Old Movies of the Republic of China II

Pu Guangjun has been like a duck to water recently.

He has already graduated from a language school, and with the halo of a talented student, he has entered the government department to work.He has a smooth personality, is suitable for communicating with people, and has excellent grades and experience in organizing parades and giving speeches. Whether he is a colleague or a boss, he has a good impression of this patriotic and passionate young man.

The language school issued certificates, and Pu Guangjun was also invited.

"Guangjun, no, I'm going to be called Inspector Pu now. Inspector Pu, you've been very proud of yourself recently. Not only are you getting close to An Ran, but you're also doing well in the Finance Department. The so-called being proud in both love and officialdom is that it?"

Pu Guangjun smiled and said, "Why do I feel so sour after listening to you? Could it be that you still think about my girlfriend?"

An Ran is different from the boys who rely on scholarships and stipends to study and live. Her father is a bank manager and has a good family business.

At that time, many people in their class were pursuing An Ran. Among them, there were many who were more handsome than Pu Guangjun and whose family background was hundreds of times better than him.

At first, Father An's attitude towards Pu Guangjun was ambiguous and lukewarm, but it was different now. Pu Guangjun became an inspector of the Finance Department and had a bright future, so he let go and formally agreed to his daughter's marriage.

Zhou Lu smiled and said: "That's not true, I have never forgotten it. Speaking of which, why didn't An Ran come?"

"Her aunt is returning home today and can't come."

The two laughed and chatted, and many alumni who were the first students of the language school with them also came.The school is a three-year school, but in the third year, almost everyone has started working like Pu Guangjun. The school does not resist this, and it can even be called support.

Pu Guangjun has a wide range of friends, and he can talk to everyone.

Suddenly someone said: "Do you know that a big man is coming today."

"Big shot? Could it be Marshal Zhang?"

"Go ahead and think about your good things. Marshal Zhang is busy right now, how could he come to our school? Besides, if he really wants to give a speech, he will also go to Northeastern University."

Pu Guangjun said: "Don't be fooled, who is it?"

The man said mysteriously: "I heard this from Mr. Fang. You all know the person who will come today, but you never imagined his current identity. He is now the godson of the commander-in-chief!"

Pu Guangjun suddenly thought of a person, but quickly denied it in his heart, it was just a canary.

"It's Zhang Ziran!"

The crowd was in an uproar.

"I used to look at him differently from us!"

"Let me tell you, he is picked up by car all day long, and he eats and wears good things. So he is the godson of the commander-in-chief."

"I didn't expect there to be such a big shot among our classmates?"

"Hey, Grid, what did Mr. Fang say?"

Seeing their astonishment, Grid cleared his throat and said triumphantly, "Are you scared? I told you that you would never have imagined it. Mr. Fang said that when Ziran came back this time, in addition to presenting awards to our juniors, There will also be scholarships in schools.”

Only one son said, "Ge Zi, you look so proud. I already knew Zi Ran's identity. I didn't say it just now because I didn't want you to come down."

To be honest, he didn't want to come here today, because he came here on a hot day to suffer foreign crimes, but his second uncle personally told him that he must come, and he must have a few words with Zhang Ziran.

Grid shushed him: "See what you said seems to be true."

Zhou Lu patted Pu Guangjun on the shoulder: "Guangjun, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so strange?"

Pu Guangjun quickly adjusted the expression on his face, and said, "It's nothing, I was also surprised for a while. Ziran usually doesn't show his face, but he has such a big background."

Everyone also felt the same, nodding again and again.

They are not college students living in ivory towers anymore. Knowing the power of connections, having a classmate who can be on the top of the list is tantamount to adding a reliable guarantee to the future.

Zhou Lu scratched his head, "If my dad finds out, he will be so happy."

Grid let out a "hey" and said, "Look quickly!"

The principal and several professors from the school hurried over. The principal was talking while walking. Fang Ling had a smile on his face. He was usually personable and restrained, and he rarely showed such a happy look.

A car slowly drove over from outside the school's auditorium, the front door opened, and a tall and vigorous man in military uniform came down, bent over and opened the back door.

Qing He thanked her and got off the car.

Wang Yongze closed the car door, waved his hand, and the car drove away, while he stood behind Qing He, with a straight posture, showing his mighty military might.

Qinghe bowed to the group and said, "Hello, Principal Liu, and hello, professors."

Principal Liu's name is Liu Shuzheng. He was once a student sent abroad by the Qing government to study in Japan. He is not young, but he still has some character.

Qinghe said a few words to him very respectfully, and Principal Liu was quite satisfied. Although this student has a high status, he is still very polite to them who are engaged in educational work.

Fang Ling said with emotion: "Zi Ran, I haven't seen you for nearly a year, I thought you were not in Fengtian anymore."

Qinghe entered the auditorium together with them, Pu Guangjun and others watched from the side, very excited, but some were inevitably sour.Obviously they are all the same students, but it is really different to have a handsome godfather.

"Hey, we, I'm afraid it's too late to get close to someone."

Zhou Lu scolded with a smile: "I see you are sour. By the way, Guangjun, don't you have a good relationship with him? Did you know his identity from the beginning?"

A young man said: "What are you talking about! I heard from my dad that it didn't take long for the commander-in-chief to recognize him, maybe only two or three months, and it wasn't very formal, he didn't even serve a drink, he was just light a word."

"A light sentence?" Ge Ge said: "I can't see it. If it's just a sentence, why would the principal come here to pick it up? Does the commander-in-chief treat him differently?"

"Aren't you working as Mr. Fang's assistant, and you can't even find out about this?"

Ge Zi shook his head: "Don't mention it, the teacher's mouth is stricter than anyone else's. I can't ask no matter how I ask. But I think it must not be too simple."

"The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate," the young master sighed, "Zhang Ziran has gained a lot of limelight in the past few months. You all know that my second uncle works next to the chief of the police department. I heard from my second aunt that, The son of the director of the company got married, and he originally invited the handsome wife, but in the end it was Ziran."

Pu Guangjun looked at the entrance of the auditorium with serious eyes, and said for a moment: "It's almost time, we should go in too."

It was a bad day for him.

Pu Guangjun got up very early, slumped in front of the mirror for a long time, put on his best suit and leather shoes, and returned to school full of confidence to meet his classmates.

Before joining the company, his life was really difficult. Scholarships and bursaries were barely supported. Compared with some classmates with good backgrounds, it was really shabby.Pu Guangjun was arrogant, unwilling to fall behind others, gritted his teeth, studied hard, and worked hard, and finally got what he is today.

But Zhang Ziran easily beat him back to his original shape.

What's the use of trying harder?His struggle and hard work are actually not as good as a man who relies on men!

In the auditorium, the principal and several professors took turns to speak on the stage, saying a lot of praise to the graduates and encouragement to the current students.

Principal Liu originally planned to let Qinghe take the stage, but he declined politely: "I have no achievements yet, how can I speak in front of so many outstanding students, principal, you should invite others."

Pu Guangjun looked at Qinghe's back among a group of professors.

Not only has his hair been cut short, but he also looks different from before.In the past, Ziran was introverted and didn't like to talk. Although he didn't look away when looking at people, he was always not confident, like a child who was always hiding behind adults.

But now he is sitting with a group of young or not young professors, talking and laughing happily, calmly and generously, making people unbelievable that one person can change so much.

"... Guangjun? Guangjun?"

Pu Guangjun came back to his senses: "Huh?"

Zhou Lu pushed him: "What are you thinking? It's time for you, the president of the student union, to give a speech. Show your skills, but don't let our brother lose some of his reputation."

Pu Guangjun said: "You still can't believe me?"

He is a person who is used to speaking in front of people, used to being in the limelight and being the center of everyone's attention, so even if he pays attention to Qing He's every move from beginning to end, it doesn't make people feel that he is absent-minded.And the dazzling military uniform poked on the side of the auditorium made Pu Guangjun feel even more indescribable resentment.

There was thunderous applause.

The principal and Fang Ling said admiring words.

Qinghe also had a smile on his face. He always thought that Pu Guangjun was a promising person.

Fang Ling said: "Zi Ran, I heard from the newspaper that the major general led his troops to the north?"

Qinghe paused for a moment before realizing that the "major general" he was referring to was Zhang Zheng.The people around him were always called Young Master Zhang Zheng, and they would only address him by his military rank unless on some formal occasions.

"Yeah, the time to go is not too short."

Fang Ling still remembered that Zhang Zheng sat impatiently on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, and told him that his children didn’t need to have good grades, as long as they stayed in school safely.

But that weak young man back then is now able to be neither humble nor overbearing in front of everyone, calm and composed.

Fang Ling said: "You... are you okay?"

He asked cryptically but also abruptly. In the two years of teaching Qinghe, the age of the house has never exceeded the limit. How can he spy on Young Master Zhang?What's more, after returning to the country, Fang Ling knew a lot about Zhang Zheng's past from other people's frank or cover-up discussions. Such a god, a scholar, what else can he do but keep a respectful distance?

Qinghe looked at him, smiled, and didn't feel embarrassed or outright annoyed by his question, but said: "Sir, don't worry, we are all fine."
