My little country wife whom I haven't seen for eight years has come to join the army

Chapter 193: Executing Level 1 Mission

The voice on the other side suddenly roared, "Lu Qinchuan, you've grown wings, haven't you? Protecting Expert Chen and his family is our top priority right now, and it's considered a top-level mission! It's as important as fighting on the battlefield during the Liberation War. Do you really want to disobey military orders?"

The roar mixed with swear words poured into Lu Qinchuan's ears like a flood. Lu Qinchuan took the microphone away from his ear, frowned and looked at the microphone with disgust, as if he could smell something coming from the microphone.

"Lu Qinchuan! Lu Qinchuan!"

The person on the other end spoke for a long time without saying anything, and then started calling his name.

"Are you listening? Put the fucking microphone to your ear! I'm ordering you!"

"Commander, I'm listening!" Lu Qinchuan shook the microphone helplessly.

"The Red Army has already traveled 20,000 miles. Are these 180 steps still needed? You've already performed a great service by safely escorting Expert Chen from the port city to the capital. Do you still mind accompanying Madam Chen on another journey? You don't have to go looking for her daughter yourself. Just follow her."

The commander on the opposite side softened his tone and tried to persuade him in a kind way.

"What if her daughter can't be found? Should I just keep wasting time with her?" Lu Qinchuan felt very aggrieved. He didn't want to be pestered by that rich girl all day long.

"Don't worry about this. Even if her daughter dies, I will ask someone to pull out the grass on the grave and show it to her." The commander opposite made a promise.

Lu Qinchuan licked his lips and said, "Commander, I want to go home and take a look before I leave..."

"Nonsense!" A sudden shout interrupted his unfinished words.

"I'm telling you, your identity must remain confidential. Any work involving the personal safety of Expert Chen and his family must remain confidential. You just missed me, right? You've completed this mission beautifully. I'll grant you a month's leave!"

The other party used both soft and hard tactics and made his attitude clear. Lu Qinchuan hung up the phone embarrassedly and took out a cigarette and lit it.

The security captain had already heard most of what was going on, so he stepped forward to confirm, "Captain Lu, please see..."

He sighed heavily, picked up the cigarette and walked out, saying, "Call me Qin Feng!"

Chen Ce's new home had already been settled in the research institute's staff building. He immediately got down to work as soon as he came back.

He was delighted to find that although the country's economy was backward, it had never stopped researching physics. This made him excited and he devoted himself to research.

Gu Qiongfang was also busy. She visited relatives and friends every day with gifts, looking for friends and relatives she had met more than 20 years ago.

The one with the least time is Chen Man. Chen Ce is still getting used to his work, so she can't help.

"Comrade Qin, I'm going to the mall. Can you accompany me?"

"I'm going to the bookstore to buy some English books. It's crowded and the distance is long, and I'm afraid I'll get lost..."

In short, no matter what she did, she would pull Lu Qinchuan along, and even pretend not to care and hold Lu Qinchuan's arm when walking on the road, even though he would ruthlessly shake her off every time.

She will not be discouraged. The colder a man is, the more attractive he is to her.

It was impossible for only two people to be traveling together, but whenever the two of them walked together, even if there was no intimate action, as long as the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, plus Chen Man had a shy little woman's expression, they would be a beautiful sight on the street, and anyone would think they were a couple.

Everyone will take a second look at a couple who are good-looking.

Chen Man likes and enjoys the looks from passers-by, as if the man next to her is already hers.

Coming to the women's clothing section of the most prosperous Beijing Department Store, you can see photos of popular movie stars everywhere. At first glance, it is obvious that they are no longer in their youth, but it is precisely because of this kind of accumulated beauty that makes people unable to take their eyes off them.

She was wearing an exquisite modified version of the cheongsam with ink and color paintings. It was called a modified version because it conforms to the current trend that is not yet open.

But the cheongsam she wore could subtly show off all the advantages of a woman. She showed off her slender swan neck, sat on a round stool with her back straight, and read an English book, showing off her charm subtly and unobtrusively.

"Is this a celebrity?" It's impossible not to be jealous of such beauty and elegance.

A waiter from the State Guest House who was traveling with us said with a smile, "She's a household name. She must be around 28 or 29 years old, and still very popular. She practically dominates the covers of every fashion magazine, and every time she appears, the clothes she wears set off a craze."

The waiters in the State Guesthouse are on a regular basis. If she wasn't with Chen Man, her nose would be turned upside down, and it would be difficult for her to show the attitude of a little fangirl.

"She's quite pretty, but I think the old saying is true: clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. She's still better because of the added bonus of this dress. By the way, what's her name?"

Of course Chen Man couldn't accept it. She was a young lady who grew up in the United States, and she was definitely better than the big stars in China.

The waiter was a little displeased to hear her sour words: "Ms. Chen is right, Liang Meimei's clothes are all custom-made and first released in China, so of course they look good."

Huh, custom-made? Chen Man laughed. It wasn't the work of an international designer, yet they used the word "custom-made"? What a bunch of country bumpkins!

"Which designer's work is praised so highly?"

"It was produced by a factory in Luancheng. The honor belongs to the collective. We don't value individualism in our country."

The waitress didn't like Chen Man's attitude and expression, so she calmly repeated the words that the leader had taught them during the meeting.

Standing not far away, Lu Qinchuan heard their conversation and his thoughts shifted slightly. He was homesick when he saw Liang Meimei's photo. He thought of his capable wife... well, there was nothing he could do.

Although he missed home, his eyes were still fixed on the person he was protecting. Chen Man was very disgusted with the waiter's words, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

"Tsk, that's all. It's just for the photoshoot. With how conservative you are, you can't wear something like that outside. I've been here for so many days, and the streets are all covered in dust."

Chen Man didn't want to suffer the loss, so she started to fight back sharply.

The waiter stared at the photos calmly and said, "Of course, it's impossible for every piece of clothing to be worn out. The factory's slogan is to let women see their own beauty. Every woman has the right to pursue beauty!"

He retracted his gaze and glanced at her calmly: "Miss Chen, what you said is still a bit one-sided."

Seeing that Chen Man suffered a loss and someone supported Zhou Ruoyu's departure, Lu Qinchuan's mouth curled up slightly, and the sadness that had been lingering in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"A garment factory isn't making clothes anymore, but it's already shouting slogans? That's really strange. I'd like to see it for myself."
