Ning Zhiyuan quickly cooked a bowl of tomato and egg noodles. Sang Feiyu rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought. "Zhiyuan, are you going to give a demonstration again tomorrow?"

"No need, today is the last day."

Sang Feiyu hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "I heard from others that in the past, the promotion notices were usually issued the day after the military region's major skills competition. Why is it taking so long this time?"

Ning Zhiyuan was slightly taken aback; he knew the specifics.

But this was a military secret, and he couldn't just tell his wife.

"I'm not quite sure either."

Sang Feiyu stared at him for a while before changing the subject, "Do you know Guo Fengzhi?"

Ning Zhiyuan thought for a moment before nodding, "I know him."

"She kept telling me all day that my in-laws don't like me and don't treat me well."

"Do you think there's something wrong with this person?" Sang Feiyu said, pointing to the area around his head.

Ning Zhiyuan frowned. "What is her motive for saying such discordant things?"

"have no idea."

"I'm telling you about her so you know she's a bad person. Be careful around her in the future, because who knows what kind of thing someone with such bad character might do?"

Sang Feiyu only picked up his chopsticks to eat noodles after giving her instructions.

Ning Zhiyuan seemed lost in thought, not touching his chopsticks for a long time. Sang Feiyu only looked up at him after she had finished eating, "What are you standing there for?"

"Eat noodles."

Ning Zhiyuan snapped out of his daze and quickly finished all the noodles in his bowl.

Sang Feiyu stared in disbelief. What kind of mouth was that?

This is absolutely a gaping maw.

Ning Zhiyuan got up to clear the dishes, while Sang Feiyu went to take a shower.

During her shower, she chatted with her grandparents for a while.

Zhao Hui asked in confusion, "What's going on with this military region's skills competition?"

"Why haven't I received the promotion notice yet?"

If she didn't want to interfere with the outcome, she would have already asked someone to inquire about it.

“I’m not sure either, but Zhiyuan still won the title of ‘Sharpshooter’ in this competition. He’s already finished his top demonstration.” Sang Feiyu replied.

Sang Youde thought for a moment before saying, "There must be some problems in some aspects that are why it has taken so long to issue a notice."

"It's probably not a good thing."

Upon hearing the word "good news," Sang Feiyu suddenly remembered something, "Grandpa, Grandma, I've done a great job!"

"Third-class merit!"

Zhao Hui asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

“I helped the military region translate some intelligence documents, and then they successfully captured three enemy agents and seized two telegraph machines,” Sang Feiyu explained.

"You've done a great job, which will undoubtedly be a plus for Zhiyuan's promotion."

Sang Youde slapped his forehead, his voice trembling with excitement, "Xiaoyu, I understand!"

"The reason why the promotion notice has been delayed is because we are waiting for your merit report to come out. Once you are promoted to Zhiyuan, no one will have anything to say."

“If you don’t perform any meritorious service, those with ulterior motives will definitely use your status as a capitalist’s daughter to attack you.”

"They have nowhere else to attack, so they can only attack your identity."

Zhao Hui also realized what was going on, "So, the promotion report will be coming out soon?"

As her maternal grandparents, they all hoped that Sang Feiyu could have a husband in a high position to protect her, so they hoped more than anyone else that Ning Zhiyuan could be promoted this time.

The higher Ning Zhiyuan climbs, the better he is able to protect Sang Feiyu.

Sang Feiyu felt that her grandparents' guess might be correct, and she secretly looked forward to the promotion notice.
