Chapter 627 My Name
A few days later, Chen Chen returned to Mengka and saw Xiaoyu who came as promised.
The latter brought him managers who would join Dongfeng Group according to the previous plan. After a simple evaluation, Chen Chen kept one of them and sent back all the others for Xiaoyu to re-screen.
Xiaoyu was not surprised by what he did.
After all, this is originally a two-way selection process.
For Xiaoyu and the people behind her, they certainly hope to have 100% control over the personnel appointment and dismissal of the Dongfeng Corps, but in fact, they also know very well that this is absolutely impossible to achieve.
How to achieve that delicate balance on the basis of cooperation is a question that both parties need to consider and explore.
As a result, most of the elites who had just arrived in Pubei and thought they would be able to do something big soon returned to Yunnan that day. Considering the smooth progress of the follow-up work, Xiaoyu's originally planned one-day trip was also forced to be extended. , instead waiting until the next group of people arrives and arrangements are made before leaving.
She didn't know how long it would take to achieve this goal, but looking at Chen Chen who had a "business-like" expression on his face and was actually faintly snickering, she couldn't help but laugh or cry.
"So you didn't do it on purpose?"
"You couldn't have guessed a long time ago that I would have to stay after these people left, so you deliberately rejected this large group of people, right?"
Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Chen Chen immediately shook his head and denied:
"How is that possible!"
"Do you think I look like that kind of person? I just think about it from the most basic business logic."
"Look, although these people you brought here are all born in the military industry, almost none of them have experience working in private companies."
"As you know, the nature of Dongfeng Group is quite special. If we follow your approach, it will be impossible to continue."
"Isn't the person I left behind a very good person? He has overseas experience, private enterprise experience, passed the political examination, and has a bit of a gangster character."
"If you find all these people in this group, you don't have to stay here. I will send you back to Xiaomengla tonight."
There was some hint of insincerity in Chen Chen's words, but Xiaoyu didn't expose it. He just smiled helplessly and then said:
"Explain it however you want. As long as you have a reason, we can't refuse it."
"But to be honest, it's not easy to find someone we both want at the same time. Don't even think about keeping me here forever by this method."
"After the next batch of personnel comes, if you are still not satisfied, then I have to go back anyway."
"So, theoretically, I only have five days to stay here."
"How about it, have you figured out how to spend these five days?"
".Is it possible that you can still take a vacation?"
Chen Chen asked rhetorically.
"What you're saying, doesn't my position deserve a vacation?"
Xiaoyu glared at Chen Chen, and then continued:
"Even if I don't take a vacation, at least I can relax a little bit."
"Objectively speaking, I am your client now."
"What, Party A is here, why don't you arrange some activities?"
"Then I will arrange for you to inspect the new gun project in Myitkyina and see if you are interested in investing?"
Chen Chen asked funnyly.
".That's not necessary."
Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, paused for a moment and then said:
"You should make some arrangements for your life. A person who only has work and no entertainment is very scary and very untrustworthy."
"Especially with your status - the temptation you face is too great. If you always keep your entertainment threshold at a very low level, then many people will have to suspect that one day you will encounter temptation that exceeds the limit. Will there be a catastrophic fall?"
"To be honest, I think you need a life counselor more than a work counselor right now."
"Teach you how to play, how to entertain, and how to establish your own spiritual pursuits."
"How's it going? Do you have any plans?"
"Or do you need me to teach you?"
"I have already discussed this issue with Peng Xucheng."
Chen Chen spread his hands and then said:
"Maybe I will make a movie in the future."
"Movie?"
Xiaoyu looked at Chen Chen in surprise and asked:
"What's the specific situation?"
Chen Chen recounted exactly what he had talked to Peng Xucheng to Xiaoyu. The latter nodded thoughtfully and said:
"If you want to put it that way, that's indeed a good direction."
"However, this goal is too big and too far."
“You should set some short-term goals—preferably ones that can be accomplished within the next few days.”
"What, you still want to supervise me?"
Chen Chen asked teasingly.
". It's participation. I said, can you not be so defensive? Even me?"
Xiaoyu's words came out, and Chen Chen couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
In fact, this is indeed the case. From the day I arrived in Pubei, I never let down my guard against the outside world for a day.
Even though I knew in my heart that it was not necessary, I still showed resistance in my actions and words.
It's like having thorns.
This is really not a good habit.
Thinking of this, he said sincerely:
"If I talk like that again in the future, just slap me."
"To answer your question seriously, you said there are short-term goals, but that's not true."
"Originally I planned to finish it slowly within a month, but since you happen to have time, let's do it together."
After hearing his words, Xiaoyu finally became somewhat interested.
She looked at Chen Chen curiously and asked:
"Tell me more specifically?"
Chen Chen coughed and replied:
"Actually, it's just one thing."
"Erect monuments for the dead."
An hour later, on the hillside on the edge of Mengkha.
Chen Chen took Xiaoyu to the highest point of the hillside, pointed to the Mengka city below and said:
"When I chose a place to be a cemetery before, I actually gave it a lot of thought."
"From the perspective of Feng Shui, there is no place with good Feng Shui in the entire Mengka. According to some people, this poor place is full of desolate land. If it is buried, it will affect the next generation."
"You know, even if I don't care about a job like ours, which involves licking blood from the edge of a knife, most people still do."
"So after much selection, I finally chose this place."
“The feng shui is not good, but it’s not bad either.”
"The most coincidental thing is that before this place was originally selected, there was actually a tomb of one of our own people here."
Hearing Chen Chen's words, Xiaoyu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked:
"Whose tomb? Lin He's brother?"
"no."
Chen Chen shook his head and replied:
"You would never have imagined it - you weren't even here yet."
"What do you mean without me? It's because you haven't seen me yet!"
"As long as I can understand the meaning. How about you, do you want to take a guess and see how far your intelligence is?"
After Chen Chen's words came out, Xiaoyu thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively:
"A member of the Lion Corps?"
"right."
Chen Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xiaoyu could really guess the approximate range correctly.
"Are they those people when you fought Nuokang? I remember that was the first time you suffered serious casualties."
"No, it will be sooner."
Chen Chen did not show off, but answered directly:
"These two were the 107 fire operators who fought in the Mengka military camp and killed Chen Yimin."
"They were on the top of this hill, providing us with supporting fire with rockets."
"We didn't expect at that time that Chen Yimin actually had an anti-artillery radar - actually, thinking about it now, I find it quite incredible."
"It was probably because of this incident that we noticed for the first time that the United States was infiltrating Pubei."
"In short, two team members were killed on the spot at this location. The bodies were still intact, but they could not be saved due to internal bleeding."
"The situation was very tense at that time, so I buried him nearby. Later I never thought about moving the grave."
"Look, this is their tomb."
Chen Chen pointed to the two small soil bags covered by weeds, and then said:
"There is no epitaph, no biography, just two simple names."
"But this is not bad. Most of the mercenaries in Pubei can't even keep their whole bodies, not to mention their graves."
Xiaoyu hummed, glanced around and asked:
"There are more than two graves here - what about the others? Whose are they?"
"Many, except for those who came from the north in the later period, including the original establishment of the Lion Corps, including the members of the Mugui who cooperated with us in fighting at that time, including our own members later."
"Baigou's grave was originally planned to be placed here, but respecting the wishes of his family, it was finally placed in the temple."
"According to our statistics, there are a total of 47 graves here."
"Of course, the 47 graves are not all our losses. Most of the 'owners' will be taken away by their families and buried on their own."
"Only those fallen who are unclaimed or under special circumstances will be buried here."
"It is for this reason that the management here is very poor - to say it is poor is an understatement. Frankly speaking, this place is no different from a mass grave."
Speaking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but show a look of guilt in his eyes.
These people are not said to have "died for him," but most of them are comrades who fought side by side. In any case, they should be remembered.
Rather than drowning in this barren mountain like a lonely ghost.
“That’s why we planned the cemetery here.”
"Originally I wanted to call this place 'Cemetery', but you know what."
Xiaoyu nodded silently, then squatted down, pushed aside the weeds on the tombstone in front of him, and carefully read the words on it.
After a moment, she asked:
"So what are you going to do?"
"This is what I call a short-term plan."
Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said:
"The first thing is to at least determine the year of birth and death."
"A lot of people here, we only know how he died, but we don't know when he was born."
"I'm going to invest some money here to check their background."
"Seriously, this should be pretty hard."
"The reason why this is the case is because almost all of their direct and non-direct relatives have died."
"It would cost us a lot of energy and cost to determine their lives purely by relying on interpersonal relationships."
"What's even more ridiculous is that the Bagan government and the previous warlord government have no record of their identities."
"It would be great if you can help. If not, we can only do our best to make the information more detailed."
"Of course, that's one aspect."
"On the other hand, at least this cemetery should be in good shape."
"The monks from Menglang Zen Temple will enter the site in two days, and our engineering team will start work at the same time."
"The remains of these people will be temporarily placed in the temple, and will be moved back after the cemetery is built."
"It is nearly 8 kilometers away from Mengka City. I plan to build a road here to connect this mountain and Mengka City."
"In the future, we will organize tomb sweeping regularly, arrange personnel for maintenance and management, and make this place a spiritual landmark building."
"Not bad."
Xiaoyu smiled at Chen Chen with appreciation, and continued:
"This is also a direction for team building--so your route is actually following ours."
"Indeed."
Chen Chen did not deny it, but took Xiaoyu to the highest point on the top of the slope.
The woods became sparser, and the vision gradually widened.
The two of them looked at the scenery of Mengka city in the distance, and Chen Chen said with emotion:
"The place under our feet now is the place I left for myself."
"If one day in the future, I really die in Pubei, then I will bury myself here."
"Don't you have any higher pursuits?"
Xiaoyu asked.
"Higher pursuits? What? I can be buried in Babaoshan?"
"Then don't dream. But it's not a good sign to arrange a cemetery for yourself at such a young age."
"In a sense, this is also a need for propaganda."
Chen Chen said seriously:
"It's the same as the generals in the past who carried coffins to fight."
"That makes sense. So what do you plan to write on your epitaph?"
Chen Chen smiled maliciously, and then replied:
"The great proletarian revolution."
"Stop!"
Xiao Yu immediately stopped Chen Chen, rolling his eyes and said:
"You really can flatter yourself. I'm asking you seriously. If you don't tell me now, who will write your epitaph when you really die in the future?"
"I hope I can write something."
Chen Chen sighed, thought for a while and said Said:
"Seriously, my epitaph will only have one line of words in the future."
"This is a builder."
"Not bad, very meaningful."
After a pause, Xiaoyu added:
"You should add an adjective, 'This is a loyal builder', um, not quite appropriate, you should say, 'This is a builder loyal to his ideals', that's all."
"Then do as you say."
Chen Chen gave a thumbs up, then asked:
"What about you? What do you plan to write in the future?"
Xiaoyu's expression changed, and he replied:
"What to write on my epitaph is probably not decided by me."
"But if you really want me to say it."
"I will write, 'The builder's close comrade and comrade, the tomb of Xiaoyu'."
"People are dead, but they still don't have a real name?"
Chen Chen asked with a smile.
After the voice fell, Xiaoyu turned to his direction and said solemnly:
"Lin Chengyu, Chen Chen, this is my name."
