Rumors had it that the soldier later saw a photo of the Commander-in-Chief in casual clothes at a meeting. Only then did he know that the “retired cadre” he invited out the other day was actually the Commander-in-Chief of the military.
Xia Jinyuan’s low-profile father actually came out casually today to scold him for not having a good impression on his future father-in-law… He must have a trick.
But he still didn’t know what the trick was.
When Commander-in-Chief Xia saw that his son had guessed his intention, a smile finally flashed in his eyes, although he still kept a flat face. He then returned home with a stride.
“I’ll give you one minute. I’ll cancel the chance after one minute.” The Commander-in-Chief spoke solemnly and then said to the guard, “Time him, accurate to the second.”
“Yes, Chief!”
The guard had long been accustomed to the relationship between the Chief and the Lieutenant Colonel. On the surface, their father-and-son relationship might seem ordinary, but in reality… it was extremely deep with hidden intentions!
Xia Jinyuan dashed upstairs while the Commander-in-Chief was speaking, and at the same time, he had already taken off his shirt.
Tick tock tick tock… Even the sound of the water began to “scream.” Within a minute, Xia Jinyuan used the same speed as he had in emergency missions, took a shower, and put on his summer uniforms which were military short sleeves tops and long pants. He ran back down with a full sense of rhythm, stopped in front of Commander-in-Chief Xia, and shouted, “Report!”. By this time, his dark green bow tie was also already fastened.
The stopwatch in the guard’s hand also stopped at the one-minute mark, the exact moment Xia Jinyuan shouted: “Report!”.
“Little Ye’s flight is at 9:11. Bring me to the airport now.” Commander-in-Chief Xia felt that his son’s image was more pleasing to the eye now. He was tall and dignified. When he was serious, he was more serious than anyone else, and sometimes he could even trick his father because he really looked mature, steady, and very responsible.
Xia Jinyuan had thought of a possibility earlier. He thought they were going to Dangui Garden for a visit, but unexpectedly his father actually wanted to directly go to the airport to meet Ye Jian’s father.
“Why? Do you still want to go to their house? Who are you? What status do you have? You want to visit them as a Captain? Don’t be silly. What would others think if a Captain went to his troop’s female soldier’s house? Ridiculous!”
The Commander-in-Chief saw through his son’s thoughts. He didn’t tell his son his plan earlier to deliberately have him misunderstood. Who knew? He had really misunderstood.
“I won’t stop you if you want to go to Dangui Garden, but you can go by yourself.” The Commander-in-Chief smiled and then turned around after being home for only one minute.
Xia Jinyuan had already followed his father closely. When he got into the car, his handsome face was a little dignified; he whispered, “Father, Ye Jian’s father might not be in a good mood later; let’s just go over to greet them.”
“Not in a good mood? What’s the matter? How do you know?” The Commander-in-Chief, who sat behind, frowned. He was going on a business trip tonight and would be boarding the plane at 9:40p.m., so he wanted Old Sixth to follow him to the airport and show his face in front of Chief Engineer Fu, letting him know that this kid was a man from the Xia Family.
The men from the Xia Family weren’t all the best of the best, but they were among the top talents in Beijing.
There weren’t false rumors about them outside, and they adored their families and respected their elders at home. Basically, they had a good reputation in Beijing.
Commander-in-Chief Xia thought that the two of them should show up in front of Chief Engineer Fu together for a brief introduction. Then, it wouldn’t seem abrupt, and it would also leave a good impression on Chief Engineer Fu.
Therefore, at this moment, when he heard that he might not be in a good mood, Commander-in-Chief Xia’s expression became a little serious.
