Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 171, Reward

March 25, 1959, Beijing Nanyuan Airport.

When Zhao Mancang was hugged by Wei Huayong, he was stunned.

Because the leader appeared in his sight. He was the leader of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street. This was the fifth time he had seen this leader.

The previous four times he met with the leader were in the office of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street. This time it was at Nanyuan Airport, which was something Zhao Mancang had not expected.

"Comrade Mancang, we are relieved to see you return to the capital safely."

The leader laughed loudly, while Wei Huayong, Hou Jianhua, Gui Nian'an, Li Chengwu and others stood aside with auntie smiles on their faces and said nothing.

Zhao Mancang said a few humble words and was about to report his work, but was stopped by his leader.

After waiting for about half an hour, the other planes landed safely and the ten tons of gold were also protected.

A special person came to inspect the ten tons of gold. The leaders just stood aside and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was correct.

There is no doubt that the ten tons of gold that Zhao Mancang brought back this time did make a great contribution.

Especially in this era, if an ordinary person had gold worth more than 12 million US dollars, he would probably choose to hide it.

Money and silk touch people's hearts!

But Zhao Mancang took all the gold back directly.

An hour later, in the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Gui Nian'an, Li Chengwu, Hou Jianhua, Wei Huayong and others were in the office, and Zhao Mancang was reporting on his work in detail.

"I dug these ten tons of gold in a small valley in Pangantukan, Mindanao. This is how it all started."

"I had no idea what to do at the time, so I happened to run into the KGB from Moscow at the market. I followed them, but I didn't expect to find Hedresen, Brian, and Furukawa."

"So I intercepted the three of them and took them away for interrogation. Hedreson and Brian were already dying. I couldn't save them even if I wanted to, and I didn't want to save them either."

"Later, I took Furukawa to report to this Kimura man and went to Pangantukan to dig up these ten tons of gold. In fact, there were also arms. Those arms were all on the merchant ship and were very well preserved."

In order to increase his persuasiveness, Zhao Mancang did not even take the arms, but threw them all into the merchant ship and chose to hand them over.

Ten tons of gold was already a lot for a colonel, not to mention that when Furukawa reported the news, the gold was buried secretly. Even the other people in Kimura didn't know about it. You can imagine how secretive it was.

If the gold buried in Pangantukan were to become known to outsiders, it would never be Zhao Mancang's turn.

From the fact that Furukawa reported that more than 41 million US dollars in cash had been buried without anyone noticing in Inadaji Temple in his hometown of Yamatokoriyama City, Zhao Mancang knew that this person was extremely cautious and was very good at planning in advance.

Unfortunately, all this benefited Zhao Mancang.

"I knew that Furukawa Baoxin was a dishonest person, so I kept him alive to scare him."

"After that, I chose to store the gold in a hidden place in Mindanao. I took Furukawa back to Kimura and went to his hometown, but I still didn't dig up any more information. The list I reported to the leader last time was just one of them, and the part about the money was gone."

"But when I passed the news back to the capital, I was exposed, so I had to flee."

"Fortunately, I returned to Mindanao and then returned to Hong Kong and Kowloon with gold and arms."

"Leader, these are the details of my tasks during this period. I have completed my report. Please give me your instructions."

The office was silent and no one spoke. No one expected that Zhao Mancang would be so bold as to go to Kimura alone with Furukawa the informant.

What was most unbelievable to them was that he actually disguised the Furukawa informant as a seriously ill person who needed a wheelchair, and still got away with it.

Ten tons of gold were just thrown in a secret place on Mindanao Island, and it took nearly half a month to go back and take it away. Zhao Mancang was really bold.

Because of this, the leaders of the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street didn’t know what to say.

Nowadays, our country is in great shortage of gold and the reserves are too small.

Foreign exchange is not so easy to earn, not to mention that we still need to repay our debts, especially this year, the drought is much worse than last year. Khrushchev and his team once again mentioned the negotiations on the long-wave power station construction project, and repeatedly forced us to make concessions.

All the difficulties ultimately come down to one word: poverty!

If the family was a little wealthier, it wouldn't be so difficult.

The current situation is like a house that is leaking everywhere and may collapse at any time. It depends entirely on the tall people to support it and barely keep it from falling down.

The silence of the leaders is deafening!
Zhao Mancang thought they had discovered his flaw, so he remained silent, reflecting on what he had just said. Well, it was impeccable, so he relaxed.

He was so bold that he hid all 73 tons of gold and 41.5 million US dollars in cash because he was not afraid of being investigated.

I'm not even afraid of being discovered by them.

Who would have thought that he had system space?

As for the pseudonym Zhao Changshou, it was even more impossible for them to discover it, because in the eyes of outsiders, Zhao Changshou started from scratch and made a lot of money by publishing newspapers.

As for where Zhao Changshou got the funds to establish the "Hong Kong Daily" and "Ming Pao", no one should have dug deep into the matter. Even if someone did, that was the first time Zhao Mancang appeared with the 500,000 pounds deposited in the Hong Kong and Kowloon HSBC Bank.

Therefore, no one will find the flaw at all.

Unless Zhao Mancang himself takes the initiative to expose the identity of Zhao Changshou, it is impossible for outsiders to discover these secrets.

In addition, the most crucial thing is that Zhao Mancang has already brought back ten tons of gold. Everyone's attention will obviously be focused on the ten tons of gold, rather than questioning whether Zhao Mancang has hidden other gold.

From the two tons of gold Zhao Mancang brought back in January to the ten tons of gold now, it is enough to prove how "loyal" he is.

"Comrade Mancang, on behalf of the other leaders, I thank you for your bravery and fearlessness."

After the leader reacted, he looked at Zhao Mancang seriously and said with a gentle smile.

Wei Huayong and the others finally reacted, and their expressions when they looked at Zhao Mancang became even more complicated.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mancang and his colleagues left the I-shaped building office and got into Wei Huayong's tattered jeep.

"Mancang, you're amazing! You're the lucky star of our 108th Department. I didn't expect you'd bring back so many in less than three months since joining our department."

Zhao Mancang smiled and said, "Leader, I haven't completed the task yet, and the lone wolf is still at large."

"Hey, let's not worry about that for now." Wei Huayong waved his hand indifferently.
"Now is your moment of glory. Ten tons of gold! Haha! Our 108th Department has never been so wealthy. Really, I should thank you."

"Did you see the look in your leader's eyes just now? He showed how much he values ​​you."

"We all know that you are a highly skilled doctor, but we never imagined you had such great luck and strength. In the entire 108 departments, no, no, no, even in this country, or even in the world, there are probably only a few people with your level of skill."

The jeep was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

But soon, when Zhao Mancang's eyes fell on several thin pedestrians on the street, his smile faded.

"Old Wei, has the capital become increasingly dry these days?"

When they returned from Hong Kong and Kowloon, Hou Jianhua and his team mentioned the drought problem in the north to Zhao Mancang. The latter certainly knew about the drought, but he had not seen it with his own eyes, so he really didn't know.

"Yes, it's really dry. I heard that if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid we won't be able to harvest much winter wheat, maybe even the seeds."

Winter wheat is harvested in April and May. It is already March 25th, and there is not much time left until the harvest.

Wei Huayong's tone became much more serious, no longer as cheerful and relaxed as before.

But he didn't care too much, and was even optimistic that it might rain tomorrow.

The jeep stopped in Guozi Lane. Wei Huayong and Zhao Mancang returned to the office and had a brief chat. Then they began to disguise themselves.

After a while, Wei Huayong said to Zhao Mancang, "You should have a good rest. Come back tomorrow after you have rested well. I believe the reward will be given out soon."

"Okay, thank you for troubling Lao Wei."

Zhao Mancang nodded, but did not make any requests. He believed that the leader would make some arrangements by now, right?
Wei Huayong did not send Zhao Mancang back to Dongguanying Hutong because he was afraid that the latter would be exposed.

At the gate of No. 35 Courtyard, Zhao Mancang pushed the door open and returned to this temporary residence and walked straight in.

Back here, he is Chen Zhijian.

I haven't been back for a month, and the house is covered with dust. Fortunately, no one dares to come in, let alone occupy my home.

All we can say is that Zhao Mancang had done something before and scared the neighbors nearby.

Of course, the warnings from people like Shao Jiayin, the director of the street office, and Aunt Lu probably also played a big role.

After a simple tidying up, Zhao Mancang fell asleep.

It was not until the evening that Zhao Mancang woke up and went out.

There was no one else near the gate of No. 7 Denglai Hutong, and Zhao Mancang was immediately very satisfied.

The leaders' methods have worked, and people like Luo Yinshui no longer dare to stare at Lin Wan nearby.

Even so, Zhao Mancang did not relax his vigilance, but walked around the area.

There are courtyard houses all around, and the nearest high-rise building to Denglai Hutong is one kilometer away. It is impossible to monitor Denglai Hutong from this place, let alone Courtyard No. 7.

After confirming this, Zhao Mancang nodded with satisfaction.

However, Zhao Mancang still did not intend to tell Lin Huijun that he was still alive. After all, she was a little kid and might not be able to keep the secret. If there was any more trouble, it would not be good.

So Zhao Mancang waited until night fell, around nine o'clock, when all the lights in Courtyard No. 7 were turned off, before he climbed over the wall and went in.

Xiao Hei probably discovered his owner in the evening, so when he saw his owner climbing over the wall, he didn't bark wildly, but whimpered excitedly and wagged his tail, looking very excited.

"Miss me, right? Xiao Hei, that's enough, stop licking."

After a brief interaction with Xiao Hei, Zhao Mancang went to wash his hands.

Although he had warned Xiao Hei not to eat food from outside, let alone feces, he couldn't be 100% sure that Xiao Hei was really clean and had never licked the corpses of other people or animals.

Therefore, the best way is to avoid close contact with animals and pay attention to hygiene.

Lin Wan was not asleep. When Zhao Mancang pushed the door open, she became alert and picked up the rolling pin beside the bed.

"Who?"

"Wan'er, it's me. I'm back." Zhao Mancang spoke quickly to avoid accidental injury.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Wan was immediately excited, especially when Zhao Mancang lit the kerosene lamp. She could see his face clearly and instantly confirmed that it was her man.

They hugged each other, and after being intimate, she started to care whether he had eaten.

"I've eaten. It seems there are no more people watching us outside. Do you know when they left?"

While chatting with Lin Wan about these things, Zhao Mancang took her pulse to confirm her fetal movement.

Luo Yinshui and his men withdrew about ten days ago. The specific time should be around the 14th or 15th. Lin Wan didn't remember it very clearly.

Hearing this, Zhao Mancang had an idea. Isn't this the time for him to inform Wei Huayong that he has found ten tons of gold and apply to return to the capital early?

It seems that the matter of ten tons of gold is too exciting.

This is better. After all, no one likes someone guarding their door every day. It is not easy to live under surveillance.

"You and the baby in your belly are doing well. There's nothing wrong. Keep it up."

Zhao Mancang put away his hand that was taking her pulse, and instead clasped his fingers with hers, chuckling softly:

"It's just that you seem to be a little malnourished. I think it's because you don't eat enough meat. I should be in the capital for the next few days. I will arrange more meat dishes for you then."

Pregnant women should maintain a balanced nutrition, but of course they should not eat too much.

But Lin Wan would definitely not eat too much. She was very thin to begin with, and even now that she was pregnant, she didn't gain much weight.

"Are you trying to treat me like a pig?" Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him, but smiled happily.

Her man is back, which is better than anything else.

The house at No. 7, Denglai Hutong was renovated in just 25 days. Zhao Mancang bought the house from the capitalist Zheng Haidong on February 10th for 1,500 yuan.

When he left the capital, the house had been almost completely renovated. In mid-to-early March, not long after Lin Wan and the others moved in, Luo Yinshui and his people also left.

Now the storm has finally passed, and Lin Wan even asked Zhao Mancang if she could tell others that he was still alive.

This plan was naturally stopped by Zhao Mancang.

Given the current situation, it is certainly not appropriate.

"Wait a minute."

Zhao Mancang pondered for a moment. Perhaps if he made another contribution, the higher-ups might send someone to protect Lin Wan.

Although Lin Wan currently works at the Grain Bureau and lives in Denglai Hutong, it is very close for her to commute to and from get off work.

But she couldn't help but need to go out for a walk, and occasionally she needed to go back to Zhongguancun South Street.

Compared to the house at No. 7, Denglai Hutong, Lin Wan prefers the house on Zhongguancun South Street.

The couple chatted for a while, and Lin Wan could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell asleep in her arms.

Early the next morning, Zhao Mancang packed up and left Denglai Hutong.

At Xizhimen Pigeon Market, Zhao Mancang came here again to exchange for gold.

He still had more than 30 million US dollars in cash, and he had not used all of it to speculate in gold.

Because compared to directly asking HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank to purchase spot gold, he can earn more by purchasing gold in Beijing.

Anyway, Zhao Mancang still has a lot of gold in his hands. Taking advantage of the current increase in gold prices, he must make more money no matter what.

US dollars are very valuable in Beijing, and you can make more money by exchanging them for gold. In the future, you can exchange gold for US dollars again and reap another wave of profits.

This is simply wonderful.

However, today's Xizhimen pigeon market is relatively deserted.

In fact, there are more than a hundred, nearly two hundred people, but there is not a single capitalist.

Since there are no capitalists, no one will buy US dollars.

As for those middlemen, they don't have enough gold, so there is no basis for cooperation between the two sides.

Although there are many capitalists like Zheng Haidong, Su Yuanfu, Zhou Wenchuan, and Xie Zhenfa in the capital, it is not so easy for him to meet them.

"Then let's go look for Yuan Yushan and Wu Zhigui some other day?"

It is obvious that both parties are top-level figures in the field of speculation. They are extremely bold and powerful people, and they definitely have powerful backers.

Previously, Wu Zhigui ate up one million kilograms of Zhao Mancang's five million kilograms of grain, and Yuan Yushan and his leader Ma Jiugong directly ate up four million kilograms.

So characters like this are, of course, very different.

Early in the morning, Zhao Mancang arrived at No. 8, Guozi Lane, Mule and Horse Market Street, and Wei Huayong was already waiting for him.

"Are you here? Are you ready? Good, good, let's go."

Seeing Zhao Mancang come in, Wei Huayong immediately asked with a smile on his face.

There were four people in the yard: Mo Changzhi, Liu Sanshui, Zuo Changsheng and Pan Chengdong, but no one else was seen.

The four of them all knew that Zhao Mancang did not complete the task, but brought back ten tons of gold.

"Wow, Mancang, can you take us with you next time you set out?" Pan Chengdong asked flatteringly with his eyes shining.

If I could complete the mission with Zhao Mancang, I could just take off.

Wow, Zhao Mancang only completed two missions, but he brought back twelve tons of gold.

It's so arrogant!

"Mancang, ignore him. If we follow you to complete the mission, we will be holding you back." Zuo Changsheng knew his own limitations, so he slapped Pan Chengdong away.

However, Mo Changzhi and Liu Sanshui just stood aside and said a few words of congratulations, because their relationship with Zhao Mancang was very ordinary, and naturally they could not be as casual as Pan Chengdong.

Wei Huayong scolded Pan Chengdong and made sure that Zhao Mancang was ready. Then he took Zhao Mancang into the car and drove the jeep away from Guozi Lane.

Zuo Changsheng and the other three looked on eagerly, their faces filled with envy.

The car drove for a while before arriving at Lingjing Hutong. When it stopped, Zhao Mancang saw four guards standing at the gate of the yard and was immediately surprised.

Hey, you came to this place?
After Wei Huayong got out of the car, they were asked to remove their weapons and were also subject to body searches before being allowed in.

There was no way, this courtyard was different. After entering, Zhao Mancang and Wei Huayong were arranged to rest in a waiting room. They rested for about ten minutes before being called out.

In the yard on the other side, when Zhao Mancang and the others came in, there were only staff members there, but the leaders soon appeared.

After seeing the leader, Zhao Mancang was still very happy and excited.

This time, the reward was particularly different. I received a first-class medal of honor and a lot of cash as a reward, a full one thousand yuan.

However, compared with the last reward of 3,000 yuan, it is 2,000 less.

Maybe they think Zhao Mancang doesn't need so much money?
In addition to the honor and cash prizes, the only remaining prize is the car.

A jeep imported from Moscow, well, a second-hand jeep, not a new one.

The reward was given directly to Zhao Mancang.

When Zhao Mancang saw the car keys, he was stunned and immediately declined.

Wei Huayong, the department leader, only drives an old jeep. He certainly can't drive such a "luxury" car.

However, the leaders were obviously well prepared. It was time to replace Wei Huayong's jeep with a Jinggangshan sedan produced by the Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Plant.

The Jinggangshan brand car was successfully trial-produced on June 20th of the previous year. Although only more than 20 cars successfully passed through Tiananmen Square by the 10th anniversary of National Day in October 1959, more than 100 cars were produced in total.

Wei Huayong was indeed very happy at this time. Perhaps he was lucky to have gotten a Jinggangshan brand car that could successfully go on the road, but it was also possible that the car would break down soon.

After learning about this, Zhao Mancang still put forward his own idea, which was to replace the jeep with a Jiefang truck manufactured by FAW.

Because the truck can also be used as a transport vehicle, it saves the 108 departments from having to borrow from other departments every time they need to work, so it is better to just ask for a truck directly.

Upon hearing this, the leader waved his hand and rewarded the 108th Department with another truck.

Wei Huayong was immediately overjoyed. This was even happier than the Chinese New Year.

Logically speaking, the leaders should not be so generous. After all, there are a limited number of cars, and each place and department is clamoring for them. If anyone gets one more, then others will get one less.

Last year, when Zhao Mancang was still working at the steel plant, he wanted to change his car on a business trip to FAW Manufacturing Plant, but it turned out to be a dream.

Even leaders like Xing Shuqi couldn't be convinced, let alone Zhao Mancang?

Zhao Mancang has just joined the 108th Department not long ago, and not only does the department itself have a truck, but Zhao Mancang himself also has an assigned vehicle.

Everything is moving in a better direction.

"Let's go pick up the car!"

After coming out of Lingjing Hutong, Wei Huayong excitedly took Zhao Mancang back to Guozi Lane, called Zuo Changsheng and Pan Chengdong, and the four of them headed towards the BAIC Manufacturing Plant together.

Wei Huayong got his Jinggangshan brand car here. Zuo Changsheng and Pan Chengdong screamed with excitement, their faces flushed.

However, the leader of the BAIC Manufacturing Plant had a sullen face and almost had a conflict with Zhao Mancang and the other three.

Later I found out that this was not the leader of the BAIC Manufacturing Plant at all, but the leader of other departments who came to pick up the car.

In fact, Wei Huayong's level is enough to afford a Jinggangshan car, because it is not a luxury car.

Well, BAIC Motor is planning to use the Buick sedan as a template to imitate the Dongfanghong BJ760 car. It is still in the trial production and development stage and will not be ready until next year.

This Dongfanghong luxury car will be the car for future leading cadres.

Of course, the Jinggangshan brand car was also a luxury car of that era, and not everyone was qualified to drive it.

After picking up the car, the four of them continued on their journey to FAW's office in Beijing.

As a result, the Jinggangshan car broke down halfway.

"No way? You're going to lie down right now?"

Zhao Mancang was speechless. He watched helplessly as smoke came out of the front engine of the car and then it just stopped.

Wei Huayong, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was also in tears.

This is outrageous. It has only been driven a few kilometers and it broke down like this?
There was no choice but to leave Pan Chengdong alone. Zhao Mancang and others drove their old jeep to the FAW Manufacturing Plant office and took the Jiefang truck away.

The Jiefang brand trucks rolled off the production line at the beginning of this year. The vehicles shipped to Beijing were originally intended for use by other units, but Zhao Mancang and his team had already obtained a note from their superiors, and the leaders of the FAW Manufacturing Plant were powerless to do anything about it.

After returning to Guozi Lane, Wei Huayong felt sorry for his Jinggangshan car, so he called Mo Changzhi and Liu Sanshui, and they all brought it back to Guozi Lane together.

That's right, Wei Huayong plans to fix it himself.

As for expecting people from BAIC Manufacturing to repair it?

Stop dreaming!

The number of workers at the BAIC Manufacturing Plant is limited, and it is impossible for them to help Wei Huayong repair the car.

There’s no such thing as car after-sales service these days. If something breaks down, you just have to fix it yourself.

Moreover, the other three Mo Changzhi all knew a little bit about car repair because they could all drive.

The warriors of the 108 departments are almost all all-rounders and know a lot.

Especially driving skills, which are the most indispensable during the execution of the task.

Not to mention Zhao Mancang, who can even fly a plane.

"How can I fix it so it won't break down next time?"

Wei Huayong muttered something, and Zhao Mancang smiled and said:

"It's easy. Next time we go out, we'll find you a brand new engine and just replace the engine in this car."

Pan Chengdong immediately rolled his eyes and said, "Mancang, how can a brand new engine be so easy to get back?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened and he said, "Oh, right, how could I have forgotten you? You are an unconventional person, maybe you really can succeed in this matter."

At this moment, the head of the intelligence department, Meng Zhichang, walked into the yard with two people and said to Pan Chengdong with a smile:

"Xiao Pan, what are you talking about? There are three cars parked in your yard, which is quite nice."

Wei Huayong came over quickly and started showing off, saying that his Jinggangshan car was not in good condition. It broke down after driving less than two kilometers, and he didn't know what to do now.

Meng Zhichang was speechless for a moment. This guy Lao Wei actually showed off in front of him?

After the joke, Meng Zhichang introduced the two leaders of the grain company, Bai Yongwang and Guo Bingyu. The latter immediately explained the purpose of his visit, which was mainly because the current situation was very bad. To be precise, it was a problem of food shortage.

The grain company has received a task and needs to go out to purchase grain. They hope to cooperate with the 108 departments.

"When do you need someone?" Wei Huayong immediately asked:
"Look, our department's top warrior, Comrade Mancang, is right here. If you're not in a hurry, let him rest well and then set off again. He's sure to surprise you."

Both Bai Yongwang and Guo Bingyu were very surprised. They didn't expect that the person in front of them was Zhao Mancang.

Both Bai Yongwang and Zhao Mancang had heard of Zhao Mancang's name, and it could even be said that it was well-known to them.

Whether it was the medical exchanges in Moscow before, Zhao Mancang's fake death and escape, or the two tons of gold brought back by the 108th Department, and the ten tons of gold brought back yesterday, these were no secrets to Bai Yongwang and the others.

Because when they followed Meng Zhichang to the 108th Department, they heard the latter's detailed introduction.

"No rush, no rush. The leaders above are still discussing it. We won't know the details until the leaders have a meeting in the southwest. So it will probably be a month later."

Upon hearing this, Wei Huayong said:

"That's hard to say. Comrade Zhao Mancang will need to continue his mission of investigating the lone wolf in half a month, so he won't be in the capital for long. We don't know when he'll complete his mission, so we'll talk about it later."

It was impossible for him to let Zhao Mancang wait in the capital for more than a month just to wait for the task from the grain company.

Therefore, such an arrangement depends on luck at most.

If it really doesn't work, we will send other people to perform the escort mission.

Guo Bingyu nodded, and suddenly pointed at the Jinggangshan car and asked:
"Director Wei, you're truly amazing. Your superiors rewarded you with a luxury car like this, but why did it break down?"

"Oh, stop talking." Wei Huayong suddenly became depressed, and then brought up the matter of repairing the car again.

Just as Pan Chengdong and Zhao Mancang were discussing how to bring back more brand-new car engines from abroad, Guo Bingyu and Bai Yongwang exchanged glances, and the latter suddenly interrupted:

"Comrade Zhao Mancang, can you really bring back brand new car engines? How many of these engines can you bring back?"

It would be great if it really succeeds.

Their grain company also needs car engines, or even trucks to transport grain.

Assuming that Zhao Mancang can really bring it back, even if it is just a few cars like this, it would be a very good thing.

Pan Chengdong fell silent immediately, while Zhao Mancang shook his head and said:

"Comrade leader, I'm not sure either. I have no experience and I don't know yet."

Taking on tasks on your own initiative is not a good thing.

If you do well, you will get verbal rewards at most. If you don’t do well, you may get complaints or even hatred.

Bai Yongwang quickly said:

"It's okay, it's okay. We're just asking. If you can bring back an engine or a car, that would be great. If not, that's fine too. Your safety is our top priority."

He is not stupid, otherwise he would not be able to be a leader.

After knowing Zhao Mancang's past, it is natural to respect the other party's opinions.

In the past, Zhao Mancang just didn't want to go to Moscow, but so many things happened afterwards.

Although Bai Yongwang and others don’t understand why Zhao Mancang chose to join the 108th Department and is willing to go abroad to carry out missions, there is no doubt that he has the idea of ​​"breaking the jar and throwing it all away".

And Zhao Mancang is now out on a mission, so safety is more important.

After briefly discussing the matter, Bai Yongwang, Guo Bingyu, and Wei Huayong went to the office to continue the discussion. In the yard, Zhao Mancang and others gathered around the Jinggangshan car and discussed the matter.

It took half a morning to finally repair the car.

In the afternoon, Zhao Mancang's jeep returned, and Wei Huayong helped drive it back.

As soon as the jeep arrived, Zuo Changsheng and the other three were extremely envious.

They had been in the 108th Department for several years, and not only had they not gotten a car, but the entire department only had one car, a tattered jeep.

But now, it can be considered a big upgrade.

The yard was full, with four cars in total.

The gate of No. 8 Guozi Lane has been specially modified, otherwise cars would not be able to enter.

After all, the gate of a general courtyard house is a Guangliang gate or something like that. This type of gate is very small, and bicycles, motorcycles and the like can still fit in, but it is not so easy for cars.

Not to mention that there is also a Jiefang brand truck, which makes it even more different.

In the evening, after Zhao Mancang got off work, he drove his jeep back to Dongguanying Hutong.

When the car stopped at the door, all the neighbors were stunned.

Wow, is this a promotion?
Zhao Mancang still looked like Chen Zhijian, wearing an ordinary military uniform, but his shoulders were empty, with nothing on them.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate him.

Shao Jiayin, the director of the street office who rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the jeep parked next to the gate of No. 35 courtyard and marveled.

Uncle Tang and several other neighbors nearby asked in a low voice, who is this person in Yard No. 35?

"Don't ask too much, okay?"

Shao Jiayin scolded and then went to knock on the door.

Zhao Mancang, who was cooking, opened the door while washing rice in the rice washing pot, looked at Shao Jiayin and the neighbors at the door, and said:

"Director Shao, what can I do for you?"

He still had that cold face that kept strangers away, but when Shao Jiayin's eyes fell on Zhao Mancang's hand, she froze.

Is it so down to earth?
"Comrade Chen, is this jeep at the door yours?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm just asking. Go ahead and do your thing. I won't bother you."

Zhao Mancang nodded and then closed the door.

The neighbors behind Shao Jiayin were all dumbfounded.

Wow, even the director of the street office is so disrespectful?

Who is this guy? So cool?

However, the neighbors thought of the last time they lined up at the toilet door and the car parked at the door, and they suddenly didn't dare to say a word.

They dared to talk about it in private, but they didn't dare to comment on it in front of Zhao Mancang.

Zhao Mancang didn't take what happened at the door to heart. He had already anticipated this after he learned today that he had been assigned a car.

Although he couldn't drive the car back to No. 7 Denglai Hutong or Zhongguancun South Street yet, he could still share this good news with Lin Wan in the evening.

Actually, now it seems that it is a good thing for Zhao Mancang to put on military uniform and stay in the capital.

As long as he continues to exceed his tasks, he will be promoted quickly. Even if the Siberian cold wind passes through in the future, the impact on Zhao Mancang will be very low.

And by then, he will be able to attack or defend more freely, and he won't have to run to Hong Kong and Kowloon.

"Alas, the experience points contributed by these neighbors are too little. Not to mention compared to Xu Wenluo, they can't even compare to Zhuang Xiaoting."

After taking a quick glance at the system experience value notification information, Zhao Mancang couldn't help but sigh.

People are like this, always so greedy, and their threshold will only get higher and higher.

There is no way. After experiencing Xu Wenluo and Zhuang Xiaoting, two tools, Zhao Mancang really looks down on other tools.

In the evening, Zhao Mancang shared the reward car, first-class medal of honor, cash, etc. with Lin Wan, which made her very happy.

"Is this the First Class Medal of Merit? It's so beautiful, Mancang. Can you promise me that you won't work so hard in the future? My child and I want you to be safe, not... "

Lin Wan said worriedly after being happy for less than five seconds.

Zhao Mancang paused, hugged her tighter, and said to her softly, "Don't worry, I will pay attention to safety and cherish my life."

"You have to be more careful at home, especially when I'm not home. If you see the baby moving, remember to call for help. I've trained Xiao Hei well."

In fact, when it comes to safety, Zhao Mancang is not worried about himself. Instead, he is more worried about Lin Wan.

Although she was not carrying twins, it was her first time giving birth. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell when a woman is dealing with the King of Hell, so she naturally had to be extremely cautious.

So no matter how much he warned, it would not be too much.

It's still okay now. Every once in a while, Zhao Mancang can personally examine her and is more dedicated and responsible than other doctors.

However, even so, Zhao Mancang could not guarantee that no accidents would happen.

They both care about each other in their hearts, so their life is very harmonious.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. During these two days, Zhao Mancang had been looking for capitalists, but people like Yuan Yushan seemed to be busy or in trouble, and he did not find anyone.

It was not until the early morning of March 29th that Zhao Mancang met Yuan Yushan and Ma Jiugong.
