Chapter 159 Let's Talk

That's right!

temporary!

Shao Zijie knew very well that Gu Yanfeng, with his petty and narrow-minded nature, must have already harbored a grudge against Tong Aiguo.

Thinking of this, he looked at Tong Aiguo with amusement and said, "Aiguo, I never expected that you, who look so honest and simple, could be so ruthless when you're being sarcastic!"

Tong Aiguo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "I learned all of this from others."

Upon hearing this, Shao Zijie was shocked: "What? There are people who teach others how to swear?"

Tong Aiguo shook his head with a laugh: "No, it's just that I watched a lot of people arguing in the countryside and picked up a few tricks from them."

What Tong Aiguo didn't say was that he had only learned one or two tenths of the skills of Cai Chunhua and Zhu Jinmei!

Gu Yanfeng is someone who is clearly full of bad intentions but likes to pretend to be a good person. If Cai Chunhua and the others were to come here, they would probably be so angry that they would lose half their lives.

Cai Chunhua and her group were masters of using veiled insults and innuendo.

Shao Zijie was speechless for a moment, and he looked at Tong Aiguo with a look of surprise.

What I was thinking was, how did this perfectly fine young man end up learning all this?

Tong Aiguo clearly saw the question in his mind and said, "My dad is the village party secretary. After I graduated from junior high school, I have been following him around and helping him deal with the conflicts among the villagers. I have seen a lot, so I naturally remembered some of them."

"Oh, I see!" Shao Zijie nodded.

As we were talking, the dishes were already on the table.

He gestured for Tong Aiguo to start eating, then asked seemingly casually, "Aiguo, Gu Yanfeng is a platoon leader in our unit. Aren't you afraid that if you offend him, he'll make things difficult for you in the army?"

Tong Aiguo took a bite of the roasted duck leg, his mouth greasy, and then held it up, saying, "What's there to be afraid of? For example, this duck eats the small fish in the river, and the small fish eat the shrimp in the river. He's a platoon leader, but there's still you, the regimental commander, right? Even if you, the regimental commander, can't hold on, there's still Brother Gu, the division commander!"

With a big shot like Brother Gu standing behind him, what was there for a mere platoon leader like him to be afraid of?

Moreover, Tong Aiguo is not a fool. From the moment he decided to come to the military region in Beijing, he had already been branded with Gu Yanxiao's mark.

That Platoon Leader Gu is obviously Brother Gu's enemy, and it's clear that he's already written his name down in the other's little notebook.

Does he think that if he doesn't curse at the other party today, the other party will let him off the hook?

Once you've chosen a side, stick to it. Trying to waver, or to stay out of it and be a fence-sitter, will only lead to your demise!

Shao Zijie chuckled at his words and pointed at him, saying, "I didn't expect you to be such a little rascal. Don't worry, based on what you said today, your brother Shao will definitely protect you! Also, this isn't how you eat roast duck..."

Both of them were big eaters and finished two roast ducks. Tong Aiguo felt that eating pancakes slice by slice was not satisfying.

He just grabbed the big duck leg and started gnawing on it with the flatbread, saying that this was a more satisfying way to eat.

Shao Zijie just smiled when he looked at him, feeling that he liked Tong Aiguo no matter how he looked at him, no wonder Gu Yanxiao treated him differently.

After the two finished their meal, Shao Zijie took Tong Aiguo for a stroll. When they figured it was about time, he took him back to the Su residence.

As she walked to the door, she ran into Gu Yanxiao, who was returning home.

Shao Zijie didn't hide anything and directly told Gu Yanxiao about meeting Gu Yanfeng at the roast duck restaurant that day.

“I feel we need to be wary of this kid. Although we are both in higher positions than him and he can’t do anything to us on the surface, Aiguo is a greenhorn since he joined the army. He’ll have plenty of opportunities to make things difficult for him.”

"If he wants to make things difficult, he needs to have the ability to do so."

Gu Yanxiao has always looked down on Gu Yanfeng.

It's not terrible to be mediocre; the world is full of mediocre people.

But Gu Yanfeng, despite being so mediocre, is so confident and has lofty ambitions.

I always feel that my lack of accomplishment is caused by others.

Every time he made a mistake, it wasn't his fault, but someone else's.

People like that, if left in the military, will only become parasites.

He had discussed this with Grandpa Gu a long time ago.

Unfortunately, Old Master Gu was only focused on having his family members win glory in the military and bring honor to his family.

But they never considered whether Gu Yanfeng was a qualified soldier.

In the end, they even went so far as to attribute Gu Yanxiao's military achievements to Gu Yanfeng.

In Gu Yanxiao's view, their branch of the family has now severed ties with the old house.

He has also broken away from Old Master Gu's camp and switched to Huo Chang'an's camp.

Old Master Gu even stepped down in order to protect Gu Yanfeng.

Now that Gu Yanfeng has completely lost all his support, what kind of trouble can such a mediocre person cause in the army?

You should know that in the military, engaging in dirty tricks and backstabbing will only earn you contempt.

It's always based on real skill.

Shao Zijie nodded: "What you said makes sense. Anyway, I'm just reminding you, and I think you already know what I'm talking about."

As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced into the courtyard, but did not see the figure he wanted to see, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes.

Gu Yanxiao noticed his expression and thought of the phone call from the Su family a few days ago.

A thought flickered in her mind, and she deliberately said, "Don't worry so much about my affairs. You should spend more time worrying about your own marriage! Even Yan Fei already has a boyfriend. Among us who grew up together, you're the only one still single!"

Upon hearing Gu Yanxiao's words, Shao Zijie's expression suddenly changed, and he felt his hands and feet turn ice cold. He tried to force a smile, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

After a long pause, he finally found his voice and could only murmur, "Commander, what... what did you say? Yan Fei... has a boyfriend? When did this happen?"

"Regarding what happened a while ago, my parents and the other party's parents have already discussed it and will get them engaged in a few days."

Gu Yanxiao pretended not to see Shao Zijie's ugly expression.

The reason he chose to tell Shao Zijie was actually because he didn't want him to keep dragging things out.

Since Gu Yanfei has already decided to wait for Su's second brother for three years, they will respect her decision.

Therefore, since Shao Zijie hasn't expressed his feelings yet, it's better to put an end to his thoughts as soon as possible; it's better for everyone.

To avoid dragging things out and, if things don't work out after we've talked it out, it would be awkward if we met again later.
