Chapter 164: Shield
A few days later, one Sunday, Zhao Dongsheng boarded a flight to Beijing and went to attend a science and technology seminar of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission.
After reporting at the Jingji Military Region Guesthouse, one of the five major military regions designated by the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, Zhao Dongsheng took a newly developed learning machine from the factory to visit Zhang Haishan's wife Zhao Mei. This learning machine was a gift he specially brought to Zhang Haishan's only son Zhang Hu.
Zhang Haishan is now the deputy mayor in charge of industry and finance in a prefecture-level city in Lingnan Province. If there is no accident, he will be promoted to the executive vice mayor in charge of economy in the city when the government changes its term next year, and his future will be bright.
Zhao Dongsheng already knew Zhang Haishan's background last year. Zhang Haishan's father Zhang Kaitian was one of the veterans of the army. He once served as the commander of the Gyeonggi Military Region, the chief of the General Staff and the member of the Military Commission. He is now a member of the Central Advisory Committee and a special advisor to the Military Commission. He has a great reputation in the army and can be regarded as the mainstay of the army.
Due to the influence of Zhang Kaitian, Zhang Haishan's brothers and sisters all worked in the army, and his nephew and niece also attended military academy, which can be said to be a family of corps.
Originally, Zhang Haishan also wanted to develop in the army, but Zhang Kaitian felt that the children of the Zhang family should go out and make a breakthrough, so he took off his military uniform and went to politics.
Zhang Kaitian lives in the No. 16 courtyard of the Military Commission Courtyard, which is a small courtyard with a three-story red wall building. Although Zhao Mei's unit has assigned her housing, she still lives here in order to take care of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
The Military Commission Courtyard was on high alert. The sentry on duty at the door first checked Zhao Dongsheng's ID, then called the No. 16 Courtyard, and after obtaining confirmation, Zhao Dongsheng was allowed to go in.
Zhao Dongsheng was brought here by Zhang Haishan last year and was fortunate to meet Zhang Kaitian. He was encouraged by Zhang Kaitian, so he found the No. 16 Courtyard with ease.
Zhang Kaitian and his wife went to the south for recuperation a week ago. Zhao Mei received Zhao Dongsheng. Zhang Hu couldn't put down the learning machine and had a strong interest.
Zhao Dongsheng stayed in the No. 16 courtyard for more than half an hour and then left. He took a bus to the Beijing University to find Gu Ling. He put on the pair of wide-brimmed glasses in the middle so that he could try to avoid being recognized.
Gu Ling is now a second-year student in the Department of Economics of the Peking University. Logically speaking, she could not get into the Peking University, which is as famous as Yanyun University, with her grades. However, she successfully "killed" into the International Middle School Students Flying Model Competition held in the United States with the helicopter model that Zhao Dongsheng helped transform, and was lucky enough to win the first prize and was specially recruited by Peking University.
Gu Ling knew that Zhao Dongsheng was coming to school in the afternoon, so she waited for him in the dormitory. When Zhao Dongsheng came downstairs to shout at the window of the third floor dormitory where Gu Ling was, Gu Ling quickly appeared at the window, waved at him, and ran downstairs excitedly.
"Where is my gift?" When she came to Zhao Dongsheng, Gu Ling, who had a ponytail, stretched out her hand to him with a smile. She had been looking forward to Zhao Dongsheng's birthday gift for a long time.
Compared to two years ago, Gu Ling is no longer the young girl she used to be. She is much more mature, fresh and beautiful, lively and cheerful.
"Give it." Zhao Dongsheng smiled and took out a beautifully packaged red rectangular box from the bag he was holding and handed it over.
"So exquisite! Did you make it?" The box was about ten centimeters long and five or six centimeters wide. Gu Ling opened it and was slightly stunned when she saw it, then looked at Zhao Dongsheng happily.
Inside the box is a human-shaped wood carving. From the cheeks of the statue, you can clearly recognize it as Gu Ling, carved by Weiweiqiao, lifelike.
"It took me several days to carve it, and I don't know if you like it or not." Zhao Dongsheng nodded with a smile and said to Gu Ling.
"I like it, of course I like it." Gu Ling took out the statue and shook it at Zhao Dongsheng, and said with a smirk, "You will give me one every year on my birthday from now on."
"Lingling, who is this handsome guy? Let me introduce it to you!" At this moment, a voice came from the dormitory building. Several girls gathered in front of the window of Guling's dormitory, one of whom had a melon-shaped face shouted to her with a smile.
"My boyfriend!" Gu Ling heard this, walked up and took Zhao Dongsheng's arm openly. She first blinked at him, and then said to the girls in front of the window.
Zhao Dongsheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a helpless look flashed in his eyes. He smiled at the girls at the window. Although he thought it was inappropriate for Gu Ling to say that he was her boyfriend, since the matter had already happened, he had to cooperate with Gu Ling to continue the play.
"Handsome guy, we usually help Lingling stop those malicious bees and waves butterflies. Do you have to be more interested?" Hearing Gu Ling's answer, the girls immediately became energetic. They looked at Zhao Dongsheng with interest, and said politely to him. The girl with the melon-faced face who spoke before smiled and shouted at Zhao Dongsheng.
"Caesar tonight, everyone is coming." Before Zhao Dongsheng could speak, Gu Ling had already said to the girls in a sweet voice, and then walked away with everyone's eyes.
When the girls heard this, they cheered. The Caesar mentioned by Gu Ling was referring to the Caesar Hotel, a famous five-star hotel in Beijing. The dishes are very expensive and are not affordable to ordinary people.
Gu Ling would not save money with Zhao Dongsheng. She knew very well that Zhao Dongsheng's bonuses totaled almost 100,000 last year, which was a rich man who was completely rich, and this consumption was no problem.
"Lingling, your joke is so big, it's not good to make people misunderstand it." After leaving the dormitory building, Zhao Dongsheng said to Gu Ling with a wry smile.
"Brother Zhao, you don't know. There are a few boys in the school who hate it very much. They wander in front of me if they have something to do. I'm almost annoyed, so I have to use you as a shield, hoping that they can get out of trouble." Gu Ling looked at Zhao Dongsheng with a smile, and asked with her big eyes, "You won't be willing to save me when you die, right?"
"Okay, what do you ask me to do?" Zhao Dongsheng looked at Gu Ling with some depression when he heard this. Gu Ling's words had reached this point, and it was really hard for him to refuse.
"It's very simple. From now on to dinner tonight, you will play my boyfriend, so those people will believe it." Gu Ling held Zhao Dongsheng's arm tightly and looked at him with a smile, with a sly look flashing in her eyes.
Looking at Gu Ling with a clever smile, Zhao Dongsheng vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't say something was wrong, so he had to smile at Gu Ling and reluctantly agreed to Gu Ling's proposal.
Then, under Gu Ling's guidance, Zhao Dongsheng walked around the campus. Gu Ling snuggled up to him like a bird, and enthusiastically introduced the buildings along the way, looking very happy.
The next day, Zhao Dongsheng went to visit an acquaintance in Beijing and went to the construction of the land bought by Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory in Beijing.
Since 1989, Zhao Dongsheng has purchased land in Beijing for two consecutive years. So far, he has bought a total of five pieces of land. At this time, the land was very good, all within the Third Ring Road.
According to Zhao Dongsheng's plan, he would purchase as much land as possible in international metropolis such as Beijing and Haidu to facilitate commercial development in the future.
Among these five plots of land in Beijing, Zhao Dongsheng has planned the use of three plots, one plot is used as the office of Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory in Beijing, one plot is used to build a shopping mall, and the third plot is a five-star hotel.
As for the other two pieces of land, he had not yet thought about the purpose and planned to put it there first and put it for two years before making plans.
The office, mall and hotel are all being built in an orderly manner. The person in charge of these three projects did not know that Zhao Dongsheng was coming in advance. He accompanied Zhao Dongsheng to inspect and introduced the progress of the project in detail to Zhao Dongsheng. Zhao Dongsheng was very satisfied with the progress and quality of the project.
Under Zhao Dongsheng's helm, Huangzhou Electrical Appliance Factory is gradually developing steadily towards a comprehensive enterprise. Perhaps no one except Zhao Dongsheng knows how it will develop.
After Zhao Dongsheng stayed in Beijing for three days, the scientific research seminar of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission was officially held. The meeting was held in the multi-functional conference room of the Gyeonggi Military Region Guesthouse. The participants were famous experts in various scientific research fields across the country. Most of them were academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Some were wearing military uniforms and some were dressed in casual clothes, gathering together.
Zhao Dongsheng was the youngest of all participants. If it weren't for his attendance certificate hanging on his chest, people would definitely regard him as a guesthouse service staff.
Although Zhao Dongsheng was young, his actions were arranged in the middle of the third row, which was a very good seat. Both sides were academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, which indirectly explained that the organizers of the meeting attached great importance to him.
Zhao Dongsheng humbly greeted and greeted the experts around him. In front of these old experts, he put on a student posture, leaving a good impression on the old experts.
The level of this meeting was very high. Zhao Dongsheng looked at the famous brands on the row of seats placed on the rostrum in front and found that the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, who was in charge of military affairs, was present in person, and there were several members of the Military Commission, and the remaining were the leaders of the National Defense Science and Technology Commission.
Like Zhao Dongsheng, the experts who came to attend the meeting did not know the content of the meeting, but almost everyone guessed that this meeting was related to the Gulf War that ended not long ago. Everyone here was an elite in the industry, so they naturally knew the amazing technological strength that the US military showed in the Gulf War.
Just as the people in the conference room were buzzing and chatting, the front door of the conference room opened and an admiral walked in surrounded by everyone.
