Four times?
Liu Dekai's blood was boiling.
"There will be a single election. My dad has inquired and there won't be any parachuted-in candidates this time. Everyone should be promoted from lower ranks. Think about it, if everyone is promoted from the lower ranks, doesn't that mean you have four promotion opportunities? When the vote comes, even if you're not first place, as long as you're in the top four, it'll be done!"
Mo Youyou found out in the afternoon, but she still gets excited when she talks about it now.
When something like this happens, especially when you have a premonition that it will happen to you, no one can really stay calm.
"I understand!" Liu Dekai said, shaking off the frustration of the past few days. He felt like he had come back to life.
If there's only one chance, Su Yueya's people could manipulate things and garner votes to stop Liu Dekai, but what if there are four chances?
Even if Liu Yuying had extraordinary abilities, she wouldn't dare to guarantee that she could definitely rank Liu Dekai fifth!
As for Mo Cheng, as long as he can get Liu Dekai into the top four in the vote, he can be promoted.
"I want to see what tricks they have up their sleeves at the year-end promotion conference!" Liu Dekai said, inwardly overjoyed.
Based on the experience of the previous two times, his vote count is not low, and he always came in second place, so it is not difficult for him to enter the top four.
This time, he'll definitely succeed!
"Dad should make arrangements, right?" Liu Dekai asked.
“Of course.” Mo Youyou replied without hesitation.
Liu Dekai immediately felt relieved, but after two failures, he learned from his experience that he couldn't just rely on Mo Cheng's help; he also needed to establish himself first.
Otherwise, what if others have something to say, and things change again?
Opportunities don't come around all the time, so once one appears in front of him, he has to seize it!
Liu Dekai was determined to win!
“Youyou, you just gave birth to your son and are currently in postpartum confinement. Logically, I should spend more time with you. The military knows our situation and won't assign me any missions, but—”
"Just say what you want to say," Mo Youyou said, already having guessed what was going on.
“I think I should still take on missions as usual during this period, especially to seize opportunities and accumulate more military merits. When the promotion conference is held at the end of the year, if Dad wants to promote me, he will have something to show for it. You understand what I mean?” Liu Dekai asked tentatively.
He was afraid Mo Youyou would be angry, after all, she had always been spoiled, and he didn't know if she could understand him...
"You don't need to worry about these little things, just go for it!" Mo Youyou was surprisingly agreeable.
If it were anything else, Mo Youyou might throw a tantrum, since she had only recently given birth and naturally hoped that Liu Dekai could help her take care of the child.
But this is related to Liu Dekai's promotion after all—if it works out, she will save face, so of course she will support it!
Besides, even if Liu Dekai doesn't go on missions, he stays at home every day and doesn't do many things that can help.
Nursing the baby is something Mo Youyou has to do herself; no one can do it for her.
As for other trivial matters, with Zhang Cuihua around, Liu Dekai wouldn't actually have to do them.
So it would be better to let him go out and make a name for himself.
"Youyou, thank you for supporting me!" Liu Dekai said, moved.
He was genuinely moved at the moment, after all, the Mo family had done their best to promote him to the position, and he had seen all of this. But what did it matter if he was moved?
Ultimately, it was just a moment. When the time came to make a decision, a selfish person like Liu Dekai would not hesitate to choose his own interests.
"Just go for it. I and the Mo family are backing you up," Mo Youyou said. She also wanted to be the battalion commander's wife; how prestigious that would be!
"Okay! I will definitely live up to the opportunity my father fought for for me and strive to get the position of battalion commander at the promotion meeting at the end of the year!" Liu Dekai said, making a firm decision in his heart.
Accumulate military merits diligently to increase your chances of promotion at the end of the year.

Meanwhile, in Huadu, a thousand miles away, Su Cheng was having a lot of worries.
Originally, finally meeting Xu Mao should have been a good thing, but who knew that the damned Scarface would immediately say that his older brother should show him the world, but it wasn't anything special, it was about playing with women.
Su Cheng was extremely worried.
"What's with that expression, kid?" Scarface affectionately put his arm around Su Cheng's shoulder. "You're probably secretly thrilled tonight with your big brother treating you, so why are you pretending?"
Su Cheng: "..."
What's there to be happy about!
But at this moment, he was not Lu Zhengjun; he was Su Cheng.
"Scarface saw right through you?" Su Cheng quickly changed his expression, saying nonchalantly, "Scarface, it's okay to see through things but not say anything. This is my first time experiencing such a big occasion, what's wrong with letting me pretend to be composed?"
"This is my first time meeting my older brother, and I acted like a fool. Doesn't that affect my image in his eyes?"
"Besides, these beauties all belong to Big Brother. Big Brother is generous, so they should belong to you, Scarface. I know my place and I definitely won't be inappropriate!"
It's both a joke and a prelude.
Although he is now Su Cheng, he is still Lu Zhengjun. Even for the sake of the mission, he cannot do anything to betray Su Yueya. First of all, he cannot get past his own conscience.
"Hahaha...you little rascal!" Scarface was now genuinely treating Su Cheng as one of his own, and didn't feel anything was amiss. "But Big Brother isn't as petty as you think. Big Brother is Big Brother. When he's having fun, he never plays those games. He doesn't like to enjoy things alone; he prefers to share them with others..."
His greasy tone, coupled with his lewd and obscene smile, made Su Cheng want to vomit.
Shared joy?
Su Cheng wanted to run away even more.
But this is definitely the first hurdle to overcome when meeting Xu Mao. He absolutely cannot be absent tonight. Not only can he not be absent, but he also has to act in a way that prevents Xu Mao from becoming suspicious. And going along with him is undoubtedly the simplest way.
For Su Cheng, however, it became the most difficult.
What should we do...?
That evening, Scarface took Su Cheng to a mysterious nightclub.
"Is Big Brother not here tonight?" Su Cheng asked, thinking that if Xu Mao wasn't there and only Scarface was hosting, it would be much easier for him to get away with it. Who would have thought—
"Of course he's there, but my brother isn't coming with us. He's already over there." Scarface said mysteriously, without saying much more.
Su Cheng understood and shut up, making sure not to ask a single extra question that he shouldn't have.
When they arrived at their destination, Su Cheng looked up.
"Fenglan Residence?"
Su Cheng was surprised. This place was indeed quite sophisticated. Many respectable people liked to come here to discuss business and conduct business. It was very grand and elegant, and it didn't seem to have anything to do with the word "nightclub" at all.
