Pathological training system! Sister, please respect yourself

Liu Yingzhen looked at her absent-minded friend and followed her gaze towards the training grounds: "What's going on? Did you see someone you know?"

"No."

Liu Yingzhen didn't care and changed the subject: "Let's go quickly. Grandpa Zheng hates being late for no reason the most, especially since today is his comrade's birthday party."

Bai Yi calmed down and replied, "Okay."

The reason they were here today was to attend the birthday banquet of a retired leader. This powerful old leader was a nostalgic person. On his 70th birthday, he chose to spend it in this old unit that was once filled with his passion and youth, and with his comrades who had fought side by side for a lifetime.

One of the old comrades is the incumbent Chief of Staff of the largest military region in City B.

Therefore, although this birthday party was not held in a grand manner, many dignitaries in City B went around asking for connections just to get an invitation.

Some people were scrambling to attend the birthday party, while others were drinking tea at home when someone respectfully presented them with an invitation.

As a listed company that has made important contributions to many economic fields in City B and has the support of Hong Kong-based forces behind it, the Bai family was naturally invited.

Not to mention the Liu family. Although they started out in real estate, they have many up-and-coming people who have already established themselves in important government agencies, so it is normal for them to receive invitations.

When Bai Yi and Liu Yingzhen walked into the family's backyard, the birthday banquet had just begun. There were not many people attending, but it was filled with some of the most prominent figures in B City's politics and business.

Although today’s birthday celebrant held a high position before his retirement, he was an old general who had spent his entire life in the military and was honest and upright, and he never associated with businessmen.

However, since his abdication, he has only focused on enjoying his old age. He does not personally attend many things, nor does he ask about them. For example, this birthday party was fully handed over to his son to organize.

It is for this reason that entrepreneurs were invited to attend this birthday party.

After politely greeting the old leader, the two followed the receptionist and sat down at the dining table that had been arranged in advance.

Bai Yi glanced around casually and was sure that this birthday banquet was indeed low-key. For a large family with many family members, the family banquet would be of this standard.

Halfway through the meal, waves of loud and orderly slogans rang out from the parade ground in front.

Although it is majestic, it is also full of crispness and tenderness.

Someone asked: "I heard that students from Huada University have recently had military training here, is that true?"

The old leader, who was the birthday boy today, smiled and replied, "Yes, Huada's military training is famously strict, and every year new students are sent to the army for training."

"That's good. Young people nowadays just lack training, so we should take this opportunity to coach them well."

At this time, someone suddenly said, "Chief of Staff Zheng, I heard that your granddaughter was admitted to Huazhong University this year. She is truly a daughter of a general. Congratulations!"

"Yes, yes, but it's still thanks to you, Chief of Staff Zheng, that you have taught your grandchildren well. If my son could be half as good as them, I would be satisfied."

Zheng Jianjun, the central figure being sought after, just smiled faintly and said at last: "You are really flattering. My two children are okay in appearance, but they are very naughty at home. Especially my little granddaughter, no one can control her at all. Sometimes she makes me angry, and I have to coax her with a smile. If it were the temper of my youth, how could I spoil her like this?"

Although he said this, his words were full of doting and pride. Everyone present was a smart person, so how could they not hear that the old man was showing off.

So someone rushed to flatter, "This is the relationship between grandparents, and it also shows that you two have a good relationship, and the family should be lively and lively!"

"Yes, yes, this is the joy of family! Old man, you are enjoying yourself so much."

Bai Yi took a sip of red wine and listened quietly to the flattery from everyone in the room.

At this time, Zheng Jianjun also noticed her. It would be more accurate to say that she was young, steady, and had her own aura, and was indeed very eye-catching among this group of middle-aged people.

So he took the initiative to ask: "If I remember correctly, you are Bai Jingyuan's daughter, right?"

Bai Yi, who was called, stood up calmly and responded politely: "Hello, Grandpa Zheng, my name is Bai Yi."

Zheng Jianjun looked at her inconspicuously, and confirmed that this person was definitely not a rare talent, so he smiled and said, "Hello, I have heard of some of your achievements. At that time, I only sighed that the young are formidable. Now that I see it this way, I feel that the future of this country depends on young people like you."

After he said this, everyone present couldn't help but look at Bai Yi a few more times. In addition to some inexplicable scrutiny, there was also a mixture of envy.

You have to know that Chief of Staff Zheng is not the kind of person who speaks politely. If he didn't really admire someone, he would definitely not say so in such an occasion.

Bai Yi, who was envied by everyone, said calmly: "Grandpa Zheng, you are too kind. I can achieve what I have today. In addition to my own efforts, I have to thank our country for the great achievements of this era. Because I was born in an era of peace and rapid development, I have the opportunity to realize and create my own value."

After she finished speaking, the whole audience was silent, and after only a few seconds, there was a burst of applause.

No matter how others view what she said, Zheng Jianjun, who was born in troubled times, experienced life-and-death wars, and watched how the country has moved step by step to its current prosperity, must agree with and like these "heartfelt words".

Which elder doesn’t like a smart, excellent and grateful child?

Sure enough, Zheng Jianjun smiled even kinder and asked her, "Do you like watching the news?"

"I am usually very busy with work, but I also take time out every day to read financial news and follow the country's current affairs and policies."

"Yes, what do you think of the recent new policy on high-quality development of young people's entrepreneurship and investment?"

Bai Yi stood straight but relaxed as he replied, "I haven't really studied these policies. You are all elders here, so your understanding and opinions on this issue must be much deeper than mine. I can only share my personal thoughts. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, Grandpa and the elders."

After she finished speaking, Zheng Jianjun smiled and said, "I think you young people have more insightful and reasonable views on some things than us. Don't worry, just say what you think."

Bai Yi smiled elegantly: "Just as you said, Grandpa, the hope for our country's future lies in the hands of the new generation of young people. As the saying goes, a strong youth means a strong country. If a country wants to develop steadily, the economy, technology, education and infrastructure are the key. Therefore, the country strongly supports young people to start their own businesses. First, to discover the real talents needed by the country and make outstanding contributions in various fields. Second, it is also to inspire..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Jianjun couldn't help but nod his head, with a more cordial smile on his face: "Well said. I feel relieved to see that our country has outstanding young people like you."

Bai Yi stood up and raised his glass to him and the old leader, with a sincere and respectful attitude: "If it weren't for the bloody battles of your generation, how could our generation be where we are today. This glass is for Grandpa Jiang and Grandpa Zheng."

The old leader, who had been listening silently, was already very impressed by her previous remarks, and now he was even more satisfied after hearing her say this. In fact, by his age, he had seen countless younger generations who were full of sweet words and flattery.

But the younger generation in front of me did not have any flattering intentions in her words and deeds, she just talked calmly and fluently. And what she said was exactly what the young people today would not think of, or would not bother to say. Naturally, I felt very relieved.

The dedication and hard work of their generation are ultimately remembered by today's young people. Isn't this a beautiful inheritance?

So he laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, good, good, good boy, your Grandpa Zheng and I must drink this cup, and drink it happily!"
