[Actually, if I applied for a house in the family compound, I might have gotten lucky and gotten one near the female lead's house... What a pity!]
“Tang Tuan, I won’t apply. I’ll stay in the military base.” Leng Yingying had thought it through clearly. She didn’t intend to give the Leng family a chance to leech off her. “I don’t have any family members who need to accompany me to the military base for the time being. Besides, it’s more convenient for me to train in the military base, and it will save me from having to travel back and forth.”
Tang Xiaoshuang nodded and let Leng Yingying leave.
This benefit is not a one-time offer. Even if Leng Yingying doesn't apply now, she can apply again in the future if her situation changes and she needs to apply.
Such a good thing should naturally be shared with others.
The first person Leng Yingying thought of was Su Yueya. Taking advantage of the free time, she quickly ran to the medical department to find her.
"Medical Doctor Su!"
The news of the promotion ceremony has recently spread throughout the military, and Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo naturally know about it as well, and they found out today.
Su Yueya recalled what Leng Yingying had told her during the last mission, and seeing the obvious excitement on her face, she guessed that Leng Yingying had been promoted.
"Congratulations, Company Commander Leng, you've finally gotten rid of the 'Deputy' title," Su Yueya said, happily applauding Leng Yingying.
However, Leng Yingying pretended to be profound and raised one finger, waving it from side to side.
“That’s not right,” Leng Yingying said.
This surprised Su Yueya somewhat.
Could it be that he lost the election and didn't become the company commander?
However, Leng Yingying's performance has always been excellent, and Su Yueya had personally witnessed her decisive and efficient work style during that mission, which made her even more confident that Leng Yingying's promotion would not be a problem.
"What do you mean?" Su Yueya's smile faded, and she asked with some concern, "Did something happen?"
Seeing Su Yueya's concern for her, Leng Yingying couldn't help but laugh.
[Hehe, it seems the female lead still loves me. She looked so worried because I didn't get promoted… I guess only Lu Zhengjun used to get this kind of treatment!]
Su Yueya: "..."
"Tell me what's going on!" Su Yueya urged.
"Yeah, did you get promoted or not? Hurry up and tell us, stop keeping us in suspense!"
Qiao Xinruo was also there, and she was wondering why Leng Yingying, with her personality, could usually let her inner thoughts slip out and couldn't hide anything at all, had managed to hold back today.
What a miracle!
“Of course I got promoted! But—” Leng Yingying deliberately kept everyone in suspense, and after being glared at by Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo at the same time, she continued, “But you can’t call me Company Commander Leng, you should call me Deputy Battalion Commander Leng!”
Praise me! Praise me! Praise me!
[See how amazing I am!]
This kind of exceptional promotion isn't something everyone can achieve. Of course, good-for-nothings like Liu Dekai, who got promoted through connections, don't deserve to be compared to me.
Upon hearing this, Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo were both stunned for a moment.
He was promoted beyond the usual ranks and became a deputy battalion commander!
"That's great! Congratulations, Deputy Battalion Commander Leng! I never expected you to skip a level. That's wonderful!" Su Yueya sincerely congratulated her.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Leng," Qiao Xinruo teased, "you've got some skills!"
"It's nothing special!" Leng Yingying said smugly.
When the three of them started chatting, she spoke vividly and enthusiastically about how Tang Xiaoshuang had fought for her election opportunity.
"I really didn't see that coming, Commander Tang. She always has such a cold face. Sometimes I even wonder if she ever smiles. To be honest, I used to think she might dislike me. Turns out, I was just being petty!"
"You guys didn't see it back then. So many high-ranking leaders questioned me, thinking I wasn't qualified for a promotion. If I didn't handle this well, I might even lose my chance to run for company commander. I was mentally prepared for that. Who knew that Commander Tang would jump out and launch into a tirade, praising me to the skies, hehe..."
"You mean Commander Tang Xiaoshuang, right?" Qiao Xinruo said. "I've heard of her. She's a very upright person. How could she possibly dislike you? At most, she's just a serious person!"
“Yes, yes, that’s called composure, composure, haha…” Leng Yingying said, she now adored her Shuang-jie.
"There's something else I want to complain about. Can't you believe it? The deputy battalion commander can apply for a house in the family compound, but I can't find anyone to live with me. What's the point of me applying? If I live alone, I'll have to run back and forth between the family compound and the military base every day. What's the point?"
Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo exchanged a glance, both wanting to laugh.
Su Yueya even wanted to say that if Leng Yingying needed a greenhouse, her second brother could accompany her to the army; he would probably be more than happy to do so.
Considering that her second brother might have his own plans, and also out of fear of scaring Leng Yingying, Su Yueya didn't say that.
"Actually, it won't affect anything. Think about it, you're going to have a relationship eventually, and applying for a family housing unit is something you'll do sooner or later," Su Yueya said, using a more common approach.
“That’s right, maybe your future partner will also be in the military, and you two can live together in the family compound, that would be perfect!” Qiao Xinruo added.
"What? How could you be dating? That's nonsense!" Leng Yingying waved her hand dismissively, seemingly unconcerned about the claim.
[Dating? Are you crazy? Men will only slow down my sword-drawing speed!]
I, Leng Yingying, have only my career in my heart!
A woman's best companion is her career. Everything else in this world may betray you, but your career will never!
The two sisters: "..."
Thank goodness Qiao Gaoyang wasn't here, or he would have been furious.
Seeing that Leng Yingying was somewhat resistant, Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo didn't continue the topic, afraid that they might accidentally say something wrong and end up making things worse for their second brother.
After chatting for a while, Leng Yingying left first.
Watching her departing figure, Qiao Xinruo let out a long sigh.
"Why……"
"What's wrong with you now?" Su Yueya looked at her sister with amusement.
Qiao Xinruo rarely sighs. She always believes that problems should be solved, and sighing is useless and annoying.
"It's tough! It's tough! I'm just feeling sorry for my second brother," Qiao Xinruo said.
She can make her own decisions and work hard on her own affairs.
But this is Qiao Gaoyang's business, and it's about dating, something that can't be explained by logic. She just wants to help, but she doesn't know which direction to take. She has to be careful, for fear that she might accidentally do something bad with good intentions!
After all, it involved her second brother's happiness for the rest of his life, so Qiao Xinruo dared not act rashly.
“That’s true. Judging from what Leng Yingying said earlier, she probably doesn’t have any thoughts about that at all right now…” Su Yueya also felt melancholy.
