"Dingling bell~~~"

The noisy bell woke up the young boy who was sleeping soundly. He took a pillow and covered his head, dreaming of sleeping for a while longer.

"Bang bang~"

There was a sound on the door, and the young boy had to take away the pillow covering his head and shouted to the door: "Shi Ang, if you knock again, I will go out and pluck your ears later."

The knocking on the door stopped and Shi Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Ang's voice of complaint soon came from outside the door, "Mom, second brother, not only is he unwilling to get up, he also beats me."

“Deng Deng Deng~~”

"Arthur, hurry up, I'll take you to report in person later."

Shi Xu sighed and got up sadly.

He has graduated from college this year, and like his eldest brother, he was also assigned a job by his father.

But the eldest brother went to the government, and he was assigned to work in the military department.

He just graduated and didn't want to work so soon, but he couldn't disobey his father's order.

Mom must have heard Shi Ang's tip, so she rushed back from Hanking to urge her to report.

After getting up and taking a shower, Shi Xu dressed up and walked down the stairs and came to the red-haired beauty.

Alice reached out and hugged her son, stood on her tiptoes and kissed her son twice on the cheek.

Then he smiled and said to his son: "My son is very handsome today. He is 8 points as handsome as your father."

Shi Xu curled his lips, then looked at Shi Ang, who was hiding aside, and raised his hand to make a gesture to hit him. Shi Ang was not afraid at all and made faces at him.

"Hey, hey~"

Alice turned a blind eye to the interaction between her two sons, "Hurry up and eat, we have to leave early, I have a date later."

The two brothers sat at the dining table and finished their breakfast while playing with each other.

After eating, Alice took her youngest son and handed him into the hands of the nanny, and then she and Shi Xu got into the Crown car and drove toward the outskirts of the city.

……

The half-hour drive came quickly, and they arrived at the Central Military Police station.

There were already people waiting at the entrance of the station. When the car stopped, Alice got out of the car first and smiled at Qi Lin who was waiting at the door.

Qi Lin saluted Alice and then nodded, "Hello, Mrs. Alice."

Alice smiled and nodded, "Hello, Director Qi."

After saying that, Alice said to Shi Xu beside her: "Call someone."

Shi Xu nodded to Qi Lin, "Hello, Uncle Qi."

Qi Lin looked at the tall young man with black hair and blue eyes, smiling and nodding, "Shi Xu should be taller than the Chairman, the young man is really too tall."

Shi Xu nodded sheepishly, then looked at Alice, "Mom, go back, I'm here."

Alice nodded, "Shi Xu gave it to you, Director Qi. Please help me keep an eye on him."

Qi Lin smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Mrs. Alice."

After Alice got into the car and left, the two turned and walked towards the military camp.

……

After Qi Lin chatted with Shi Xu on the road, he took him to get a set of bright yellow military uniforms.

"This is the military uniform of our General Armament Department. The difference from the General Logistics Management Department is that our collar insignia is a wrench and angle pliers.

If you are new here, we can only assign you the rank of sergeant, which is the starting rank of our department. "

Shi Xu was a little happy when he heard that he could become a sergeant as soon as he came.

"Uncle Qi, can I manage a class at this level?"

Qi Lin chuckled, "A sergeant is a platoon leader in the army and can manage three squads. However, we are technical officers and cannot directly command the troops. The purpose of giving high military ranks is to get more salary."

Hearing this, Shi Xu showed slight disappointment, "So that's it, we just can't go to the battlefield?"

"You silly boy, what's the benefit of going to the battlefield?

When you go to the battlefield, you will find that everything around you is very depressing, with blood everywhere and broken limbs. Those miserable conditions will make you feel sick at the sight of them, and you will often have nightmares, and even form a psychological shadow. .

Therefore, we must cherish the peaceful time now. When it comes time for us technical officials to go to the battlefield, then our country of South China will be in real danger.

At that time, you have no time to be excited. Instead, you are thinking about how to repel and defeat the enemy and save our country and people. "

Shi Xu, who had been taught a lesson, did not feel disgusted and nodded sincerely, "Oh, I understand, Uncle Qi."

"Okay, stop thinking about useless things. Your identity is special. It is not appropriate for others to know your identity during the process of joining the army, so you need to give a pseudonym. What do you want to be called?"

Shi Xu thought for a while, "James Bond, how about it?"

Qi Lin looked confused, "Why did you choose this name?" "This is the name of the male protagonist in a story my father told us when I was a child. I like that story very much, so I want to choose this name, can't I?"

"It's okay, but your appearance is obviously of mixed race, so it wouldn't be good to have an entirely English name.

Your mother's surname is Underwood. Take the first letter of her surname as your surname. You might as well call her James Ann.

how about it? "

Shi Xu nodded, "Okay."

"Do you want to work on the front line, or work as a secretary next to me?"

Shi Xu thought for a while and replied: "I want to work on the front line."

……

Shi Xu took Qi Lin's Crown car to the door of a large factory building, "This factory is a military factory with a high level of confidentiality. You must pay attention to the confidentiality system after entering, do you understand?"

Shi Xu nodded, "I understand, Uncle Qi."

Qi Lin nodded and reached out to help Shi Xu sort out his collar badge and boat hat.

"When you get inside, you must pay attention to your superiors. When you speak to your superiors, you must pay attention to your tone, and you must not lose your temper. Otherwise, no one will stop your superiors from punishing you."

Shi Xu didn't listen much to Qi Lin's instructions. In his opinion, being in the army was more about gaining experience.

"Okay, Uncle Qi, I understand."

Seeing the perfunctory tone of the other party, Qi Lin didn't say much and said to the driver in the front seat, "Xiao Lin, please send Xiao An in."

The young driver hummed, got out of the car, and went to the guard's office with Shi Xu. After checking their IDs, the two of them walked into the 621 Factory together.

Neither of them spoke a word along the way. When they arrived at the factory office, Xu Huange, who was wearing military uniform, immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, what kind of wind is it today? Lin Feng is here, please come in."

Lin Feng gave Xu Huange a military salute, "Hello, Director Xu, I am here to bring a researcher. He is here now. Please accept him."

Xu Huange then looked at Shi Xu. After discovering Shi Xu's mixed-race appearance, he became a little curious.

The person who was able to be sent by Director Qi's driver was a mixed race. This young man must have some background, but he didn't know which family he was a relative of.

"Who is this?"

"He is James An. Director Xu, you can just call him Xiao An."

Shi Xu stepped forward, saluted with a military salute, and said loudly: "Hello, Director Xu."

Xu Huange smiled and nodded, "Well, the young man is quite tall. What major did you study before?"

"I studied chemistry before, specializing in new explosives."

Hearing Shi Xu speak like this, Xu Huange was even more sure that the young man in front of him was the child of a high-ranking official.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be so careless. When you reply to your superiors in the military, you should first say 'report'.

"Well, that's right. Lin Feng, you can go back. I will accept Xiao An on behalf of Factory 621."

Lin Feng saluted again, and then said to Shi Xu, "Come out with me for a moment."

Shi Xu didn't know what the young driver was going to say to him. He nodded to Xu Huange and then followed Lin Feng out.

Xu Huange didn't care about Shi Xu's recklessness and waited patiently.

When he arrived at the door, Lin Feng looked around, walked up to Shi Xu and whispered: "When you reply to your superiors in the future, you must add 'report' in front of it.

And when you get here, you are Director Xu's subordinate. You need to get Director Xu's permission before you can come out.

These are small details in daily life, don’t ignore them.

Otherwise it will be easy for someone to wear small shoes, you know? "

Hearing Lin Feng's reminder, Shi Xu became a little alert. He had really entered the workplace. His parents and Uncle Qi were not around, and he needed to cope on his own.

So he said "thank you" to Lin Feng, and Lin Feng waved his hand, "Nothing, I just want to remind you that no one here will accommodate you like being with Director Qi."

Shi Xu nodded, "Okay, thank you, I understand."

After seeing off Lin Feng, Shi Xu did not go in directly this time. Instead, he shouted "report" at the door.

"Well, come in."

Entering the office, Xu Huange didn't hesitate, "Let's go, I'll take you to the research room."

Shi Xu had no choice but to follow Xu Huange to the R&D workshop of the factory.

"This is a team that is conducting secret research and development. You need to be more modest when you get in. When you get to your new position, look more and talk less. Don't be rash, okay?"

Shi Xu didn't expect this boss to be so polite to him. He nodded, "Yes. By the way, what weapons are Director Xu and the others developing now?"

"The specific weapon has not yet been finalized. The weapon they are experimenting is based on the 'Monroe effect.'" (End of Chapter)
