"The person is already missing?" He Jijun asked somewhat surprised, "Didnāt you search carefully again, with this heavy rain falling."
Feeling a bit anxious, he thought if he had known the rain would come so swiftly, he wouldnāt have let Gu Lingling just run off like that. What if something happened?
"I have already searched all over several roads, and indeed, I couldnāt find her." Zhou Baoceng said, "Does she know someone in the military? Otherwise, she must have left the camp area and gone home."
This was something He Jijun didnāt know at all.
"Iāll go look again." He Jijun said with a dark face, taking the umbrella from Zhou Baocengās hand.
"Old He, donāt worry." Zhou Baoceng said helplessly, "Iāve already sent several soldiers out to look again. Letās wait a bit. If we still canāt find her, then you can go out to search again, okay?"
He Jijun was thoroughly regretful.
"Report." A soldier ran over and said, "We still havenāt found that young woman, but we learned that she got on a military vehicle."
Got on a military vehicle?
"I told you she couldnāt have disappeared for no reason." Zhou Baoceng said with a smile, "Look, sheās already on a military vehicle, she must be fine."
Seeing He Jijunās face darkened, he quickly asked, "Didnāt they find out whose military vehicle it was?"
The young soldier shook his head, in this rainy weather, nobody saw clearly.
But soon, Zhou Baoceng knew whose military vehicle Gu Lingling got on, and he quickly stopped smiling.
"Isnāt there a way to arrange accommodation at the guesthouse since the factory doesnāt have dormitories?" Lei Xingjun, the head of the service unit, directly called into Zhou Baocengās office and scolded him harshly.
"From now on, whenever we invite people from the engineering unit to help us with equipment maintenance, they will all stay at the guesthouse."
Thus, after a phone call, the treatment of He Jijun and others inexplicably improved a lot, "Does that little girl of yours know someone in the military?"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Baoceng asked curiously.
He had been in the munitions factory for so many years, and it was the first time he saw the head of a unit so angry, calling to criticize him.
Moreover, in the past, when He Jijun and others came, they always had this kind of treatment, and no one ever said anything from above. But today, they suddenly called to specifically emphasize staying at the guesthouse.
"I donāt know." He Jijun was also startled when he heard that they were arranged to stay at the guesthouse. Tang Wei, on the other hand, looked understanding.
No wonder she ran off in such a hurry; turns out she knew someone in the military, and not a small officer at that. For years, when they came, they stayed in the dormitory, and the conditions were terrible.
Now, suddenly moving to the guesthouse, it would be odd to say this had nothing to do with Gu Lingling.
"Anyway, we are benefiting from Gu Linglingās connection by staying at such a nice guesthouse, and we donāt have to suffer in that dorm anymore, so treat her better." In the guesthouse, Zhou Qing said while lying on his bed to Tang Wei.
"I just canāt stand those who use connections and still act so justified." Tang Wei said while arranging his things, "Why did we work so hard, studying to get into the engineering unit, while she just easily slipped in through a back door."
Zhou Qing thought about it and agreed.
"But didnāt the director say she was recruited by him?" Zhou Qing wondered, "And she did have the highest score on the exam."
"When have you ever heard of someone getting into our unit like that?" Tang Wei retorted.
They were all legitimately college graduates, top students from good universities.
