"Quit?"
Hearing the news, Jiang Si was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that in less than three days, things could turn around to this point.
"Hasn't he fought with dad for this position for a long time? Why did he quit all of a sudden?"
Or use physical discomfort as an excuse.
Even someone like Jiang Si who had never been in the army could see that the reason Yu Changqing gave was too far-fetched.
“We don’t know the specific situation.”
Mother Huo only said what she knew, "The news was jointly released by the Military Commission and the General Administration Office early this morning. It shouldn't be fake."
"But whether he quits or not, it won't have much impact on your dad."
Seeing Jiang Si looking at her curiously, Mother Huo lowered her voice and said a few more words.
"The higher-ups all knew about the fight between the Yu and Ling families yesterday. I heard that even the top leaders were alarmed."
Hearing this, Jiang Si even stopped eating, "Is it that serious?"
Mother Huo nodded. "I heard from your father that the Ling family member was demoted and given a serious warning this morning. He will most likely be criticized throughout the entire army."
Afraid that Jiang Si would not remember, Huo's mother reminded her, "It's the one who got divorced four times."
Jiang Si exclaimed loudly, "So it was him, no wonder!"
Mother Huo's tone also carried a hint of pleasure, "The Ling family's lords have been bullying the capital, and the merits accumulated by their ancestors have long been used up, but they still don't know how to restrain themselves."
"They have received three punishments in a row. Once old man Ling steps down, their family will be doomed."
"Although Yu Changqing only received an internal party warning, elections are always a process of gain and loss.
"Originally his support rate is lower than your father's. After this incident, Yu Changqing's chances of winning are actually very slim."
"So he knew he couldn't win this time, so he took the initiative to withdraw. This way he could save his last bit of face and sell it well to our family."
Jiang Si couldn't help but sigh when she said this, "This guy really is a man who plans every three steps and calculates every one step."
What Jiang Si said was right, but not entirely right.
Huo's mother had been dealing with the Yu family for dozens of years, and had a certain understanding of Changqing.
"In addition to these reasons, he took the initiative to withdraw this time. I guess there is another reason because of you."
"I?"
Jiang Si thought for a moment, "Is it because of Yu Manli?"
"That's right." Mother Huo nodded.
Jiang Si was still full of doubts. "Would a man who could push his daughter out for marriage do this for her?"
"Maybe his spirit has faded."
Huo's mother said: "Sisi, you have to know that the Yu family can get to where it is today not relying on him alone."
"Same thing with your dad."
"From the moment they decided to run for election, they have become pawns on the chessboard, with no control over their own advancement or retreat."
"So no one can voluntarily withdraw until the last moment."
"Even if he wants to quit, those who support him behind the scenes will not allow it."
"After all, there are still three months left, so it's hard to say who will win or lose."
Regardless of the reason, Yu Changqing's withdrawal from the election is indeed good news for the Huo family.
Although the matter cannot be considered a done deal until the promotion documents are received, this does not prevent Huo's mother from sharing her joy with her daughter-in-law.
"If nothing unexpected happens, your father will be promoted to the top of the military in a few months."
Jiang Si was not surprised at this result at all.
But I am really happy in my heart.
But when she looked up and saw her mother-in-law looking at her and smiling, Jiang Si suddenly felt something.
"Mom, Dad got a promotion. Will it have an impact on Zhou?"
She remembered that she seemed to have heard Huo Tingzhou mention it before.
In order to avoid suspicion, direct military dependents are usually assigned to serve in different military regions.
If Huo's father was promoted to the military, it would be equivalent to jumping out of the Beijing Military Region.
Wouldn't that mean Huo Tingzhou could be transferred back to Beijing the next time he gets promoted?
If this is the case, they'd better make plans early.
As expected, what Huo's mother said next confirmed Jiang Si's guess.
"Your father got a promotion. If Xiaozhou gets another promotion next time, he will most likely be transferred back to Beijing!"
