Chapter 833 The Protagonist and the Supporting Role
Zhang Fakui keeps thinking about things.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Du Fei's true background was unfathomable, and all kinds of random thoughts came to my mind.
Even though I know that many situations are impossible, I still can't suppress my wild thoughts.
On Du Fei's side, he sent Zhang Fakui away and worked step by step, and it was soon noon.
I made an appointment with Li Kuiyong in the morning to meet Zhong Yuemin at noon.
Du Fei estimated that they would definitely come early, so they didn't delay when it was time for lunch break.
After tidying up a little, I went downstairs. ??
Sure enough, as soon as I left the office building, I saw a few people standing outside the courtyard gate.
Du Fei knew three of them. The one on the far left was Li Kuiyong. Du Fei had never seen the person next to him. He was quite good-looking and should be Zhong Yuemin.
Next to Zhong Yuemin were Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.
Du Fei didn't expect that they would also follow him.
But then I thought about it, it was normal.
Last time they got together with Li Kuiyong in the secret room under Prince Qing's Mansion.
With that adventure, it can be regarded as a life-long friendship.
This teenage age is the time for loyalty.
All four of them were wearing green military uniforms, yellow rubber shoes, and military satchels slung across their backs, which was very characteristic of the era.
Seeing Du Fei, everyone except Zhong Yuemin waved their hands and seemed quite happy.
Du Fei walked over and said hello to Li Kuiyong first.
Then he smiled and said, "Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you are so tall!"
Fatty Wang laughed heartlessly, while Hu Bayi called "Brother Du" seriously.
Du Fei patted him on the shoulder, then turned to look at Zhong Yuemin, "Are you Zhong Yuemin? You want to be Castro."
Zhong Yuemin blushed and felt a little embarrassed. He stretched out his hand to shake Du Fei's hand, "Brother Du, don't listen to Li Kuiyong's nonsense."
Du Fei smiled and said, "What's wrong with that? Soldiers who don't want to be generals are not good soldiers."
As he said this, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, "You haven't eaten yet~ Let's find a place to eat and chat."
Although the four of them are a few years younger than Du Fei, Du Fei is already working, but they are still students.
In addition, Du Fei actually did great things in Xiangjiang.
It was difficult for them to treat Du Fei as a peer.
Du Fei didn't pretend to ask for their opinions, and took several people directly to a hotel near the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission.
It's just an ordinary hotel, but it has a big name, called the People's Hotel.
The cooking taste is average, but the lobby is spacious.
Treating guests is generally considered decent.
Du Fei came to the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission and met with Lu Guang once.
Today is a good day, bring them here.
It was lunch time and there were quite a few people in the restaurant.
As soon as I walked in, I met an acquaintance.
"Section Chief Du~" Liu Xinru walked out from inside and met Du Fei and the others.
Du Fei was a little surprised, Liu Xinru was eating here?
The consumption level here is not low. This girl just borrowed 200 yuan from him the day before yesterday.
Liu Xinru also thought of this and explained first, "Section Chief, my wife works here."
Du Fei was stunned for a moment.
He originally thought that given Liu Xinru's conditions, he would definitely be able to find a partner.
Now it seems that I was wrong.
Although the People's Hotel is not small in scale, it is a collective enterprise.
Even if Liu Xinru's lover is the manager here, based on the current evaluation standards, he is far from worthy of Liu Xinru.
In this era, although there is no high or low job, only the division of labor is different.
But how can there be no distinction between high and low in reality!
The reality is that state cadres are higher than state workers, and state workers are higher than large collectives. Large collectives look down on small collectives, and small collectives look down on temporary workers.
Du Fei was a little surprised, how could such a smart and beautiful woman like Liu Xinru find such a partner?
But this was a private matter, and Du Fei didn't have much curiosity.
It just flashed in my mind and it was over.
After saying hello to Liu Xinru, I went inside and found a table by the window.
Then the envoy Wang Kaixuan said, "Fat man, go and order. You can get whatever you like, but don't pretend to break up with me."
As he spoke, he took out five yuan and two pounds of meat coupons from his pocket.
Wang Kaixuan's eyes lit up, "Oh~ Brother Du is so angry!"
Saying that, he reached for the money and ran to the food counter.
Hu Bayi knew that this guy was not very good, so he quickly stood up and said, "Brother Du, let me take a look too."
Just this slow step, when Hu Bayi caught up, Wang Kaixuan was already there and started to name the dishes.
Hu Bayi said that he was lucky to have followed him, and quickly shouted, "That's enough, comrades, that's all, that's enough!"
The meal waiter inside was stunned for a moment, not knowing who to listen to.
Wang Kaixuan said, "Hey, what the hell are you doing here! Brother Du gave me five yuan."
Hu Ba glared at each other, "You can spend as much as you want! Isn't it a bit deep? You won't be with Du Ge in the future?"
Wang Kaixuan curled his lips, "Brother Du, does he care about these five dollars?"
Hu Badi said, "That won't work! Brother Du doesn't care, so we can't care less? Brother Du trusts us when he lets us order. What does Brother Du think about this nonsense? Even if Brother Du doesn't care, there are Li Kuiyong, Zhong Yuemin looked at it, we have such shallow eyes, have we never seen anything to eat? "
After Wang Kaixuan was told something, he immediately became weak and muttered, "Okay, listen."
You can do it~"
In the end, we ordered a total of six dishes, four meat dishes and two vegetarian dishes.
It cost a total of two yuan and ninety-six cents, plus a pound and twenty taels of meat coupons.
At this moment, Du Fei was already chatting.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan left, Du Fei looked at Zhong Yuemin, and said with a smile, "Zhong Yuemin, your father is very famous!" ??
Zhong Yuemin was stunned, "You~you know my father?"
Du Fei said, "Zhong Shan, the youngest S-commander of the Fourth Field Army at that time."
When it comes to this, Zhong Yuemin's eyes show a hint of pride.
But then confusion and dejection.
Although he never admits it, he always regards his father as an idol in his heart.
But now...
He doesn't understand, what happened? He is confused and at a loss.
Because his mother died of illness early, Zhong Yuemin's situation is similar to Wang Kaixuan now.
It's just that Wang Kaixuan has Hu Bayi.
Although Zhong Yuemin also has friends, Li Kuiyong, Yuan Jun, and Zheng Tong, they are still a little worse than Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi.
So Zhong Yuemin is more lonely than Wang Kaixuan.
This is why he thought of joining Li Yuanchao, leaving the capital, and going abroad.
He needed a new sustenance to support his hope for the future.
Du Fei's experience enabled him to understand Zhong Yuemin's mentality at this time.
But Li Kuiyong was just a child under 20 years old after all.
He went to Du Fei simply because he didn't want his good friend to take risks in the mountains and forests.
But Li Kuiyong didn't know that anyone had the position to persuade Zhong Yuemin.
Except Du Fei.
Because Li Yuanchao was fooled by Du Fei to some extent.
Since Li Yuanchao could go, why couldn't Zhong Yuemin go?
So, from the beginning, Du Fei didn't intend to persuade Zhong Yuemin.
He invited this meal just to go through the motions, and by the way, see how determined Zhong Yuemin was.
Even Du Fei felt that perhaps Zhong Yuemin's personality was more suitable for the irregular mountain jungle than Li Yuanchao...
One o'clock in the afternoon.
There was not even a bit of soup left on the plate on the table.
As the saying goes, the little boy eats the old man out of money.
It's true!
Six dishes, four bowls of rice per person.
It took twenty bowls of steamed rice to feed these guys.
As for the persuasion that Li Kuiyong expected, the result was that not only Zhong Yuemin wanted to go, but even the somewhat wavering Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi also planned to go there to try their luck.
In fact, the last time they went to Hong Kong, the two of them wanted to go.
It was just that they were too young and did not meet Li Yuanchao's
requirements, so they were rejected.
But Du Fei said the ugly words in advance.
Going there is not a dinner party, not writing articles, not painting or embroidering.
It is a real battlefield, and you may lose your life at any time.
No one is born to be a hero who survives a hundred battles.
But in the end, they still decided to go.
Even Li Kuiyong, if it weren't for the need to take care of his parents and brothers and sisters at home, would have wanted to go with them.
Several people came out of the People's Hotel. Li Kuiyong stood beside Du Fei, looked at the three people walking away, and sighed softly.
At this moment, he had a feeling.
From then on, they were no longer people from the same world.
Li Kuiyong was destined to be an ordinary person in this life, while Zhong Yuemin, Hu Bayi, and Wang Kaixuan would follow Li Yuanchao and embark on a legendary road full of thorns.
If you can get through, you will become a hero, but if you can't get through...
Du Fei also felt emotional.
He thought that what he said just now was objective and there was no biased guidance.
In the end, it was their own choice according to their own heart.
As for the result, it was as expected.
The three of them were destined to be the protagonists, and all chose to start the adventure.
And Li Kuiyong was destined to be a supporting role. Faced with such an opportunity, he still chose his family and responsibility.
Du Fei was looking forward to it. Where will they go in the future?
And where can Li Yuanchao go?
In the afternoon, back to the Foreign Economic and Trade Commission.
Du Fei sat in the office and lit a cigarette.
Looking at the ginkgo tree outside the window, the leaves like small fans began to turn yellow, as if inlaid with a layer of gold in the sun.
I was still thinking about Hu Bayi and the others in my mind.
But at this time, a phone rang suddenly.
Du Fei suddenly came to his senses, picked up the phone and said "Hello".
The voice of the guard came from the other end of the phone, "Chief Du, someone is here, saying he is from the security department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, named Jiang Donglai, and wants to see you."
"Jiang Donglai?"
Du Fei was slightly surprised.
After returning from Hong Kong, Jiang Donglai's importance in Du Fei's system plummeted because of Du Fei's rising status.
There was nothing he could do about it.
Jiang Donglai's role was mainly concentrated in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
But with Li Mingfei around, Jiang Donglai couldn't compare to him in terms of position or closeness.
In addition, Du Fei left the Street Office, and his relationship with Sun Lan was no longer the same as before.
Fortunately, Jiang Donglai had been on the bench for ten years before.
With a tempered mentality, he could keep his composure in the face of such a situation.
