Sometimes, you just happen to find a pillow when you're sleepy.

Something happened two days ago.

Su Zhaohai's eldest son was a minor leader at a cotton mill. His mill received an assignment to produce a batch of cloth for the military, and he was put in charge of this task.

When the cloth production was completed, the military logistics department went directly to the trucks to pick it up.

During transport, the truck suddenly caught fire. Normally, both the truck and the cloth would have been reduced to ashes. But this driver, fearless as he was, rushed onto the truck and tried to grab the cloth.

He was dumbfounded when he got on the truck. The truck wasn't full; it was only half full. How could that be? At the time, he didn't have time to think about why, and he just started unloading the cloth.

The truck caught fire very quickly. The co-driver pulled the driver off the truck. A human life is always more important than a piece of cloth!

The two men stared blankly at the half-full load of cloth they had managed to salvage. They had both seen that it was only half a cartload.

Before leaving the cotton mill, they saw that it was a truckload of cloth!

If they hadn't rushed onto the vehicle, they would have thought it was a truckload of cloth that had been burned.

The two men looked at each other in dismay, and then they saw that the cloth they had snatched out was also defective and of poor quality.

This is no small matter. To escalate things to this extent, the people involved must have considerable influence. It's not something a mere driver could easily influence.

They were the last car in the convoy, and the people ahead of them didn't know what had happened.

The co-pilot was originally Shen Changchuan's driver. After being demobilized, he went to work in military logistics.

Shen Changchuan's subordinate troops were nearby. He simply grabbed the cloth and headed there with his driver.

Some people in the army knew the co-driver. He said he had been bullied in the supply transport team and came back to find his old commander.

This is a kind of sentiment among soldiers: even if you leave my unit, you're still my brother. At that time, some people wanted to go to the logistics and supplies department.

The co-pilot disagreed, and he wanted to call the old leader using the dedicated phone line.

He had been Commander Shen's driver for many years and knew that Shen looked down on Su Zhaohai. The person in charge of this matter at the cotton mill was Su Zhaohai's eldest son.

Having served General Shen for many years, he was well aware of these relationships.

These are truly my own soldiers!

Shen Changchuan did not personally deliver the two drivers and the substandard cloth to the relevant departments.

With substandard fabric present and the matter alarming relevant personnel, Su Zhaohai's attempt to cover up his son's actions was a pipe dream.

So regardless of whether you, Su Zhaohai, are a spy or not, let's deal with your son who made a mistake first.

I ran into Su Zhaohai before the meeting today. He suddenly sighed that time flies and his children have all grown up.

Shen Changchuan always gave Su Zhaohai the runaround, and today was no exception.

Su Zhaohai said that Su Rui and Ruomei were not young anymore, and Ruomei was still studying, so marriage was not an option, but they could get engaged.

There were people in front of Su Zhaohai when he spoke, and his words immediately attracted their attention.

That bastard Su Zhaohai thinks the girl's reputation is more important. He deliberately brought this up to confirm that Su Rui is dating Ruomei.

If the child agrees, the parents can't persuade them otherwise.

Shen Changchuan certainly understands this principle.

He's busy with work every day and rarely sees his daughter. How can he be sure she's not dating? He probably wouldn't dare deny it outright in front of others. Besides, even if he did deny it, what about Su Zhaohai and Wen Shujuan, Shen Changchuan's wife?

Therefore, Su Zhaohai planned to take advantage of Shen Changchuan's lack of understanding and inability to outright refuse, and create public opinion to influence the situation. With Shen Ruomei's mother approving and her father not objecting, and with this young girl being influenced by public opinion, what could she do but agree?

Having become Shen Changchuan's in-law, he felt obligated to help his eldest son for the sake of his daughter's future.

The driver had been Shen Changchuan's soldier, and the people investigating his son were also soldiers he had trained. As long as Shen Changchuan said one word and they didn't investigate further, and his family was willing to pay to make up for the losses, there wouldn't be a big problem.

Su Zhaohai's ability to do this is primarily due to the exceptionally good work Shen Changchuan has done over the years. Although the two are not close friends, whenever Su Zhaohai asks Shen Changchuan for a favor—or rather, just something he mentions—as long as it doesn't involve matters of principle, even if it's slightly difficult, Shen Changchuan has never refused.

This time, for the sake of my daughter, it's not a problem to be flexible again.

Shen Changchuan looked slightly surprised, but in fact, he immediately thought of many things.

Years ago, my sister-in-law carried Yinghong and took him to see the ducks in the duck shed. She said, "Look at how well we treat the ducks now."

Give it the freshest vegetables and feed it grains. You should know that many people still can't afford grains.

Do you know why we treat ducks so well? Because we're planning to eat them.

It is actually a strategy.

When we are facing an opponent we cannot defeat immediately, we can be courteous, like raising ducks. Treat them well, so they never imagine they will be killed. That way, when you finally kill them, the duck meat will be fattier and easier to prepare.

Su Zhaohai is now like a duck being kept in a shed. He never expected that Shen Changchuan's method was taught by Su Lin, whom he hated the most.

The person in front of him was Su Lin's student and brother-in-law.

He never realized that Shen Changchuan wanted nothing more than to shoot him dead. He only knew that Shen Changchuan was principled and that he couldn't control him.

He felt that his family was a good match for Shen Changchuan, and his son was presentable. Although he hadn't succeeded in winning over Shen Changchuan, they weren't enemies either, so why should he disagree?

Shen Changchuan thought of so much in an instant, and his expression of surprise was just right: "Su Rui and my Ruomei? Who told you that?"

Su Zhaohai: "Do I need to hear this from anyone? My Su Rui goes to Ruomei's school every day."
