Not long after the division commander finished speaking, a male deputy regiment commander stood up and said, "I think Comrade Shen is more suitable. Although Comrade Shen does not have that much experience, she has made many great contributions and has also developed many things that our troops do not have."

When talking about this, two team leaders became excited.

"Yes, I invited her to come over to our place for some guidance some time ago. She has made great achievements in both research and training!"

"Although the position of deputy leader is not as good as that of leader, I think it must be done by a capable person."

"Not to mention that she also set up a code class. She knows so many things and is a very valuable talent in our army. I think she is very suitable for the position of deputy commander!"

These people had just finished speaking, and Lu Zheng had not yet expressed his opinion, when the team leader who had just recommended Lu Yifan frowned.

He closed the document in front of him and said, "I don't deny that what this comrade said is right, but I also want to make a suggestion. Comrade Shen is now pregnant and will give birth in a few months."

"After she gives birth, she will have to stay in confinement. If we leave the position of deputy leader to her, she might just be an empty shell in the future! Women can't do much during the confinement period after pregnancy and childbirth, and someone needs to take care of the child after the confinement period."

This person speaks very bluntly, even with a hint of contempt.

A female deputy platoon leader who had supported Shen Youran stood up and said, "Giving birth is a woman's right, not a shackle that binds women. During the time when Comrade Shen was pregnant, she was working in the army and never missed a day."

"Comrade Shen's focus has always been on the army. I hope this comrade won't talk nonsense!"

This female deputy head is the only one.

She was promoted after making a great contribution a few years ago. She is already 30 years old this year. She has always admired Shen Youran.

"I think the position of deputy regiment commander should be reserved for people who can do practical things for the army, and Comrade Lu is the most suitable one." Several people usually received a lot of benefits from Lu Yifan. If he could become the deputy regiment commander, they would also get certain benefits, so of course they strongly recommended him.

The female deputy regiment leader stood up and argued, "Comrade Shen hasn't given birth to a child yet, how do you know that her focus is not on the army?"

"You think it's a waste to give her this position, then how many people would do the things she did before?"

"Can you?"

"Can you hypnotize people? Can you organize a code class to teach them Morse code? Or can you contribute something more intensive and better than what Comrade Shen has contributed?"

"What's more, although Captain Shen is pregnant, she also had a child before that. When she joined the army, her child was still young and needed care. As far as I know, she has a good relationship with many military wives. When she was training in the army, she gave her child to other military wives to take care of first."

"This shows that the child will not hinder Captain Shen. I believe she can handle both her family and her career well."

The discussion in the office was very heated.

Lu Zheng is Shen Youran's husband, so of course it's not easy to talk to him, but several of the team leaders and deputy team leaders present are brothers who have a good relationship with him.

He winked at everyone.

"I think we can't just hit them with one hammer. We should give them equal opportunities."

"Comrade Shen is a very capable female soldier. Although she has not been in the army as long as Comrade Lu, she has made many contributions and can almost be said to be all-round."

After someone stood up and spoke, the female deputy leader sat down and glared at the male leader who had just spoken.

"She has never performed badly in any mission, so it's easier to convince people if she is promoted to deputy leader!"

Although Lu Yifan and Shen Youran are indeed outstanding, there are two other comrades on the list.

"Although the other two comrades are also excellent, their achievements are still not as great as Comrade Shen and Comrade Lu, so we need to consider this carefully!"

"Yes, we think so too."

"Although they have both been battalion commanders for several years, in comparison, Captain Shen and Captain Lu are still stronger."

Seeing that most people had the same idea, the two leaders and the division commander understood that the position of deputy commander would most likely be chosen between Shen Youran and Lu Yifan.

But to be honest, they seem to prefer these two people.

Although Lu Yifan had done some bad things before, he has tried his best to make up for it in the past six months and completed many wonderful tasks.

In addition, he did not do anything incredible, and his previous performance was indeed remarkable.

As for Shen Youran, needless to say, the entire military region knew about her glorious deeds, and even her superiors were familiar with her name.

Apart from the fact that he served as battalion commander for a short period of time and was promoted quickly, there was no problem.

"Then let's adjourn the meeting first and wait for a while to see how the two of them perform!" This was just a preliminary discussion, and the exact time for a decision to be made remained to be determined.

The meeting was over and everyone walked out slowly, discussing as they walked.

Now these group leaders and deputy group leaders are almost divided into two factions.

One side supports Shen Youran, the other side supports Lu Yifan.

Just after leaving the conference room, the female deputy team leader walked up to the male team leader and said, "Captain Liu, I hope that next time you speak, you will be responsible for what you say."

"You can say that Comrade Shen's focus will be on the child instead of work in the future, but you can never say that she can't do anything because she is pregnant!"

"I strongly disagree with what you said."

As soon as Captain Liu saw the female deputy captain in front of him, he felt a headache because she was the most serious one.

No matter what others say, you must argue with them.

Captain Liu took a look and saw that the people who supported Lu Yifan were standing aside, obviously not intending to help him.

Because what he just said was indeed a little too much. If the leader saw it and had some opinions about them, that would be bad.

If a woman's pregnancy becomes an obstacle to her promotion, then who would be willing to have children?

Captain Liu cursed inwardly.

"I'm sorry. I just said something that I didn't think right. I will never say that again. I don't have to support Captain Lu, but I think that since a woman has given birth to a child, she should focus on the child first."

"Comrade Shen is so outstanding. I think it would be a good idea to wait until the child grows up and then rejoin the army."
