Chen Bei failed to date again, and his family was helpless with him. He was picky and could not make up for him. People in their early thirties would be cold if they didn't get married.

Xia Xiaoqing secretly said to Chen Zikun: "You father is not in a hurry to hold your grandson. You ask me to arrange a wife for him. He has to follow him, and even if he doesn't follow him."

Chen Zikun said, "My son's temper is as good as you, he is much stronger than me. Marriage is a lifelong thing, let him."

Xia Xiaoqing had no choice but to say, "Your son has no luck with his wife, and his luck is all occupied by you, the father."

Chen Bei didn't want to stay in the provincial capital, so he carried his simple luggage and went to Beitai to work. In the past, his family was rich and powerful. He either took a plane or took a special train wherever he went. Now he could only take a hard seat in the train. Of course, at Chen Zikun's level, it would be fine to find a railway branch to arrange soft sleepers, but he had very strict requirements on his family and never took advantage of the public.

He spent some time on how to arrange Chen Bei for the Party Committee of Jiangbei United Machinery Company. First of all, the level must be corresponding, but he cannot hold a real position, because Chen Bei is not a management talent, and he is a pilot and has no place to use his skills in a machinery company. After thinking about it, he was finally assigned to the security department as the deputy section chief. The machinery company is a large enterprise, and the level is equivalent to the county and regiment level. The security department is set up at the full-time section chief. It is reasonable for Chen Bei to be the deputy section chief.

Chen Bei, the deputy section chief, does not have to be responsible for the specific work, and he is happy to be idle. He either exercises or makes airplane models every day. Since he can't drive the plane, he should be addicted to the model.

Every morning he would go to morning exercises, regardless of rain or shine. There was a tree-lined avenue in the factory area, and the female workers' dormitory was facing the road. Such a tall and handsome young man naturally attracted the attention of the female workers and admired the new deputy section chief very much. However, Chen Bei seemed to be very alienated from the masses. He lived in a villa in Jiangwan, and had motorcycles to carry. He was shiny all day long and had straight trousers. During lunch, people gathered together to eat and drink. He had a small stove alone, drank coffee and butter bread.

Others don’t know Chen Bei’s background, but Ma Chunhua, the secretary of the Youth League Committee, knows very well. She knows that this guy is Chen Zikun’s son and the Kuomintang ace pilot. Although he later revolted, he still cannot change the style of the bourgeois eldest young master. You must be vigilant against such people.

Jiangbei Iron Smelting Plant and Jiangbei United Machinery Company are brother units. The steel produced by the iron plant is transported directly to the machinery company, causing guns, cannons and bullets to be transported to the battlefield of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. Workers from the two factories often hold friendship activities, various sports competitions, entertainment performances, and the union will hold it every now and then.

On that day, the two factories held another basketball game. The iron factory team vs. the machinery company team. The venue was located in the sports club of the machinery company. Because there were a few young men in the security department participating, Chen Bei went to watch the game even though he had nothing to do.

This kind of amateur event is generally not at a high level, and both sides are not even unified in their jerseys. They snatch up on the court and make a lively trip. The Iron Factory team is more skilled and has even poured the machinery company team for more than ten points, which is a big lead.

Chen Bei couldn't stand it anymore. He had practiced basketball. In 1948, the Kuomintang authorities held a national sports meeting. Chen Bei represented the Air Force in the competition and had a good record. Naturally, he did not appreciate this amateur level.

In fact, there were several strong players in the team, but they were recruited to the army to resist the U.S. aggression and aid Korea, so the team was not as strong as the Iron Factory team. Seeing that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Bei couldn't sit still and found the union chairman and asked to participate.

"You, can you?" The union chairman looked at his prosthetics with concern.

"I shot correctly and I'm big. I might get some points when I go up, otherwise it would be a bit ugly." After Chen Bei said this, the union chairman had to agree.

Chen Bei came on stage, wearing a vest, pants and leather shoes, and the temporary number "23" was written casually in chalk. His appearance brought a turning point to the machinery company team.

In the old society, poor people were not full, and their children were not well developed. Workers were generally short, and even those who were selected to join the factory basketball team were only over 1.7 meters tall. Chen Bei inherited his parents' genes and grew up eating steak and milk in the United States when he was a teenager. He was even stronger than Chen Zikun, and he was 1.88 meters tall. The altitude alone was enough to crush the other party.

Chen Bei is quick to move and shoots accurately. As long as the ball reaches his hand, he can shoot into the basket half of the basketball court. Just kidding, he is one of the successors of the Swallow Sect Sect. He is a piece of cake to shoot.

The scores quickly tied and gradually led the way. The Iron Factory Basketball Team assigned two players to intercept Chen Bei, but no matter how they jumped, the height was still a little different. The player Lu Erxi couldn't help but breathe, and he bumped into it with his arms, and Chen Bei fell to the ground immediately.

The referee blew the whistle and the machinery company team made a foul.

The coach of the Iron Factory team protested, saying that the machinery company team changed players in the last match and looked for foreign players, which did not count.

The coach of the machinery company team was not convinced and said that this was a person from our factory, even if it was counted.

Both sides were angry and dissatisfied with each other, so they started pushing and shoving on the field. As soon as Chen Bei got up, he was kicked on the calf by a man from the Iron Factory Team. He lay down again. He was a hungry tiger and rushed on to the food, grabbed the other party and pissed it off.

A fierce battle began, and the alternate team members joined the battle group one after another, but Chen Bei was the most brave in fighting. Although he was lame with one leg, he was not affected in this melee. Not to mention his martial arts skills, he even practiced in group fights every now and then when he was a pilot. These ordinary workers are not opponents.

The basketball game turned into a group fight, and the machinery company team beat the opponent completely because Chen Bei was there.

Ma Chunhua sat in the audience with anger and her face turned blue. Chen Bei was really too much. He made a good match into a group fight, destroying the unity of the two factories, which was simply intentionally causing chaos in socialist production and construction.

Fortunately, there were still many production cadres in the stadium, who tried hard to stop the fight. Only Lu Erxi was still resolute and rushed forward to beat Chen Bei. The cadres hugged him in the middle, but he was too strong and grabbed him and pulled him. Chen Bei's pants on his right leg were torn apart, revealing an aluminum alloy prosthesis.

The whole audience suddenly became quiet.

Only some senior officials knew about Chen Bei being a disabled person. He never publicized himself and wore pants when walking and exercising. Who would have thought that such a tall and handsome young man would be a cripple.

Lu Erxi was stunned and was at a loss for a moment.

Chen Bei's face turned blue. He was very taboo to be seen by others and was reluctant to be known to be disabled. He did not want to be treated specially or taken care of.

In public, Chen Bei turned his head and left, his silver-white prosthetic limbs were so dazzling.

The competition ended quickly, and both sides stopped and went back to receive punishment.

Ma Chunhua is a middle-level cadre of the machinery company and a member of the party committee. She seriously proposed at the party committee meeting of the machinery company and gave Chen Bei a warning.

"Friendship first and competition second are the fine traditions that our two factories have always maintained. When Chen Bei arrived, he destroyed his unity and caused a very bad impact, so I proposed to punish him."

The Party Secretary smiled and said, "Let me listen to the opinions of other comrades."

The union chairman said: "I think it's not to exaggerate it. They are all angry young people. Basketball games are high-intensity sports for physical contact, so conflicts are inevitable. Just criticize and educate them, and there is no need to be punished."

Ma Chunhua's eyebrows stood up: "I don't agree with your statement. If you keep everything in harmony and follow the crowd, how can you build socialism? Chen Bei not only undermines unity, but also has problems in his daily life style."

The director of the Women's Federation was a middle-aged woman, and she immediately cheered up: "Oh, Xiaoma, tell me what's going on? Is Chen Bei harassed our female coworker?"

Ma Chunhua said: "No, now it is the world of our proletariat. I don't know that he has the courage. His life is not ordinary. He eats bread, butter, drinks coffee, wears leather jackets, woolen pants, rides a motorcycle to and from get off work. He usually wears half a pound of wax on his head, and even slippery flies can't stand it. Such a person is a cadre and the masses can't see it."

Speaking of excitement, she slapped the table.

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit awkward. Although Ma Chunhua was only the secretary of the Youth League Committee and was only in her twenties, no one dared to underestimate her. This lesbian was born as a militia heroine, engaged in underground work of the party, and served as the district mayor. Everyone knew that Ma Chunhua would be the secretary of the Party Committee of the Machinery Company in the future. Her political appearance and revolutionary experience were destined to be this upward line.

Therefore, Ma Chunhua's opinions must be fully respected.

The trade union chairman smoothed out and said: "Don't be excited, Xiaoma, although Comrade Chen Bei had some minor problems, he was a revolutionary comrade after all. He also made sacrifices for the revolution, broke one of his legs, and participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. I think the punishment will be exempted, and criticism and education will be the main focus."

Ma Chunhua said: "You call him a comrade, where is he a comrade? He is a party member or a league member. He is a Kuomintang pilot. I don't know how many comrades in the army were killed. What happened to the uprising? Why didn't he revolt? I can't continue to think about the uprising. This is not an uprising, but a speculation."

The Party Secretary could not bear it anymore and tapped on the table: "Xiao Ma, please note that the honor of Chen Bei's hero in the uprising was given by the Central Committee and given by Premier Zhou himself. Do you want to sing a counter-tune with the Central Committee?"

Ma Chunhua realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words: "I'm so angry that I can't speak, I'll review it."

The Party Secretary said, "Your emotions are understandable, but now it is not the war era, but the socialist construction period. Chen Bei has mistakes and shortcomings, but we cannot give up on him. We must help him, save him, and give him a chance."

Everyone nodded, saying that the secretary still had a high level of thought.

Ma Chunhua kept silent and didn't say anything, but she was actually not convinced.

The secretary said: "Chen Bei is a young man after all, and he should be in charge of his ideological work by the Youth League Committee. I think Xiaoma, you should take this responsibility and help Chen Bei one-on-one in life and work."

Ma Chunhua was stunned: "What, I."

The secretary said: "If you have any opinions, raise your hands to vote."

Except for Ma Chunhua, everyone raised their hands.

The secretary said: "The organization unanimously decided that Ma Chunhua was responsible for helping Chen Bei make progress. In this way, the meeting was dispersed."

Until everyone walked out of the conference room, Ma Chunhua's wide mouth had not closed yet.
