Chapter 135 Get Out of the Army
Sheng Tunan's AI division and moon landing plan were both decided by Mr. Wen.
During those days, Mr. Wen stayed up late despite his illness to meet with Sheng Tunan, trying his best to make the planning details of the AI division and the moon landing plan perfect.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a great effort.
Sheng Tunan admired Mr. Wen from the bottom of his heart. Now Mr. Wen was humiliated by Qu Hui because of his daughter's matter. Sheng Tunan frowned, picked up Qu Hui, and hit Qu Hui's abdomen with his elbow without saying a word.
"Ahhh, you dare to hit me?" Qu Hui screamed in disbelief.
"Dad, let my dad go." Qu Zibin, who had been silent, stood up hurriedly and trotted over to pull Sheng Tunan.
However, before Qu Zibin's hand touched the corner of Sheng Tunan's clothes, he was pulled away by Shen Zhiyan, "Little boy, don't meddle in adult affairs."
Qu Zibin is eighteen years old this year. He was so angry that his face turned red when Shen Zhiyan, who is about the same age as him, called him a child.
He is 1.77 meters tall, which is considered tall in the school, but he is much shorter than Shen Zhiyan, who is 1.85 meters tall. Their auras are also much different. Qu Zibin knows that he cannot beat Shen Zhiyan, but he cannot bear to see his father being beaten like a dog, so he runs to Old Man Wen with tears in his eyes.
Qu Zibin slid to his knees with a whoosh, "Grandpa, Dad is just too angry, that's why he said that. Please ask him to stop. If he continues, my dad will be beaten to death."
Without waiting for Elder Wen to reply, Zhan Xinyue kindly reminded him, "Grandpa, Tunan has avoided the fatal parts. He knows how to use the right amount of force. I guarantee you won't die. If you go to the hospital for a checkup, you won't be considered disabled. It just hurts a lot."
Old Man Wen nodded. He believed in Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan. When Qu Bin said these words just now, the old man wanted to give him a big slap in the face, but he was old and he probably didn't feel any pain even if he hit him with all his strength.
Now that Sheng Tunan has struck out with a powerful punch, Old Wen feels very relieved.
"Grandpa, please save my dad. I beg you." Qu Zibin pretended to kowtow.
"Get up. Your mother's last name is Zou, she's not my daughter, so don't call me grandpa." After saying this, Old Man Wen glanced at Qu Hui, who was already sweating profusely from being beaten by Sheng Tunan. It must have hurt.
"Tunan, stop fighting. Don't waste time on him. Let's pack up and go to the banquet hall."
"Okay, Grandpa." Sheng Tunan threw Qu Hui down, and Qu Hui rolled three times on the thick carpet in the conference room before finally stopping.
"Dad, you let him beat me, aren't you afraid that I will tell others about Wen Hongxia and Ling Feng's scandal?" Qu Hui shouted weakly on the ground, holding his stomach.
This is his trump card, the weapon to control Mr. Wen. Qu Hui dared to scold Mr. Wen unscrupulously and bring Qu Zibin to him just now because he thought that Mr. Wen would not dare to let the family's dirty laundry be exposed.
"Speak now. Speak as soon as possible. Qu Hui, you are incompetent. You have been serving as the army commander for so many years, but you have been idle and have not made any contribution to the country and the army. Tomorrow I will report the situation truthfully to the secretary. There are also problems with your work style. I will recommend that Commander He expel you from the army."
"Do you dare? Aren't you afraid that I will spread the news that Wen Hongxia is having an affair?" Qu Hui's eyes were red with anger. He was unwilling and dared not to believe that Old Man Wen could put aside his pride.
In the 1970s, it was a huge scandal for a woman to have an affair and give birth to a child. Mr. Wen certainly didn't want this to be made public, but he couldn't be threatened by Qu Hui just for his own selfish reasons and for the sake of so-called face.
"I made a mistake when I promoted you to army commander for Hongxia. I can't make the same mistake again. I can't keep you in the army just for the sake of face. If I compromise now, you will keep threatening me with this matter. People are greedy. Your demands will only become more and more excessive in the future."
The old man paused and said slowly: "So, I have decided to revoke your position, and within three days, I will definitely get you out of the army."
Shen Zhiyan acted as a temporary security guard. He picked up Qu Hui and his son, one in each hand, and quickly walked to the back door of the Great Hall of the People and threw them out.
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan accompanied Mr. Wen back to the banquet hall.
Zhan Xinyue looked at the kind face of Old Wen and suddenly thought of her grandmother who was far away in Hunan Province.
The old man is left alone in the countryside. Although he has the help of the village party secretary's wife, they are not living under the same roof. The old man is old, and what if he falls at night and there is no one around? What will happen then?
Thinking of this, Zhan Xinyue suddenly said, "Grandpa, can I ask you for a favor?"
"You tell me." Elder Wen didn't even ask what it was, and said directly, "Grandpa will do it for you."
"Thank you, Grandpa." Zhan Xinyue said obediently: "Grandma Tunan's three sons all died. They died before liberation, and they were not able to enter the Martyrs' Cemetery. I wonder if they can?"
Sheng Tunan was stunned and looked at his wife with gratitude.
Elder Wen nodded: "Okay."
Zhan Xinyue and Sheng Tunan looked at each other and thanked their grandfather again.
The biggest reason why grandma didn't want to leave the Changhong Brigade was that she didn't want to leave her son and husband.
Now that her sons can be buried as martyrs in the Martyrs' Cemetery, grandma must feel gratified.
Then move Grandpa Sheng’s grave to the cemetery next to the Martyrs’ Cemetery, so that the family can be reunited in Beijing.
Now grandma can follow them to the island first. With the miracle doctor Zhan Xinyue by her side, grandma will surely be in good health and live a long life.
After Sheng Tunan's AI engineer develops a robot dog that can go to the battlefield, they can return to Beijing and bury grandma with grandpa Sheng after a hundred years.
Zhan Xinyue was thinking about something and kept walking, and soon arrived at the banquet hall.
All the dishes have been served, but no one has started eating.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, Dong Wushuang came forward first, "Xinyue, are you okay?"
Zhan Xinyue replied softly: "It has all been resolved."
"Where is Zhiyan?" Dong Wushuang stretched his neck and looked back, but didn't see the youngest one.
"I'm back." Without waiting for Zhan Xinyue to answer, Shen Zhiyan ran over and whispered to Sheng Tunan, "I've thrown them out."
Elder Wen, who was standing next to Sheng Tunan, heard this and nodded imperceptibly. Everyone returned to their seats, and Elder Wen raised his glass: "Today is a good day for me to recognize Xinyue as my granddaughter. Thank you all for coming, I toast to you all."
Everyone present stood up and raised their glasses, "Congratulations to Mr. Wen and Comrade Zhan Xinyue."
The wine was good and didn't make you drunk, so everyone drank it in one gulp.
Elder Wen: "Everyone, please eat. If my granddaughter and grandson-in-law need your help in the future, I hope you can help them for my sake."
"sure."
......
Unlike the festive and lively atmosphere in the banquet hall, Qu Hui and his son were thrown by Shen Zhiyan next to the trash can at the back door, looking miserable.
Shen Zhiyan also specifically told the guards at the Great Hall of the People not to let the two men in.
Qu Hui's face was filled with anger, annoyance, regret, and a strong sense of unwillingness.
If he had known earlier, he shouldn't have been jealous of Zhan Xinyue being the granddaughter of Old Man Wen, and shouldn't have brought Qu Zibin to him, and he shouldn't have scolded Wen Hongxia in front of his father-in-law. Although what he said was true.
But no father in this world can accept anyone calling his daughter a slut or a bitch in front of him.
Qu Hui was beaten so badly that he could not move his strength and sat on the ground. It was a hot day and there were many flies around the trash can, some of them were flying over Qu Hui's head.
"Dad, let me help you up first. Let's go rest for a while under the big tree over there." Qu Zibin helped Qu Hui up and walked towards the shade.
"Dad is sorry for you and your mom." Qu Hui leaned against the tree trunk, two lines of tears flowing out.
"I really don't have the ability to lead troops in battle, nor do I have the scheming mind. I have endured it for so many years, but how come I can't bear it now that good days are coming?" Qu Hui covered his face and burst into tears.
When Qu Hui was young, he abandoned his childhood sweetheart in order to get promoted. After marriage, he was unhappy, so he got together with Zou Hongmei and gave birth to Qu Zibin. For more than 20 years, the identities of Zou Hongmei and her son were not public, which was the biggest pain for Qu Hui as a man.
Seeing the scandal between Wen Hongxia and Ling Feng exposed, Qu Hui wanted to do something for his son, so that Qu Zibin could call him father with dignity and give Zou Hongmei and her son a better life.
"Dad, don't blame yourself. I know you are doing this for the good of mom and me. I understand your efforts." Qu Zibin squatted down, held Qu Hui's shoulders and comforted him.
"Zibin, I know you are sensible. The more sensible you are, the more guilty Dad will feel. My position as army commander will be removed soon, and I will be kicked out of the compound. I can only return to my hometown in disgrace. Dad can no longer pave the way for you in the future." Qu Hui hugged his son and cried bitterly.
If he could do it again, Qu Hui would have to wait until Wen Lao died of illness and then adopt Qu Zibin as his own son. That way, he would still be a glorious army commander.
However, there are all kinds of medicines in this world except for regret.
"Dad, since they don't let us live easily, we can't let them live easily either." Qu Zibin's eyes suddenly became sinister: "You have been hurt so badly, don't you want to take revenge?"
Qu Hui raised his head and asked blankly: "How can we make their life difficult?"
"I heard that Sheng Tunan became the commander of the AI division. Dad, someone contacted me and said that if I could provide clues to catch Sheng Tunan, I would have the opportunity to go abroad."
Qu Zibin raised his head and looked at him blankly. It took him a while to react and he slapped Qu Zibin on the left cheek.
"Why did the person who contacted you want to arrest Sheng Tunan? Is it because he is the commander of the AI division and doesn't want our troops to develop AI technology? These people are enemy agents, did you know that? How could you contact these people? Tell Dad quickly, who contacted you? I will report to Commander He immediately and ask him to arrest him."
A few days ago, the army selected outstanding officers and soldiers to go to Huanyu Island, and held a meeting for officers above the division level, briefly explaining the feasibility and importance of using AI technology in combat.
Qu Hui does not have good abilities, but he does a good job on the surface. He listens to the lectures very seriously and takes notes. He knows the importance of AI technology to the army and the country.
"Son, we can't do things that betray the country just because we are angry." After slapping his son, Qu Hui felt a little distressed and reached out to touch Qu Zibin's face.
Qu Zibin's tears came out. He turned his face away, took a step back, and turned his back to his father.
Seeing his son ignoring him, Qu Hui's heart suddenly twitched, "Zibin, Dad didn't hit you on purpose, I was just too impulsive just now. Don't blame me."
"Dad, I'm just speaking up for you. When Sheng Tunan hit you just now, I couldn't beat him and couldn't help you. Your old father-in-law watched you get beaten and didn't call for a stop. They don't care about your life or death, so why should you care about them? It would be better if Sheng Tunan died. I just want to kill Sheng Tunan with a borrowed knife."
This was a back street, and there was no one on the street. Although Qu Zibin was angry, he kept his voice very low. He was very cautious, and even if there was no one around, he didn't dare to shout loudly.
"I want him to die, too. It would be best if Elder Wen died with me. But if Sheng Tunan dies, there will be no AI division. I can't let the country down."
Qu Hui has been in the army for decades and has been on the battlefield. He knows the cruelty of war. He does not want to cause the country to suffer immeasurable losses because of his own selfishness.
"Son, I think it's better to forget it. I will go home in a few days and grow vegetables in the countryside with your mother. I have savings, so even if you don't work in the future, Dad can still support you."
Qu Zibin shook his head: "Dad, I don't want to be a burden to you. I also want to be successful and bring honor to you and mom. You haven't been with my mom these years. She raised me up with great difficulty. Her greatest wish is to see me become successful. Today, you and Mr. Wen fell out. He exposed my background. Sheng Tunan and the other three were also present."
Qu Zibin sobbed, "None of the three of them are good people. They will definitely tell others that I am your illegitimate child. They will go to school and spread the news. How can I study in Beijing University in the future? My mother will be so sad if she knows that I can't continue my studies."
In Qu Hui's heart, Zou Hongmei is his white moonlight, the most beautiful first love in his youth.
The two cannot meet often, but distance creates beauty. Even though Zou Hongmei is old and ugly now, Qu Hui still thinks she is the most beautiful woman.
Now when Qu Zibin mentioned Zou Hongmei, Qu Hui's guilt spread infinitely, and his eyes revealed an emotion of pity.
"Dad." Seeing that Qu Bin was moved, Qu Zibin continued to play the family card: "Dad, I want to go abroad. Schools abroad are great. I will study hard and strive to settle down abroad. Then I can bring you and mom over. My English teacher studied abroad and he told me that there are tall buildings abroad, and every place is very clean. You can even drink the water in the toilet."
"But Sheng Tunan is in charge of the AI division." Qu Bin was still a little hesitant.
"Sheng Tunan looks like he's only in his twenties. What kind of solid AI technology can he have? I think Elder Wen made him the head of the AI division just for his father's sake. If Sheng Tunan dies, there will definitely be someone more suitable and capable to take over his position. It will not be a loss to the country."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. There are so many professors in our school and so many scientists in Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Their qualifications and knowledge are better than Sheng Tunan. Now that he is dead, the capable ones will take over. We are eliminating the parasites for the country."
Qu Hui recalled how Sheng Tunan had beaten him up like a dog just now, and said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"Dad, given our relationship with Sheng Tunan, we definitely can't trick him out. It's not easy for them to do anything in the capital. The security here is the strictest. While you are still the commander today, go check Sheng Tunan's files and see where his hometown is?"
"Check if he has any relatives in his hometown. They will kidnap Sheng Tunan's relatives. Then, won't Sheng Tunan be a lamb to be slaughtered?" Qu Zibin smiled crookedly.
