Chapter 218
It was difficult to find empty seats on airplanes during the Chinese New Year period, and Qin Qing thought she would have to take the high-speed train, but she didn't expect that the person who came to pick her up was a helicopter.
"Colonel Qin, I'm Commander Wu who sent me to pick up your deputy. You can just call me Gao Song!" The tall young man in military uniform who was flying the helicopter saluted her and briefly introduced himself.
Qin Qing also returned the salute and said with a smile, "Comrade Gao Song, I'm so sorry to have to trouble you to come here during the New Year. Thank you for your hard work!"
Gao Song smiled and shook his head, and replied: "Colonel Qin, this is our duty. Besides, it is our honor to serve you during this special period. Please fasten your seat belts, we will take off immediately."
Qin Qing also fastened his seat belt as he was told, and the helicopter roared and slowly took off.
Looking through the window, she saw the crowd and fireworks below and suddenly missed Jiang Yi. She took out her cell phone and started texting him.
As soon as she sent the message, the phone rang. It was Jiang Yi calling.
Jiang Yi asked anxiously, "Qingqing, are you leaving now?"
“Yeah, just got on the helicopter.
"Hey, why don't you wait for me so I can go with you." Jiang Yi couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"What day is today? Why are you running with me instead of staying at home with your family? Besides, you may not stay with me even if you come. You might as well stay at home and wait for me to come back."
Jiang Yi thought so too. Qin Qing must be going to an important person's house. He would definitely be questioned when he got there. It would be a question whether he could get in at that time. It would be better for him to wait for his girlfriend to come back at home.
"So when will you be back? Otherwise, I'll pick you up. Although my family doesn't have a helicopter, we have a private plane."
"No, we don't know the patient's condition yet. Once it's confirmed, I'll tell you when to go back. Oh, and please say hello to Grandpa Jiang and the others for me. I'll visit you when I get back to wish you a happy new year."
"Don't worry, even if you don't tell me, I will tell my family."
The two chatted for a while before reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Beijing.
The helicopter landed on the helipad outside a scenic manor. Qin Qing unbuckled his seat belt, said "thank you" to Gao Song, and got off the helicopter.
She looked around. The environment here was elegant and peaceful, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside. It was obviously an extraordinary place.
At the gate of the manor, there were already several people in formal attire waiting. When they saw Qin Qing getting off the plane, they immediately came up to greet him.
"Oh, Colonel Qin, it's been a long time since we last met. Happy New Year!" Wu Yang greeted with a smile.
Qin Qing also smiled, saluted, and then greeted him with a smile, "Commander Wu, Happy New Year. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few months, you are more graceful than before. Even your white hair is gone, and you are in much better spirits. Congratulations!"
Wu Yang laughed heartily, looking particularly energetic: "Hahahaha, this is all thanks to our Colonel Xiao Qin. Since I took your pills, my old bones seem to have returned to my youth. I'm even stronger than that good-for-nothing son. At least I can still perform several sets of boxing. That guy can't even handle one of my moves. Hey, young people nowadays, they don't know how to cherish their good days. They spend all day around the computer, yelling about playing e-sports. Hum, it's really infuriating. Xiao Qin, let me tell you..."
Usually when one hears the words "I'll tell you", it is bound to be a long speech, and Qin Qing's mouth twitched when he heard it.
"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not saying anything bad to you, Old Wu. Colonel Qin has been on a long flight, so he doesn't have time to listen to your long speech. Let him in quickly and have some hot tea. It's very cold today."
"Yes, yes, yes. Look at me. I get excited when I talk. Come here, Comrade Xiao Qin. Let me introduce you. This is the Chief of Staff of the Army Headquarters, Chu Shan. You can call him Uncle Chu."
Wu Yang pointed at the middle-aged man who had just spoken.
The man had a resolute face, regular features, and a look of majesty between his brows. His deep eyes, as if they had experienced countless storms, appeared steady and powerful.
He shook hands politely with Qin Qing and said with a smile, "Colonel Qin, your name is well-known in our circle. Ever since the people above took the pills you made, my back pain has also been cured. I feel more than ten years younger. Hahaha, thank you for your generous contribution!"
Qin Qing smiled embarrassedly, "You're welcome. I'm also a professional, and it's my honor to cooperate with the official. The official has helped me a lot. To put it bluntly, I'm taking advantage of it."
Wu Yang pointed at another man and said, "This is Lei Peng, the Minister of the Air Force Warfare Department. You can call him Uncle Lei."
Lei Peng himself has a unique temperament. He has the rigor and strength of a soldier, yet the gentleness and restraint of a mature man. The look he gives Qin Qingye is full of kindness and appreciation as an elder looks at a younger person.
He stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Qing with just the right amount of strength, appearing neither impolite nor overly enthusiastic.
"Colonel Qin, I have also heard about your deeds. It is not easy to achieve such achievements in the field of medicine. Several comrades in our Air Force Combat Department have received your treatment and recovered very well. We will always remember your contribution to our troops." Lei Peng's words revealed his respect for Qin Qingye.
Qin Qing also bowed slightly and responded modestly: "Uncle Lei, you are too kind. I just did what a doctor should do. It is my greatest honor to be able to help my comrades in the army."
After the greetings, Wu Yang led Qin Qing into the manor.
The interior decoration of the manor is simple and elegant, and the wooden beams and slate floors exude a sense of historical sedimentation.
Qin Qing also followed several elders through the spacious corridor and came to a warmly decorated reception room.
Wu Yang smiled and invited everyone to sit down, then looked at Qin Qingye, "Xiao Qin, you must be hungry, I'll ask the cook at home to make you something to eat, what do you want to eat? It's not right to ask you to run around all day during the New Year without making something delicious."
Qin Qing also said: "Uncle Wu, let's not go. I'm not tired here. Let's go and see the patient's condition. Eating is a small matter, but seeing a doctor is a big matter."
"Well, okay, work first, and then eat after you finish the work."
A group of people stood up again and went to the next door...the manor.
Oh, I didn’t expect it to be my neighbor.
But the distance between neighbors is too far. It takes 5-6 minutes to drive there, and at least 30 minutes to walk there. It takes a lot of time to visit each other every time.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and a fifty-haired man walked out of the villa and greeted us happily.
"Mr. Wu, Mr. Lei, Mr. Chu... and this one, could it be the famous Colonel Qin? Oh, how disrespectful! Please come in quickly! Mr. Zhao is waiting!"
He made a gesture of invitation, and several people walked into the villa.
Qin Qing was also the last one to go in. After all, she was a junior, so there was nothing wrong with her walking behind.
