"Get up!" Brother Yang glared fiercely at Zhao Yuegang and Zhang Aibao, "What do you want to do? Huh? What exactly do you want to do?"
"Boss...Brother Dong, I’m sorry..." Zhang Aibao stared timidly at Brother Yang, "My mom is the only person I want to be good to."
"Brother Dong, my sister... my sister really likes you, and she absolutely won’t care about status, as long as she’s with you, she’ll be completely satisfied." Zhao Yuegang added hastily.
Brother Yang slowly swallowed the wine in his cup, then glanced at the two casually, "Alright, I understand your intentions; I like n who are filial and cherish family ties, but having brains is also very important, understand?"
"Understand! Understand!" The two responded in unison.
In a private room on the third floor of the hotel, a dozen n sat in front of laptops, fully capturing the scene in the room where Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian were located, "These two girls are young, but they can be considered talented." A man around thirty sighed, leaning back.
"Li, could the boss have poor judgnt?" The man sitting next to him continued, evidently the instructor Shao Bo during Luo Ye’s military training.
"If I had ti, I’d like to et the boss you keep ntioning. To be honest, I don’t quite understand why he would give up when he has the potential for unlimited prospects in the military." The man said with a sigh, "Such a pity, really too bad!"
"The boss has his own ideas, and his current developnt is also good—being the youngest Deputy Bureau-level in the republic. With this kind of growth, his prospects are absolutely limitless!"
"That’s true." Li sighed, "So people are born with favorable conditions; we may strive a lifeti yet only achieve in two or three years what others do."
This remark carried a hint of bitterness.
Shao Bo glanced dissatisfied at Li, his expression cooled: "The efforts and achievents of the boss aren’t sothing ordinary people can accomplish."
Li smiled wryly and shook his head: "When it cos to your boss, you are always full of admiration; my previous comnts weren’t directed at him but were simply stating facts.
Right now, we are a group of regint, battalion, and company-level officers gathered here, waiting to assist two little girls. To say everyone feels it’s wonderful, that can’t be possible, right?"
Shao Bo turned his head away, no longer engaging in the conversation; evidently, he was genuinely angry. To him, the boss is forever a hero, and as for Luo Ye, though he was once her instructor, her performance upon enrollnt made him admire her already, let alone now.
Li’s remarks, clearly tinged with emotion, were not to his liking; however, arguing further seed pointless, as the others in the room clearly supported Li’s opinion.
"Camp Commander Shao, don’t make such faces. I have to say, these two girls wouldn’t have gotten this far without external influence, who’d believe that?" A man in his twenties stated.
"What do you want to do?" Shao Bo’s brow furrowed tightly, a small fla igniting in his eyes.
The current task was temporarily assigned by Director Lei, and their presence here was out of necessity, as the action by Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian was unexpected.
And the Fierce Tiger Team mbers ambushed elsewhere couldn’t be deployed; he understood Li and so of the battalion and company-level officers felt dissatisfied. After all, at this level, it’s difficult for them to access higher-level matters, to them many things they couldn’t achieve, might make them feel others couldn’t either.
He also acknowledged that the military is not a sanctity, with such and such unfairness; therefore, so officers lacking backgrounds are more inclined to make personal judgnts.
Of course, the premise is they believe those gathered are trustworthy; this way, implicitly, everyone treats each other as friends or brothers, daring to speak candidly.
The rationale is clear, yet being questioned face-to-face about his eternal hero wasn’t easy emotionally.
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Li hurriedly tried to diate: "Camp Commander Shao, why so anxious? Xiao Long is rely discussing the matter. We see in promotional videos, aren’t there often female mbers in the Special Action Team?
And stories about them are introduced; film works often adapt from reality, right? Moreover, the inherent advantages of female mbers..." pointing to the screen, "we’re witnessing now, aren’t we?"
"Li, I don’t want to argue with you; when the task is completed, have the regint’s elite compete with Luo Ye, be it an officer or a soldier, in any aspect; if she loses, I’ll crawl around the regint headquarters. If she wins, every one of you..." Shao Bo’s gaze swept across everyone, "all who questioned her must solemnly apologize. Okay?"
Li nodded straightforwardly: "Okay! I have no problem, what about you guys?"
"I have no problem, not only will I apologize, I’ll also crawl around the regint headquarters. Agreed?" The man called Xiao Long responded.
"No problem!"
"No problem!"
"..."
After everyone agreed, Shao Bo’s expression improved a bit, as he stared at the screen and remained silent. The others exchanged glances and lost interest in talking as well. For a while, the only sounds in the room were from the video and the sound of breathing...
anwhile, Luo Ye, Zhao Qianqian, and Li Shaogang were warmly chatting with Lin ili’s parents.
Initially, Lin ili’s parents were a bit flustered upon seeing the two look like people from a painting — or even more beautiful than those in pictures.
As a result, Mrs. Lin was quickly put at ease when the two warmly grabbed her hands and started chatting casually. Mr. Lin was a man of few words, so he sat aside, watching his wife chat with the two girls with a satisfied smile.
Lin ili quietly turned away to wipe her eyes. Shaodong Song comfortingly patted her hand and whispered, "In the future, just treat them well, don’t cry."
"I want to treat them well, but with my limited abilities, I’m afraid I can’t help much." Her gaze drifted towards Li Shaogang, "Qianqian’s boyfriend is the son of the Secretary. Really, what can we possibly offer?"
"Friendship isn’t about what you can offer, but whether you have the heart for it. They’re unfamiliar with this place. When they aren’t performing, visit them often, cook sothing nice. These two kids likely can’t cook at all, can they?"
"That’s true." Lin ili nodded, finally feeling a bit relieved.
Shaodong Song raised his glass and looked at Li Shaogang, who seed a bit bored sitting aside, "Mr. Li, thank you."
Li Shaogang was slightly taken aback but then understood and smiled while raising his glass, "Brother-in-law, no need for formalities. It’s my duty to co and see uncle and aunt.
Besides, I made a small mistake when I first t Sister Lin, and she generously didn’t hold it against . I’ll drink this, and then toast Sister Lin." After speaking, he drank his glass in one go, and the waiter hurriedly ca forward to refill his glass.
"Sister Lin, give so face. I was being inconsiderate, please be more forgiving."
Lin ili snatched the glass from Li Shaogang’s hand, "Shaogang, sis isn’t mad. Even if you’re going to drink, eat sothing first."
They were drinking top-quality Wuliangye, a cup containing two and a half liang. She didn’t want to get this Secretary’s son drunk. Who knows if things between him and Zhao Qianqian would work out?
If he turned hostile in the future and held a grudge, it would be more than she could handle. Marrying Shaodong Song wasn’t ant to bring him troubles, and this happiness was hard-earned. She was determined to extinguish any destabilizing factors early.
"Sis, I’ll listen to you."
Lin ili calling him "Shaogang" made Li Shaogang extrely comfortable. He realized that Zhao Qianqian was a girl who valued relationships deeply. By treating her friends warmly and making them feel like family, Zhao Qianqian would be happy, bringing him a step closer to winning her heart.
The group, each with their own thoughts, naturally couldn’t escape Luo Ye’s attentive gaze. She suddenly looked at Shaodong Song, "Brother-in-law, would you like to visit our room later? One of Li Shaogang’s friends is a well-known entrepreneur from Yuanzhou nad Yang Rundong; you might collaborate with him in the future."
"Yang Rundong?" Shaodong Song repeated, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and after a mont of hesitation, he waved, "No, I won’t go. With my position, befriending such a prominent figure doesn’t an much."
Li Shaogang glanced at Zhao Qianqian, fervently urging, "Brother-in-law, please go. Brother Yang is particularly kind and righteous. Chat with him, and if he has performance opportunities, he’ll look for you — it would be your achievent."
"No need to make Mr. Li owe a favor. It’s not my private group, truly unnecessary." Shaodong Song firmly refused.
"Brother-in-law, to make Sister Lin’s life more comfortable, shouldn’t you try to bring in more business?" Luo Ye grinned at Lin ili, "Sister Lin, am I right?"
"Luoluo, thank you. I know you’re thinking of what’s best for . But I’m very content with my life now. Happiness has a certain relation to wealth but isn’t the key factor. As long as he treats well, even growing crops together, I’d feel happy."
Shaodong Song’s eyes filled with laughter as he lovingly patted Lin ili’s head. The sweet affection quickly flowed between them, and Mrs. Lin paused her chat with Zhao Qianqian, paying full attention to her daughter and son-in-law, brimming with relief.
"We’re heading back; they’re awaiting us." Luo Ye checked the ti and stood up.
Both parties bid farewell and left the private room. After a few steps, Lin ili suddenly rushed out, giving Li Shaogang an apologetic smile, "Shaogang, may I say a few private words with Luo Luo and Qianqian?"
