate so many people across the country. Even Feng Tianlei, who is so cool, is also a loyal fan of Qin Ling. This is a bit puzzling, so he has to ask. .

Speaking of Qin Ling, even Feng Tianlei's eyes became gentle. He said: "Qin Ling is beautiful and can sing well. Everyone has the love of beauty. The most important thing is that she She is a real pure singer, not like those second-rate singers who do all kinds of dirty things behind the scenes under the guise of innocence. She donates money to the Hope Project every year, and for several years participated in the CTV art troupe to go to the border defense and island condolence performances, You say, a big singer can do this, doesn't he deserve my respect?"

Qin Hai smiled and said, "Well, in this case, I have to go to hear Qin Ling's performance too. Didn't Battalion Commander Feng say that Qin Ling and I were in the same family five hundred years ago?"

"Okay, let's go together." Feng Tianlei said excitedly.

"Hey, Battalion Commander Feng, didn't you just say you weren't going? It was agreed that Instructor Dai would lead the team." Deng Yongjie took pleasure in exposing Feng Tianlei's shortcomings.

"Get out!" Feng Tianlei was a little ashamed, glared at Deng Yongjie, and stomped his feet fiercely. Deng Yongjie laughed, ran away quickly, and took his subordinates to work.

"Old Dai, I entrust you to sit on the side of the embankment. According to the notice from the superior, the next flood peak will not come over in two days. There will not be too many things on the embankment in these two days, so everyone can rest more However, we must not relax in guarding the embankment, especially with Chen Yongchao in Erlian, there are many dangerous situations..." Feng Tianlei explained to Dai Guangchao in a rambling manner.

Dai Guangchao was angry and funny: "Old Feng, you should hurry up and tidy up and prepare to lead the team away. I think your thoughts have already flown to the division headquarters. When did Chen Yongchao become the commander of the second company?"

"Uh... this, this..." Feng Tianlei blushed, he gave Dai Guangchao a resentful look, and then went back to the tent to freshen up.

It took a full half an hour before Feng Tianlei got out of the tent, but he already felt like he was a different person. He was so clean-shaven that not even a stubble could be seen. He didn't know whether he had applied face oil or something else on his face, but it looked smooth. He was originally pushing a small cut, but now he has carefully repaired it, showing a handsome and neat look. He took off the tracksuit he had just put on and replaced it with a brand new military uniform. The epaulets with two bars and one star on his shoulders were shining brightly, almost blinding Qin Hai's eyes.

"Battlemaster Feng, didn't you just say that your clothes are all wet? Why did this set slip through the net?" Qin Hai couldn't help laughing when he saw Feng Tianlei acting as if he was about to meet some important person. Yes, he pointed at Feng Tianlei's clothes and asked jokingly.

Feng Tianlei said embarrassingly: "This is the clothes I keep at the bottom of the box, just for such occasions. Going to the division headquarters to watch the sympathy performance, we also have to pay attention to the demeanor of contemporary soldiers, right?"

"I think you want to show your demeanor in front of Star Qin?" Dai Guangchao laughed.

Feng Tianlei said resentfully: "She is a big star, and I am a small battalion commander. How can I let her see it? There are so many people in the whole division, as well as local cadres and the masses. Enough."

Dai Guangchao suggested: "You can tell Commissar Cai that if people come to the teacher to express their condolences, Political Commissar Cai must have the right to arrange it. You have been looking forward to seeing Qin Ling, and now the opportunity is right in front of you. Even if you go up to shake hands or something, won't it become a thought in the future?"

"This... just forget it." Feng Tianlei retreated in a rare way, "It's too inappropriate for this kind of thing... to be arranged by the political commissar."

"If you're embarrassed, I'll give Political Commissar Cai a call. Political Commissar Cai will definitely satisfy this request." Dai Guangchao volunteered.

"No, no, really no." Feng Tianlei held Dai Guangchao and said seriously, "Old Dai, you must not do this, or we won't even be friends, do you understand?"

"Since Battalion Commander Feng doesn't like this method, Instructor Dai shouldn't force others to make things difficult. I will go with Battalion Commander Feng and try to find a front seat for Battalion Commander Feng, that's all." Qin Hai said from the side .

"Yes, yes, yes, I will be satisfied if I can find a seat in the front row." Feng Tianlei nodded repeatedly.

The news of going to the division headquarters to watch the condolence performance quickly spread to the whole battalion, causing a commotion. Because of the limited number of places, each company and platoon conducted a democratic review, and 40 officers and soldiers who performed the most outstanding performance in fighting the flood were selected, and they took a large truck driven by Deng Yongjie and the others to the division headquarters. The selected officers and soldiers were extremely excited. After all, this opportunity to watch the performances of many stars is very rare for them.

Qin Hai chatted briefly with the officers and soldiers, and knew that there were not a few people who liked Qin Ling, but he was the only one who was obsessed with Qin Ling like Feng Tianlei. The soldiers are all under 20 years old, and Qin Ling is already a big sister in their eyes, and she sings nice songs. As far as she is concerned, she is far less attractive to young officers and soldiers than a few "" Xiaohuadan". Things like chasing stars are the easiest way to reflect the generation gap. Feng Tianlei probably fell in love with Qin Ling's songs when he was in his early 20s, and has been loyal ever since.

When it was time to set off, Qin Hai said goodbye to Dai Guangchao and the others, pulled Feng Tianlei into his off-road vehicle, followed the truck carrying the officers and soldiers who went to see the performance, and drove to the division headquarters. Along the way, he and Feng Tianlei talked freely about the world's major events, and the chat was quite speculative. However, Feng Tianlei didn't notice that Qin Hai quietly took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to someone.
