Chapter Seventeen: Heading to He's Residence

  Under the accompaniment of Zhao Lijuan, Feng Sicheng arrived in front of his uncle's main hall. General Zhao, wearing a marshal uniform, walked out. He was going to meet the original Central Military Commission member and his former superior, so he naturally had to dress more formally.

  When Zhao Zhongjiang and his wife came out to see Feng Siche wearing an Armani suit, he nodded repeatedly, "Good, very good, indeed worthy of being a young master of the Zhao family, with this spirit, haha."

  "Alright, you just know how to brag." Grandma He Jia Yu heard the boss start bragging again and first rolled her eyes at him. Then she quickly walked in front of Feng Si Zhe and helped him adjust his clothes before saying: "Hm, my Zhe is indeed handsome, just like your father when he was young, haha."

  As soon as she finished speaking, the air in the courtyard suddenly solidified, and it seemed that He Jia Yu's words had somehow touched a sore spot, evoking sadness in everyone. It was just like when Zhao Li Rong thought her husband had been wronged to death during the Cultural Revolution, but because General Zhao didn't lift a finger, now one couldn't help but wonder if Feng Si Zhe would think the same way.

  It was Feng Siche who felt the change in everyone's expression. He smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm Zhao's grandson, how can I not be handsome? Hehe, Grandpa, I've packed up, can we go now?" Only Feng Siche, who had lived two lifetimes, knew how precious this hard-won family affection was. Seeing his family members from the previous life all healthy and strong in front of him, his mood was especially joyful.

  "Ah, we should go." Zhao Zhong suddenly came back to his senses, first staring at his wife with a look of blame for her chatter, then sending Feng Sicheng a knowing glance, before walking out of the courtyard in a steady gait.

  They got on Grandpa's military vehicle and headed straight for He Chuanran's villa.

  He Ge's family originally lived in the Baoshan Siheyuan compound, but because of his poor health, they moved to a high-ranking villa complex near the 301 Hospital. This villa complex was not built long ago and is mainly inhabited by some national leaders who are not in good physical condition, such as members of the Central Political Bureau, Central Military Commission, and State Council members. Being able to live in this compound also proves one's identity is important.

  At the entrance of the high-ranking villa group, there were armed police on duty. Even someone with a status as high as General Zhao had to go through some formalities and checks before the car slowly drove in under the armed police's regular military salute, all the way to the front of He Xiangning's old man's villa before stopping.

  At the gate of the villa, He Lizhen, daughter of He Xiangning and deputy director of the Ministry of Finance's Rules Department, stood at the door to welcome General Feng and Feng Sicheng on behalf of her father.

  "Haha, it's Li Zhen, you don't have to come out to greet me in this strong wind. I'm not a stranger here at the old commander's place, no need for such a grand welcome." Zhao's rough voice rang out, and then Feng Sicheng and Zhao also got out of the military jeep together.

  "Uncle Zhao's arrival made my father extremely happy, and he had already instructed me to wait at the door. If I dared to disobey his orders, I'm afraid I would be subject to military law, and I don't have the guts for that." He Lijun chuckled and also joked with General Zhao, from which it can be seen that the relationship between the two families is still good, otherwise, as a deputy departmental cadre, she wouldn't dare to joke with General Zhao in this way.

  "Haha, okay, Lijun, let me introduce you to my grandson Feng Sicheng, who has been studying in the UK for many years and holds two master's degrees. Come on, Zhe'er, say hello to Auntie Lijun." General He shifted his body slightly to make way for Feng Sicheng, gesturing for him to greet her.

  Feng Sizi knew that the woman in front of him was his girlfriend He Sha's aunt, so he immediately bowed deeply and paid his respects as a junior.

  For the stylish and mature Feng Si Zhe, He Li Zhen showed a good first impression, nodding her head directly: "It's really worthy of being Zhao Zhongjiang's most proud grandson after returning from studying abroad. The young man not only looks handsome but also has inner qualities, which is far better than those big-headed kids in his class."

  Listening to He Lijun's words of praise, Feng Sicheng could only smile and nod. At this time, if he pushed back too much, it would seem a bit artificial. On the other hand, Zhao Zhongjiang just laughed and strode into the villa without stopping. This was not his first or second visit to He Lao's residence. Not long ago, when Feng Sicheng's article about the Gulf War was published in the internal reference, he was criticized by many senior military officials. He came here, listened to He Lao's teachings, and at that time, He Lao only said one sentence: as long as you think it's right, go do it. A member of the XX party should have this kind of thinking, stick to their own opinions, and not be swayed by others' thoughts. At that time, after hearing He Lao's words, Zhao Zhongjiang was indeed very excited for a while. It was not easy for him to get support from He Lao, a conservative leader in the military, especially when he was under pressure and had a heavy mental burden at the time.

  He Lizhen quickened her pace and arrived in front of General Zhao's villa, pushed open the door, and shouted into the spacious living room inside: "Dad, General Zhao and his grandson Feng Sicheng are here."

  Zhao Zhongjiang walked quickly, and He Lizhen had just finished shouting when Zhao Zhongjiang had already stepped into the living room. Following him, Feng Sicheng felt that his grandfather's body was straightened, and then saw his grandfather salute in a very standard military manner towards the northeast of the living room.
