Mei Huarong was so shocked that she almost screamed out loud. She quickly covered her mouth, her eyes full of shock and disbelief.

"What? There are still traces of the National Ability Research Institute? What kind of luck did Lu Yu have that the National Ability Research Institute would actually stand up for him?"

She lowered her voice, her tone filled with disbelief and jealousy.

Lu Dongsheng nodded slightly, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, I just heard about it too. Lu Yu seems to have close ties with certain people at the National Ability Research Institute. His promotion is likely not only due to his ability and opportunity, but also because of the support of the National Ability Research Institute."

Mei Huarong's face turned extremely grim upon hearing this. She was well aware of the National Ability Research Institute's status and influence in the country; it was a mysterious institution that possessed extraordinary powers and cutting-edge technology.

If Lu Yu is really involved with them, then his future will be limitless, and I am afraid I will never be able to stop him.

"This...how is this possible?"

Mei Huarong murmured to herself, unable to accept this cruel reality. She had always thought highly of herself, believing that she was the one who should be at the pinnacle of life, but now it seemed that she was too naive.

Lu Dongsheng looked at Mei Huarong's distraught look and felt a little lost in his heart.

He had long expected Mei Huarong to react like this, and at the time, the news was also a huge shock to him.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and began to think about how to take advantage of this opportunity. After all, he was Lu Yu's biological father, and apart from being a little indifferent to Lu Yu, he had never hurt Lu Yu.

However, he seemed to have forgotten that if it weren't for his indifference, how could Meihuarong dare to ignore Lu Yu?

I have to say that some selfish people always manage to turn their selfishness into something that seems natural.

"Hua Rong, do you understand now? Lu Yu's promotion wasn't accidental, but was backed by a strong background. If you still want to live like this, you must learn to adapt to this rule and make use of all available resources."

Lu Dongsheng said this earnestly, with a hint of temptation and threat in his tone.

When Mei Huarong heard this, a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in his eyes.

She knew that she could not compete with the National Institute of Supernatural Powers, but if she could use Lu Dongsheng's power, she would be able to

"Then...what should I do?" Mei Huarong asked in a low voice, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in his voice.

Lu Dongsheng smiled faintly, a sly glint in his eyes. "It's simple. As long as you're willing to mend your relationship with Lu Yu, stop being so condescending, and treat Lu Yu's wife like a normal person without acting like a mother-in-law, everything will be fine." He spoke slowly, his tone filled with confidence and temptation.

He really didn't think that his wife would be as close to his daughter-in-law as mother and daughter.

Mei Huarong's heart wavered when she heard this. She looked at Lu Dongsheng's confident eyes and felt as if she saw hope for her future. So, she gritted her teeth and decided to give it a try.

Isn't it just like getting along with ordinary people? She can do it, she can do it!

"Okay!" Mei Huarong said in a low voice, with a bit of determination and firmness in his voice.

Upon hearing this, Lu Dongsheng showed a satisfied smile on his face.

As long as Meihuarong doesn't act up, based on his understanding of Lu Yu, Lu Yu will not do anything to him.

He is in his early fifties, and as long as he is not marginalized, it is enough. Maybe he can get promoted again with the help of his son.

The news of Lu Yu's appointment as deputy regiment commander came out soon.

"chief of staff?"

Qin Wan was not surprised to hear the news.

"Um."

Lu Yu nodded: "Our regiment commander personally went to the army commander to ask for people."

Qin Wan's face twitched: "..." Although she didn't know how high the position of chief of staff was in the army, the fact that the regiment commander did this definitely showed that he valued her man very much.

Thinking this way, I asked, "Does your leader like you very much?"

Lu Yu nodded again: "He regards me as a brother."

The team leader is already over 30, but he has always been very nice to Lu Yu.

"Is this a high position?" Qin Wan asked again.

"Not really. It's just half a level higher than the regular battalion."

There was an unwritten rule in the military that those below the rank of battalion commander were considered mid-level cadres, while deputy regimental commanders were considered senior military cadres. Therefore, many believed that there was a watershed between deputy regimental commanders and battalion commanders. However, Lu Yu was unwilling to tell Qin Wan about the twists and turns here.

His woman just wants to live a simple life.

Lu Yu was promoted to deputy chief of staff. His brothers were very happy. They surrounded him, patted his shoulders, and laughter and congratulations rang out one after another.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds and falls on Lu Yu's resolute face, reflecting the determination and pride in his eyes.

"Brother Lu, you are the pride of our battalion! Deputy Regimental Officer, you have to protect us brothers from now on!" Li Qiang patted his chest and smiled from ear to ear.

"No, no, it's all the result of the joint efforts of my brothers." Lu Yu responded modestly, but his heart was filled with indescribable excitement. He knew that this position was not only a recognition of his personal abilities, but also a recognition of the efforts of the entire team.

However, amidst the laughter and joy, there are always a few discordant voices.
