Shen Hongxia said goodbye to Deputy Division Commander Duan and insisted on leaving. "Sister Liang, I'll come again another day!"
Seeing that Shen Hongxiang was really leaving, Sister Liang stopped talking and saw her out.
"You're overthinking things!" Sister Liang noticed it too. This was the third time; Shen Hongxiang would leave as soon as Lao Duan came back.
"Sister Liang, I used to think things through too little. I can't always be like that!"
If I could imagine that a divorced woman would be inconvenient for people, then I wouldn't have been disliked in the first place, right?
"I finally have a sister to talk to, I don't want you to hate me!" Shen Hongxiang's words were somewhat veiled.
Shen Hongxiang had been living in this courtyard for several months, and everyone knew who she was. Now, she's suddenly stopped going to Chief of Staff Duan's house. If she doesn't explain it to Sister Liang, Sister Liang will definitely find it strange.
So Shen Hongxiang gave a subtle hint. She stopped seeing Wang Guilan because she was a divorced woman and was bothering her. This wasn't the first time she'd said something like this.
Deputy Division Commander Duan: "She's gone?"
Actually, it would be best to let her come to our house less often, since Chief of Staff Duan's family is watching over us.
No matter what, I still call Chief of Staff Duan "brother"!
Sister Liang: "This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Shen Hongxiang."
Could it be that Chief of Staff Duan had some ideas that his wife discovered?
Or maybe his wife is just being paranoid.
You're not that kind of person, and I won't throw mud at others.
Only Duan's family, Wang Guilan's brothers, and Commander Shen's family knew about the trouble Shen Hongxiang caused at Chief of Staff's house.
They certainly wouldn't reveal this without a reason, since words alone cannot prove such things. Shen Hongxiang wouldn't admit to doing anything in front of outsiders.
So, nobody really knows.
Deputy Division Commander Duan: "Hey, don't talk nonsense! If this gets out, it'll be a disaster!"
"I understand. I was just taking it as a joke!"
Hongxiang is also a very sensible person.
If this gets out, how will she ever face anyone again?!
"Hey, why are you back in the middle of the day?" Sister Liang asked her husband.
"It's that same old story again. I haven't seen them for two days. I have no idea what they're planning!"
"If you're quitting, just give me a straight answer. This is driving me crazy!" Deputy Division Commander Duan said angrily.
His wife understood what Lao Duan was thinking. "Lao Duan, do you think this was arranged by a higher-up?"
He didn't refuse any of the conditions you proposed. They're probably paving the way for their men!
If this doesn't work out, their men won't get away with it either!
They can't even get a glimpse of their superiors, like the old leader!
Leaders will only ask whether the matter will succeed or not.
"What do you think the leaders will think of them?"
Deputy Division Commander Duan: "What you said makes sense. He's more anxious than we are."
Behind all this is Shen Changchuan.
"Shen Changchuan is powerful, but you're not in their army. What can he do to you?" Sister Liang thought about how Shen Changchuan had made it clear he wouldn't associate with his family. His daughter-in-law saw Old Han every day but refused to help.
This wasn't difficult for them, so did they help? No.
Do you still want to profit from Lao Duan?
Deputy Division Commander Duan also had this idea. The thought that Commander Shen's daughter-in-law was among the partners in the food factory, and that Commander Shen's son would also benefit from this in the future, made him uneasy.
Deputy Division Commander Duan most agreed with his wife's point of view: they had profited greatly from this matter, and if someone became jealous and reported it, wouldn't it implicate them in the future?
It's called the Sandao Street Food Factory, but it's not actually a privately owned enterprise. Huge sums of money are going into personal pockets, and one day when they come to investigate… even Deputy Division Commander Duan is afraid.
Deputy Division Commander Duan must wholeheartedly consider the interests of the troops. Personal businesses are none of his concern if they don't generate profit.
As for whether they are afraid that Shen Changchuan will report them to higher authorities.
If the military dependents at the food factory want this reputation, they'll have to accept it reluctantly.
Now that the matter is settled, what can Commander Shen sue for? Should he sue his son for not getting any benefit?
Deputy Division Commander Duan never expected that Chang Xiaohu and his group would back down and refuse to cooperate.
It was because Xiao Hu had been too cooperative these days that he got the wrong impression. Chang Xiao Hu didn't dare to breathe too loudly in front of him.
He is a public official, while Chang Xiaohu is a private individual.
Chang Xiaohu lacked confidence.
...
Wei Aiguo went to see Commander He. He had only met him briefly last time, but Su Zhaohai's wife had ruined the meeting.
When Commander He wanted to find Wei Aiguo again, he didn't know where to look for him.
They should have a thorough discussion during this meeting.
At noon, Regiment Commander He took Wei Aiguo to his home for lunch.
After the meal, Regiment Commander He happily saw Wei Aiguo off.
He's sister-in-law didn't hear what they were saying before the meal, but she heard a lot of things during the meal.
"Old He, if this matter is successfully resolved, will I be able to find a job?" Mrs. He asked.
“We have to wait, wait for them to ruin this…” Commander He said.
"Can you believe someone is that stupid? Pushing such a good opportunity away like that," said Sister He.
"Do you know why we advocate reform? There are many people who wait for food and have gotten used to it. They know you have to bring me food, and you have to accept whether I treat you well or badly."
"Does Deputy Division Commander Duan think that since it's an order from above, how dare you disobey it?" Regiment Commander He glanced at his watch.
"I'm leaving now. I'm going to see my supervisor. I'll lay the groundwork beforehand when I get there!"
...
When Pan Lanlan heard Xiao Hu talk about this, she was furious. She wanted to reason with Deputy Division Commander Duan that very day.
Xiao Hu told him not to be so impulsive.
Sending Pan Lanlan wasn't meant for her to fight with Deputy Division Commander Duan.
Pan Lanlan's arrogance is ingrained; let her arrogance challenge Deputy Division Commander Duan's arrogance.
But this situation cannot collapse.
We need to give Deputy Division Commander Duan and his team a good talking-to; we're not afraid of their demanding conditions now.
Pan Lanlan naturally listened to Chang Xiaohu, and the matter was postponed for three days.
