Rebirth of the National Marshal

Because we are in a war environment, eating is not so wasteful. Anyway, there are no outsiders and we are all family, so everyone goes to the office cafeteria to eat.

The food provided in the canteen of the provincial government office in Chahar is also good. At noon, there is canned stewed cabbage, pork ribs and potatoes, plus two green vegetables, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

This kind of lunch is already quite good in the whole of China. Of course, the supply of ribs cannot be unlimited. Each person only gets a little bit. After all, the whole country is in a stage of poverty. Even if you have money, you can't eat and drink like this.

"This one and a half is not bad. These people will eat the same thing as the soldiers on the front line. This will allow them to experience the food on the front line, and it can also let the people in the rear know what they should do." Mao Yuanshan took a look at the food in the canteen of the agency and understood. He used to eat such meals on the front line, but he didn't expect that the food in the rear would be like this too.

"Originally, the food here is better than that at the front. This was Miss Xie's idea. She believed that the people in the rear should eat the same food as the soldiers at the front. Since they are all government employees, this way the people in the rear can understand the situation at the front. Only when there is work involving the entire front will they be proactive in doing it, especially in terms of supplies." Now Xie Jingya is not only in charge of news releases, but has also begun to take over some areas of logistics.

After hearing what the chief of staff said, a beautiful woman in a blue work suit came in from the door over there. Isn't this Xie Jingya? She used to have long flowing hair, but now because of work, she cut her hair short, which makes her look more capable and more mature than before.

When he saw Mao Yuanshan, he smiled, revealing his white teeth.

"Um, shall we have lunch together at noon?" When Xie Jingya said this, she felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained. She was a girl and should be reserved, but for some reason, she wanted to say this when she saw this person!

"It seems that an old man like me is a bit of an eyesore. You young people should eat." Jiang Baili took his lunch box and filled his meal with a smile, then went to another table to eat.

Mao Yuanshan is now a prominent figure in the country, but he has not married yet. This makes many people covet the position next to him. In the view of Jiang Baili and other military leaders, they cannot give the Nanjing gang a chance. If they are given a chance, and a rich lady comes along, the power structure in the Chahar region may very likely change.

Now the girl Xie Jingya is a very good one. She can help me a lot in work. I can just leave some miscellaneous matters to her. Besides, she is Xie Tianhua's sister. Xie Tianhua is now the chief of staff of any front and also represents the power of the top military. The combination of the two of them can be said to be a win-win situation.

Even if we take a step back, it is definitely much better than having a lady come from Nanjing.

When Mao Yuanshan saw Xie Jingya again this time, he clearly felt that Xie Jingya was more mature than before and talked less. During the meal, he would always glance at him secretly and then give all the meat in his bowl to Mao Yuanshan.

Before Mao Yuanshan went to the front line, the two of them often ate like this, but they never gave the food in their bowls to each other. Now it represents a further step forward.

"Don't always give me the food in your bowl. You haven't eaten anything all afternoon." Seeing that Xie Jingya was about to give all his beef to Mao Yuanshan again, Mao Yuanshan quickly stopped her.

"I feel like you seem to have lost a lot of weight during these days at the front. Isn't the food at the front the same as here?" Mao Yuanshan did lose a lot of weight when he went to the front this time. It was mainly because he was quite busy there and often stayed up all night, which resulted in him not getting enough rest, so his weight decreased.

"Everyone has different responsibilities. What does it matter if I'm a little thinner? It's just my personal problem. But if I don't watch the front line carefully and cause failure, then I would be irresponsible to these hundreds of thousands of soldiers." Xie Jingya understood Mao Yuanshan's explanation. As a superior, she must have such awareness.

"The situation on the front line is very important, but you must also take care of your health at ordinary times!" Seeing Mao Yuanshan's thin appearance, Xie Jingya felt really distressed, but he knew that Mao Yuanshan had to go to the front line.

"Don't worry, I'm an adult and I know some of my own situation. How's your work going lately?" Although the two were talking about work, they both clearly felt that they were very close. They just said whatever they had to say without thinking. This feeling was very comfortable, just like a family.

"You look full of energy after coming back from dinner. You never have such an expression when you eat with an old man like me. It seems that Miss Xie's medicine is really effective." The chief of staff, who had already made tea and had a cup of after-meal tea in the office, said with a smile when he saw Mao Yuanshan come in.

"We are just ordinary good friends. Chief of Staff, please don't say such things, lest the girl's reputation be damaged." After all, Mao Yuanshan was a general commanding hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. It was rare for him to blush when facing this question.

"Haha, I understand this. I went through the same thing back then. I slowly transitioned from being an ordinary friend to becoming your wife. Everyone understands this, so you don't need to explain it." The chief of staff's words made everyone in the room laugh.

Everyone in this room knew that Mao Yuanshan and Miss Xie had a good relationship, but they didn't know that their relationship was this good. Since the Chief of Staff dared to make fun of them, basically this matter was likely to succeed.

After finishing their meal, they continued to discuss the issues. After they had discussed the two battlefields here, the only thing left was the issue of Zhang Dashan in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Zhang Dashan has become a celebrity in the newspapers these days, but all these praises are of no use, just like at the beginning, just some verbal praises or some bonuses, and no substantive problems have been solved.

Mao Yuanshan felt that he should use this issue to ask the central government for a budget.
