"Maybe he thinks he has no face to confront you."
"You go tell him, over my dead body will I let him leave! Unless he trains a new successor for ."
Tong Airui furrowed his brows slightly, "Uncle Muta, it’s no use for to say anything about this; you need to persuade him. Right now, what I’m anxious about is when you’re sending the deputy captain. And I’ll send you the list of replacents in a mont. If you think there’s no issue, I’ll announce the appointnts imdiately. At this ti, stabilizing our troops is of utmost importance."
"Alright, handle the appointnts quickly. As for the deputy captain... I’ve been thinking, I need to pick soone who matches well with you."
Tong Airui smiled and said, "I’ve got soone in mind."
"Who?"
"Bert!"
Muta was taken aback and hastily replied, "He won’t do; he’s never been involved with the Divine Eagles. Wouldn’t he just create more chaos if he ca?"
Tong Airui quickly explained, "Ruan Dawang is in charge of logistics, and Bert studied financial managent. He’s already managing the finances of an entire country flawlessly. Handling the Divine Eagles’ finances would be like child’s play for him. The reason I want him here is another thought: Bert is a Prince. Even if he does nothing and just sits there, his re presence is a deterrent."
"..."
Tong Airui smiled and said, "Uncle Muta, although this incident was significant, apart from the 14 million spent by Ruan Dawang, all the money can be recovered. And as for that 14 million, Luowa said she’d cover it for . If Bert cos, I’ll make those funds public. But if you send soone else, I’ll just use it directly to buy weapons!"
"You brat! You’ve even learned to use your father’s thods now!" Muta playfully cursed with a laugh, "You dare to threaten ! Wait till you co to see ; let’s see how I deal with you then!"
Tong Airui laughed, "I just told my dad earlier that I didn’t dare to act too boldly in front of you."
"Don’t act boldly in front of , huh? Then listen to : Ruan Dawang’s issue has nothing to do with you; Luowa doesn’t need to cover the money. Let’s just treat it as the price of a lesson learned."
"In this matter, I bear inescapable responsibility. I’ve already prepared my written self-review."
"No matter what you say, I definitely won’t take the money! Hand the phone to your dad; I’ll discuss the deputy captain appointnt with him."
"Alright, hold on." Tong Airui quickly returned to his office and handed the phone to Long Che.
Long Che and Muta talked for a while, ultimately finalizing the deputy captain selection. Bert would take the position the day after tomorrow.
After hanging up, Long Che looked toward Yi Luowa, "Your Uncle Muta absolutely refuses to let you cover that money. Just listen to him."
Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "If I can’t cover it, I’ll make ands in another way—by donating vehicles or weapons. Whatever makes Tong Airui feel better, money isn’t an issue."
Tong Yao sighed, "Luowa, you don’t have to think about Rui’er at every corner. He’s grown up without encountering much hardship, and this incident will help him mature."
"Mom, when you see him joking around and chatting with you all, it seems like he’s fine. But actually, he’s more distressed than anyone. He hasn’t slept at night for countless nights. If I can help a little, I’ll help. This matter has already taught him a profound lesson; he’ll be much more careful when handling things in the future."
As Yi Luowa spoke, she looked at Tong Airui with a heartache-filled gaze, "Things are mostly resolved now, so don’t stress too much. Tonight, no matter what, you must get a good rest."
Tong Airui nodded, "I’ll send so files to Uncle Muta shortly, then we’ll head to the back garden. Tonight, let’s let Mom and Dad taste my cooking."
"You’re going to cook yourself?" Long Che gave him a sideways glance, "Are you sure it’ll even be edible?"
Yi Luowa suppressed her laughter, "Dad, Tong Airui’s cooking is quite good, just a notch below my mom’s."
"The way you put it, now I really want to taste it." Long Che glanced at Tong Yao, "You haven’t had any of your son’s cooking, have you?"
Tong Yao shook her head with a smirk, "What luck do I have? He only cooks for his wife."
Tong Airui laughed helplessly, "Mom, this jealousy makes no sense."
Tong Yao glared at her son, "Which ear of yours heard being jealous? Hurry up and do your work!"
Yi Luowa laughed quietly, "Exactly, which ear heard that? Mom is such a magnanimous person; how could she possibly be jealous of ?"
Tong Airui raised an eyebrow slightly and turned back to his desk. After sending the roster to Muta, he handed it to Long Che for review.
Long Che was quite satisfied with the arrangents; after all, Muta was the King of the Xiawu Tribe, and it was essential to assign a position in the Divine Eagles to his n.
Soon, Muta responded. Apart from changing the replacent for Xia Nansheng with Sheng Duheng, the rest remained unchanged.
Upon seeing the reply, Tong Airui frowned. "My second uncle has been enviously talking about retirent for a long ti. With Muta’s decision, how am I supposed to explain it to him?"
Long Che chuckled, "They all listen to your mom, so let her handle it."
Tong Airui looked at his father in surprise, "Are you suggesting my second uncle should take this position?"
Long Che said seriously, "House Soldiers have always been under his command. If he stays by your side for a few more years, it’ll be beneficial for you."
"Mom..." Tong Airui gazed at his mother with hopeful eyes.
Tong Yao smiled and nodded, "I’ll talk to him and make sure he doesn’t give you trouble. Is everything finished? I’m still waiting to eat your cooking."
"All done. Let’s go." Tong Airui supported her as they walked.
Tong Yao smacked his arm, "I’m not that old; why are you helping ? Go help your wife."
Tong Airui furrowed his brows slightly, "Mom, speaking of your daughter-in-law, I need to have a word with you. She’s becoming more and more disobedient. With her big belly, she still walks as if she’s flying. Even when I ask her to slow down, she barely takes two slower steps before forgetting."
Tong Yao laughed, "Then go find your second uncle; he’ll settle her for sure!"
Tong Airui helped Yi Luowa up and teased his mother, "Sotis I think about complaining to my second uncle in a fit of anger, but the thought of her getting scolded makes relent."
Yi Luowa pouted, "Fine, I’ll change, okay? Are you a school kid, always tattling!"
Tong Airui smirked, "Who told you to not listen to !"
Tong Yao looked at her son, "Rui’er, why don’t I stay with Luowa for a few days?"
"Please don’t move in here!" Tong Airui glanced at his father as he said this. He knew his dad couldn’t stay away from his mom even for a single day.
Tong Yao followed her son’s gaze to Long Che, "What do you say? Can I stay here?"
Long Che huffed lightly, "Do as you please. You’re the boss of this house."
"My dad will do anything for his granddaughter now!" Tong Airui laughed.
But Tong Airui misunderstood this ti. Uncle Che’s real aning was that he and his wife would stay together. That’s why when they returned to the back garden, after enjoying their son’s delicious al, Long Che didn’t leave.
Long Che and Tong Yao stayed there for two days, leaving on Monday.
On Monday, Bert officially took office. After welcoming Bert with the entire officer team, Tong Airui announced the personnel appointnts.
This ti, aside from replacents, there were job rotations. The entire high-ranking echelon effectively went through a reshuffle. Following this major adjustnt, the Divine Eagles quickly displayed a new flourishing scene.
Muta didn’t let Yi Luowa cover the 14 million. After so adjustnts, Yi Luowa donated 50 million worth of new combat vehicles and another 50 million in weaponry under her personal na.
For this, Muta personally awarded Yi Luowa a Hero’s dal.
Back ho, Yi Luowa looked at herself in the mirror and smiled cheerfully. "Honey, I’ve got a Hero’s dal now; I’ve made so contributions. When are you going to upgrade my epaulettes?"
