Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 403 No matter how bizarre it is, you must not be surprised!

After hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Uncle Xu was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed out loud.

"You little brat!" Uncle Xu shook his head after laughing, "Why are you so worried?

I'm afraid of this and that. If you're afraid of being famous and being a model, why are you still being interviewed?"

Cao Zhiqiang scratched his head and stuck out his tongue: "That's nothing. I only realized it after being interviewed. When I was being interviewed, I thought it was a good thing."

Uncle Xu chuckled: "So, what do you want me to do? Don't let others interview you?"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "That's best. If it doesn't work, then don't let my matter ferment.

For example, if someone wants to make my matter bigger, such as publishing it in a national newspaper, or if someone wants to use me as a national model, then you can help me reject it."

Uncle Xu smiled slightly: "I understand what you mean, but you can do this kind of thing yourself."

"What do you mean?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Uncle Xu sighed: "Don't you want to be famous or be regarded as a model? Then when the time comes, when others interview you, you can just refuse the interview.

Just like this time you were admitted to the top university in liberal arts. If you refuse to be interviewed, others can't force you to interview you, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned and asked, "Can I really refuse an interview?"

"Why not?" Uncle Xu said with a smile, "We have always adhered to the principle of voluntariness. Even if we want to promote you as a model, we will make it clear to you first and you will agree to cooperate.

If you don’t agree to cooperate, we can’t force you to cooperate, right? There’s no such thing!”

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang blinked and asked, "Is this really true?"

"That's true." Uncle Xu nodded.

After understanding this, Cao Zhiqiang asked again: "So, can I really refuse?"

"Really." Uncle Xu smiled and nodded, "I said, this kind of thing is always voluntary, no one will force you to choose."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "But Uncle Xu, if I remember correctly, you have always been in charge of industry, not publicity. Do you mean what you say?"

Uncle Xu chuckled: "Although I am not in charge of publicity, I am not unfamiliar with this kind of thing.

Besides, Lao Wang, your uncle Wang, is in charge of this, and he is also an old friend of mine, so tell me, will I understand?"

Cao Zhiqiang then said with confidence: "In other words, it's fine if no one wants to use me as a model. If they want to use me as a model, they will definitely notify me in advance and ask me to cooperate. If I don't cooperate, they will not force the recommendation."

I, that’s what you mean?”

Uncle Xu thought for a while and said: "Generally speaking, unless your image is very important and you want to be a national model and model, you need to be notified in advance and asked for your cooperation.

But if it’s just an ordinary report, then your cooperation is not required.”

Having said this, Uncle Xu picked up the Peking Youth Daily brought by Cao Zhiqiang and pointed to Cao Zhiqiang’s report:

"Just like this report, this kind of narrative report can theoretically be published without interviewing you or notifying you. After all, this is news and it must be based on facts.

Even if there are some guiding words in it, such as calling on everyone to work hard and not to be too ambitious, it doesn't matter.

However, if we want to further arrest you as a model, want all parts of the country to learn from you, and want you to be a model, then we must communicate with you personally and obtain your consent.

I definitely didn’t promote you as a model and didn’t communicate with you in advance.

This may have happened in the past, but generally speaking it doesn't happen now.

After all, no one can say what will happen if you don't cooperate.

Therefore, if someone really wants to make a fuss about your affairs, regard you as a model, and want all parts of the country to learn from you, they will definitely contact you first, obtain your consent, and then ask you to cooperate with relevant departments to promote it.

.

It's impossible for me to act privately without telling you anything.

When I say this, do you understand?"

Cao Zhiqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, if you say that, then I'll be relieved."

"Hey!" Uncle Xu smiled slightly, "You little brat, I can't see through you more and more. You actually came to me for such a thing. What have you been thinking about all day long?"

Cao Zhiqiang chuckled: "Maybe I'm overthinking this. After all, I like to nip things in the bud."

Uncle Xu shook his head: "No matter what, you did make a bet with me, and you did it. You even exceeded your quota and won the top spot in the college entrance examination.

It would be inappropriate not to reward you for such a good thing.

Well, not wanting to be a typical person doesn't count. After all, you don't need me at all to solve this problem. You can solve it yourself.

If you have any other requests, you can put them forward.

As long as it's something I can do and it doesn't violate my principles, I will try my best to help you do it.

Of course, if you can't think of it now, you can go back and think about it slowly, and come to me when you think of it, and I will cash it in for you."

Cao Zhiqiang raised his eyebrows: "Really? So good?"

"Of course it's true." Uncle Xu nodded with a smile.

Cao Zhiqiang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said with a serious face: "It's true, but when I say it, you have to promise that no matter how surprised you are, you won't be too surprised!

And, you have to promise to trust me absolutely!"

Uncle Xu was stunned: "What are you talking about? Is there nothing wrong with you?"

Cao Zhiqiang looked around: "In short, you must promise me that after I tell you what is going on, you will not tell anyone about my situation, or if others ask, you will not tell me before I will tell you.

Otherwise, I won’t say anything.”

Uncle Xu shook his head: "Okay, okay, I promise you, just say it."

Cao Zhiqiang looked around again: "Is there no one else here? Are you sure it's safe? There are no bugs or anything like that?"

Uncle Xu smiled and said, "Where did I get the bug here? It's just you and me in this room, so don't worry."

Cao Zhiqiang stood up worriedly and went out again to look around.

After making sure that no one was outside, I walked back again.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang's cautious look, Uncle Xu became really curious: "Little devil, what are you doing?"

Cao Zhiqiang frowned, then exhaled, raised his head and said seriously to Uncle Xu:

"Uncle Xu, I only believe in you!

Therefore, you must listen carefully to what I say next, no matter how bizarre it is, you must not be surprised!"

"Speak quickly!" Uncle Xu said impatiently, "Don't be pretentious!"

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Okay, I'll say it.

Well, I, I received an anonymous letter before, and then, the anonymous letter said, let me go to a place and receive something.

I originally thought it was someone playing a prank, so I didn't pay any attention to it, and of course I didn't go to that so-called place.

But one day, I was at home...well, it was a new courtyard house I bought in Houhai, where I lived with my girlfriend.

Ahem, anyway, that day, my girlfriend happened to be away from home and went to school, so I was the only one at home.

Then when I was home alone, I suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground in the yard.

I went out to take a look and found a package in the yard. Someone must have thrown it in through the wall from outside.

Then I opened it and looked, hey, you know what I found?"

"What did you find?" Uncle Xu couldn't help but ask.

Cao Zhiqiang blinked and said: "It's a complete set of technical information on NATO's 5.56mm SS109 ammunition!"

"Ah?" Uncle Xu was stunned, "What?"

"Full set of technical information on NATO's 5.56mm SS109 ammunition!" Cao Zhiqiang repeated again.

“It’s all the bullet manufacturing process, including the manufacturing process of the cartridge case and bullet, as well as the entire formula of gunpowder!

By the way, there is also all the technical information on a bullpup rifle.

I have never seen this rifle before, but it looks very powerful and advanced."

"Hiss?" Uncle Xu opened his mouth wide, "Seriously?"

"Of course it's true. How dare I lie to you about this kind of thing?" Cao Zhiqiang said with a bitter smile, "There are drawings and photos in the information, but I have carefully hidden them. I am the only one who knows where the things are.

It was only after that that I became scared and didn’t dare to live at home, so I started to stay in big hotels.”

"Oh, that's right." Uncle Xu nodded, "Indeed, the last time Silly Zhu came over to talk about you, I heard that you have been living in a big hotel for a while, and said that you live a luxurious life. Is that so?"

"Yes!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "If it weren't for fear, who would be willing to stay in a big hotel every day."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Okay, Uncle Xu, I will go and show you the information."

Afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly: "I don't know who came to me, why they came to me, and why they gave me the things. But, ever since I got this information, I was so scared that no one dared to tell me.

Originally, I thought, just pretend it never happened and I wouldn't tell anyone else.

Don't blame me, I'm just a common man and I'm really afraid of this kind of thing.

But, but..."

"But what happened?" Uncle Xu asked with a serious face.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed: "However, some time ago, I received another anonymous letter, saying that the previous information was just a meeting gift, and that he asked me to go to Japan and give me something more important."

"Something more important?" Uncle Xu asked, "What is it?"

"I don't know!" Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "It didn't say anything in the letter."

"Where's the letter? Let me see it." Uncle Xu asked.

"No more." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "I burned it!"

"Burned?" Uncle Xu frowned, "How could it be burned?"

Cao Zhiqiang flattened his lips: "The end of the letter asked me to burn it. After burning it, I had to crush the ashes, stir them with water, and scatter them on the ground, so that no one would find out."

"Hey, you are careful enough." Uncle Xu shook his head, "Are you so obedient?"

"That's necessary!" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "I'm just an ordinary citizen. When something like this happens, I, I'm afraid!"

Uncle Xu frowned, tapped his fingers and thought for a while, then asked: "Is everything you said true?"

"It's absolutely true!" Cao Zhiqiang said, "The complete set of technical information on the NATO 5.56 mm SS109 ammunition, as well as the information on a bullpup rifle, are all at my place. I can bring them to you at any time."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said again: "Uncle Xu, I only believe in you, and I only dare to bring it to you. I can't trust anyone else."

"Don't worry about it yet." Uncle Xu asked, "Since it's what you said, I definitely believe it. But, how long have you had this information?"

"It's been a long time." Cao Zhiqiang said, "It's been a while."

"Then why did you just say it today?" Uncle Xu asked.

Cao Zhiqiang sighed and said: "I originally wanted to hide it forever, after all, I didn't know what was involved, and I couldn't tell whether the information was true or false.

So, it’s better to do less than to do more. I originally planned to keep it as my personal secret and keep it sealed forever.

But this time, they wrote again and said they had something new for me.

Although I don’t know why you fell in love with me, I think, what if it’s true?

What if those things are really useful to the country?

Therefore, I first applied to be sent abroad by public servants in the name of music exchange.

I will come to see you after the application is successful.

Actually, originally, I wanted to go to Japan first, meet up with that person first, and then come to you after getting the things.

But when I thought about it, I was alone and had never been an agent. If something happened, I wouldn't be able to account for it.

So after much deliberation, I decided to discuss it with you first."

Uncle Xu nodded: "You are right to think so, but I think you should bring the things to me first to see if they are true.

It’s just a prank, if it’s true…”

"How is it really?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Uncle Xu squinted at Cao Zhiqiang and said faintly: "If it is true, then your matter is not a small matter."

"Uncle Xu." Cao Zhiqiang pretended to cry, "Don't scare me, I'm just an ordinary citizen!"

"Ordinary people?" Uncle Xu chuckled, "Ordinary people can't do what you do."

"That's my own ability!" Cao Zhiqiang said quickly, "I rely on my ability to make a living, not on crooked ways!

But, the technical information, especially the weapon information, is really beyond my ability."

Uncle Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then laughed: "Well, you go and bring the things to me first. Maybe it's not as serious as you said, it's just a prank."

"Okay." Cao Zhiqiang smiled bitterly, "I also hope it is a prank, but, those things are too realistic, no matter how you look at them, they are not real."

"Then you can show it to me." Uncle Xu chuckled, "If it's true, I'll make sure you don't have to worry about it."

"Really?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at Uncle Xu, "Can you really protect me?"

"Really!" Uncle Xu nodded.

"That's OK!" Cao Zhiqiang stood up immediately, "Uncle, please wait here, I will get the things for you right away!"

Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was about to leave, Uncle Xu quickly said: "Wait a minute, will it be dangerous for you to go alone? Do you want me to find someone to go with you?"

"No need!" Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "Only I know where the things are buried. Few people know and there are fewer hidden dangers.

It's been so long. If something were to happen, it would have happened already. I'd better go get the things for you first.

Furthermore, didn’t you also say that this is not necessarily true and could be a prank?

If it's really a prank, then you mobilized a lot of people to send people to follow me. If it turns out to be true, then I won't become a joke?

It's okay to make a fool of myself in front of you, but to others, I still want to save some face."

Uncle Xu smiled and nodded: "Okay, then be careful on the road and go back quickly."

"Okay!" Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his hands, "You wait later, I'll be back as soon as I can!"

After saying that, Cao Zhiqiang quickly left Uncle Xu's house and got into his Citroen CX20 sedan on the roadside.

Fasten your seat belt skillfully, start the engine, shift into gear, lift the clutch, step on the accelerator, and drive away.
