As for the others, I'm afraid that won't work.
Mo Cheng's position is brigade commander, while Su Yueya's mother is division commander. It's not the brigade commander's place to send the division commander away. Besides, Liu Yuying doesn't go to the front lines to perform missions much anymore. She's more involved in handling military affairs. It's unlikely that she can be avoided in this kind of promotion.
"Of course, it's not good for Dad to directly send Su Yueya's mother away, but Dad can call for reinforcements!" Liu Dekai reminded him.
There are factions in the military too. Liu Dekai may not know much about the higher-ups, but as far as he knows, Brigade Commander Peng has a very good relationship with his father-in-law. At the last promotion meeting, Brigade Commander Peng also supported him.
However, the other two brigade commanders, one of whom is Brigade Commander Wu, has always been a neutral party with a unique style of doing things. Although he is Lu Zhengjun's direct superior, he may not know about Lu Zhengjun's personal grudges with Liu Dekai. He is the kind of person who is difficult to win over and cannot be controlled.
Secondly, there's Brigade Commander Jiang. Let's not even talk about him. He's always been at odds with Mo Cheng. It's good enough if he doesn't go against us, let alone try to win him over.
"So, there shouldn't be any major problems with Brigade Commander Peng, but we can still try to win over Brigade Commander Wu. If Dad can put in a good word for us with the Army Commander, that would be even better!" Liu Dekai said this with a bit of trepidation.
After all, a promotion from deputy battalion commander to battalion commander doesn't really reach the army commander.
People don't have time to meddle in such "trivial matters".
But if it really comes to the army commander, no matter which army commander speaks up, even if Liu Yuying wants to trip up Liu Dekai, she will probably have to give the army commander face!
"I'd better discuss it with my dad first. This matter of using connections needs to be done discreetly," Mo Youyou said.
She is definitely more sensible than before.
In the past, if Liu Dekai had whispered these words in her ear, she would have definitely gone to her father and begged and pleaded until she got the job done.
But now that she knows Su Yueya also has a background and is not so easy to deal with, she has become much calmer and more mature. Knowing that the other party is not so easy to manipulate, she has become more composed.
"Wife, this matter depends on you." Liu Dekai massaged Mo Youyou's shoulders, his posture ingratiating.
Mo Youyou thoroughly enjoyed the massage, her eyes half-closed as she received it with peace of mind.
“I will try my best to bring it up,” she said.
Because of her postpartum confinement, Mo Youyou rarely went out, and Mo Cheng also found it inconvenient to visit his daughter at the Liu family's house, so Jiang Rongmei was usually the one who made the trips more frequently.
Mo Youyou then considered sending a message through her mother. However, Jiang Rongmei had just visited Mo Youyou once, so it was unlikely that she would come again in the next few days. She would have to wait and see.
To hold a promotion meeting, you have to go through procedures, which will definitely take a lot of time.
Liu Dekai was anxious!
Every day at work, he would inquire about news and see if there was any movement. After get off work, he would wait for Mo Youyou to bring him good news.
But after several days of silence, he became restless.
"Mom," Liu Dekai whispered to Zhang Cuihua while helping in the kitchen, "Did Youyou go out today?"
"Going out?" Zhang Cuihua asked in surprise, and said without thinking, "What would she be doing going out? Youyou is still in her postpartum period and can't be exposed to the wind. Why would she go out? What nonsense are you talking about!"
Liu Dekai: "..."
If you haven't gone out, it means you haven't mentioned it to your father-in-law yet!
Suddenly, a nameless anger flared up.
He was extremely anxious, but Mo Youyou, on the other hand, verbally agreed but did nothing. What did that mean?
"What are you doing—" Zhang Cuihua noticed her son's strange expression and immediately grabbed him, afraid that he would cause trouble at home again and quarrel with Mo Youyou. "What's wrong? Why are you concerned about why Youyou went out?"
Only then did Liu Dekai mention the promotion to Zhang Cuihua.
“But Youyou is still in her postpartum period and can’t go out in the wind…” Zhang Cuihua looked conflicted.
"Mom, this is a big deal!" Liu Dekai said, feeling that his mother was really being indecisive. How could one be bothered by trivial matters when it comes to achieving great things?
Besides, with the current family planning policy, he and Mo Youyou won't have a second child, and they don't need to worry about damaging their bodies so they can't have a second child.
Zhang Cuihua couldn't say anything more, after all, it concerned her son's future, which was no small matter.
"Then you should talk to Youyou nicely, but whatever you do, don't argue. If you upset Youyou, she might not speak to her father on your behalf, and that would be a disaster!" Zhang Cuihua reminded her.
"I know what I'm doing!" Liu Dekai said impatiently.
He's been keeping a close eye on this matter lately, and he's been on edge, unable to relax even when he gets home. It's hard for him not to feel resentful.
Zhang Cuihua shook her head helplessly. She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do to help.
While changing clothes in the bedroom, Liu Dekai subtly inquired about the situation with his father-in-law and whether he needed to do anything.
“I haven’t told you yet,” Mo Youyou said, enjoying her fruit and playing with the child. “My mom just came to see me last time, and she probably won’t come again for a few days. I’ll have her tell her that I can’t go out.”
Liu Dekai: "..."
really!
"Youyou," Liu Dekai had to suppress his anger in front of Mo Youyou and tried to persuade her gently, "I think we should do this as soon as possible. It's better to do it sooner rather than later, in case something unexpected happens!"
"Okay, I'll talk to him." Mo Youyou didn't even glance at Liu Dekai, focusing all her attention on entertaining the child.
Liu Dekai: "..."
He changed his clothes, stormed out of the bedroom, and was about to slam the door shut when he finally held back.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.
A few days later, Jiang Rongmei indeed came to see Mo Youyou again.
Mo Youyou wasn't indifferent; she also hoped Liu Dekai could be promoted, so she brought it up.
"Mom, when you go back, talk to Dad and ask him to think of a way to help Dekai get promoted to battalion commander as soon as possible," Mo Youyou said.
"Okay, I'll go back and talk to your dad, and he'll arrange it!" Jiang Rongmei said, her attention immediately drawn to her eldest grandson. She held the chubby little guy tightly, unwilling to let go. "Come here, let Grandma hold you. Oh, so good! So obedient, and so handsome!"
When Liu Dekai returned home that day, he found his mother-in-law there, and his eyes immediately lit up.
Sure enough, as soon as his mother-in-law left, he immediately asked Mo Youyou if she had mentioned the promotion. After receiving an affirmative answer, he excitedly kissed Mo Youyou.
"Wife, you're so good to me!" Liu Dekai said sincerely.
"Look at you!" Mo Youyou said with disdain, but she was secretly quite pleased. "When you need me, you say you're a great wife, but when you don't, you're just being unreasonable, right?"
"Honey, it's perfectly normal for couples to bicker. We can't take it to heart. In fact, arguments can actually strengthen a relationship!" Liu Dekai was in a good mood and could say anything to comfort her.
