Chapter 1158 Who could resist such top-notch treatment?
"So, how was the welcoming ceremony? Not bad, right?"
In the principal's office, Principal Wang Guohuai spoke with a hearty laugh.
Previously, he had deliberately hidden the drummers, buglers, and flag-raising team members inside the building.
They were just waiting for Qin Feng to get out of the car so they could rush up and start singing and dancing, and set off the salute.
Qin Feng said with a forced smile, "Hehe, hehe, I am quite surprised."
Hao Zhengwei immediately took credit for it: "We rehearsed this welcoming ceremony several times in advance. Of course, it can't compare to the scale of your event at Red Square."
Qin Feng humbly expressed that he appreciated the sentiments of his alma mater.
But then he turned his gaze to a major general who was sitting there with a smile on his face.
Wang Guohuai then slapped his forehead and stood up to introduce him: "Let me introduce you, He Changming, the commander of the Garrison Command of the Garrison War Zone, and also the superior of Comrade Hou Haifeng, who has been in contact with you before."
Qin Feng saluted, then extended his hand: "Hello, Comrade Commander."
Liu Changming returned the greeting and grasped his hand: "Comrade Qin Feng, let me make it clear beforehand that I'm not here as a lobbyist. I just happened to be passing by on business and thought I'd take a look at your military academy's honor guard and flag-raising team to see if there are any promising candidates to select."
Qin Feng nodded in understanding, but he was secretly on guard.
He couldn't believe such a coincidence could happen; he had just returned when the head of the garrison command happened to appear at the military academy.
Besides, before leaving, Hou Haifeng said he had to go back to report, but the leaders weren't even at the office, so what kind of report was he supposed to give?
Looking at the situation again, the three people sitting on the sofa and Hao Zhengwei brewing Kung Fu tea clearly indicated that a small-scale banquet was about to take place.
As expected, Liu Changming first praised Qin Feng's outstanding performance in the military parade, as well as his own unique advantages.
"Although some days have passed, I can still find videos about you on social media and online."
"Below, all the comments from netizens were saying something like, 'The handsome guys have all been handed over to the state.'"
"I want to date you, be your girlfriend, oh my, it makes me so happy."
Liu Changming set the stage by offering a suggestion, and then Hao Zhengwei handed over a cup of brewed Tieguanyin tea.
"Xiao Qin, if you ask me, you're not getting any younger. You should start thinking about settling down, starting a family, and finding a stable career path for the future."
"Actually, having a stable job isn't so bad. It's not good to keep giving you this title of specially appointed teacher indefinitely, since you only come back a few times a year."
"This is what we mean: as long as you are willing to settle down in Beijing and stay at the military academy as an associate professor or something, the military academy will work with the Garrison Command of the War Zone to get you a subsidized apartment within the Third Ring Road. We will cover all the expenses and provide you with a commuter car, the kind with proper license plates."
"Although it may only be a hundred square meters or so, it is definitely in a good location, a school district house with convenient commuting; as for the car, you can choose any joint venture car under 500,000 yuan, and you don't need to worry about the license plate."
Qin Feng's heart was pounding like a drum. He had initially thought this was a trap, but now he realized it was a purely altruistic scheme.
These leaders really went to great lengths to keep him.
A house of about 100 square meters within the Third Ring Road, especially in a good location, is worth tens of millions.
A joint venture car under 500,000 yuan might not sound like much, but the most expensive thing in Beijing isn't the car, it's the license plate.
As he spoke, Qin Feng was indeed somewhat tempted. After all, this was the heart of the motherland, and it offered him a golden opportunity to become a military academy instructor and associate professor.
Back in military academy, so many people were fighting tooth and nail for a spot to stay on as faculty members. Even Zheng Hui, the teaching assistant at the time, was helped by Qin Feng.
Now he's staying at the school as an instructor, with a stable income and staff dormitory; it's said he's achieved success in both love and career.
Seeing that Qin Feng did not explicitly refuse this time, Liu Changming and Wang Guohuai exchanged a glance, seemingly thinking that there was hope.
In modern society, people have a price; if you can't entice someone, it's because the price isn't high enough.
The Qin Feng of the past, though excellent, wasn't so excellent that people would go to great lengths to acquire him.
But now it's different. After years of experience and honing his skills, he has acquired the necessary qualifications of an outstanding high-level military talent.
This is similar to spending huge sums of money to hire scientific and technological research and development personnel at high salaries, and providing them with the highest level of welfare benefits.
Wang Guohuai sipped his tea and said slowly, "If you're not satisfied, we can raise the requirements a bit more."
At this moment, Qin Feng finally understood what it meant to be under the emperor's nose, what it meant to be a high-ranking official in the capital, and what it meant to be rich.
These are conditions that Ge Hongbin absolutely cannot offer, and most other war zones would not be able to offer such generous terms either.
But after much deliberation, Qin Feng suppressed the urge in his heart: "Gentlemen, please don't try to bribe me. I come from a small place and have never seen much of the world."
"If you do this, what if I lose control and become a traitor to our war zone? Deputy Commander Ge might just shoot me dead."
"Hahahahaha..."
Although Qin Feng was refusing, he did so in a very clever way, giving the three leaders plenty of face.
Unlike his rejection of Hou Haifeng, he could be relatively more direct with officers of equal rank.
However, when facing superiors, humility, politeness, and courtesy are essential.
Wang Guohuai laughed and pointed at him: "You kid, you're really unmoved even when there are mountains of gold and silver in front of you. Do you know that Hao Zhengwei and I have been living in the military compound for so many years and have never enjoyed such treatment?"
"Tell me, what's so good about the Southwest? There are lots of mountains, lots of trees, lots of dense forests, lots of mosquitoes, especially the area you're stationed in, which is at a high altitude. Even drinking water has to be transported from the city."
Liu Changming was also looking at Qin Feng with great curiosity, wondering what was so attractive about that land to him.
Qin Feng: "Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as green mountains and clear waters. Conditions are tough where we are, but they toughen people up."
"Our army commander and deputy commander trust me very much and have high hopes for me."
“I rose from a soldier there to where I am today, so I don’t want to let them down, and I don’t want to betray my comrades and brothers.”
Upon hearing this, the three people in the office fell silent. They had underestimated Qin Feng's understanding of the word "dedication" and the duties of a soldier.
But this made Deputy Commander Ge Hongbin, who was in the next room and heard everything clearly, excitedly swing his fists several times in the air.
He strode out of the room, opened the principal's office door, and immediately gave Qin Feng a big hug.
"Good lad, I knew I wasn't wrong, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Qin Feng was a little confused when he saw the deputy commander suddenly appear. He looked at the smiles on the faces of the three men and then he understood.
This seems to be a test for myself?
Damn it, I almost lost control!
