Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 355 Zeng Jianguo's Identity

Although Lu Shaohua didn't know the specific identity of the major officer in front of him, he was sure of one thing, that is, this major officer was indeed sent by someone to pick him up, and he knew him. Even if it wasn't Zeng Jianguo, he was one of the few people who knew him, because only a few people knew that Lu Shaohua was a colonel. And this major officer called Lu Shaohua "chief" as soon as he came, which made Lu Shaohua more certain that the person must have been sent by someone he knew. It was for this reason that Lu Shaohua followed the major officer, otherwise, with Lu Shaohua's picky attitude towards outsiders, how could it be so easy!

Lu Shaohua left, but Huo Yingdong and the young man who came to greet him were in turmoil and could not calm down for a long time. You know, the military ranks in the army are fixed, and the man who came to pick up Lu Shaohua was wearing a major's uniform, so they couldn't fail to see it.

What does it mean that the major called Lu Shaohua "chief"? This means that Lu Shaohua's rank is higher than that of a major. There are only two possibilities for someone who is higher than a major. One possibility is that he is an internal staff member working in the government system, and at least at the level of a provincial governor, because only people above the level of a provincial governor can be addressed as "chief" by a major. If he is an ordinary mayor, a major can completely address him as "comrade mayor."

Looking at Lu Shaohua's age, it is obviously impossible for him to be at the provincial governor level or above. After all, those who can become provincial governors or above are all in their 50s or 60s, while Lu Shaohua is only in his teens, so it is impossible for him to be at the provincial governor level or above.

It is impossible for someone above the level of provincial governor, so there is only one possibility, that is, Lu Shaohua is someone in the army, and at least a colonel level or above, because there are only a few ranks higher than major, lieutenant colonel, colonel and general. It is impossible for Lu Shaohua to be a general, because the country is very strict in granting general ranks, so Lu Shaohua is impossible, then there are two more levels, one is lieutenant colonel and the other is colonel. Lieutenant colonel is unlikely, because if Lu Shaohua is a lieutenant colonel, the major officer can completely call him "comrade lieutenant colonel" instead of "chief", so there is only one answer left, Lu Shaohua is a colonel level person.

There are many senior colonels in the Chinese army, but if divided equally among the more than one billion people, that's one in ten million or one in ten thousand. No matter how hard Huo Yingdong tried, he couldn't figure out that Lu Shaohua, the chairman of the Phoenix Group, was actually a person with a military rank. It was really unbelievable.

The young man who came to meet the Chinese Chamber of Commerce was also incredible. He didn't expect Lu Shaohua to have such an identity. When he came to pick him up, the leader only told him to pick up a chamber of commerce from Hong Kong, but he didn't expect that there was a colonel-level figure in the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. However, these were not his business. The only thing he could do now was to do a good job of reception and arrange for Huo Yingdong and others.

.......

Huo Yingdong and his companions left the airport with a lot of doubts in their minds, but Lu Shaohua was completely unaware of it. At this time, he was sitting in a military vehicle, gazing at the night view of Beijing outside the window, and his heart was calm.

The military vehicle passed through countless streets, turned countless corners, and finally arrived at a heavily guarded residential area. When it arrived at the gate of the residential area, the major officer stopped the car, got out of the car without saying a word, and went to negotiate with the guard at the gate. Soon he returned to the car and started the car again to drive inside.

The residential area was rectangular, with a long road in the middle and houses on both sides. The military vehicle did not drive for long before stopping at the door of a house. The major officer then spoke. "Commander, we are here."

Lu Shaohua nodded without saying anything. He opened the car door and jumped out, looking at the house in front of him.

While Lu Shaohua was looking at the house, the door of the house opened and an old man walked out. This old man was none other than Zeng Jianguo, whom Lu Shaohua knew.

"Here it comes. It's pretty fast!" Zeng Jianguo said with a smile.

"Great Grandpa!" Lu Shaohua called out, and then continued, "I just got off the plane a while ago."

"Well, I received news that your plane will arrive in Beijing around this time." Zeng Jianguo said, looking at Li Shangkui and others who got off the car behind him, and said with a smile. "You are quite grand!"

"..." Lu Shaohua was embarrassed. He never had the habit of risking his own safety. It had become a habit for him to take Li Shangkui with him when he went out. He didn't care about the ceremony. "You are joking."

"Haha!" Zeng Jianguo was just joking with Lu Shaohua, so he didn't take it seriously. He waved his hand and said, "Yes, come in. My house is big, so it's no problem for more people to live in it."

Lu Shaohua agreed with a smile and walked in. Li Shangkui and the others did the same, keeping a serious expression and following closely behind.

After entering the house, Lu Shaohua finally saw Zeng Jianguo's wife, who is also Zeng Yuling's grandmother. She obviously knew Lu Shaohua. When she saw Lu Shaohua come in, she talked to Lu Shaohua for a few words in the tone of an elder. Then she took Shaohua and called Li Shangkui to a small dining hall on the right.

Sitting on a simple chair, Lu Shaohua ate two bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks. He looked at Zeng Jianguo, who had already eaten his fill, and asked, "Grandpa Zeng, how did you know I was coming to Beijing?"

After asking this question, Lu Shaohua felt a little regretful. You know, Zeng Aimin knew that he was coming to Beijing, and Zeng Jianguo was Zeng Aimin's father, so how could he not know that Lu Shaohua was coming to Beijing!

"What do you guess?" Zeng Jianguo asked with a smile.

"Haha!" Lu Shaohua scratched his head and then said, "Uncle Zeng told you!"

Zeng Jianguo shook his head, and only one word came out of his mouth. "No!"

"Oh?" Lu Shaohua frowned, with question marks all over his face.

Zeng Jianguo glanced at Lu Shaohua meaningfully, as if to say, "You are a very smart kid, but you miscalculated."

Lu Shaohua understood the meaning in Zeng Jianguo's eyes, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Stop playing hide-and-seek, old man. How did you know I was coming to Beijing?"

"Haha!" Zeng Jianguo laughed, as if he was happy to see Lu Shaohua's unpredictable expression. After laughing, he straightened his face and said mysteriously, "There aren't many things that can be hidden from me in China."

"What?" Lu Shaohua was a little confused, his brain spinning rapidly, and he became curious about Zeng Jianguo's identity. According to Zeng Jianguo's words, there were few things in the country that could be hidden from him, so Zeng Jianguo was undoubtedly in charge of a huge intelligence system. Following the clues, Lu Shaohua gradually gained a qualitative understanding of Zeng Jianguo's identity.

There is only one agency in charge of the intelligence system, and that is the National Security Bureau. Only this agency is worthy of Zeng Jianguo's background. After all, Zeng Jianguo was from the army in his early years and participated in the War of Resistance against Japan. He is considered an old revolutionary.

An old revolutionary, but not working in the army, but in the capital, there is only one possibility, that is, Zeng Jianguo works in the National Security Bureau, an agency with military nature.

"National Security Bureau." Lu Shaohua said three words after a long time.

These three people seemed simple, but they surprised Zeng Jianguo. His eyes became sharp and gleaming. He pondered for a long time before asking seriously. "You know a lot, it seems that even the National Security Bureau knows it clearly."

The National Security Bureau, abbreviated as the NSB, seems to be an ordinary department, but who knows that the people in it are extraordinary? They protect the security of the country and specialize in dealing with activities that undermine national security. They have powers that ordinary departments do not have.

Lu Shaohua smiled and said nothing. If he didn't even know this little thing, he would not be worthy of being a reborn person and the ruler of an economic empire with international influence in the future.

Zeng Jianguo saw that Lu Shaohua didn't say anything, so he waved his hand and smiled. "I forgot that you are not a normal person. You can't look at it with a normal eye. So it's normal for you to know more, haha!"

"What do you mean you are not a normal person?"

Lu Shaohua was not happy with what he heard and started to question. "I said you used inappropriate words, am I not a normal person?"

Hearing Lu Shaohua's rebuttal, Zeng Jianguo smiled and asked back, "Are you a normal person? Can a normal person have assets of more than 420 billion US dollars when he is a teenager? In my opinion, you are simply a monster."

Zeng Jianguo did not give Lu Shaohua any face at all, and mercilessly used the word "monster" to describe Lu Shaohua, and he emphasized the word "monster" in his tone. The intention was self-evident.

"..." Lu Shaohua was speechless for a while, secretly sighing that he still lost to Zeng Jianguo, the disrespectful old man, in terms of bickering. He could only raise his hands in surrender and get to the point. "Okay, okay, I am a monster, I am a monster. But why do I feel that your purpose of bringing me here is not pure."

"What? Can't I think about my future grandson-in-law?" Zeng Jianguo asked back.

Lu Shaohua looked at Zeng Jianguo with disdain but could not find words to refute him because at this point, it was a foregone conclusion that he would become the son-in-law of the Zeng family without any doubt. If he were not so young, Lu Shaohua would have suspected that Zeng Jianguo would have used some tricks to get him and Zeng Yuling to register their marriage.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Lu Shaohua could only rely on his eyes to scan Zeng Jianguo's face, trying to get the answer he wanted, but the result disappointed him. Zeng Jianguo's expression did not change from beginning to end, and he looked indifferent.

Zeng Jianguo seemed to understand what Lu Shaohua wanted to see from his expression, and he couldn't help but feel proud and said to himself, "You are still a little naive."

It was also Lu Shaohua's fault that his thoughts were too naive. You have to know that Zeng Jianguo is a veteran figure who has been active in the political arena for many years. The probability of Lu Shaohua seeing anything from his expression was almost zero.

"Okay, okay, I give up, I give up, just say it straight." Lu Shaohua said somewhat disappointedly.

Zeng Jianguo then smiled complacently, but not long after, his expression changed again, and he seemed like a completely different person. He said to the major officer who was going outside to pick up Lu Shaohua, "Xiao Zhao, please arrange for them to rest first. Xiao Hua and I have something important to discuss."

Zeng Jianguo paused for a moment before continuing, "Xiaohua, come with me to the study on the second floor."

Lu Shaohua nodded in agreement. He knew that Zeng Jianguo suddenly became so serious because he must have something to discuss with him alone, and it must be a very important matter.
