Chapter 210 Deal
Human beings are emotional animals, and the sublimation of emotions lies in communication.
After Tang Caiying got to know Chen Yan better, she didn't feel as annoyed anymore, and at the same time she felt a little happier.
Look how scared he is, it's quite funny.
"Commander Chen, I can do your job, and it's very easy, but I have only one request, you know."
"Or Rudy?".
"That's right."
Chen Yan shook his head and said, "Rudy joined the army voluntarily. I can't decide. I can't do this."
There was a hint of displeasure between Tang Caiying's brows. "Since we can't reach an agreement, let's not talk anymore." Then she slammed the wine glass heavily on the table.
Chen Yan didn't show much expression. He took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to Tang Caiying, and lit one for himself.
"I understand your feelings as a sister who loves your brother.
In my heart, I have long regarded Rudy as my younger brother. You are the older sister, and I am the older brother.
Well today, as a brother, I would like to say a few words from my heart to you, my sister.
First of all, Rudy is an ambitious young man. Although he has always been frustrated and lazy in the team every day, I know that he is a talented person who is not appreciated. Once he is allowed to break out of his cocoon and become a butterfly, I believe he will achieve something.
Besides, do your family members really know what Rudy wants?
You sent him to Japan, and finally he ran to the United States.
You sent him to the Kuomintang, and he finally joined the Eighth Route Army.
You are doing your best to give him what you think is best, but is that necessarily what he wants?
He is a human being, an outstanding young man with emotions, thoughts and courage. Do you want to suppress him for the rest of his life in the way you think is right?
Is he living his life to be himself or to be like you?"
Unconsciously, Chen Yan lost his composure, his voice became hoarse, his pupils were bloodshot, and his eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
"Sister, sooner or later the young eagle will have to face the blue sky alone."
"I'm sorry, sister, I'm a little excited," Chen Yan waved his hands and covered his eyes.
Tang Caiying looked at him in amazement, her face full of shock. She didn't expect Chen Yan to be so excited.
Although advanced foreign ideas had already poured into China like the sea at that time, the thousand-year-old family-oriented ideology had already been deeply rooted, and even a new woman like Tang Caiying could not stand out from the crowd.
Chen Yan's speech was so empathetic that she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes! Is this kind of protection really good for Xiaodi? Then why does he run away again and again?
Am I really wrong?
Seeing Tang Caiying's confused face, Chen Yan hit the nail on the head with his words.
"Sister, there's nothing wrong with you doing this for Rudy's own good. What's wrong is that you should understand better what he wants and then help and support him."
Chen Yan sighed and said, "Rudy is an adult now, you should learn to think from his perspective."
Tang Caiying couldn’t calm down for a long time because of Chen Yan’s words.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes...
"Sister, today I solemnly promise you as the commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Column that if Rudy wants to leave, I will never stop him. At the same time, as Rudy's big brother, I tell you frankly that if he doesn't want to leave, no one can take him away. Even if I can't get the equipment, I will never sell out my brother."
If Chen Yan had spoken to Tang Caiying like this a few days ago, she would have thought he was threatening her, but at this moment she felt that Chen Yan was trustworthy.
After a long time, Tang Caiying slowly raised the wine glass, "Commander Chen, I'll toast you. I'm determined to make you my friend."
"I'll go back and talk to Xiao Di again. If he...he must go back, I won't stop him.
But I hope Commander Chen can promise me one thing, this is the only boy in my family, and I want you to ensure that he is absolutely safe."
“Absolutely safe?
I’m sorry, sister, I don’t dare to drink this glass of wine.
You also know that what we do is not 100% safe.
However, I can promise you that if a bullet is fired on the battlefield in the future, as long as I am by Rudy's side, the bullet will definitely hit my chest first.
Tang Caiying gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, with Commander Chen's words, I, as his sister, feel relieved."
The two of them had a harmonious atmosphere, and Tang Caiying asked about Rudy's usual situation in the team. Chen Yan told some embarrassing stories about Rudy, which made Tang Caiying very happy.
"By the way, sister, I want to discuss something with you."
"About the production line?"
"No," Chen Yan respectfully poured her a glass of wine and continued, "This matter is actually a military secret, but Big Sister is not an outsider, so it's okay to talk about it.
In addition to being the commander of the column, I am also the director of the arsenal, and I plan to make Rudy my deputy director.
Firstly, the Arsenal is relatively safe in the rear, and Rudy is not suitable for fighting;
Secondly, Rudy studied chemical engineering, which is a suitable major for him. He will be interested in it. Given time, I believe he will be very successful. Besides, the position of deputy factory director is at the deputy regiment level, which is not low."
As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Caiying immediately understood that Chen Yan was doing her a huge favor.
Not only did he save Rudy from danger, but he also made use of Rudy. If he didn't mention the production line again, it would be too ignorant of the ways of the world.
Even for Rudy's future, this production line must be given to the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking of this, Tang Caiying looked at Chen Yan with even greater appreciation.
This man is so outstanding!
"Commander Chen, I would like to thank you on behalf of my father and mother. Since you have done this much, I must also express my gratitude. I agree to the production line."
"Really?" Chen Yan couldn't hide his excitement. After so many days, this matter was finally finalized.
"Don't worry, if I, Tang Caiying, can't do what I said in Shanghai, you can go to the Tang Mansion and kidnap me."
"Tsk, sister, you are really bringing up things that are irrelevant. Aren't you just slapping me in the face?"
"Hahaha...".
The two had a very pleasant conversation on the Huangpu River. Tang Caiying was very satisfied with Chen Yan, so Chen Yan became a frequent visitor to the Tang Mansion.
The next morning, according to the agreement between the two, Chen Yan arrived at Tang Mansion early and waited for Tang Caiying to take him to see the production line.
"Commander Chen is here. Let's go. I'll take you to see the equipment in the morning. I have two American clients coming to visit me in the afternoon, and I have to attend a social dance party for British diplomats in the evening."
The number one socialite is really busy!
Chen Yan got into Tang Caiying's car, and Li San drove behind.
"Xiao Chen, these equipments are in the countryside, a bit far away."
Because of Chen Yan's special status, even though Tang Caiying's driver was an old man who had followed her for many years, she was still cautious.
"It's okay, sister, I'll follow your arrangements."
The car gradually drove out of the city and came to the country road, raising clouds of dust.
