There was still a hint of discrimination in what he said, but the female deputy team leader no longer wanted to argue with him.

"Once Comrade Shen focuses on his work, I guarantee that Comrade Liu will never be able to catch up with him!" After saying this, the female deputy team leader turned around and left.

Captain Liu was so angry that he wanted to curse, but when he turned around, he saw Lu Zheng and his brothers standing over there, so he could only shut up in disappointment.

Although they are all regiment leaders, the regiment led by Lu Zheng and a special team under his command are very powerful and have completed many important tasks.

In the eyes of his superiors, Lu Zheng is an excellent soldier and the best male soldier in their military region.

Not to mention that his father is a superior leader.

Although he was able to reach this position by relying on his own strength, he does have a background after all.

Captain Liu left without saying anything.

Lu Zheng walked towards the training ground while talking to his brothers.

"Captain Chen is so outstanding, why do they insist on recommending Captain Lu?"

"Although Captain Lu has completed several special missions, they are just missions. Unlike our Captain Shen, he is an all-rounder who can do everything!"

The brothers chattered for a while, and Lu Zheng shook his head, "There is no final conclusion yet, so don't talk about this."

In the end, no one spoke.

afternoon.

Shen Youran and Lu Zheng were having dinner at home.

Lu Zheng talked about this matter, "I asked my brothers to speak to you. This time, I think we will choose one of you two for this position."

Shen Youran smiled after listening to this.

"It doesn't matter if it's me or not."

Lu Zheng was stunned, and Shen Youran said, "I know what's the difference between me and Lu Yifan. It's a little difference in experience, and the time I've been in this position."

"I am now a battalion commander and have only been in the army for about two years. If it's not me this time, it will be my turn next time. I will be promoted sooner or later, and I don't necessarily have to wait for this position."

"Since Lu Yifan and I have made similar contributions, I think the superiors should be more inclined to Lu Yifan. After all, he has been in this position for several years."

Seeing that his wife thought so thoroughly, Lu Zheng was of course happy.

He sighed, walked over, sat next to her, and gently put his arm around her shoulders.

"The reason why I want you to get promoted earlier is because the person nominated with you this time is Lu Yifan. If you don't get promoted, I'm afraid someone in the army will say that you have been surpassed by Lu Yifan!"

Lu Zheng was indeed thinking from Shen Youran's perspective.

After listening to this, Shen Youran continued to shake her head, still looking indifferent.

"From the beginning, I had no intention of competing with him about the level of our positions, so it doesn't matter whether he gets promoted first or I get promoted first."

"I was so anxious to get promoted before, just to get a house in the army within a year. Now everything is good, I am not short of money, I just want to contribute to the country, not that I have to have a high position."

Lu Zheng hugged his wife, and the two of them stayed like that quietly for a while.

Junjun ran in from outside, sweating profusely.

“Mom and Dad!”

Junjun is a big kid now. He goes out to play in the compound every day and spends almost all his time running around except when he goes to school.

I will exercise at night and then go to bed.

"Come over and eat. You're all sweaty. Remember to take a shower later!"

"OK."

After Junjun finished speaking, he sat down to eat.

Lu Yifan knew that Captain Liu and others had spoken for him today. Although he did not invite them to dinner, he had someone send them something.

Express gratitude.

Captain Liu and his companions were quite happy when they saw the things that were delivered. Fortunately, Lu Yifan was not a fool and did not invite them to have dinner together this afternoon.

Otherwise, if the leaders knew that they had conflicts of interest and that they spoke for Lu Yifan, then the leaders would also remember them.

Everyone was quite happy, and Lu Yifan also returned home.

This matter could not be concealed in the first place, and almost everyone in the entire family compound knew about it. Zhou Xiaohui also heard the rumor when she went out for a stroll in the afternoon.

I asked Lu Yifan after I got home.

"Brother Yifan, I heard that an old captain has retired. The superiors will choose between you and Shen Youran to be promoted to deputy captain, right?"

Lu Yifan nodded when he heard this.

The main reason was that he was very happy these past two days, so he didn't mind what Zhou Xiaohui said.

"That goes without saying, it must be you who got the promotion!"

Zhou Xiaohui was quite happy, but Lu Yifan sat down on the sofa and said, "This still depends on the final decision of the superiors, and it may not be me. Don't hold too high hopes."

Although he thought so in his heart, he felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Zhou Xiaohui's anxious look.

And yesterday my mother waited for me at the gate of the staff quarters and told me something.

They just wanted to come and see the baby, but Zhou Xiaohui disagreed. After they gave her some money, she finally agreed to let them hold the baby.

But the child started crying as soon as he was held in his arms. This was also a big problem. They had given all their money and had no more living expenses.

Although Lu Yifan had some arguments with them because of the previous incident, that was in the past.

Now Zhou Xiaohui's baby has been born, there are no problems, but they are having some difficulties on their side.

Although they asked a sister-in-law to take care of the child, she is not a family member after all. Sometimes they are worried, which makes both of them feel panic-stricken.

Lu Yifan has already begun to think about asking his mother to help take care of the child.

But Zhou Xiaohui disagreed!

It would have been fine if he didn't agree, but he took their money and still refused to let them take a good look at their grandson. Lu Yifan was still quite unhappy in his heart, but he didn't explode for the time being.

"How can you say that? You must try your best. If that doesn't work, just give them some more gifts!"

"Why don't you invite them to dinner this afternoon? Let's go to a big restaurant outside and treat them to something good!"

"You must not let Shen Youran outshine you again. You must work hard to get this position! You must be promoted before Shen Youran!"

Zhou Xiaohui looked at Lu Yifan, who seemed to be indifferent, and suddenly became anxious.

They have been waiting for this promotion opportunity for a long time. If it really falls on Shen Youran, it would be really disgusting!

Zhou Xiaohui's idea was very simple. Shen Youran was pregnant now, and it would be a few months before she gave birth. Then she would have to take care of herself after the baby was born, so she could not take any dangerous missions during this period.
