Here to poach people, everyone: Commander, you are such a dog!

However, they did not dare to compete with this man, because he not only held a high position, but was also the largest arms provider, and everyone who saw him had to give in.

His tone was gentle, but it carried an invisible pressure. Shen Liwu clearly felt that this was a conversation that could not be easily avoided. She knew she couldn't just put it off any longer, nor could she delay or decline in the same way as before.

"Commander, I understand what you mean." Shen Liwu took a deep breath and looked into the commander's eyes. "I am also very grateful for your trust and expectations of me. But as a researcher, I must be responsible for my own project. If I interrupt the existing research, it will not only affect the progress, but also disappoint those who have always supported and trusted me."

If she were just an ordinary doctor, it wouldn't be a big problem for her to choose either one. But since she entered the military hospital, she has been put in this position, caught in a dilemma.

The commander nodded slightly, the look in his eyes was deep and hard to guess.

"Doctor Shen's sense of responsibility is admirable. However, the needs of the country sometimes require us to make some necessary choices. You are reluctant to leave Deputy Commander Zhou! I know you just got married, and it is indeed difficult to live apart." The commander's voice was still steady, but this sentence was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly tensed, and everyone's eyes moved back and forth between Chen Liwu and Zhou Yanjing at the same time. Zhou Yanjing stood behind the commander, his expression unchanged, but his eyes sank slightly, his fingertips silently clenched the seam of his trousers.

Shen Liwu's expression changed slightly. She didn't expect the commander to directly mention her relationship with Zhou Yanjing and even make it part of the topic.

She pursed her lips, trying to make her voice sound calm and confident. "Commander, Zhou Yanjing and I have just been married for less than a year, and I really don't want to be too far away from him. Whether it's staying here or going to a better place with more resources, it's all for research and to make more contributions. I'm greedy, I want to have the best of both worlds, and I hope to balance family and work." Her tone was slow, but every word was firm.

The commander's eyes stayed on her face for a moment, and then he smiled softly, his laughter was low and magnetic, "Young people, it's inevitable to have feelings."

The commander's laughter echoed in the room, carrying with it a pressure that could not be ignored. He placed his hands lightly on the back of the chair, his knuckles slightly bent, appearing calm and steady. Everyone in the room felt that invisible aura; even Sun Delin, who was the calmest during the day, straightened his back involuntarily.

"I understand. We can find a way to coordinate the personal issues between you and Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou. Zhou Yanjing is an outstanding talent, and I believe he can perform well in any position. Of course, if you don't want to be too far away from him, we can also consider transferring him to a position closer to you." The commander's voice was low and steady, as if he was stating an established fact rather than making a suggestion.

Shen Liwu's heart sank suddenly, and her eyes subconsciously drifted towards Zhou Yanjing, just meeting his deep eyes. There was no panic or wavering in his eyes. He just stared at her quietly, as if conveying some kind of silent support with his eyes.

She averted her gaze, her mind racing. The commander's proposal seemed considerate, but in fact it was an invisible pressure. Being transferred to Zhou Yanjing should be good for his career. After all, this place is remote, and if he moves to a better place, he will have more resources.

Shen Liwu's hesitation made the commander's eyebrows slightly raised, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, "Doctor Shen is more inclined to stay here?"

This made him look at him with new eyes. Is there anyone who would rather stay in a small border town than have a good opportunity in the capital?
