Self-discipline and principles are actually the same thing.
Someone like Chen Rou, who can remain consistent under long-term, high-intensity training, naturally has a strong sense of principle.
If she weren't strong, she would have been replaced long ago by younger, stronger, and more cunning newcomers in a place like the special forces. Of course, the same goes for Nie Zhao; his job requires self-discipline and, more importantly, adherence to principles.
Chen Rou was asking a question, but she was also explaining something.
Mr. Nie felt guilty for not being able to give his wife a single glutinous rice ball.
But after a long silence, he suddenly said, "Actually, I don't love money and I don't have a concept of money."
Chen Rou almost jumped up, thinking to herself, "Even Jack Ma said he doesn't love money, so how can these rich people be so hypocritical?"
She closed the book and asked with a smile, "If you don't love money, then why do you work so hard to earn it?"
Nie Zhao let out a sigh of relief and said, "But the Nie family is my mother's, so I should be in charge of it. I am her son, so I can't be worse than her. Otherwise, outsiders will laugh at her and say that she has no way to educate her son. So I have to work hard."
His words were sincere, and Chen Rou could understand them.
She smiled and said, "Do you know why I dare not slack off and why I have to be strict with myself?"
Nie Zhao actually knew, but wanting to chat with his wife a bit more, he said, "I'd like to hear the details."
Chen Rou is so self-disciplined and hardworking because Yue Zhongqi always said in her past life that she had an excellent father. Although he could not be recognized as a martyr for various reasons, he was a true martyr.
She also said that as the orphan of a martyr, what she should do is carry on the banner of her father and continue to move forward. When she reaches a certain height, she will meet her father at the top.
Chen Rou's training was too tough, and when she couldn't take it anymore, she would ask, "Captain Yue, what exactly is this peak you're talking about? Is it the day I die from exhaustion, and I have to meet my dad in the underworld?"
Yue Zhongqi said, "Bullshit! Your dad is a regimental-level officer, the captain of a special forces brigade. If you don't reach his level, you're dead and you'll never see him again. Now get to training!"
Later, Chen Rou understood that what Yue Zhongqi meant by the pinnacle was that two-bar, four-star epaulette.
He hoped that she could endure what her father had endured.
Unfortunately, she will grow old eventually, and more young and intelligent people will take her place. As a woman, she will naturally be at a disadvantage in various evaluations. So when she retired, she did not receive that epaulette. Although she had tried her best, she had no regrets. But now she has the opportunity to inspire her father.
Others might provoke their kids, but she provokes her dad. She wants her dad to live a long and healthy life, and she wants him to reach an even higher position.
But the problem remains: how can she convince Nie Zhao to let a pregnant woman fly a fighter jet?
