Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 378. Good eloquence is truly good!
On the way from the airport and in the car, Chenchen and Xinzhi, the new Qing University students, received no shortage of praise from the elders.
When they arrived at Lian En’s place and met Wu Liguo and the elder from the Jiang family, a new round of praise began.
Of course, Wu Liguo, who considered serving the country as his lifelong pursuit and regarded it as the most honorable, greatest, and promising career in the world, couldn’t help but sigh a couple of times. It was a pity, he thought, that Chenchen, with such excellent physical fitness, intelligence, and such high scores, didn’t apply to J University, which he considered a waste.
Look at Shouyi’s family with Jiandang, they’ve already made some progress, and their future is destined to be infinitely bright.
Even though Jiandang and Ning An graduated a little later, they’ve had small advancements here and there, which made him somewhat regretful and lamenting.
Lianshan and Shuzhen sweated: well, after all these years, the old man’s character remained unchanged. He still wished for every good young man in the world to apply to J University and contribute to national defense.
Still, Chenchen, who was praised with some regret, smiled and said, "Grandpa Wu is right, I also think without heroes like you firmly defending the nation’s peace, the people wouldn’t have such a happy life today.
However, the nation needs to develop, and the economy needs to take off, which surely requires talents from various industries, doesn’t it?
Although I didn’t apply to J University and didn’t join the honorable national defense profession,
in the future, when my factory and company develop, I can take good care of the heroes who have transferred to civilian jobs, retired soldiers, and their families!
I dare not say it’s advanced or much of a contribution, but at least it would be mutually beneficial.
Haha, in that case, it would also be contributing to the defense of the country!"
"Yes, that’s absolutely right!" Wu Liguo excitedly slapped his palm on Chenchen’s shoulder, praising him several times.
It’s because his few words precisely addressed something the old man had previously overlooked, but once brought up, he realized it couldn’t be ignored!
If, as long as proper arrangements are made for those who sacrificed their best youth and strong bodies for the nation’s stability, and provided suitable jobs and stable incomes for their families bearing all domestic burdens,
how could we worry that good seedlings wouldn’t be eager to enlist? And the active-duty soldiers would no longer have to burden themselves with all sorts of life’s worries and stresses. They could go all out, contributing all their strength to protecting the country with no hang-ups.
Chenchen, almost knocked off balance, had just rubbed his shoulder and stood up, when he was whisked away by the excited Old Man Wu to Lian En’s studio.
Because it was quiet there, more suitable for them to discuss seriously these important matters closely related to military development.
Chenchen was dumbfounded: he was merely wrapping his little thought for defense support and policy inclination in a layer of gorgeous veneer, and it was suddenly elevated to the level of advanced thinking?
Ha, having good speaking skills is really beneficial!
If he could hire former soldiers who are swift in work, in good physical condition, and hold high discipline as employees, and be labeled as an advanced enterprise...
That would indeed be hitting multiple targets with one arrow and making a significant profit!
However, facts proved, he’s thinking too much and too beautifully.
With his just-started Wan You, which at best had hundreds of employees, even if they gritted their teeth, how many retired soldiers and family members could they accommodate?
The old man’s invitation for a private chat was purely to hear his specific ideas and to see how this thing should be operated.
Once he had a basic understanding, he would find the relevant personnel to finely discuss it and see how it could be quickly put on the agenda.
Chenchen is a good seed, but the process of this small seed growing into a towering tree is too long, and by his reckoning, the quick-tempered Wu Liguo is too impatient to wait.
Of course, with such a "merit," Wu Liguo, known for protecting his shortcomings, certainly wouldn’t let Chenchen suffer.
He would just let his eldest grandson Wu Liu make a few more trips to Qing University to showcase their deep brotherhood.
This old fellow would also, in his talks with old friends and former subordinates, bring up frequently how this young man, despite his focus on developing the economy, also has admiration and love for national defense.
He’s willing to provide more opportunities for retired and disabled personnel, as well as their families, actively seeking mutual benefit and a win-win situation.
Directly hinting to him unconsciously highlighted the areas he previously ignored.
Say such things twice, and it would be enough for everyone to taste the importance and appreciation he placed on the young man.
With many smart people, the fact that as a child, he was sent to the Liu family village and received care from Shuzhen and her husband, and his only daughter married the Liu family’s eldest, Wu Liu, the heir apparent, and Chenchen are cousins who have been close since childhood, how could it remain hidden?
Just this level of relationship would be enough to benefit the restless Chenchen, who’s in school yet still contemplating opening new factories.
Of course, the premise is that the young man doesn’t use his banner as a cover and go down a crooked path!
With the newest big phone bought by his master, stunned by its high price, cumbersome appearance, and extremely expensive yet unstable network and call fees, Chenchen was also truly attracted by its enormous business potential.
Originally, he thought he could lean against a big tree, benefiting from Grandpa Wu’s slightly ajar small door, making projects where money counted effortlessly under the premise of abiding by the law.
After becoming interested in mobile communications, the young man just wanted to dig out talent everywhere—whoops! To find usable talents, and quickly set up his Wan You Electronic Communication Technology Company.
However, no matter how eager his heart was, he had to temporarily restrain it.
He first had to participate in his elder brother’s first painting exhibition and then report to the school.
After finishing these two major tasks, he could then discuss other things.
Since winning his first national painting and calligraphy competition in high school, Lian En’s achievements have been genuinely glorious over the years.
He’s practically the number one young figure in the national painting scene, truly a disciple of a famous teacher. Surpassing one’s teacher is just a matter of time.
With such high praise and Feng Ju having put great effort into promotion, when the exhibition officially opened, of course, there was a huge crowd and an unprecedented grand occasion.
Watching this made Master Feng Ju and the proud parents Lianshan and Shuzhen full of pride and glory.
Even Wu Liguo, who had previously lamented why Lian En didn’t apply to J University and become an outstanding superhero, repeatedly gave thumbs up. He said that at such a young age, Lian En could already paint such works that foreigners would applaud and buy at high prices for collection, indeed deserving to be called the number one young person in the national painting scene, genuinely bringing glory to the country.
Lian En’s calm and indifferent smile, and his demeanor of treating fame and disgrace with equanimity, added even more charm to him.
The elderly folks, invited by old comrades and somewhat embarrassed not to come, couldn’t help but admire the paintings and the person, contemplating the possibility of adding a grandson or granddaughter-in-law!
Lian En never thought that hosting a painting exhibition would attract some marriage prospects, nor did he expect that all the paintings would be booked by the end of the exhibition.
