Chen Zikun's speech at Jiangdong University achieved unprecedented success. The 27-year-old general conquered the hearts of teachers and students of several surrounding colleges and universities with his unique and strong personal charm. (_%%)

There are two newspapers in the provincial capital, one is Jiangdong Times and one is News Express, both founded during Sun Kaiqin's administration. The owner of the newspaper was an Anhui warlord, so he naturally had no good words to Chen Zikun, and he took it out of context and spread rumors and slander. This time, he did not report the wonderful speech of Chen Zikun in just a few words, only saying that the army went to the streets, which disturbed the merchants and the people.

The exterior wall is fragrant inside and outside the wall, and Chen Zikun's actions are spread to the ears of overlords from all sides through various channels.

He took off the five-colored stars and betrayed the orthodox Beiyang. Even when Yuan Gongbao became emperor, Cai E of Yunnan's genuine guardian did not do this. Chen Zikun did this too outrageously, but the reactions of all parties were very dull, and it could even be said that he had no reaction.

After hearing about the five provinces' team coach Sun Chuanfang, who was so close to him, the proud team coach just laughed: "Chen Kunwu is used to acting, and he uses a little trick to make students play around. It's really his, but he has only made a fortune and ignores him."

Duan Qirui, who was forced to go crazy by electricity from all parties, heard that Jiangdong had established a protective captain, didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said to his staff: "This country is no longer in harmony."

After Fengtian Zhang Zuolin knew that Chen Zikun broke with Beiyang, he laughed and said, "Xiao Chen can't stand the loneliness anymore. Okay, mom, the more chaotic it is, it's better to expose the fox's tail."

After hearing all the rumors, Wu Peifu praised it quite well: "Zikun has learned my true teachings."

People from all walks of life are not very worried. They know that barking dogs often do not bite people.

As for the Guangzhou Kuomintang, the Kuomintang army, which claimed to be radical, remained silent about Chen Zikun's behavior.

...

A copy of the Jiangdong Times was placed on the desk of Chen Zikun of the Supervisory Office. The front page title was "The provincial army changed its name and protected the **, and changed the soup and did not change the medicine. What did Chen Supervisory Officer intend to do?"

The second version is gossip news: "Director Chen personally admitted that he was a Beijing coachman and had never studied at Peking University." Below is a sour text, which cleverly describes Chen Zikun as a martial artist who doesn't know a single word.

"It's ridiculous, do they think they can deceive the people of the whole city?" Chen Zikun threw the newspaper aside with disdain.

The newspaper was brought by Yan Su. He sat on the sofa opposite and said, "The great man should not underestimate the power of the newspaper. The white one can be said to be black, and it is not impossible to do the thing that refers to a deer as a horse."

Chen Zikun said: "I have noticed it a long time ago, but he has no way to deal with these stinky literati. Beijing reporters scolded President Cao Kun so much that they were so angry that they were just smiling and not taking it seriously. Could it be that I, Chen Zikun, don't have the energy?

Yan Su said: "Freedom of speech is indeed not easy to interfere. Besides, they always play the edge. If the newspaper is sealed and the editor is arrested, the image the commander has worked hard to establish will be ruined. However, blind indulgence is not a solution. The best choice is to run a newspaper and confront it against tit."

Chen Zikun's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I expect that I know a friend from the press and I definitely have a set of newspapers."

Yan Suqi said: "Which one?"

"Ruan Mingchuan, the gold medal reporter from Beijing newspaper."

"Oh, it's him. I have an impression that this person will definitely succeed when he comes forward to publish the newspaper."

"Then it's settled. I'll write a book and send someone to Beijing to invite him over."

Yan Su nodded repeatedly and talked about some things about newspapers. He changed the subject and mentioned the students' participation in the army.

"The threshold of the Jiangdong Army School has almost been broken these days. College students have signed up enthusiastically and joined the army. It is always a good thing to have these student soldiers who know the text and verbal words in the army. The officers trained by their own home are easy to use. Isn't this the case in Guangzhou Whampoa Military Academy?"

Chen Zikun said: "That's true, but you should also pay attention to the issue of party members joining the army. If the Jiangdong Army is intervened by the two parties, its combat effectiveness can certainly be improved, but it is easy to cause trouble. At critical moments, the troops will be miserable. Brother Xiaoan is watching more."

Yan Su said: "Don't worry, I won't allow them to develop their party into the army."

Deputy Director Zhao Yufeng came in and reported: "Master, how many students are here to ask for a meeting."

"Oh, who is it?"

"I know that woman, the one who is in the supervision office, is quite slim and looks like Miss Lin at first glance." Zhao Yufeng smiled with his little eyes.

"Please." Chen Zikun sat upright and pulled the hem of his military uniform.

"Then I'll leave first." Yan Su stood up and said goodbye. When he went out, he saw two men and one woman walking in.

The man is Zheng Zeru and Mai Ping, and the woman is Liu Ting.

"General Chen, we are here to apply for the job." The three of them said in unison.

Chen Zikun was holding a pen and signing the document, without raising his head, "Has the Supervisory Office recruited people?"

Mai Ping glared: "Hey, wasn't you said last time? I'm waiting for a seat."

Chen Zikun put down his pen and looked at them seriously: "Three, I am the military affairs supervisor of Jiangdong Province, the general in charge of the whole province's military affairs, not the deputy director, and the recruiter of the office, please contact the deputy director."

After saying that, continue to review the documents.

The three of them hit a nail, but were not discouraged and really went to find the deputy director Zhao Yufeng.

Zhao Yufeng made a sarcasm and asked the three of them about the school and subjects, and said, "Mr. Zheng is a top student. Wow, this education is so high. The high school students here are not so awesome. Mr. Mai and Ms. Liu are from the Chinese Department of Jiangda, so why did they find a job before they graduate?"

Mai Ping said: "It's not a problem. There are no more courses. Let's settle the job first."

Zhao Yufeng said: "Then what do you want to be?"

Mai Ping said: "I want to join the guards and get a staff officer..."

"If you eat food and serve as a soldier, then you have to go to the camp outside the city. There is a recruiting flag erected at the door. We only need civil servants here." Zhao Yufeng looked at Mai Ping contemptuously. He didn't like this young master with a greasy and floury face.

Zheng Zeru said: "After listening to the speech held by Chief Chen, we want to do our best to the country and ask Director Zhao to fulfill his wish."

Liu Ting nodded vigorously.

Zhao Yufeng said: "Mr. Zheng has such a meaning to speak, wait for me to see."

He took out the roster and flipped it around, saying, "There is really a vacancy. The Secretariat lacks a female clerk. Let's go."

"Thank you, Director Zhao." Liu Ting smiled.

Zhao Yufeng also smiled and said to himself: "San concubine, don't thank me. I don't have any value for this. I, the deputy director, will be useless."

"As for you two, go to the Commonwealth Department, a second-class clerk." Zhao Yufeng took out the registration book and pushed it to them. "If you want, sign a name."

Mai Ping widened his eyes and reached in front of Zhao Yufeng with a white face: "General Affairs Department, isn't that just a chore? We, the great college students, do this?"

Zhao Yufeng said: "The General said that work is not divided into high and low, and the Common Affairs Department serves the office. The responsibility is very heavy. It doesn't matter if you don't want to do it. Anyway, some are people."

"We do." Zheng Zeru grabbed Mai Ping and said calmly.

"I forgot to say that the general affairs department is short of cleaning the cottage, so you two will take the lead first." Zhao Yufeng buried his head in handling official business, looking very busy.

"You!" Mai Ping clenched his fists.

"If you want to wash the cottage, just wash the cottage, do it." Zheng Zeru was still as calm as usual.

...

The Supervisory Office recruited three new college students. Liu Ting managed the archives in the Secretariat. Although she was facing a large number of boring data files, she could at least claim that she was the Supervisory Secretary and was quite proud. However, Zheng Zeru and Mai Ping could not do anything about their work and actually worked as a worker in the Commonwealth Department.

The thatched cottages in the office are divided into inside and outside. The inner houses are all renovated water thatched cottages, with flush toilets and tap water, which are quite clean. However, the office space is an old-fashioned squat pit, with white maggots crawling around with feces and urine flowing, which smells pungent and dirty.

Maiping is the nephew of the police chief Mai Zilong. He can be regarded as a young man from a noble family. He can't bear this humiliation. Even if Zheng Zeru persuaded him with great sincerity, it was useless. He went back to school without even going to work for a day. However, Zheng Zeru insisted on it. For the convenience of work, he moved into a small warehouse where tools were stacked in the office. He cleaned the cottage every day and praised it.

In the archives room, Liu Ting is sorting out files. The Supervisory Office was the yamen of the Qing Dynasty, and it had accumulated many old land files. It took a lot of energy to reorganize them. No one has done this matter since Liu Ting came.

The secretary's work is far less glorious than imagined. Supervisor Chen is like a different person, stiff and cold, serious, and even sent Zheng Zeru to the general affairs department to clean the toilet. This made Liu Ting puzzled. Is Supervisor Chen in the office the same person as the energetic leader on the Jiangda campus?

During lunch, the officials in the office went out to drink in groups of three or three. The fragrance of food in the back house wafted over. Liu Ting felt a little hungry, so she opened the blue cloth printed bag she brought from home, took out an enamel jar, which contained a piece of steamed bun and two slices of pickled radish, spread the printed cloth on the table, and slowly started eating.

Suddenly, she noticed someone coming in, turned her head and stood up in a hurry, hid the steamed bun in her hand behind her, and stammered: "Supervisor... why are you here?"

It was Chen Zikun who came. He had a gentle smile on his face and waved his hand and said, "Sit down, don't be so reserved. I'll find a file for the military pay expenses of the patrol camp during the Xuantong period."

"I'll help you find it now." Liu Ting hurriedly put down the steamed buns and was about to start construction.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be busy." Chen Zikun noticed that there were two inconspicuous patches on Liu Ting's elbows.

Liu Ting was either moving or not moving. She stood there at a loss. She was known for her intelligence on the Jiangda campus, but she looked like a timid kitten in front of Director Chen.

"You just eat this?" Chen Zikun looked at the steamed buns and pickled radish.

"Well, I have many younger brothers and sisters in my family. It is not easy to provide me with college. I can save as much food as possible." Liu Ting replied.

"What did your father do?"

“He is the proofreader of the newspaper office.”

“Which newspaper?”

"Jiangdong Times."
